Quite chilling!

[orpheus_samhain]

Thank you! I hoped it would be :)

OMG! That should have been in HBP! That's so shockingly true to Tom's personality. Awesome story!

[orpheus_samhain]

Thank you very much :) I tried to stick to canon as much as I could :)))

[orpheus_samhain]

Thank you. I was pretty nervous about Ollivander and stalled as long as I could but when I finally got to write it it almost wrote itself *snorts* Tom is a very clear character in my mind, so I knew what he could do :)

[orpheus_samhain]

Thank you very much *hugs*

In my mind Tom had an appointed path from his early childhood. Not because a child can be evil but because of his character and circumstances. Deadly mixture.

This is absolutely fantastic! I especially liked the scene at Ollivander's and the first transfiguring the match to a needle. Wow.

[orpheus_samhain]

Thank you very much *grins*

The scene with Transfiguration was the first one (along with the wardrobe) I wrote. Tom buying his wand seemed one of the most emotional for him so it had to be treated with all due respect :)
