Hermione Granger X Tom Riddle/Hades and Persephone
He's on his knees before her.
The Dark Lord
The god of the underworld
On his knees.
"Just ask for it, darling and it'll be yours."
The spring blooms behind her.
Rosebuds, just about to open.
Birds, making nests.
Berries, waiting for the sun to warm them ripe.
They would all die anyway.
But Tom had shown her, death could be beautiful too.
Half of his kingdom he had promised
and offered her something spring could never give.
There's no bloom without wither.
So Hermione offers him her hand to take,
and he rises tall before her.
His darkness never shadowed her light,
only made it glow brighter.
He might be dangerous, but she's the one in control.
"Okay, let's go." She says and he arches an eyebrow. "Where to?"
"to take over the world."
"Mother, you don't understand.
I made Hades run to me.
He saw my bones beneath and offered me half of his kingdom.
Do you really think I ate the fruit unwillingly?"
