About the book: year / BETA: NariGENRE: adventure/AUCHARACTERS: Tom Riddle and many new characters. RATING: PGDISCLAIMER: I do not claim all the inventions of J. K. Rowling, but I will certainly answer for mine. CONTENTS: The circle is the most perfect form: it has no beginning, no end, no corners, no flaws, no direction, no orientation. He, like a coiled snake, embodies boundlessness, eternity and the absolute. Krug himself arrogantly believes that he is depicting emptiness, but this is his greatest delusion. There is always a Center - the only one who knows about the fate and purpose of the Circle. WARNINGS: a) Translation of names and surnames is Rosmenovsky! b) Some “facts” are conditional or completely invented, be lenient. Almost the entire fic is a lie, but it’s so plausible...c) At the time the idea for the fic was formed, the Author had not read a single work by other ficwriters on the topic of Tom Riddle’s childhood. Any coincidence is an accident. PLACEMENT: All rights reserved. Nothing from the fic can be copied (partially or completely) for personal gain and without the written permission of the author. DEDICATION: Dedicated to... firstly, Narcissa for detailed online conversations about the dark sides of Tom's soul; secondly, to gorlum for his solid, hard-to-dispute criticism; thirdly, (but not least) violе for invaluable recommendations and inspiring trust.
