Interesting, I must admit. I wonder if Riddle made the Dark Mark during his school days or maybe later. I had a feeling that he wasn't the Voldemort persona until he murdered that lady who had his mother's necklace.

I think that you really succeded with this one and it's unfair that people are so lazy to not give you any reviews on it. Your style of writing is relly good and I can see a chain reaction caused by Tom's invention.

Fantastic one-shot! That's a very interesting idea about how the dark mark came to be.
