Professor Riddle taught Defense against the Dark Arts almost all your years at Hogwarts, you both have seen each other grow up even. He became your favorite teacher, and you seemed to have become his favorite student after he started offering after school study help.

Tom grew fond of you, somehow always finding you when you were in trouble and making an excuse for you to flee or protecting you. He made sure to keep you out of the plans he had, but hoping you’d accept him if he ever told you.
