CH 10 its not what it looks like
Hermione stared in horror at her Professors. Especially Dumbledore how could she betray his trust.
"Hermione! I have just been telling the Professors you and Tom were doing a project and could not be interrupted" Sterling said looking at me pointedly. She was trying to help me. She also looked pointedly at my hair. I smoothed it behind my ears and glanced at the Professors.
" Yes thank you Sterling. You see Professors, me and Tom were working on our potions project and we asked Sterling if she could keep watch because any distraction at a crucial stage could spoil the whole thing. So it was important that no one entered. Sorry" I said praying they would believe the story.
"So what was the scream we heard?" Professor Talen asked. She had me there.
"it was… me I screamed…because…because I was frustrated that the potion failed" I said
"Indeed. If that is the case you should be testing experimental potions in the dungeons under supervision" Dumbledore said looking me directly in the eye. I looked down.
" I am sorry professor it will not happen again." I said.
" very well we will not keep you from any other arrangements you may have had." Professor Talen said. I sighed gratefully and left the hall quickly with Sterling. Before I left I glanced back at Tom who was walking in the other direction the Professors walking slowly behind him before turning down another corridor.
"ThanK You Sterling for helping us out back there I would have been in great trouble. They probably know we weren't experimenting but at least it wasn't admitted. How did you know we were in there" I asked looking at Sterling
"Well I heard someone scream out Tom me thinking I would bust the bastard and one of his ho's with a weeks detention walked in. well it was Tom only he was with you. So I waked out and that's when I seen the Professors coming down the hall so I stood praying you wouldn't scream out again. I was pretending to look for something in my bag, then they walked up and asked if I needed any help then you screamed and they almost burst right through me but I stopped them with great difficulty." She said I smiled
" Thanks again I owe you" I said
" You sure do. I like Honey dukes Chocolaty Chaco levitation balls." she said and we laughed and continued to the common room.
" So Hermione I see you got hold of one of your elements. Fire?" She said I only stared at her.
" How did you…?"
" I told you I went into the room I seen the two of you engulfed in flames. So how was it" she asked slyly a smirk on her face.
"Oh god Sterling it was too good for words. I think I have found my match. I think I will die a loveless life if I could never be with him again." I said pushing my hair behind my ears again.
"So he was rough wasn't he?" she asked
"have you been with him?" I asked starting to feel pangs of jealousy and hate to my friend
"No of course not but it shows." she said then she lifted my sleeve to show me the purple green bruises starting to form on my pale wrist.
"Oh" was all I said.
" So Hermione the match is coming in a week and some days do you feel ready to play or are you nervous" she said and I felt a fluttering inside my stomach.
" Well I was okay until you reminded me" I said. She laughed
" Well we have practice this whole week so do your homework early. Oh and Hogsmeade trip this weekend are you going to come with me or do you have plans?" she said her voice full of knowing.
"No I don't have plans other then going with you and trying to find my uncle an extraordinary gift. Especially after today." I said.
" But of course." she said sarcastically. "Well I will catch you later Hermione I have a hot date with my muggle studies essay. See you tomorrow 6 sharp, be prepared for a long agonizing practice." I smiled
" Well have fun with your date don't get too wild" I said and went upstairs to my room. I got started on my runes homework then progressed to a charms essay.
The next day I woke to the sun blaring in my face. It took me a few seconds to realize I was going to be late for Transfiguration. I entered the class and was immediately given detention by Dumbledore. Which must have surprised the class seeing as I was his 'niece.' I stayed after to see when I would be serving it.
"Today after your last class you will be serving detention with me" he said the look on his face leaving no room for argument. I nodded and left the room. At lunch I went I search of Tom to tell him we couldn't research today but perhaps tomorrow. I didn't find him in the great hall so I went in search of him on the grounds. I found him sitting by the lake talking with someone who had there back to me but I could tell it was a girl because of her long dark hair. As I approached I saw her lean over and kiss Tom. I was surprised at first but it was overcome quickly by jealous rage. I got close enough to them and I cleared my throat loudly. The girl pulled away and glared at me.
" Can we help you we're kind of busy" she said rudely.
"yes you can help me. Why are you kissing my boyfriend?" I said just as rude.
She glanced at Tom and I looked at him too. He was glancing at us with amusement.
" Your boyfriend? I wasn't aware Tom had a girlfriend. He of course didn't say anything to me and I know why, you aren't exactly flaunting material" she said viciously. My blood began to boil. She bent down and kissed Tom again and she stood to leave. I turned and grabbed her by the hair and pulled her back down to the ground. She shrieked and fell on her back cursing.
"Don't you ever insult me again and you stay away from Tom Riddle." I said looking down at her. She got up and looked me in the face.
"are you threatening me?" she asked pulling an ugly face.
"Yes I am" I said staring her down. Then she made a move that ended her life. She smacked me hard in the face. And just how I drained the life out of the boy in the dungeon I did the same to her. Tom all the while just watching not making a single move to stop me. Then he spoke a smirk on his handsome pale face.
" Well I would hate to piss you off" he said. I bent over him and looked him in the face.
" you did piss me off and if you ever do anything like that again you will get the same." He only through up his hands in a mock surrender the smile never leaving his face. I pushed the girl into the lake and did a quick sinking charm and she disappeared from the surface. I sat by Tom and he wrapped an arm around me. I knew in that instant that I would do whatever he wanted no matter what it was. I knew I would kill thousands of lives just to please him and I knew he would do anything to please me.
"Tom who was that girl?" I asked him.
"Just some Slytherin that has been offering me her body since third year. I'm glad to be rid of her she was starting to become a bit obsessed. It was annoying above anything. You will soon see a bunch of girls who act the same as her you can't go around killing them all though you will only draw attention to yourself. I destroyed the body of Garret, the boy you left down in the dungeon I will start a nice rumor about how him and Cindy, the girl you just dumped in the lake, ran away together. I will always cover for you Hermione." he said as his lips crashed onto mine. When we broke apart I breathed deeply.
"And I will always do anything for you, Tom" I said.
"Hermione When the time is right I want you to call me something else. A new name I have created for myself. Would you mind terribly?" he said.
"No of course not." I said. The bell rang in the distance and we got up reluctantly. Before we parted ways I said to him:
"Tom I can't meet you today I got detention" he only nodded before he disappeared done another corridor.
