#sorry im rambling but i genuinely dont understand why voldemort/tom is always the one grovelling 😭😭😭

[cubeapples]

if tom riddle wasn't lord voldemort and just some rando student 3 years above harry at hogwarts... harry would be SO down bad it would genuinely be EMBARRASSING.

like... you cannot tell me that harry james potter, who still describes tom as handsome after learning that he eventually becomes the man who killed his parents, wouldn't try so hard to get tom's attention.

and harry'd be so taken with the way tom is so nice to everyone all the time...*cough* cedric *cough* and he'd be obsessed with the way tom is so smart (smarter than hermione) minus the nagging and self-righteousness, which just makes tom even more likeable.

harry would be so satisfied when tom seems to dislike draco, too. but he'd be jealous of the attention tom seems to give the blacks and lestranges.*

and even though harry can't speak to snakes he'd be smitten with the way tom does. LIKEEE

if anyone is grovelling and pining in tomarry, it's harry, who is just horrendously down bad, like you are not convincing anyone otherwise.

*: assuming in a world without voldemort, rodolphus, regulus and sirius have children
