Tom Riddle's plans fall through when Ginny Weasley loses his diary shortly after starting her first year and it is found by one Luna Lovegood. A series of bizarre conversations follow. Luna? - Yes Tom? - I've been giving this a lot of thought...and I believe you may be insane. (Not crack. I repeat, not crack ! Plot takes a few chapters to appear but it's there)

Hermione is torn apart by the war. Even when it ends, life hasn't finished causing her pain. But she gets a job, and finds a way that could perhaps mend her heart, as well as save another's. It also happens to be a way to save countless lives. In short: Hermione Granger adopts Tom Riddle as soon as he's born. One-shot. Very simple.
