Hermione's POV

"We have to go together tomorrow to Hogsmeade" Millicent states.

"I thought it was only Saturdays" I say confused.

"Hello, Hogsmeade weekend" Zachary chuckles. "It's Saturday and Sunday" he state.

"It'll be fun, besides we missed seeing you today" Millicent tells me.

"Ok, how about after breakfast tomorrow?" I ask them. They agree. "Lets head back to the dorms, I want to finish my homework" I tell them. They agree and we left the great hall.

Tom's POV

I was enjoying dinner after setting the basilisk on the mud-blood David Kenning. I had Avery write a message on the wall in rooster blood. A warning to the other mud-bloods. "My lord the body has been found" Yaxley whispers in my ear. "Everyone is going" he adds and I noticed the other students leaving the great hall.

"Lets go then" I tell him and we left. We followed the crowd. We arrive to see them gawking at the message and the body under it.

"You had better beware mub-bloods" Lestrange sneers. Maybe I'll invite him to join my racks next. I then notice Granger. She lot to be having a breakdown as Bagnold tried to talk to her. I curse silenlty in my head, she must know it's me. I can't have her telling anyone.

I watch her run off. "Yaxley gather some of the others, go after Granger and bring her to me. Undamaged, otherwise you know the consequences" I tell him. He nods and hurries off. I go to the seventh floor to wait for them. Thinking of how best to deal with this situation.

Hermione's POV

I stare in horror at the message written on the wall in blood. The heir of Slytherin has returned to continue Slytherin's noble work, enemies of the heir beware. It's happening again, please not again I think as I start to breath hard.

"Hermione, you ok?" Millicent asks me concerned. I try to speak, but couldn't. I back away from her and the wall. "Hermione, it'll be ok" she tries to reassure me. But I ignore her and take off running to my place of safety, the library.

"It's happening again, I can't believe it's happening again" I rant. "Oh my Merlin, Myrtle she's going to die" I mutter. "No, she won't. I'm going to save her, I have t go to Dumbledore and tell him about Tom. I should of when I first arrived" I state.

"Everything ok Granger?" a voice asks. I turn to see Abraxas Malfoy.

"I'm fine, just going to go see Dumbledore" I tell him.

"I'll escort you to his office" he states.

"It's fine, I know the way" I tell him.

"It's my duty as head boy, especially with the recent attack" he tells me.

"I can handle myself" I assure him.

"Malfoy, what's taking so long?" a boy that reminds me of Goyle asks as he appears with another boy that looks like Crabbe. These must their ancestors. I shouldn't be surprised Abraxas is friends with them.

"Yeah, you know Riddle hates to be kept waiting" Crabbe states.

"Riddle?" I ask shocked drawing my wand as I look at Malfoy. "You're working for Riddle?" I demand.

"You don't understand Granger, I have no choice" he tells me.

"I thought you were different, but you're just like the other Malfoys I've meet. You're a coward" I sneer. "Now get out of my way" I tell him.

"You can't take all three of us Granger" he states.

"You have no idea what I can do" I tell him. He sighs and nods at the other two drawing his wand. "Flipendo" I say and the spell knocks him back. I then turn pointing my wand at Crabbe and Goyle. "Lumos Solem" I say a burst of sunlight lights my wand.

"Ahh!" Goyle shouts covering his eyes.

"My eyes!" Crabbe cries. I turn on the spot and took off running for the exit. I had to find Dumbledore and warn him about Tom.

"Stupefy" a voice says and I feel something hit my back. I'm sent flying forward. My head hits the corner of a bookshelf and my world goes dark.

Third Persons POV

"Nice shot Avery" Dolohov says as Yaxley headed over to the unconscious Hermione. Abraxas had gotten to his feet. Crabbe and Goyle still complaining about their eyes.

"Surprised she took on the the other three alone, seems more like a gryffindor thing to do. Then a Ravenclaw" Avery states.

"Avery, you idiot" Yaxley snaps as he picked up Hermione.

"What?" Avery asks him confused.

"Our lord wanted her undamaged and look at her head" Yaxley tells him. Avery does so and winces at the blood.

"He's going to torture me" Avery whines.

"No he won't" Dolohov states. "We'll just blame it on those two" he says nodding at Crabbe and Goyle. Avery smirks, yes let them get tortured for hurting Granger.

"Lets go!" Yaxley orders. "You know he hates to be kept waiting" he states. The others all nod and follow him. Dolohov tiding up the library with a flick of his wand. No one would know what had happened here. Yaxley lead the way carrying Granger to the seventh floor. Abraxas, Avery and Dolohov behind him. Crabbe and Goyle bringing up the rear slowly as their eyes start to right themselves.
