In this life, by the end of his sixth year, Tom Riddle had still achieved much. He was a Triwizard Tournament Champion, a Ministry intern for the second summer in a row, a prefect and soon to be Head Boy, and Harry Potter’s intended. He was Slytherin’s Heir and the Hero of Hogwarts, the darling of the Wizarding world for locating and arranging the safe removal of the fearsome basilisk. Every historian, mythologist, and magical architect wanted to speak to him – as he was the only one who could let them into the Chamber of Secrets, a place once thought mythical – and every journalist wanted to speculate about his future.
