Everyone stood rigid and stared at Tom with wide eyes. Victoire had come to her senses and got up.
"Youuu'rrrrreeeee, Tommmmm, Riddddle?" Teddy asked with a squeaky voice.
"Yes! And who are you!" Tom seemed angry, Teddy picked Lily up and Victoire lifted Hugo. They tried to shield the children and get them out but the door was locked.
"I said who are you!" Tom seemed very pleased by the fear he had installed inn the children.
"We, We're fro the future, and, and, You're Tom Riddle?"
"Yes you got a problem with that! Anyway, what year are you from?" The kids all seemed confused and wondered why he seemed so calm.
"I suppose you are wondering why I'm so calm, well I'm a wizard too! I got my letter and all!"He waved his letter in their noses and they flinched as he came close.
"Your strange? Where will you stay until you have to leave?" Tom asked.
"Um, well, this is muggle London, so, um, I don't know?" Teddy seemed to know that they would have to stay here but was hoping that Tom would give them other options.
"OH! You can stay here! If you want you can just stay in here. The nurses and kids are scared of me so they stay away..." The future kids looked taken aback so Tom tried to cover it up, he obviously wanted them to stay, "I mean, they are all normal and hate me because I'm starnge, and different, just like you!"
Tom seemed desperate and Teddy knew they had no choice. "Well, we could put an extension charm on the wardrobe and stay there."
Roxy and Fred shook their heads quickly and Hugo and James seemed worried. Lily seemed confused and was brave enough to speak, "My daddy told me to stay away from you, but your not the same as you are in my nightmares, your different less scary, but mummy said that if you ever hurt me she would hex you into next week."
This caused the future kids to giggle but seeing the look on Toms face stopped them. "Am, am, am I not a good wizard?"
The kids all seemed scared, but did not answer. "I SAID TELL ME!"
They were all quiet, but then Fred spoke, "We have to erase his memory anyway, well, your actually the most feared wizard in the world, but my uncle Harry, um, he got rid of you..."
"What?!"
"Oh shit FRED WHAT HAVE YOU DONE! WAIT, OBLIVATRTE!" Victoire screamed as Tom tried started to faint. He seemed taken aback at first, but then started to talk normally.
"So were are you staying?" They put a charm on the wardrobe and all crawled in. Tom said goodnight and went to get his dinner.
"Teddy? Maybe we should lock the door?"
"Yes, I think I will Rose, thanks!" They whispered and locked the wardrobe door.
"WOW!" Albus turned around and was the first to see the contents of the wardrobe. The spell Teddy had put on it had made a whole tent of a house inside. It had 2 sofas, a table, chess boards, and sleeping bags for them all on comfy duvets spread on the floor.
"Yeah, I've been learning that since I started Aurors training, now, Lily, Hugo, Roxy, nap time!" As the younger ones climbed into bed Rose Fred and Albus and James started to play a game of wizards chess on the table, "Well, seems I ain't in trouble any more!" James whisered to Fred, although Rose heard it.
"James! You are still in so much trouble! Isn't he Teddy!"
"Yeah Rosie, he is, but for now we need food for when they wake up." Teddy nodded towards the kids on the sleeping bags.
"I'll conjure some up, but it might be little. Anyway better than nothing. Accio dinner."Victoire said. Plates of gruel and stale bread flew through the wardrobe doors.
"Kids, dinners ready!"
They ate and after the strange encounter they had with the boy, they all felt safe falling asleep behind the locked doors.
"Teddy, are we going to be O.K?"
"Of course Hugo, we'll be just fine."
