A.N. Review pls

She woke up bright and early feeling exhausted. She wanted nothing more than to collapse back on her bed and go to sleep. But she knew quite well that she had to go down to make a good first impression to everyone in the great hall, especially Tom Riddle and the teachers, so down to the great hall she went. Unsurprisingly she was the first one down, after all, it was 5:30 am. Less than 5 minutes later Tom Riddle was down in the great hall to eat. He sat down right next to her, said good morning and put some food on his plate. She hadn't been able to eat much because of not being able to eat that much while on the run with Harry and Ronald. Tom looked at her with genuine concern laced in his voice he said,

"Why aren't you eating that much".

"I was on the run and I didn't get to eat much Riddle." Hermione replied.

"Well, you are at Hogwarts now so eat as much as you can and please call me Tom." Tom said kindly wrapping an arm around her.

"The only problem is that I can't get any more food down."

" Ah well eat as much as you can so that you will be able to eat more later on."

" Thank you Tom. What time is it Tom?"

" Don't worry Hermione class is in 2 hours. In the meantime, you can spend time with me if you would like."

"Sure I would love to spend time with you." She said not showing her true feelings on that topic.

"Let's go to the library." said Tom.

" Sure I love libraries." The walk to the library was uneventful. When they reached the library Tom asked Hermione what she liked to read. "Anything and everything." was what she said in reply to his question. And so Tom Marvolo Riddle and Hermione Evans sat down beside each other and began to read. Hermione couldn't focus on her book. After all, her mind was full of thoughts about a certain pale-skinned, dark-haired wizard who was sitting next to her. How on Earth could this kind entity be Lord Voldemort? Right actor.
