So, went on vacation. Wrote up to Chapter 6. Chapter 7 and Chapter 7 Alternate version are the last updates.
krysania: Okay, so my mind went nuts. You will want to read the chapter 7 version called Funeral Bells when it's ready. No one dies in that one, except the Ghost Children, besides Tom. Kay? I really didn't want to make you mad at me. So no Chapter 7 named The Ghost Children of Hogwarts for you! That chapter's really creepy.
Janelly Slytherin: You'd think he'd learn by now... Well, he gets into more trouble soon.
Rose Haven: Everything. He get's into everything. He's like my cat, Nightmare.
Review!
Love, Keta.
Chapter 4: The Ghost Children of Wool's Orphanage
Harry continues his investigation of the old orphanage, unaware of the problem outside. He's more interested in his surroundings and the wind that pushes him to the end of a long hallway. At the end is a door…
Harry peers around said door and sees a bedroom, threadbare and dusty. A wardrobe lies in the corner, being one of the few pieces of furniture, along with the bed and a nightstand. On said bed is a little boy that looks quite a bit like Harry. His emerald green eyes turn to the other boy in the room, Harry. "Hello," he whispers.
"Hi, special friend."
The boy smiles. "My name's Tom Marvolo Riddle."
"I'm Harry Potter."
"I know. Do you want to play with me?"
"Play what?"
"Tag."
"Okay!"
"Tom," wispy voices float in from nowhere, sending chills down the boy's spine. "Let us play with Harry too."
"NO!" he growls, standing up with a snarl. "You cannot play with my special friend!"
"Weren't we your friends too, Tom? Isn't that why we're all here together?"
"Stay out of my room!"
"Oh, we will. But when your special friend comes out, then we'll get to play with him… just like you played with us."
"No! No! NO! You can't touch what's mine!"
"But you touched what was ours… just like we touched yours… enjoy your friend… while it lasts." The kids cackle, making Harry flinch.
Tom takes his hand and whispers, "until the moon sets again, we can play in here, Harry. But when the sun rises, you must leave."
"I promise…"
Outside, the rest of Harry's gang tries and fails to break in before someone, Hermione, uses her head and says that they need to get the adults, leaving Harry in Wool's Orphanage with the ghosts of Tom Marvolo Riddle's murderers.
