Last time, I had two chappies in one day, and here are the results!

"Albus Dumbledore? There is a girl outside waiting for you."
The auburn haired man looked up and nodded to Minerva McGonagall, "Thank you."
When Albus opened the door of the Transfiguration Room, a blond girl just outside surprised him.
Hermione looked at Albus and smiled, thrusting a piece of parchment into his hands.
Albus took the parchment and scanned it, his eyebrows rising sharply.
"Come in." He motioned Hermione.
"So you're my granddaughter from the future who has come to save the world from an evil wizard called Voldemort, and you were told to take the Defense Against the Dark Arts post?" Albus asked her after shooing the younger Minerva from his office.
Hermione nodded, "Yes. And I'm the guardian of Tom Riddle, so I think it'll be wise to have his Hogwarts slip now."
Albus nodded, conjuring a piece of paper and writing down everything quickly, "Here you go, Hermione." He said, also giving her a wand.
"Thanks, Gramps." She said, beaming at him, before disappearing from the room. She strode down the corridors, towards the Apparating points in Hogsmeade.
She disappeared with a crack! and went through the doorway to her home.
She blinked in surprise as she entered her castle.
"Tom? What are you doing?"
Tom looked up and smirked, "Where we you?"
Hermione sighed with aspiration, "I was getting your wand, idiot. Now what are you doing with my robes?"
He rolled his eyes, "Just wait and see." He stared at the robes on front of him and muttered something under his breath.
Soon the robes began to float.
"Wandless magic, huh?" Hermione said aloud, his wand still in her hands.
"Yeah. My wand?" Tom asked, as the robes fell again.
She sighed, tossing him the black wand, "We're going to Diagon Alley. Get your cloak and I have your Hogwarts letters." She walked to the fireplace in the corner of the room and got a handful of silvery powder.
Tom shrugged, waving his wand and going to Hermione. His cloak appeared in his hands.
"Now, I want you to take a handful of this Floo powder and shout 'Diagon Alley, Leaky Cauldron' very clearly. Try not to say 'diagonally'. I wouldn't want you to get stuck in a ceiling in a prostitute's house." Hermione joked, passing him a vase of Floo powder, "We should arrive in the Leaky Cauldron and into the room I rented."
"Does it work?" Tom asked, getting a handful, "Never heard of it."
Hermione then realised that the Floo powder was made nearly two decades before her birth and muttered, "Made it. Now, I'll go first so you know how to, 'kay?"
Tom nodded, stepping back.
Hermione went onto the marble fireplace and tossed the Floo powder, saying, "Diagon Alley, Leaky Cauldron!"
Green flames engulfed her and there was no trace of her anywhere.
Tom sighed, stepping on the grate and tossing the powder just like Hermione saying, "Diagon Alley, Leaky Cauldron!"
He saw the flames touch his robes and was suddenly catapulted into a void of black. He could see flashes of other fireplaces and suddenly saw Hermione on front of him. He reached out to try and touch her, when he was flung out of the void.
Hermione was grinning at him, brushing soot off her robe, "Looks like travel doesn't agree with you. Apparating makes you sick, and the Floo powder seems to fling you into your destination."
Tom groaned from his heap on the floor.
She took his hand and pulled him up, "Really, are you ok?"
Tom nodded, blinking as he saw Hermione's face just a few inches from his. She smiled and took out two keys from her purse.
Both of them was silver in colour, but then they were completely different after that. The one on the right had a blue tint on its skin and had an etching of an eagle on the side while the other was green-ish and had a snake on its side.
"This one is obviously yours." Hermione said, giving him the greener one, "It's the Slytherin vault key, and no one can take it from you without your permission. It'll heat up and burn the thief. Sometimes, it poisons them…"
She smiled, "Let's go to Gringotts."
Tom nodded, staring at the key, "It's… Mine?"
"Yes, you dimbo!" Hermione said fondly, "I checked it the day before I got you out of the torture house, and it had over trillions of galleons, sickles, knuts and valuables. Each." She added.
Tom's eyes widened and he followed Hermione out of the room, not noticing her tapping the bricks of the wall and going into the marble bank.
Hermione smiled at the goblin closest to her and showed him her key.
The goblin's eyes widened and squeaked, rushing into a cart, ushering them in.
"My charge here also has a key, it's the Slytherin key." She whispered to the petrified goblin.
The said goblin nodded and they shot off into the darkness, hurtling through the dank caves, going deeper, and deeper, and deeper… And deeper… And deep-
The cart suddenly stopped, making Tom almost fly out.
He crashed into Hermione.
"Ouch!" She hissed, glaring at Tom.
"Sorry." He said.
The goblin jumped out of the cart, beckoning them towards two great doors.
Hermione went to the one on the right and said to Tom, "Can I go first?"
Tom nodded mutely.
"Great!" She said, taking out her hand and pricking her finger, dripping her blood on a small dish next to the doors then dipping her key in it. She touched the door with the bloody key.
It swung open, revealing a huge vault filled with gold, silver, bronze, jewels and… Doors?
Hermione took out a bag and tapped it. It morphed into a brown sack and she shovelled galleons into the sack.
Tom's eyes widened even more, as she didn't seem to stop putting handfuls of gold into the bag. She caught his eye and said, "It's for the entire year."
Tom nodded, fingering a tiny statuette.
Hermione then went to a door and opened it.
Inside was a large collection of…

You guys'll have to wait until I finish the next chappie! Ha!
