QAN: Hola!!! I'm back!!! Sorry it took over...*looks at watch* a month for
me to update, but school's been draggin' me down and etc. I'm gonna try and
update as often as possible. I think I'll post another chapter tomorrow.
Ch. 4: Green Isn't Just a Slytherin Color...
Hermione smiled as she stood in front of him, "Hi, I'm Hermione Granger. Do you have a partner yet?"
Tom closed his jaw and quickly shook his head no.
Hermione blushed and looked at her feet, "So, can I be your partner?"
'Why am I acting like this? I'm Lord Voldemort, people will fear to say or to even think my name. I will be the world's greatest wizard...' Tom thought to himself. He shook his head, as if to shake off the warm feeling that was seeping through him. That warm unrecognizable feeling that has not been felt for so long.
Hermione's smile faded as she saw him shake his head, "Oh, Okay." She walked away dejectedly.
Tom's thoughts stopped as he saw her retreating figure. "No wait!"
But he was too late.
Ryan was right...he was going to end up alone. Tom angrily opened his books again and began his studying. He looked up a couple of minutes later and examined the Great Hall. His eyes narrowed as he saw Ryan's partner...
~*~
"Hello, I'm Ryan Sarpe," the blonde haired boy smiled, as he kissed the back of her hand.
Hermione blushed, "I'm Hermione Granger."
"Would you care to be my partner, Hermione?" Ryan asked, holding out his arm for her to take.
Hermione laughed, "Why, yes kind sir." She took his arm as he led her over to the Slytherin table. As she sat down next to him, she looked around the Great Hall, looking for Harry and Ron. She laughed as she saw Ron's face match his hair as he sat down next to a Hufflepuff. Harry waved at her from the Ravenclaw table and she waved back.
Ryan tried to see who she was waving at, "Is he your boyfriend?"
Hermione giggled, "No, Harry's just my friend."
"Good, because I'm one hell of a competitor," Ryan winked at Hermione.
Hermione smiled at him, before looking in the direction towards a certain dark haired man.
Ryan saw who she was looking at. "That's Tom Riddle. He's one of my roomies, though he likes to be alone with his books."
Ryan waved as Tom looked up. Hermione gulped nervously as his penetrating eyes fell on her.
'His eyes...'
~*~
Tom growled as he saw who was approaching him.
Professor Dumbledore looked at him thoughtfully, "Where's your partner, Tom?"
"I don't have one, Professor," Tom mumbled.
"Ah yes.there is an odd number of students. Professor Dippet suggested that you team up with another group."
Tom's patience was growing thin, "I'm sorry, Professor, but I would rather not participate in this assignment and instead use my time studying."
Dumbledore's smile disappeared, "If your are sure, then you may go ahead and do that."
Tom forced a smile, "Thank you, Professor."
Dumbledore nodded before walking back to the staff table.
Tom went back to reading, but found his eyes lifting off the page and up towards the other side of the Slytherin table.
He didn't know why, but his hands started clenching and his eyes narrowed at the sight of Hermione and Ryan laughing.
~*~
Ryan plopped into bed with a bright smile.
Tom raised an eyebrow, "Why are you so happy?"
"I met the most beautiful, smart, caring, and beautiful-"
"You said that."
"-Girl ever. I think I might actually be in love." Ryan sighed.
Tom felt the familiar feeling of his hands clenching as angered boiled within him, "Who?"
"Hermione..."
"Well...it's not gonna work out." Tom stated.
Ryan frowned at him, "Why not?"
"Well first off, She's from 50 years in the future. Secondly, She's a Gryffindor...You're a Slytherin. And..." Tom trailed off. 'That's right, Tom...There's no chance for you, even if she was remotely interested in you,' His inner voice reminded him.
"And..?" Ryan asked.
Tom shook his head, "Nothing, just go to sleep."
Tbc.....?
QAN2: If anyone is wondering, what their going to do for their project is just spend time with their partners, exchanging information (But not too much). I know, corny...but my creative side is asleep.
