By the time Tom Riddle had reached his seventh year at Hogwarts, his love for Harriet Potter had become as legendary as his aptitude for the Dark Arts.

Although Tom was feared, Harriet was admired by all.

Together, the sly Slytherin and fiery Gryffindor composed one of the most powerful, well-respected couples that Hogwarts had ever known.

Early one morning before classes started, Tom and Harriet cuddled in the secret corner of the castle they often used as their private meeting place.

Tom's lips brushed Harriet's as his hands gripped onto her waist.

She sighed into their kiss while her fingers clutched the front of his robes.

"Only a few more months until graduation, sweetling~." Tom whispered against her lips in a velvet purr.

"Just a few." Harriet agreed as she resumed their kiss, but Tom seemed determined to end their affections prematurely that morning.

He tore himself away from her intoxicating lips as he straightened his back and gazed down at her.

Tom Riddle was a tall, handsome alpha.

Any other omega would have melted underneath the intensity of his dark gaze.

Tom's short, curly hair only seemed to enhance his smouldering stare as his loose ringlets framed his face and highlighted his angular features, but Harriet scowled at her attractive, soon-to-be mate in irritated consternation over the early cessation of their kiss.

"Just think, sweetling." Tom smiled as he purposefully ignored Harriet's blatant annoyance, "We'll be married the day after......then you can stop taking those pesky heat suppressant potions."

"Tom, we've had this chat many times before." Harriet said as she crossed her arms with a huff, "I'm not stopping my heat suppressants.....What am I supposed to do about the Auror Programme if I fall pregnant?"

Tom chuckled darkly as he replied, "And is the Ministry planning to shut the programme down soon? It's a proven fact that younger omegas bear healthier pups. You can start the programme as soon as you've finished birthing my heirs."

"I won't be birthing any heirs at all until I've become a full-fledged auror and spent a few years in the field." Harriet defiantly declared.

"Oh, my dear Harriet.....You'd rather go out into the harsh, cold world..." Tom sighed as he pulled her tightly to him and rubbed her hips with his hands, "Then lie in your nest with my children in your belly? You don't want to tell everyone about the lovely benefits of having such a strong alpha like me as your mate? You'll be the Minister for Magic's wife someday, Harriet Potter. Is there any more noble use of your time?"

Harriet knew the best way to deal with her overzealous lover.

She closed her eyes, leaned in, and pressed a gentle kiss to his lips before she pulled away and whispered against his mouth, "No heats until I'm finished with the programme, Tom. No heats at all. I won't budge on that."

As Harriet wriggled free from his grasp, turned, and walked off, a dangerous scowl formed on Tom's face as his eyes lighted on her bottom while she marched down the stone corridor.

Later that night, Tom frowned as he sat in his dormitory bed and flipped through the large, ancient book that lay in his lap.
