Allen noticed that Harry didn't know what to do and that Ron was too young and immature to understand.
"That happened when he was a baby; Harry didn't have self-awareness," Allen looked at Harry. "From Harry's perspective, he's in a completely new world, being the center of attention. That's stressful, isn't it, Ronald Wesley?"
Ron sat without being able to argue against it, then turned to Harry, realizing he was pressuring him, treating him like a hero or something, and apologized. Harry shook his head, accepted the apology, and smiled in gratitude to Allen.
The atmosphere improved, and a woman passed by selling sweets. Ron couldn't buy it due to his family's situation, but Harry took out several Galleons and bought everything on the cart.
Allen sighed; the Potters are famous for being great alchemists, and their potions made them a fortune. Harry, as the heir, has money to waste.
Allen, on the other hand, grabbed a magical chocolate and tasted it. "Tastes like dirt?! Who's the son of a ... who makes these things..."
Harry and Ron laughed, and the tension between the three disappeared.
Allen had a talent for dealing with children, which was extremely appreciated by the women in his chat. However, he refused to accept the reality himself.
There were moments when Ron explained magical sweets to both of them; however, they were interrupted by an angry shout.
"Walker!"
A slim, blond boy with a haughty manner looked at Allen as if he had killed his parents.
"Draco Malfoy!" Ron exclaimed.
Allen, on the other hand, completely ignored Draco, which only made the blond angrier. Draco was tempted to draw his wand to attack Allen but refrained, looking at Ron with disdain and then at Harry.
"Harry Potter, people like us shouldn't be with this riff-raff!" Draco said insidiously but courteously to Harry. At the same time, Draco sought a reaction from Allen, but he continued to ignore him.
"What do you mean?!" Ron got upset and stood up from his seat.
"What I said, that hair! that face! you're just a poor Wesley!" Ron sat back down after being scolded.
Harry, seeing his friends attacked, summoned the courage to confront Draco.
"I don't know who you are, but I won't let you insult us like that!"
Draco looked a bit offended at Harry but introduced himself. "I'm Draco Malfoy from the prestigious pure-blood family, the Malfoys. I heard that Harry Potter had appeared after ten years, and as a fellow pure-blood, I decided you were worthy of a friend." Draco smiled and offered his hand once he introduced himself, expecting Harry to understand who he should be with.
"I don't know what a pure-blood is, but you're not very nice," Harry responded without shaking his hand. No matter how important Draco was, Harry valued sincerity more than social status.
Allen smirked inwardly. Draco was already upset by Allen's presence, and Harry's daring to challenge him only made him angrier. And seeing Allen's mocking smile pushed him over the edge.
"I thought I could honor you with a friendly relationship, Harry Potter!" Draco looked at Allen with disdain and then at Harry. "But I see you chose the traitor and a Wesley over a pure-blood!."
Allen snorted.
All the interaction between Harry and Draco was different from how it should have been, and they ended up meeting on the train rather than before the sorting ceremony. This was clearly due to his existence, but everything ended with a lasting enmity between Harry and Malfoy as it should have been.
Harry looked at Allen upon hearing himself called a traitor. Allen blinked at the tension and chuckled with a mixture of mockery.
"Don't worry about it, Harry, he's just mad because my father put him in Azkaban," Allen smiled at Malfoy's furious look. "As for calling me a traitor, it's because my father was a Slytherin like them."
Ron choked on a candy upon hearing that information, he didn't expect Allen to address the issue so casually.
Draco's lackeys got nervous knowing that was a sensitive topic, and Draco turned red with anger, looking like he was ready to use an Unforgivable Curse on Allen, of course, if he knew one.
"Someday you and your corrupt father will pay!!" Draco stormed off with his lackeys, leaving the three of them behind.
Allen snorted and cast a spell. "Slip..."
Draco slipped and fell to the ground out of nowhere, feeling humiliated. He scolded his lackeys before walking away.
Gwen – That was childish but satisfying!
Emma Watson – I had forgotten how annoying Draco was haha, of course, it was just acting in my case, but Tom tried to be unpleasant.
...
In the cabin, Ron's face brightened as he saw Draco fall, and Harry laughed. This relieved the tension among them.
Harry, on the other hand, was confused but didn't know if it was appropriate to ask. Allen looked at the curious boy who couldn't hold back and explained everything to him.
"No way..." Harry sighed incredulously. At the same time, his animosity towards Draco grew when he learned that his father was a henchman of the monster who killed his parents.
Allen's father was some kind of wizard police, and Draco's father was a pure-blood wizard who was like nobility in the magical world. However, secretly he was dark and very dangerous, serving Voldemort.
Lucius Malfoy was captured by Allen's father and imprisoned in Azkaban.
Harry understood that Draco's resentment towards Allen was irreconcilable.
"Thanks for standing up for me haha," Allen laughed, embarrassing Harry. "I guess you'll be sorted into Gryffindor..." Allen added, but Harry didn't understand the reason.
"T-that's b-because," Ron spoke with his mouth full of sweets, "At Hogwarts, there are four houses to which you can be assigned. Gryffindor stands out because its students are naturally brave."
Harry was embarrassed because he didn't believe he was someone like that.
[Host, it seems your plan to be a spectator won't work anymore]
'Yeah...'
Allen shrugged; that's life, you never know what's going to happen. Allen ended up with Harry in his first year.
Allen stood up, saying he was going to the bathroom, to avoid interrupting Harry, Ronald, and Hermione's meeting.
...
Allen walked out into the hallway, and unexpectedly, a frog jumped in front of him, and he made it float in front of him.
"This is..." Allen frowned, feeling a bad feeling.
"Excuse me, is that frog from... "
Allen turned to see a girl speaking to him... it was Hermione. Unfortunately for Allen, he wanted to avoid meeting her before she met the pair.
"Y-you! and m-me," Hermione froze upon seeing Allen and lost the ability to speak.
'Shit, I changed the canon again'
[Host, be careful, she's underage]
'You don't have to remind me!'
Emma Watson – Oh god, this is awkward and embarrassing!
From Emma's perspective in the chat, it was like seeing embarrassing photos of herself in an old album.
Allen saw the girl with her mouth open and approached to hand her the frog.
"Don't worry, I have no intention of stealing it," Allen smiled and prepared to leave immediately.
Hermione reached out and grabbed Allen's hand, putting him in a tense state.
FBI - This development of events is interesting.
Allen smiled, maintaining his innocence until the end. "What do you need?"
Hermione didn't know what to say, or even understand why she had stopped Allen. She began to feel embarrassed
Allen on the other hand had a bead of sweat dripping from his forehead. He made sure that nothing that happened would land him in jail.
The women's gaze in his Chat felt like thorns on his back. Allen wanted to retort that he didn't seek out these situations and was just another victim.
After two minutes, Allen decided that this situation was too silly, and simply thought of Hermione as another student.
"My name is Allen W. Walker."
Hermione snapped out of her daze and introduced herself. "I'm Hermione Granger... and in the future, I'll be a great witch."
She immediately turned pale upon hearing her own words.
Emma Watson - It's not my fault; that's how the character is!! *Wants someone to kill her to avoid embarrassment*
Allen watched as Hermione turned pale to the point of wanting to escape.
"That's a coincidence; I aspire to surpass Dumbledore as a wizard," Allen said with a smile.
Hermione widened her eyes, seeing no hint of mockery or disdain from him. She was touched but at the same time didn't know how to respond as everyone treated her as someone inferior to having both Muggle parents. Her insecurities came out and she said something she didn't want to say to avoid embarrassment.
"It's impossible for you, Dumbledore is the most powerful wizard in history outside of legends like Merlin and Rasputin. Thinking of surpassing him is childish—" Hermione bit her tongue as she began to tremble. Allen could even see tears of frustration in her eyes. She must have thought she had ruined a possible friendship.
Emma Watson - Stupid girl, can't she just shut up?! Allen, I swear she doesn't mean it from the heart; she's just dumb! *Emma threw her keyboard against the wall after finishing typing.*
Allen blinked amusedly as Hermione ruined things the more she spoke.
Allen didn't get angry, he understood that she had no intention of insulting him and simply gave him a sympathetic smile in response
Hermione didn't know how to apologize for her words and felt bad about denying the wish of someone who had previously shown support for her dream.
Allen wasn't a child and didn't take offense at the words of a girl who had a long way to go, so he, of course, gave Hermione an out.
"It won't be easy, that's true," Allen chuckled at her. "Well, we'll see, Miss. By the way, it's interesting that you're helping a fellow student you just met. I thought you'd be suitable for Ravenclaw, but seeing that, I think Gryffindor will have another model student."
With those words, Allen fled, leaving Hermione stunned and at a loss for words.
It could have been a normal comment from Allen's point of view, but this caused her to blush and Allen turned pale, realizing he had made a mistake by getting involved with her so much.
The Chat brutally mocked Allen.
Allen prayed that their interaction would be short enough to avoid trouble and being accused of horrible things.
Allen returned to Harry and Ron, who had a questioning look as they saw him a bit pale.
"It's nothing," Allen said, grabbing a Tabasco sauce candy. Today wasn't his day.
The rest of the trip was normal, although Allen's intervention delayed the destined meeting of the three. He didn't believe he could easily avoid the threads of fate.
Upon arriving at the station, all the first-year students were called by Hagrid. The appearance and size of the half-giant made everyone sigh, except Allen and Harry.
Allen felt two intense stares on his back, one from Draco and the other from Hermione. He also noticed the gaze of a girl in his direction, she had light brown hair. Allen felt like he had seen her before but couldn't remember where.
...
Allen looked in a certain direction where a striking man was getting off the Hogwarts Express, it was Allen Walker, or rather Artoria in his appearance.
To avoid suspicion, Artoria would replace him when he became a student, and Rebecca would replace him when he became a teacher...
The students made a commotion with Allen's arrival; however, "he" just smiled and disappeared.
"Impossible!" Hermione exclaimed. "No one should be able to use apparition spells or something similar on the Hogwarts grounds!"
Hagrid noticed the commotion, gave Allen and Harry a nervous look, then spoke. "He's a new teacher who arrived unexpectedly. Many don't know, but he has permission to do that."
Hagrid lied because he didn't even know what Allen had done to bypass the powerful barriers and spells protecting Hogwarts.
...
Everyone boarded their boats and went to the sorting ceremony where their fate would be decided.
===
A/N: Imagine how traumatizing it would be to see a child's version of you doing embarrassing things. hahaha
