As every student exited the train, reporters and photographers scanned the area, searching for the man himself, Tom Riddle.
Each of them was hoping and wishing that they could get some sort of interview with him. If not, then they hoped he would answer at least one question. They needed something to bring back to print in the paper.
Photographers had it way easier though. All they had to do is get pictures as he walked by. The reporters had it a lot harder than them.
Soon, Tom walked out with the beautiful Druella Rosier draped on his arm.
The second they appeared outside the train, the flash-bangs erupted. Flashes from every photographer's camera started going off in Tom and Druellas faces.
As the flashes were blinding them, reporters started throwing out question after question.
"How was Hogwarts, Mr. Riddle?"
"Will you be graduating early?"
"What was your fight with Grindelwald like?"
"How do you feel about the new ex-creature citizens?"
"Will you be doing anything special over the summer?"
...
"Is that your girlfriend or are you single?" A thirsty looking woman that isn't even a reporter asked.
The reporters lost their chance to ask questions at the beginning of the school year, so they're being extra aggressive now.
When they came back empty-handed last year, their editors were livid. After all, how hard is it to ask a kid a few questions?
After a good thirty seconds of constant flashes and a constant bombardment of questions, Tom finally had enough. Especially after that last question, as Druella was glaring at that woman while squeezing Tom's arm for dear life.
For whatever reason, the woman took Druellas glare as a challenge and glared back unwaveringly.
"THAT IS ENOUGH!" Tom shouts while enhancing his voice with magic.
With his shout, the entirety of the platform shuts their mouths. The place becomes deathly quiet as no one here wants to anger a man as powerful as Tom.
"Thank you! Now, I'm willing to answer some questions, but we'll do it in an orderly manner. I will call on you and you will ask one question. I will answer it and then move on to the next person. Does everyone understand?" Tom asks and every reporter and some civilians nod without uttering a single word. "Good, If any of you step out of line during this interview, I will immediately leave and it will be that person's fault, so be smart or else your fellow reporters won't be happy with you."
As Tom says this, every reporter glances around as if to say 'keep your mouth shut or else'.
"Now, raise your hand if you're a reporter and you have a question." Tom says and the hands go up.
Tom points to one and he fist pumps at being chosen first.
"Mr. Riddle, how was your fight against the Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald?" He asks one of the bigger questions and everyone listens closely.
"It was fairly easy. We didn't start out at our full strengths in order to test one another. Once we fought at full strength, I easily beat him." Tom answers truthfully.
"What was..." he tries to talk again but one of the reporters silenced his voice with a spell.
"He said one question. Don't step out of line!" One of the reporters angrily berates the muted man.
"I'll let it slide this once. Next." Tom says and points to a female reporter.
"Umm... How was school this year?" She got nervous and wasn't sure what to ask.
"Easy as always. It's fun to be around others of my age though. This year I decided to make my own club called the self-defense club. I teach many of the students to defend themselves and ready them for future Auror professions." Tom answered again and points to the next person.
"Do you plan to run for any sort of office after graduation next year? I believe many would vote for the man that slew a Dark Lord." They ask.
"No, I'm uninterested in politics as a whole. I find it tedious and boring. Although I understand the need for it, because at the end of the day those politicians run our society." Tom explains and once again points to the next person.
"Have you heard about the new ex-creature citizens? If you have, how do you feel about them?" Another reporter asks.
"I have to say that I'm very happy with the Wizengamot's decision to finally realize these people are people as well. I don't know what came over Lord Black, but he and everyone that voted on his bill supported a very good cause in my opinion." Tom says pointing to the next person. "Next."
"What about the many werewolf and vampire attacks that have happened since the bill was signed into law?" He asks.
"Well, there's always going to be small groups in every mass of people that are distasteful, to say the least. We recently dealt with our own distasteful group and these people are just the same. It's my opinion that they should be hunted down and killed. If they can't see the chance that's being offered to them, then that is truly a shame." Tom says with a shake of his head and gestures to the next person.
"You said earlier 'you don't know what came over Lord Black'. Can you elaborate on that?" He asked.
"Well, let's not beat around the bush here. Lord Black has been known to support everything that goes against helping vampires, werewolves, and other ex-creatures. I don't know why he wrote this bill, nor what changed his opinion of these people. Did he have an epiphany and see that they're humans just like the rest of us? I don't know. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not badmouthing the man. He helped many people and I thank him for that. I just urge him to make a press release stating why he decided to help these people. If he can give a believable answer, then I will squash my doubts of him immediately." Tom explains his doubts.
As he said this the reporters were smiling from ear to ear. They just got the best news they could possibly receive. None of them would dare to write anything against the great House Black, but with Tom's words, they could now do whatever they want.
They wouldn't get any blowback as it was Tom that stated these things. They would just be reporting on his statement.
This news would last at least a week, and if Lord Black responds, maybe even a month.
"Alright, that seems like a good place to end our discussion. Goodbye and have a nice day." Tom says as Mimsy appears and pops him and Druella away.
