Well, I never did get the Elixer of Life. And I was so close... But that Harry Potter got in the way, and useless Quirrell couldn't kill him... I will get Potter, just like I did his parents!
And I couldn't kill Potter in the Chamber of Secrets! That meddlesome Headmaster was too quick to get back. I would've killed him, but no, Dumbledore had to turn around and ruin everything!
And then, last time, that weakling Pettigrew gave himself away... Silly, dim-witted boy, always was... Giving into Sirius Black! It's lucky for Pettigrew that Black took the blame, or Pettigrew would never have survived Azkaban...
Ahhh, well, enough of my remorse and regret. If only someone would finish my evil deeds... Many are willing, hungry for some of my power, but few are strong enough to bear the burden of responsibility... Someday, mark my words, someday, I will be back, and no one will dare challenge me!
All the teachers thought I was wonderful; I aced all my tests, I was Prefect and Head Boy... But all that would change. Change for the better, yet the worse. Soon I will be back! Yes, soon! Ha ha ha! Aha ha ha ha!
