Tom was definitely not a normal 10 year old boy. He was raised his whole life in Wools Orphanage and never experienced any real love. But then the Granger family come along and scoop him up from that hell hole. All of a sudden he has parents and a sister. But Hermione isn't REALLY his sister. Not really at all.
Hermione was always an ugly duckling, she never felt seen. But all of a sudden over the course of a single summer, she is going into her sixth year and is suddenly seen by everyone. Including her long time bully, Draco Malfoy. But he is different this year, for starters he isn't trying to make her life a living hell. No.. something is up. And Hermione is going to find out.
