Let Go, Chapter 5 - then it began...
Summary: Hermione went fifty years back to
reclaim something she'd never been through.
Disclaimer: NOTHING belongs to me! They belong to the ever wonderful J.K
Rowling.
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 men, we don't have to wake up early then. Now I believe, Christmas do have their own way of magic.

*Hermione's POV*
Okay, so now I am officially Tom's first girlfriend. How unlikely! I don't feel anything different. It's just like having a new boyfriend. No, Herm. You're engaged to his arch enemy. And he is future dark Lord. God!. We were talking about everything. He told me he had a plan arranged for the future when I suddenly blurted out "This has nothing to do with killing innocent's life. Isn't it?" He looked at me suspiciously and said, "And tell me what will be the reason I might kill people?". I can feel cold sweat stroking the back of my neck, "I don't know. Revenge maybe" Then, to change the subject, I slowly kiss him softly on the lip. It was a warm feeling mix with hatred in the same time. Without realizing, I slowly drifted into a peaceful sleep.
**********
The next day, I woke up and found out I was in
MY dormitory. Fully dressed. I got up and look at the time. 6:55. I can
see the sun had shone brightly through my dormitories. I yawn and looked around.
I snorted at the sight of my dorm mates sleeping in every funny angle they can
manage. I looked out the window. It was so peaceful. I'm enjoying every second
of it. I felt like I don't want to get out of bed forever! And everything
changed when I just remember that I was Tom Riddle a.k.a Voldemort's girlfriend.
Eugh! Well at least he wasn't that bad. I shrugged and went to shower.
After the relaxing shower, I got dress when a handsome tawny owl came swooping
at the window. He nip at me as if he was proud on accomplishing his mission and
handed out his leg that stood a letter. I carefully untie the letter and
shoved some of Cynthia's Owl Biscuit to the owl.
I opened the letter carefully, afraid of another bubotuber pus sent by someone.
To my relieve, it was a letter, from Tom. It was short and was written neatly in
green ink -typical! It wrote,
Dear Hermione,
Good morning and thank you for making me the happiest man alive.
Love,
Tom.
"That's all?" I asked myself. And to think that
I'd worried sick that I might get another of that stupid pus. Urgh! I took a
glace at the clock again. 7:30. I heard Cynthia snorted and grunted.
What the heck. I'm starving and I could eat a horse. I opened the large
dormitory door and went downstairs. There was only a few fire amber flicking
through the fireplace. As I opened the portrait, to my surprise, Tom was already
there waiting for me.
"Took me fifteen minutes for you to come out." he said and then he kissed my
cheek. "Good morning." he greeted me. "So, how's your sleep. I know you're
probably wondering how and when did you got into your dormitory. Well actually I
-"
"Morning Mr. Riddle, Miss Granger. I see you'd woke up early. I don't usually
see any students woke up this early on Saturday." Dumbledore greeted with his
twinkling eyes. "Morning, Professor Dumbledore" both of us greet him back.
"I recommend you two to have your breakfast now. I dare say that the breakfast are very delicious when it's still hot. Can't wait to dig some of those blueberry pancake Professor Dippet told me. Well, see you two in Great Hall" and with that he left.
"Look at the old fool. Honestly, sometimes he always got on my nerves. Being friendly to Mudbloods. What a disgrace. I should have told Professor Dippet to sack him earlier." Tom glared at the remaining sight of Professor Dumbledore. "Don't you think so, Herm?" he asked me.
I was too shocked at his comment, gaped at him, "Seriously Tom. I never saw him hurting you or saying bad things about you. So what do you got against him? If you're not happy with the way he do things, then go and confront him." I snapped. Tom looks taken aback. Surely he didn't expect me to back him up. "Sorry. I didn't mean to say that." he apologize and look down.
"No, that's okay. It's just that I'm new here and I don't like anything to be so.. out of control. If you know what I mean." I looked at him at kissed his cheek. He smiled, "C'mon, I'm starving! Race you to Great Hall" and we were practically running laughing and screaming the whole way to Great Hall.
When we reached the Hall, Dumbledore was right. Right now, I can see there are only Professor Claire, *Professor Binn, and Professor Dumbledore. As we were both running down the hallway, we were practically breathless. Professor Dumbledore looked up and smiled at us. I returned the smile while Tom just smirk. That looks like Malfoy's smirk. So, that's where they got it. Well, kind of. We sat on Ravenclaw table. "Never sat here before. It's kinda nice." Tom compliment. I rolled my eyes. "Duh. That is because you are one of those snooty Slytherins who always wear their oh-look-at-me-I'm-evil-and-gonna-take-over-the-world face and think the other houses are a bunch of dweeb." I smirk. "No, we don't. At least not me." he protested, still laughing.
Yeah, that's what HE think. God, he's a big liar, too. "Bet you 50 galleons you'll be evil after school." I suggested. Who knows, he might tell me some of his plans about his desire on being the darkest wizard. "Love, you know I wont be evil for your sake." he said casually. Like he ever seen the future. I rolled my eyes.
END OF HERMIONE'S POV.
**********
Months passed by. Hermione and Tom were still a couple. Then, one day Hogwarts School is shaken by the many students that had been petrified by something. A monster. So far *12 students or rather Mudbloods had been petrified.
"Tom, what is happening to the school?" Hermione asked. "I don't know, love. But all I know is that many filthy Mudbloods had been petrified." Tom replied casually at her. "Tom, it's Muggle-Born. Don't use Mudblood term, it's rude. And I heard that the Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Do you have any idea who might be behind it?" she asked him again. "No." Tom replied a little bit too quickly. Hermione cast him a sideway glance. "Tom, do you know anything about this? Tell me Tom. You looked like you know something." she stopped on her track and look at Tom intently. "There is nothing about it that concerns you, Hermione" he said firmly. Hermione looks taken aback. How dare he said that. Hermione thought silently. "Well, if you don't want to talk about it, DON'T talk to me. Ever." and with that she turned her heels and headed straight to Ravenclaw Tower.

to be continue.
*Do you think Professor Binn is still alive
back when Tom Riddle was still in school?
*I don't know if there are any students were petrified back then.
