What if he didn't...
“Nearly everybody expected spectacular things from Tom Riddle, prefect, Head Boy, winner of the Award for Special Services to the School. I know that several teachers, Professor Slughorn amongst them, suggested that he join the Ministry of Magic, offered to set up appointments, put him in touch with useful contacts. He refused all offers.” -Professor Dumbledore, HBP, 431.
But what if he didn’t?
Handful of Dust is an AU game that addresses that very question. Suppose that instead of refusing all of those offers in favour of working for Borgin and Burke in an attempt to get his hands on valuable artifacts that had belonged to the founders, Tom Riddle decided to live up to all those expectations. Suppose that instead of deciding to gain power and Wizarding purity through terror, he chose to do it through a more conventional, respectable means, and set about raising himself as high in both society and the Ministry as he could. Suppose the combination of his contacts, charisma, intelligence and ambition resulted in his eventual election to the position of Minister of Magic in 1970.
Esa es una premisa interesante. Si yo no fuera tan floja como soy, ya habría intentado desarrollar algo así. Al menos no habría contribuido al marysuismo del fandom ni nada parecido ¿eh? Además estoy enamorada de los AU, son mi perdición.
Hum, al final pude ver el 3x09 de Supernatural. Ha sido de los mejores episodios en lo que va de la temporada, todavía sigo pensando en los minutos finales del capítulo. POR DIOS, QUE SE ACABE LA PUTA HUELGA YA T_T KTHNX
