ok first time writing here so please be gentle
"Dad, I don't want to end up in slytherin"
Harry looked down to his son and could tell that Albus was scared about ending up in the house of the snake. Harry sighed, James Potter really lived up to his name and has terrorized the family since he was born, however recently he has been scaring Albus with stories about what would happen of he became a snake. As much as he loves his eldest son he can cause a bit too much trouble sometimes. He has already had a fortnight worth of detentions in his first year. Deciding how to comfort his son Harry knelt.
"Albus" he said while putting his hands of his shoulders "there is nothing wrong with becoming a snake, in fact one of the bravest men I ever knew was a snake, he shares you middle name"
"Severus?" Albus asked while looking up to look at his father.
"Yes, I would not be alive if it wasn't for him" Harry said reminiscing. He looked into his son's eyes as he said this and he could tell that those emerald eyes the same as his were still scared. Harry sighed not knowing how to help him, until an idea struck.
"Shall I tell you a secret?" Harry whispered into his son's ear. He laughed as Albus' head shot up; Albus had always been one for secrets.
"What is it?" Albus mock whispered back his eyes shining.
"Well" Harry said chuckling "don't tell anyone else this but the sorting hat actually thought that putting me in slytherin would be a good idea"
Albus gasped shocked he always thought that his dad was the epitome of a Gryffindor and not that he would have gone into slytherin.
"How come you aren't in slytherin then?" he asked confused, he always thought that the hats word was law.
"Well I asked the hat you see" Harry smiled reminiscing "he took my wants into consideration and put me into Gryffindor. Also remember Albus the dark days are over, there are no more death eaters for you to have to worry about."
Harry sighed with relief as his son finally stopped looking so scared. Albus reached out and hugged his dad who enveloped him in return
"Thank you dad, I will miss you." Albus though not worried about his house anymore isn't happy about not seeing his father.
"I will miss you too and will look forward to seeing you at Christmas, try not to get into too much trouble" Harry hugged his son grateful that he at least has his daughter to lessen the blow of having to lose a son for a term. "And remember I will always be proud of you no matter which house you and up in" it was with these words that Harry let go and pointed at the train. "I think Rose has found an empty compartment, go before the train goes" however his son wasn't looking at the train but to the right
"Dad what's happening" he asked pointing to where the crowd had turned quiet and was moving apart. Harry looked over to where his son was pointing and saw before Albus did the reason to why the crowd was moving apart. There walking forward was a small girl with white pale white skin and long ebony hair, the reason to why the crowd was moving apart though was because of her eyes, a piercing blood-red, a characteristic that she inherited from her father.
"That Albus is Hell Riddle" Albus look up shocked at his dad's proclamation, he had heard about her. She had kicked up a fuss in the prophet when Aurors found her at the age of six when Riddle manor was broken into. The remaining death eaters were put into prison, however the fate of the girl was never published. Scared Albus moved closer to his father.
"What do I do dad." he didn't know what the girl will do to him to avenge his dad killing her father.
"Stay away from her we don't know what she is like, however she will probably end up like her father as there is not one nice aspect of him she could inherit." Harry said that while looking worried, he thought any threat to his family was killed with the death of Voldemort. Nodding Albus got on the train and joined Rose Weasley in the compartment. Harry turned back to Hell to see her struggling to get he trunk onto the train, no one offered to help they just watched as she finally dragged the trunk onto the train.
"She is going to have a hard time trying to find anywhere to sit" Harry looked over to his wife Ginny, he put an arm around his shoulder in comfort.
"I don't think there is anyone Voldemort didn't hurt in some way, she is going to have a hard time full stop." he sighed as he realized she was right, even people in slytherin had been hurt. Riddle will have trouble fitting in no matter which house she ends up in. Ginny looked up to him.
"Do you feel sorry for her?" Harry paused at her question
"Yes I do, at first I really didn't but I do now, however if she ends up like her father then all pity I hold for her will be gone" he held his wife and waved as the train left the station. "We will just have to wait and see how things turn out."
"This is going to be a long term". Harry look down at his wife and squeezed her shoulder,
"Yes it will"
"Thanks for all the help, not" Hell muttered as she finally got her stuff onto the train. She hadn't been expecting to see Potter, he looked a little shocked and maybe a little mad but his reaction wasn't nearly as bad as she expected. Moving away from thoughts about Potter she looked down the carriage and sighed, her thoughts were eerily similar to that of Potter; that she would have a hard time trying to find anywhere to sit.
She sighed as she thought about the long journey but at least she will be able to check every single carriage, at least one will be empty or have someone asleep. So she went to the conductor's carriage and slowly made her way down the train looking for carriages with few people in them. However she was having no luck, the emptiest carriage she saw so far contained three people talking or arguing. She sighed as she reached near the end, wondering if she will end up stuck in a compartment full of loud strangers. She looked in the second to last compartment and saw only one person in.
Feeling a bit more hopeful she planned if the last compartment is full then she will enter this one, at least she won't have to listen to loud inane chatter.
The last compartment as she expected was already full so she backtracked to the compartment previous. Wondering how the girl occupying the compartment already would react, there are many interesting ways she could choose from. And so she knocked and stood waiting. The girl inside looked up from her book startled, then seeing someone outside smiled and beckoned Hell in. gathering her courage and preparing for all hell to break loose, pun not intended, Hell spoke.
"Hello, I'm Hell Riddle, do you mind if I join you in this compartment all of the others are full?" she looked directly at the girl while asking for her permission.
"Daughter of Tom Riddle?" the stranger asked quizzically, Hell looked up thinking disdainfully if she was for real and if someone could be that dim
"Well considering we share the last name and I am considerably younger, many would make the assumption that yes I am his daughter" she said snidely "there is also a rumor going around that Riddle is the only wizard ever recorded to have actual red eyes and will only be able to pass this anomaly to any children he sires, perhaps you have heard it? Many people have commented that my eyes are a bit of a give away to my heritage, they do stand out a bit."
The mysterious girl grinned at that
"Well who knows you may have a thing for necrophilia and have decided that you want to be exactly like the love of your life, red eyes and all" the girl said grinning. _Hell also grinned, this girl was up for a bit of banter and she has always enjoyed some.
"Necrophilia implies that I have his body which everyone knows is destroyed so I see a flaw in your assumption" Hell said accepting the girls' invite to some fun.
"Hero worship then" the girl shot back
"But Riddle wasn't a hero" hell frowned at that, was this girl a dark wizard fanatic
"To the mentally deranged he was" the girl said while grinning
"Are you implying that I am mentally deranged?" Hell asked returning the grin
"I would never dream of It." the grin the girl was sporting turned mischievous
"Why do I question that" Hell then chuckled, she hadn't had so much fun in a conversation since buddy died. "I didn't catch your name by the way"
"Hesagona Rafforin" Hesagona said holding her hand out. Hell paused
"Really?" she asked not sure whether to look sympathetic or laugh, "they made that up didn't they?"
" I wonder how you guessed, your observation skills know no bounds" Hesagona said, her voice dripping in sarcasm
"Probably the fact that until now it has been inhumanly possible for any human being to be ridiculous enough to make that name up, don't you have a nickname?" Hell said still snickering at the thought that there is someone in the world ridiculous enough to think that Hesagona would be a good name, where did they pull that name from anyway_?
"How about you think one up with that genius brain with yours" Hesagona snarked back
"What makes you think I am a genius?" Hell asked questionably not recall any words about intelligence appearing in any of their previous exchanges.
"Sherlock Holmes was an observational master and a genius, so seeing as how you have already proved you superior skill in observation" Hesagona said really layering on the sarcasm at this point "I assumed that your brain must therefore be of a genius quality, however I can see that some wires have been crossed and your brain has been compromised in someway" she was smirking as she finished
"How about Fred?" she asked questioningly, not trying to make a comeback to Hesagona's statement as she knows she will lose.
"Where did you get the d?" Hesagona asked smirking as she reveled in the surrender Hell's change of conversation signaled
"Dimwit"
"Hey"
"No Fred wouldn't suit you anyways" Hell started ignoring the wounded puppy looks Hesagona started throwing her "how about Ren?"
"Yes I like that" Ren said smiling "I like that a lot, and I shall call you Heidi"
"Who ever said that you could name me?" Heidi asked vaguely insulted that this girl decided to rename her.
"Look I'm not calling you after a theoretical place that may or may not exist, and besides hell is supposed to be huge while you deary are not, do you even know how to eat?" Ren asked being very serious
"How could I not know how to eat? It's human instinct" Heidi asked feeling confused, Ren has already proved that she is smart yet how does she not understand the basic concepts. " And how do you know Sherlock Holmes was a genius?"
"I'm basing it off the film, ironman is a genius who is played by junior who plays Sherlock, therefore Sherlock is a genius" Ren said, Heidi's eyes lighted up with excitement at this revelation.
"You watched Ironman" Heidi's voice was full of excitement.
"Deary I have watched ALL Marvel and DC films" Ren replied her voice also lighting up with excitement
"Have you watched the avengers?" Heidi was really happy that her companion also held an interest in superheroes.
"There is no way I would miss a film that was so epic that it blew up the epicness scale, I mean it was a perfect film" Heidi giggled at this, her overflowing joy at finding someone who shared her passion could only be released through laughter.
"Do you have any favorites?" Heidi asked
And like this their discussion kicked off and the journey to Hogwarts flew by and near the end Heidi realized that she had made her first human best friend
Heidi looked up as the train screeched from a stop
"I guess we will have to carry on our debate another time" Heidi said, disappointment lacing her voice. She really wanted to convince Ren that Marvel is better than DC.
"Definitely, I really don't get what you have against superman" Ren's head shook with confusion. Heidi sighed she didn't see what Ren thought was good in him.
"Oh, come on don't tell me he never irritates him a little with his manner, general patheticness, low intelligence and..." Heidi was cut off by a booming voice
"First years this way, don't be shy now I don't bite, your luggage will be taken to the castle so don't bring them, come along now don't be shy". Heidi followed Ren off the train and her first thought at seeing the big man was why the heck is Santa Claus doing in Hogwarts?
"Hey Heidi" Ren nudged her, Heidi turned towards her "is it just me or do we have a directionally and seasonally challenged Santa Claus in our midst?" Heidi looked at Ren in surprise then amusement.
"It seems we do as I was thinking exactly the same thing" Heidi said while snickering, Ren looked at her surprised and then snickered as well which turned into full out laughter from both of them, it was soon cut of again by the large man/ Santa Clause
"Welcome first years, me name is Hagrid the keeper of the keys and your professor for Care of Magical Creatures. It's great to meet you all and I bet we will have a wonderful year together, now follow me". At that Hagrid turned and walked away, the mob of 50 or so first years following him.
"How exactly do you think we will get there?" Heidi murmured into Ren's ear, who shrugged her shoulders.
"The magic school bus?" Heidi looked at her with an incredulous look.
"Dude, we are in England they don't get yellow school busses" it was now Ren's turn to give Heidi a strange look
"I thought u were stuck in the manor till you were six, so I don't even want to know how you understand that reference" Heidi smirked at Ren's tone of voice.
"Hey don't judge you made the reference, therefore you must know it way to well." Heidi accused back and smirked again at Ren's bashful face
"I liked it as a kid so what and besides..." Ren's reply was cut off as she looked towards the water "whoa uncool" Heidi turned head to see the water curious as to what caused Ren's reaction, when she saw the boats she was gob smacked. Did the school expect them to ROW themselves to the school?
"Talk about cutting costs" Heidi exclaimed. Ren looked at her in amusement.
"And I thought the recession had ended" Ren remarked and Heidi scoffed at Rens statement and decided to run with it.
"Those stupid bank's" Heidi said with false malice
"I never would have thought Gringott's was involved"
"Dude those greedy goblins probably started the entire thing" Ren shot her a look.
"Now that is just speciest" Heidi smirked at this
"It alliterates therefore it must be true, and speciest doesn't exist"
"Well evidently it does now seeing how I used it, if I used the word then it must exist otherwise I wouldn't of been able to use it as it wouldn't have existed comprende" Ren smirked at Heidi's expression at her declaration.
"Ok now my brain hurts" Heidi said grimacing
"You have a brain?" Ren gasped, Heidi looked up to see Ren's smirk
"For your information..." Heidi was interrupted yet again mid sentence by Hagrids booming voice
"I said no more than four in a boat now stop dawdling." Ren looked at Heidi and nodded towards the now empty shore
"I think that was aimed at us"
"No shit Sherlock" Heidi snarked back, Ren smiled as she got into a miraculously empty boat
"Well are you coming, now stop dawdling" Heidi arched an eyebrow but clambered into the boat with Ren
"So where exactly are the oars on this thing?" Heidi asked and as soon as she uttered those words the boat began to move, causing Heidi to fall back into the seat which caused Ren to laugh. Heidi sat with a huff, Ren must have made a deal with the boats or a tree somewhere in the world.
"It wasn't that funny" Heidi aimed at a still laughing Ren
"Actually I think you will find it was" Ren shot back still snickering. And it was with this bickering that the boat trip passed by, that ended though as soon as the castle came into view. Both of the girls stopped talking along with the rest of the students and stared entranced at the castle.
"Wow THIS will be our school" Ren looked at Heidi her eyes shining "I cant wait" Heidi nodded but not just because this castle will be her school, it will be her home. Heidi's eyes shone, not with excitement but with unshed tears of happiness at finally finding her home.
"Heidi are you coming" Heidi looked up startled at Ren's inquisitive voice.
"Sorry I was a million miles away, what were you saying?" Heidi asked, Ren raised an eyebrow at her.
"We have arrived, are you going to get out or do you want to sleep out here?" Ren replied mockingly. Heidi looked up and saw that they had indeed arrived and that the other students were walking off up some stairs. She jumped up and chased off after them not wanting to be late and get told off, snickering Ren followed.
They quickly caught up with the other students and saw their luggage lining the hallway. Heidi spotted hers and was going to go grab it until a stern voice commanded
"You will be able to reclaim your luggage later but for the time being I would appreciate if you would kindly come up here." the mocking tone had a hint of threat in it that had all the student's hurrying up the stairs and come face to face with a fairly old woman with her black and grey hair pulled back into a bun and had a ink black hat perched on top of her head
"I am Septima Vector, deputy head mistress and arithmancy teacher hopefully if all goes well I won't have to see any of you until N.E.W.T.S. Now through these doors you will be seated with fellow classmates. However before that you shall be sorted into your house and your house will be your family for the duration of your stay here. there are four different classes Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor and Slytherin" Heidi heard murmers as the deputy head listed off the houses.
"Any achievements will win your house some points, and any rule breaking will lose points. Now wait here" at that declaration Professor Vector turned and disappeared from view.
"So it's true, what I have heard on the train" everyone turned to look at a blond boy perching on the stair's railing who had broken the silence. " Hell Riddle is coming to Hogwarts"
