The storm blew and he stepped into the cold night, hoping for shelter. Somehow, across the distance, he saw a flickering light...

BOOM! The crash of thunder made him run. He stood in front of 'Pete's Bar'. He grasped the knob and turned it.

"Beer #6 for Dany o'er there!" a bartender pushed a jug of beer across the counter.

"Eh, Thank ya Pete!" a toothless man cried happily.

"No problem," Pete noticed him. "What do yer want, son?"

"Shelter," he shivered simultaneously under his thin jacket, with a hood, over him.

"Well, hm..." Pete thought fakely, as he used his fingers to rub his chin. "Well, yer have a'y money?"

"Fifty sickels," he replied, still shivering.

"Fifty sickels, eh?" Pete noticed the him shivering near the door. "Eh, son, you can close the door. Stay by the fire o'er there, while I think of sumthin'."

He nodded, and walked toward the fire, set across from where he was talking. he walked around tables, while men stared at him, confused and drunk. He kept his hands in his pockets at all times. A man near him stood up, stared at him, and walked away. When he got to the fire, he felt warm.

For about five minutes, he stared at the crowd.

"Ya Pete, pass me a beer!" another man with ruffled hair and yellow teeth cried.

"Ya got it, Bob!" Pete cried back in reply. Pete noticed the boy, and shook his head in pity. He just wanted the boy warm so he could leave. He didn't know what sickels were!

"Ya, son, come o'er here," Pete called.

He rubbed his hands for the last time and stuck his hands in his pockets, and walked back to Pete.

"Now, lookey here son," Pete stared at him face to face. "There's a tavern in The couple who live there are the owner. But I tell ya," Pete leaned closer to him. "The couple are very quiet and nice, especially the woman. She has a son, which you can play with. Here's a cup of tea to keep ya warm on ya cold journey, lad," Pete gave him a mug.

"Thanks," he put on his hood, and opened the door, which revealed cold air splashing in. And once more, he began on his 'journey'.

"Yes?" a woman within the age of 30 stared at him.

"Erm, I'm looking for a tavern, hoping to stay for awhile," the boy stared at her back.

"Well, where are your parents? It's a dreadful day out, so just come in for now," the woman opened her door wider.

"Well, miss..." his sentence trailed off for two reasons: one-he was thinking of an excuse, and two-he wanted her to tell him her name.

"Oh, Mrs. Potter." the woman smiled. "Call me Jane,"

"Well, Jane, my parents are on a business trip, so they gave me fifty sickels, and a letter," he replied.

"Actually, I don't know what sickels are, but I've heard my son say a few things about it,"

"Oh?"

"Yes, his name is James, James Potter, oh, and what is your name?" she smiled.

"Tom, Tom Riddle," he replied.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Mum! Who is that?" a boy came down the steps, wearing glasses and dark hair. "Oh, hi." James noticed Tom.

"James, meet Tom Riddle," Jane said, shoving James a little.

"Nice to meet you," James smiled.

"Nice to meet you too," Tom replied.

"Now boys, go along now, Tom, you can bunk with James, and don't worry," Jane called. "You don't have to pay for staying in, stay as long as you like, as long as your parents know you're here,"

"Thank you Mrs. Potter!" Tom replied.

"Call me Jane!"


Tom and James entered Jame's room, filled with posters of magic. Tom stared.

"Oh, don't mind the room, do you?" James asked.

"N-no, actually, it looks kind of cool," Tom replied.

James skipped to a small arm chair. Prrr...shhhh.... "Heh, heh," James laughed embarrassed as he stood and stared a wuppy cushion, kind that's used for 'farts'.

RING!!! RING!!!

James grabbed the reciever and put it on speaker.

"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !!!!!" a girl laughed hysterically.

"LILY ! I'm going to get you!" James and Tom stared at Jame's window and saw a girl with blond beautiful hair rolling across a rug.

"Gotcha, didn't I?" Lily laughed again.

James hung up, and stared angrily across the street. Lily stuck out her tongue at him and laughed. James pulled his shades down angrily.

"Who's she?" Tom asked.

"The most annoying and despicaple girl I've ever met! She's been playing tricks on me, when I'M supposed to be the one playing the trick on her!" James pouted.

"For a guy, you sure act like her more," Tom laughed.

"HA HA HA, very funny," James certainly wasn't amused.

Tom laughed harder, and HE started to roll across the floor. He didn't notice that he dropped the letter.

"Hey, what's this?" James picked the letter up.

Tom stopped and stared at the letter. He made a dive and grabbed it. James was too quick.

"Hogwarts," James read. James stared up at him. Then read the letter.

"Dear Tom Riddle, You have been accepted to Hogwarts witchcraft and wizardry..."James stopped and smiled. "Now WE can get her back for SURE!"

Tom snatched the letter back. "Who's WE?"

"Me and you! I got accepted too! So did Lily, and Sirius, and the Mareuters! HA! We'll win against her anytime, with you in our club!" James clapped and smiled evily.

Before Tom could say any more, Jane's voice called. "Boys! Time for dinner!"

James ran and stopped at the doorway. "Tom, you coming?"

"In a minute, I have to go to the bathroom," James shrugged and went downstairs.

Seeking revenge is one thing,
But doing it with Muggles is another...
