PARENTS ARE REMINDED THAT FIRST YEARS
ARE NOT ALLOWED THEIR OWN BROOMSTICK!
Squealing, looked up at her parents who were smiling at her and her sister, who was reading her own letter.
"I can't believe we're finally going to Hogwarts!"
Her mother laughed softly as she got out of her seat, picking up Serena's and her own plate that had once contained chocolate chip pancakes, looking over at her ecstatic daughter, "I bet this was a nice little birthday surprise for you Serena."
"You bet it was! Even Tom got her letter today!"
"Well it would make sense if they sent both our letters at the same time."
Tom got up, taking her's and her fathers plate, and putting them in the sink. Serena watched her sister for awhile, she seemed rather distant today, however she shook it off, just thinking that perhaps her sister was thinking of the new school.
"So what are we going to do today? Go out somewhere nice for my Birthday meal?"
Laughing her father stood up and stretched, "Anything you want darling, it's you birthday after all. Now why don't you and your sister go upstairs get washed and dressed and ready to go out."
Serena smiled and nodded her head vigorously before racing up stairs. Tom however, was more hesitant, lingering in the doorway she turned back to face her father.
"...Dad?"
Looking up the man smiled at her,"Yes sweetpea?"
Tom hesitantly made her way back over to him
"I have a question… about my letter…" she trailed off.
Her fathers eyes crinkled slightly, tilting his head to the side in curiosity, "Oh?"
"Well it's just… Mine doesn't say for Tomika Jones, but for Tomika Riddle… I know I'm adopted and stuff, but surely they would have changed my name to yours?"
Her father sighed as he thought about. "To be honest Tommie, I can't say I really know, I would of assumed that it would of automatically changed, perhaps you should ask your mother about it? And if she doesn't know then you can always ask a teacher at school."
Tom nodded slightly and gave her father a smile and a cuddle before heading upstairs.
Damien Jones was your average everyday man, and a brilliant father to his two wonderful girls, he was what some would call a 'muggle' but of course he knew all about magic from his lovely wife.
Katrina Jones wasn't quite your average everyday woman, but she was a wonderful mother to her two perfect little girls, she was what you would call a 'witch', and like all witches and wizards alike she knew of the darkness that threatened her world.
She was a pureblood, and as a pureblood she was expected to marry a pureblooded wizard, however things didn't go quite as planned as she ran away from her family and fell in love with the most extraordinary man, not caring for even a second that he was a muggle.
Soon they were married and were expecting a baby, they brought a house located in the country, the perfect spot to raise children, soon after little baby Serena was born.
When Serena turned two they decided that it was time to have another baby, of course they asked their daughter how she would feel about having a little sibling to play with, and of course the little hyper two year old was frilled with the idea.
However it was soon proved to be impossible as Katrina soon found she could no longer bear children, and that it was a miracle she even had Serena.
After hearing this news she felt heartbroken, but was more than grateful for having Serena. But she wasn't deteriorated for long, as a few months later she suggested to Damien that they should adopt, he thought it was a brilliant idea, and the long process of being able to adopt began.
When Serena turned four, they finally had all legal rights to go out and adopt.
Katrina didn't know what exactly she was looking for but as they searched through records of young children needing homes, none of them seemed to fit right, it was like her subconscious knew what particular child she wanted and wasn't going to rest till she found them.
Finally months and months of searching she found her.
Tomika Mariska Riddle.
She knew exactly who her father was the moment she read the girls last name, she was one of the few who knew the Dark Lord before he… changed. Her family had been big supporters of him, it was one of the reason why she left her family behind.
But she didn't care about the little girls father, the moment she saw the picture she fell in love with the little girl, at long last she had finally found another baby to treasure, the next day they all went to adopt the girl.
It didn't faze her for even a second when the little girl told them she had a pet snake and if it was ok if she could keep her.
She didn't care that the little girl could command animals and get them to do what she wanted.
None of that mattered to her. To them, both parents couldn't be more proud, even Serena loved her little sister, she loved being a big sister, even if her little sister was a bit of a tomboy, they both enjoyed spending time together.
And Tom was as happy as she had ever been with her new family, she still kept in contact with her friends from the orphanage who not long after she left also were adopted.
A little later in the morning, after getting washed and dressed. Tomikas curiosity had gotten the best of her, she had been dwelling on the conversation she and her father had previously, regarding her last name.
The girl could remember it clearly and although she loved her family, hearing that last name made her feel out of place, amongst other emotions.
So Tomika came to the conclusion to question her mother about it. Tomika was helping her mother with the dishes after they had breakfast. Serena and her father had disappeared, possibly doing their own thing. This left Tomika and Katrina alone to talk and it was at that moment the young girl had decided to ask,
"Hey...Mom?" Tomika began, blue eyes glancing up at the older woman.
Katrina threw the dishcloth into the sink, chuckling as the water splashed up. Katrina proceeded to then turn her attention to Tomika, smiling gently at the girl she replied, "Yes dear what is it?"
Katrina waited for the question, head tilted slightly inquiring what the other wanted.
Tomika placed down the towel she was using to dry the dishes and turned to face her mother, the girl chewed the inside of her cheek as an uncomfortable feeling rose in the pit of her stomach she knew more than anyone she had nothing to fear from this simple question but somehow she couldn't stop the uneasy feeling.
Tomika had always known she was different from the others, it had nothing to do with the fact she was a witch, it was the fact she could do things not many could. Talking to snakes happened to be one and the fact that most used to avoid her like the plague, except for the few friends she had made in the orphanage.
Somehow, though the girl had a feeling this had something to do with her last name and the family she had before the orphanage.
Taking a deep breath she finally asked the desired question. "I just wanted to ask you something, about my last name"
Tomika paused for a moment taking in her mother's reaction, an uneasy look appeared on her features which was quickly replaced with a smile.
Straightening herself, the lady asked, "What about your last name?" Tomika continued, hoping she would get her answer.
"How come I'm still called 'Riddle?' I tried asking Dad but he said you had the answer" Tomika finally asked, relieved to have gotten the question off her chest, as she awaited her mother's response her mouth formed into a thin line, like she wanted to say something but was holding back.
Nodding her head, Tomikas mother prepared her answer. "Wait there, I want to give you something" Tomikas mother left the room for a moment, only to return later with a letter in hand.
"This is for you but I ask you not to open it yet" Tomika took the letter from her with a curious glance, "why can't I open it now?" She asked, her mother simply smiled. "It's too soon, you'll know when it's time" Tomika nodded at her mother's words, tucking the letter in her pocket.
"As for your last name, I'm not too certain why it hasn't been changed, perhaps try asking a teacher at school?" Her mother suggested, as if avoiding the question, Tomika let out a sigh having not got her answer again,
"Alright, thank you mother" she replied, smiling gently, earning a nod from the older woman.
"No worries, sweetie" she replied, leaning down to hug the child.
-A few months later-
As time passed, it soon reached the 1st of September, marking the day where both girls would start their first year of Hogwarts, Serena especially had been excited about this day, chiming over the uniforms and gushing over absolutely everything written in the letter they received a few months ago.
Tomika, however couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive about the whole situation, this would be the first time she spent away from her parents, the first time she spent away from home, she didn't understand how her sister could be so happy.
In her hand the raven haired girl took a look at the unopened letter she had received from her mother, the day she had questioned why she still had her last name.
An overwhelming urge hit her, making her want to open the letter she wasn't allowed to read, at least not yet, the time didn't feel right and her mother did tell her she'd know when the time Is right.
Speaking of which, "Girls are you done packing?"
The unmistakable voice of Katrina Jones had called from the bottom of the stairs, Serena was the first to react zipping her blue suitcase shut.
The girl turned to her sister practically radiating with glee, "I'm all done!" She called back cheerily, before addressing Tomika.
"C'mon Tommie! this is gonna be great!" Serena had taken upon herself to dub Tomika with the nickname 'Tommie' rather than 'Tom' to which she didn't particularly mind.
What she couldn't understand was how excitable the other was being. "Aren't you nervous?"
Tomika questioned her, quirking an eyebrow, she couldn't shake the sickly feeling forming in the pit of her stomach like an acid, the feeling made her dread going to the school.
"Of course I am, silly! But I'm more excited then I am scared, I mean not everyone gets to go to a school like Hogwarts!" The girl replied joy evident in her voice.
Tomika smiled a little nodding her head. "Besides, aren't you excited too?" Serena added frowning a little at the thought of Tomika not being able to enjoy herself, Tomika couldn't help but chuckle a little of course she was excited but more nervous than anything else, just the reality of starting a new school was enough to frighten any kid.
Perhaps it hadn't quite hit her older sister that they would be living at the very school they were accepted in and the only form of communication they'd have with their parents were through letters.
It was that thought that frightened Tomika but she wouldn't let Serena know that, "Of course I am!" She replied, adding enthusiasm to her voice as if trying to convince her sister.
When hearing this Serena's frown turned into a bright grin, "Good! When you're finished packing, meet me downstairs, okay?"
Serena told her sister, not bothering to wait for a response as she bombarded downstairs her suitcase clanking behind her with each step, eventually a soft thud could be heard as Serena reached the bottom, the sound of chartering could be heard.
Tomika was left alone to finish packing, luckily she hadn't much to do, just a few belongings she wanted to take with her. Looking back down at her hand, she caught sight of the letter again, letting out a small sigh as she placed it on top of her clothing and zipped the suitcase shut.
That seemed to conclude everything Tomika wanted to bring and everything she needed, there was only one thing to do now and that was say goodbye. Turning she walked over to where Dakota's tank was.
~Hey Dakota... I'm leaving today... I wish I could bring you.~
~I know hatchling, I wish I could be there with you too. At least I will be here when you get back.~
Tom gave Dakota a sad smile, reaching into her tank to stroke her scales before turning and grabbing her trunk.
Tomika headed downstairs, her suitcase clanking softly behind her, well softer than her sisters loud thudding.
When reaching the bottom she found her family had migrated into the hallway somehow, there was no mistaking the shrill voice belonging to her sister as she began gushing about the school yet again.
Following the sound Tomika found herself in the hallway, both parents laughing at Serena's antics, when they heard Tomika approach them all eyes seemed to fall on her.
Her father was the first to approach the girl, "You have everything you need, right?" He questioned, taking a moment to check the suitcase behind her. "Yes father" Tomika replied a small smile gracing her lips, he smiled warmly at the young girl before ruffling her hair.
"Very good, your mother and I are so proud of you...both of you!" At his words both Serena and Katrina approached the girl, all smiling.
Katrina spoke next. "We just know you'll have a great time at Hogwarts!" She continued, remaining optimistic, though there was no doubt both parents would miss their children.
Tomika nodded, "I know we will " she replied, seemingly feeling a little better.
"You'll remember what I said, about the letter okay?" Her mother questioned, Tomika smiled, "Don't worry, I'll remember" she assured the woman.
Katrina nodded, "That's my girl!" She chimed, moving forward to embrace her, to which Tomika gladly returned the embrace.
"Well you two, we had better be going, before you both miss your train!" Her father cut in, checking his watch for the time, Serena's eyes seems to budge out of her sockets upon hearing this, "Oh yes! I forgot we're going on a train! We've never been on one before I'm so excited!" The girl exclaimed, linking arms with Tomika.
Both parents chucked. "Alright, lets get your luggage loaded in the car then we better be of." her mother urged, not wanting to keep them any longer, in case there really are late.
Once everything was loaded into the car, they finally pulled away from their home and off to the train station.
All the while Serena happily talked about how much she was looking forward to her lessons, whilst Tomika looked out the window, thinking back to the day her and her sister went to Diagon Alley
#Flashback#
# Two week prior to the sister leaving for Hogwarts there father (who was on his way to work) dropped them off in the centre of london.
"Now remember Serena, call me when you need me to pick you up or if there's any trouble," as he said this he handed his eldest daughter a mobile phone for her to use when needed, then turning to face his youngest daughter he asked.
"Do you still have the 'money' your mother gave you both for your supplies?"
Tom nodded before giving her dad a hug, pulling away she got out of the car and was soon followed by Serena.
"Ok, I'll see you two later." And with that he was gone, leaving the two girls behind.
Tomikas got out of her pocket a piece of paper, "Says here we got to go to Diagon Alley."
Tomika mentioned after spending a fair few moments wondering about, Serena stopped in her tracks.
"I know, I know but where is Diagon Alley?" Serena asked, her arms crossing over her chest, "Well we have been provided directions so..." At Tomikas word Serena gasped, "We had directions Tommie why didn't you tell me?" Serena exclaimed, grabbing the girl by the shoulders.
Tomika raised a brow." I did" she said simply, offering a shrug at the girls surprise.
Serena was stunned into silence, "Oh, well...after you" Serena replied with a sheepish smile.
With Tomika leading the way the girls found themselves standing outside a rather downtrodden looking pub.
Tom looked back at the piece of paper she held in her hands, "It says that the entrance is through this pub and out the back… maybe we should ask someone inside?"
Serena looked suspiciously at the pub, grabbing hold of her sisters hand and pulling the girl slightly behind her they made their way inside.
It was rather empty, a few people here and there. Tom was looking around curiously, having never been in such an establishment before, however Serena seemed a little more hesitant to be in the grubby little pub.
Hearing laughter Tom looked over towards a table to see a few men and woman laughing, all of them wearing blue robes, however there was one man who wasn't laughing and was looking at Tom, she felt her eyes widen as she took in his appearance, his face was heavily lined with scars and he appeared to be leaning on a cane, however what shocked her the most was his eye, or rather his fake eye, she felt like it was staring right through her.
The man tilted his head in the girls direction before turning back to the other people in his group, it was at that point Serena began pulling her towards the front of the bar.
There was only one customer at the bar, and Serena thought he seemed a little creepy, so tried to keep Tommie away from him and cleared her throat to get the barman's attention.
Tom (the bartender) looked up and at the girl, smiling at her gently. "Shopping for your hogwarts' things?" Both girls nodded.
Tomika looked out the corner of her eyes to the man sitting on the stool, she was getting a funny feeling from him, like she knew him from somewhere.
But she was almost certain she didn't, as she didn't know any men who wore turbans on their heads.
Turning back to face the bartender, she saw from the corner of her eye as the man glanced over at her and froze, she looked over curiously to see him looking at her with shock, before he quickly masked his expression, before Tom could do or say anything Serena ended her conversation with the barman, giving her thanks she began pulling Tom away.
"Come on Tommie we can finally get our things."
Outside the back was a small little area that was bricked off. Tomika looked at her grinning sister with raised eyebrows.
"Is this supposed to be a joke?"
Serena chose to ignore her sister, except for rolling her eyes at her, and moved towards the brick wall, and tapping it in the pattern that the bartender had told her, revealing one of the most coolest sights the sisters had ever seen, Diagon Alley.
Deciding to get all the things they needed first before looking around, the set of to get their equipment, after an hour of finally getting everything (and Tom convincing Serena that a gold pot for potions was a bad idea and too expensive) they made their way over to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions.
Inside the girls were fitted for the robes. Serena smiled happily at the two women who came over to measure them for the clothes. "Hi, umm, are mum said to make sure we get three of everything for Hogwarts."
The two woman nodded and began measuring them, and bringing out some skirts and dresses before Tomika spoke up.
"And do you think its possible to get some trousers too?"
The woman looked at her a little shocked. "W-we don't have any trousers for girls, the uniform policy for girls is to wear skirts or dresses."
Tom let out a disappointed sigh, "Alright never mind then."
Once they were fitted and had purchased their clothes the next shop they headed to was The Magical Menagerie pet store, both girls decided to split up as they searched the store.
Tom's mother said she wasn't allowed to take Dakota to school in case she scared someone, so she was allowed to chose another pet to take, she looked over at the owls, knowing her and her sister will need one if they wanted to write to their parents.
She was torn between two owls, one was a snowy white owl with a few specks of dark feathers while the other was a pitch black owl with a few light feathers, after looking between the two she decided to go for the dark one, stroking the head of the white one she muttered a "sorry girl" a hoot of assurance was her reply.
Placing the dark owl on her shoulders she began picking up the things she'll need and then went over to the cashier to wait for her sister.
Serena had figured that Tommie would chose an owl, seeing as she already had her own pet, so Serena had decided she wanted to have a kitten, she would of had a puppy too but they aren't allowed to be taken to the school for some odd reason.
As she looked over them she finally found the perfect one, a little white kitten in a cage on her own was chasing her tail around, she had the most cutest pink nose and bright green eyes.
Reaching inside the cage she pulled the kitten it looked at her before meowing and then began to purr; also picking up some things for her kitten including a golden collar, she made her way over to where her sister was waiting with a black owl.
Next was wands, this is where they found themselves in Ollivanders, the place was stacked up to the roof with boxes of wands, the girls placed their animal cages and bags on the floor to one side and began looking around at the wands, wondering what they were supposed to do.
"Ahh," A voice said causing them to jump, "Miss. Jones and Miss… Riddle… I have been expecting you both."
Tom pretended she didn't hear the hesitation when the strange man said her last name.
"Shall we start with you Miss. Jones, seeing as you're the oldest." As he said that a tape measure came flying out and began measuring the length of Serena's arms, hands, fingers, and even the space between her eyes.
"That's enough I think, come up here child and lets see what wand picks you."
Walking forward, Serena picks up the wand that Ollivander laid out before her, giving a swish nothing happened, it was soon snatched back and switched.
This happened three more times till finally a smooth white wand was placed in front of her, picking it up she felt warmth travel through her, and silver and purple sparks shot out of the wand like fireworks.
"Ahh, unicorn tail hair, 12½ inches pinewood, yes quite a lovely wand, excellent for charms and transfiguration."
Serena grinned and stepped back allowing her sister to take her turn.
Tomika stepped nervously towards the man, unlike her sister she didn't have the tape measure try and measure every part of her.
Also unlike her sister who found her wand in her first couple of go's, she had gone through at least ten before she felt like giving up.
"Hmm," Looking up, she stared into the almost clear blue eyes of the wandmaker as he said, "I wonder."
Both girls watched as he disappeared into the back of the shop, both girls shared a look, he came back holding a rather dusty box's. Opening the box he gently took the wand out and examined it, "Yew, 13 ½ inches, thestral hair core… A very interesting mixture indeed." His clear eyes locked onto Tom's sky blue.
Slowly he held out the wand, and just as slowly Tom reached out to grab it.
She felt the power of the wand travel through her as she tightened her grip around, there was a slight breeze around her as green and silver sparks shot out the wand. She looked back up at the other man whose expression had become unreadable.
"Hmm… 13½ inches yew… just like your father."
Both Tom and Serena's eyes widened at that little revelation, Serena looked over at her sister wondering if she would say anything, however when she just reached out and handed the money over for the wands and turned back to get her owl and other school supplies she realised she wasn't going to reply.
Turning to the wandmaker Serena offered him a smile as she said her thank you's and goodbyes.#
#End of flashback#
She could barely believe that was two weeks ago, now there were off going to school, she looked at Poe who gave a little hoot in his cage, "Don't worry boy," she said to the owl softly "We will be there soon, and then you can stretch your wings." the owl replied with a joyful hoot.
"Hey Tommie look! We're here, we're here!"
And indeed they were.
As the car pulled up in the designated train station, the family proceeded to get out of the car. When the girls had returned from Diagon Alley, their parents noticed a
Tomika kept hold of her owl cage as her dad grabbed her trunk, she was still put out that her snake Dakota the very one who had been with her for so long, going way back to when she was in the orphanage, could not come with her, at least she had Poe; whilst Serena, carried her little white kitten.
"I see you girls have everything you need, right?" Her father remarked, helping the girls take their belongings out of the back of the car and load them onto a luggage carrier.
Tomika gave a firm nod of the head, clutching her new wand in her hand, as if she couldn't believe this was happening.
"Yes father, for some reason it took me ages to get my wand" Tomika mentioned idly, sounding somewhat distracted showing her father the wand that had chosen her. Serena peeked over, raising an eyebrow at the peculiar wand before turning her head back towards her mother in an attempt to engage in conversation.
Her father simply reassured the girl that perhaps it was for the best, to which Tomika had no choice but to accept that, she didn't know why but she found herself wondering why this one… just like your father he said… what did he mean, did he know him?
Eventually, both parents had decided to head towards the platform area, having retrieved all their belongings from the car both girls followed them.
As they entered the platform the children's eyes wondered, taking in everything they could with pure glee, having not been to a train station before this was all very new and exciting. However, Tomika was quick to pick up on something, "Our platform it's not there" she mentioned pointing over to number 9, the platform they had to get on was platform 9¾ and it was nowhere in sight.
Serena's breath hitched as she realized this, she clutched at her sisters uniform dramatically. "Oh no! What if the train left without us! What if they changed their minds what if-" before the girls suspicions could be addressed, her mother cut in.
"Relax, dear! I know this is all new to the both of you but you got to trust is on what were about to say next" Both children nodded as their mother smiled.
Facing a wall directly opposite them, she turned to the children, her father shot her a knowing smile. "Okay, you see that wall In front of us?" She questioned, with a slight grin, both girls nodded wondering where she was going with this.
"I want you to follow my lead and walk through it" at her mother's words, Serena's mouth hung agape like a goldfish.
"You what? That's a wall right there, mother! I don't think we can walk through it" Serena exclaimed, giving her mother a look that one would give a crazy person. "Not normally, however with a little bit of magic..." Her mother trailed off, sending a grin towards both girls, Tomika returned her grin knowingly, whilst Serena let out an 'oooohhh." nodding her head.
The family headed towards the wall and like their mother had suggested they were able to pass through with no problem. Tomika blinked, she couldn't help but find the experience a little weird being her first time traveling in such away, however what she saw next awestrucked the child.
The train station resembled one that 'muggles' would use but had a magic feel to it.
It appeared she wasn't the only one awestruck by this magical place. Serena gazed in wonder as witches and wizards of every kind bid farewell to their children, Purebloods, Half-bloods, Muggleborn.
They were all here and all going to the same school as she and her sister, that alone was
exciting enough for Serena.
As both stared in wonder, they turned to give each other knowing glances as they awaited the adventures ahead of them.
Their father began pushing the cart of luggage towards the train, and began helping load them on the train for the girls, both kept hold of their new pet cages.
Tom gave her mum a somewhat worried look, "You will look after Dakota won't you?"
Her smiled and pulled her into a tight hug, "Of course sweetheart."
Tom looked up at her mum, her eyes were filling up with tears but she refused to let them fall. "I'll write every day."
"And so will we."
As she pulled away from her mum she turned to hug her dad, Serena went to hug her mum as well.
Once the little family had finally said their goodbyes the girls got on the train just as it was about to leave, both waved at their parents till they could no longer be seen.
"Come on Tommie lets get find a seat."
They finally found an empty compartment just in the middle of the train, once the doors were closed they let the animals out of there cages, both looked out the window and began contemplating the year ahead.
To. Be. Continued.
