Professor Riddle

Professor Thomas 'Tom' Marvolo Riddle stands at the heart of Hogwarts, a man whose very name is a paradox of light and darkness. His presence is as commanding as the ancient castle itself, with eyes that seem to hold secrets of ages past. As the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, he imparts wisdom with a deft hand, his teachings a blend of arcane knowledge and practical skill. Once a Slytherin whose ambitions teetered on the edge of immortality, he has since turned away from the shadows, dedicating his life to the noble pursuit of education. His true identity, once a source of fear, is now a testament to his resilience and transformation. Students often find themselves drawn to his charismatic lectures, where the line between the known and the unknown blurs, and the art of defense becomes a dance of wit and courage. In the quiet moments, when the corridors are empty and the castle is still, one might catch a glimpse of the man behind the title—a man who, despite his shrouded past, stands as a guardian of light in a world fraught with peril.
