Wow, more very intense scenes. Your description of Tom's Legilimency was amazing. Absolutely harrowing, but very true to what we know of his character, and stylishly written. I guess there is going to be blood and gore coming up - eek!

I need to stop saying 'Wow' every review! lol.

Hi, good to see you back.

Wow, the Cruciatus Curse as foreplay! That's harsh! Poor Celeste. You write a very convincing young Voldemort; I'm sure he would have been exactly like this.

Wow, Pensieve Person, that was a very powerful chapter. You have a talent for gothic horror with that Dark Arts erotica book, I think; it figures that somebody like Voldemort would find torture and dismemberment arousing. Thankfully for Celeste he doesn't know the spells! Tom is great to have as a character because you get to explore the darkest corners of your imagination. I'm on tenterhooks for the next chapter now...eeek!

Nice spooky ambience in the secret passageway there....I'm looking forward to your forthcoming lemons now that the scene is set. I think Celeste might be in for a shock.

Ah, so Dumbledore regrets it now. I wonder how it will affect the way he is with Tom. And I kind of fear for Celeste...I think she is going to bear the brunt of Tom's rage. Cornflakes with bacon and milk though? That is the breakfast of Dark Lords!;-)

I think you capture the thoughts going through Tom's mind afterwards really well - a mixture of anger, wounded pride and desire to turn the situation to his advantage. Is Celeste going to find out? And who is going to feel the force of Tom's rage? My vote goes to Slughorn, but I'll wait and see... I like your angle of showing Tom's 'human' side. After all, he is still more or less a child. One wonders if he could have been turned from his eventual destiny, if he had been handled with more care at school.

Thanks for the review Sheherazade...I just planned most of what will happen between Tom/Celeste and it's really steamy...The ending is going to be freakin ironic. It seemed like in the beginning like all this was gonna be was my own fantasy of Riddle getting in trouble...but it's starting to turn really dark and not where I expected. This is what happens when I write TMR...I swear I'm channeling his essence.

dumbles is even dumber when it comes to childerns state of mind than tom is of girls.

yeah, but you've gotta understand where Dumbledore is coming from. He did not act that dumb either. He knows how Tom Riddle is and how Riddle is no where near that of a normal child. He's actually a profoundly gifted, yet sadistic kid. Dumbledore knows that and Dumbledore unfortunately acted impulsively. He made a mistake and we know he's only human and can do that. He thought, that teaching Tom through that harsh discipline, might force such a disturbed boy as he is to conform, but as soon as it was over he saw quite the opposite and he regrets what he did. Dumbledore would not have done that to any other student at Hogwarts though, he only did it to the one he considers the worst threat to society.
