Chapter 3

.

Edward scanned the girl who looked more like fourteen- fifteen years old than eleven. Something Edward again blames the hentai logic of this world.

Did you see a frog? It belongs to a boy called Nevil?!" Hermione asked after shaking off her daze, making Edward focus on her.

"I did not," He answered, feeling the mate bond taking its effect as he felt a need to help her.

"Really?!" A flash of disappointment flashed on Hermione's face when she heard Edward.

"Then… I'll go and ask others." Hermione looked unwilling to leave but since she didn't want to intrude or know how to tackle the sudden newfound feelings she's started feeling, she excused herself.

As she turned around to exit the compartment, she froze before turning around and facing Edward again.

"Do need something else?" Edward asked innocently despite knowing fully well her sudden actions were due to him dialling the effects of the mate bond to eleven to test his skill.

"Can… can you help me!"

"Sure," Edward replied though a bit disappointed at her words since he thought she would forget everything and just beside him after feeling such intense emotions.

After agreeing with Hermione, Edward and she began their quest to find the missing Sir Frog, though their quest was meant to fail as the clumsy first year had Sir Frog trapped in his suitcase.

The time they wasted wasn't completely useless for Edward as he got to know just how different this world was compared to the original one.

The perfect and seniors rejected their request as they were having an orgy in their compartment. They didn't even care about the first year watching them, just a bit annoyed at being disturbed by them.

And if that wasn't shockful enough every compartment they open with fifth year and above were having similar activities with very few rarities like a certain seventh-year pink head that looked like Dua Lipa. A very athletic and beautiful Dua Lipa even more so than the original.

'She also had better assets.' Edward thought with a sly grin.

Once they found Sir Frog locked in the suitcase, something Hermione ate Nevil's ear for, Edward and Hermione returned to the former's compartment.

"You're not going to your previous compartment?" Edward asked Hermione as they entered his compartment.

"…No… I'm still angry with Nevil for making run so much for nothing." Hermione replied, giving a perfect excuse which caused Edward to roll his eyes.

"You… you don't want me here." Hermione caught his eye-roll as her own turned teary.

"Absolutely not! In fact, I want you to be here, sitting with me!" Edward panicked at her expression, he quickly explained which caused her to sniff and ask "Really?"

"Yes!" Edward practically shouted.

"Then… then are friends?" Hermione asked with hopeful eyes making him nod. "Of course!"

"Great! You're my second friend! But… I don't know if Nevil and I are friends anymore, since I shouted at him so much." Hermione's face became worried at the thought of losing her first friend, seeing which made Edward console her.

"Don't worry. I'm sure Nevil didn't mind and he also doesn't look like someone with lots of friends so he should also be worried."

"You're so mean, Ed~" Edward's brows rose hearing her shorten his name, something he told her during their search quest.

"Ed?" He questioned with a teasing smile.

Hermione's face blushed as she realised her blunder. "You… you don't like it?"

"No, I like it very much," Edward said with a smile making Hermione's blush deepen.

Just as he prepared to tease her more, the announcement of reaching Hogwarts sounded, making him a bit annoyed.

"You change first. I'll wait outside." After saying that Edward exited the compartment and shut the door. About five minutes later, Hermione opened the door and exited wearing her robe.

When she exited, Edward entered the compartment and donned his robe. Once done he called her in and they waited for the train to reach Hogwarts.
