For a moment Hermione had just stood there not sure whether to believe what had just happened. A part of her was glad that he had shown some interest in her, after all it took Ron years to even realise she was a girl. Or the fact that he hadn't just killed her the second they were married. But that part was tiny. Obsolete. Compared to the part of her that wanted to hex him, scream at him and most probably kill him. Hermione Riddle (neé Granger) was livid. He had tried to belittle her, become the dominant one, and there was no way on heaven, earth to the deeps of Tartarus where he belonged that she would ever let that happen. She was, unsurprisingly, not naive of his ways. She knew that he saw people as little more that chess pieces and she refused to be a part of his game.
She lifted her head to meet his gaze-Merlin even his eyes were smirking.
"Never" She said, her voice eating into him "Never do that without my permission."
Lord Voldemort's reply to this was a Malfoy style smirk. He wiped his mouth, tilted his head, and in a voice filled with lazy arrogance said
"Until next time Mrs Riddle." and disaperated.
The feeling of despair was not unusual to Hermione. She felt her joints freeze as a simultaneous wave of nothingness washed over her, causing goose bumps to raise on her skin,
Soberly she got to her feet, ignoring her parents, ignoring everything. She just walked out.
When Voldemort apparated back at Malfoy manor he could not help but feel prematurely victorious. He had to admit, that the kiss could have been received better. It was supposed to remind her who was the dominant one, who was in control. He nearly laughed as he wondered if that was the Mudbloods's first kiss. Then again she was particularly close to the Blood traitor's son what was their name Weasel irrelevant. She also was very close to the boy. He hoped she did not feel for him. Sweet Salazar that would be one love triangle that he would not wish to be involved in. Merlin even Severus would be better than that!
All this thoughts of what her heart might hold did resurface old hidden memories of his pervious romantic…encounters.
In particular his first kiss. It had been with an extremely good-looking Ravenclaw forth year. He himself had been in his third year. It had certainly been different to his kiss with Hermione, not that the poor girl could remember it , he had wiped her memory to stop her delectable mouth telling anyone of their intimacy. That is one thing he did not need, clingy females- a definite dampener on world domination.
Ironic now how such a feeble little Mudblood will make world domination and more importantly immortality if she could just become a little clingy.
She would just have to give in to him.
When Harry found Hermione she was sat in myrtles bathroom casting spells at the tiles, blasting the majority off. Wordlessly Harry walked over to her and took her hand, pulling her to her feet. Hermione never knew Harry was this strong because she was instantly pulled to her feet. She was even more surprised when his arm snaked around her waist and they began to dance slowly to no music.
Hermione was soon grinning at their terrible dancing.
"There now you have even had a first dance now" Harry said softly.
"Thank you Harry, but promise me one thing?" Hermione asked.
Harry did not answer so she asked anyway.
"We will always be friends, no matter what right?"
"Don't worry Mrs Riddle" His voice was different now, like a computer running out of battery it seemed to be falling of, chipping away "We will always be together."
Feeling something was not right Hermione wormed her way out of his embrace, which was surprisingly easy. Once out of his embrace she could see that his face too was chipping away to reveal to all too-perfect face of Tom Riddle. Having never seen Tom Riddle, in his former appearance Hermione did not recognise the danger she was in.
"why did you call me that?" She asked her voice a lot stronger than she felt
"Because it's your name"
"Where is Harry?" She was raising her voice, but she hardly cared.
"Else ware and might I add Mrs Riddle you look perfectly delectable in that dress." Hermione could not help it she blushed, she did not want to fall into this strangers distractions but there was something so mesmerising about him, so charismatic. He stepped closer to here wiping the long forgotten tears from her face.
"Someone so beautiful shouldn't have been crying"
Before she could say anything he captured her lips with his own. His lips were icy, and the kiss was soft, timid, and delicate. Despite her heart willingness to continue with the kiss, Hermione instantly pushed the stranger away.
"Of course you are after all a married woman" He said, a glint of amusement in his eye.
Hermione near screamed as she saw the world around her slowly disintegrate, she turned around to see where the boy had gone, demand what was happening, but he was not there. Just before she could scream here eyes flew open and she was in her dorm with a rather impatient owl on her lap.
She swiftly opened the letter it read
Mrs Riddle
As you are well aware next week is the start of the Christmas break. It would be well advised if you were to stay with me during this break so that we might, consummate the marriage as the law requires thus limiting our required time together. For obvious reasons I shall not tell you where you are to be saying instead I ask that you meet one of my associates outside Borgin and Burks on the 28th of December.
Lord Voldemort
