TOM RIDDLE? SAY WHAT?

Harry and Ron both dropped the books they were carrying. The books fell to the floor with a thud. Ron yelled loudly, "As in You-know-who?" he yelled as Hermione elbowed him.

The boy glared, "No, I don't know who." he snapped.

Hermione ignored that, "What did you say your name was again?" she asked, her face white.

"Tom. Tom Riddle, can't you hear properly?" he snapped looking annoyed.

Harry dropped his books again, "T-Tom Riddle?" he said hoarsely.

Now Tom looked extremely annoyed, "Yes! That's what I said for the last time! Is there some kind of problem?" he yelled, more annoyed then ever.

"There might be a big one…" Ron muttered under his breath.

Now Tom was looking at all of them like they were crazy, "Well I'm going to class." He announced turning around and walking the opposite direction. "Weirdos" he muttered as he walked away. Ron immediately turned to Hermione and Harry, his mouth gaping open like a fish.

"I-I can't believe…" Hermione trailed off, not knowing what to say.

"I can. I should've recognized him from Dumbledore's pensieve!" Harry said angrily.

"Well that's scary. That's really scary Eleven year old You-know who? How much scarier can you get?" Ron hyperventilated, "I mean I can't even believe he was actually a kid! And he doesn't even have a weird face or anything! I mean he just seems so short and so ordinary and so-so…" Ron stopped, not able to find the right word.

"Harmless? Innocent?" Harry suggested sourly.

"Well-well we'll just have to-to…Not make him suspicious! And try to avoid him if you can." Hermione concluded.

"But Hermione, what if we somehow-"Ron said getting cut off by Hermione.

"We're not killing him, if that's what you mean." Hermione interrupted sharply.

"No! No way! I just mean what if we tried to make him good or nice or at least not evil, or something like that? Teach him the ethics of life?" Ron suggested weakly, "Table manners at least?" he said cracking a smile.

Hermione laughed, "I doubt that would help him much. Besides we can't do anything to change the balance of time, even if it is doing a good thing. It could mess up something else!" she said firmly.

"But-" Ron said.

"No, Hermione's right." Harry interrupted, "We have to keep things like they are. No-no matter what the consequences are." He said dejectedly. The others looked sympathetically at him. They knew he was thinking of his parents. "Just try not to talk to him if you can avoid it. It should be easy since we're sixth years in Gryffindor and he's first year in Slytherin." They both nodded. "Well we better get to our class." Sighed Harry warily. So they headed of to their class, trying not to think of the little boy with the cold eyes.

Sorry wasn't too sure how to word it but hoped you like their reactions! Peace in! Weasley twins out!
