30th July 1991

Two students were to be reintroduced to the Wizarding world the next day. Both famous. Yet both for extremely different circumstances.

The headmaster put his grandfatherly mask as he glided down the empty castle staircases and went down to Rubeus' house for some nice tea. "Good morning Rubeus. Could I bother you with a favour?" the old man asked his most loyal follower, knowing that the outcome would .

"Of course, professor Dumbledore, what is it?" Hagrid replied voice full of falsely given duty and worth.

"Well Rubeus, we have both Harry Potter and miss Autumn Riddle needing time be introduced into the Wizarding world tomorrow. I thought that seeing as she and Harry are... doomed to have the most interseting school lives, they would like their own introductions into our world." 

"So you want me to pick up Harry tomorrow?"

The supposed leader of the light was visibly glad Rubeus is his 'friend'. "If you would not mind."
I walk away from the hut and head to my office. This is going to be quite the task..

31st July
(Autumn PoV)
I run down the orphanage stairs gaining two 'stern' looks. One from a man wearing peculiar, blue clothes that looked like something from a fairy-tale. The other was looking more concerned than disappointed, coming from the matron, the person who raised me along with the other orphans. 

I stared at the ground awaiting a lecture or at least some stern words for scaring her and the younger, newer children.

Neither of the two happened.

"Happy birthday dear." The matron, whom I had taken to calling 'aunt Liz' said to me with tears in her voice. Something bad was about to happen. I could feel it in the air...

"Happy birthday miss. Riddle, I have been assigned to reacquaint you with the wizarding world, the one that you were forced to leave behind when you were little over one. My name is Albus Dumbledore and I am headmaster of Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry. I was the person who had the heart-breaking task of removing you from the Wizarding world after both of your parents passed on. I expect that you have some questions surrounding your parents, our world and your new school but I believe that you still have birthday activities to attend. While you are partaking in said celebrations, I will be ensuring that you can contact the others here should you wish."

"I-thanks? I mean wow! Great! I don't know what to say. Why'd you pick me though?"

"I didn't pick you, the world did. Have you had any family come round? Does Lyall or Remus Lupin ring any bells?"

"Autumn has never been contacted by her blood relatives however, we did receive contact from a one Narcissa Black-Malfoy when she heard that we were raising her."

The man nodded slowly and was turning his back when he said to go into the loft once I had finished the activities with whom I considered my family.

The next two hours will always be one of the happiest periods of my life. This was the last day I could pretend to be normal around my family.. I will always remember that time as the last time I was truly happy for the next month.

The supposed headmaster took me by the arm as I entered the attic of our big orphanage and pulled into what felt like a tube surrounding me.

—Time skip to Diagon alley—(3rd person PoV)

The unlikely pair had just spent the last hour getting to and from the riddle family vault so they could purchase the new student's school supplies.

The wizard pulled Autumn to 'Madame Malkins Robes For All Occasions' where she was promptly surrounded by magic bands of sorts. As the dizzying bands finished, the small girl had accidentally stumbled into a boy around her own age(though he was significantly taller than autumn). As soon as she opened her eyes, she realised what had just occurred. She was laying clumsily on top of a platinum-blonde-haired boy (she recognised that he was a Malfoy because Dumbledore had told her that they were friends with my parents). They were both being looked down upon by another boy their age with messy jet black hair and shockingly green eyes. 

She had a feeling that her and emerald-eyes were not going to get along. AT ALL...
