Where, When, and Why?

C. 6 1 Year 'round

Scene #1 - Platform 9 & 3/4

The two children arrived very early in the magical train station, there were only two or three others since it was barely dawn but you can't blame them for being a bit eager to leave Wool's. As they sat down on the bench they began to eat.

"What do you think they're like so far?" Tom asked struggling to chew the hard bread "I think it could've been worse, though it probably will be once we get there." Hadrian answered, taking nibbles from the tasteless food.

After a few minutes of staring at the train, eating bland bread the children decided to go inside so they can find a compartment for themselves, soon finding a small compartment in the back of the train.

"Finally, I thought we'd be walking forever." Tom laughs at this "Well it is a magical train, It could go on for miles." Hadrian plops himself down next to Tom, removing his glasses and massaging his eyes "Of course it can."

Tom was aware that they woke a little too early, not to mention they couldn't sleep immediately, so as a good brother he pulled Hadrian's head to his lap. Hadrian sighed in his lap too drained to form any coherent words 'A little nap wouldn't hurt' his last thought as he drifted of to sleep.

Tom unconsciously started to play with the smaller boy's hair, looking out the window while more and more individuals pour into the station, they were down back the train so no one should be opening that door, right?

Well turns out even that was out of the question, since a few minutes later a boy entered the compartment, breaking the little bubble the two were in, "Hi there! My name's Orion Black sorry for crashing in." Tom glared at Orion and the other boy shivered "Be quiet."

Another boy came in shouting "Orion I told you to slow down! Why do you always hurry everywhere!" Riddle could feel his temper rising fast, Orion could feel it as well so he whispered "Lestrange, lower your voice someone else is here to!" Lestrange turned to Tom "Oh. Didn't notice you there, The name's Frederick, Frederick Lestrange." holding his hand out

"Keep quiet before I shut your mouth myself." Glaring daggers at Lestrange and Black, It was their fault though, both of the boys could feel Riddle's magic trying to choke them but before it could finish them off Tom noticed the shifting body on his lap.

Everyone stilled as Riddle shushed Hadrian back to sleep, he glanced at the two of them sighing "My name is Tom Marvolo Riddle. The one sleeping would be Hadrian Peverell, so it would be appreciated if you are to not scream like banshees." still playing with the sleeping boy's locks.

Both said simultaneously "Sorry." Tom breathed out "Well that's all done now. Just be more aware next time." Both boys nodded eagerly.

Another boy with hair that looked too waxed opened the door gently "I do apologize for whatever they've done, My name is Abraxas Malfoy. May I know who you are?" Riddle just nodded his head in acknowledgement "I'm Tom Marvolo Riddle you can just call me Riddle, the one on my lap is Hadrian Peverell just call him Peverell"

"Oh so your just some filthy mudbloods then, how pathetic. No wonder you didn't know who I am. I'm sure I can both show you mercy and-" Riddle's eyes were now filled with cold as the whole compartment began to fill with murderous magic, Lestrange and Black gulped
