Don't forget "The more the reviews the faster the updates"

So anyone have an idea of what Tom is going to ask Hermione???????

On with the story……..

Anger you made me hit the wrong person
Anger you made me do the wrong things

Chapter – 9

Hermione was absolutely infuriated. In fact she had never been so angry in her entire life. She just wanted something nice and solid to break. Not only had the young dark lord wounded her pride but he also made her doubt her beliefs on laws. She however was not going to change her opinion. She was now in the Gryffindor dormitory pacing around after having been handed a week of detention from Tom sodding Riddle. It was only the third week of the term and she had managed to land herself in detention.

She huffed angrily and pulled her robes and uniform and changed into a nightgown. She felt hungry and wished she had eaten at the Great Hall. She was a little guilty about shouting at Rowan though. Her temper was barely under her control these days but then again who could keep their temper under lock and key while the handsome dark lord irked you.

She slapped herself in the face for thinking he was handsome and dropped down on her bed clumsily. She closed her eyes willing for sleep to come but she didn't get her wish. All she saw was a flawless face with an innocent expression. She groaned and turned around to lay flat on her stomach. She didn't realize that someone had walked into the dormitory without her knowledge. After trying to sleep for about ten minutes with no success Hermione sat up and shouted "Oh forget it, he's not that handsome"

"Who is not handsome?" Hermione heard someone talk and she drew her curtains aside to see it was Rowan's twin sister Claudia.

"No one" Hermione muttered and lied down again.

"If you're talking about Riddle I'd beg to differ" Claudia said after a while.

Hermione didn't feel the need to dignify that question with a response and she drew her curtains around her again and after almost an hour sleep claimed her.

The next day Hermione felt a lot better and her anger seemed to abate as she dressed and showered. She walked down to breakfast cheerily as her stomach was growling in need of food. She sat down with Claudia and Ursula who accompanied her.

Rowan who came and sat down looked embarrassed and kept shooting nervous glances at Hermione once in a while. Hermione observed this and felt even guiltier for having shouted at him. She looked at him and said "Rowan I'm really sorry for what I did yesterday, I honestly should learn to control my temper"

Rowan looked up and said "It's quite alright Hermione, I shouldn't have pressured you anyway"

The rest of the breakfast went on cheerily and she chattered merrily with the Gryffindor's as they reached their first class. Charms was being taken by Professor Hornbill and he seemed to be more fun to learn with than the Professor of her time. She duly noted that almost all the classes were a lot more interactive in this time period.

"Now, today we are going to learn how to levitate objects. Of course you all know the charm 'levicorpous' is used to levitate human beings but only recently a charm was invented to levitate objects. Who can tell me the charm?" he asked beaming slightly and the two hands went up once again.

Hornbill pointed at Hermione to answer.

"Wingardium leviosa, Professor"

"Yes. Ten points to Gryffindor"

"Now what are you waiting for, go on and practice" he said and the rest of the class set off practicing. Hermione, Tom, Harry and another girl in Slytherin were the only ones who came out successful at the end of class.

Hermione walked along with Claudia and Ursula to potions when she heard an unmistakable baritone voice call her "Miss Broston" and Hermione sighed and turned around as she saw Riddle striding towards their little group. Ursula and Claudia immediately started giggling and wished "Good morning Riddle" as he came forward.

"Good morning ladies" Riddle said flashing a smile which only served to make the girls giggle more and make Hermione irritated to no end. Honestly was she the only one who had a bit of common sense in the world.

"Riddle to what do I owe the pleasure" Hermione asked in an overly cheery voice clearly informing him that she didn't like his company.

"You seem to be cheery today" Riddle said still with the innocent smile which annoyed Hermione even more.

"Yes well, What do you want?"

"You seem to be asking me that question one too many times, Miss Broston"

"Am I" Hermione replied irritated.

"Anyway I am here to inform you that you will be doing your detention with Professor Slughorn today. He wants you to grade his papers and write some lines."

"Fine if that is all" and Hermione turned to go but Riddle being who he was didn't see it fit to land a girl in detention and not say sorry as it would ruin his perfect boy image.

He grabbed Hermione's hand gently and turned her around so that she was facing him and said "I'm really sorry but it's my duty as a prefect" He still didn't let go of her hand and Hermione could just imagine the gossip and the taunting she would have to go through later.

However, it was hard for her to form a sentence when she felt a tingling sensation where his cold hand was grabbing hers. She nodded and said "I understand" and without waiting for his response she turned on her heel and left as fast as her short legs could carry her. She was not about to gain any peace of mind whatsoever as Claudia and Ursula came running behind her giggling like mad all the way.

They pulled Hermione into one of the girls' bathroom and locked the door. Hermione tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge and before she could try a charm the girls pulled her back and stood blocking the door. Hermione sighed and tried to go past them but to no avail as they proved to be stronger than her. She huffed and stood glaring daggers at them.

"Why have you pulled me in here while we are supposed to be in potions?"

"Forget about potions, Tom Riddle just touched you" Claudia said looking at Hermione like she was some kind of angel who dropped from heaven to grant her a wish.

"So, are you're going to leave me now?" Hermione asked clicking her tongue in annoyance.

"No way, I think he really likes you Hermione. Oh I would give anything to be in your place" said Ursula.

"Are you going to let me out or do I have to hex you?" Hermione asked with a daring look at the two of them.

They moved away after huffing and Hermione went out at top speed to the potions classroom. The two girls in the bathroom just sighed and said "I wish I was in her place" dreamily as they left out. They weren't aware that Lois Greengrass who had eavesdropped on their conversation was standing in the bathroom with a cunning smile. She hadn't believed in the rumours when she heard Tom, her Tom was showing an interest in the Gryffindor hag but she had to now. However, she didn't feel it was time for action yet. She would wait and strike coyly. She smirked before leaving the bathroom thinking of her plans to make Riddle hers.

"I heard you got yourself landed in detention" Harry said as he came and sat beside her in the library.

Hermione groaned and let her head fall to the table as she said "Don't remind me"

Harry resisted the urge to laugh and said "Of course, what did you do to make Riddle give you a detention?"

"Long story" she said looking up.

"I have all the time in the world" and Hermione began to tell everything that happened and at the end Harry couldn't stop himself from chuckling.

"It's not funny Harry" Hermione reprimanded which only caused Harry to laugh more.

"Of course its not" Harry said sarcastically.

"Uhh, I'm going to hex you if you don't stop laughing this instant"

"Oh, alright. But what you did doesn't sit well with our idea to befriend him, does it?"

"I don't know. He's just so infuriating Harry. Worse than Malfoy actually"

"Wow, he must be really getting to you if you think Malfoy is better"

"He doesn't" Hermione said a bit too quickly.

"Uh huh" was the only response Harry could give.

"Are there any improvements with you?" Hermione asked to change the topic.

"Nope, he hardly even talks to me"

"Hmm, I thought he would be attracted by your bloodline" Hermione mused and shook her head.

"Be careful though. If he does anything at all……"

"I should tell you straight away" Hermione finished for him smiling slightly.

Hermione was thoroughly irritated by the time she walked out of her last class. She hurried up to the Great Hall to have dinner and after that she had to serve detention and no less with bloody Slughorn. She was irritated beyond point as her friends especially Claudia and Ursula had kept going on and on about her and Riddle being very compatible for each other. Actually compatible was putting it lightly, as they went to the extent of discussing their marriage details. Hermione was starting to think that Lavender and Parvati were better as the girls in this time line kept on talking and gossiping until she was sure her ears would bleed.

Hermione walked to the dungeons as Claudia who came with her wished her good luck and went off to the common room. She knocked on the front door and as Slughorns piercing voice asked her to enter.

She went in and noticed that Professor Slughorn was seated behind his table which was covered with papers, probably for her to grade Hermione thought.

"I am surprised you landed yourself in detention Miss Broston" Slughorn said looking at her with an amusing look.

"No less handed out by Tom, he doesn't do that a lot of times" he continued and Hermione resisted the urge to snort.

She sat down and started grading Slughorn's papers. She was surprised as some names were familiar to her and she almost gasped when she saw 'Minerva McGonagall' written neatly on a sheet and she noticed that her Professor was only a fourth year. She thought of how ironic it was that she was here grading her future Professors work. She also noted that Slughorn seemed to be troubled and not his usual jubilant self. Although she didn't complain, she was mildly curious as to why the Professor was being so out of character today. With that in mind she walked out of the dungeons her head filled with thoughts.

So how was it????

Not long but still an update and don't forget to review if you want the next chapter soon…..
