Could Tom Riddle have once had a Patronus? Lord Voldemort certainly not
but before he became the Dark Lord before he split his soul when he was
just a young boy learning his trade in Hogwarts was it possible then and how
many of you think I'm going to say a snake well I'm sorry to inform you but you're wrong
okay so let's look at when he could have
produced a Patronus it would have definitely been before he split his soul
for a fact otherwise what is the point of a Patronus?
it makes it appear invalid so from first to fourth year will be my guess and we
can't say he's too young because Harry did it in his third year and Tom was
light years ahead of Harry and skill at that age as well. Now the Patronus this
is a wizard's inner animal spirit that comes to them at their time of need
when conjured correctly. Tom Riddle never felt like he needed anyone or anything
he never wanted or asked for help so I can understand why a Patronus never
crossed his mind but if it did and he did want to cast its spell, what happy
memories did he have and what animal would it be? Tom Riddle had no happy
memories from his childhood he didn't it's quite sad but it's very true he had
a happy place though the only place that ever made him feel like he belonged was
Hogwarts. Hogwarts was his home on the thought of having to leave every summer
it's something that he really hated now to cast a Patronus it requires a powerful
happy memory which can be of a person or a place and maybe Tom's memory is up the
day he found out he wasn't alone as a magical person or maybe it's off the
first time he really felt powerful. Anyway I believe his spirit animal is
one of three creatures. The first being a serpent now this will be blatantly
obvious he's a descendant from Salazar Slytherin,
he speaks Parseltongue, he's in Slytherin house, even as Voldemort he takes a
snake-like appearance. This is just too obvious and although it's a possibility
it's just not surprising. Now what about the other two animals or creatures it
could possibly be. Well let me remind you that a Patronus can be any creature
magical or non magical. Now we all know Tom really loved inflicting fear upon
his enemies, in fact he just loved inflicting fear in general. He really
enjoyed it and he embraced it. So could his Patronus be a boggart? this is the
one creature that changes into the thing the person fears the most.
For me this seems quite fitting for a man of Tom's character. A Bogart is still
a creature and it didn't ask to have such a hunting ability so I feel it's
entirely a possibility besides if it's possible to have a Phoenix and a Thestral
as a Patronus then a Bogart certainly falls into that category.
the final creature I believe it could be is to do with the school itself. Now as
I've said Hogwarts is a place that Tom found solace. The name Hogwarts is taken
obviously from a hog which is an animal but very unlikely that would be Tom
Riddle's Patronus. However let's look at the skills motto of Draco Dormien
Nunquam Titilandus. This gives us another clue. It translates to 'Never Tickle
A Sleeping Dragon. Tom Riddle's Patronus could therefore also be a dragon. How
fitting would that be that his one place of comfort was also the stem of his
Patronus. Why does Viserion have to die? damn you night king! damn you! Thank you very
