Nice.

The name is Gellert, though.

I'll admit I always pitied Child Tom. It's kind of hard not too, when you think about it.

hmm it shows that everone has their faults and no matter what we should show acceptance and pitty those who are broken and deluded as to lower themselfs to violence and other such recreations because every action is like a drop of water into a never-ending cosmos of an ocean so vast and unfathomable but to all our attempts to do what is right perspective is in the eyes of the beholder and one day in the never seeable future the rain storm of actions will finaly come to a stand still if only for a second and there will be peace if only for a little while and when its over we will start again and it will give us hope to continue with what must be done but until then we have to try and do what we can to be all we can and help those in need

I got goosebumps

And then I grinned, and then it bubbled up inside me until there were tears in my eyes.

I tend to over empathise and alot of J.K Rowling's choices with characters have left me dissatisfied.

The choice you had Harry make here, it was something that he should have made in the book and for someone as compassionate as him, I think he would have made it.

Tom was never going to be an all feeling all understanding saint but the moment you had Dumbledore take him it felt like..gloves being put on or puzzle pieces being slipped into their places.

=] Thanks

Another wonderful piece full of philosophical insight and moral meaning. It cerrtainly does pick up some loose threads that JKR seems to have forgotten about.
Well done, even if there is the occasional typo. And it's FEAR OF something, not FOR.

Wow, that was much better than what was really said in the station. Things that needed to be said were said and I loved the ending!

Interesting idea for a story. I liked it, it was well-written, and enjoyable to read.

I don't like Harry's Stockholm syndrome nor the silly idea that any time should be wasted trying to redeem Riddle.

WOW! You're back! Where have you been all this time?! :D:D:D:D:D

You never stop to amaze me with your stories.

I LIKE Harry's solution here. There IS one thing dead Dumbles can do!

If you are in school, you should be getting all-A's.

One question. You, like me, love Odo. Why don't you have any Last Unicorn stories?

You have correctly used the tricky omission of the second quote mark at the end of paragraphs when the same person continues speaking for more than one. It's minor, but I admire correct usage.

A few errors. Sentences should never start with "And". That's a mistake I have to watch for myself. One glaring grammar error, "Me and Tom has wandered", which should be "Tom and I have wandered".

Interesting. Keep writing

Interesting idea and thanks for writing.

That's GOOD! I felt sorry for Tom at this scene... I know he deserved what he got... but I still felt sorry... And while I can't blame Dumbledore for what Tom became (as we allways see what would have been better to d in hindsight, but can't know it before!) ... I thought he should not let the screaming chiuld-thing lay there... I am not sure what can be done for such a small part of a soul... But who knows? It touched Harry's sould for years and maybe it learned some things without realizing...
