Chapter 3: Escape to Hogwarts
They stood on Platform 9 and 3/4, hand in hand waiting for someone to tell them what to do, where to put there stuff. They had walked out of the orphanage, and Madame Pruitt had called the Police, so they ran to the place where they were supposed to go, and finally followed a bunch of others onto Platform 9 3/4, "So I heard the head master has stepped down and Professor Dumbledore may be taking his place" an older girl with black hair said. Ellie sighed "Just more gossip" she hissed, Tom chuckled "Calm down Els.." he said as she paced the platform infront of him, her brown hair now shoulder length as she wore a grey zip up hoodie with worn out jeans, Tom in a black tee-shirt and jeans. "Do you think I'm being foolish?" she asked turning to him, he sighed "A little.." he said, she put her hands on her hips and he smirked "What.. the cops cant find us here" he said, she shrugged simply and went back to pacing when Tom took her hand, "Calm down" he said pulling her over to a bench as they sat down. A tall boy with dark black hair walked over, "Hmm first years eh?" he asked, he wore black robes with a slytherin emblem. Ellie studied it closely 'Thats the house we want to be in' she thought. "Yea" Tom said shrugging, "Ah.. come on then I'll show you where to drop your trunks" he said leading them down the platform as Tom pushed the trolley with their trunks on it, Ellie walking beside him staring at her feet her hands in her hoodie pockets, as the boy put the trunks away they got on the train. Tom stopped Ellie in the hallway, "It'll be okay now.. we're safe" he said putting his hands on her cheeks and saw her smile slightly, he leaned over kissing her forehead. "I'll marry you one day" he promised, she laughed "Marry me.. Tom your twelve.. and theres plenty of prettier girls around here" she said, he smirked then leaned over and whispered "yea but they wont let me kill the muggles" then chuckled as she giggled, looking to him then took his hand "Lets find a compartment" she said as they went to find one.
Soon they found a compartment, and Tom stretched out on one bench, his head resting in Ellie's lap as she looked content just stroking his hair, he closed his eyes resting happily there. Soon the door slammed open, Tom shot up glaring at those who opened it and saw a girl with long black hair just below her shoulders dressed in a dark blue jumper and white turtleneck, with another boy who had shaggy black hair. "Is this bench taken?" the boy asked, Tom snorted "Uh yes.. my invisible friend Bob is sitting there" he said sarcastically, "Hmm.. You must be Tom Riddle" the girl said, Tom perked a brow at her, Ellie looked between Tom and the girl. "Theres a lady outside the barrier asking about a Tom Riddle and Ellie Reid" she commented, "Ah shit." Ellie muttered, The boy chuckled "Nice words there" he said, she rolled her eyes. "So are you guys magical?" the girl asked, Tom smirked "Nah See I'm a muggle I just wandered through a wall and figured 'hey thats not odd what a cool train" he said sarcastically, Ellie sighed "Cut the sarcasm.." she whispered, he looked to her and saw her eyes red as if she had been crying, "I'm going to the ladies room I'll be back" she said, Tom watched as she left and was worried she would go tell Pruitt, and huried out after her catching her in the hallway, "Your not running back to Pruitt" he snarled clenching her upper arm tightly, "Ow.." she whimpered, then glared at him shaking his arm off, "Of course I wouldnt do I look like a bloody retard to you.. you know what.. consider this friendship terminated" she snapped at him and turned storming off, as he sighed then growled walking back to his compartment, the girl and boy laughing by then, "What's up man?" the boy asked, "What are your names?" Tom snapped, "Julie and Matthew.. were twins" the girl said, "Hmm.. care to be my friends?" Tom asked, and thats how he worked up reputation points and followers.
