Chapter 1: The meeting

Eleanor Reid was one of those girls that simply didnt give a crap. She was raised in "Riverside Orphanage" her mother was a muggle born, her father happened to be one of the Ministry of Magic counsel advisors. But he died when she was young, and she had been in the orphanage ever since. She laid back on her cot staring up at the ceiling, her room mate Deborah had been adopted last week and now she was alone in her room, her brown hair drapped out behind her as she watched the old ceiling fan spin in its usual clockwise cycle, suddenly she heard a knock at her door. "Come in" she said not moving, soon in walked Madame Pruitt, her supervisor, and caretaker, with a boy behind her. He stood about her height, with curly brown hair, and dark brown eyes, he had pale skin dragging behind him a rolling black suitcase that appeared to be pretty beat up. "Oh yes.. Eleanor this is Thomas" Madame Pruitt said, "Tom" The boy corrected, "Well Tom this will be your new bunk while your here" Madame Pruitt said, the boy nodded and set his suitcase down flopping down on the bed, as Madame Pruitt nodded and left. "Nice to meet you too" Eleanor said sarcastically still staring up at the ceiling, Tom snorted "Yea Tom Riddle and you are?" he asked rolling his eyes, she looked over to him "Eleanor.. Ellie.. Reid" she said simply, he nodded "Ellie.." he said simply and laid back crossing his arms behind his head on his own bed, "Wow this place is pretty boring huh?" he asked, she sighed "I wouldnt know I've been here since I was 8" she said. He chuckled "sucks to be you" he said, she smirked "No it just absolutely rocks" she said sarcastically, "So why are you in here?" he asked, "Hmm.. well my father killed my mother for having me.. and then he died.." she said shrugging, rolling over onto her stomach as she looked over at him, resting her chin in her cupped hand, "Why are you here?" she asked, he smirked "I killed my father and my mother didnt want me and sent me away" he said simply, she nodded, he looked in amazement as she rolled over staring back at the ceiling, He had just told her he had killed someone, when he told the lady at the orphanage she had freaked out and almost not accepted him, yet this girl had just nodded and looked away. Soon Ellie and Tom had grown to be close friends, enjoying each others company.
