(ok this is my first story so far, so go easy on me, more chapters to come,i promise)
Tom Marvolo Riddle was a good child, in the beginning though. His father though changes him. Tom was the child of a witch and a muggle. Muggles are non-magic folk by-the-way. Tom's father found out that the wife he married, the wife he loved was a witch when she was pregnant with Tom. Tom, Tom Riddle's father, stayed with his wife even though if anyone were to find out about this it could only mean death. The family moved into a house on top a hill, a mansion more like. Tom was raised well loving parents, a wonderful home. Tom attended Hogwarts School when he was 11. His first year went great, but come his second year at Hogwarts, Tom's mother; passed away. His father blamed Tom for her death.
"You stupid child, if it wasn't for you your mother would still be alive and well!" Mr. Riddle said as he hit Tom up-side the head.
"But father it wasn't my fault! She jumped in front of the car to save me" Tom began to cry.
"You foolish child if you weren't in the street playing she wouldn't have had to save you now would she?" Tom's father began to pace like he usually did ever since the accident. It was mid November when Tom was outside playing with the family dog when he ran in the street to get a ball. Tom's mother happened to look outside at the moment and ran for Tom to stop him. A car came out of nowhere, she dove in front of the car and was hit instead of Tom.
"Father I am sorry please stop yelling at me, I didn't mean to hurt you." He cried harder and ran into his father's arms. Mr. Riddle buckled and held Tom.
"No Tom I am sorry that I blamed you, it happened 3 months ago and I still can't over come it."
"Father I understand…." The two of them held each other for hours. But this wasn't the first time that they had fought over this, on no. Mr. Riddle started drinking after his wife's death and each time if Tom was around a fight started. Hogwarts was Tom's only true home.
"Tom chea'r up fell'o." Hagrid said. Hagrid was one of Tom's friends at Hogwarts he was in Gryffindor house, Tom was in Slytherin though. Some of Tom's other friends were Professor Albus Dumbledore, the Deputy Headmaster at Hogwarts. And then there was the new Slytherin, Kida Nile. She was a second year like Tom, long red hair and bright blue eyes.
"Hello Tom, how are you today?" Kida asked with her usual polite smile.
"I'm fine now Kida thanks for asking" Tom blushed.
"I know that home life hasn't been great for you. Remember you could always come over to my house, my mother wouldn't mind at all." Kida hugged her friend good-bye and went off to class.
"Tom ol' fell'a somebody likes ya."Hagired said with a laugh.
"Stop it Hagrid, Ms. Nile couldn't possibly like me. Could she?"
