"So how are your roommates?" asked Tom as he and Hermione made their way down tot he Great Hall earning stares as they did. The student body was not use to the head boy walking without his group of friends much less with a pretty girl no one knew. "Okay Katie is nice. A little energetic for my taste but nice. Sara is okay a little boy crazy but besides that it looks like it will be a good year." said Hermione honestly. "I am glad you like them and between you and I Sara will be the woman who gets married 7 times." said Tom with a smile, casing Hermione to laugh. Merlin she has a beautiful laugh. No stop Tom she does not. Do not distract yourself form your plan for some girl. But she would make a great Dark Lady. Strong, powerful, beautiful. She could be my own angel of death. "Tom are you alright you seem lost in thought." said Hermione interrupting his inner monologue. "Yes I am fie thank you." said Tom forcing a smile back on his face. "Well Miss. Dumbledore here we are the Great Hall." said Tom as they approached the doors. 'Thank you for escorting me to dinner Tom." she said with a small smile. "No problem. Here I will walk you to your table. It is kinda hard to tell them apart when we aren't in our uniforms." he said as he lead her to the Gryffindor table and next to Katie and Sara. "Enjoy your dinner Hermione." said Tom as he kissed the back of her hand. "You too Tom." she said laughing at his antics.

"Who is that?" said Abrax Malfoy when Tom sat down. "That is Hermione Dumbledore." said Tom turning to look at Malfoy. "Dumbledore?" said the shocked Slitherin. "Yep, the old bats niece." said Tom looking at Hermione as she interacted with her house mates. "She is pretty." said Athena Black. "She is powerful." stated Malfoy. "She is. You can feel it when she enters a room." said Riddle "What are you planing?" said Black smirking. "Well I feel like she could make a good Dark Lady if we could get her to switch sides. Don't you think?" He said not really caring what they thought. "She would do great. The power she has the way she holds herself she could do it." said Malfoy honest with his assessment of Hermione. "What about you Black. What do you think." asked Tom truly interested in what the definition of pure-blood tradition had to say about Hermione. "She is something. She is smart, strong, sexy. I can tell that just by looking at her. I think she will fit you well Tom. I also think you should go after her. She is to strong. You can see it the respect she had for who knows what reason for Moody. You will have to prove to her that we are the good guys." said Athena thoughtfully. "How do we make her think we are the good guys. We aren't Black in case you didn't notice." said Malfoy laughing. "I think we should turn one or both of the roommates against her. I can befriend her comfort her when they turn their back on her." said Athena with a smirk on her face. "I am sure we can come up with something. Riddle and I are kinda bright Malfoy. I mean I know I can't speak for you but." said Athena as Malfoy cut her off complaining about how he wasn't stupid, caused Athena and Tom to laugh.
