#Hermione was actually silently devastated at the absence of a certain dark wizard in a preceding scene and I

When you decide to spend the Christmas holidays with your uhh enemy by travelling to her time. Cometh the hour, cometh the man 🤠

Short comic inspired by a segment of Chapter 42 of Somewhere in Time by Serpent in Red (@serpentinred) (PLEASE mind the preliminary notes regarding the fic (which is in Chapter 1), AND the author’s notes which top and tail this specific chapter cuz it is NOT a continuation of the main plot). There’s just something wholesome and grin-inducing about Chapter 42 that makes my heart grow two sizes, and the enemies-to-lovers tone remains an exquisite constant throughout the fic, so if that’s your thing, you know what to do!

I also owe a massive thanks to Nerys Dax (@nerysdax) for kindly looking over the panels and providing helpful comments and feedback. I really appreciated this since it was important to me from the outset that whatever is sketched out here remains as close to the author's story as possible, and I couldn't have confidently put this forward without Nerys's input.

Lastly, if it wasn't already obvious - please go read the fic lol

#Hermione was actually silently devastated at the absence of a certain dark wizard in a preceding scene and I #wish I was skilled enough to start the panels there cuz it’s such a bittersweet moment for her to still try enjoy the holidays despite that #tomione #tom riddle #hermione granger #harry potter #my art #There are minor deviations from the fic i.e. Hermione's internal dialogue (which has been paraphrased) and err clothing choices lol #The notion of having Tom go see Hermione in the future (likely 90s?) is incredibly appealing 👀 #and uh since this is my first comic there are a LOT of mistakes. Hermione's hair goes thru its own character arc here haha
