The next few months were wonderfully sinful. Most days it was like nothing had changed. But every so often Tom would get a look in their eyes and he wouldn’t let her go until she was screaming for more.
School life continued on its normal path until one day a third year boy was found petrified in the boy’s loo. A few weeks after that a girl’s pet cat was dead by similar means. Rumors started to fly, the legend of the heir of Slytherin was leaked. Everything seemed to be breaking into chaos when a fourth year student was found dead.
During all this time as things got worse and worse there was only one person Hermione looked to. She knew there was only one person at the school that had the cunning to do all of if and not get caught.
When she was with Tom she acted as before, sometimes cold, but already giving in when he sought her company in private. But during the day she watched him whenever she could. She followed him as much as she could without getting found out. She needed to discover how he was doing this, and stop him from killing again.
It was nearly Christmas when she felt him rise from her bed in the middle of the night. She wondered how many times he’d left her so early and she’d never noticed before. She pretended to sleep as she listened to him dress.
Once he left she got to her feet as quickly as she could and started summoning clothing to her as she dressed as quickly as she could. She disillusioned herself simply as she moved as fast as she dared, following Tom down to the first floor.
At the bottom of the stairs in the entrance hall she watched as he looked around to see if anyone was watching. When he decided it was safe he started to speak quietly. Hermione moved slowly closer as she tried to hear was he was saying, but he stopped speaking before she was close enough to catch a single word.
She watched him for a moment, a determined look on his face before he made his way down into the dungeons of the castle. Hermione followed as she wondered what he was up to. She watched as he entered a dark doorway and used the shadow to hide himself from the hall.
For a moment she’d thought he had figured out she was following him, until she heard someone else coming their way. She flattened herself against the wall and waited with Riddle. She had to wonder what all of this was about.
Hermione’s eyes widened as she realized it was the sweet and kind Hagrid who was sneaking around so late in the castle. She was about to give herself away when Tom stepped out of his hiding place and started to follow the younger student.
She decided maybe Hagrid was his next victim, and thought it would be better if she caught Tom in the act. At least this way she could stop him before he killed the younger student.
They followed the footsteps until Tom stopped suddenly, his head inclined in the direction of new noises. Hermione heard a door creak open, and then Hagrid speaking in a hoarse whisper.
“C’mon… gotta get yeh outta here… C’mon now… in the box…”
Tom suddenly jumped around the corner. Hermione moved to keep him in sight, but stayed out of the way. She could see the dark outline of Hagrid crouching in front of an open door, a very large box next to it.
“Evening, Rubeus.” Tom said sharply.
Hagrid slammed the door shut and stood up.
“What yer doin’ down here Tom?”
Tom stepped closer to him and Hermione moved closer to Tom.
“It’s all over,” he said “I’m going to have to turn you in, Rubeus. They’re talking about closing Hogwarts if the attacks don’t stop.”
Hermione blinked and looked between Tom and Hagrid. There was no way the sweet fourth year could be causing these attacks. How could Tom think such a thing?
“What d’yeh-”
“I don’t think you meant to kill anyone. But monsters don’t make good pets. I suppose you just let it out for exercise and-”
“It never killed no one!” The younger student said as he backed against the closed door. From behind Hermione could hear a funny rustling and clicking.
“Come on, Rubeus,” Said Tom, moving closer. “Think of the dead girl’s parents. The least Hogwarts can do is make sure that the thing that killed their daughter is slaughtered…”
“It wasn’t him!” Hagrid roared, his voice echoing in the dark passage. “He wouldn’! He never!”
“Stand aside,” Tom said, drawing his wand.
Hermione held her breath as his spell filled the corridor with a sudden flaming light. The door behind the larger boy flew open with such force it knocked him into the wall opposite. And out of it came something that made Hermione hold both hands over her mouth.
A vast, low-slung, hairy body and a tangle of black legs; a gleam of many eyes and a pair of razor-sharp pincers. Tom raised his wand again, but he was too late. The thing bowled him over as it scuttled away, tearing up the corridor and out of sight. Tom scrambled to his feet, looking after it; he raised his wand, but Hagrid leapt on him, seized his wand, and threw him back down yelling, “NOOOOOOO!”
Tom narrowed his eyes back up at the younger but larger boy and got to his feet once again. “You let it get away. It’s on you if it kills again, completely on you.” he said snatching his wand from the boy before he righted himself. “I’ll be going to the Headmaster about all of this.” He told Rubeus coldly.
He turned with a swirl of his robes before heading back up the way he’d come. Hermione was torn about what to do. It hadn’t been Tom after all, but Hagrid looked so broken at the loss of his dangerous pet.
After a moment’s hesitation she decided it would be best if she headed back up to her dorm and pretend to not have witnessed what she just witnessed. It wouldn’t help anyone but Tom to have a second person knowing what really happened tonight, and Tom could help himself enough.
When she got back to their dorm Hermione carefully slipped out of her clothes and climbed back into bed as naked as she’d been a few hours before. She laid down and tried to sleep, but her brain wouldn’t stop going over the events of the night.
It was a few hours before she heard the outer door open. She couldn’t help but wonder if Tom would rejoin her or slip into his own bed. She didn’t have much time to wonder when her door opened.
“You’re already awake.” Tom said after a short pause.
She sat up and looked to him blinking at the light behind him. “I woke and you were gone.” She said letting the suspicion she felt seep into her voice.
“Yes, I made a decision tonight.” he started with a sigh as he stepped further into her room and started to undress.
She raised an eyebrow at him. “I know you probably won’t believe me, but Rubeus Hagrid was behind the student’s… He had a creature in the castle that he couldn’t control.”
Hermione frowned and shook her head as she saw how much of his mask Tom was hiding behind. She wondered what she’d missed about tonight. “Is he okay?” She finally asked.
“Mostly. They have decided to expel him.”
“And this creature?” She asked knowing she should be curious about it.
“They think its run off into the Forbidden Forest.” Tom told her tiredly. “I’m sure you’ll hear more about it tomorrow, right now I just want to sleep.”
“You could have done that in your own bed.” She reminded him, wondering why he had come back into her room.
“I do it better here.” He told without emotion as if it was that simple. He paused for a moment, waiting to see what she’d say.
Hermione nodded and laid back down in the bed, waiting for him to move in behind her and wrap his arms around her. “I think your room smells better than mine.” he said against her ear.
“Maybe you should clean it more.” She answered tiredly.
He chuckled and kissed her neck. “It smells clean, it just doesn’t smell like you.”
The next day the school was abuzz with rumors of what had happened the night before. No one seemed to know the exact events, but it was clear to everyone that Tom had somehow saved the school and all the students within it. Hermione had been there, but something was keeping her from buying it completely.
Most of the students were leaving for the Holiday, like always only a few were staying at the school for the season. Once the other students had left Hermione spent most of her day following Tom around the school to see what he’d do now that no one else was around to see.
After dinner he headed out onto the grounds, making his way slowly into the Forbidden Forest. She wondered if he planned to try and track down the creature himself. They were a good ways into the forest when he stopped and started to hiss in a way that sent a small odd thrill down her spine.
Hermione frowned and looked around wondering what he was doing hissing in the woods when she saw the answer to her question. The fifty foot long hissing answer to her question. She held her breath and watched as Tom seemed to be speaking to the snake, no, not snake, Basilisk. It was huge and Hermione suddenly realized it was a perfect fit for every odd attack on the students.
She closed her eyes quickly, knowing to look into a Basilisk’s gaze meant death. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she tried to think of a good retreat from her situation. She had to warn the school that the monster was still very much a danger.
Taking a step back Hermione stepped on a twig, the cracking sound echoing through the area. When she heard the snake turn to look she threw caution to the wind and turned to make a run for it. She dropped her spell so that she could focus more on running away.
“HERMIONE!” Tom yelled behind her. She could hear him hissing again and then the sound of the large snake turned away and all that could be heard was the footfalls of the two students.
“Hermione stop! I can explain! He won’t hurt anyone else!” Tom called after her as he chased her down.
Suddenly the forest ended and she found herself at the edge of the frozen lake. She could see the lights of the castle glowing in the distance. With a quick glance behind her she decided to take the risk and plunged out onto the ice.

“Don’t make me do this Hermione, you’re too valuable to me.” Tom was still chasing her out onto the lake. “Don’t make me destroy such a beautiful MIN…” A sudden crashing sound interrupted his words and Hermione turned in time to see him fall into the ice cold water.
