RECAP:

So after telling the story, he was expecting Dumbledore to say something. Even Dumbledore was astonished to hear what the headmaster just heard. And said in a chirpy tone, "It's a new year. So let's see what they can all do. It seems both Hermione and Tom could do extraordinary things".

"Yeah, it seems", Dipped agreed.

CHAPTER 3:

HOGWARTS EXPRESS

September 1, 1938.

It has been three days since both the headmaster and the transfiguration professor had their weird kind of adventure. Meeting two children in a different kind of situation, was rather unusual. But both the professors are very excited to see them and their talents.

"MOM!", a voice shrieked in the living room of a small beautiful cozy home. "What is it, dear?", (A/N: Not Molly Weasley, of course)asked. "He is doing it again mom. Will says I would be in Slytherin with no doubt", Hermione cried.

Most of the wizarding people would be happy in whichever house they were put unless it's Slytherin of course. It seems a tradition that Slytherins are supposed to be evil. The truth is not all Slytherins are evil. But they can be cunning in a way no one expects to achieve their goal. One shouldn't even forget the fact that Slytherins are more ambitious than the students of other houses.

When it comes to Weasley-they are famous for their red heads- clan, every single person who attended the Hogwarts was Gryffindor. And that fact was not changed for the elder Weasley too. He was going to his second year. If there is no teasing from your brothers, they can't be your brother after all. And that teasing was unbearable for poor young Hermione. "Slytherins are baddies, so my sister is evil!", Will said in a sing-song voice.

"Now, don't be rude to your sister Will", said and hugged Hermione and kissed her on the forehead saying, "Don't worry my dear. I know you're a Gryffindor from the moment you were born". She paused and then gulped and said in a soothing voice, "We will love you no matter which house you're in. It doesn't matter. Moreover, every house has their own spectacular traits. So you shouldn't worry about that".

"Okay, then", Hermione said in a small voice and then smiled. "Go and pick up your luggage and come, we have to leave soon", said. Hermione went to her room. When she entered her room, she suddenly felt sad for leaving her home. But she was still enthralled to go to Hogwarts. Nonetheless, she picked up her bags and left the room.

Upon seeing her mother having a conversation with her brother, she stopped her walk. There, she was having a tantrum at Will for teasing her. She laughed when she looks at the reaction on his face. His ears are bright red, the same color as his head. When Weasleys are embarrassed or angry, their ears would turn pink. She never knows why she was not a redhead. But that doesn't bother her.

And after that, they left their home to board the train.

Meanwhile, a few miles away, a little boy was glowing with happiness. But, of course, he is trying to not show it. Tom Riddle was going to have freedom from that horrible orphanage even though it's not a permanent one. Professor Dumbledore said he needs to go to the orphanage during vacations. Some rules they are! Yesterday, Dumbledore personally came to his aid and helped him to buy every requirement with the scholarship money, which was given to children like him. He enjoyed his Diagon Alley's adventure and his expectations for the school is at its peak.

But now, Professor hadn't come. He was told how to reach the station and about nine and three-quarters. He was on the way to King Cross Station. So, after reaching the station, he left his cab and entered it. He was amazed by the beauty of the Hogwarts Express, once he passed through nine and three quarters. The station was buzzed with young witch and wizards. Even though he was having so many emotions, he doesn't show it on his face except perhaps glare and scowl.

He entered the train and soon found a separate compartment and took his seat. Whenever someone entered it, he would give an angry glare. So no one was in that compartment apart from him. He should enjoy his moment of loneliness because soon it was gripped from him.

Weasley family reached the nine and three-quarters. was giving last minute advice to their children. And they nodded and soon left for the train. There Will left his sister and went to meet his friends. Hermione rolled her eyes and left in search of a compartment.

Every single compartment was full. She was frustrated. Couldn't a single seat is available in this whole train? While she was raving in her head, she came across a compartment and opened. Immediately, she met a handsome black-haired boy. He looked up from his book with a full-forced frown on his face. She shrugged and entered and took an opposite seat from his.

"Don't you have any other place? Do you see anyone here? No, so that means this compartment is mine. So why don't you leave? " he said in an annoyed voice.

Hermione rolled her eyes and said, "I don't see your name written on the door. Unless you're a Head boy, you don't have a separate room. If you're so irritated why don't you leave? I wouldn't mind it".

He was angry at her, but he couldn't, and wouldn't, show it.

But once he reached Hogwarts, he will repay her.
