Chapter 12
"Stop it! Voldemort stop!" she yelled as a gust of wind blew around.
He stopped but there was hurt in his eyes as she called him the name he made up. That was when he knew he lost his best friend for good and forever.
"Stop…"she whispered as she stared at him with hurt in her own eyes.
Tom pulled his wand away from her husband. And the wind was blowing hard as a clear aura was surrounding three teen boys. .
Sirius, Remus, and Harry then found themselves back at the Hospital Wing near the unconscious Hermione. The three boys didn't know what just happen because Hermione was having a dream about Voldemort, a young one. Harry thought he would never see Tom Riddle ever again ever since he destroyed his diary in his second year.
"Harry that was Voldemort?" asked Sirius.
"Yes." Harry said looking at his godfather, "That was him when he became the Dark Lord at a young age. But why was Hermione having a dream of him and that woman?"
Hermione started to moan something but they couldn't figure it out. Sirius went to go and get the headmaster and the other professors while Harry and Remus were left with Hermione.
"So does this age thing change your "doggy" problem?" asked Harry.
Remus laughed, "You definitely remind me of James. He used to call it my "furry" problem. However, it doesn't but I don't care. It feels good to act 16 years old and make fun of Serverus during his class." Remus chuckled.
Harry laughed along with him but felt unsure for some reason. He never knew that Remus was Rafael and yet, Rafael was flirting with Hermione. And Sammy…..Sirius was also doing the same thing.
"Do you have a crush on Hermione?" Harry blurted out.
Remus stared at Harry and saw Lily's eyes. Remus was never good at lying to Lily when they were younger and staring at Harry was very hard for him. Luckily, the headmaster and the other professors' came in with Sirius.
"Sammy has told me that Hermione had a dream of Tom Riddle." The headmaster said.
"Sir, Harry knows." Remus said.
"Oh?" the headmaster raised an eyebrow, "Then you do know not to tell Miss. Granger. Since she is the only one who doesn't know."
"Yes sir." Harry said quietly, "But why did Hermione have a vision of Tom Riddle." Harry asked.
The old headmaster was about to speak until everyone in the room heard a small moaned. Harry looked down and saw Hermione's hazel eyes open again. Hermione looked up and smiled seeing Harry's emerald eyes.
"Don't know what?" asked Hermione.
"Um…." Harry stammered, "Do you remember what happened before you fainted?"
"Not really. We were in Snape's classroom reading about something and I….felt cold. I saw this woman who looked just like me except she had golden hair. She was screaming for help and telling me that he is coming." Hermione said.
"Who is coming, Miss. Granger?" asked McGongall.
"I-I don't know. But she was telling me that he's alive and I have to defeat him or else I will be trap in darkness forever. Then fire was surrounding her while she was disappearing and it went inside my……" Hermione looked down at her necklace and remembered what she had said before she fainted. "Headmaster, can I go and see Aelwyn?"
"I'm afraid not, Miss. Granger. You still need your rest since you just woke up."
"There is no need to see me in town." Said a voice. It was Aelwyn. "I sense that you had a vision of someone's past."
Hermione gave a questioning look at her. But Harry, Remus, and Sirius knew what she was talking about.
"What vision?" asked Hermione who was acting a little scared?
"Didn't you saw a young man with blue eyes talking to a woman who looks just like you?" Aelwyn said.
"Professor, if you mind. Can I talk to Aelwyn alone?" asked Hermione politely.
The headmaster nodded. He, the professors, and the teenagers left the Hospital Wing. However, he wanted the three to go with him and the professors to his office. Professor Dumbledore sat down across from everyone in the room.
"You three saw a vision. What did you see exactly?" he asked
"He was Tom Riddle, about in his 20's. Her name was Jane and it looked like she hated him. But he said that they were old friends or something like that. But he wanted her to be a Death Eater and she said no. All of a sudden, her husband came and I noticed that he was hurt. Then he said the Cruico curse at him. She told him to stop and he did." Harry answered.
The headmaster said nothing for a couple minutes trying to think.
"Professors, can you leave me with them?" he asked.
"Ablus, you better returned them before midnight." McGongall said before she left.
"I'm going to show you a memory I had when I first saw Tom Riddle at Hogwarts when I was a professor." Ablus said. "Now follow me."
A young boy about 11 years old was wearing his Hogwarts robes and was walking around the hallway. He had dark black-hair and blue eyes. He kept walking until he bumped into someone and books fell down onto the ground. Tom opened his eyes and found himself on the ground with his books scattered around. But he noticed something else or someone else. A young girl with golden straight hair was on the ground moaning on the ground. She got up and her hazel eyes met blue eyes.
"I'm terribly sorry! I didn't watch where I was going." She said gathering her books.
"It's alright." He whispered as he gathering his books.
They both stood up at the same time. The young girl stared at him. She reached her hand out. They shook hands.
"My name is Jane Granger. I'm a Gryffindor." She said.
Tom looked at the girl and she was smiling at him.
"Tom Riddle. Slytherin." He said.
They both let go of their grasp. Tom was thinking that she would scream and run away but she didn't. She just stood there smiling at him.
"What are you doing here late at night, Mr. Riddle?" Jane asked.
"I was walking around. I got bored." He answered, "What about you? What are you doing here late at night, Miss. Granger?" he asked.
"I was returning from the library. I was reading ahead for class and I guess I got carried away from time." She laughed.
Tom didn't know why but he smiled at her. There was something about her that made him feel….happy.
The scene changed from Hogwarts halls to the library.
A 16-year-old Tom Riddle was sitting down in the library reading a book. His appearance haven't changed much expect for his body developing just like any teenage boy.
"BOO!"
"AWW!" he yelled as he fell off his chair.
He got back up and saw a young woman with long, curly gold hair above him smiling. Tom got back up and sat down staring at the goddess near him.
"Jane, why did you do that?" he asked.
"I dunno. I felt bored and you gotta admit it was pretty funny." She giggled. "What are you doing here late at night?"
"Studying." He answered.
"Tom, the test is over and we won't have another one for two weeks!" she whined. "Why do you study every day in here?"
He didn't answer her.
"You need to go out and have some fun. Meet new people, friends, get a girlfriend!" she said. "Tom, you need a girlfriend."
He looked up at her. "All of the girls like me for my appearance. Nothing more. I don't need a girlfriend."
"Not all girls like you for you looks."
"Yeah? Name one?" he asked as he closed his book.
"Me."
Tom looked at Jane's hazel eyes and was shocked.
"I knew that you were handsome when I first met you in the halls that night. But everyone told me that you were a badass. But I knew that you weren't. I got to know you more and I really liked the Tom Riddle I see." Jane answered.
"Jane….I-"
"To be honest, I had a crush on you in our 2nd year." Jane said.
Tom didn't say anything. He felt like time had stop and his heart was the only that was beating. That everyone could hear right now. They stared at each other's eyes once again until Tom leaned into Jane and their lips touched. Jane and Tom's lips moved slowly ….gently against each other's. Without breaking the kiss, Tom wrapped both of his arms around Jane's waist; pull her against him, as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Moments later, Jane returned to her senses and pulled away from him. She raised her hand to her mouth, a look of panic on her face. What were they doing? They have been friends since they're 1st year. That same thought occurred to Tom at the same time, and he looked away from Jane, attempting to catch his breath and slow his racing heart. When he heard footsteps he turned to see Angelina running out of the exit.
Harry, Remus, and Sirius were back at the headmaster's office. They were bewildered of what just happened. Tom Riddle, the one who became Voldemort, kissed a girl.
"Sir, what you were showing us was….Tom Riddle falling in love with a girl?" asked Harry.
"Not just any girl. Hermione's ancestor." Ablus answered, "She looks just like Jane. When I first met Miss. Granger I remembered Jane acting just like her except that Hermione was in the library more than she had been."
"Do you think…..if….if Voldemort sees Hermione he would think it would be Jane?" asked Sirius.
