1930 October 31

Tom Marvolo Riddle was not an ordinary boy, even at three years old. All of the children and adults at the London Orphanage knew this; they saw proof on a regular basis. At just three even a war-hardened adult could only spend so much time with him before bolting in terror. Because of his abnormality he had no friends but that didn't matter since he never seemed to want any in the first place.

So absolutely nobody expected his reaction when a one boy was found on the doorstep of the orphanage with only a blanket.

The matron was sad to see the child abandoned like that, he looked so innocent wrapped up sleeping, a little angel. The only thing they had to identify him with was a name stitched into the cloth but even that only told them his first name was Harrison due to the rest falling apart.

Tom was the first child to see the baby who was a mere two years younger than him and just like the matron his heart melted at first sight. Harrison was the only person who had ever managed or would ever manage to get Tom Riddle to care even the slightest bit about another.

After seeing young Tom's reaction to the baby the matron decided that Harrison would be a good influence on him and gave the baby the surname Thomson to create an even stronger bond between the two, not that it was needed of course, Tom was obsessed with the little boy. Previously Tom would fuss if he were forced to be around others for a prolonged period of time but in regards to Harrison he practically refused to be separated for more than a minute.

That was the beginning of Harrison Thomson's life at the orphanage but there was still far, far more to come. After all having Tom as an older brother would turn out to be very interesting, especially with the amount of possessiveness he felt for the younger boy.
