He arrived the same day Aph did. He arrived in a huddle of first years, all trembling and afraid. He arrived in the centre of them all, his position, his power, already assured. He arrived with his flashing eyes and his cold smile. He arrived in a crown of glory, the darling of the school. He arrived, making everyone fall under his spell. He arrived, and Aph arrived, and that was the day Aph fell in love. He was everything to Aph. He was the earth he stepped on, the air he breathed. He was Aph's life. He was Tom Marvelo Riddle and he would be the death of all who followed him.
