Secondary School Fallout
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Waterloo Road I just play with the characters.
Summary: Tom Riddle adopts Harry from an orphanage at the age of 13 and decides to send him to Waterloo Road as he has heard good things about the school.
Chapter 1
Harry is sitting at the table eating breakfast when Tom comes into the room and ruffles his hair before sitting down. Picking up the morning newspaper, Tom starts to read it as he drinks his morning coffee. Harry has just finished breakfast and asks "Tom, may I be excused to go up to get ready for my first day at school?"
"Harry, are you ready we need to go? You are going to be late if you don't hurry." Tom calls from the bottom of the stairs a few minutes later.
"Yeah I am coming Tom" replies Harry, still not comfortable calling Tom "dad" yet. As Harry comes downstairs with his bookbag and coat, Tom picks up his car keys and tells Harry to come on before they both get in the car and drive to the school.
Ten minutes later they arrive at the school and get out the car before asking one of the teachers where the Headmistress office is. Mr Snape leads them to the Headmistress office and knocks on the door.
"Come in" says Karen Fisher the new Headmistress.
They go into the office and Mr Snape starts to speak "a new student Mr Harry Riddle and his dad Mr Riddle for you Karen. Shall I stay as I am Head of Year for the year eights this year" says Severus.
"Yes you may stay have a seat Mr Riddle and Mr Riddle" Karen says as she gets a file out the file cabinet and sits behind her desk. Karen explains how the school is run and the new "three strikes and your out" system unless the parent has signed a corporal punishment form. "The way the 'three strikes and you're are out system works is on the first strike you get a two week suspension on the second strike you get a two week exclusion and on the third and final strike you are no longer welcome at this school. Is that ok with you Mr Riddle or would you like to sign the Corporal Punishment form?"
"If you don't mind I will hold off on signing the permission form as I have taught my son how to behave properly and he knows what is expected of him, that being said if he does misbehave feel free to call me anytime" replies Tom after he hears the how the school is run.
Karen then dismisses Harry to his Form Tutor for registration before classes start. Harry walks down the corridors lost he just can't seem to find his Form Tutor's classroom when he hears someone ask him something. "What?"
"Are you lost? What classroom are you looking for?" asks the student again.
"Oh I am looking for Mr Clarkson's classroom. Do you know where it is?" replies Harry.
"Yeah, follow me. I am going that way anyway. What's your name?" asks the student whose name he doesn't know yet.
"My name is Harry what's your name am sorry I forgot to ask"
"I'm Jess Fisher and am in year eight. What year are you in?"
"I'm in year eight as well. Just started today" replies Harry as they walk down the corridor, into the classroom and sit down.
