Dying is a Delicate Moment by agariddle_andhernachos

Tom was now standing straight, looking right at her. He was supposed to be horrified by what he just witnessed. He was supposed to feel sick from the images still flashing through his mind. Tom knew she was manipulative and cunning, always a step ahead of everyone and sometimes even himself. Still, he felt like meeting her for the first time on this night for she was not a flame as he thought at the beginning but an entire wildfire. And he was basking in her blazing heat. He looked at the scar on her neck. He must have looked at it hundreds of times yet he truly saw it for the first time. The scar he knew she bore below her coat, the one the purple spell carved, the one he felt and bled through his shirt was right there. And he felt the sudden urge to touch it. She was standing in front of him in all of her glory and she was magnificent.

Heyy! I was wondering if there are books where H finds T's Diary and they start talking from there? I've read one where the restricted area of the library had an important part, but I can't remember the name.

I mean it's not necessary that they talk from the diary but could be something like this.

Also, I would love possessive/jealous tom. Thanks for your help!

Hi Anon-

I'm not entirely sure what's being asked here, it feels like multiple things so I'm just going to throw some fics here and see what works - Haus

It was small, slim, about the length of her hand; the leather cover was soft, the sewn-in binding was crisp, and the thick vellum pages were empty. 'Tom Marvolo Riddle' was printed in ancient, flaking gold leaf across the front. He had been a Slytherin, a prefect, and head boy in 1944. She had checked.

Hermione Granger and the Journal's Riddle by Little_Seraphim

E | WIP | 301k

‘I want to open it,’ Hermione thought nearly opening the book before stopping herself. “You cheeky book.” She tapped its cover. “Compulsion? Really?” Rolling her eyes at how stupid whatever magic the book had upon it was, she put it away in her school things and began sorting through ways of blocking magic. The new project had her eager and before long, she’d forgotten her boredom. Whatever the book was, it wasn’t common and it could influence the minds of those nearby. ‘I’ll get to the bottom of you.’ Hermione thought giving the book a grin. *** Tom didn’t know what this future world held in store for him. There were far too many unknowns and the girl herself, while not a threat directly, could certainly hand him over to someone who was. Excitement flowed through the soul fragment at the idea of a new high stakes game. The player was a child, but a genius, perhaps even one on his level. ‘This is either going to be my greatest triumph or most humiliating defeat.’ Tom thought, alone but not forgotten as the brilliant mind of his opponent whirled under her curly brown hair.

Hi, do you have any recs for tomione mentor/protegé dynamics that explore moral corruption e.g. This Tangle of Thorns?

Hi Anon:

Now that's a classic. Can't think of any quite like that particular set up, but we do have some moral corruption. - Haus

Sweet Dreams Little Dove by SanguisDominia, syrenerys

E | WIP | 209k

Sounds like your sleepwalking is getting worse, little one. The ink shone bright as words appeared, sleek and sharp, on the diary's pages. If Hermione let her fingers coast gently over the parchment, she wondered whether her skin would be stained, marked by his words. You’re overexerting yourself. You said you were in the library late last night? Hermione's heart pounded in her chest. She hated lying to Caliban, but felt no inclination to tell him the truth, either. If he discovered she preferred spending her evenings being tutored by her Potions professor, she didn’t know whether he’d praise her for being so studious or question her growing interest in the subject. Caliban was a possessive man, though he lived in a book and had no real claim on her. Actually, she couldn’t fully determine whether he was a man. Or a thing. Or an entity. He seemed like a man, though. He made her feel like a woman.

I think this might have been deleted… but Hermione goes off to wizarding university only to meet the charming Thomas Rydell who convinces her to elope and perform a magical binding marriage. Only problem- it’s actually a resurrected Tom Riddle.

Hey Anon:

This sounds like it could be two fics.

One which is Rentaus by frozenbeans, which has been deleted, and does not meet the second half of the query. The other, linked below, definitely has Tom as a Professor Rydell and he does do a magical binding with Hermione.

Peripety by BiscuitsCaramel

E | Complete | 193K

Hermione thinks there’s something not quite right with the new defence against the dark arts professor. Something that has very little to do with his unorthodox teaching methods, nor his penchant for dark magic. No, there’s something not quite right with the sense of recognition she feels when she looks at him- recognition she can’t quite place, unnerving in a way she can’t describe.
