Wow, saif and Belledeg both reviewed this, interesting...
I'm sorry but this is going to be my first ever not very nice review.
First of all, how does Harrys ghost get tied to Hogwarts, it would be completely out of character for him to leave an imprint of himself behind, i'm sure he would have gone on.
And as for Dumbledore wanting Tom to win [Belledeg caused me to like Tom] i can easily see it happening but when you read the books, Dumbledore really tries hard for Harry to win, s why would he do all that for noting?
And the pensieve memory, Tom Marvolo Riddle would never have let anyone bully him, and as for height, Tom could have been smaller than the whole school, but do you really think he would let anyone see his size, he would act bigger and therefore, be bigger.
And he can speak parseltounge, noone would mess with him if they knew that.

Author's Response: Great review! No, really, everyone can use constructive critism. Of course, this is AU, but I definitely see your point about Tom not letting himself get bullied around. Thanks for reading! XD

OK, so in this universe Tom gets to discover victory isn't everything it's cracked up to be... It's off to a good start; my only complaint is that it was listed as a completed story. So, are you going to take it further? I hope so!

Author's Response: It was originally intended to leave it up to the reader's imagination. However, if I feel inspired, I might convert it into a chaptered fic (and if the lovely mods allow me!). I'm glad you liked it and want to find out more. At the moment, though, I'm letting it remain as a one-shot.
