Chapter 2 one after another other
It was sort of odd to see someone who you had only seen in your dreams. It seemed so surreal but then again I was in another time. It was a bit strange though to dream of someone then you meet them the next day.
"hello" he said his voice was rich and thick with what seemed like almost a purr. His accent was not all British but perhaps an underlying of Irish it might have even been French. I couldn't really tell, but it was an attractive baritone.
"I thought I would come introduce myself. I am a school prefect after all. Plus I figured if you are kin to professor Dumbledore you have to be brilliant, he is after all a very intelligent man." he said smiling an attractive smile. His hair flowed casually into his handsome face and he pushed it away absently. I smiled in a flirtatious way. Its not everyday you go into the past and get complemented by handsome young men.
"you are to kind in your compliments. I was indeed top in every single one of my classes I was even more advanced then the seventh years. That was at my old school which was reasonably smaller then Hogwarts. Sorry I'm talking to much. What was your name?" I said. he just sort of stared at me. I felt a light blush paint my cheeks. He smirked. How very Slytherin.
" my name is Tom Riddle" he smiled. I felt my face go pale and I almost blanched but do to recent Occlumency lessons I quickly blocked my face. I put on a smile and said
" it's a pleasure to meet you Tom"
" the pleasures all mine" he responded.
" well I should be going now but I will see you in classes maybe?" I said putting one foot on the bottom most stair.
" of course" he said " until next time" he then grabbed my hand and brushed a kiss across the surface.
He was already walking away when I registered what he did. He kissed my hand I thought feverishly looking at the place his warm lips had bushed. I walked up the staircase in a sort of daze. My feet took me to Gryffindor tower automatically and I went into the girls dormitory. I had totally forgot that Voldemort a.k.a Tom Riddle resided in this time. I drew open the curtains around my bed and sat down. When I laid back my head hit something hard I sat up and looked. It was my school bag from my time. I looked through its contents a few books some money which I transferred to my new school bag and my new camera. I had gotten it for my birthday from mom and dad. I felt tears well in my eyes I had even charmed it into a magical camera so the pictures came out moving. I wanted to take pictures of my friends when ever we found ourselves happy. You never did know this could have been the last year we spent together. I felt tears well up in my eyes I missed my friends and my parents so much.
I heard voices coming up the stairs I quickly through my bag into my new trunk and wiped at my tears. The door burst open and in came three girls. One had blonde hair one red and the third had black hair. " hi " said the girl with black hair. She sort of had a bossy tone and then I glanced a head girl badge pinned to her robe. " my name is Charlotte McGonagall I'm head girl this year" she said offering her hand. I took it. McGonagall huh? Perhaps she was related to my transfiguration teacher. "I'm Selest Anon" said the blonde offering her hand. "and I am Celia Whip" said the red head. " hi, as you know I'm
Hermione. Its nice to meet you guys." I said. Then we sort of stood awkwardly. "well I'm going to get ready for bed plus I have homework, I'll meet you guys for breakfast in the morning" Charlotte said taking her leave.
" So Hermione why don't you come down to the common room with us and we'll play spin the bottle with the guys" Selest said grinning wickedly. I just stared at her in disbelief I didn't even know this girl and she wants me to go down stairs and start snogging random guys.
"no thank you I'm sort of tired now, rough day. Maybe another time" I said trying to sound exhausted which wasn't to hard seeing as I was.
"no problem Hermione but if you change your mind we'll be in the boys 6th year dorms. See you later" said Celia dragging a giggling Selest out of the room. I changed into my nightgown and took out my potions book and began to read. After maybe about two hours I finished the book. I knew everything in these books we had learned it last year. Shame I guess they upped standards a bit in 50 years. I would just study my text books from the future so I wouldn't be behind when I returned. I reached into my bag and removed one of my leisure books from my bag. It was called Dark Arts: Practical Advancement. I know bad right, I couldn't stop my self that day in Flourish and Blotts. I redid the secretive charm I had placed on the book which gave it the title Charms and Transfiguration in one. I began to read. The Dark Arts were actually fascinating. They were a bit harsh but they were alluring, and anyway its better to know what your enemy knows. After a few more hours I began to fall asleep the girls weren't back yet so I marked my page laid the book on my bedside and went to sleep.
The next morning I was last to wake up I got ready quickly then went down to breakfast. Selest, Celia and Charlotte joined me a few minutes later.
" so Hermione did you sleep well?" asked Charlotte
" Yes I slept well enough." I answered back glancing at my watch. "Do either of you have potions first thing?" Selest and Celia snorted
"Of course not" said Selest. "the teacher is such a slave driver we dropped it at the end of last year. You have to have top marks to be in her class any way" said Celia shrugging.
"oh well I'm going to head to her class now in case I get lost I'll have time to find my way. I'll see you guys later" I said quickly walking away before they could say anything else. Its not like I didn't like them its I just don't really know how to act around female friends. Lavender and Parvati had always been giggling and whispering to each other which I found quite annoying. Plus my two best friend are guys. Its sort of hard to switch from one of the guys to one of the girls. I walked down to the dungeons and sat outside my potions class. I pulled out my Dark Arts book and began to read again. I was nearly finished with the book. Soon more 6th years were lining up outside the classroom so I put my book away and stood a little bit away from them. Its not as if I didn't like people I just was trying not to get attached. Finally the bell went and the classroom door was flung open. We all rushed inside and found seats.
" don't get comfortable" a sharp voice snapped "you'll be moving in a second" the Professor opened up a scroll of parchment. Then she walked around to each table and named a couple of names and proceeded as kids scrambled to their seats. Finally their was only one table at the very front.
"Miss Dumbledore you'll be here with Mr. Riddle" she said then she went and stood in front of her desk. Tom appeared suddenly from the shadows of the room and sat beside me.
"now at the end of last term I notified you all that if you were to proceed into my newt class you would have to read Advanced Potions and Poisons did you all read it?' she asked in a voice that clearly dared them to say no. Everyone nodded and their were a few yeses.
The professor sighed impatiently " can someone at least tell me the first potion listed in the book?" Tom raised his hand " the first poison listed is called the Oceanic Poison " he said.
"good 5 points to Slytherin. Can any one, now that we know what the poison is, tell me why its called Oceanic?" she asked looking around the class. No one raised their hand. So I slowly put my hand up.
"go ahead Miss Dumbledore" she said looking mildly impressed.
" well its called Oceanic Poison because when ingested it tastes like salt water from the ocean." I said
"excellent 5 points to Gryffindor, and for another five Miss Dumbledore if you can tell us what the effects of this poison are?"
" well once you ingest it, it takes immediate effect. It starts with your lungs it burns holes in them until you cant breathe then it goes to your heart. The average person lasts about 3 minutes and the only known antidote has to be administered within the first minute of the poisoning or it will be to late. Even like that there are lasting effects most survivors would have been better off dead" I finished. It seemed like everyone was frozen no one made a sound. Then the Professor grinned broadly and began to clap
" excellent Miss Dumbledore excellent 20 points to Gryffindor! Now today we will brew the poison. So get your ingredients and wait for me to give further instruction." she said grabbing a book on her desk and opening it. We all rushed to the cupboards to retrieve the ingredients. When I returned to my seat Tom had his potions book open and was skimming the page. I sat quietly waiting for the professors instructions.
"how did you know so much about the poison it doesn't have a description like you described in the book" Tom said suddenly. I turned to him a little surprised.
" No I read a book about poisons over the summer that's how I knew" I said
"okay class I'm going to go around and put a charm on all of you so you don't accidentally ingest the poison." she then walked around the classroom and charmed everyone. It was a pleasant feeling sort of warm and tickly.
" alright instructions on the board get to work!" she said rapping the board hard with her wand. I started on the poison carefully measuring everything out and doing exactly what the instructions said. After about 30 minutes of extreme concentration there was a 5 minute interval to prepare for the next phase. I quickly put all the needed ingredients in a neat little row then I sat back and wiped my hand across my forehead. that's when I noticed for the first time someone was staring at me. The hair on the back of my neck rose and I turned to look at Tom. He was staring at me apparently deep in thought. It was slightly unnerving so I cleared my throat loudly. This had a wanted effect because he shook his head and took in his surroundings. Pretty scary if you ask me getting lost in your own mind and staring down a person or maybe the fact that he was the future dark lord had something to do with it.
"do you want to finish up the potion Tom there is only one crucial step left then its down hill from there" I said keeping my voice steady.
" yeah okay I'll do it" he said he still seemed kind of out of it but I ignored it I'll just watch him carefully I thought. Tom started working the potion and I studied his profile. He was indeed handsome probably the most handsome boy I'd ever come in contact with. I watched his hands as he added the needed ingredients. I glanced at which ingredient he was measuring out. Hellebore only needed two teaspoons why was he adding tablespoons.
"Tom wait that's to much!" I said he looked at me he must have seen the panic in my eyes because he put the hellebore back in its bottle.
" what do you mean its to much the board says 2 tablespoons of Hellebore" he said with a sneer.
" no it doesn't it says 2 teaspoons. If you add that much Hellebore the poison turns to acid and explodes!" I said. The attention of the class had averted from the poison and onto us. Tom looked at the board
"it says tablespoon" he argued. The Professor approached the table
"it says teaspoon Mr. Riddle, that was an excellent catch Miss Dumbledore if you hadn't have noticed we'd all be on the floor withering in pain our skin burning off, because it indeed turns into acid when to much Hellebore is added. Well continue on all of you and pay close attention." she continued to prowl around the students.
"you finish the potion then!" Tom snapped a scowl on his face. I just stared. Was he seriously upset because I stopped him from making a fatal error.
"What is the matter with you I just saved your life and the rest of the class and you think you have the right to be angry with me. Am I missing the big picture or something"
"you shouldn't have made me out to be some stupid fool Hermione. I don't want you to ever do it again" he said I was speechless. What did he think I was a lap dog or something.
" you have got to be kidding me do I look like a slave who has to obey you. Do I look like the type of person who has ever listened to what ignorant people say. If you do you are in for a huge reality check. I will never obey you Tom Riddle!" I stood my chest heaving and walked quickly to the teacher.
"professor would it be okay if I left a little early I don't feel to well." I said desperation in my voice.
"yes Go ahead Miss Dumbledore I'm sure Tom can finish the poison" she said and I quickly left the room. I practically ran from the castle I finally collapsed beneath a tree by the lake and began to cry. I wanted to go home.
/I hope you guys like my story. I know 2 chapters in one day well they wouldn't let me load anything for a few days so I typed up 2chaps cool huh?
