9 ¾ platform, King's Cross station :
A woman is waving to her child while the train is moving. The boy is also waving back with a smile. He has blonde hair, blue eyes and a cute face. As the train faded away from the station, the woman sighed and left.
In the train, the boy sat back in his cabin. Then he said to the big in the cabin," I'll search for my friend in the train. Can you look after my things just for a while? ". As he left the cabin he opened an interface only visible to him and saw the flickering markings in the hologram of the train.
He moved to end of the cabin and picked a transparent treasure chest with silver colour. He goes to the next cabin. If there are people there, he will pretend to greet them and collect his treasure chest. Like that he collected the 12 treasure chests in the Hogwarts Express. Although 10 of them are silver, and only 2 are gold rank.
Oh, by the way, he didn't say his name right. His name is Damian West. He is raised by his mother as for his father, he used to be an auror. During the times of voldemort and death eaters, he was killed. His mother is pregnant with him at that time. She left Britain to her parents house which is in France.
She is working as a manager in Greenhouse herb company. As the name says, it's a herb company in Europe that sells herbs and other raw materials for potions. It's the largest herb seller in the magical Europe. The pay is also very good, enough for their family not to worry.
His mother is very afraid to him to Britain. She felt conflicted as Damian is stubborn in going to Hogwarts rather than Beauxbatons. In the end, his stubbornness won and she agreed to send him to Hogwarts but with a condition. The moment there is a news of death eaters or any danger. She will pick him up from Hogwarts and send him straight to Beauxbatons. She believes Durmstrang is not safe since Karkaroff is a former death eater.
Damian returned to the cabin and thanked Anthony Goldstien in front of him. There are also two new people in the cabin. " Hello, I'm Michael Corner. Nice to meet you ", " Damian West, nice to meet you too ". He turned to the other person in the train.
A boy who looked older than them. He is wearing yellow robes with a badger symbol and also a prefect badge on him. He introduced himself," hello, I'm Cedric Diggory. A third year student in Hufflepuff. Nice to meet you ", Damian is startled looking at him. He though he might encounter one of the main protagonists but here he met the boy who will be killed in triwizard tournament.
Damian shook the hand that is stretched out while the older boy smiled. Damian has to agree with one thing though. The boy in front of him looked very kind and good looking. Although Damian had few doubts about Cedric, he introduced himself," Damian West, nice to meet you Mr Diggory ".
Cedric chuckled and said," no need to be so polite. Just call me Cedric. And don't be afraid because I'm a senior. I won't bully like others. If you have any doubts about Hogwarts you can ask me ", Michael asked," I want to ask something. How are the freshman get sorted into their house? ".
Cedric smiled and said," it's a secret. There is a tradition in Hogwarts that you can't say how you're going to be sorted into one of the four houses. Sorry Michael, I can't break this tradition or my friends will give me a beating of lifetime ".
The other two slumped in disappointment while Damian remained silent and asked in a whisper," are there any secret passages or locations or rooms in Hogwarts? ", Cedric raised an eyebrow and said," you're talking like a Griffyndoor ".
Damian said," sorry, I don't like Griffyndoor or Slytherin. The reason I want to ask is my curiosity. My parents were both in Ravenclaw. My mother used to tell me how she sneaked out often to hogsmeade with a secret passage. But she never received where the passage is. I want to know about it ".
Cedric asked," hoh, so you're just curious huh. I will tell you. But he careful, professors roam the castle at night in shifts. It's better to be safe not encounter one. The punishment will be harsh. Come to Hufflepuff instead. We have the kitchens nearby, if you want to eat something in the middle of night, just go to kitchen and ask the house elves. They'll prepare anything. The common room of Hufflepuff is also decorated with lush plants and vines personally overseen by the dean panoma sprout. She is a very kind professor and there is unity among Hufflepuff unlike other three houses that fight their own students for house points ".
" We also have our gardens and greehouses to grow vegetables, fruits, herbs and raw materials. Come to Hufflepuff if you want peaceful and cheerful environment. You can also count on me if you have doubts in your studies ", Cedric said. ' yo, you're really this kind. It's simply unfair to let you due in future ', Damian thought.
If he is strong enough by that time, he will try to change Cedric dying in triwizard tournament.
