p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;""What is your name little girl?" I looked up at the lady "A-Andromeda" the lady wrote something down then she looked down at me "come with me and I will show you to your new room in this orphanage." I followed the lady up some stair. We came to two doors, the lady opened the one on the left and ushered me in "this will be your new room and your neighbor is Tom Riddle. Well dinner is at 6 and breakfast is at 9 in the morning and lunch is at 12. Good night then." With that said the lady left in a hurry. I laid down on the bed as I wrapped my arms around myself and cried for the first time in months. "Why are you crying?" I sat up to see a young boy about the age of 10 standing in the door way "I'm sad and scared. This is my first time in an orphanage and I am afraid the other kids will hate me and bully me like the kids did in my neighborhood." The boy walked into the room and closed the door behind him "what is your name? I'm Tom." I sat up to look at Tom "Andromeda. But people call me Ann for short." Tom nodded as he sat next to me on the bed "can you do strange things?" I slid off the bed and went to my bag and pulled out my jar of dirt. I got a small hand full of dirt and put my hand over my other hand and concentrated on the dirt after a while I felt something in my hand so I took my hand off my other hand to reveal a flower were the dirt once was. "Does this count as strange?" Tom got up and took the flower out my hand and put it behind my ear "yes it does. I can do things like that to but I can't make a flower out of dirt." I smiled up at him. "How old are you Tom? I'm 10" Tom pulled me to my feet "I'm 10 too." My smile got bigger "can we be friends? I never had a friend before but I really want to be friends with you." Tom smiled at me "yes we can be friends. Come on we should go to dinner."I nodded as I followed Tom out of the room and down the stairs. /span/p
