Today when I woke up Mrs Cole was bringing in my breakfast on a tray and putting it down on my desk and jumped with fright as I sat up in my bed which creaked whenever I moved.

"Ah Clara you gave me a fright there"Mrs Cole said pretending to smile and laugh to make it seem as though she was not scared but I could see straight through her so I did not smile back it was probably better for her to be scared of me than friendly with me.Mrs Cole regained herself realizing that I had taken no notice of what she had said so she stood as tall as her 5,6 frame would allow her as her grey hair gleamed in the morning light.

"You are to stay in your room for the rest of this week, Lily and her friends are saying you are not being very nice to them."Mrs Cole began moving closer to my face so that we were inches apart and all I could see is the scowl on her face."Understand Miss Pevensie that we do not tolerate bullying of any form in this orphanage"She spat out my name like it was revolting but I took no notice at eleven years of age I was getting better at hiding my emoticons unless I wanted someone to see them they wouldn't. I sat there quietly in my bed as waiting for Mrs Cole to leave and lock the door.I got up putting on a white dress with black leather shoes before brushing my hair so that the brown waves fell down nicely.

I walked over to the desk looking at what I had for breakfast and wrinkling my nose at the smell of it.A knock came to my door shortly before it opened.Revealing Tom who stood at my door but didn't enter as I stood in shock.

"How did you open the door?"I asked frowning at him.

"We're different we can do things that the others cant"He said but he didn't enter my room.

"Tom you can come in you know I am not going to bite"I said and put my tray of food on the window sill as he came in and sat on my bed as I grabbed my game of dice.

"Do you know how to play dice?"I asked as I sat down onto the bed in front of him and took the dice out of a jar and placed them on the bed.

"No?"Tom said giving me a questioning look as I smiled.

"Ok so first of all you pick both the dice up in your hands and then you shake and roll,someone keeps score and whoever gets the most wins."I said and Tom nodded picking up the dice,shaking them and then letting them roll.

"Did I do it right?"Tom asked and I smiled and nodded.

"I don't know a way that it could go wrong"I said and picked up my notebook and pen and wrote down Toms score and then splitting the page up into two so that one column could be mine and the other Toms.I then put the notebook down beside me and picked up the dice,shook and rolled getting a score of 5 whereas Tom got 9.

"Your really good at this"I said as Tom got yet another high score which ended up being higher than mine again.

"Well I learnt from the best"Tom joked and I laughed but stopped when I heard Mrs Cole talking to someone.

"What do we do?"I whispered and Tom put a finger to his lips and ran back to his room which was just opposite mine.

"Close the door and I will leave mine open ok?"Tom whispered from across the hallway and I nodded as he sat down on his bed giving me one last worried look before I closed my door, it was not long before I heard the footsteps of Mrs Cole.

"I must admit I had some confusion when I received your letter Mr Dumbledore in all the years Toms been here he has never once had a family visitor,there have been incidences with the other children,nasty things."Mrs Cole explained as she walked closer to his door.

"Tom you have a visitor"Mrs Cole said after knocking on the wooden green door and leaving Mr Dumbledore with Tom.

"How do you do Tom?"Dumbledore said as he walked into Toms room about to close the door but Tom was not about to break his promise.

"Don't"Tom said.

"Your the doctor aren't you?"Tom continued.

"No I am a professor"Dumbledore said as I put my ear against the door hearing the muffled voices.

"I don't believe you,she wants me looked at,they think I am different"Tom replied.

"Well perhaps they are right"Dumbledore replied.

"I am not mad"Tom said.

"Hogwarts is not a place for mad people,Hogwarts is a school a school of magic,you can do things cant you Tom?Things that other children cant"Dumbledore said.

"I can make things move without touching them,I can make animals do what I want without training them,I can make bad things happen to people who are mean to me,I can make them hurt if I want.Who are you?"Tom replied and it instantly took me back to the incident yesterday when Tom had helped me by making the other girls run away I would have to ask why they were so afraid of him.

"Well I am like you Tom I am different"Dumbledore replied.

"Prove it"Tom said and I heard the roar of flames.

"I think there is something in your wardrobe trying to get out Tom"Dumbledore said and as soon as Tom took out the object which was trying to get out of his wardrobe he placed it on the bed and the closet slammed shut and the flames stopped.

"Thievery is not tolerated at Hogwarts Tom but at Hogwarts Tom you will be taught not only how to use magic but how to control it.Do you understand me?"Dumbledore said.

"I can speak to snakes too,they find me,whisper things,is that normal for someone like me?"Tom asked as Dumbledore left the room but stopped outside of Toms room.

"Who is in this room?"Dumbledore asked completely avoiding Toms earlier question.

"My friend"Tom replied.

"Can I see her do you think she will let me?"Dumbledore asked.

"I don't know"Tom replied as Dumbledore opened my door reveling me trying to gulp down my slop with a glass of water.

"Hello whats your name?"Dumbledore asked as he walked into my room with Tom looking worried behind him.

"C-Clara"I replied putting my water down as Dumbledore sat on my bed.

"I heard your friends with Tom"He said as Tom looked frozen in his room only being able to watch as things unfolded before him.

"I am"I replied scared to death of what he would do to me if I put a toe out of line.

"Well I can sense that you are like me and Tom your different,so how would you like to come away from here to a school called Hogwarts how would you like that?"Dumbledore asked and I took a quick glance at Tom who was still frozen.

"I would like that very much professor"I said in a sweet polite voice.

"Good a letter will arrive for you both by next Monday along with what you will need equipment and uniform basic items really"Dumbledore said standing and leaving me and Tom alone is our rooms our doors wide open.
