It was quite late at night and Iris fully recovered. She left the Scriptorium and started making her way to the dormitory. She started to hear whispers of little kids and moved closer to hear them.

"We are in the wrong year, you idiot. Use the turner again." a boy said.

"What are you talking about? This isn't 1981?" the other boy said

Iris then snuck up behind the two, "What are you two doing here in these halls?" she asked the two.

"uhh-" the boy said to Iris.

"I have never seen you two before. I am Iris Freya by the way. And you are?" Iris realized what she had done. She forgot she was supposed to be in disguise for a moment. The disguise wore off when she was in the hospital wing. But seeing as how they were different; it didn't seem to worry her too much.

The boy was about to say something until Tom caught them.

"What are you three doing out here so late?!" Tom said with a stern look.

"Hello to you too Tom." Iris said.

"Are you Tom Riddle?" one of the boys asked.

"How dare you speak so formally to me. What do you want?" he had a smug look at them. The boys looked terrified. Tom sees their robes and sees that they were Slytherin, but different, "Where did you get your robes from? Never mind that, I expected more from Slytherin, but it seems the years below us get more and more painfully stupid every year. Points will be deducted...you will receive punishment soon"

"Awww, don't be so hard on them" she pouted her lips and squeezed Tom's cheeks together.

"Don't do that" he slapped her hands off.

Iris knelt down and whispered at the two, " Funny how time works, five turns should do it." she winked at them.

Iris got back up and stood next to Tom.

"Let us go Tom, and good luck to you two" she said to the boys

"What are you doing? They need to be dealt with" he said.

"Don't worry, you can do that tomorrow" she said.

Tom and Iris walked down the dark hall and the two boys still standing there confused.

"How did she know?" one of the boys asked.

"She looks like your mum" the other boy said

"But my mum's name isn't Iris, my grandmother's name is Iris?!" the boy said.

"And your grandmum knew Tom Riddle!!" the other said.

"Who is Tom Riddle?" the boy asked.

"He was Lord Volemort!" the other said.

"No way! We have to keep moving, I think she said five turns. Grab on Scorpius!" the boy said.

And the two disappeared.

Tom and Iris walked through the dark halls after the encounter between the two boys. Iris waved her wand towards her to put her disguise back on.

"I don't know why, but I felt a strange familiarity from those strange boys. " Iris said to Tom.

"Me too." He said.

"And one of the boys has the same-colored eyes as you do, and he also has the same nose as mine. " She had the look of curiosity.

"Anybody could have those features. " Tom said.

"I guess you're right" Iris shook the thought of the boys off. "Why do you always act so highly of yourself?" Iris changed the subject.
