Harry was thrilled at that. It set his heart racing at a thunderous tempo. There was so much Hermione didn't yet know, so much he couldn't wait to share with her. She had no idea who she was, or who she could be. Who they could be. His own awakening had been so monumental ... it brought a smile to his mind just remembering it. It made him laugh to think that a circus conjurer like Tom Riddle would be presumptuous enough to position himself as a threat to that.
