Y/n is sitting on the train, on her way to Hogwarts, trying to ignore the fact that she just had gotten expelled from her past school.

" Bloody hell, I'm starving," Y/n said to herself and noticed a trolly at the end of the hall.

She got up out of her seat and walked to the trolly. As she was reaching for a chocolate bar, she felt another hand grasp onto hers. She immediately looked up to see a boy with a lightning scar.

" Oh sorry, you can have it..." the boy said to y/n.

" Oh no, you can have it, I'm good seriously," Y/n said to him.

" I haven't seen you around... Are you new to Hogwarts? I swore Dumbledore said we would have a new student this year." the boy asked her.

" Oh um yes I'm new. I got expelled from my last wizarding school." Y/n said, looking down at the ground.

" I'm Harry Potter... But my friends call me the chosen one." Harry replied.

" I'm y/n... y/n Riddle. Why do your friends call you the chosen one?" Y/n asked him as she remembered what her dad told her about him.

"It's a long story, but would you like to sit with me and my friends and we can talk about it?" Harry asked y/n.

Harry knew that he shouldn't let her into his life, but he should give her a chance.

" Oh, um of course!" y/n replied to him


***TIME SKIP***


" Welcome to another magical year at Hogwarts. I'm pleased to introduce to you our newest student, Y/N Riddle!" Dumbledore said as y/n walked through the door, strutting down the aisle.

"She's bloody stunning. But I'm surprised she passed the background check." Draco stuttered to Crabe.

" Before we have our feast, we must put Miss Riddle into her house... Dear, please sit down up here." McGonagall remarked.

Y/N walked up to the chair and before she could even sit down, " SLYTHERIN " the sorting hat announced.

The Slytherin house all stood up and threw their hats up in the air. Harry looked sad, almost scared.  Y/n sat down where Draco was patting.

" Draco... Malfoy." He said.

" Oh um Y/N Riddle, " Y/n said while shaking his hand.

" Bloody hell mate I can't believe she got put into Slytherin, I mean I hope me and her can still be friends," Harry says to Ron and Hermione.

" Harry no, she's in Slytherin! And not to mention she is you know who's daughter! She isn't a good person." Hermione replied to Harry.

Y/N overhead their talking and looked at Harry with an upset look. " Trust me you don't want to get mixed up with the pottah drama," Draco told y/n holding her face with his hand.

As the feast ended,  Draco walked y/n to her classes. She sat down in the back, hoping that no one would sit next to her.

" Hey, can I sit with you?" Harry asks her.

" Oh um sure I guess..." Y/n says, moving her books away.

" Listen my friends can be dicks when it comes to sly-" Harry tried to say but y/n cut him off.

"No, no I get it... Seriously it's okay." Y/N said... grabbing harry's hand and holding it.

"Hello students, I am professor Lupin, and I will be your Defense against the Dark Arts teacher. " Remus announced.

" Shit..." Y/n accidentally whispered to herself.

"What's wrong? Are you all alright? Harry asked her.

" Oh yeah um, I'm fine its just I'm not a fan of DADA..." Y/N lied. Something was up, and Harry knew it, and he was going to figure out what.


" Her parents were friends with mine, I knew her ever since we were little Goyle! She isn't a lost cause anymore, she's finally figured out what she has to do and when she has to do it." Draco told Goyle... But little did they know, Harry was eavesdropping.

" I know Draco... Y/N is a very smart girl. But do you actually think she will follow in her father's footsteps? I mean you said it yourself, she isn't a lost cause anymore. " Goyle said.

Then Harry ran to go find Y/n. " There you are! Do you maybe want to study with me this free class period? Harry asks y/n.

"I was just about to ask you the same thing!" Y/n exclaimed. They walked to the library in awkward silence. They got to the library and sat down.

" So y/n, I've told you my story, so what's yours?" Harry asked y/n.

"Well um, let's start with the night I was born. It was a full moon that night and there were so many people at our house. My mum gave birth to me in our house because my father was too busy doing " Work". Ever since that day my dad always left to work on the most random occasions. One day I decided to go to the basement to see what his work was all about, and there he was, yelling a curse at some random muggle." Y/n said, but immediately starting grabbing her wrist in pain.

" What's wrong? What's bothering you?" Harry questioned.

" Oh, nothing my wrist just hurts," Y/N said. He didn't know how he did it, but Harry saw through all her lies...

                                                           And he was going to help her out of this.
