Train

31 Aug 1989 ( 2 Years before Philosopher's stone)

'As I lay on my bed, I think about leaving the orphanage and going to Hogwarts. It's my last day here, and Grandma has prepared a feast with all my favourite dishes for dinner.' Agustus reflects on his life so far.

'I have spent 11 years in this orphanage, and I have grown fond of the other kids here. They all looked so sad and dejected tonight when Grandma announced that I was going to a boarding school tomorrow. Little Emily, who always treated me like a brother, couldn't even finish her pudding. She was heartbroken to see me go. I chuckle softly, remembering their faces.'

'Tomorrow, my magical journey begins. I am already strong enough that nothing can harm me. I will just sit back, relax, and show off my magic and money. I will keep POD hidden, as it is my ace in the hole. I will be badass, win some wizarding tournaments, get some girls, and live the life I always dreamed of.' Agustus plans his future in his head.

Agustus then decides to get some sleep, as tomorrow's journey will be exhausting for a child's body. He closes his eyes, and drifts off to a peaceful slumber.

1st September 1989

The boy sitting in a Hogwarts train compartment had blue eyes and blonde hair. He wore a white shirt, black trousers, and customized purple robes that looked more like a coat. On the back of his robes, there was a house symbol. He also wore a ring that looked expensive and had the same crest. The boy looked very handsome and classy. He had a wand hidden inside his sleeves. He was none other than Agustus Peverell.

He had boarded the train early and put on his family robes, which he couldn't wear at the orphanage. He was not ashamed of his inheritance and he had no reason to hide it. He had already contacted the goblins and signed a contract about his guardian problem and the 40 Wizengamot Votes as he held 4 seats he held. He had also hired a person who would represent his house. Gringotts had been receiving letters of invitation for him from several noble houses, but he had told them to reply that he was preparing to go to Hogwarts and he couldn't attend.

Agustus had brought no luggage with him. All his stuff was stored in his ring. It was the Drakul ring and it had that feature.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the compartment. Agustus said, "Enter."

A girl with violet hair and a heart-shaped face, dark twinkling eyes, and a pale complexion was standing outside the compartment. She was carrying a big suitcase and an owl cage. Agustus smiled at her and said, "Let me help you."

Before the girl could reply, her suitcase and owl cage were inside the compartment.

The girl's hair started to flicker as she came inside and sat on the seat. She asked the boy, "How did you do that? It was wandless magic. My mom told me it was super hard to do. Only strong wizards can do that."

Agustus chuckled at the girl's questioning and said, "Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking questions?" He knew who she was because he had wished for her to be here.

The girl's hair turned pink and she blushed a little. She said, "I got excited seeing your magic. Sorry, and thank you for helping me with my luggage. You can call me Tonks."

Agustus smiled at her and introduced himself. "No worries. Well, it is a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Tonks. My name is Agustus Peverell. And yes, that was wandless magic. I can do it because I am a ghost. I died on this train and now I will eat you. You look tasty." He made a scary face.

"Wh… what? How? What are you talking about?" The girl asked, panicked.

Agustus just laughed at her. "I was just joking."

Tonks pouted at him cutely and then realized something. She pointed a finger at him and said, "Wait, you're the 'Peverell Heir' who made my mom your guardian and my dad your house representative in the Wizengamot."

Agustus nodded in agreement and said, "Well, the goblins suggested them, and we signed magical contracts. And after talking to them, I found out that your folks are good people."

Tonks grinned at Agustus and said, "You bet they are. They have been really busy handling your letters and all. You are really famous."

Agustus nodded at her with a smile.

The train had meanwhile departed from London while they were busy chatting.

They talked a lot and shared their tiffin with each other.

Tonks told him her story and he told her about how he got to know about the wizarding world.

Over the journey, they became good friends.

After they changed their robes, Agustus asked Tonks, "So, Dora, which house do you want to go to?" She had asked him to call her 'Dora' after she told him her full name, Nymphadora Tonks.

Dora replied, "Hufflepuff. My dad was a Hufflepuff. And you?"

Agustus sighed and said, "Any house would be fine."

Dora said, "You would get Hufflepuff too, and together we would prank the entire Hogwarts."

Agustus smiled at her enthusiasm.

The train arrived at Hogsmeade station, and the kids got off the train. They followed Hagrid, the giant groundskeeper, to the edge of the lake. There, they saw a fleet of small boats waiting for them.

They took a short boat ride to Hogwarts Hall.

Agustus saw four tables filled with children wearing different colored robes.

He looked at the teachers' table and recognized all of them except one. 'He might be the DADA teacher,' Agustus thought.

While he was thinking, Professor McGonagall started calling the names of the students for sorting. She had a hat in her hand, which she placed on a stool in front of the hall. The hat opened its mouth and sang a song about the four houses and their qualities.

Guess the house in which Agustus would go to. Here.

MC would be in 3rd Year when Canon starts

I really enjoy writing this novel compared to the last one.
