Tom was in a small group, discussing rumors on the train. He snickered whenever the little kids would gasp or look worried, they were so fun to mess around with.
"You do now that Voldemort's actual name was Tom Riddle, right?" Tom said, looking at the first years. Obviously none of them knew that, but they had obviously easily made the connection between Voldemort's real name and Tom's name.
Tom stifled a laugh at their faces and said "You never know, I could actually be Voldemort in disguise or something."
Someone came up behind Tom and hit him hard in the back of the head with a book.
"Tom! Stop that!" Said Caroline, one of his friends.
Tom turned around, rubbing the back of his head. "What??"
"You need to stop making all of the first years think Hogwarts is a death trap before they even arrive." Caroline scolded. "Now, I'm going to go read the rest of this book. Please stop spreading rumors, Tom." She told him and walked off, leaving Tom alone to roll his eyes at her request.
