Thanks for the tips and compliments! I'm sorry for any mistakes and stuff. You made me blush~ so here's the next chapter. Tom is 9 and Harry is 7 years old.

' '= Thoughts

" "= Speaking

Harry watched Tom make the bed he shared. 'Tom is so nice why would anyone dislike him?' Harry thought. Tom always shared his food with Harry, and when the new kids started to bully Harry because he made the leaves flutter Tom scared them off. The voice of Mrs. Pincers echoed, " TOM AND HARRY! GET UP ALREADY!" Harry stuck his tongue out. Tom gently smacked the back of Harry's head, " Don't stoop down to their level Harry." Harry blushed, " Yes Tom."

As they stepped down, a new face appeared in front of them. Harry being more sociable smiled, " Hullo! Who are you?" Tom merely hummed. The young girl had soft brown hair, blue vivid eyes, rosy cheeks and a nice pink dress. All in all she was pretty. "My name is Amy Benson!" Harry frowned, " How can you have a last name?" Amy giggled, " My mummy told the lady that this was my full name." Harry turned to Tom, " Tom do you have a last name?" Tom hesitantly nodded. Harry made puppy eyes at Tom, " Can you tell me? Or you never wanted to!" Tom furrowed his eyebrows " Um… it's Tom M-Marvolo Riddle."

Harry giggled as Tom stuttered. It was always fun to see Tom get flustered. Amy asked, " Well do you have a name?" Harry nodded, " It's Harry!" Amy frowned, " Harry what?" Harry also frowned, " That's it. Harry. Just Harry." Amy shook her head, " That's not normal! You need a last name! That's too weird!" Harry's eyes started to get teary, " It's not my fault I don't have one…is it Tom?" Tom scowled at Amy, " No it's not. If you would like one you can have my last name." Amy screeched, "No! That's for when you marry!" Harry blushed as he looked at Tom, " So, are we married?" Tom flushed, " No. Go find a book and choose a last name from there." Tom quickly walked away; his face still red. Harry walked to the bookshelf. He looked at The Great Big Treasury of Beatrix Potter. On the front he saw his favorite character, Peter Rabbit. He liked Beatrix Potter's last name. 'Perhaps I too would write books like Mrs. Potter' Harry thought. He decided to be called Harry Potter.

Harry ran towards the room he shared with Tom. Tom's face lost the red blush and he was laying on the bed reading. Harry smiled, " Tom! Tom! My name is Harry Potter!" Tom's lips twitched upward, " What about my name?" Harry didn't think that Tom was teasing him so he joyfully said, " When we get older, we can marry! I don't think it's proper right now. I know! We can practice!" Tom couldn't hold it in, he laughed until tears spilled out. Of course he still blushed. Harry stared confused, " What's so funny Tom?" Tom calmed down and hugged Harry, " I like you Harry." Harry blushed, " So do I Tom!" Tom kissed Harry's forehead. Harry shyly kissed Tom on the cheek.

However Amy kept following them and talking or trying to start a conversation.
She stayed close especially towards Tom. Harry felt something in his chest tighten and somehow started to hate Amy even though she was nice. Tom paid no attention to her but he still hated her. Then came Dennis Bishop and Billy Stubbs. Dennis had red-hair, hazel eyes, freckles and a thin figure. Billy was a bit pudgy, had brown curls and brown eyes that had flecks of green in them. Harry instantly disliked Billy and Dennis. They followed Amy who followed them. They also made fun of Tom! Amy ran up to Harry and clutched his arm. He faintly pouted at the fact he was about the same height as Amy. Harry nodded as she talked about what she saw on the telly and made some comments on the shows. Dennis frowned as he took notice to Amy's affections. Billy also took notice. Together they plotted to get a pet. Sometime that would make sure Amy liked them more than Harry or Tom.

Mrs. Pincers thought their idea was great. For the children to learn responsibility, a pet was the best way. She asked the new helper, Ms. Cole to take care while she took the boys to buy a pet.

The following morning Amy walked into Tom's room. Tom scowled at her and Harry yelped as he was changing. He was only in his undies and Amy blushed mumbling, " S-sorry!" She closed the door. Tom walked towards Harry, " Change quickly." Harry nodded. When they left Amy beamed at them, " Guess what!" Harry tilted his head, "What?" Amy giggled, " Billy and Dennis were allowed to buy a rabbit! It's so adorable and cuddly!" Harry looked at Tom, " Can I see the rabbit!" Tom nodded.

Harry ran towards the group of kids. Tom followed slowly allowing Harry to act like the child he was. "Tom! Mrs. Pincers needs your help," Ms. Cole said. Tom looked back but followed the assistant. Harry stayed behind the circle of people and looked in. Billy held a rabbit in his arms. The rabbit was brown and white on the inside. IT LOOKED LIKE PETER RABBIT! 'Just without the clothes,' thought Harry. He froze, 'What if it is Peter Rabbit! He disobeyed again! Poor Peter's mother! I have to set him free.' Harry entered the crowd. "What's his name?" Dennis looked at him and said, " Rufus." Amy pouted, " That's such a weird name for a rabbit." Billy blushed, "If you want to, you can name him Amy." Amy smiled and looked at Harry.

The boys did not miss the look. "How about… Peter!" They nodded reluctantly. Harry beamed at Amy. For once she did good. "May I pet him," asked Harry. Billy sneered at Harry " No you can't." Harry frowned, " But you let Amy hold it and some others, why can't I?" Dennis huffed, " Cause you are Harry and you are around stupid Tom." Harry clenched his hands. A book rose and smacked Dennis and Billy repeatedly the bunny scampered off under a desk. Amy screamed and started crying. She looked at Harry, tears falling off her round cheeks. "Freak! Stop doing those things! You're going to hurt people!" Harry's eyes widened. The books stopped hitting the two boys. They turned to Harry, "Freak! You and Tom both! Freaks!" Harry ran out of the room crying.

As he neared Tom's room he bumped into Tom. Tom saw Harry's tears and immediately asked, " What happened Harry?" Harry couldn't stop so Tom picked up Harry and brought him inside the room. He sat on his bed and made soothing circles on Harry's back. Harry soon calmed down. "Okay, now Harry, who made you cry?" Harry sniffed, " I asked Billy if I could pet the rabbit and he said no because I'm Harry and because I'm around you Tom. Then I got really mad and books started hitting them. Amy started crying and she called me a freak. Then, Dennis and Billy also called me a freak, and said you were a freak too and…and… sob!" Tom hugged Harry again as he bursted into tears. "Don't worry Harry, I'll…talk to them."

As soon as Harry fell asleep from the tears, Tom left the room. He looked at the rabbit and grabbed its cage. He then told Billy to come out. Billy sneered at Tom until he saw his rabbit in Tom's hands. As they enter the back, Tom left the rabbit go. Billy panicked, "What did you that for!" The rabbit somehow got on top of the big oak tree that not even Mrs. Pincers could reach the lowest branch. Bill glared at Tom, " Thanks for almost losing my rabbit! Now we are going to have to ask Mrs. Pincers to call the firemen!" Tom smiled.

The rabbit jumped off the branch. Billy stared horrified. The rabbit landed on the ground with a loud cracking sound. A horrible shrill noise filled the yard. The rabbit was still alive even after that fall broke most of its bones. Billy started to cry. The rabbit kept twitching, trying to get up. Then its head was twisted all round. The skin tearing and blood spilled on the ground. It was as if a strong, invisible hand had killed the rabbit. Billy was a mess of tears, snot and screaming. Tom smiled to himself until the door opened and out came Mrs. Pincers. Tom sighed, 'Time to act.' He made a horrified face and made tears come out. His hands shaking slightly as Mrs. Pincers ran up and saw the mess of rabbit. "Who did this?" Bill looked at Tom, " H-He did!" Tom shook his head, " Now I didn't! The rabbit ran out and jumped from the tree! I honestly couldn't have done this. That's too gruesome to even be done in my hand." Mrs. Pincers lifted a hand to her head, " Go to bed boys, please." They did. Mrs. Pincers decided this was a good time for a trip to the beach. It would take the children's mind off the rabbit.

The following day Mrs. Pincers told the children to put on their bathing suits. Harry excitedly put on his trunks. Tom however told Harry to wear a shirt. "Why?" Tom looked at Harry, " So you don't get sunburned." Harry decided Tom was weird in a way like that. Harry looked out the window of the bus as they neared the beach. "Woah! Look Tom! The ocean's beautiful!" Tom nodded. After putting down their towels, they stepped into the water. Harry squealed, " It's COLD!" Tom laughed he turned around to look at Harry. A wave hit Tom's back making him fall on Harry. Harry blushed as Tom's golden brown eyes sent sparks all around Harry's body. Tom gazed at Harry's bright green eyes. "That's disgusting." They looked up to see Amy and Dennis. Tom scowled and stood up. He picked up Harry who was sadly looking at the ground. They walked away but Amy and Dennis didn't stop. Harry kept crying and they made Tom get irritated.

Harry around and caught a glimpse of a rock. He ran towards it finding a cove. Tom followed but didn't run. Harry giggled until someone pushed him. His head hit the rock hard. He winced and looked up. Amy and Dennis stood there. They threw rocks at Harry shouting, " We know it was you! You killed Peter! You and Tom scared Billy! Freaks!" Harry cried as he ran outside the cove. He had his arms over his eyes, passing Tom. Tom snarled as he ran inside the cove. Amy and Dennis glared at Tom, " Oh, and the other freak."

Tom stepped in, each step making the cove darker, soon as he wasn't visible. Amy and Dennis squinted their eyes. But they heard the taps of Tom's feet. Tap, Tap, Tap. The steps kept coming closer until they felt cold air in front of their faces. A flame lit and in front was Tom. Amy and Dennis laughed weakly. Tom gave a slight grin before he frowned and opened his mouth impossible wide. He screeched and disappeared but not before they saw smoky shadows trail out of Tom's mouth. The shadows took shape as deformed animals and human looking ones. The animals had rotten gray skin, red dots for eyes, and gaping mouths with freakishly long tongues. The human-looking ones make clicking sound, one eye bigger than the other. They were wide and black. Their skin was gone from the upper half. The two kids could see the muscles and blood dripping. The hands were long and had nails that looked sharp enough to cut. The human looking ones' freakishly long tongue didn't just loll out of their mouths. Their tongues caressed Amy and Dennis's face. A snap echoed throughout the cove. The creatures attacked the humans and the humans attacked the creatures. Guts ripped out, chunks of meat littered the ground. Bones snapped and eaten, heads half eaten dropped to the ground. After a while, the only one was a human figure. It turned its head towards Amy and Dennis. They had long stopped screaming since they screamed until their throats were raw. A long tongue went over Amy's lips and around Dennis's neck.

Then it was gone. The light spilled into the cove. The water sparkled in the sunlight as if nothing ever happened. Tom was nowhere to be seen in the cove. Mrs. Pincers found them in the cove, their bathing suits soiled and unable to talk. They left the orphanage the following day. Tom kissed Harry's cheek, " No one can bother you now Harry." Harry smiled, " Did you make them go away?" Tom nodded. Harry pecked Tom on his lips, " A reward for my hero!" Tom blushed as he hugged Harry harder. " Only for you, Harry. Now let's go to sleep. It was a fascinating and long day for us both." Harry nodded smiling, clutching Tom's chest.

Oh I feel horrible for the bunny! Don't think too wrongly of me, I really do love animals. No rabbits were harmed. I hope you like this chapter. Shanagai95, don't worry Harry will eventually use his cuteness to control Tom but not yet. Bye!
