Summary
She arrived with a deafening crack, wearing the literal trenches of a battlefield and eyes so entirely hollow they look like graves. They called her a Muggle-born transfer. They call her a fifth-year. But Tom Riddle knows how magic settles into a body, and the dense, heavy static vibrating off Hermione Granger belongs to someone who has mastered things far beyond their school curriculum.
She didn't come to save him. She didn't come to change the past. She is simply a ghost surviving on pure, lethal survival instinct, her magic coiled like a starved predator ready to violently smash anyone who gets too close.
Lost in the prison of her making. Tom tries to see into the void that wants to reject everything.
