In the morning Harry sat at the table "so I talked to Tom last night" he said casually not looking up from his food "and I asked if he would like to meet you guys and he said that he would stop by for dinner today if you all are alright with it" he continued "the dark lord wants to meet us and he is coming here" Molly shrilled "of course he do you are my family and he wants to meet you" Harry said smiling.
"aww, little brother~"
"you are bringing your boyfriend home~"
"for your family's approval~" Fred and Gorge said teasingly "sure if you dare to judge the dark lord" Harry said smugly as they paled drastically but by dinner time he was bouncing foot to foot with nerves and anticipation, he knew that everyone was on edge as the time ticked by "Harry sit down you are making me dizzy from your pacing" Snape said in his usual monotoned voice, Harry had called him after lunch knowing if anything goes wrong he will handle it nicely "I am sorry but I am nervous, what if something goes wrong, what if he don't like them, what if they don't agree with him, what if" Harry wanted to continue but was stopped by Severus "Harry if anything goes wrong I will handle it that's what I am here for" he assured, Harry set down feeling better but still nervous.
A knock at the front door startled him out of his thoughts, he opened the door to find Tom standing there in his formal robes looking very handsome "Hi" Harry said smiling his nerves vanishing at the sight of Tom "hello my Harry, I hope I am not to late" he said giving Harry a kiss, the nickname was not lost on Harry and he smiled at that "no you are not, come on everybody is waiting for you" Harry said and took him to the living room where everyone was waiting.
As they entered everyone's jaws dropped to the floor including Snape who was able to hide better then others "I presume your companions will not be knowing about of this new change" Tom said turning to Severus "certainly my lord" he said bowing slightly "would you stop intimidating Severus so much" Harry said slapping his arm, the dark lord simply raised an eyebrow "oh stop you know what I mean" Harry said and turn towards everyone "everyone this is Tom, Tom this is my family" he continued "hello, it is good to see you all, Harry told me a lot about all of you" Tom said "hello to you to and he actually just told us last night about you, it was quite a shock but if he is certain there has to be some reality to it and I hope he was not misunderstood" Molly said after getting over her shock at seeing him for the first time, when Harry told them that he doesn't look like some snake like creature they saw at the ministry she was not expecting him to look like this "of course Mrs. Weasley I can assure you there is no misunderstanding and I hope you will give me a chance to explain myself" Tom said, he could see the kind of women she was and he would rather not get on the bad side of a women like her "please have a seat the food is getting cold" she said with a smile.
Dinner was a quite affair even the twins stayed quite comprehending the tension in the air only Harry talked trying to lighten the mood "the food was delicious Harry was not exaggerating when he said you were an amazing cook, thank you for having me and I was under the impression that you wanted to ask me something" Tom said when the dinner was over "yes we were hoping if you could tell more about your plans for the wizarding world, Harry and Severus have told us but we were hoping you could.... clear up some misunderstanding" it was Arthur who finally asked the question and Tom told them everything from his plans to what had happened to him that has caused him to go insane, he kept the part about the horcruxes from them, he answered any questions they had and by the end of his explanation he could see a look of determination on all of there faces "thank you for answering our questions and it would be an honour to join your cause because if even half of what you said is truth it will be very beneficial for our world" Arthur said after listening the whole thing.
"It will be an honour and Harry had told me of the possibility of this conclusion so I have thought of an appropriate position for you all considering your position in the order, I would appreciate it if you would be an spy for our side Severus can find out a lot but there are things that Dumbledore don't trust him with, which can help us quite a lot" Tom said and they all agreed to that "there are many things that he doesn't trust anyone with but he does tend to tell me and Molly most of his plans, as of present we know that there is something going on but he refuse to tell any of us" Arthur said.
"He was muttering something about a cave and Harry when we last saw him in his office, he usually calls me and Ron to ask if something is going on with Harry that he does not know and he always forbids us to tell him of the meetings" Hermoine said speaking for the first time since Tom arrived "and since when have these meetings been going on" Tom asked in a clipped tone, sensing his anger Harry tighten his hold on Tom's arm he has been holding since the beginning of the conversation "since you arrived and he told us to tell him if anything happens to Harry but he never intervened until the ministry incident and he was to late there as well and afterwards we kind of forgot about it with everything going on" she answered pointedly keeping Sirius's death out of the conversation " if I am right he will call you after you are back from the holidays and I presume that you will answer to his questions accordingly, try not to make eye contact he can use legilimency on you" Tom said "and I would like for all of you to have occlumency lessons with Severus" he added as an after thought, Harry groaned but they all agreed.
