A short college AU. It about those people that can only be honest when they're drunk and then it doesn't really count as honestly. How easy it is to fall for the people that hurt us and how we stay with them even when we know better. Tom can only be real when he's messed up and Hermione can look past it-for now.

It's 1943, Tom Riddle's 5th year at Hogwarts when in the middle of the night, a new girl shows up at the castle. She has her own broken past, not so unlike Tom's. They form a connection, but once strange attacks start happening around the castle, she promises herself that she'll find the culprit. Even as she grows closer to Tom, she grows more suspicious.

During the winter talent show at Hogwarts School and Witchcraft and Wizardry, Lily and James each perform songs that say everything they had to say to each other for the last few months. Joint fic between TrueLoveIs4ever and The Black Cat Pounce.
