Teddy Bear: Chapter 2 Diagon Alley
Tom was coming home from his school today!
He did come home on Christmas and gave him a moving chocolate frog, some more unexplainable candies and a long kiss but he felt that it was too short when Tom had to go.
He was currently in their bedroom most specifically on Tom's bed.
They both share a room together since the other boys and girls didn't want to room with Tom which Harry could understand considering he already hurt half the children in the orphanage.
He was holding on to his teddy, whom he named James, and had James' ear in his mouth.
"Aren't only babies supposed to do that?" A voice from the doorway said with mirth.
"Tom!" Harry jumped and ran to Tom.
"My deputy headmaster is here with me, he wanted to meet you and give you your letter" Tom said silently.
Tom stepped aside and a Middle aged man with red and grey hair came in.
"Hello young man my name is Albus Dumbledore, you must be Harry" Said Albus.
"Hullo" He replied as he stared up at the tall man.
Albus continued to stare and whatever he saw in Harry he was reassured and nodded.
He reached inside his jacket and pulled out a letter with the Hogwarts seal.
"I welcome you to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry" He said and a few mini fireworks erupted from behind him.
"Yey!" Harry was overjoyed, he can be with Tom!
Albus took out a small pouch filled with galleons.
"This is enough for your books and other things you might need for Hogwarts, the list is in the letter and I'm sure Mr. Riddle will show you Diagon Alley." Albus said with a smile at the boy.
"Thank you Sir." Harry smiled toothily.
Albus Dumbledore left later on; he was relieved that there would be somebody to ground Tom when in school.
He was worried at first, the reason why he even went to the orphanage earlier then expected, to see if this new student would be as bad as Tom, or even worse then Tom.
But now he could relax and sigh.
Back with Harry and Tom-
Harry snuggled deeper into Tom's chest.
"Hey Tom, to save money can I have your old Hogwarts books instead?" He asked.
Tom blinked and smiled, thinking about the notes he would write on some of the pages, which would be greatly helping Harry in his school work.
"Sure, that way you can buy other things instead."
"Can I have your robes too?" Harry asked.
"No Harry, they don't fit you." Tom said and Harry pouted at being reminded of being smallest.
"Maybe when you're older and you 'might' fit them" Tom said with a grin.
Harry giggled and Tom pecked Harry's lips affectionately and snuggled deeper into the sheets of his bed.
The next day-
They stopped in front of the Leaky Cauldron.
"C'mon Harry"
They passed the people in the bar and went straight to the entrance of the Alley.
"Tom, it's a dead end" Harry said as he stared at the brick wall.
Tom just smiled and tapped the bricks.
The bricks moved and slid until there was an arched entrance and Diagon Alley revealed to them.
Tom could hear Harry squealing and he laughed to himself.
They went through the normal procedure and bought a few books that caught Harry and Tom's eye.
Such as 'Is this spell legal?' for both of them, from what Tom saw it contains which spells are legal, borderline legal, should be illegal, and illegal.
And 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard' that Harry stated would be good and educational since it's a wizarding story book and Harry wondered if how different the stories the wizards have to muggle ones.
There weren't much people here since the school term had just ended and wouldn't start till two months later so they both took their time admiring the different shops and the contents within them.
Harry was practically salivating at the last stop.
It was Ollivanders wand shop open since 382 B.C.
They went inside and found the room bare of the wandmaker.
Ollivander tried to sneak up on little Harry but when he was about to say something and shock the boy, did he have shocked himself with powerful accidental magic from the boy while Tom watched on with a smirk.
"Oh sorry sir" Harry apologized.
"It's ok" Ollivander replied and shook his head to clear the tingling in his ear, he took one look at Tom and Harry holding hands then went out to the back.
He came back with an old box that Tom seems to recognize.
"This wand is the brother of Mr. Riddle's wand" He said.
Realization dawned on Tom as he remembered the trip he had to Ollivanders.
Flashback-
Tom and Albus went inside the wand shop with Albus trying to ignore the look of greed on little Tom's face.
"Ahh, Albus it's been a long time isn't it?" Ollivander asked.
"Ah yes, how are you?" Albus politely asked.
"I've already made the feathers you gave me into wands, the two wands seem to be a lot more different then the rest" Ollivander said hesitantly.
"Oh? Care to explain?" Albus pried.
"I can never get them away from each other for a long time, they seem to gravitate to each other, apart they are both very powerful but together it's is like gravity and time stops." He said in awe.
"Where are they now?" Albus asks with concern in his voice at the prospect of something so powerful.
"Here let me get them, I want to show you both wands look very different with each other but strangely alike" He left to get the wands.
Tom took the information in, his wand could wait, and he wants to know what these two wants are.
Ollivader came back carrying a box that seems to suck the light in.
He gently opened the lid and inside is two twin wands. The other is darker then the other and seem to radiate a sense of coldness while the other is lighter almost white and radiate warmth.
Tom felt compelled to take the black one his hand itching to hold it.
"Strange, why the different colour?" Albus pondered to himself.
"Ah, that is because the black one contains basilisk venom and dementor essence the tree that was used was yew but the contents of the wand seem to change its colour, the same with the white, the white contains the hair of an albino nundu which I tell you is quite shocking in itself and unicorn blood willingly given"
"Can I take the black one?" Tom asked.
"Oh why Mr. Riddle?" Albus asked.
"I'm drawn to it." was the simple reply and Ollivander quickly took the black one and handed it over, almost hesitantly to the greedy looking boy.
Once Tom held the wand, he felt connected, full, and whole as if everything is falling together and sparks of Black erupted at the tip.
End Flashback-
Harry hesitantly took hold of the white wand and felt the warmth of the wand seeped in and sparks of white erupted at the tip.
He was ecstatic to be getting something that was related to Tom's.
While Ollivander looked on in wonder at what he knows would be two of the most powerful wizards the Wizarding world will ever meet.
While Tom looked on fondly at Harry, knowing they were meant to be.
….well, for Tom, more reasons to spoil the boy.
They thanked the wandmaker then went home with the new things they had bought.
"I am going to Hogwarts, I'm going to Hogwarts" He chanted.
Tom smiled and said "You still have two months to go."
Since his letter came early he had lots of time.
"Read to me your school books?" Harry asked, even now he still liked to hear Tom's voice.
"Sure" Tom agreed.
The Next 2 months passed quickly with Tom tutoring Harry in the subjects that don't need a wand.
But since Tom can do many wandless magic, and thus untraceable to the ministry he taught all he could to Harry while studying his own books.
And not long they were already standing in front of the train.
