Bianca and Nico di Angelo sat outside an office with there few belongings.

"Bia, how long are we going to stay here?" Nico asked his sister.

Bianca sighed," I honestly don't know Nico. The lawyer said until she finds a suitable place for us to stay."

Nico slumps in his chair kicking his feet back and forth. A couple minutes later Mrs. Cole and Alecto, disguised as a lawyer, stepped out of the office. Bianca and Nico quickly stood up.

"I'll be back for you, children. I need time to find a safe place for you in the States. Don't cause any trouble for Mrs. Cole and the rest of the staff," Alecto said.

"Yes, Ma'am." Bianca and Nico answered in unison

"Be safe children," Alecto knelt down and gave them a hug then left.

Mrs. Cole cleared her throat to gain the attention of the children, which happened, "Bianca you will be staying with 3 other girls around your age. Nico, you'll be staying with just one roommate." Mrs. Cole started walking and the children followed.

Bianca got dropped off in her room first.

Once at Nico's room, Mrs. Cole put a hand on his shoulder and knelt down eye level to him, "Nico, if you don't want to stay in this room let me know and I'll arrange for you to have your own room, okay?"

"Yes, ma'am." With that answer, Mrs. Cole got up and knocked on the door, opening it a few seconds later. Upon entering the two saw a small form on the bed sleeping.

"I'll leave you to get settle Nico," Mrs. Cole whispered. "I'll have someone bring in another bed for you." Nico gave a nod of acknowledgment. Mrs. Cole left shutting the door softly behind her.

Nico sighed and put his bag next to the closet, taking out a blanket.

"You know," Nico started saying, "I would give you my blanket, but seeing as your not actually sleeping I won't." Once Nico finished the boy 'sleeping' on the bed throw his blanket off him and stared at Nico.

"How did you know?" The boy finally asked

"You tensed up when Mrs. Cole and I came in and once she left your form relaxed, slightly," Nico said while laying out his blanket on the opposite side of the room.

"Who are you?"

Nico sat down on the blanket than looked up at Tom, "I'm Nico. You are?"

"Tom, Tom Riddle." The boy, Tom, answered.

Nico smiled, "Nice to meet you, Tom."
