Christmas felt like forever, sadly, not in a good way. Tom returns with the expectation that Nagini is going to be somewhere in the castle. He starts to worry that she won't show up and thinking about his snake allows him to be less nervous about Harriet. They must talk. That's what he said they would do. Tom tried to give himself strength as usual, consider that maybe Harriet missed him more than he did.
Feel less pathetic about it.
And... It didn't work.
As soon as he walked into the Great Hall for dinner, with everyone back at school, he could see Harriet seat at the Slytherin table. She's talking animatedly with Hermione, Lee Jordan, Ron and the twins. It's endless chatter where Harriet laughs and jokes as usual. Where she glowers as usual. At no point does she turn to look at him. Harriet doesn't so much as glance at the Slytherin table.
"Where were you? We came to think you'd been kidnapped or killed because you were nowhere to be found." Listening to Regulus at this moment, where he only has a head for Harriet, feels like having a fly hovering in his ear.
"I suppose that picture made your mother very happy," he snaps at Regulus. To make matters worse, she didn't think the Black would come to talk to her. "You're worse than a puppy, Regulus. Who knew?" sneers Tom helplessly.
Regulus doesn't say anything. He has no way to avoid this feeling and urge to just go along with it. That maybe something can change, fix itself and work. He tries to see the same thing Tom sees, it's impossible. There are too many people moving. He can barely guess as he looks towards Gryffindor.
What can Tom be interested in there? Nothing. That's why it's strange.
"In your house!?" shrieks Emma. "And you're not his girlfriend!?"
"It's no use. I don't even know why you expected anything." grumbles Drakonys, fixing a lock behind her ear.
Drakonys obviously didn't tell anyone the truth and doesn't plan to tell either. What they believe is that Tom just came to her house and Drakonys didn't try anything to be with him. Nothing very strong at least. She moves her jaw, annoyed at how much Emma, Pansi and other Slytherin girls complain. All complaining about having wasted having Tom in their housing.
If they knew what he was like, they wouldn't be so desperate for this son of a bitch, Drakonys thinks to herself. Not to mention that to her, Tom is no big deal at all. "His chest is too thin, arms too. He sure doesn't have anything down there."
"Don't be a liar. He has a good body."
"And how do you know?" complains another at the assertion.
"I peeked into the boys' bathroom once. They always say he goes alone. So I took the opportunity so I wouldn't have to see anyone else" explains the Slytherin girl with a smile. Blaise looks at her with annoyance and distaste. "And it's... Well how do I explain it?"
"Pretty?"
"Pink-tipped?"
"In harmony with the body."
"Pathetic." snorts Drakonys with annoyance and crossed arms.
"It's big. It wasn't hard, but-"
"It's no bigger than mine. That's for sure. With how malnourished he is, he must be a dysfunctional little thing." says Blaise not wanting to hear about others and their private parts.
Especially from another man. If it was talking about women's breasts, that would be a different story.
"Oh don't be envious. Slytherin Prince is the prince and you're not." rubs the same girl, causing giggles and Blaise smirks before casting a spell under the table.
