Breaking Hermione

Obliviate

Toms P.O.V

I felt like I was losing control, and I never lost control. Burning rage was festering inside me, I was going to kill Shalini. What the hell was she thinking attacking Hermione like that? Who did she think she was to embarrass me in front of the whole class- potentially the whole school?

"You, come here." I motioned for Hermione to follow me as I walked down the hall, wanting nothing more than to get her to the hospital wing and sorted out. This was goddamn embarrassing, having both my ex and Hermione embarrass me on the same day. Could shit get worse?

"Riddle?" Professor Slughorn called. I turned. Apparently the old moron had returned with a back up teacher, a shorter lady who had a hideous elf looking face.

"Sir?" I hastily arranged my features into what I hoped was a smile of reassurance. "I've made several restorative remedy's for Amortentia before so you can leave Hermione to me."

The weird elf looking teacher obviously didn't believe me, I saw her smirk skeptically before darting inside the classroom.

"I have done this many times before." I pressed.

But it wasn't that at all. I had to admit having Hermione completely powerless thrilled me in all the worst ways. I wasn't going to be giving her off to Slughorn easily. I placed a hand on her shoulder, she was so small. "She's perfectly safe with me." I lied.

"Tom my boy I don't doubt your academic skill even for a moment!" Slughorn said actually slamming a hand on my shoulder. "However.... she is a student of my class, and it I want the Headmaster to hear.... Just bring Miss Granger back into the classroom, would you?"

In my mind, all my filthy fantasies died.
I guess I would have to wait before I could get my hands on her, then.

"....I have a remedy or two that can put her right..." Slughorn said, mostly to himself than anything.

"Remedy?" Hermione peered around me grabbing hold of my arm. Her chocolate coloured doe eyes looked larger than ever, "What remedy?"

As the old Slug walked inside, I grabbed her arm and wrenched it off me.

"....never you mind Hermione, it's a special sort of drink, not really a remedy." He distracted her. I followed them, getting more irritated. I had a million other things to do right now, I didn't have time for this love potion bullshit. And it was all Shalini's fault.

"I don't think there's anything anyone can do to help Granger," Speak of the devil. Being dragged by the neck of her robes by that Elf looking teacher was Shalini, who was sporting several massive bruises from the books I threw, and did not want to miss another opportunity to hurl an insult, "She's already a whore."

"I'll deal to you later," I said, edging my voice just enough to not sound like an open threat in front of the teachers.

"Why don't you deal to her , before she, I don't know, somehow manages to fuck the entire Slytherin House?" Shalini made to lunge again at Hermione but was then captured by ropes conjured by the teacher.

I raised an eyebrow, my jaw clenching. She really just went there. I can't believe it.

"What the fuck?" Shalini screamed, trying to break free of the ropes. "What the fuck is this?"

"Don't use that vile language in this classroom." Slughorn barked.

"I'm with you on that one, Professor. That's enough out of you," The other teacher snapped, and with surprising strength dragged Shalini by the collar of her robes out of the room. We could all only just stand frozen as the aftermath of everything crashed down on us.
