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.

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.
