Hermione turned to find Tom staring back at her, and she realized at that moment that it was the first time she was seeing his face during the light of day since she had first met him all those years ago. And for a brief moment, it was as if time had reversed itself and they were once more down by the lake, devising some new genius bit of magic and sharing their thoughts on books they had read. Her in her Gryffindor robes and him in his Slytherin ones. Staring into those dark blue orbs that seemed to mirror the lake’s depths.
