Tom….

He heard commotion in the hallway as he sighed and made his way through the bustling crowd and wondered what sort of thing happened to draw this much attention. Maybe if he was lucky someone accidentally tripped and fell on Parkinson and killed her under their weight, but sadly that was not the case. Instead of Patty on the floor it was someone much smaller and frail. But he saw she wasn't wearing a Hogwarts robe at least the house patch was missing.

Lying in a heap on the floor everyone was staring a mess of curls on the ground by him he walked through the crowd, people moving at the sight of him waltzing past. "Hey you" he said to the girl that had apparently collapsed during classes. He nudged her shoulder with his foot, and he heard a slight groan and the young girl rolled onto the back. Sitting up she clutched her head with one hand and supported her body with the other. Squinting up at him, her eyes became wide

"Who…who are you?" she asked nervously looking around she jumped up onto her feet wobbling slightly and she grabbed his arm for support. "OK shows over folks" he said loudly as the crowd scattered not wanting to face Tom. "I uh…. I'm Hermione" she smiled weakly. "and you are?" she looked at him as if she already knew him. "I-I'm Tom, Tom Riddle" he flashed her a famous Tom smile.

Her mouth fell open in shock and she fainted. He stood there flabbergasted "Wow you actually made a girl faint for the mere sound of your name" he congratulated himself. Smirking her picked up the girl… Hermione she said her name was and he carried her down the hall….

Half an hour later, down in the slytherin common rooms……

Hermione woke up feeling dizzy and had a big headache and she sighed she'd had a dream that she'd been in the same room talking with Tom Riddl- "hello, I knew you'd wake up soon" she heard a voice sneer and she gulped that had not been a dream….

Tom

"'bout time" he complained leaning back in a dark green sofa chair. His eyebrows raised and he watched her lay awkwardly on the couch to finally sit up straight and he watched her lazily and said "So? What happened back there?" he asked curiously and she looked stunned and after a minute or two of silence she whispered "I don't know…" hardly audible and she looked at him with fearful eyes.

"What?" he demanded "your looking at me like I murdered someone" But that comment only seemed to frighten her more and Tom became frustrated. "So what house are you from?" he spat "Because you sure are acting like a Hufflepuff right now" Suddenly she spoke "Gryffindor" she spoke boldly and proud like. "Oh I should've known…" he scowled again and said "Lets get you out of here before the others murder you" he felt a pang of something when her lip quivered. But what it was he didn't know…..

Finally, outside of the Slytherin common room she felt safer then when she realized she was with the future Voldemort the fear returned. "Um….what…what year is it?" she asked hesitantly. He looked at her like she'd grown a second head but replied "1953" he grunted and she looked ready to cry again and that pang returned "What? It's the same its been all year" but she begged to differ.

It was much different, "Wait!" she had a sudden surge of hope "Dumbledore!" she cried happily and started running up the stairs "Hey! Where are you going?" he yelled after her sighing he chased her as she raced around the castle stopping dead in her tracks in front of the headmaster's entrance to his office.

"Hey! Dumbledore its me Hermione" she cried happily pounding her hand on the wall by it. "Hello!" she yelled as he caught up panting he leaned against the wall. "Why would you want Dumbledore?" he panted wondering why she'd come here for Dumbledore. Then the door opened but it was not Dumbledore but headmaster Dippiet.

"Wheres Dumbledore?" she asked worridly then realization hit her she backed up her back touching the wall as she slid to the floor holding onto her knees with her arms wrapped around them tightly. She felt a single hot tear streak down her face as her shoulders shook violently. She didn't know where she was she was in the past there were people all around her but she was still alone….
