Pregnant and desperate, Merope considers pawning her only valuable possession - the priceless family heirloom, Slytherin's locket.

I know, I like to glorify villains. But I can't help it - Voldemort has the best background story! Part of why I like the later Potter books is to get a grasp of his past. I was enraptured by the plight of Merope, and though she wasn't a strong or empowering female, her situation is something many people can relate to, and I think every woman can understand her hopelessness and despair that came of a love that was never meant to be.

oh wow, this is absolutely beauitful! Merope doesn't get enough love in the HP fandom in my opinion. She is the villain's mother, after all!

Did you know the reason Voldemort can't love is because he was conceived under a love potion?
