A summary of what happens 90% of the time in time travel fics during the arc where Tom Marvolo Riddle finds out Harry is the MoD, a parseltongue, a powerful wizard, his horcrux, a time traveller, or just plain out weird and annoying

Tom Riddle was a Victorian ghost girl trapped in a boy’s body. Obsessed with diaries. Refused to die. Loved monologuing. Definitely cursed some lace, cursed boys, cursed fate itself. If you don’t see the haunted femininity in him, you’re not paying attention.

On one day, during a serious meeting between the young Knights of Walpurgis during their 3rd year:

Orion: I am not ignorant of our Lord's humble upbringing, but I can't help but wonder where our Lord acquires such refined jewelry and impeccable elegance and poise. Orion: Surely, those muggles couldn't have provided it? Those robes our Lord wore today were exquisite! Abraxas: If anything, our Lord would have simply learned those teachings on his own! It would be no surprise if many powerful individuals were to sponsor our Lord for his brilliance! Rosier: Truly, our Lord's prowess knows no bounds if that were the case. Befitting for the person we serve. Tom Marvolo Riddle, in the same day, cornering a random pureblood Hufflepuff in some hallway: Today's the due. Pay up, or I'll rat on you snogging Smith last month to your parents.

It’s a picture of Riddle and Harry.

In it Harry sports a tense smile, the kind Hermione only ever saw back when they were in Hogwarts. When the new younger years would approach him and ask for his autograph, ask to see his scar and fall all over themselves to meet him. Ron liked to call it Harry’s ‘fake face’, and even though those days they were hard-pressed to agree on anything, both vehemently agreed they hated seeing that look on Harry.

She cringes the longer she looks at him—Harry’s so stiff! With his arms crossed (a self-soothing habit, Hermione knows) and his awkward little lean to the left. Goodness, Harry looks mid bolt like he’d do anything to get out of that situation right now.

It’s all made even worse because, in comparison to the near statue stillness of Harry, Tom Riddle is like a whole movie.

Hermione watches (with a slightly morbid fascination) how Riddle’s eyes meet the camera with pinpoint accuracy. How he grins slowly, his confidence visible in its wide fullness. Distracted, she wonders if all his self-assuredness comes from that dimple on his right cheek? Then she scoffs and definitely knows it’s at least partly responsible for Riddle’s many features in Witch Weekly.

It all lasts only a handful of seconds before Riddle’s gaze strays back to Harry, and it takes multiple loops before she confirms: yes, Riddle does actually frown when he looks Harry’s way. It’s the slightest, faintest frown she’s ever seen in her life, but it is there, and it pulls all that confident smugness of his down with it. After, Riddle suddenly shifts towards Harry, maybe to get closer, but the picture resets before Hermione can see if he follows through.

It’s such an odd little moment, both of them dressed in formal robes and clearly caught by surprise. Where was this photo even taken? How does it even exist in the first place? Surely whoever took it saw Harry’s stiffness or how Riddle broke pose too soon? Surely they’d vanish it, unusable as it was, not at all cover page or picture book material.

It’s even odder when Hermione takes a moment to realise that this photo must mean an awful lot to Riddle…for him to have gone out of his way to frame it for his desk… Actually, could this be the only photo of them together? It feels so impossible considering the meetings and galas and events, all seemingly never-ending.

Oh. It clicks to Hermione in a flash that it very well can’t be the only photo of them together, but possibly it’s the only photo of them alone. Just them. No one else to their sides, on their arms, or in the foreground and background.

With a steadying inhale, an overwhelming feeling of awe fills her. It grows, starting in the middle of her chest and pushes its way up to the rosy blush of her cheeks. Hermione stands in Riddle’s private study, shocked and wholly blindsided, wondering just how long exactly Tom Riddle has been pining over Harry Potter.

Tom Riddle, when he first opened the Chamber of Secrets: Dear diary, my teen angst bullshit now has a body count.

Both introverts, but it's funny

I've had this ageswap story in my head where as a kid Reigen jumps in the middle of the street to save a dog and he meets Mob when Mob shows up to save Reigen (and the doggo) from oncoming traffic. So Reigen stalks Mob to the office and he's genuinely a good kid because little Reigen thinks it's the coolest thing to help people with your powers and Mob acknowledges this and agrees to take him on as his student
