Hogwarts express

"What? did you just say you want to invest on me?" Randolph Spudmore questioned Anthony.

"Yes, I have 5000 galleons. Would that be enough?" Said Anthony with confidence.

Two weeks ago, on the 7th of August, Anthony couldn't sit still in the Leaky Cauldron and went to the Gringotts and inquired about his mother's lineage the Lefrancois.

It is just happened that Manuel Lefrancois and Victoria Lefrancois were Anthony's grandparents and Ginette Lefrancois was the last heir of the Lefrancois family.

After the death of her mother, the Lefrancois family did not have any other heir except Anthony. Therefore in the French ministry of magic, Anthony Lefrancois Dumbledore the apparent heir to Lefrancois ancient house was registered magically.

The British Gringotts bank contacted its branch in France and confirmed that Anthony had a magically bound trust vault, with annual limit of 5000 galleons. After seven days of paperwork, Anthony become the sole inheritor of Lefrancois family properties that would sum up to 200,000 galleons. Unfortunately, for Anthony, he does not have the right to spend a single knut except his allowance in the trust vault.

In the present time, when Anthony was about to exchange his galleons into Muggle currency and invest into Muggle technological companies, he happened to overhear Tom and Randolph's conversation.

Randolph was looking at Anthony with a round big eyes.

"But you are only eleven years old, howcome do you have this amount of money?" Asked Randolph Spudmore with questioning heart.

"It doesn't matter how I got the money, but the main point is do you need investment?" said Anthony with a strong voice. Actually, it was the very first time for him to spend his own fund for investment.

In his previous life, he always wanted to time travel and buy some bitcoins prior to its price was 1 dollar and sell it for 17000 dollars in 2017.

"Yes, ofcourse. But, I don't have the final model broom yet. It may take several years to create the fastest broom in the world. Are you confident that I would succeed?" Randolph Sputmore asked from Anthony with a hesitant voice.

Not every day an investor would be eager to invest on him. Mostly his old classmates and people he used to know would pity him and would give him some galleons or some sickles . But an eleven year old boy investing 5000 galleons? Perhaps it is the once in a lifetime opportunity for Randolph.

"Fifty, fifty share. I will take half of the profit and you will take the other half" said Anthony, raising his palm

Randolph who saw the ever confident eyes of black haired Anthony, he become determined. If an eleven year old boy can trust me, why not trusting himself?

"Agreed" Randolph shaked Anthony's hand. Anthony helped Randolph to raise from the floor and collect the broom model drawings. Anthony paid Randolph's previous debt to Tom the owner of Leaky cauldron.

Soon after an hour later they established an Magical contract stating that hereby on the 21st of August,1991 Anthony Lefrancois Dumbledore and Randolph Sputmore has founded Firebolt Company and has equal share with voting rights.

The young Randolph Sputmore and the child Anthony Lefrancois Dumbledore rent Anthony's current occupied room till the 10th of June, 1992 next year.

They talked with each other frantically, brainstormed many ideas towards the Firebolt model. Randolph forget that he was talking with an eleven year old boy and already accepted Anthomy as his equal.

On the first of September, 1991. Kings Cross Station, London.

Randolph become Anthony's partner as well as the first friend after his reincarnation. Randolph helped Anthony to enter platform 9 3/4 and put his luggage into the storage.

After deciding to communicate their business ideas and progress through letters once in a week, Anthony entered the Hogwarts express and occupied an empty compartmeny.

Anthony was reading Potions first year textbook quietly. Due to Severus Snape's harsh teaching behavious towards students, better to be ready for his questions rather than to be a laughing stock of the entire class.

'Hogwarts, my magical journey life..

It is finally beginning' he thought inwardly. In the past month and a half, living in the magical Britain allowed Anthony to used to various magical events.

"Excuse me, do you mind if I sit here" a weak male voice was sounded.

Anthony, still reading the potions textbook answered casually "Of course, I wouldn't mind.". Since it is his first time seeing an actual Hogwarts student besides Randolph, he become curious and saw the boy who sat opposite to him.

At this moment, the Hogwarts express made a loud steam whistle and the rail started to squeal.

The boy sitting opposite to Anthony had was slim as if he is malnourished. He wore big clothes that doesn't suit him as well as round glasses that look very familiar. Therefore a lightning bolt like scar could be vaguely seen behind his black hair.

"My name is Harry Potter, nice to meet you" the boy in front of Anthony gave his hand which indicates his desire to shake hands.

'Oh no, no, no! Not the boy who lived!' Anthony thought inwardly. But seeing the genuine famous Harry Potter in front of him for the first time. He become excited and shaked his hands.

"Anthony. Anthony Lefrancois Dumbledore, nice to meet you." Anthony introduced himself.

'Perhaps it is destiny to meet the boy who lived or it is just that I am unluckily and randomly choose the empty compartment that Harry Potter should have occupy. Anyways, since it actually happen. Let it be" Anthony muttered to himself.

"Pardon me, what book are you reading?" Harry Potter asked curiously. Obviously it was the potions textbook which he purchased from Diagon Alley, but to no avail his uncle Dursley and aunt Petunia prohibited to read magical books under their roof.

"Oh, its the Potions textbook for the first years. Magical Drafts and Potions by Arsenius Jigger. I met the potions professor of Hogwarts and he seens to be stingy towards his students. I recommend you to prepare for his class before you reach Hogwarts." Anthony said with a gentle tone.

After talking about potions for a while, a rdd haired boy knocked the compartment door and said "Excuse me, do you two mind if I sit here, the other compartments are full."

"Not at all" said Harry.

Ron sat next to Anthony and introduced himself.

"I'm Ron by the way, Ron Weasley."

"Harry, Harry Potter" said Harry

"Anthony, Anthony Lefrancois Dumbledore" replied Anthony

For Anthony seeing the iconical first meeting of Ron Weasley and Harry Potter began to make him feel like seeing the movie in 4D.

"Whoa, So-so, is it true, I mean do you really have the..." Ron said with a stammering voice.

"The what?" said Harry with a puzzled face

"The scar" said Ron.

Soon Harry flipped his hair backwards and revealed his iconic scar to Ron.

Ron Weasley looked at Harry's scar as if he is looking at a historical item.

Anthony thought that Ron Weasley is exremely rude for asking the other person's most dark memory reminder as if nothing happened.

But seeing Harry's it's nothing to be ashamed of face, Anthony began to like Harry Potter's characteristic of being just himself.

Soon after, Ron just began to recall Anthony's last name and asked again.

"Anthony, did you just say your name is Anthony Leracus Dumbledore?"

"It's Anthony Lefrancois Dumbledore, not Leracus and yes my granduncle is Albus Percival Brian Wulfric Dumbledore. The Albus Dumbledore"

Ron Weasley had a big round eye and looked at Anthony and Harry. He never thought that his compartment mates would be the boy who lived and the grandnephew of Albus Dumbledore. Thinking about his own background, he started to feel inferior comparing himself with the other two.

"Anthony, sorry for asking. In my Hogwarts letter, If I recall correctly, was the headmaster Albus Dumbledore?" Harry asked with a curious tone.

Anthony appreciated Harry's indistinctive approach to people with status and decided to befriend him no matter what.' Since god sent the boy who lived as his friend, let's just cherish this moment and grab this chance.'

"Harry, sorry for not telling you. But yes, he is my granduncle. But I have lived in an orphanage for my whole life before I met with my granduncle just one month ago. For me, he is just my blood relative who did not know me that I exist for ten whole years. It is something sensitive that I would not like to talk about." Anthony said truthfully.

After hearing Anthony's backstory, Harry Potter understood that he and Anthony is from the same background. Orphans.

As for Ron Weasley, he met his caring family just prior to entering platform 9 3/4 and knows that he is different.

A woman that was pushing a trolley full of candies soon aproached and asked the boys breaking the awkward moment. "Anything of the trolley, dears?"

Ron holds up his mushed sandwitches and said "No thanks, I am all set."

Anthony and Harry Potter at the same time took some Galleons from their pocket and said at the same time "We'll take the lot!"

After some time, Anthony who recalled that soon Hermione Granger would come, deliberately asked Ron and Harry whether they can spellcast a charm.

For Anthony, Hermione Granger is a super computer and doesn't want to change the story too much.

Anthony took the initiative and took out his wand and casted "Lumos!"

Harry Potter and Ron Weasley seeing Anthony successfully casting a spell, become amazed.

Hermione Granger a girl with Bushy hair approached the compartment and soon when she saw Anthony casting a light making charm, she become interested and sat beside the boys.

She asked whether the boys has seen a toad, a freshman named Neville Longbottom has lost his toad.

"Lumos, The Lumos spell allows wizards to create a light from the tip of the wand and lighen around. Lumos is one of the handiest spells in a Wizard's arsenal" said the Young witch as if she is reading the book.

Soon she faced Harry Potter and said "Occulus Reparo"

Harry Potter's half broken glasses was repaired instantly and Harry took of and looked at his glass.

When Hermione saw Harry's scar, she said "You are Harry Potter!"

"Hermione, Hermione Granger" she introduced herself.

"Anthony Lefrancois Dumbledore" said Anthony

"Ron Weasley" said Ron

Anthony was looking at Hermione as if looking at Emma Watson, the actor Hermione Granger. He thought how beautiful woman she would become in the future. But dismissed the thought instantly.

'Better to not mess with the timeline. Being friends with Hermione is still okay" thought Anthony inwardly

Soon enough, Hermione reminded the boys they need change their clothes to Hogwarts robe and in few minutes they would reach Hogwarts. After that she left the compartment and left the boys.
