When they arrived at Hogwarts, the first years were sorted as always. Minerva was sorted into Gryffindor just as she was in canon. She took her seat beside Charlus since she doesn't know anyone else in Gryffindor yet.

When the Slytherins returned to the common room, Slughorn welcomed the first years as he always does.

As Slughorn left the common room after his little speech, the Slytherin council called a meeting to bring in the second years as usual. Once everyone had arrived, Tom brought everyone into the mirror dimension.

There the second years were brought into the fold. This year a few of them actually challenged him to a fight which was amusing. With his current magic reserves and skill, Tom could easily take on a high-level duelist by now.

Although, he isn't sure how he would fare against opponents like Dumbledore and Grindelwald. With the pace he's advancing at, he'll hopefully be on their level when the time comes to face Grindelwald.

Once every single one of the second years swore their oath and received a mark, Tom had an announcement.

"Alright, listen up!" Tom called drawing everyone's attention. "This year I have some objectives for all of you. You are to start befriending the other houses. Most houses have good relations with us now, but we need to start forming connections. Even Gryffindors are starting to warm up to us nowadays." Tom says and a few people grumble but a glare from him shuts them up quickly.

"Once you've befriended some students from other houses, invite them to eat at our table or eat at theirs. We must integrate ourselves into the other houses. Does anyone have questions or ideas on how to go about this?" Tom asks surveying the crowd.

"What if we start clubs and invite the other houses to join as well?" Druella speaks up.

"Hmm, that's a good idea." Tom says with a nod. "We'll start a study club, book club, sports club, and whatever else you can think of that can draw people to join. Druella, since this is your idea, you're in charge of setting it all up. If you need any extra hands, which you probably will, feel free to command any of my followers."

A proud smile forms on Druellas face. She's excited about this new development. School has been dreadfully boring ever since Tom started teaching her. With this new club job, she'll actually have something to do this year.

"Any more questions or ideas?" Tom asks and no one spoke up.

After taking care of his followers, Tom released them back into the common room. Everyone went to sleep as the long train ride tired them out.

The next day, the Slytherins started mingling with the other houses. Some already had friendly connections with people in other houses, so they invited them to eat breakfast with them or ate at their table.

Others that didn't have connections tried to mingle with other houses during classes or in the hallways. Watching some of these Slytherins try to make friends with the other houses was very entertaining to Tom.

This is Toms fifth year, which means he has to take the Ordinary Wizarding Level (OWL) exams to determine whether he can achieve a score high enough to continue to N.E.W.T.-level (Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test) that will take place in the seventh year.

Those who don't do well on their OWL's will usually graduate early in the fifth year. They don't have to graduate early, but the NEWT's are supposed to be way harder than the OWL's. Spending two more years in school just to fail the NEWT's in seventh year isn't a fun experience, which is why students with low scores are encouraged to graduate early.

Although, Tom doesn't have to worry about this until the end of the school year. It's not like he'll fail anyway. Throughout his five years at Hogwarts, Tom has been number one in every class. The OWL's will be nothing for him.

A week into the school year, Druella and a few other students announced the forming of certain clubs. Every house was welcomed to join and participate in club activities. A bunch of clubs were added to the list and Tom was impressed. Things he didn't think of like Cooking Club, Foreign Language Club, Photography Club, and Art History Club were added to the list among others.

Due to having so many clubs, Druella had to get permission from Headmaster Dippet. The Headmaster had no problems with starting clubs like this as it would promote unity between different houses. The only club that exists in Hogwarts now is the slug club and Slughorn only accepts the best of the best. Dippet thought having clubs that accepted anyone would be good for the school.

The castle was more than big enough to give space to each new club, so there was no problem there. The only problem was funding, which was easily solved by a generous donation from an anonymous source, which was Tom, obviously.

Throughout the week of Hogwarts, Tom has been trying to find a way into the Gryffindor Common room. It's about time he searched for the Cloak of Invisibility. Hopefully, Charlus has it with him, or else Tom will have to start searching Potter properties.

He couldn't find a secret way in, so he simply stole the password from a first year's mind. It was easy as the kid was a muggleborn without any shields.

Before performing his heist, Tom had to come up with a plan. The painting of the fat lady will log him as someone who entered, so he needs to disguise himself or he'll be caught. Tom could just wear a mask but that will definitely tip off the painting and anyone else in the Gryffindor common room.

Before doing anything, Tom opened a portal and left the school. He went to Slytherin manor to speak to Mimsy since he can't call her into the school.

"Mimsy!" Tom called and Mimsy appeared with a *pop*

"Yes, Master!" Mimsy said gleefully as she doesn't get to see her master much when he returns to school.

"Do we have any cloaks of invisibility lying around?" Tom asks and Mimsy thinks for a moment before popping away.

"Like this?" Mimsy says as she appears in the room again along with a bunch of cloaks.

Tom looks them over and picks one that looked good.

'It looks similar enough to the one in the movie, so it may work for the switch...' Tom thought as he eyes the cloak.

"It don't have much magic left in it, but it should last a few more years." Mimsy says as she can feel the magic in the cloak.

Tom puts on the cloak to test it and disappears from Mimsy's sight. Of course, she can still feel where he is as they are connected.

"This is perfect. Thanks, Mimsy!" Tom says as he takes the cloak off and opens a portal back to Hogwarts.
