Chapter 2
Tom Riddle stood there in the corner of the hallway, just hidden enough for anyone not to notice his presence, after learning of his powers, he used them as much as possible to inflict pain on others who dared hurt him, and Billy stubs were one of them, using his magic tom riddle made a knife fly in the air, without anyone noticing it hit the legs of billy stubs. He screamed in pain and the others joined in unison, they ran to where Ms. Cole was to inform her about the mishappenings that had just occurred
"It's that freak Riddle who did this" They blamed him again without even a shred of proof. " But Ms. Cole I was just reading my book, see?" said Tom with his sweetest smile. this made the matron believe in his words. there is no proof too that could indicate that he is the one who actually did it. " Now now boys, don't blame an innocent child " said the matron, carrying the boy to the infirmary of the orphanage, it may look worn down and has molds at least it's still useable, but fighting planes roared in the sky, a neighboring country is currently at war, they might be even next. The other kids look at Tom with fear and disdain on their faces. tom stood up and closed the book in his hands. and went back to his room, he had acquired this room by scaring the other kids.
A few days after that, items seem just to vanish or suddenly go missing, like Anne Boyen's rabbit stuffed animal, the small watch of the matron, and many many more, they all blame Tom for everything, it all started when he was just three years old, tom wasn't doing anything wrong but the children seem to blame him for everything, snickering, and laughing when things go their way. Tom is just Retaliating, taking revenge, they took things from him so he is just taking their things in return, he can do things that others can not, and since then he thought of himself as special, unlike these weak people.
Harry was awoken by the sudden shaking of the stairs, Dudley was jumping on the stairs, provoking him in the process, " Wake up freak,m wake up freak" said Dudley while laughing hysterically, the dust from the stairs flying right through his face, making harry sneeze in the process, it was rather noisy outside of the cupboard.
you don't deserve that - said the voice, it was soothing, he just wanted to sleep, he just wanted some peace, why won't they leave him alone, dark thoughts plagued Harry's mind, he wanted to hurt them, the same way that tom riddle from his dreams hurt the kids that hurt him. but he controlled himself.
Tom had already helped him with numerous things like opening the lock on his cupboard and locking them, making things float with just his command, but it did require precision and control which made Tom Riddle smile inside Harry's head, this boy was indeed powerful, probably much more powerful than him, and talking to snakes, they are just the same, being abused, orphaned, and Oppressed,
'thank you for teaching me this Tom... I'm really glad to have you as a friend he said not vocally but in his mind 'No need to thank me, Harry, I'm just doing what I can'
'So Tom? Are you strong, you seem to be a powerful wizard' asked Harry in which Riddle replied ' I'm much more than that, I am the most powerful wizard out there, and I'm gonna teach you how to become one said tom, which made harry smile. 'they deserved to be hurt harry, your oppressors, bad guys are bad guys, nothing will change them, are you just gonna let them hurt you, Provoke you, and turn your pride upside down?" said tom in a convincing manner, harry thought about it, he had never experienced good thing in his life just like what tom had experienced
'but isn't that bad' said Harry fiddling with his fingers ' No, Harry, it isn't, you are just after all protecting yourself ' emphasizing the protecting part. ' Tom... I don't want to go to school, the people there are mean, and they hurt me, Dudley told the whole school that I am a freak,' said Harry with a sullen expression plastered on his face.
'how about I teach you something that I learned while in Hogwarts' said Tom, and Harry just nodded his head, tom told him to go outside at midnight, and they are gonna go find some animals to practice with. "the most basic curse that I would be teaching you is Crucio," harry nodded, they found a small dog just sitting outside of a nearby house "imagine what all they did to you, the pain that you had endured" said tom, harry stared at the dog and said " Crucio" in a tiny voice, so that he won't bother anyone " you had to mean it dear" said tom, Harry repeated what he said and the dog whined in pain.
"good job Harry, that is what you are gonna use on those that hurt you" Oddly enough Harry didn't feel anything he felt this power that he had never experienced before, this made Harry smile really wildly ' Tom is it weird that it felt good' said harry and smiled, this made tom feel enthusiastic. How odd, it seems like Harry is stronger than he thought. wandless magic after all requires some strong magic.
harry ran to his house and tiptoed upon arriving, the neighbor's dog whom he hurt, the owner was after all now awake.
the next day, it's finally time to go to school, thankfully, Dudley is not his classmate, or he would experience a year-long suffering, he looked down the school floors, making the bullies target him,and then they took him on a secluded part of the school, and this is where he practiced his magic
'Now Harry, do what I taught you' said Tom making Harry smile, he looked at them rather creepily with that creepy smile. " what are you looking at freak" said the bullies, these boys were once friends with Dudley until Dudley found new ones. " Let's just say, i want to practice something," said Harry with a twisted smile on his face, then by using his magic he made them freeze on the spot "What are you doing!" said the bullies, " FREAK" the fat one shouted, then he forced their mouth shut " now we don't want them to hear you," harry said in his sweetest voice. they tried to move but they couldn't, he undid the froze spell and then murmured " Crucio" All of them writhed in pain, bodies bending, they felt as if their bones were breaking, harry could hear the cracking and their begging for forgiveness" You see.. I don't like it when people hurt me" said harry in a sweet tone. " "But if you dare touch me again, you'll experience something worse than that" he continued and walked away, when he was far enough he got rid of the spell, a terrifying voice inside his head, showered him with praises, and he paid him no mind, Harry is over the clouds, it felt good to do that. Since then the bullies didn't bother him anymore.
