Blood Rose

It’s a month after Hermione Granger has managed to slip into the Knights’ ranks and Riddle isn’t quite sure what to make of her.
She’s witty, extremely intelligent (always a hair behind him in the class rankings), unpredictable, terrifyingly good in a duel, and unlike every girl he’s ever met before. In short, she’s very, very valuable to his cause. So valuable, in fact, that when she contracts a particularly bad cough in the first week of October, Riddle takes notice.
She waves away his inquisitive comments and his eyebrow raises and tells him she’ll be fine in a week.
She isn’t.
