OH

You’ve always known coldness—your parents’ sharp words, their rough hands, the way they looked right through you like you were nothing more than a burden. Until Marvolo Riddle. Quiet, sharp-jawed, and feared by everyone in the village, he saw something in you no one else ever had. He became your first secret, your only comfort… and when your parents finally cast you out onto the mud with nothing but the clothes on your back, he was already waiting at the end of the lane.
