Going to the past

A Renewed Trust



A week later I awoke. I looked around finding Dumbledore looking at me curiously. "Dumbledore?" I asked a bit confused.

"Yes it is I," Dumbledore said.

"What happened," I asked.

"Well a student attacked you, and Mr. Riddle came to my office with you bleeding everywhere," He said.

"Why didn't he take me to the infirmary?" I asked.

"My office was closest," He said. I nodded then gasped.

"Tom Riddle saved my life," I asked.

"Yes he did," Dumbledore said. I looked down then looked back at Dumbledore.

"Who was the girl who did this to me," I asked.

" A Miss Crystal Zikes I believe her name is," Dumbledore said. I gasped. "But she's dead now," Dumbledore said. I looked shocked.

"Who killed her," I asked.

"I believe it was the creature that was from the chamber of secrets," Dumbledore said.

"Can I leave here now," I asked. Dumbledore nodded.

"Have a nice day," Dumbledore said. I nodded. Dumbledore left. I sighed. I heard the door open. I watched as Alex came in.

"Hermione your alive," Alex said. Alex sighed. "I am so glad your alive," Alex said. I nodded.

"I told Tom the truth," I said. Alex looked up.

"Well he must haven't of been that mad, or he wouldn't have saved you," Alex said. I sigh.

"Maybe, He was mad when I told him," I said. Then there was a knock on the door. Alex and me looked up as Tom came in. He smiled.

"Well I better leave. See you at lunch time," Alex said. Alex then left leaving Tom and me alone.

" How are you doing," He asked.

"Fine," I said.

"I am sorry about what happened in the chamber," He whispered. I nodded.

"Will you forgive me for lying to you Tom," I asked.

"Yes," He said. " I saw Crystal trying to kill you so I...," his voice trailed off.

"You killed her," I said. He nodded.

"I was trying to save you," He said honestly.

"I know now," I said. "Dumbledore had told me about what you did," I said.

"Figures," He said.

"Dumbledore isn't that bad Tom," I said.

"I guess I am taking everything out on the whole world for what my muggle father did to me," Tom said.

"Is he still living?" I asked. He nodded.

"With other muggles. When he found out that me mom was a witch he left her and me. She was 7 month pregnant with me. She had me a month later. He knew I would turn out to be a wizard just like my mother. I hate him," Tom said with anger in his eyes. I touch his shoulder.

"I am so sorry," I said.

"Yeah well I'll have my revenge," He said.

"You mean as Lord Vold," He stopped me before I could say the name.

"Yes," was all he said.

"Tom please don't turn evil," I said.

"And that's another thing. I hate my name because it was my muggle fathers name," Tom said. I knew this conversation was fueling his anger, but I had to stop him for becoming evil.

"You can't kill innocent people because of what your father did to you," I said.

"Killing will get rid of the pain Hermione, I just know it will," Tom said.

"It will just make you want more blood. How many lives will be killed before you will be satisfied," I asked.

"I don't know Hermione," He said looking out the window. "I just don't know," He said. I gulped. Would Tom still become evil or will he forget about becoming evil and love me. I wondered about witch way he would go at this point it seemed he was still going to the evil side. I have to get him to love me or all my friends will die.
