*choo* *bang*
A boy startled awake by the whistle and jerk when the train started moving, He looked around in confusion before everything setteled. He suddenly blurted," shit, I really travelled to here. that form didn't lie. I thought it's a children's game who would have thought i will really appear here ".
He is Damian Vane. He is an employee in a software company, but during the night shift when he is bored in work, a form suddenly appeared in his email telling him to fill it. Damian thought it's a nice joke and played along.
When he finished filling the form he is sent to this world immediately in the body of a child from a wizard family not muggle born or pureblood. Just a family with wizards since the last three genrations. It's just like what he entered in the form. In that compartment he is alone. As Damian settled down with a sigh. The door opened just then and a girl with brown hair asked him dragging her trunk and breathing heavily," other cabins *pant* are all full. *Pant* can I sit here? ".
" Sure ", Damian said. As she entered the cabin, she pushed the trunk down the seat and slumoed on the opposite seat. Then she said," I'm Hermione Granger. Nice to meet you. I wish I have mastered the Levitation charm properly. When I tried the trunk didn't even budge as it's too heavy for the spell ".
Damian nodded and said," so you learned some spells before coming to Hogwarts ", from the memories of Damian in the last 11 years. Damian is just like any other kid except he behaves a little mature than others. A fitting description to hide his past life.
Hermione face lit up with a smile as she said," yes, I learned the mending charm and wand lighting charm along with few basic spells. What about you? ", Damian said," same here. My mom and dad didn't let me use their wand until I got Hogwarts letter. They only taught me basic spells too ".
Hermione asked," can you show me a spell then?", Damian thought and nodded. He took out his wand and said," ventus ", a small breeze appeared from his wand and blew towards the girl. It didn't do anything except messing up her hair a little.
" That's one of the spells. And sorry about the hair", looking at Hermione who is arranging her hair he said while she replied," it's fine. The wind spells is one of the basic ones and also very useful. Do you like reading books about magic? Do you think I'll fall behind the wizarding families? You know their parents may have taught them some spells ".
Damian shook his head and said," no Hermione even among magicfolk, children aren't allowed to use magic. Parents usually avoid teaching them magic until Hogwarts letter arrives. Just like me, many others families also follow this. So you don't need to worry about falling behind ".
Hermione seemed to breath a sigh of relief. As she is thinking, a knock on door them interrupted their conversation. Damian opened the door to see a boy who is trying to drag his trunk. But he is even more tired compared to Hermione.
The boy has timid look and pale face. He asked," can I sit here? I can't find a seat in any other compartments as they're all full. Do you mind if I take a seat ", Damian said," not at all. Come in ", the boy dragged his luggage inside but seeing the two trunks below the seat he tried to lift the heavy trunk.
Damian helped the boy as he introduced himself," thanks for the help. I'm Neville longbottom ", Damian shook his hand and said," Damian Vane. Nice to meet you Neville ", Hermione also intro used herself," I'm Hermione Granger. Nice to meet you ".
Damian sat back and started at his system screen that's suddenly popped up.
[ Mission : Find Neville longbottom's lost toad ]
[ Rewards : One Lottery draw, +30 points ]
Damian frowned and asked," system where is the beginner gift pack. I thought there would be something like that at least ", the system replied :
[ Beginner gift pack is placed in inventory ]
Damian opened the inventory. It's like minecraft inventory but all blue in colour with a 10 inventory slots. It can also be expanded by using points. For the first 10 inventory boxes to expand it costs 50 points for each box or he can get additional inventory boxes from the lottery.
As Damian is thinking, Neville yelled," no, I lost my Trevor. It's my uncle's present to me. He will kill me if I lose Trevor ", he started crying. Damian and Hermione looked at each other while Damian said," I'll go help him find the toad. First we need to search this entire compartment ".
Damian said while searching the cabin carefully but he didn't find it there. He exited the cabin and searched the section of the train he is in. But he still didn't find it. Damian started searching other cabins and sections. Knocking on the doors and asking the students and seniors there while searching the train.
After 3 sections he found the toad in a corner trying to push the glass door he immediately grabbed it with the box he got from Neville. When he returned he only saw Hermione in bad mood and a dejected Neville. Damian gave the box to Neville and said," that's your toad right? ".
Neville observed the toad in the box and breathed a sigh of relief before saying," yes, this is my Trevor. Thank you for the help Damian ", Damian nodded and asked," why is she fuming? Did someone rob her off her lolipop? ".
Hermione glared at him and said," no I met two rude boys in the other cabin. One of them spoke too much and called me mental behind my back ", Damian asked," oh! So you met two rude boys. Then who is the other one? ".
Hermione said," it's Harry Potter. I thought he would look very noble and handsome but all I see is a skinny pile of bones wearing broken round spectacles. I even repaired it for him. But these guys said some rude things about me as soon as I exited the cabin ".
