Tomarrymort idea #1

We're all aware that Voldy had horcruxes, but like, what if they were people and had separate personalities?

Starting simple, Tom's diary. The diary was meant to lure people, it was endearing, people trust it. Maybe if it was a person, it would be rather attractive, hence the luring, it would be kind and caring, maybe a bit secretive though, it is a diary after all.

Nagini. Nagini was cursed to turn to a snake, but the girl used that to their advantage and joined a circus, maybe that means that this Tom would find the silver lining. Voldy went to the snake when he was weak, which could mean that this Tom would be a person good with comforting or helping Harry. Nagini was loyal, devoted, meaning that maybe this Tom would be as well.

Rowena Raven claws diadem. Her Diadem was stolen by her daughter, meaning that this Tom is probably greedy. Her daughter was jealous, meaning that maybe Tom would get jealous too, I.E, not like it when the other horcruxes spend too much time with Harry, etc. He was described as being arrogant about the whole situation, but he was also smart about it, meaning this Tom would probably be arrogant and smart.

Hufflepuffs Cup. Hufflepuffs Cup was owned by the Hufflepuffs, obviously. Loyal, fair, and Hardworking. Hufflepuffs are typically kinder, more gentle, meaning I totally see this Tom being very soft with Harry, devoted, gentle, kind, etc. Also, he can probably cook well since Hufflepuffs are by the kitchen, added bonus I suppose.

Slytherins locket. Slytherin's locket was hidden under a potion that caused the person who drank it to experience their worst memories, fears, like a nightmare. It brought great dread, just the thought of drinking it made people frightened, it also forced the drinker to either drink the water from the lake or die. I could see this Tom being very intimidating given the fear that occurs, scary, cunning, etc. Also, I see him being very aggressively loving if that makes sense. Like, "you look bad, go to sleep." Or something, cold, calculating, yet still loving.

Marvelo Gaunts ring. The ring was very, very expensive. It was highly valued, it was subtle yet elegant. One of the most well known owners of the ring given it's very long heritage was the same person who wanted the resurrection stone. He ended up ending his life to be reunited with the one he loved. Given this information, I can see this Tom being incredibly dramatic and gaudy, maybe a bit greedy, but also very devoted and loving, very much a gentleman.

Even better if Harry has no idea how the fuck there are all this many Tom's and why they're all trying to date him.

for horcrux is an imaginary friend hp au, I think it would try to corrupt him. Telling him things like, you're the best, you deserve to get take what you want, when you're powerful enough they'll all love you, like roxy from fnaf's voicelines to herself.

It would also be interesting to see where the Horcrux's allegiance ended up. I mean, if it's other self is trying to kill Harry does it want to aid and abet that, or does it want to help Harry survive? Does it view it as if Harry becomes the corrupted Dark Lord ruler of the world rather than the Horcuxes main body, that's probably more fun for the Horcrux bit. Or does it want to get Harry to join the side of its other self? OR does the Horcrux in turn get slowly influenced by Harry's morals, world view and experiences? (Experiences like having genuine friends that actually care about you, which Tom never had etc.)? If Harry still destroys the soul bit in the end what is their last meeting in King's Cross like? How does Harry feel afterwards? So much interesting fic fodder.

“You, though, are still something of a mystery, Hadrian Gaunt. How could you, my flesh and blood, side with the boy who represents all who are against me?”

“Because you murdered my parents,” Harry snaps. “Tortured me. I have no reason to side with Voldemort.”

“You could be great,” Thersander sneers. “Could stand by the side of the greatest sorcerer in the world as my heir.”

“I can be great without you.”

Thersander’s lip curls. “All you are is because of me.”

tom riddle is a dumb mf

all he had to do was make one horcrux, out it in a pebble and throw that shit in the ocean or bury it and he would have lived forever but NO.

he just had to make fucking 7 in fancy smancy items of meaning, essentially creating a fun scavenger hunt for harry and the gang to find and destroy like wot.

ms girl literally ended up dying earlier than he would have if he had just had a good diet and exercised regularly. oh, and he died ugly so 😐

He fell to his knees in front of Harry Potter, in front of his Death Eaters, his larynx crushed under the weight of fear of death and unable to scream. What was left of his body began to turn to ash as he remembered her words and a vision of her appeared in his fractured mind.

“You will remember this moment.” she had said, slipping away from him and standing with the careless grace characteristically bestowed upon a Malfoy.

“When your soul is split into so many pieces you’re no longer yourself, but a shadow of the man you could have been. You will feel my absence like a phantom limb and you will know what it is to breath but never truly live.” she spoke with a sense of premonition, as though she had seen it herself.

How right she had been.

Posting selfie

It feels like I make horcux when I do that; leaving a little piece of me on virtual world where it is accessible for all my close friend. Fortunately, I very very rarely do that. Maybe I have issues.

Something I don't get about Voldemort: Why did he make his Horcruxes things that were so easy to find? Like I get that he wanted to make them important things because they held his soul, but wouldn't you want the things holding your soul to be untraceable and safe? Cause if he say, turned pebbles, rocks, or something and then threw them into the ocean or gave the coins to strangers (or hell, turned a knut or something into one and stuck it in a random vault) cause they can only be destroyed by Fiendfyre or basilisk venom so they would be safe. Hell, he could of thrown most of his Horcruxes into the ocean and they wouldn't be found and still be safe. Seriously Voldie, you're a fucking twit.
