History's Change - Chapter 2 - Mystery Letters!
Harry and Tom were sitting at lunch about a week after the 'Snake Day' as they had dubbed it. And were talking in their secret language, they had discovered they could converse a few days ago, when Julia, the head lady of the orphanage, came into the room and walked over to them. "Here boys you have letters, I suggest you open them in your room, ok?" she handed them two relatively thick yellow parchment envelopes. Harry and Tom looked at the envelopes curiously as they moved to their bedrooms. When they got there tom was the first to rip into the envelope eagerly. Harry and Tom rarely got mail so they didn't care that the envelopes were funny looking. Harry read his silently while tom started to read his aloud. " 'Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Headmaster: Armando Dippet (Order of Merlin 2nd Class) Dear Mr. Riddle, We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September 1st. We await you owl by no later than 31st July. Yours sincerely, Albus Dumbledore Deputy Headmaster'" Tom sat down heavily on the bed as the blood drained from his face. "What does it all mean Harry? I think it's a joke don't you? I do. but then again it could be real and I don't know what were going to do." Tom said this all very quickly before starting to hyperventilate. Harry moved and sat down next to tom and started rubbing his back "calm down tom deep breaths come on." When Tom had calmed down again Harry thought it was time to think about this. "I have no idea if this is real or not but tom I don't want to get exited over this. I mean think about it. 'We await your owl'? What could that mean? I've never seen an owl before have you? And how are we going to get the orphanage to let us go?" Harry took a deep breath and lay back, pulling Tom with him. "I'm scared Tom" They lay there quietly in the dying sunlight pondering what the letters could mean, and slowly and surly they drifted off to sleep curled up together as only best friends can.
*****
When Harry woke up it was dark outside and Tom was lying next to him shivering. He gently shook tom awake so he could get the covers over themselves and fell back asleep.
*****
The next morning the were shaken awake by Anne, one of the people that worked there, and were told to get them selves ready and hurry to Julia's office because there was someone important to see them. "Wonder who it is. I don't know anyone important do you?" Tom asked looking down at Harry as they walked towards Julia's office. Harry shook his head in a negative gesture and stopped in front of a door with a glass panel on the front. Through the panel he could see the cloudy figure of Julia and another of a man with auburn hair. Tom and Harry looked at each other and gulped before Harry reached over and grasped toms hand in his and nodded to him. Tom nodded back and then reached up and knocked.
