Dumbledore: …and that, Tom Riddle, is why I am enrolling you in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

Tom: I can speak to snakes, too. They find me, whisper things.
Dumbledore: Well, that’s all very good and well but I really must be off. Ta ta.
-Charlotte

Dumbledore: *Thinking* Oh, crap! I just remembered – he’s going to think I’m the doctor! And then I’ll have to tell him that I’m NOT the doctor, and that I AM a wizard. UGH! Then he’s going to ask me to prove it… DARN him! Freaking kid! *sigh*
Tom Riddle: You’re the doctor, aren’t you?
Dumbledore: …
-The Annoyed

Tom: …And I can speak to skunks.
Dumbledore: You can speak to skunks?
Tom: Yes, I can make them do my bidding.
Harry: *Watching the memory* Did you know, sir, then?
Dumbledore: Did I know he’d be the worst skunk breeder ever? That he’d raise his own skunk army and terrorize all skunk-haters? No.

-Tragicourt

Tom: I can talk to snakes, too. They find me and talk to me.
