#180 in Fanfiction || #1 in Hermione || In the language of literature, there exists a seemingly-concrete, antonymous relationship between good and evil, light and dark, hero and monster. And yet, we often disregard the transition from one to another, in which the 'bad guy' becomes 'good.' Perhaps it was the cruel mistreatment of Tom Marvolo Riddle as a child, or maybe it was the bloodline of Slytherin's heir himself that made the boy into the 'monster' who cannot be named. Or, perhaps it was simply because he did not know that his heart would beat in such a frenzy, that his cheeks would redden like a crimson rose, and that his normally-calm facade would melt under the simple gaze of the time-travelling heroine. If I were to bet, I'd say it's the latter. But it matters not why Voldemort could not love, for this is not a story about Voldemort. This is the story of Tom Marvolo Riddle, and how he came into direct conflict and company with the 'brightest witch of her age' ... fifty-years ahead. This is the story of love's recognition, in which the force does not suddenly develop between two people, but a poignant emotion, different for each individual, is uniquely described to be 'love.' Maybe Tom Riddle never loved, much like that of Voldemort. However, as one chooses to stubbornly believe, love existed for Tom Marvolo Riddle as long as he chose to believe that he loved Hermione Jean Granger. ////// NO TRANSLATIONS ARE BEING ALLOWED AT THIS TIME DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters detailed in this book, nor any of the quotations and plot taken from "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

Nicht genug, dass Hermine ihre Eltern verloren hat, nein, Professor Dumbledore hat auch noch eine Aufgabe für sie. Eine Aufgabe, die alles verhindern könnte, eine Aufgabe die das Leben von jeden verändern könnte. Eine Aufgabe, die ihr Leben für immer verändern wird. Alleine muss Hermine diese bewältigen, ohne eine Möglichkeit um Hilfe zu bitten, macht sie sich an diese Aufgabe und steht vor Problemen, Hindernissen, Intrigen und Gefühlen, von denen sie glaubte, dass sie nicht möglich sind. Vor allem wenn man weiß, wer er ist! ************* Alle Rechte liegen bei J.K. Rowling. Ich leihe mir Personen und Orte, sowie eventuelle Handlungen nur aus.

She woke up in Azriel's torture chamber with no memory of who she is or how she ended up there. He tells her she's there because she deserves to be there. Who do we become when we lose ourselves? (Throne of glass mentions and tie-ins)
