"I ask you to be my apprentice then, learn from me how to find meaning in life. All that I ask of you is your loyalty, and that you do not betray me, while you are staying here with me in my service or otherwise. I shall protect you Tom Riddle so that when this war is over you may have that freedom that you so desire as while the war is on your life will be in danger should you roam too far. But you have my word that I shall teach you to apparate, to give you as much as is possible without compromising your safety."
