Harry Potter and Professor Riddle

Harry, beloved by everyone, has one person who hates him and secretly resents him: Professor Riddle.

Professor Riddle has never seen anyone so blessed by fate. Harry Potter has not only been born into a far better family than Tom ever had, but his magical talent surpasses Tom’s, too!

The only reason Professor Riddle has the upper hand is that he was born fifty years before Harry. Respected by everyone, he quietly observes his extraordinarily handsome student, Harry Potter, occasionally letting a little kindness slip through his fingers to earn the admiration of his excellent student.

Harry gradually forms a Slytherin clique, while also earning the affection of a group of older Gryffindors.

Harry has no idea that the seemingly outstanding professor already hates him and is secretly plotting to steal his spotlight.

The trouble is, this young descendant of the Potter family has none of the chuunibyou urge to restore Slytherin to glory! Harry just wants to study, explore Hogwarts, learn new things, and make friends. Perhaps he might even befriend the Professor Riddle who has always held a grudge against him...
