Chapter 2: A trip by train to Hogwarts.

When the Hogwarts Express left, Bella moved away from her cousin, who seemed to have found a friend in James Potter, and she went with Lucius to find an empty compartment for the journey to the school. As they walked they kept pushing the other college students, except the upper class. Suddenly they heard a girl talking to another:

"No, there is no more empty compartment over there, in the last compartment, there is a boy alone, but better not enter it. Is a second-year guy, is not kind, as I know."

The other girl replied:

"Then we go into another compartment, I don't want any trouble on my first day of school."

Lucius and Bellatrix exchanged glances interested in this discovery, and then a guy came up to them. He was tall, more or less like Lucius and thin. The boy smiled and waved at them:

"Malfoy and Black, what are you doing?"

Lucius and Bella turned to look at the boy who had spoken to them, was Rodolphus Lestrange, another pure blood.

Bellatrix looked at him with disdain they had never gotten along, from the time their families had told them that they should marry in the future. But Lucius however, was pleased to meet with the boy, and waved at him, nodding.

Bellatrix with her voice of superiority and arrogance replied:

"We're looking for an empty compartment, away from the mudbloods."

Lestrange, nodded and then turned to Lucius:

"Will you come with me to annoy Weasley? I saw him, he seemed lost"

Lucius seemed unsure, looking at Bellatrix, she quickly had offended, but then he decided he was going to bother Weasley with Lestrange. Lucius shrugged before the eyes of hate that Bellatrix gave him, then he left with Lestrange, leaving the girl alone in the middle of the hallway.

Bellatrix sighed, annoyed, angry and walked alone into the last compartment of the train. Effectively as the girl had said, in that compartment, there was only one guy sitting there at the time looking out the window, with no expression on his face. This guy looked at the door, the moment the door opened and he looked at her with a look unfriendly, it was like, "Get out of here." But Bellatrix was used to that kind of looks, as she used to look at people the same way, so she looked at him the same way and without saying a word, she sat opposite him.

The boy had never seen anyone act like that in front of him, then he decided to to use his gentle voice, the voice that for a year ago, he used on teachers.

"Hi".-he greeted.- "You're new, right? Because, I have not seen you here."

Bellatrix immediately changed her look, when the boy spoke as she was able to discover other things that she hadn't seen on him, perhaps because she was angry with her friends, and hadn't been able to watch the boy carefully.

The boy before her, had black hair, his pale face was beautiful, like those deep black eyes, he was obviously high, perhaps higher than Lucius, which was several inches taller than Bella.

Bellatrix, for the first and last time in her life, she felt awkward at that moment, thanks to the soft tone of voice used by the boy. She smiled, relaxing her expression of anger and said:

"Yes, I'm new. I am Bellatrix Black, surely you've heard about the Black family."

The boy nodded politely yet he certainly had heard about this family, although he looked at her now again with those hard eyes, when he noticed in the voice of Bella, the pride of being a member of a pureblood family.

His expression changed again, to be friendly in front of her and he introduced himself:

"I'm Tom Riddle, as you can see I'm going to second year."
