Till Death Do Us Part [Tomarry]

Chapter 2: Cat Got Your Tongue

Wow!!! Look!! It's a whole new LONG chapter!!! In a week!! Mark this on your calendar folks cause you'll never see it again. I'm so bad at updating where did this inspiration even come from?

So yeah here's a new chapter. A whole 6200 words or so.

The book Harry mentions is 'Carry On' by Rainbow Rowell, if anybody was wondering. Just letting you know.

Thanks for all the support you guys have given this story! I enjoyed reading your comments and seeing how well-liked it is by all of you!!

Which brings me to my next question. Does anybody want me to write smut for this? Like, it wouldn't be this chapter or next chapter, but definitely sometime in the future? It would be my first time writing it, but I don't think I'd do too badly, so.. Let me know in a comment or something!!!

Harry was one of the first ones awake, and thus, decided to go to breakfast a bit early. Not soon after he sat down, with the full intention to read his book (the same one from last night), Tom sat down right next to him. They were the only two of his group at the table, and thus, free to converse.

"It escaped my mind we wouldn't be able to share a bed anymore when I thought of the idea, Love." Tom started scooping food on his plate.

"There's always the Room of Requirements. We can stay there sometimes, if your ducklings know how to keep a secret." Harry put his book down and instead munched on some eggs.

"They'll keep a secret if they want to live. You were awake last night, yes?"

"Yeah." Harry looked at Tom's plate. "What's with all the food? I haven't seen you eat that much since that time you forgot to eat for four days. You know, when we discovered that super old library."

"This body has just come back from the orphanage and I'm starving." Tom replied.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot about that." Harry mused.

"So what dark secret are you going to tell Orion first?"

Harry smirked. "Parseltongue. It'll be an accident. Do they know you have it?"

"No," Tom answered. "But I can let it slip, I'm sure."

"Let what slip?" Orion appeared out of nowhere, taking a seat on the other side of Harry. His hair was was almost down to his shoulders, and it had a smooth, glossy look that reminded Harry distinctly of Sirius. "Oh, I'm Orion, by the way. I know I introduced myself yesterday, but there were like five other people there, so." He was being much more open than he was yesterday.

"It's nice to meet you, Orion. You can call me Harry." He re-introduced himself to the Black heir. "Tom and I were just discussing what would happen if I got lost in this giant castle."

"As I was saying, I'm sure the teachers would let it slip for the first week or so. Honestly, they let the first years come half an hour late sometimes." Tom agreed.

Orion tilted his head. "What do you have first?"

Harry dug his schedule out of his robes. "Oh, uh, here."

He looked it over, then took out his own schedule. Suddenly, he grinned. "Looks like we have the same schedule!"

"Really?" Harry glanced over to the sheets, then smiled. "That's great. You wouldn't mind showing me around, would you?"

"Not at all!" Orion happily replied. He turned to Tom. "Tom, what does your schedule look like?"

Tom dug his schedule out of his robes as well, setting it on the table, then immediately going back to his food. If Orion thought it was strange Tom was so focused on food, he didn't show it.
