Biography Of Tom Riddle

Also known as Lord Voldemort, Tom Marvolo Riddle was born on the 31st Of December 1926 at Wool’s Muggle Orphanage in London. Through his tragic childhood, he became aware of the strange things he could do like make things move without touching them and “Making bad things happen to the people I don’t like” as he confined that to Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledorewho came to visit him. Another curious thing was that he had power that no ordinary boy like him could do…apart from...well…The Boy who lived. He could talk to snakes and make them do what he said. That means….He could speak Parseltongue, a gift inherited from Salazar Slytherin himself. 

For his magic education, he attended Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1938 and was sorted into the ambitious house, Slytherin. The Slytherin house was obsessed with blood-types, So Tom didn’t touch Pure-bloods and half-bloods (like him). However, he targeted Muggle-borns or “Mudblood” as they called it. He killed them by setting the great Heir of Slytherin (A venomous Basilisk) by his ability to talk to snakes and serpents. 

Hard working student he was, he wondered around the restricted section of the Library and found out how to make a Hurcrux (Full story about that in the next Witch Weekly #2!! So look out for my name!!) and how to make himself un-diable. Legends tell  us that he created his first one at the age of 16, as he was chosen Prefect for Slytherin. No one could blame him for being the Heir Of Slytherin, as he was model to all, apart from a noble man who was their Transfiguration teacher named Albus Dumbledore. Yes, the very same.

Splitting his soul (ripping) into seven pieces, though Tom had created one accidentally….The Boy who lived. Later, he abundant his “Foolish Muggle name” and demanded to be called Lord Voldemort. And committing countless murders with his faithful servants Death Eaters. 

After many unsuccessful attempts of killing his target, with his followers (Bellatrix Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy and millions of others, he got killed by his own target, Harry James Potter.

He was also called He-who-must-not-be-named and You-know-who.
