HJP's POV

Harry left the motel room when he realized he was alone and descended the stairs, which he had only climbed once, to find a person in official clothes by the side. At the unknown language's obvious question, Harry blushed.

"I'm from room 7." He offered uncertain, showing his room's key number.

The other frowned only for then his eyes to grow.

"Fuud? Ruum?"

Harry could tell the other spoke little English. It made sense he'd ask that, since Winky would demand room service for him and Tom each time.

"Dining room?" Harry wondered. "Cafeteria? Bar room?" He started saying each word slowly, hoping one of them would be understood.

The man signalled Harry to follow him and they entered a side-room where the dining room was with a serve yourself kind of vibe and several private tables. Harry nodded thankfully and went to pick a plate, starting to look through what he could choose. He had just sat himself on a corner when he felt his Tom's magic presence. He looked up from his meal and, in no time, Tom was entering the room in his more Tom than Voldemort version. He approached Harry without even a look at the food on the stand and then sat before Harry on the table.

"You should have waited for me." The older argued as Winky popped in and a plate was set up with Tommy's breakfast by the female House-elf.

"I believe I pampered you." Harry reprimanded him and Tom raised an eyebrow, to which Harry signalled towards Winky setting up the food with a pointed look. "Honestly?"

Tom-tom rolled his eyes.

–Purebloods look down on you if you have a House-elf and do it by yourself. And if I dare to do it myself, what I do plenty of times, Winky immediately starts to cry and whining that she is still young and not old enough to be put down. Her words, not mine.– The older argued.

Harry massaged his eyebrows. He would have a massive talking with Winky later. He didn't want for his future child to be a pampered brat.

–Any news about what we'll do in September? Will we both go to Hogwarts or will I refuse Madam Bones and the School Board's offering?–

–What do you want to do?– Tom argued.

–Nothing that you believe will put me and our child in jeopardy.– Harry shrugged and smiled at Winky when she refilled his mug with tea. –Still, Harry Potter is too known for him to go completely incognito like you suggested last time. Not to mention that I was taken in by the Lestranges. I can't just suddenly disappear.–

Voldemort hummed as he obviously thought over it. He looked up at a group by the side staring back with confused looks and then again towards Harry.

–I know when I gave you my ring that you argued about how much it looked like I was asking you in...– the older started and Harry blushed, nodding. –I know it's sudden and that we have plenty to deal with. Both with what I did to both you and your parents and about our different beliefs.–

"Are you saying what I think you are saying?" Harry demanded.

"I know that Social Services called me your fiancé already, but officially we aren't. What means that I have no official reason to be allowed inside the grounds and..."

Harry shut up the older as he stood and leaned over the table, kissing the older hard.

"For someone who is so know it all you can be really blind. What took you so long to ask?" Harry demanded and Tom scoffed.

"I was waiting for the end of summer nights." He argued.

Or in other words, to when Serpens would be his fulltime.

LV's POV

–You look happy.– Voldemort put in as Serpens arrived.

Serpens grinned back, even though he was still just a snake. Even though he was a completely new snake.

–I just got great news this morning.– He offered and his eyes even glinted in excitement.

Voldemort hummed.

–Can't wait to be there to share them with you.–

Serpens looked back and then grinned.

"You will be the one to give it to me." He promised.

It took Voldemort everything to not lose control of the snake's body. It was the first-time that Serpens literally agreed that the two were in touch in the future.

–How long more?– He asked, wanting to be there when the moment would come.

"Not long." His Serpens promised.
