While Harry was rushing around getting ready at his house, Tom was standing in his room, already dressed and ready to go, looking out the window at the gardens of Malfoy Manor. His thoughts were preoccupied by the dream he had had the night before. He had dreamed of a certain black haired, green eyed boy. Harry. The memory of holding him in his arms kept replaying in his mind. That memory and one goal wouldn't leave his mind. He must have him.
***
It was 11:44am and Harry was pacing around the living room. Every time he walked past the huge mirror on the wall, he'd stop and fix a part of his outfit. Whether it be a speck of fluff clinging to his black robes, or how his hair was sitting. Of course, he didn't want to look as though he had put too much thought into his outfit, so he hadn't dressed up too much. But he still felt as though he had to look like he had put a bit of effort into it. So he had chosen out black ankle length robes with an emerald green lining. The lining being the same shade of green as his eyes. He cast a tempus and watched as the time changed to 11:45am. Just as the time changed, a knock was heard coming from the front door. Tom. Harry raced to the front door, stopping to readjust his robes and hair before opening the door. Standing on the doorstep was Tom. His robes completely black and his hair impeccably neat. Looking at him made Harry feel mildly insecure. That is, until he remembered just exactly who he was, and his snobby demeanour came straight back.
"Tom! You look lovely."
"Harry. As do you, but I'm hardly surprised. You always do."
A blush graced Harry's cheeks, causing Tom to hold back a smirk. He held his arm out for Harry to hold.
"Shall we?"
Harry placed his hand on Tom's forearm and they apparated away. Leaving the front door wide open.
Sirius and Remus who had been standing around the corner watching, stepped out and Sirius closed the door.
"Who was that?" Sirius asked.
"I'm not too sure. He hasn't mentioned a Tom before." Remus replied while racking his brain to try and think if Tom has ever been mentioned before.
"Well the least he could do was shut the door behind him!"
Remus chuckled as he walked over to Sirius. He wrapped his arms around the man and smiled at him.
"Let the boy live Siri. You know how he is."
Sirius smiled before replying.
"You're right. I suppose I can let him off this once."
Remus smiled at the man in his arms before leaning in and giving him a quick kiss. Sirius's body relaxed in Remus's arms and he smiled.
"I love you, Rem."
"I love you too, Siri."
"I love you more."
"Don't start an argument that you're going to lose, Siri."
Sirius just laughed which caused Remus to laugh too. The two stood in the living room, holding each other and basking in the endless amount of love they have for each other.

Tom apparated the two of them to a little alleyway. The two readjusted their robes and walked out onto the main street. Harry looked around.
"Where are we?" He asked.
"Lyon."
"Oh!"
Tom once again held his arm out for the shorter boy. Harry held onto Tom's forearm and Tom began to lead Harry into a very fancy restaurant. Harry looked around the room with wide eyes. The room was beautiful. Tom spoke to the girl who greeted them and she lead them to a private room. The table was set up with a candelabra and a vase of flowers. Tom pulled Harry's chair out for him, before sitting across the table from him. The lady placed the menus in front of them and went to stand in the corner to wait for them to order.
"This place is beautiful." Harry stated in amazement.
"Well you certainly fit in here then." Tom replied with a smile.
For the second time that day, Harry blushed. This time, Tom couldn't hold back his smirk. Harry noticed.
"Why do you say things like that?"
"Like what?"
"Like saying I always look lovely and that I fit in here?"
"Harry, have I ever lied to you?"
"No. But what's that got to do with anything?"
"I'm a very honest person, Harry. So, I say things like that, because that's what I think."
Harry's blushed darkened. He picked up his menu and opened it, hoping to hide the fact that he was blushing immensely. Tom let the boy off and picked up his own menu. After a while, the two were ready to order.
"For starters, I'll get the lobster please." Tom said.
"And I'll get the duck." Harry added.
"For the main, I'll get the veal."
"And I'll get the lamb rack."
"And for dessert, I'll get the strawberry plate."
"And I'll get the chocolate plate."
"Any drinks?" The girl asked while staring at Tom.
Tom was oblivious to the girl's obvious infatuation with him. As he was already infatuated by someone. And that someone would be the boy across from him who was currently smelling the flowers in the vase.
"Just water thank you." Tom replied without even a glance at the girl.
She looked at him with disappointment before going off to the kitchen to put in the order.
"I really am so thankful for everything you've done for me." Tom stated.
Harry stopped admiring the flowers to look at Tom.
"Anything for you Tom."
Tom smiled at the boy who smiled his beautiful smile back.
"Now that you've obviously gotten your body back, and been made younger, how old are you exactly?"
"I can't be certain, but I'd say probably fifteen or sixteen."
"I was guessing around that age."
The two fell silent as the waitress returned with their starters. They ate quietly, only speaking when they decided to try each other's food. The same happened with their main meals and their desserts. Tom paid for the food and the two left the restaurant. Harry walked along side Tom and they found themselves walking along the water.
"What are we going to do about Albus?" Tom asked.
"We?" Harry questioned.
"Of course. Albus ruined my life too. And I want to help you get your revenge anyway. It's the least I can do after what you've done for me."
"You just took me to lunch at an ultra expensive restaurant. You are even."
"That was just some food. You managed to get my body back. That's not even close to being even."
Harry just sighed. He knew he wasn't going to win this argument.
"I haven't had a chance to figure out what to do yet."
"Well I think I have an idea."
Harry looked at Tom and Tom had a sadistic smirk on his face that made Harry feel giddy in the best possible way.
