Well, in the fanfiction, Hermione's presence at the orphanage with Tom could be part of a time - travel experiment gone wrong. She has to adapt quickly and deal with Tom. Maybe she tries to give him books on positive magic and stories of great wizards who used their power for good. But Tom, being Tom, is a bit of a challenge. He's both intrigued and a bit resistant to her ideas. As time passes, their relationship becomes a complex dance of Hermione trying to change his future and Tom trying to figure out her true intentions.
Hermione might find Tom to be a very intelligent yet troubled boy at the orphanage. She could use her own intelligence and magical skills to gain his trust. For instance, she could perform some simple but impressive magic tricks for him. This would make Tom interested in her and open up the possibility of a deeper connection between them in the fanfiction.
In this fanfiction, Hermione could be on a mission to retrieve a powerful magical artifact that has somehow ended up at Tom's orphanage. When she meets Tom, she initially sees him as just a child in need. But as she spends more time there, she realizes that he has a great potential for both good and evil. Their relationship could develop as she tries to influence him towards the good while also achieving her mission.
