Well, so it was Hagrid! That makes sense since they’re around the same age. I admit one of the hardest parts of guessing potential candidates was finding people who were actually contemporaries of Riddle… and there were basically none. Either they’re at least 20 years older or younger, sometimes way more.
Still, it was fun to figure out. 😄
Now I’m super curious and excited to see if we’ll learn more about how Hagrid and Riddle ended up dating. I imagine that, since Hagrid wasn’t expelled here, he was able to finish school and is much more resourceful and competent than he was in the books?
I’m not sure if we’ll get more about them in this book or the next ones, but I really hope it’s in this one!
I’m also not surprised that Regulus is alive, I kind of expected him to show up more in the later books. So does that mean this year we’ll get a confrontation between Sirius and Regulus? I really hope we get some brotherly interactions between them, even if they’re on opposite sides.
As for Sirius, I guess he’s here to support Harry if it turns out James has been imprisoned… unless he managed to escape Azkaban again.
And I’m honestly thrilled that we’re getting three updates a week instead of two!
Can’t wait to see how Draco’s second year unfolds. Will we get to see more interactions with Greg and Vince? I absolutely loved how you wrote their friendship with him in your other fics! 😊
