Chapter1: I want to be somebody
Tom lived in an orphanage. He did not know anything about his parents except the fact that his mother was dead and his father had left him. His Aunt Maria had brought him to the orphanage when his mother died. At that time he was 3 years old. Aunt Maria was a friend of Tom's mum. Aunt Maria once visited him in the previous year and told him that She worked with her mother in the company and that she was the only friend of her mum's. When Tom asked her about her father, she told him that once Tom's parents quarreled and His father left him and his mother. Tom tried to ask her more questions but the only answer he gets was 'Tom, do not ask more questions. I have to go now.'
Aunt Maria then again visited him after some days and told him that her mother was a witch and Aunt Maria was also a muggleborn witch. His father was a muggle and he left his mother when he came to know that Tom's mother was a witch.
Tom did not know what muggle means and when he asked his Aunt the meaning of a muggle. 'Don't ask questions and never bother.' She spated at him. After that HIS Aunt never came to meet him.
Tom knew the meaning of a wizard but he did not believe on wizards. He thought that Aunt Maria might be telling him some sort of fairy tale.
He hated that woman. He hated her.
'Riddle, haven't you done the washing. I am mad at you. You are a bad bloke. I am going to give you a severe punish for your disobedience. Your punishment is that you are not going to have dinner today. This will teach you a lesson-I suppose.' The caretaker of the orphanage said evilly. Mrs. Thomson was a very strict and cruel woman. She used to punish all of the children severe punishments.
All the children had to do some work in orphanage and Tom was to wash the dishes but he was too busy in thoughts of making all people bats if was a wizard, that he forgot the dishes. That day he was starving. He was in rage. He hated Mrs. Thomson. He hated all the children in the orphanage plus the staff. He had no friends. In orphanage all the children were enemies of each other.
In orphanage they had classes in which they had to study. Tom was very intelligent and this was the only thing in the orphanage in which Tom enjoyed.
One day when he went to shops with Mrs. Thomson. While Mrs. Thomson was busy in shopping. He saw two kids of his age. He smiled at them. One of them asked him 'who are you and where do you live?'
Before Tom could open his mouth to answer the other other said noticing his baggy clothes 'Who he can be- an orphan living in an orphanage or perhaps a begger sleeping at paths or a poor child.
'Yes you are right. I live in an orphanage. She is the caretaker of our orphanage. She is Mrs. Thomson.' Tom answered pointing at Mrs. Thomson al;though he did not like the kid's tone.
'Then you are nobody.' The kid said and went away.
Tom's hating list was getting longer and longer after adding the both kids, Mrs. Thomson, Aunt Maria and all the children in orphanage. He was not sure he hated the children in orphanage but he pitied them.
That night Tom was not able to sleep. Kid's word was echoing in his head.
'You are nobody.'
'You are nobody'
'Am I nobody?' He questioned himself.
'Yes I am nobody and I want to be somebody. I want to be powerful. He muttered to himself and at that night he took a promises to himself that he would become somebody at any cost.
