Nico and his older sister Bianca were sent to an orphanage named Wool's Orphanage by their father after their mom died.

Bianca was paired up with three other girls, Victoria, Jane and Mary.

Nico was going to be with a boy.

"Now, Nico. You can always ask to be changed with a different roommate."

She told him as if she was pairing him with the worst man on earth.

"Don't worry miss! I'll tell you and I'm sure we'll be friends!"

He grinned up at the caretaker before walking in the room.

"Thomas. This is Nico. Your new roommate."

She then shut the door.

Nico and Tom looked at one another.

"Tom. Pleased to meet you, Nico."

He smiled at him, a genuine smile that he had never done before.

The boy returned the smile.

"The pleasure is all mine, Tom."

He smiled as he sat on his bed, then looked over at him.

"Why doesn't she like you?" He asked.

Tom looked taken back at this.

"Who doesn't like me?" Tom asked, he knew a lot of people didn't like him.

He wasn't sure who Nico was referring to however.

"Miss Cole. She talks of you like you're a creature of another universe. Why.. I dont think you are. You're nice Tom. You aren't like the rest." He told him simply.

Tom was surprised.

This was one of the first glimmers he had ever had of friendship.

True friendship.

And that was coming from a kid he had just met that day, he barely knew the kid.

"Thank you.. Nico. She doesn't like me because I'm different. Nico, I'm a wizard!" He whispered in a hushed voice.

"Woah. That's so cool!" Nico exclaimed and hugged him.

They talked for a bit before someone walked in.

Martha.

"Nico.. Di Angelo? Miss Cole wants you." She said.

"Um. Okay?" He slid out of bed and walked towards the girl.

She held the door as he turned around to look at Tom.

"I'll be back Tom." He waved his hand.

"I promise."

That was the day Tom swore he would make sure Nico never left him....

Afterall Nico is the first person to be nice to him.....

The day that evil began in this magical wizard world....

June 15, 1942.

Riddle will always remember that day....the day he met his first love...
