Summary
Tom Riddle’s reputation in the Wizarding World is this: ambitious, intelligent, powerful, and undoubtedly the next Minister for Magic - if only he would quit his job at Borgin and Burkes. His intentions fool everyone but Hermione Granger.
When their paths cross in 1948 due to a business deal and a cursed necklace, Tom and Hermione find themselves the friendliest of enemies.Temptation has many faces, but to Hermione, Tom Riddle’s is the most irresistible.
"I once told you that power always wins. There is no good or evil, Hermione. It is a fine line. Do you see that now?"
Hermione stared indifferently down to the man writhing in pain at her feet. She twirled her wand carelessly in her fingers as she replied, "I do."
Tom smirked and tucked a curl behind her ear, his fingers stained in blood. "Good girl."
