Tommy, we had this talk before.

And your attention returns to me?

Interesting, but not altogether surprising.

Excuse me?

I'm just saying, while the snake-face is the obvious choice, there's something to be said for looking normal but having something not quite right about you that most people can't quite put their finger on. Y'know, unless they know you're a complete sociopath.

[i_am_lord_voldemort]

I have never thought of myself in those terms. It's strange for someone I have never met to feel so strongly about me.

[dickandharry]

You killed my biological parents when I was one and then tried to kill me. Then you tried to kill me when I was 11. Then your stupid diary tried to kill me when I was twelve. Didn't try anything third year, but I'm willing to bet you're involved in whatever's happening this year. Haven't figured out exactly WHY you'd want me entered in the Triwizard tournament this year, but whatever it is probably involves trying to kill me at some point.

[i_am_lord_voldemort]

I haven't the slightest clue what you are talking about. [Barely contained disdain.] Perhaps you have me mistaken for someone else?

[dickandharry]

Are you or ore you not Tom Marvolo Riddle, aka Lord Voldemort?

[i_am_lord_voldemort]

My name is Tom Riddle. [A stranger shouldn't know that second name. Not yet, at least.] There are a very select few who know me by that second name. How is it that you know of it?

[His wand is suddenly in view.]

[dickandharry]

Well, you spent decades telling everyone and their grandmother that was your name. In fact, it was the name I first heard. I didn't find out your real name was Tom until 2nd year. Anagrammed it out fairly early, but got it confirmed later. Your diary was kind of a blabbermouth.

[i_am_lord_voldemort]

... [Tom processes all of that rather quickly and he manages to keep his expression...blank. But it's a struggle.]

I see. So you are from...my future. [There are possibilities here. Many of them.] What is your name?

[dickandharry]

Dick Grayson. And I can see the gears whirring in your head about how to take advantage of anything I've told you. You can't. What happens in Dear Mun stays in Dear Mun.

[i_am_lord_voldemort]

I don't recognize your surname. [Which is problematic.] There are other ways I could come upon the news. It is nice to know that so many avenues are open for me.
