Chapter 1
Harry potter was cleaning the kitchen slowly, his 7-year-old small and frail body couldn't reach some spots making his aunt petunia angry, he had to clean everything nicely or else he wouldn't have food for the whole day. it is indeed cruel but had no choice. But then dudley suddenly arrived, he opened the tv and watched some cartoons, " Yo freak, go get me some soda will you" said his cousin, his focus still on the tv, " But aunt petunia said you couldn't have some" said harry looking down to his shoes, this anger the begger boy of course, he punched the face of harry " what do you mean i can't have any" said dudley, and pulled his hair and hit harry's hair to the floor emitting a loud thud and a crack that only he could hear. " follow me in the future or else, you will experience worse than that" said dudley, it seems like the son of vernon gained his bad attitude.
Aunt petunia came rushing when she heard noises from downstairs to see harry potter's head bleeding. she just looks at the boy with disgust, " i can't let people see you like this" said petunia towards harry , she took a dirty washcloth and handed it to him, so he could clean himself up. He went to the bathroom and stood in front of a mirror in which he couldn't see himself, so he took the nearby stool and stood on top of it, and cleaned his head, it's on his head near his scar like thunder. "you don't deserve that" said the voice in his head, " Who's there?!" exclaimed harry, he looks around t find where the voice was coming from " i am inside your hair harry potter" said the voice, this confused him even more " you are much greater than them mudbloods, they are nothing but weak creatures who hate on something they can't fathom" the voice continued, he could understand what the voice was saying, but not what it meant. then the voice stops, " you still there?" he asked but no one replied, he went back outside and hid in his room just under the stairs.
he pushed the washcloth on his head to prevent the blood from seeping out, then he fell asleep.
a boy no older than ten probably just the same age as him, was sitting inside a cold dimly lit room, the cold temperature outside seeping inside, " I'm cold... i should probably ask madame cole for some blanket... the young boy walks slowly on the dark hallways, he could hear the children snickering just down the stairs, they are probably plotting something against him, he walks shyly to the matron and tehmatron just looks at him with anger, the orphanage is after all a bit worn down, with war that is happening funding is a bit tight " no can do boy, we are tight on cash right now" said the matron calming herself down, the other kids were testing her after all.
" pst here comes riddle" the children snicker and ran away. Among his peers the children were making fun of him, they are also afraid of him, he knows it. after all he could do things others can't " a freak, a freak" said the fat ugly boy pointing his fingers towards riddle, but he couldn't careless, he just made his way to his room and cover the holes with same paper from his favorite books, how sad, but he got no choice.
then one day tom riddle met a snake, it was a green colorful snake, " hello" said the boy " a speaker" replied the snake " woah, i could understand you" a surprise expression was evident on his face. " I am Tom Marvolo Riddle.. and you are??" said tom to the snake
Harry awoke with a start, what was that indeed, he knows for a fact that it's not him. but someone else, that could speak to snakes. that's just amazing. the birds were chirping he could hear them even though he was inside of his cupboard, it's probably morning already " hmm Tom marvolo riddle" he said the name of the one that he had seen on his dreams. it's quite a joy. it's like he was watching a movie. he peeked outside and see the dursleys already eating breakfast for the first-time he is not the one that had to cook.
Vernon just glanced at him and went back to eating while reading the daily newspaper. How he wish to eat.. 'i should be thankful, they I've me a place to sleep on, and some food to eat' he thought to himself.. then he thought of the boy on his dreams, he is also being bullied by the children on the place where he lives, he wonders if something similar is being done to him... can he talk to snakes too, that would be great..
he went outside of his room and went to the table where they eat, petunia just threw some bread to the floor which made the boy happy, they are giving him bread which is new.. he hope that things change, he is after all just a child, a bit naive. he wish he could see the boy from the dream again, he wonders what's happening. it's just an excuse from the fact that he wants to escape his reality.
" Go away, what you looking at" said Dudley with his smug punchable face he walked to the kitchen and sat on the floor to eat his piece of loaf, it seemed that the bleeding on his head had stopped but there was dried blood still in it. He ought to take a bath later or Aunt Petunia will get angry, no one could see me looking like this. " We are going to the male, you better keep this house clean" finally some alone time, this is the time that he loves the most, being alone and no one hitting him. " got it Aunty" said Harry Potter with a smile. they went to their car and drove off, leaving their leftovers on the table. he ate all of it of course, it would be a waste if he didn't eat all of it. then afterward he cleaned them on the sink, took a bath and went outside, he sat beside the tree that is planted just beside their house to read his favorite book. he could read after all he goes to school. then all of a sudden a snake slithered it's way to his legs, it kinda scared him " a snake"
unknowingly he spoke to the snake, because for him he is speaking regular English. " a speaker?!" said the snake, it turned it's head towards him and slithered to his arms " What do you mean by that" he said towards the snake " it's an extreme rarity for someone to be able to speak to snake, there was a rumoured speaker all around the snakes community, and you , my boy, is of rarity" said the snake, then harry thought about the boy on his dreams, the one named tom riddle, from what he knows that boy could do magic like in the picture books, is he the same.. " you are my friend now, i had never ever had a friend before" said harry with a sullen expression on his face. the snake replied with a simple ok and they bid their farewells, then he went back inside of his so-called "home".
