Well... For what I understood, I like it very much !

Oh. My. Goodness. Gracious. Me.

I don't think there are words to describe how amazing that was. The way you took the perspective of different characters throughout was amazing.

Your descriptions were perfect. Your words worked to describe everything with such vivid clarity that the best of us can only wish for.

The way you made young Tom cold and hash but not entirely devoid of emotion was amazing as well. Too often it's easier to dismiss him as emotionless and empty, but it's rather obvious in the action he takes that he's not, and you wrote it perfectly.

In short, I adored this. It must be one of my favourites. You are truly a marvellous author.

Hi Hannah, it's Sophie from Sarah's forum. I am guessing it's actually Tom Riddle Sr, not Tom Riddle Jr as you registered.

(Sorry to be picking or maybe I missed something)

I want to write something more than 'me likey'. Tom Riddle Sr does come off like I imagined him too especially with the line ' But I always knew she'd look after her own'. He must have tried to justify leaving Merope and his unborn son. And Voldemort laughed and laughed. Yup, the only time he laughs, is evilly ...

I am so bad at reviews.

Good Story, the first one about Tom Riddle Sr I have read, I think

I love that...

The different men...

That's so well done... It's breath-taking.

Hands shaking...

I love his thoughts...

I love love love them.

The looking alike... It's such a physical pain for him... I love it so much... So strong, intense...

And I loved Tom Sr's reaction.

Wow...it's so wow.

And Tom's reaction to his father's words... The pure loathing there... So beautiful...

Yes, he knew... That he had a son...

That reaction to the magic... It's so well said... OMG...

And he believes that magic kept her alive...

(sighs)

How it all rushes suddenly...

And the killings...

OMG

So powerful...

The ending...

OMG OMG

I love it!

I love you!

And I'm done with your fics!

(kisses)

This is wonderful Hannah! I can't believe you don't have more reviews. I love your Voldemort so much. He's a sociopath, but not totally immune from feeling. I think you really get that.

My favorite part was when Voldemort looked at his father and saw his own face. It's a very important moment for him, because you can know what he's going to do to himself later. It was always so fascinating to me that a man who was so handsome would deliberately ruin his looks. But of course, what he was really trying to do was get rid of his father's features, just like he did by changing his name.

Great job. You should definitely write more Voldemort POV.

I liked how you wrote the teenaged Voldemort and his confrontation with his Muggle father. Thanks for writing

Hmm. Going through your stories after loving English Summer Rain (is that creepy? Oh well), it turns out I've already read all your oneshots and hadn't taken the time to reveiw. So here it is. You have a knack for dark.

I see what you mean... I knew I wasn't the first to pick the subject up, but I seriously didn't see this! -Sigh... -

It was really good, and would've probably satisfied my craving...

"Ridiculous. Why should he be nervous? After all, it would hardly be the first time he'd killed. Not when you looked at it rationally. Surely that Myrtle girl's death was murder. Yes. The Basilisk had killed on his orders, therefore he had murdered. The thought cheered him slightly." Oh my god... I started cracking up (I'm on the phone with my friend Tragedy. We make up the two parts of TimelessParodies. Tragedy and Comedy.)I love it! But yeah, you're right... it's REALLY similar... except better written. Ah well... I love reviews anyway, and it WAS a lot of help.

Cheers!

OMG. This is amazing. And I'm scared. Why should you be scared of Bellatrix fanatics, when you can write this? LOL jk. But seriously. Your description of everyone is dead on (no pun intended), and it really drew me into your fic. Again, questioning whether or not that is a good thing. You should totally get more reviews for this, praising your awesomeness.

"He wanted to lash out in anger, to punch and pummell and jinx and hex until every inch of that face was broken and battered and bent out of shape." -shivers- Yep, times like that, you DON'T want to look like your would-be-murderer.

Great job here! Loves.

I don't know if I should be impressed by your writing or disturbed by your consistent choice of subject matter! No, only kidding - you write dark stories very well, and you should keep it up. Just make sure it doesn't spill over into your real life!

So, details, details...I liked your imagery of the sunset as "bloody light." Very modernist (I'm studying that era now and we just read a poem in which the sun is described as a bleeding, sightless eye. This reminded me of that). I love Tom trying to talk himself out of being nervous - a very creepy scene. Also when he's looking at his father and realizes how much they look alike. Also your description of the green light of the Avada Kedevras. And the ending, where you make the change from Tom Riddle to Lord Voldemort and mention the Horcrux.

Okay, just a quick note - if Frank Bryce is elderly here, about 50 years before GoF, and he is also elderly there, then he must be REALLY REALLY OLD in GoF. More likely he would be fairly young here probably around 30. Just pointing that out. I'm a bit of a stickler.

Anyways, this is a great story. You get into Voldemort's head far too well. Keep it up!
