Hermione's POV

I enter the great hall for breakfast. "Hey Granger!" a guy calls. I turn to see Mr Tonks waving me over to his table. I sighed and headed over to be polite. "I just realized we were never properly introduced. I'm Brad, Brad Tonks" he says holding out a hand. I shake it.

"Hermione Granger" I say.

"Well as you can see I'm a hufflepuff fifth year and a prefect. That over there talking to Kevin Diggory, is my fellow fifth year prefect Martha McKinnon. She and Diggory have been dating since last year" he tells me. Pointing at the pair.

"That's nice" I state as I help myself to the porridge.

"You single Granger?" he asks.

"Why?" I ask confused.

"A certian sixth year gryffindor has noticed you" he states nodding to the gryffindor table. "That's him over there, Septimus Weasley sitting by Annie Prewett. Though I'd stay clear of him. I hear Cedrella Black has a crush on him. Not caring that she'll be disowned if they ever hooked up" he tells me. "I think you'd be better paired with Lyall Lupin, but Fleamont Potter tells me he has a crush on a muggle" he says lowly.

"Fleamont Potter?" I ask shocked. That's the name of Harry's grandfather. The inventor of the Sleekeazy's Hair Potion.

"I wouldn't bother with him, he's been dating Euphemia Wood since our third year. She's Professor Wood's daughter" he tells me. Nodding to the pair.

"I'm not interested in dating anybody" I tell him.

"Suit yourself" he says with a shrug.

"Miss Granger" Professor Ravenhill says as she appears. "Here's your timetable, I trust you can find your classes" she says. Handing it to me.

"Yes professor, Malfoy gave me a tour yesterday of the classrooms" I tell her. She nods and left. I look at my schedule before pocketing it. I finished breakfast, before heading off to history. Where I sat beside Millicent and took notes diligently as I always do.

"How are you not bored?" she asks me with a groan. "All is does is drone on and on" she states.

"History is important" I tell her. "Besides if you want to pass, you have to take notes" I add.

"Can I borrow yours for this class?" she asks. "I have trouble not falling asleep in most of his class. Let alone a double first thing Monday morning" she states.

"Sure, just don't ask me to do your homework" I tell her.

"Wouldn't dream of it" she tells me resting her head on the table. "Wake me when there's ten minutes left of class" she tells me. I nod and she nods off. I roll my eyes and she's supposed to be a ravenclaw prefect. Setting a fine example.

After history we went to Potions. "Ah Miss Granger, can you come here a moment?" Slughorn asks. I do so. "Now we have a sitting plan in this class and partners had already been chosen at the beginning of the year" he explains.

"I understand" I tell him.

"But lucky for you, there is a student without a partner yet. And he has kindly offered to be yours for the year" he states.

"Sounds good sir, who is it?" I ask curious.

"Tom, raise your hand" he says. I turn to see a slytherin with dark hair and dark brown eyes raise his hand. Giving me a charming smile and I freeze. "Well there he is Miss Granger, please go take your seat" Slughorn tells me. I nod and cautiously head over to Tom.

"I don't bite Granger" he says with a smirk.

"Not scared of you Riddle" I state as I sit down taking my stuff out.

"I don't recall telling you my last name or Slughorn mentioning it" he says smirking. I freeze briefly. But I shrug it off, pretending not to hear him and he chuckles. I feel a presence in my head and put up my walls.

"Stay out of my head Riddle" I snap and he chuckles. The rest of class arrived and Slughorn took the roll. Before having us to a revision on doxycide and what it's used for. At the end of class, he tasked us to do an essay on Amortentia, the worlds most powerful love potion.

"Want me to escort you to lunch?" Tom asks me.

"Rather die of hunger" I tell him and left the class. I head to the great hall and sit at my table. Millicent joins me.

"How was working with Riddle?" she asks me.

"Riddle?" Zachary asks.

"Slughorn paired them up in potions" she tells him.

"Sucks to be you Hermione" Jeremy chuckles as e twirls his wand.

"We just ignored each other" I tell Millicent. She nods and we have lunch. Afterwards I go to Arithmancy with Jeremy. Professor Ravenhill was not as strict as Professor Vector had been. She gave out just as much homework, but it wasn't as complicated the homework Professor Vector used to set me.

I then had double Defense Against the Dark Arts. The first lesson we focused on revision on Boggarts. The second part of the listen we practice the trip jinx on each other. We all ended up with bruises on our hands and knees. For homework we were asked to do an essay on how to face a boggart and repel it.

We then had dinner. After which I got a head start on my homework before Astronomy. Not knowing that Tom was having a meeting with his death-eaters.

Tom's POV

"My lord, are you ok?" Avery asks.

"I'm fine Avery, why do you ask?" I drawl in a bored tone.

"Well you stared at that new girl Granger all day" he states.

"True, and you never show an interest in witches" Dolohov adds.

"Does our lord have a crush?" Rosier asks. I point my wand at him and he screams in pain.

"What to say that again?" I sneer lifting the curse. He shakes his head.

"Perhaps we should continue our meeting, my lord" Yaxley suggests.

"Excellent idea Yaxley" I praise. "Today we were discussing who we should invite to join our cause" I state.

"What about Walburga Black? She hates half-blood, mud-bloods and blood traitors" Nott states.

"Also comes from a respected pure-blood family" Mulciber adds.

"No witches" I tell them.

"What about Abraxas Malfoy?" Rosier suggests still groaning in pain.

"Wouldn't be a bad idea to have the head boy on our side" Dolohov states.

"He'd help us get more members" Yaxley states.

"Doesn't he hang out with Crabbe and Goyle?" Avery asks.

"Yes, but they're idiots" Rosier states.

"All muscle and no brains" Dolohov chuckles.

"Wouldn't hurt to have more muscle" I muss. "Nott, seeing as they are in your year. You'll approach Malfoy about joining. If he joins Crabbe and Goyle will follow him" I state. He nods his head. "Meeting dismissed" I state. Yaxley, Mulciber and Nott left to return to their dorms. While the rest of us got ready for bed calling it a night. As I lay in bed waiting for sleep to take me, I think of Hermione. I must find out who she is and see if she'll be useful to my cause.
