Tom Riddle - A complete soul

chapter three- filthy wizard

'Tom Marvolo Riddle' named after the father who left his mother and the father who disowned his mother Merope Gaunt upon finding out she had married a muggle... then his mother left too... that's how Tom's always seen it. She was weak and couldn't care for him, leaving him to rot in this dingy orphanage.

The children had been taken out for the day, no where special just a field on the outskirts of London but to the children it was the closest to a vacation they'd be getting any time soon. Tom was sat alone as he usually was, it's not that he particularly enjoyed his own company it was more the fact he wasn't very good in the area of socializing... he was often met with strange looks from the other children though they had their reasons to avoid tom... they see him doing things, one child swears he saw Tom make a pencil float above his hand once.

On this particular day however some of the children had gotten tired of chase in the fields and so decided they'd make their own entertainment... at the expense of Tom. one of them took his book that he had been sat reading handing it to the other child who had ran off into the distance with it, as Tom tried to give chase the first child tripped him causing him to face plant the ground... laying there in the long grass tom whispered,

"help, protect me"

but the sound the others heard we're not English words for sure, more like a hissing sound... then it struck, a small grass snake that must have been hidden in the grass besides the incident suddenly reared up lunging towards the child who had just tripped Tom, with one bite the child was laying there in frozen shock and pain... 

"Mrs Cole! charlies been bitten!" shouted an onlooking child

with that all the children had gathered around the scene... including the child who on the other occasion saw the floating pencil.

"he made the snake attack me! he spoke to it!" screamed charlie still holding his arm in pain,

"and i saw him making a pencil float!" shouted the boy from the crowd.

"is he some kind of wizard?!" a random girl from the crowd piped up..

with that all the children started chanting 'filthy wizard! filthy wizard' over and over, louder and louder... Tom just hung his head... he had no response and the anger building up inside him was causing him to shake... fist's clenched..

"ENOUGH!" screamed Mrs Cole tending to charlies wound

with that everyone was marched back to wool's orphanage and Tom sent to his room... still missing his book that the child hadn't returned to him, still shaking with anger... on the way to his room tom noticed the kids harmonica laying on the table in the community room, he decided he'd get revenge and so took it and hurried back to his room...
