Reviewers:

Thank you! I am glad you like my story! It will be a little confusing and sudden but I will explain it later on!

They walked away. As they were walking back they saw something. A body staying still. Just still. Angel yelled, "I know who this is! Its my brother Mario!" Angel burst into tears.

Hermione got a little teary eyed. She new what was happening. The chamber of secrets. When she was petrified she remembered a horrible experience. Mario seemed to be at least in his first year. Hermione was getting angry. She knew Tom had did this. The thing that hurt her was that she could not tell or else tom would get angry and stuff and then she would have no chance to make him good.

They helped Mario to the Hospital Wing. Angel did not want to leave her brother in such a sad time. Would you? They slowly pulled the kicking and crying Angel out of the room.

On her was to Transfiguration Hermione ran into someone. A chubby little 3rd year with glasses. Mourning Myrtle. "Awww I am so sorry. Here let me help you." , Hermione said while helping her pick up her things. "*Sniff* thanks….I wasn't watching where I was going *sniff* Olive Hornby that's all."

Hermione nodded and walked to class. When she looked back she saw a pretty little girl with blond curly hair laughing and pointing at Myrtle. This must be Olive. Hermione walked up to them and turned to Olive, "You know I was just thinking yesterday about how many detentions you could get for cursing a 3rd year. Then I realized that it would be well worth it if they were to make fun of my friends." Olive's eyes widened and she ran to class. Myrtle looked up, "Thank you", she said. "Anytime" said Hermione. Then they both walked to class.

Hermione realized she was late and ran to Transfiguration! She opened the door and said, "Sorry." and sat down. "It is okay Mrs. Granger I am sure you had a very important reason." Tom came in he also said sorry and found a seat…next to Hermione. Hermione pretended not to notice. Dumbledore assigned a project and they had to do it with the person they were next to. Oh! Come on now! That was Clever of you! she thought sarcastically.

Tom turned to her. "I saw you stick up to Moaning Myrtle."

Hermione looked up. "That was pretty great wasn't I? Sometimes I get all shook up when I think of torturing 3rd years. Don't call her moaning Myrtle. Call her Myrtle.", she said.

Tom merely laughed.

"What's so funny?", she asked.

"Your sarcasm." he said.

"it's a girl thing", she replied.

"Your not like the other girls here."

Hold on…does he know? "What do you mean", she asked coolly. Oooh! I am SUCH a good actress!

"You don't melt over me like the others. You don't giggle like a loon ether ."

Hermione was a little confused. "Oh…gosh…thanks."

"Anytime."

Hermione returned back to her work.

For the rest of the day Tom was trying to sit next to Hermione. The worst thing is….he succeeded! Nooooo! Hermione was finding this quite annoying and remembered her duty was to become his friend and protect him from his evil wish.

At the great hall Hermione was still trying to comfort Angel. "Angel…Mario will be okay…a simple potion could bring him back."

"Then why isn't he on the other side of the table talking to his friends?", she said her eyes blurry and red from crying.

"Angel, it takes time-"

"I want him back now!" she said as she leaned against Hermione for support. Tom was at the Slytherin table watching. Hermione looked hurt. Very hurt. Maybe since Angel is a mudblood I can petrify her. Hermione would be hurt. By that time we would be close. She would come to me. I can be sweet. Maybe she can love me as much as I love her. That's it.. Tonight. He watched Angel leave early. He followed her.

Hermione walked back from dinner with Mary. They found a petrefied Angel in front of the entrance to the Ravenclaw common room. Mary burst into tears. Hermione fell on her knees in front of Angel. She felt her ant. Ice. Tears were know running down from Hermione's cheeks. They quickly dropped Angel off to the Hospital wing so no one would suspect them and they wouldn't leave their friend.

Later that night Hermione couldn't sleep. She decided to take a walk around Hogwarts. She didn't care about the Caretaker or Prefects. She turned a corner. Tom.
