A Murder of Crows

Tom looked at the twisted body at the bottom of the stairs for a moment, unable to comprehend what had just happened. His arms and legs were spread at odd angles and his neck twisted in a way that couldn’t be comfortable – or, well, wouldn’t have been comfortable, had Billy still been alive. He definitely wasn’t alive anymore. There was no way he was. “They will never believe it was an accident,” Naenia said calmly. Tom winced and cursed under his breath as he looked over at her. “We need to get rid of the evidence.” Naenia mustered the body with a contemplative look on her face. “Naenia?” She turned to him. “I have an idea. Let’s reanimate his body.”

In which a young Tom Riddle meets a Necromancer at the orphanage and things do not turn out for the better, at all.
