[Harry Potter] Even Voldemort Has Parents Who Have His Back

[Two male leads + Founders' Era + OOC + everyday life in the early chapters]

Following Merlin's instructions (Merlin insists this has nothing to do with him), Seryl adopted a child: Tom Riddle.

He raised the little tyke from diapers to adulthood, doing everything for him. (The tyke: Heh.)

Seryl had once lost his memories, and after living for many years, he realized he seemed to be getting younger and younger. This reverse aging only began after he adopted Tom.

When Tom turned 11, two owls showed up.

By then, Seryl had reverse-aged until he was the same age as Tom, and he received an acceptance letter too. Would they both be sorted into the same house?

Would this reverse aging ever stop?

The blurb isn't very good, so please just read the story.

As you know, this is a free story, so please don't be too harsh.

I'm a little sensitive, but I love discussing things with everyone and enjoy a lively comment section, so please leave lots of comments. If anyone insults me, I'll block them immediately.

If you really don't like it, you can simply not read it. I'm not forcing you. If you read it even though you don't like it, it can only mean sei scemo.

There will definitely be some OOC, since the characters are growing up differently.

I don't have an outline. I write as I go and make things up along the way, so all sorts of strange situations might suddenly pop up.

I haven't decided on the ending at all. I'll see where the story goes. (It could be BE or HE.)

If you have a favorite pairing, feel free to tell me. I can probably try to include them all.

I actually set out to write an angsty story. I've tried many times, but it seems I haven't really succeeded...

Theme: Let Tom have a parent in his corner and someone to protect him
