(If anyone has pictures of who they imagine a 28-35 year old Voldemort to look like, send them to me!)

I think the one thing I disagree with you on is the marietta thing lol.

Like idk, maybe it's because I grew up in a dictatorship where we had to hide normal activities because if we were caught doing certain normal things, we would face strong punishments (a beating, torture, prison, even death) but for me reading those books, as horrible as it was, it seemed fitting.

At 15/16 years old, you're old enough to know better. A spineless coward deserves to face the consequences of their actions.

Marietta betraying everyone, including her best friend, out of cowardice, could've resulted in serious consequences. Any of them being expelled and having their wands taken from them could've been a death sentence.

Like it was serious.

Hermione pisses me off for a lot of reasons in the books, and she goes way too far in her physical violence throughout the books as well, but this instance was not one of them. At least in my opinion.

Maybe it's a me problem, but it's difficult to sympathize with cowards, especially when those cowards hurt other people. This wasn't a "I'm gonna snitch on a few students sneaking past curfew and they'll get a dozen points taken as well as a detention cleaning a classroom" this was literally giving a disgusting evil woman the opportunity to torture students who are just trying to prepare themselves to survive in the middle of a war, because all the adults are failing them.

"Marietta didn't know" she's not a child. She has the ability to think. "Her mother" she sees her mom 2 months a year and has been living away from her for 6. This is not a 12 year old repeating what her parents tell her, this is a grown ass teenager who had the ability to literally ask her own questions and make her own research and critically think, but chose not to and instead chose ignorance.

It's war. You betray people, and cause horrible consequences to everyone around you which results in so many students being abused and harmed, you get the permanent curse.

Anon I think you misread me, I completely and totally agree with you ❤️ I meant that I would defend Hermione, not that I defend Marietta. I’ve written more about this topic here if you’re interested.

It’s like people ignore that Hermione was nearly murdered by Tom Riddle at 12 years old. In addition to everything with Umbridge that year, the consequences in this war for her as a Muggleborn are very real and very personal.

Also, when Hermione was cursing the parchment, it’s not like she knew the culprit would be someone trying to protect their mother or whatever - she was likely assuming the worst motivations.

I think to villainize Hermione for this is a very sexist take and minimizing the impact of blood purity - especially if you defend fascist men like Regulus, Tom Riddle, Snape, Barty, etc.

THIS IS US BTW :3 IF U EVEN CARE ^_^!!

Voldemort is canonically someone who loves to chat. How do we know? With Dumbledore he talks about an old dispute about love, with Barty they probably talked about fathers, with Snape they probably talked about Lily and desire, with Bellatrix they told each other everything. And then again, how many times does Harry talk about superfluous or personal things, like when they were waiting for the Death Eaters in the cemetery? No, Voldemort likes to talk and even gossip.

The real reason Tom Riddle got sorted so fast:

Tom Riddle: *finds out Dumbledore is the head of Gryffindor House*

Sorting Hat: Hmm well-

Tom: Not Gryffindor or I will burn you.

Sorting Hat: Yikes! Slytherin it is then!
