So, first question: is the “Lord Gaunt” on the Wizengamot the grandfather, or Tom Riddle/Voldemort himself, taking his ancestor’s name?

The latter. He literally "den[ied] [his] father and refuse[d] [his] name", to quote Shakespeare.

And second, gosh. Assuming the situation with Morfin is the same as in canon, that would mean Riddle is the one who killed his father . . . but does that mean he also killed Myrtle? When they were such good friends in that earlier memory?

:3c

That’s hard for me to wrap my head around. Was he just faking the friendship?

>:3c

But then, why act so antagonistically towards Abraxus?

Some people, when given an opportunity to become the bully, seize it with two hands. Just look at the TERF-who-shall-not-be-named!

Of course Hagrid isn't guilty. We'll see more about this in future chapters! Thanks for reading!
