(A/N: Here it is chapter two of 'The Hogwarts Champion' REVIEW please!)
*Chapter 2-Tom Riddle and Angelique Delanuit*
Hermione walked next to the young Minerva McGonaggall and Lily as they followed Dumbledore and a few of the other teachers into an empty classroom. Everyone clamored into a seat and Hermione glanced at Tom Riddle and Angel Delanuit. Were the two attached at the hip? They were always close to each other, they moved in unison with each other as if one of them could read the others thoughts, Tom had one armed wrapped around her waist protectively and Angel returned the embrace, it made them look slightly like a couple. But it was steadily apparent that they weren't because Angel was chatting lazily with Draco who was actually smiling back and talking with her as if she were human. Tom watched with amusement even joining in on the conversation. Hermione had the odd feeling that if Angelique Delanuit were indeed his girl friend, the young Lord Voldemort would be cursing Draco Malfoy into oblivion. Tom sat next too Angel his arm still wrapped around her waist, Angel who was obviously used to being held by Tom leaned against him and continued talking to Draco who sat down casually next to Angel still staring at her as if mesmerized. Hermione turned her attention back to the Headmaster.
"Congratulations to you all for being chosen to take place in this event." Dumbledore said a smile on his face, "You will all be attending classes with your house, I would not want you to lose out on your education. Yes, Ms Delanuit." Dumbledore said nodding when Angel raised her hand.
"Sir are the classes at the same level as they were in our time?" Angel asked gesturing to herself and Tom.
"Yes they are and you may find they are somewhat advanced." Angel nodded her head in ascent muttering something to Tom who nodded in return. "Now are there anymore questions?" When nobody raised their hand Dumbledore continued, "Now the rules are as follows: You will follow all school rules as usual, also you are competing in this as an individual so I suggest any help you give you give it wisely." Dumbledore looked at Angel and Tom who smirked at each other knowingly. Hermione had the feeling that the pair would work as a team no matter what. "And if for any reason I get the impression that you are not following the rules and may cause damage to this time I will disqualify you and you will be sent back to your own time and you will be expelled." There was a murmur of ascent, "you are dismissed I trust you will all remember where your house common-room is." Everybody got up with a clamor and walked out the door. Hermione walked up to Lily and Sirius who were talking and glancing around.
"Hello I'm Hermione Granger, current head girl." Hermione said smiling, Lily smiled back and shook her hand.
"Lily Evans, this is Sirius Black." Hermione shook Sirius' hand as well.
"Hey, was that hook-nosed overgrown bat in their Severus Snape?" Sirius asked gesturing to Snape who scowled at them as he walked past.
"Yes, he's potions master." Sirius let out a loud groan.
"Bloody brilliant I'm going to have to listen to Snivellus." Sirius said and they laughed and headed towards the Gryffindor common room. Hermione shot a glance at Tom Riddle and Angelique Delanuit they were whispering to each other and Riddle had a small smirk on his face and Angel a small grin. Tom Riddle caught her eye yet again and gave her a small smile before returning his attention to Angel who glanced at her as well a friendly smile in her eyes.
"I would swear to the Ministry if I did not know better that girl was just about the nicest person alive." Hermione mumbled to herself, indeed Angelique Delanuit seemed like she was a bright girl full of life and happiness. While Riddle. . .Riddle seemed semi-shy and reserved, but the arrogance shown through as bright as day as did the power.
"Sorry what did you say?" Lily asked her
"I was just saying it must have been awful going to school with Snape he's still an over grown bat." Hermione said quickly. Sirius nodded and began recounting all the times he had cursed Snape while Lily rolled her eyes and scowled in disapproval. She said goodbye to them and walked over to Harry and Ron who began blasting her with questions. She answered all of them calmly.
"What about Riddle? Did he do anything suspicious?" Harry asked earnestly after Hermione had answered the questions he had asked about Lily and Sirius.
"Nothing at all really. He and Angelique Delanuit are attached at the hip basically, she seems nice enough." Hermione added as an after-thought.
"She probably is just like Riddle, evil." Harry said shortly.
"Riddle didn't do anything at all in fact he seemed. . .for lack of a better word rather shy." Hermione said
"How do you think he got away with the Chamber attacks Hermione? He seems innocent but I bet you he and his little Death Eater are probably down in the Slytherin common room planning an attack of some kind." Harry said

Tom looked at the only friend he had every had. Angel was sitting next to him on the couch by the fire in the Slytherin common room. Her head on his shoulder and she yawned before looking up at him.
"This will be rather interesting don't you think Tom?" Angel said casually staring into the fire. Tom smiled inwardly, Angel was the only one he had ever been able to tolerate addressing him as 'Tom' when she knew his true name.
"Yes it will. . .your little friend Draco, what year did he say it was?" Tom asked Angel rolled her eyes.
"Jealous that I may start spending time with other people? Don't worry Tom you're my best friend, any way he said that it was 1997, over fifty years Tom. . ." Angel said in wonderment.
"The questions is have I succeeded?" Tom asked, "I can't have completely if Dumbledore is still around."
"I'm sure you're around Tom," Just then a head popped into the fire. It was a man with pale blonde hair that went past his shoulders and hard gray eyes. (A/N: Who ever could this be?) Angel looked at the man calmly, "May I help you?" She asked
"I need to speak with my son Draco, it concerns his initiation into the Death Eaters." Angel looked at Tom a smirk on her face. After all Tom had named her and a small group of others back in their own time 'Death Eaters'
"See my good friend, you have done well," Angel said kissing Tom on the cheek a large grin on her face as she responded to the man in the fire, "Draco is currently playing poker with a few other Slytherins. (LOL sorry but I could always just picture a group of Slytherins gambling away their money plus it may take form in another chapter...continuing.), I'll go get him." Angel said hopping gracefully off the couch. Tom had a very satisfied smirk on his face. After Draco had talked to his father Tom held the man back for a moment.
"Tell Lord Voldemort that Tom Riddle and Angelique Delanuit are here. He'll understand." Tom said the satisfied smirk still plastered on his handsome face. Angel grinned at her friend, her violet eyes glittered with excitement. She leaned over closer to Tom.
"Tom my friend it appears that this is going to be much more enjoyable than we previously thought." She whispered before pulling back and laughing. Tom smiled and with one armed wrapped around Angel's waist once more and whispered into her ear.
"Yes it is my dear Angel, you and I are going to have very much fun here." Tom whispered and the pair grinned at each other.
(A/N: TA DA! Brilliant isn't it? Angel is necessary character and you'll see why later. O yeah and no matter how much it appears this is not an TR/ New character romance it is strictly HG/TR but Angel and Tom are really close, I'll explain their relationship slowly in later chapters. Hermione is already beginning to feel a sort of 'attraction' to Tom and soon enough you will see what else happens. He'll start feeling something for her probably around next chapter. REVIEW)
