Though she'd had little magic inside her for some time, during intense contractions, Merope would send the Muggle midwife flying across the room with a thought. After the third time this happened, the nurses kept their distance, allowing Merope to pace the room weakly, groaning as she clutched the walls for support.

They thought her quite like a wild animal; when she crouched low and pulled the baby from her body, they gasped. Her eyes alight one final time, she whispered, "He looks just like his father; his name's Tom Riddle."

She fell backwards, the babe clutched to her breast.
