Let Go, Chapter 7 - Unexpected.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything except the plot. Thank you.
Summary: So, Tom already knows that Hermione's a muggle-born. In this chapter, we'll know how he really felt about it and something unexpected happen.

"Tom, when you said that those Muggle-borns really deserved it, it kinda make me upset because -" "I'm so sorry, love. I didn't meant to make you upset. Forgive me?" Tom cut her off. "No, Tom. I think I should begged you for forgiveness. Actually, I'm a Muggle-born. Or in your term, a filthy Mudblood. I understand if you don't wanna see me after this." Hermione looked up and saw that Tom somehow looked confused, angry, and upset. "I'm sorry, Tom." with that, she ran out of the empty classroom leaving Tom stared at the empty pathway.

*TOM POV*

She's a WHAT!!! It can't be. I stared at the empty pathway where she left me. It hit me like a ton of bricks. Just when I thought things were perfectly smooth. Honestly, right now I don't know what my feelings are. But one thing for sure, it's not a happy feeling. See what a woman can do to you. A voice rang in my head.

I walked down the now empty corridor. I didn't go to any class. The Professors won't mind either. That's the advantage of being so clever. I grin to myself. Instead, I went to the Chamber. As usual, I went to the girl's bathroom where the entrance to the Chamber is. I expect no one will use the bathroom at the beginning of any classes. I stood in front of the entrance* and command it to open. As the passage to the Chamber open, my pet Basilisk came to me when one of the lavatory door open and came a girl with pigtails* and a huge ugly glasses shouted "Use your own bathroom -". But it was too late. My Basilisk had killed her with it's murderous stare.

God! Can this day be any worse? I swore to myself. I decided to leave the girl's body lying there as I went into the Chamber. When I reached the Chamber, I cannot think of anything except Hermione and the girl I accidentally kill. For the rest of the hour, I just sat at the nearest pillar and stared at the empty Chamber. I sighed heavily.

But then again, why should I, Lord Voldemort be worried of those little things. C'mon. What happen to you common sense. That girl who just died probably another Mudblood just like Hermione. Hermione. She's a damn filthy Mudblood. She deserves it. She deserves to die just like Mudblood should. I grin despite myself. I looked down my watch, it's lunch time.

When I went out from the Chamber, I just marched straight to the Great Hall. As I sat myself at the Slytherin table, the first thing I saw is her. Hermione Granger. I kept staring at her. It made me think, what do I found in her? she's just another Mudblood. Yeah, and the fact that her inner beauty make me gawk every time I saw her. I shook my head. Stop thinking about her, God damn it! I swore to myself. I tried hard to focused on lunch. It didn't help. Every time I looked up, I saw two beautiful hazel eyes staring at mine.

Until the moment I looked up and saw that a tall guy with messy brown hair came and sat next to her. They were talking about something that made Hermione shook her head and made the guy shrugged and left. Something tells me that it wasn't a good thing. I glared at the tall guy with despised.

*HERMIONE POV*

Tom and his giant size ego. God, if he has at least less of his ego, he can be almost human! I rolled my eyes and continue eating my spaghetti. "Hey, Hermione." Fendi said cheerfully. "Hi, Fendi" I said casually. "Um, so.. how are things going on with you and Tom?" he asked me. "Not much. We just broke up, I think. Big fight." I sighed heavily. "Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. But, you know I'm always there to help you.." he looked down and went pink "..and who knows, we can start a relationship." he suggest. I choked a little. He want a relationship.. with ME? Now that's something to laugh at. Not that he isn't cute or what. It's just that he's the class clown and so on. "Thank you Fendi. I appreciate the fact that you wants to help me. But right now, I'm beyond repair. Sorry." I said and he just shrugged and walked away.

When I returned to my spaghetti, I took a quick glance at Tom. Uh.Oh. I feel something bad will happen. Something REALLY bad. I saw that Tom death-glared at Fendi. I shivered a little bit. I drank my pumpkin juice and left the table. Right now, I feel the world is spinning before me. Stupid headache. I slowly walked to the empty corridor that leads to Ravenclaw tower when Tom called after me.

"Hermione" he called out. I stopped on my track. "Yes, Tom?" I don't know why, since I told him that I was a muggle-born, I'm really nervous every time I'm near him. "Hermione, I saw you have a little friendly chat with that tall guy." he said. "What's wrong with that? He's just my friend after all." I said. "You know that I don't like seeing you with other guys." he said looking at me straight in the eye. Now I'm really nervous. "My, my. Do I sense jealousy, here? I thought we broke up already." I bravely said.

"No we didn't broke up. Although right now I know that you're one of those Mudblo- Muggle-borns, that didn't change the way I felt for you." he protested. "Really? You're not mad at me?" I asked, sounding confused. "Well, a little mad but yes, I still love you." he said and he kissed me.

**********

As I said before, no body mess with Lord Voldemort. Mess with the best, die like the rest*. Someday, that guy will pay. Mark my words. And with that I left the table and seek for Hermione.
