What you are looking at are memories. In this case, pertaining to one individual, Voldemort... ...or, as he was known then, Tom Riddle. This vial contains the most particular memory... ...of the day I first met him. I'd like you to see it, if you would. I admit some confusion upon receiving your letter, Mr. Dumbledore. Wool's orphan In all the years Tom's been here, he's never once had a family visitor. There have been incidents with the other children. Nasty things. Tom, you have a visitor. How do you do, Tom? Don't. - You're the doctor, aren't you? - No. I am a professor. I don't believe you. She wants me looked at. They think I'm different. Well, perhaps they're right. I'm not mad. Hogwarts is not a place for mad people. Hogwarts is a school. A school of magic. You can do things, can't you, Tom?

Thanks. All right. Um... Just because you made the team last year... ...does not guarantee you a spot this year. Is that clear? Good.

You knew him, didn't you, sir, Tom Riddle? You were his teacher. Mr. Riddle had a number of teachers whilst here at Hogwarts. What was he like? I'm sorry, sir. Forgive me. He killed my parents. Of course. It's only natural you should want to know more. But I'm afraid I must disappoint you, Harry. When I first met Mr. Riddle, he was a quiet... ...albeit brilliant, boy committed to becoming a first-rate wizard. Not unlike others I've known. Not unlike yourself, in fact. If the monster existed... ...it was buried deep within.

- If it is not... - I think I'll be going. Nonsense. You have nothing to fear, dear boy. As to some of your classmates... ...well, let's just say they're unlikely to make the shelf. The shelf, sir?

Anyone who aspires to be anyone hopes to end up here. But then again, you already are someone, aren't you, Harry? Did Voldemort ever make the shelf, sir?

"Unbreakable Vow. " You're sure that's what Snape said? Positive. Why? Well, it's just you can't break an Unbreakable Vow. I'd worked that much out for myself, funnily enough.
