When writing Tom Riddle, think about his insecurities that led to his pursuit of power. He was an orphan and felt like an outcast, which fueled his desire for control. Hermione, with her confident and often bossy personality, can challenge him. In a fanfic, you can show their relationship evolving. Maybe at first, Tom tries to use Hermione's knowledge for his own gain, but she sees through his schemes. As the story progresses, their relationship could become more complex as they both learn from each other. Hermione could teach Tom about the importance of compassion, while Tom could expose Hermione to different aspects of dark magic theory in a way that makes her question her own beliefs.
To write Tom Riddle well, you need to capture his intelligence and ambition. Remember, he was a very intelligent wizard from a young age. For Hermione, her thirst for knowledge and her strong moral compass are key. When writing them together, show how Hermione's goodness can be a contrast to Tom's more self - centered nature. For example, in a conversation, Hermione might argue for the rights of house - elves while Tom might be more concerned with his own power and status.
For Tom Riddle, emphasize his charm that he used to manipulate others, but also his underlying coldness. He should seem polite on the surface but with a menacing undertone. Hermione, on the other hand, is all about her studious nature and her eagerness to help others. When they interact, let Tom be intrigued by Hermione's intelligence but also be dismissive of her 'soft' values like friendship and love. For instance, Tom could initially mock Hermione for her loyalty to Harry and Ron, but then gradually come to respect it as he gets to know her better.
