Hogwarts and Red Strings
Tobias glare at the old man in front of him, he was going to a school to learn magic. He was please until he learn that Dumble-dork refuse to get his family know because they weren’t magical. As if, they are the most magical people he ever know. More powerfully than this old fart!
He grumble as he led Dumble-dork into their garden for proof to see their magic. While he led them there, Dumbledore was in his own thought when he met Tom who refuse that name who calls himself Tobias Prime. He hear from Mrs Coles about the group of children who hangs out in the lock garden. They had claim the garden as their own and refuses to share it with the other children. Many of the children wanted to play inside of the beautiful area but they refuse.
When Billy and some of the older children tried to break through fences, their hands was cut by the metal structures. So they just leave them alone inside of their garden however as punishment they took away their dinner. But for some reasons they seem glad about it.
When Dumbledore saw Tom, he knew he was dark. Every part of the boy was dark, he knew the boy would end up in Slytherin which was a shame. If only the boy was light then maybe things would be different. He follows him through the garden, when he lay eyes on the wall gates. He could see why the children wanted to play in there it was truly a fantasy due the smell of flowers and fresh water running to be hear. But he was more focus on the magic, he never felt anything like it. He could felt all the light and dark magic behind there. It was large, larger than any children and adult he had ever met.
When he enter the area, he saw the thirteen children who greet Tom with a warm smile yet glare at him. He knew they were the ones, Tom’s magic was in the area but the thirteen of them. Their magic FILL over the place. Peter or Prima as he call himself, his magic was so light and pure. Nothing like he had felt or seen. He knew that this child would end up in Gryffindor. In fact, he’d sure most of the children here will end up in Gryffindor due to their light magic core. He could sense that dark energy inside of the younger ones but the youngest Orion.
He greeted them with a welcome smile as he told them about Hogwarts. They glance at each other before agreeing to join in. Excellent, this way he can control the young light wizards. All dark wizards must be erase. He smile with a sparkle in his eyes unaware that the children wasn’t fool by his grandfatherly act at all. He was far too young to fool them with promises. He put them on the roasters before leaving. He has a feeling that those children will the change the world under his guidance.
Once the old man left, they spoke to each other, dropping their mask as they saw the hunger in his eyes to control them. Prima spat out in rage as he stabs his wooden Star Saber sword on the ground. “Fricking bastard trying to control us, his stupid magic trying to mind control me and siblings. I’ll feed him to the Unicorn myself!”
Vector chuckle softly, “Don’t worry brother, father would never allow us to be taken under control by any of these mortal magic. No offense Tobias, your magic is the same as them.”
Tobias growl softly as he hatred it when they talk about mortal magic and this father of theirs. He hated the fact they kept it a secret from him. No matter once he prove himself in the wizard world, his siblings will respect him like they should. A family member that they adore, well….they do adore him but like a small child learning new things. He want them to look up to him like they look up with each other.
Vector pet his head, he send him a smile showing that he was lost in thought again. He smile softly back to him, Vector knows that he hates it when they keep secrets from him.
“Tobias what would you like to improve on today?” He ask him as he walk them over to their library, he follow him while tightly holding his hand.
Vector sat in a laps while he sat in the chair, he enjoys this as he when falls asleep. Vector would be hugging him through the night because he wouldn’t have to return to that wretched place of an orphanage outside of their garden.
When the day arrived for most of them to get his wands, Tobias was very excited, at last he was gonna lay eyes on the world he is meant to belong in. He heard so much from his dear ‘little’ brother Vector, Vector never kept it a secret that he could see into the future as he was known as a Seer. He learned that Seers are very powerful wizards and witches who are hunter down due to their foresight. Which is why Vector had to be protected, he’d not a fool though. He knows Vector can protect himself but he wouldn’t allow any take Vector or any one of his little Prime brothers and sister away from him.
Prima, Vector, Trion and Solus will be joining him next year sadly but they would be fine. He promise that he’d be the top student in everything. There no way he would failed from all the subjects his younger brothers taught him. He still refuse to them older brothers, he was the oldest after all. It’s his duty to protect them from those hungering power corrupted people like Dumb-a-dork!
He huff softly as Vector came with him, he held Vector’s hand tightly so that they couldn’t get lost arriving into the pub. Vector told him how it lead to the wizarding world. Vector went to talk to the bartender Tom. He huff and hold back a snare at the horrible plain boring name. Completely please that he was known as Tobias now. He lay eyes on their world, the rightfully world he was born in. He vow to protect this from the worthless muggles.
Muggles are a fitting name for such creatures those non magic users. He wanted to plague them until Prima told him that removing the muggles will only make them hunt the magical world even more. So he plan is to seal off the magical world from those disgusting creatures forever.
They head to goblin bank to get some gallon for them, he also wanted an inherited test to know his bloodline until Vector told him that his mother was magical while his father was a dirty muggle! A muggle! His father wanted nothing to do with him because he was magical like his mother, his mother became very sick and ill when his father abandon them. His mother own magic was use to keep him warm until she gave birth to him dying from exhaustion. He hated that his mother fell in love with a disgusting muggle but he was very pleased that his mother love him that her own magic kept him alive.
Taken from his thought as he looks at Vector talking a goblin about the Prime vault, he didn’t knew the Prime family was an ancient family. They were taken to vault number 7 when he saw the gallons inside of there, he was very pleased about this. His family wouldn’t have steal or trick people anymore as most of his younger siblings had so much chivalry. He groan at the thought from Prima, Orion and Trion words every time when they caught Liege, Qi, Axel, Nexus and himself stealing. Vector and Onyx just watches in amuse while Solus and Megatronus both are just lovely-dovey with each other.
He takes a whole heap of the gallon into his wallet as he didn’t want to return to the bank, just in case the old creep sends a trail on him. He refuse to let the old man take anything from him even if it was a Knut. He notice that where was some pictures in the room but they weren’t moving. They were all metallic warriors wearing armour even their face was cover. There was all thirteen of them too, he wonders if they were his siblings’ ancestors.
He glances around to see what rest was there, he spots books and some type of metal pad. He notice it look a lot like the tools Trion use to write on. He hum softly as he took one to see, he saw it was language that he was taught when he was first adopted to the family. He hums in delight that he wouldn’t have to worry about any one reading it to learn because they can’t. He takes it with him as he chuckle out softly.
“Brother your possessive side is showing again.” Vector call out to him as he notices Tobias is finish.
He huffs out softly, “No I’m not.” He takes the three of the data pad like a prize, which it was, with so much knowledge of the Prime’s history inside of there.
Once done, he head to get his robes and books bought as he wanted his wand last to make this even sweeter. He glances into the mirror enjoying the sight on him in the robes, he wonders which house would he end up in. He doesn’t care what it was as long it wasn’t the house Dumb-a-dork. He spots Vector reading one of his magic books as he waits for him. His little brother is so wise, he silently curses that his brother was a seer. He’s little brother didn’t deserve to be curse with such a power and have a huge target on his back.
He taps Vector’s shoulder, waiting for him to put his book away before getting his wand. The moment he’d been waiting for, he glances at the front of the shop. Ollivander’s, the best wand maker in the world. He steps inside with Vector holding his hand as he checks the area. He saw a middle age man glancing at them.
He spoke softly to them, “New faces, looking for a wand. Then you came to the right place young man.” He glances at Vector, “Curious, curious very so.” The stare unnerves Tobias a bit but he stood in front of Vector, glaring at the wand maker. Daring him to make a move at his younger brother, he won’t let him touch him.
Ollivander laugh and chuckle softly, “No need to panic young Riddle, your brother’s soul is quite mysterious. Come now, let’s get you a wand.” He went to the back with the boxes to find one for him. His words echo to Tobias, he glared at the Ollivander more. Who simply chuckle and laugh at him, how dare he laugh at him.
He hands over a wand for Tobias to take, “Try this one. Give it a wave.” He raises a brow before grabbing to wave it, pointing at him. Making a wind blast that destroy what was behind Ollivander, he blinked in surprise as the wand maker took it back.
“Definitely not that one,” He pull a different one out, “Try this.” Tobias grab it and wave it only to destroy a shelf, making the wand stacks for down on to the ground. “Not that one too.” Vector stare in amaze that the mand maker wasn’t affect by the mess. He’d guessing that after all mess made by the wizards and witches getting their wands over the years. It wasn’t that surprising anymore, he’d thankful that he recorded this to share it with the others after Tobias left. At least this way no surprise spark attack to the others.
Tobias glance at the new wand, it was seventh one for him to tried. Ollivander hand him the wand, he reached for it. He felt the air around him shift, his magic whisper to him as he the wand felt so right in his hand.
Ollivander glances at the wand as he whispers out softly, “Yew, phoenix feather, thirteen and a half inches long, rigid and unyielding. You to be destined for great things young Riddle Prime.”
Tobias simply smile at the words spoken from the wand maker, yes, he is. With his wand finally in hand, he pays Ollivander for his wand and left with Vector. He tried to giggle in delight as he felt the wand in his hands. He wanted to bring his wand out and wave it around, but he wasn’t childish damn it. He felt their eyes on him as he bought his wand out.
He glared Qi seeing his eyes gleaning out, “Don’t even think try it.”
He whines softly, “Come on just a test Tobias.” He hugged his wand tightly to his chest, he’d not a fool. Living with them long enough has made he realise that Qi was very er…into learning how something works by any means.
“You can ask the wand maker when its your turn Qi, stop picking on Tobias.” Prima slap his head softly who pouted.
“Fine…Say how did the alley of magic look like Vector.” He glances at his actual older brother with eyes of wonder. Vector just smile with his eyes close as he put a finger over his mouth, not spilling anything for them. Qi pouted more as he grumbles into Alchemist chest, who pet his head. “There, there Qi it’s alright.”
Tobias grumble as he felt his head pat by Solus, “Awww our baby brother is growing up~.”
His eye twitch, “Your younger than me!”
“Nope~, little Toby is growing up~.” He flushed up angry at her words as he was pet on the head. Curse her monstrous strength, she can crush boulders triple her size easily and lift them like a paper plane. He grumbles as he starter to read his book for Hogwarts, “Awwww~ look at him. Reading a book, he’d such a book worm like you Trion.”
Trion sigh softly, “Sister, I find it rather a good thing. Bless father that Tobias didn’t end up like you with your crazy stunts.”
“Hey! It’s not my fault they trash talk back about my Megatronus. Those brats got a lesson!”
“Sister…” Orion sigh softly as he spoke, “Having a stink bomb exploring in their bedroom isn’t a lesson. They smell like horse poop for months.”
Solus, Prima, Tobias, Qi, Nexus and Luke snicker at the prank, Megatronus smile brightly, remembering it as he hugs Solus. Whispering sweet words to her of how she defended him, if it was when Tobias first join them, the action cause many to cover their faces at their affection. But after the years together, living with them. They have learnt to deal with the sweet name calling and flowery sparkles around them, by just ignoring the two lost in their own little world.
Tobias grumble as he couldn’t change his name from Tom Riddle on paper until he turns seventeen. Seventeen! He’d has to keep that boring cursed name Tom Riddle! He can’t wait for him to turn seventeen, the age of a full-grown adult wizard. He plans to make a name for himself and buy a large land and build a median house enough to fit his family and possible future nieces and nephews from his ‘younger’ siblings.
They might treat him like a child, but he not blind. He can see the way they look at each other, he doesn’t have a connection like them. This spark what they call heart but he knows its pretty amazing. He was given a special gift from his family over the years for his birthday. He always hated his birthday but now, he’s life was fill with nothing but pure joy because of them.
One of the gifts given to him over the years, on his ninth birthday. His gift was known as soul vision, a gift from Trion Solus and Onyx. This allows him to see anyone’s soul if he becomes very close to them or he can look into someone’s eyes to see what their real nature was. He was very surprise at this gift, but he’d realise it was based on trust. A deep trust they have with him, that he wouldn’t peak into their souls without permission.
After three months of having that power and not abusing it, he was able to see the spark, their heart, the soul of their essence. He’d never seen anything so beautiful; their sparks call out to him. He felt so warm and welcome as a brother. He also notices something else; he notices a red string around Solus and Megatronus, on their pinkie fingers. He remembers hearing and reading about it about from older children and stories book.
When he glances all his sibling’s fingers, that red string was connected and intertwined with each one of them...and when he checks his own…he didn’t have red string…it hurt…he had everything he could ever wanted. A family that love him but he didn’t anyone to share and bond like his siblings…At least that’s what he thought before Vector spoke to him.

“Frustrated that you don’t see anyone for you?” It was night when they spoke about it, the smoke and fog covering the star jewel star. It was only viewable for them due the trees and clean air, Vector was sitting on his laps as he was smaller than him. They were on the roof, sitting on a large cushion known as a bean bag. He grumbled softly as he hugged him tightly as he glared at his string less finger.
“…Do you why?” He hated how weak he sounds but he couldn’t help, a part of him was still a child. A bit possessive, dark thinking and over ambitious but still too young. Vector wipe his tears away; he was crying due the fact he didn’t have a fated one.... How weak and pathetic was he.
“Cause your fated one isn’t born yet.” He looked down at him before laughing out loud madly as he holds his head.
“You can’t serious, how can they be. Surely my fated one can’t be that young…. are they?”
Vector was silent as his eyes glow softly cyan blue; he was checking the future as his pupils were gone. “…Your fated one won’t be born until the year 1980.”
“But nearly sixty years apart, what is god thinking, surely he can’t be that stupid?” He questioned him as Vector blink as he shook his head softly to make his eyes turn back to ruby red. Tobias watch as his brother look up at him, petting his head.
(High from the heavens the Unicron laugh as Primus slap his brother head, “Why would you do that?!”“Why not, the boy was meant to my avatar of chaos not some damn hero of order!” Primus pouted at his words.)
“…We cannot comprehend the wisdom of the gods,” Vector said to him as he ignores the two supreme beings’ words from the universe. “But I’m sure they have a good reason behind it. Perhaps it’s the god’s way of telling you to find a way to live beyond a normal mortal life. After all wizards are said to be live for two hundred years before death from old age.”
He hummed in delight, “True wizards do trend to live longer than those muggles,” he starter to think. “I need to make anti-aging spell or something to keep my good looks in the future.”
Vector pat his head, “You’ll be fine little brother, you have us to help you.” Tobias nodded his head before glaring down at him.
“I’m your big brother damn it.”
“Whatever you say.” He snickered as he pets him.
“….As your big brother, I allow you to pet me.”
Vector simply laugh as he hug, Tobias felt his mouth softly tug into a smile as he hug back.
“Awww~.” Two voice whispers behind them, Tobias eye twitch as he looks behind him to see Solus and Megatronus. “So cute~, our Toby is all growing up~.”
“Shouldn’t you two be in a room?!” Tobias voice ranged through the night in rage, it was only thanks to Vector that they didn’t get in trouble.
“Don’t ruin the moment Toby~.”
“STOP CALLING ME THAT!”
---
Tobias grumble as he remembers that night, thinking about his family, all the moments they had together made him smile a lot in happiness. Even if he wouldn’t admit it, he excited and nervous to finally go to Hogwarts. Excited to learn about magic and nervous as this would the longest period he’d been away from his family.
They were in front of the train station as they walk through the barrier that was Platform 9 3/4. He swears if it wasn’t due to Vector’s gift, he would have been a dumbass asking the station muggles. He was really surprise about their blindness but that just makes it him more determined to keep the muggles away from the magic world when he comes the minister of Magic.
He glances at this family, if it was orphanage, they would be wearing those rugs but here. They were all wearing sew outfit made by Solus, Qi and Maximo. In the eyes of others, they were high nobles like the old blood families. He felt great pride to be wearing these clothing as he didn’t have to wear those ridiculous dirty outfits. He already burned away all his old outfits from the orphanage as someone like him doesn’t need such ghastly things.
He wanted to get on the train as he waves bye to them but he stands there hugging them tightly as he silently cried. After wiping his tears away, telling them that he’d write a letter to them once a week or nearly every day, Solus’ words. Prima pat his head as he stood a stool to be taller, much to the others trying not to laugh.
“Be strong Tobias, the others won’t treat you like them due to your half blood. Remember a true Prime never cowards or watches from the sidelines. Your pride and actions reflected yourself and all of us.” He looks down at him up, Tobias tried not to laugh as he nodded his head.
“Don’t forget to have some fun and make some friends. True friends who you can trusted and share your experiences with.” Vector said with a smile at him. Tobias smile slightly, he didn’t really want to make friends. But since it was coming from Vector he couldn’t say no to his face. Each wave their own good byes either to a ruffed on his hair, a wave of bye or snuggles deep hug. They gave a smile or grin at him as they look on into the window.
------Skip time----
He watches in delight and amaze the sight of Hogwarts from the boat, waiting for his name to be call.
“Thomas Riddles!”
He forces himself to not cringle at the name Thomas, the name of his muggle father. He refuses to be call by that but he has no choice however it doesn’t mean he won’t correct the others. He sat down as the hat was place on his head.
“Curiosity, very curiosity.” The voice of the sorting hat said to him, “Younger siblings who gifted you and one is a seer, a powerful one at that.”
‘If you much as tell the old farts! -’ He was cut off by the hat laughing.
“Nonsense young Prime-Riddle. Your secrets are yours to keep. I merely sort you. Very proud and protective, loves to learn everything that you can. Ravenclaw? No…Your very ambitious and cunning…yes you shall be.”
“Slytherin!” He shouted as the table of snakes clapped softly, he heads over to there. Time to make his mark on the wizarding world.
