"Tom Tom"



Martha in the orphanage opened the wooden door.

She looked helplessly at the boy sitting by the window sill.

"Tom, why don't you reply to my words?"

"Sorry, Martha, I'm fascinated by the scenery outside."

When the boy heard this, he did not look back.

He was still looking out the window, and it seemed that the scenery outside was even more attractive.

Beside him, under the window, were seven different stones.

Martha looked at him helplessly, although she had long known that he had such a personality.

But I still feel helpless

"Okay, Tom, we'll go out for dinner later."

"Mrs. Cole has other children waiting for you."

"Okay, Martha."

The boy called Tom was still looking out the window, with a calm expression on his face.

Martha shook her head, reluctantly closed the door and left.

The child, called Tom, turned around after Martha left.

There is some doubt in the eyes

"who I am"

"Am I Tom Riddle or Lothar Kelley?"

"Or is it"

The boy had a headache on his face, just now when Martha called him Tom.

His heart was repulsive, but then he felt normal again, as if this name was the right one, as if his name was really Tom.

"Forget it, I'll just call you Tom."

Tom thought in his mind, he stood up and headed downstairs, where there were still people waiting for him.

Mrs. Cole doesn't like disobedient children.

"Tom, what are you doing?"

"Mrs. Cole, I was just talking to it."

"Tell me who you're talking to, it's a snake"

"Yes, as you can see, I'm talking to a snake."

Tom's eyes were blurred, and he slowly stretched out his hand and touched a delicate snake in front of him.

The snake held its head high and spat out a message, as if looking at Tom.

"No, Tom"

But at this moment Mrs. Cole came up and slapped Tom's hand away, and drew him aside.

"Don't talk nonsense, Tom."

"How can snakes talk and how can they talk to us?"

Mrs. Cole looked frightened. She held Tom's hand with a reproachful look in her eyes.

"Children who talk nonsense are not lovable."

Tom looked into her eyes thoughtfully.

"But I was actually talking to it just now."

Mrs. Cole looked at Tom with dull eyes, and her heart clicked.

A cold feeling ran down her back, she felt a little palpitated, and she felt a little scared.

This made her yell involuntarily.

"Stop talking nonsense, your dinner will be halved tonight"

After saying that, she waved her hand and left.

Tom stood there with a calm expression.

Mrs. Cole's performance just now made him a little angry, but then he felt that this was normal.

People are unwilling to believe in those mysterious and unknown things.

Only, personal experience

Tom thoughtfully

"Hey, what are you doing freak?"

"Freak"

"It's you I'm talking about. I heard you can talk to snakes. Isn't that a freak?"

"I see"

"Beat him, beat this freak. Anyway, Mrs. Cole doesn't like him either."

Tom got up from the ground. His nose was bleeding and the corners of his eyes were black.

This was beaten

He raised his head and looked at the people surrounding him.

The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, with a hint of a smile, but his eyes were calm, with a hint of coldness.

"I have a place where you can learn how to talk to snakes just like me."

"Really, as long as you are willing to come with me."

The boys looked hesitant and seemed moved by what Tom said.

They also want to talk to snakes like Tom. That's interesting, isn't it?

Tom's smile grew wider and looked genuine.

He didn't take the beating from them seriously at all.

Then Tom took them into the cave where he often went.

If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price, right?

"Tom, what did you do to them?"

"What Mrs. Cole?"

"Don't pretend you don't know. They went out with you today. Why did they have such scared expressions when they came back?"

"Maybe it was too dark inside the cave and they might have thought some of the rocks were monsters."

Tom Riddle lowered his head slightly with a smile on his face, which looked very sunny with his handsome face.

But Mrs. Cole thought Tom's smile was full of gloom.

With a hint of ferocity

She involuntarily took a step back and covered her mouth with one hand.

It seemed that his movements were too big, which brought him a bit of embarrassment.

Mrs. Cole pretended to be calm and looked at Tom with complicated eyes.

"I hope they won't see any stone monster next time."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Cole, they won't see any stone monsters again."

Tom said softly, his eyes dull.

"Mr. Dumbledore, this is the child you are looking for."

"His name is Tom, Tom Marvolo Riddle"

Mrs. Cole introduced to a tall figure beside her.

Tom sat on the windowsill and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Dumbledore listened quietly to Mrs. Cole's introduction, looking at Tom with a pair of blue eyes.

Look at this kid who was said something weird by Mrs. Cole

Tom was quiet and didn't turn to look at either of them.

It was as if he had not heard what Mrs. Cole said.

But Dumbledore was sure that the child must have heard their conversation.

Just indifferent, as if he was used to it.

I am used to being called weird, strange and similar things by others.

He asked Mrs. Cole to leave, and walked forward alone to the bedside.

After Mrs. Cole left, Tom turned his head and looked at the tall figure.

It was obviously the first time they met, but Tom felt familiar with him.

"dumbledore"

Suddenly, a voice appeared in his mind.

"My name is Albus Dumbledore. I am a professor at a school. I came to see you this time because you are also on the school's recruitment list. So, what is your name?"

"My name is Tom Riddle"

Although he felt very familiar with the person in front of him, Tom's eyes were still dull.

It seemed that nothing in the world would cause him to have any emotional fluctuations.

"Actually, we are the same kind of people."

Seeing that Tom only said his name, Dumbledore continued.

A flame appeared outside the closet on the other side.

Show the unusualness of the person in front of you

It was obviously a shocking scene, but Tom's heart still didn't waver.

He felt that this was very familiar

It's like, he can do it all.

But how is this possible?

Tom looked at the wardrobe that looked like it was on fire and asked with a faint look in his eyes.

"What's the name of the school?"

"Hogwarts"
