On Tom Riddle's second day at Hogwarts, he woke up early, eager to begin exploring the castle and learning more about the magic that surrounded him. He got dressed quickly and made his way down to the Great Hall for breakfast, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation that he couldn't quite explain.

As he sat down at the Slytherin table, Tom couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and belonging. He was a member of one of the oldest and most respected wizarding families, and he knew that he had the potential to be one of the greatest wizards of all time.

After breakfast, Tom made his way to his first class of the day, Potions. He had always been interested in the science of magic, and he was eager to learn how to brew potions that could do everything from healing wounds to inducing love.

The class was taught by Professor Horace Slughorn, a portly man with a walrus mustache who had a reputation for being one of the best potion-makers in the wizarding world. Tom listened intently as Slughorn explained the basics of potion-making, and he eagerly took notes on the different ingredients and their uses.

As the class progressed, Tom found that he had a natural talent for potion-making. He was able to follow the instructions precisely and create potions that were even more powerful than those of his classmates. Slughorn took notice of Tom's talent and began to pay him extra attention, offering him tips and tricks that would help him become an even better potion-maker.

After Potions, Tom had Charms, where he learned how to cast spells that could do everything from levitating objects to making them disappear. He found the class to be fascinating and challenging, and he was determined to master every spell that was taught.

As the day went on, Tom attended several more classes, including Transfiguration, where he learned how to turn one object into another, and Herbology, where he learned about the properties of different plants and how they could be used in magic.

By the end of the day, Tom was exhausted but exhilarated. He had learned more about magic in a single day than he ever had before, and he knew that he had found his true calling. He couldn't wait to see what the rest of his time at Hogwarts had in store for him, and he was determined to become the greatest wizard of all time.

As the sun began to set on Tom Riddle's second day at Hogwarts, he found himself making his way up to the Astronomy Tower for his final class of the day. The tower was a tall, circular structure that overlooked the castle and provided a stunning view of the night sky.

Tom had always been interested in astronomy, and he was excited to learn more about the stars and planets that filled the sky above him. He made his way up the spiral staircase to the top of the tower, where he found Professor Aurora Sinistra waiting for him.

Sinistra was a tall, thin woman with long black hair and piercing blue eyes. She had a reputation for being strict and demanding, and Tom knew that he would have to work hard to impress her.

The class began with Sinistra giving a lecture on the different constellations and planets that could be seen in the night sky. Tom listened intently, taking notes and asking questions when he didn't understand something.

After the lecture, Sinistra instructed the students to take out their telescopes and begin observing the stars. Tom eagerly complied, adjusting his telescope until he had a clear view of the Orion Nebula, one of the most stunning sights in the night sky.

As he gazed up at the stars, Tom felt a sense of wonder and awe. He had always been fascinated by the mysteries of the universe, and he knew that he would spend many more nights on the Astronomy Tower, gazing up at the stars and learning all that he could about the cosmos.

The class ended all too soon, and Tom reluctantly packed up his telescope and made his way back to the Slytherin common room. As he climbed into bed, he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement for the future. He knew that he was at Hogwarts for a reason, and he was determined to make the most of his time there. 

IN THE SLYTHERIN'S COMMON ROOM:

Tom Riddle: Hey there, have you settled in?

Slytherin Student: Yeah, I have. Today was an interesting day.

Tom Riddle: How so?

Slytherin Student: I didn't expect so many muggle-borns in our class. They're going to dilute the purebloods.

Tom Riddle: You're right. It's a shame that Dumbledore is allowing them to attend Hogwarts. But, we can't let them drag us down. We'll have to work harder than ever to keep our bloodlines pure and strong.

Slytherin Student: Absolutely. We need to stay vigilant and make sure that our traditions aren't forgotten.

Tom Riddle: That's why I'm starting a group. A group of like-minded individuals who share our beliefs and values.

Slytherin Student: What kind of group?

Tom Riddle: A group that will help us preserve our way of life. A group that will help us weed out those who don't belong here.

Slytherin Student: I'm in. What do we do first?

Tom Riddle: First, we need to find those who are willing to join us. Then, we'll plan our next move.

Slytherin Student: Sounds like a plan. Let's make Slytherin great again!

Tom Riddle: Exactly. Slytherin will rise again, and we'll be the ones leading the way.
