Second Heir

Comma

Story Summary:
In my sixth year at Hogwarts, a door was opened, a door to a place so dark that even I was reluctant to step inside. However, my good friend Tom Riddle welcomed that darkness with open arms. Because of my feeling of obligation to my friend -- to my leader -- and because of my own curiosity, I helped to reacquaint the school with the wrath of Salazar Slytherin. I, one of Slytherin's last heirs, helped Tom Riddle in his attempt to purge the school of impure blood. I, Timothy Gaunt, reluctantly opened to the darkness, regardless of the danger it would impose upon Hogwarts.

Sleep seemed to be a foreign concept to me that night, as I believe it also was to Tom. It was for very different reasons for the two of us – Tom was anxious about tomorrow. I was nervous. As I had thought about it, I came to a realization that I couldn’t get off of my mind. I realized that I would be the greatest suspect in this for a number of reasons.
