A/N: I've decided to stop writing the story in Hermione's point of view. From now on if it's anyone thinking I'll just have 'example' for it. Please read and review!!!! And in the previous chapter the feast was sort of to welcome all the students back from winter break and the password was changed since Winter Break. Sorry if it was a little confusing. The story still continues in Tom's time with it being since they returned form Winter Break.

What Do I Do Now?

~back in the present~

"Where do you reckon Hermione is Ron? I still haven't seen her yet and everyone that left for Christmas Vacation has already come back." Harry said to Ron in the Gryffindor common room while the two of them were in another game of wizard's chess.

"Check Mate Harry, but I don't know where she could be either, but I'm sure she's fine though. I mean what could have possibly happened?"

Just as those words left Ron's mouth though a distressed looking Professor McGonnagol burst through the portrait.

"Harry, Ron, come with me. I think that the headmaster has something that he wants to talk to the two of you about."

Harry and Ron exchanged worried glances at each other.

"This doesn't have anything to do with Hermione does it Professor?" Harry slowly asked her dreading the answer.

"I'm afraid that it does.But hurry up now, the headmaster will tell you what this all about once you get there."

Professor McGonnagol led Harry and Ron out of the common room and they went to where the headmaster's room was.

"Acid Pop," McGonnagol said and instantly the door opened and they stepped inside.

Harry and Ron walked inside the office and saw Dumbledore sitting down in the chair with a very distressed look on his face.

"I'm sure that the two of you have been worrying about Hermione Granger, seeing as to how she still hasn't arrived here yet. I am sorry to inform to you that even I do not know exactly where Hermione is. This morning, before she was to get onto the Hogwart's Express she found out that her Father had been murdered by Voldermort. When her Mother and Uncle told her, she took it pretty hard I suppose. Seconds after, she blacked out and just sort of disappeared from her Mother's arms.It has sort of led me to believe that Hermione's desire for revenge for her Father has somehow transported her back in time so she could get that revenge. I myself am not that sure as to how that could happen. But as you all know Hermione is a very powerful witch.I'm guessing that she will only return back to our time when her task is complete."

Harry and Ron had no words at all to say to Dumbledore and the two of them just stared at him with surprise and confusion written all over their faces.

~Back to Where Hermione Is~

The next morning Hermione woke up and stared at the room around her. 'Where am I? I'm not in the Gryffindor dormitories.no.wait a second.' she thought as she remembered what had happened. She reluctantly got up out of bed and went into the restroom where she relaxed for a long time in a bubble bath. It was only Saturday morning so she didn't have to go to classes that morning.

Hermione sat in the tub for a really long time trying to piece together everything that had happened. 'Ok.so I'm back in time now just because I want revenge.my plan doesn't even make that much sense. Get Tom Riddle to fall in love with me and then pretend that I'm in love with him. Then one day when he least expects it.kill him? Ok.how the heck am I supposed to do that?'

Hermione was interrupted from all of her thoughts when Carla, another Slytherin seventh year begin to knock on the door.

"Hermione! Are you done yet?! There are other people that need to use the restroom to you know!"

Hermione rolled her eyes but hollered out, "I'll be done in just a minute!"

Reluctantly she got out of the tub changed, and used her wand to mutter a quick drying spell to dry her hair. She grabbed the bath robe and walked out of the bathroom with a quick apology to Carla.

"Finally you're done in there!"

Rolling her eyes to herself once again Hermione headed back to her dormitory where she threw on a pair of sweats and sweat shirt. Expecting to just spend the rest of the day in front of the common room in front of the fire with a nice book she was going to get at the library.

She got out of her room not watching where she was really going and not really noticing anything around her when again.she felt Tom's arm snake around her waist. Cursing him in her mind for ruining her whole day already she snuggled into Tom's arm while being mentally disgusted with herself. Not really knowing what to do next Hermione stood up on her tip toes and kissed Tom deeply. Soon enough Tom was kissing her back for all his worth. But just as things started to get nice, Hermione pulled out of the kiss and grinned at Tom.

"Seeya later then."

Hermione began to walk away satisfied with herself since she had left Tom with a baffled look on his face when all of a sudden she felt his arm around her again.

"Where do you think you're going?"

'Gosh when will this guy EVER leave me alone!!!' But on the outside she just smiled at him and replied back to him in a nice way.

"Nowhere really, going back into my room so I can change into something nicer and then grab a jacket. Just going to go outside and walk around Hogwarts. It certainly is beautiful here with all the snow lying around. It looks like a picture out of a fairytale. Care to join me?" Hermione lied even though her intentional plan was to go to the library.

"Sure, why not."

"Ok then, I'll be back in a couple minutes."

Hermione ran back into her room and tried to find something nicer to wear. If she was going to get Tom to fall in love with her she was going to have to look better. She quickly found a pair of low slung jeans, a nice sweater and then grabbed her pea coat. She muttered a quick spell to settle her hair down. Another couple seconds later and she had muttered another spell which instantly put makeup on her that matched with her outfit and hair. Grabbing a pair of high heeled boots Hermione went out of the room thinking about what she was going to do with him during their walk. 'I have to make myself seem like I believe in all of his ways. Make it seem that I think that everything he's either doing right now or going to do in the future I completely agree with him.'

Tom's POV

'It's fun messing with that mud bloods head. She thinks that I actually like her.yeah right.'

I heard Hermione open her door and I was stunned by the way she looked. Her brown hair wasn't bushy anymore but instead hung down past her shoulders in nice curly little waves. The hair looked so soft, her eyes were such a rich chocolate brown color. She was beautiful.

'No, can't fall for her.she's a mudblood.' But then again I knew that I was fighting a losing battle. I had already fallen in love with her. All previous thoughts of messing with her feelings vanished from my head. I felt a need to make this girl mine, and I would do anything in power to get her..

"Ok, so are we ready to go then?" Hermione's voice interrupted my thoughts and I turned to her and smiled.

"Of course my dear." Again I put my arm around her waist and this time I felt.this feeling that I couldn't describe.

Hermione's POV

'Judging by the look on his face when he first saw me, I'd say that my outfit worked right? Definitely captivated his attention.'

Normal POV

But it wasn't only Tom's attention that Hermione had captured. Practically every single person in the common room was looking at Hermione with new found interest. You couldn't exactly blame them though. Hermione was a very beautiful girl. Hermione seemed unaware of the fact though.

Tom began to glare at every single guy that was staring at Hermione and soon nobody was really staring at her anymore. Almost every Slytherin knew that Tom Riddle was Voldermort, (It was just one of those things people knew and wanted to tell somebody that would do something about it but were too afraid to. The teachers never knew though. A pity really, because then maybe he could have been stopped.) and nobody wanted to get on his bad side- - let alone look at the girl that Tom Riddle wanted with interest.
