Harry picked up the daily prophet, he chuckled.

'THE BOY WHO LIVED ALIVE AND LOVERS WITH HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED???'

"Tom!" He called out, the man poked his head through the doorway.

"Hm?" Harry showed him the paper, the man grinned.

"How very predictable."

"Yeah. We should go to breakfast, I haven't seen my friends in a while."

"Alright, love. Let's go." Tom and Harry walked down to the dining room where Fred, George, and Monty were looking at the newspaper. The twins sniggered as Monty handed them a small bag of coins. The two wizards sat down next to them,

"What was that about?" The emerald eyed wizard asked,

"We made a bet..." George said,

"About what the heading would be." Fred finished,

"And Monty lost?"

"Yes." The vampire grumbled,

"Ahh. Harry and I bet, we both won." The twins grinned at them, then waved goodbye and walked away. Harry patted Monty's shoulder in comfort, he started to eat.

Harry? Tom hissed,

Yes?

What have you been doing for the past two years? I'm just curious.

Painting. Reading. That's about it.

Really?

Yeah. Boring. I know. Harry drank the rest of his tea,

You need to show me your paintings. Monty shuddered at the eerie sibilant hisses,

Ok. Come on. He stood up and together, they walked to his room. Harry opened the door and let Tom in. The man admired the beautiful art for a minute, his eyes landed on something that intrigued him.

"You painted a picture of me?" He asked softly,

"Yes. I didn't want to forget you." Tom smiled at him. Harry's head hung low as he awkwardly stared at his feet. The dark lord quickly walked up to him and brought his chin up with a pale hand.

"It's beautiful. You are a great artist." The boy flushed, his cheekbones tinted with pink.

"Thank you." Tom lent forward and pressed a painfully gentle kiss on his cheek. Harry kissed his cheek back,

"Where do you paint?" The emerald eyes wizard smiled and opened his window, he crawled out on the roof. "What are you doing?!" The dark lord cried,

"Come up, it's safe." Harry reassured and offered him a hand. Tom sighed and climbed out, he admired the scenery.

"Wow... this is nice."
