Thank you for following this story, adding it to your favourites and writing reviews. It means a lot :).

Sasha404 asked for more Tomione so while you wait for a new chapter, here's a deleted scene from this fanfic. Remember that scene with Tomione coming from grocery shopping? (Even if you don't, don't reread it, my writing then was way worse than now, I don't want your eyes to bleed.) Here's what happened on their way to the supermarket.

Enjoy :).

P.S. And if you feel like you want more Tomione I also wrote a one-shot as a separate fanfic that has nothing to do with this story. However, it's rated M because of a sexual content. It's my first smut I ever wrote so if you feel like you don't want to read my attempt at sexy scenes, you don't have to.

A thin layer of snow covered grass. A bushy haired girl tightened her pink scarf around her neck and glanced at the tall boy walking next to her.

"I never asked you why you're in Gryffindor," said Riddle.

"It was the Sorting Hat's final decision," Hermione answered shortly.

"You would be much better suited in Ravenclaw. Students there would at least appreciate your intellect."

Hermione wanted to roll her eyes so badly! Did he think this is the first time she ever heard this?

Riddle sensed her frustration and said, "Couldn't help it. I'd like you in Ravenclaw. You'd make the House more interesting with your temper."

"Maybe that's why the Hat decided to put me in Gryffindor. Why do you hate my House so much by the way?"

Riddle sighed. "I don't know where to start. They're just so… loud."

Hermione chuckled. It wasn't the answer she expected and hated herself for agreeing. Not that she would have let him know she shared this opinion.

"They are muggle lovers, troublemakers in the stupidest way possible and Dumbledore is the Head of the House, at least in my times. He would favour them constantly," he said with revulsion. "In my fifth year, there was a… case. A third year Slytherin had been caught out of bed after curfew by Dumbledore," he spat out the name. "He wasn't interested in the fact that he was returning from the library, just before me, and came across a fourth year Eric Johnson who had been bullying him for some time. I found them, stopped it and then Dumbledore found us. I stood up for the Slytherin boy, of course. And, as is customary, Dumbledore didn't believe me. The Gryffindor claimed it was the Slytherin third year that attacked a fourth year! Dumbledore took 15 points from his House, gave the Johnson a two-day detention with him. 30 points were taken from Slytherin and the boy had to serve five-day detention in Slughorn's office."

Riddle looked at Hermione. She was shocked. He imagined it wasn't nice to listen to such stories about her House.

"It's definitely not something you hear very often. People don't talk about bullied Slytherins. They more talk about bullying Slytherins."
