Disclamer: I don't own Harry Potter! J.K Rowling does! If I did I could make up a very clever disclamer for this chapter...yep...

Hermione rushed to Professor Dumbledore's office. After several flights of stairs she stood infront of the two gargoyles.

"Password?" One of them croaked out. "Lemon drops." She muttered quietly just in case if anyone was around. "Correct. You may go in."

The wooden door swung open, revealing a staircase. Hermione stepped onto the first step. Soon, the stair case started moving upwards. In seconds, she reached the staircase cam to a hault, revealing the front door to the headmaster's office.

She politely knocked three times. "Come in!" An elderly voice called. Hermione slowly pushed open the old door. Albus Dumbledore was looking straight at her, a smile on his old features.

"MsGranger! Please, have a seat my dear!" Hermione gave a small smile and sat onto the old chair infront of his large desk.

"You are probably wondering why I called you here? Expecially while lessons are going on." She gave a small nod. "As you and and are aware that Tom Riddle is now a Hogwarts, correct?" Another nod.

"Well, I heared that you like challanges. How about I give you one?" Hermione contomplated this for a minute. Yes, she did love being tested and having challanges put infront of her grasp, but what type of challange was this? It could be anything. It's Albus Dumbledore afterall.

"Headmaster, if you don't mind, what type of challange is this?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Glad you asked. You see, Tom Riddle hasn't experianced a specific emotion that almost every child has when growing up." She met the Dumbledore's eyes. "Love?" "Correct !"

"You see, if we teach Tom to love, he won't become the same person today. You know how time travles works. How you can easily change the past and future just with one simple action." Her eyes were staring intensly at his face.

What exactly was going on right now? What was Professor Dumbledore trying to say?

"Sir, please don't say that you mean-" "Yes I do. I want you to show Tom how love feels and how to love others." Dumbledore said smoothly.

Why her? Out of all the girls in Hogwarts her? She wasn't as pretty as the girls. Sure she was intelligant, but intelligance can only get you so far for boys.

"Are you up to the challange ?"She gave a small jump but, with hesitation, replied with a simple whisper of "Yes Sir.

Dumbledore gave her a large smile. "Thank you . You'll be helping many by doing so. You may leave and return to your classes."

She stood but had one last thing to ask. "Sir, why did you choose me? Me out of all the other girls at Hgwarts?" He gave a soft smile. "That, is what you'll find out as time progresses. Off you go then. Wouldn't want to be late."

She turned at left, confused out of her mind. As she reached the bottom step of the stairs, she was face-to-face with Tom Riddle himself.

"What are you doing?" She asked. "Just looking at the gargoyles that's all." Hermione rose a brow in suspicon but shrugged it off. "Listen, Tom, I was wondering if we could start over. I mean we havn't been exactly nice or kind to eachother. Want to start over?"

'Why is she asking me this? We havn't really had any emotions towards eachother." "Sure, ." She nodded. "Alright, well see you later."

Hermione left the awkward moment and exited the room. Tom stood there, tempted to run to Dumbledore's office and find out why they we apparently 'starting over.'

Tom sighed and grumbled many swear words. He would find out, no matter what. Even if he would have to tourture her to get the awnsers out of her.
