Chapter 4
Harrison and Tom sat on a small wooden bench, staring icily at the passing people. They were in an amusement park, of course forced. Neither of them liked to play, they'd rather read some more dark spell books, but Mary found them and took them away. The only way to get them back was to come to the amusement park. They were quite lucky that Mary found them, because if mrs. Cole found them she would call the police and told them they stole the books.
Harrison and Tom growled at the same time. They hated to sit on a bench without books, in the heat, looking at stupid, happy, playing children. Luckily, they had both their wands in their pockets, so they could curse everyone who dared to tease them until they begged for mercy.
After the first visit to Diagon Alley, Harrison and Tom bought many book, most of them dark magic books. They studied them and practiced them on the other children in the orphanage. After a year, they could keep up with average wizards and even with the purebloods. They knew the etiquettes and almost all the pureblood families, but haven't met them yet. They also trained their magic and that was far from average. They mastered the darkest arts and everything till Hogwarts year 7. The books of that year was taken, unfortunately.
' How long until we can go back?' Harrison asked.
Tom looked at his watch and answered. ' 4 hours.' Harrison sighed.
' What are we going to do? I can't sit here and wait 4 hours!'
' Well, it could improve you patience.' Tom grinned, while Harrison rolled his eyes.
' Ah! Sorry can I sit here?' asked a man with a silver beard and half-moon spectacles who looked in his fifties. Tom nodded. The sat on the empty place and Tom and Harrison studied the man. The man wore an elegant outfit until you saw his tie. The tie was orange punctuated. Harrison and Tom both grinned a bit at the tie.
The man took something out of his pockets and looked at Harrison and Tom.
' Want a lemon sherbet?' The man offered. Harrison shook no and Tom answered politely. ' No, thank you. We may not take things from stranger.' The man nodded in understanding. ' Well, that's wise.' He put the Lemon sherbets in his pocket.
' Nice weather.' The old man began. Tom and Harrison didn't answer.
' Don't you think?' Tom and Harrison looked at each other. Tom saw a it's up to you hint in Harrison's eyes, he began to speak. ' Yes, very nice. What's your name if I may ask?' The man smiled friendly.
' Of course, my boys.' Harrison frowned at how the man had called them so familiar. He didn't even know them.
' My name's Albus. Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. Nice to meet you. What are your names?'
Tom thought about if he should tell him their names or not. He was a stranger, but Tom also could tell that the odd man wasn't lying about his own name. Telling their names couldn't be wrong, right?
' I'm Tom Riddle and' Tom pointed at Harrison.' this is Harrison Collins.' The man looked at them with twinkling blue eyes.
'What are you doing here? You look a bit to old, to play here.' Tom looked at him curiously.
' Ah! I'm waiting for a friend. Horace Slughorn. He likes amusement parks.' Dumbledore answered. Tom and Harrison looked at each other. Dumbledore knew Slughorn and they came on the conclusion that this man was also a wizard.
' You're also a wizard.' Harrison stated. Dumbledore raised a brow.
' Yes, I'm. It seems like you two are wizards too.' Dumbledore said casually. Harrison and Tom nodded. The boring day had changed to an interesting day.
' Ah! Albus! Here you are.' The voice came behind them and all of them turned. They saw a fat man who was dressed in robed.
' Horace.' Dumbledore said against his friend. Horace looked happy at him as always and then saw Harrison and Tom.
' Hmm... I know you! You were the ones in the leaky cauldron. You live in that orphanage right? Wole's... Woel...Wool's. Yes Wool's Orphanage.' Tom and Harrison looked icily at him. They hated to be remembered to that orphanage.
' Orphanage?' Dumbledore was deep in thought.
' Yes. We live in that orphanage since.. we were 1.' Tom said furiously. Most of the people think the same about orphans. They're poor and stupid. They are like the others Tom and Harrison both thought.
Slughorn was silent and Harrison and Tom looked at Dumbledore. He looked back at them, especially at Harrison. After a few seconds, Harrison felt something hit his occlumency wall. Harrison frowned and looked furiously at Dumbledore who was still trying to get the wall down.
' I appreciate it ' Harrison hissed angry.' if you don't interfere my mind.'
Dumbledore looked surprised. He didn't know the boy knew about occlumency. Perhaps, he made a mistake, thinking Harrison was weak.
' You know about occlumency?' Dumbledore asked a bit nervously.
Tom also knew what happened to Harrison when they talked about occlumency and also looked furious.
' You're really pathetic.' Tom lost his patience and took out his wand.
' Cr-' Harrison interupted. ' He isn't worth it.' Harrison looked icily at Dumbledore who looked shocked at Tom. He knew what Tom wanted to say and couldn't believe Tom a 9 years old boy knew that horrible spell. He had no doubt it worked.
Slughorn still stood there frozen. ' Let's go.' Harrison grabbed Tom's hand and walked away, not staring back at them.
When they were sure they couldn't see the two other wizards anymore, Tom muttered.
'Why did you stop me? He hurt you. He used occlumency.'
' Tom, don't underestimate someone. After all, they were 2 adults who had more experience. And also we will get the old goat back, I swear.' Harrison smiled evilly.
' Make sure you do.' They went to another bench and made plans to kill the old man.
