In the slums of East London, two children faced the struggle of survival in an orphanage during the Great Depression. Only their unexplainable abilities could keep them from disease and death.
When a strange young man came knocking at Wool's Orphanage in 1936, offering the young girl a place at Durmstrang Institute of Magic, Tom and Gisela's questions were answered.
They had survived the Depression together, but faced with the challenge of separation and a continent at war between them, will the magical orphans make it out alive? Or will the Second World War and Grindelwald's reign of terror rip them apart?
OR
A historically accurate and psychologically realistic take on Tom Riddle's childhood, and the impact the presence of an older magical friend would have on his character.

When We Were Young
The adults of Wool's Orphanage were completely wrapped around Harrison Peverell's fingers. They cherished him, dotted on him, gave him extra of everything, even when the Orphanage already had so little. What they didn't know was that Harrison Peverell wasn't just a boy. He was a boy that got memories of his past life, everyday, through his dreams. Harrison Peverell was the Master of Death, only, he doesn't know until the day he remembers that he is, which is about 17 years into his second life. Death is patient with almost everything, but he desperately wants to meet his Master, face to face. So, turn that 17 years into 5 years. ¤¤¤¤¤ Tom Riddle, two years older than Harrison Peverell, was hated and feared at Wool's Orphanage. The only person that didn't hate or fear him was Harrison, who insisted on being called Harry. Tom didn't know what drew him to Harry, he didn't know why he was so fascinated by the way his jewel like eyes shined with a sharp cunning that no 5-year-old should have, so he avoided Harrison. He did this for a year, but Harry refused to be ignored. At age six, Harrison Peverell got the future Dark Lord wrapped tightly around his finger with a simple sentence. "If you are what is considered to be a freak, than I would rather be with you than be normal and accepted." ¤¤¤¤¤ This is a Tomarry Fanfic. It features boyxboy. Don't like, Don't read.

"Then this is my question to you, Death." Her throat felt tight, each word scraping against old wounds as she went on. "Would life be any less painful? Any less cruel? Would I still wake to the hunger that gnaws at the ribs, to the cold that seeps into the bones? Would I still be the child left begging for warmth that never came?" Her voice faltered, trembling as she blinked away tears that refused to fall. "Would I finally have the childhood that was stolen from me?" ⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡⋆ Female Harry Potter x Tom Riddle

(An alternative universe where Harry was born in the 1920s and went in school with Tom Riddle. He is still the Chosen One from a prophesy with Grindelwald.) "Harry." "Tom. What the hell do you want now?" "To talk." "I have nothing to talk about with you." "Oh, I think you do, hero. I think you do." (In this story I have put Aidan Gallagher as Tom. Yes, I know he is from TUA, but I wanted a young actor to match with Daniel Ratcliffe, who in my story is sixteen. Or you can think of whoever actor you please, I don't mind. You do you.)
