The True Riddle
-Chapter Three : New Friends-
:Ollivanders Wand Shop, wand makers since 382 B.C.:
"Well, it looks like you found your wand", she looked at Tom
with a smile.
"What about your dad?", Tom asked.
"He's already retired, And I think he'd be happy that his greatest
piece of work has been given to someone that will put it to good
use", and again she gave Tom that smile of hers.
Tom thanked her for the wand and helped her place the other
wands back on the shelf before heading toward the door to leave.
"Oh, before you go could you tell me your name?", Lyra asked.
Tom stopped and turned around, "It's Thomas", he said, "Thomas Riddle".
"I'll see you around, till next time Thomas", and with that Lyra returned
to the back of the shop and Thomas went back to the marvels of
Diagon Alley.
:Diagon Alley:
Tom walked out of Ollivanders with his newly acquired Yew & Phoenix
feather Wand. He was now one step closer to Hogwarts, a home
he was truly destined for. As Tom walked on, he noticed the shops
he went by.
One shop was filled with assortments of animals next to what looked
to be a broom store. He noted a book store, a store the lined it's windows
with assortments of trinkets, and still in the distance was that towering
building with it's strange creatures.
"Lookout!" a voice yelled
Tom turned just in time to get out of the way of a run-away broomstick
that managed to imbed itself in the brick wall behind Tom. 'Cleansweep
One' the broom read. A boy runs over to Tom and the broom.
"Sorry about that, first time I've..."
"You could have killed me.", Tom interjected calmly while noting the
other boys appearance.
The boy's clothes were quite fine tailored, his skin as white as milk,
and a haircut that furthur expressed the boy's wealth. Even the broom
that the boy had apparantly been playing with looked to be of a cost
that Tom wouldn't even try to fathom.
"Excuse me, but what is your name boy?" the other boy asked, apparently
annoyed at being interupted.
"Tom, and yours?", Tom says to the boy.
"Me?... Lestrange", the Lestrange boy said.
"Lestrange?", Tom said quizzically.
"Yeah; Lestrange, Lester Lestrange. Have a problem with it?", the Lestrange
boy barked.
"Lester.. Lestrange...", Tom couldn't help but chuckle slightly at the name.
Tom quickly composed himself, "No, no problem at all, just sounds a little...
'strange'...", Tom finished.
The boy stared at Tom for a moment, until finally, "Yeah, it is pretty strange,
parents say that it's an old name", Lester said before holding out his hand
to shake.
Tom took hold of the boys hand in a shake, "Friends just call me L", Lester
added.
After conversing for a short period Tom began to depart, "It's nice meeting
you, but I have to continue getting supplies for Hogwarts".
"Your going to Hogwarts? Me too, this'll be my first year; you?, L asked.
"Yeah, my first year", answered Tom.
"Were is next on your list? I'm headed to get my cauldron now", said L.
"To tell you the truth, I wasn't sure what to get next. All I've gotten so far
is my Wand", expressed Tom.
"Only your wand?!?!", Lester exclaimed. "Come with me, were going
to get you supplies", L grabbed Tom by the Arm and raced off down
Diagon Alley.
Finally stopping before a side alley Tom looked at the sign above, "Knockturn
Alley", it read.
