She gave out the password ('Roast Duck') and
went straight to her dormitory. She took a relaxing hot shower and change into
her PJ's and a blue tank top that written I love Ravenclaw. She went into bed
and kept thinking about Tom. Cool it Herm, you are totally NOT in love with
Tom Riddle. 'Right. I'm not.' she said silently as she coiled into the heavy
blanket. She kept repeating, I am not in love with Tom. I am not in love with
Tom. I am not in love with Tom. I am ... not ..love Tom. I... not ...in love
with Tom.. I am... in love with Tom. I ... love... Tom. Without realizing,
she had fallen into a deep sleep.

*From Tom's POV*
"Is it just me or Hermione really is a
bombshell?" I sighed heavily. I was on my bed. Since I was made a Head Boy, I got my own dorm and
my own common room. But for the last two hours, I've been thinking about nothing
but - Hermione Granger! She really is a head spinner. Just now I heard
those brainless Gryffindor thinking about dating her. HA! too bad, she likes me. Or is she?
What the heck, I've always been able to charm the people I needed.
Come to your senses, Voldemort. Since when do you start liking girls? They're just shallow
creatures who will ruin your
plan to conquer the world. I reminded myself. But then again, Hermione Granger
is so irresistible, it hurts! She's intellectual, confident, and her natural
beauty glows everywhere I saw her. But one girl won't hurt. After
graduate, together we can rule the world in dark forces. Good thinking. And
I'll be the greatest wizard ever on Earth and she'll be my Queen. And with
that, I fell into a very peaceful sleep.
**********
The next day, I woke up 10 minutes to 8a.m. I
swore badly. I took a really quick shower, put on some available not-so-clean
clothes, a robe and my Head Boy pin. I gathered
all the books I can think of and scrambled to the Great Hall. On my way to the
Great Hall, I don't know why, instead of worrying about not having breakfast, (I
usually skipped it anyway) I kept thinking about Hermione. I felt something
weird. It's like, I want her, I need her, so much.
And guess what, my wish came halfway true. I collided with her and we fell to
the floor like broken eggs. I can't stop staring! Then I realized that my
mouth was gaping on her like those dead fishes on a plank that Muggles call
trophies or something. She
was..
Beautiful. An Angel. My heart began to fluttered. There she was, my Hermione. She was wearing her hair loose, and it flows like a melting caramel toffee. Yum! and her lips were cherry red. Jesus, I forgot to have breakfast! I managed to croaked a little "Good m-morning, Hermione". Man, did I just stuttered? She smiled, and replied with a cheerful 'good morning, Tom' and walked away. And then I just thought, nothing can make my mood goes bad today. And I smiled foolishly.
I just walked away to my first class, which is Herbology. YES! Herbology! It had became my favorite subject ever since. Today, Miss Galileo* assigned us to work in pairs. Luckily, I was paired up with none other than Hermione. When Miss Galileo asked to seat in partners, she came to me blushing. This is the time you can show-off your talent. I smirked. The rest of the day went perfectly well.
Before the dinner feast, I saw her walking with
this blond who once confessed her love for me. Not that I'm interested. So, I
kept eyeing her until she was alone which unmistakably headed to the girls'
bathroom. But I managed to grabbed her on her way. She struggled a bit. She was
quite shocked when she saw me. "Tom? What do you think you're doing?" She asked
me in a confused yet angry voice. I bent slightly and kissed her squarely on her
lips.
She was quite shocked at first, but she returned my kiss by the ways. And there
it was, my first, true, passionate kiss. And I shared it with the one I truly
loves. We started to get tensed. Then, she broke the spell slowly. We gasped for
air. "Do you mind telling me why did you do that, just now?" she asked me in a
soft voice.
"Because, I love you Hermione Granger." I
replied calmly and kissed her again then down to her neck. She moaned softly. It
definitely a blissful day.
**********
The next day, it was Saturday and also Christmas. I woke up that morning,
frowning. I am so sure I'd told Hermione that I love her. But why didn't she
replied or say anything about it? It left me wondered. Is it a bad thing
to do? God, I'm so unlucky in love. I went to shower and went to Slytherin's
common room. I saw many of the students who didn't went home on Christmas were
opening their presents. As I neared the Christmas tree, one of my friend,
Malcolm, tossed me a small package wrapped beautifully in green and said "Here's
one for you. Just that one." That's odd. Who would be sending me a Christmas
present when every one knew how I hate Christmas. I shrugged and torn the
wrapping paper apart. It reveal a small brown box. When I opened the box, there
were a pair of green socks with silver Slytherin written on it. And with it,
there stood a small card which read,
To: Tom Marvolo Riddle
Happy Christmas! Hope you'll like the socks.
Love, H.G.
H.G? As in Hermione Granger? My frown slowly turned into smile. "So, who is it from?" Malcolm asked me. "What do you care?" I snapped and left the common room. I placed the socks in my pocket. I can wear these at night. And I grin all the way to the Great Hall for breakfast. As soon after I reached Great Hall entrance , someone in hurry bumped on me. It was very hard that I fell down. "Ouch! Watch where you're going!" I said as I stood up and saw it was "Hermione?" I said in surprised. "Sorry about that." she said, somehow looking embarrassed.
"Oy! Kiss the girl!!" someone shouted. "What?" I heard Hermione muttered looking confused. I looked up and saw a mistletoe was hanging above us. I cleared my throat when Hermione looked at me. I showed her the mistletoe, "Observe." I said and kissed her publicly at the entrance of Great Hall. After the kiss, I saw she's gone beetroot red. "Thanks." she muttered and headed to the Ravenclaw table. I smirked and went to the Slytherin's table.
Just as I sat down, hassles and bustles started everywhere. About Hermione dating me and in Slytherin, they were about how I'm so foolish to developed a liking for a Ravenclaw. I felt my blood boiled up. No matter. One day, they'll be sorry they ever said that. Nobody mess with Lord Voldemort. I took a glance at the Ravenclaw table and saw many girls were crowding Hermione and most of the guys stared coldly. Hermione looked up and caught me staring at her. She smiled. I smiled at her back and decided to finish my breakfast when Malcolm, Ryan and Guy came.
"So, is it true that you're going out with that girl from Ravenclaw?" Guy asked me. I arched my eyebrow, "And what will you do if I am?" I asked him back. Guy just shrugged "Hey, I'm just asking." "Are you going to finish your toasts?" Bryan, who's very large and stupid asked as he took my left-over toasts. "Let me get this straight. You're using to get something. Or maybe.." Malcolm said nonchalantly. "You're just want to make Grace jealous or.." he want on, "you want some sexual tension's going about." he added slyly. "Fools!" I said as I slammed my hand hard on the table. I can't stand it anymore.
"I am and will not doing such thing to her." I said as I stood up and glared at them coldly. Bryan dropped the toast and looked at me frightened. Only them knew that I called myself Lord Voldemort and they knew perfectly to NOT to mess with me. "I. LOVE. HER. Is that all of you wanted to hear?" I asked them as they shrank. I saw that many heads were turned to me. I glared icily at them. Then I looked at Hermione. She looks surprised somehow that she hardly blinked. She blushed furiously and looked down when I smirked at her. I hope she likes me. Well she'd better.
**********
That night, I was heading to Great Hall when I saw Hermione. She was walking alone. Probably from the library. "Hey, Hermione!" I shouted out as I walked towards her. She turned around and smiled when she saw me. "Hi, Tom." she said. "From the library?" I asked. "Yup. Just doing some research. It left me exhausted." she replied casually. "Oh, anyways, thank you for those socks. It's really kind of you. But you must understand, I don't like Christmas." "You're welcome. But why dislikes Christmas? It's the best day everyone could ever have." she said as she looked at me frowning.
"Come on. We'll talk here." I said as lead her
to an abandoned classroom. "I never notice there were a classroom here before."
she mumbled softly. "So, tell me everything why you hate Christmas." "Well,
mainly because I hate seeing peoples' faces smiling foolishly and hugging each
other when they met." I said. "Also, I hate seeing their faces when they opened
their Christmas presents. And those caroling really got my nerves." I went on.
"I don't understand why people said that Christmas have its own magic. I think
it's phooey." I finished off.
Hermione just smiled warmly and said, "You're wrong." she said. "Actually I
understand why you hate Christmas. But it doesn't matter now. Christmas is
almost over anyway." She said simply. It was silence for a while when she spoke,
"Um, so it's true that you like me." she said suddenly. I looked at her
surprised, "The truth is -" "What? That you're lying?" she cut me off and arched
her eyebrow. "No. Actually, I really am in love with you, Hermione Granger." I
said firmly.
"You're the only one who made me felt love and beloved. Consider yourself lucky." I joked. She snorted. And then she came towards me slowly, raised herself a bit and kissed me. Slowly and passionately. That was one magnificent kiss. "I love you too, Tom Riddle." she said slowly as she broke the kiss. My, did she just made me the happiest man alive. "Err, so will you, um be my girlfriend, Hermione?" I asked, uncertain whether it was supposed to be ask like that. She giggled softly and said, "You silly thing." she said. She's rejecting me. "I don't think.." Definitely rejecting me. "I'll refuse to let that offer down." she finished. I blink. "Y-you w-will?" I asked her again. "Hey, don't push your luck, mister." she said with a hand on her hip. "Good one." And with that we kissed again.
We talked about everything within an hour when she was suddenly quite. Her head was resting on my torso. I saw she was sleeping peacefully. I silently conjured a blanket and wrapped it on ourselves. We didn't do anything sexual, mind you. But I certainly do have a wonderful night. Finally, I went to sleep myself. This is the first and the best Christmas ever. And thank God tomorrow is Sunday. Which mean. we don't have to wake up early. Now I believe, Christmas do have their own way of magic.
