Tom arrives at King Cross and goes straight to the 9¾ station. Scandal reminiscent of the orphanage and therefore, he is more bitter than usual. He sees the Weasleys not far away; the Gryffindor girls talking among themselves, Tom scape from Regulus, Daphne and Theodore. He doesn't have the brain capacity to deal with them at the moment.
He spends some time looking for Harriet, but strangely, she's not here yet.
It is anomalous because she usually arrives early. It's like a custom that his family has. It's surprising that she arrives with ten minutes left before that train starts moving.
"If you have any more problems, remember you can talk to Remus about it." James says and Harriet nods, still looking sleepy and slightly swollen because of it. Tom approaches discreetly, climbing through the nearby door without anyone noticing.
"Okay," Harriet yawns. "I'll send you a letter later... I want... to sleep more." admits sleepily.
She doesn't know why she didn't feel like she rested. She is exhausted. She is completely drained and her own discomfort as she looks makes it worse. James places a kiss on her forehead. Lily one on the cheek and at both of their requests, Hermione helps lift Hedwig's cage, as well as Harriet's trunk and backpack. They both wave goodbye, although Harriet doesn't seem to notice anything.
"Another nightmare?" Harriet nods to Hermione's question. "Well, I came prepared with a mask so you don't leave me blind in the middle of the night. This time, there will be no problem."
Harriet smiles and falls on top of her. "Mione, have I told you how much I love you and adore you? You are the best person this earth has ever given birth to." she dramatizes and Hermione pushes her away, deeming her too silly.
Hermione enters the cabin, leaves the trunks where they'll go and when she looks out of, she doesn't see Harriet anywhere. She assumes that she went to the bathroom in the other wagon. Eventually Ron will get here, he doesn't worry her.
At the same time and inside the adjoining cabin, Tom has Harriet on top of him. The girl lazily taking him by the face to kiss him. Legs on either side of him and kissing him in the calm, but deep rhythm. This is due to drowsiness.
"If I fall asleep, do whatever you want. I just had a bad night."
"What happened?"
"A nightmare" Tom looks away. Harriet's nightmares begin to become more worrying. They take a role in her waking time, "but I think I'll be fine. I'll tell Ron and Hermione I'm going to sleep. Then I'll be fine."
"You don't have to force yourself if you don't want to."
"I just want to," Harriet whimpers. "I want to be on top of you all night and listen to you moan. Plus, I miss your chest."
Tom blushes, caught off guard that Harriet is talking about these things out loud. In that respect, Harriet is indiscreet and it is a bit embarrassing. Tom didn't think she liked listening to him or being on top of him that much. Or saying it correctly: Tom considers that it is not a matter of position, she just likes to touch him on the chest.
Because...? Tom has no idea. He doesn't have a worked chest or anything flashy. It's not like her who, in his opinion, does have something to admire. In the end, it is a part of his sexual appeal and only Harriet understands, while Tom does not. She gives him one last kiss and gets up, adjusting her huge shirt that was torn through one of the holes.
Harriet bumps into the door and rubs her nose. Tom can't resist laughing and she raises her lower lip. "I'm asleep and blind, don't ask for much." she notifies herself before leaving, adjusting her glasses. Tom remains stretched out in his place.
