HARRY'S POV

"I'm just going to say it. Both of you are lying. I'm assuming that Blaise said Sarah because she looks similar to who he actually likes, and Harry was just copying him," Hermione said. Everyone began to think, "So we just have to think of who looks like Sarah?" Neville asked, Draco nodded as he thought. "So Blaise, you like people with pale skin and long hair and soft features?" Theodore asked, Blaise chuckled and shook his head slightly, "I like green eyes and black hair, I like them shorter than me and intelligent," he sighed, "I like them kind, funny, and caring. I like it when they care deeply for their family and friends," he smiled. Hermione grinned as she looked at me. I blinked at her, confused. "They sound lovely, Blaise," she giggled, "I agree. You fancy someone very nice," I smiled. He looked at me with a smile.

Everyone began to smile and laugh, at that, "What?" I asked confused, "Oh Harry," Draco laughed.

HENDRIX'S POV

I watched in amusement as Thorstan and Nicholas practically bounced with excitement as they waited for the train to pull in. Perenelle giggled as we watched them, "They look like excited dogs," she laughed. "Just wait till Sirius and Remus get here," I chuckled. She laughed, "Three men looking like excited puppies waiting for young Harry," she laughed. Almost on que Sirius and Remus apparated in, Sirius immediately joined Thorstan and Nicholas in excited bouncing, we watched as they all conversed and itroduced Sirius to Nicholas, they showed off the necklace for Harry too.

"Why do you always get here so early?" Remus asked as he approached Perenelle and I, "I can't contain Thorstan. He just apparates us most of the time he just accios me to him," I sigh. Perenelle looked horrified as Remus sighed and nodded. "Here they come!" Sirius hollered as he transfigured into Padfoot. The two men and the dog began to bounce more enthusiastically as the train pulled up, causing us to laugh.

The train stopped, and Sirius jumped and yipped with glee as Nicholas and Thorstan began to search for Harry, Nicholas pointing to any child with dark hair asking if that was him "This is way too amusing," Remus snickered as we all laughed with him.

We all watch on in amusement as Harry was tackled by Padfoot and promptly approached by Nicholas and Tom. I laughed, "Come on, they found him," I laughed as we all walked to him.

Poor Harry seemed utterly confused as Nicholas enthusiastically shook his hand as he introduced himself along with a whole speel of how he practically feels like he already knows the boy from Tom and I bragging about him so much. Nicholas wildly gestured to Perenelle and introduced her as well.

"It's nice to meet you, ma'am," Harry nervously smiled. I chuckled as Perenelle gently shook his hand and ruffled his hair. Tom huffed as he scooped Harry into his arms, "Alright, let's give the poor boy some room to breathe," he huffed as he fended off an excited Sirius and Nicholas, causing the rest of us to laugh. "Shall we go home then? We can all sit and converse over some tea," I suggested, getting a resounding 'yes' from everyone.

We all apparated to the foyer, Nifty, and a few other elves greeting us. "Nifty, we're going to have some tea in the green room," Tom said as he set Harry down. Nifty grumbled as she popped, something about not using the word 'please'.

We were all sitting in the green room, the sun setting causing a beautiful golden hue to filter through the windows. We were all conversing and enjoying Harry's stories from the school year.

"It was the strangest thing on the way home. Everyone insisted on knowing who fancies who. Blaise said the he fancies Sarah but 'Moine said he was lying. Then he told us what he liked about the person, and everyone started laughing at me!" Harry huffed indignantly, causing all of us to chuckle. "Well, what did he say he likes?" I asked with amusement.

"He said that he likes their green eyes, black hair and them being shorter than him. He likes that they're funny, kind, intelligent, and love their family and friends," Harry listed as he munched on a pastry. The moment of silence was deafening as we processed what he said. Perenelle's giggle is what sets everyone else off.

We all broke into fits of giggles, trying not to offend the poor boy, but it was already too late. His angry face only made us laugh harder, yet there was one person who wasn't laughing yet. Sirius. He still seemed to be deep in thought before Remus leaned over and whispered in his ear.

Sirius' eyes widened as he growled, clearly not liking the idea of the Zabini boy liking young Harry. Though this only spurred us to laugh harder, much to Harry's dismay.

TOM'S POV

I bid Nicholas a goodnight as the evening finally came to a close. Hendrix had sent Harry to bed approximately two hours ago, letting the boy stay up until 11:30 p.m. It was now 1:30 creeping closer to 1:40.

Hendrix was dead on his feet as he leaned against me for support, Perenelle looking much the same, though she wasn't leaning on Nicholas the way Hendrix was leaning on me.

Nicholas had stayed much longer than anticipated seeing as we got caught up in the final, last-minute, touches to Harry's gift. Perenelle and Hendrix had stayed up with us reading and occasionally gossiping. However now my poor love was dead on his feet. He was practically asleep. I scooped him up into my arms and began our way to the bedroom.

With the help of Nifty I was able to get Hendrix into some proper sleep wear and comfortable in bed. I quickly changed and crawled in next to him, drawing him in close to me and nuzzled my nose into his hair. I deeply inhaled as my eyes fell shut.

"Tom?" Hendrix murmured. I hummed in answer. "How do you feel about Blaise crushing on Harry?" He asked, his voice heavily laced with grogginess. "Like I could tear the little bastard apart for even thinking about it... but he's from a decent family and Harry seems to enjoy his company... so I suppose I'll tolerate him,"I sighed as I squeezed Hendrix tighter against me.

That's when I realized that he was already gently snoring away, already dead asleep. I smiled as I gently kissed his forehead. "Goodnight my darling."
