Toms POV

I couldn't sleep at all. I couldn't Even go back to the dorm, I stayed by Hermione's bedside the whole night. Madam Pomfrey told me she'd be fine, but I still couldn't leave. It had to be 4 in the morning when I saw Hermione twitch. She moved her hand up and I reached out to grab it.

"Harry? What are you doing here?" She mumbled.

Harry? Who the hell was Harry? Wait, why was I getting so mad? I'm Tom Marvolo Riddle and I don't care about the well being of others.

Suddenly a piercing scream escaped the lips of the girl laying g in front of me. Her eyes were closed but she had a terrified look on her face. Madam Pomfrey rushed in followed by the headmaster and the idiotic professor Dumbledore. Pomfrey stood next to Hermione e trying to wake her up, but she continued to scream. Soon other professors came in and were debating what had to be done, students were being woken up.

"Why don't we just cast a silencing spell on her? Or a muffling spell on the room?" I recommend from where I was sitting.

"Good thinking my boy!" Exclaimed Professor Slughorn.

Just then the screams stopped and everyone turned to look at the girl laying g in the hospital bed. She was.smiling and softly snoring.

"We need a place she can stay and a student to look after her in case she acts up again." Madam Pomfrey speaks up.

Then the dimwit we call professor came up with an idea, "why don't we put her in the head dorms and have Tom here look after her." Dumbledore said.

That, for once wasn't a bad idea. Wait what? No stop Tom control yourself. Everyone turned to look at me,

"Tom, would that be fine with you?" Dippit asked.

"Yes, sir."

"Good, then we shall have one of her fellow Slytherins bring her items and we shall move her in the morning. You and Ms.Burks will have classes off until Madam Pomfrey has declared her well enough."

"Sir. May I suggest Skyler and Sophie from Slytherin. They seem to be the closest to Hermione here."

"Of course Tom."

Soon the professor filed out I played down to rest, still holding into Hermione.
