Chapter 10

Everyone was rushing around the burrow putting a piece of toast in their mouth before they were all ushered into the sitting room so that they could get in front of the fireplace so that they could floo to Diagon Alley to get all of their school supplies for the following school year. Harry hated travelling this way but he supposed it was better than dissaperating He stumbled out of the floo and would have fallen if it had not been for a man catching him at the last minute. He looked up into the mans face and couldn't help but blush as the man looked down at him and smiled, it was probably the most beautiful smile that he had ever seen before, he smiled back and tried to hide the pink that ran up his cheek, the man stood him back onto his feet and brushed something off of Harry's shoulder. "I am so sorry to have touched you without permission, it's just that I saw you falling and I couldn't let such a beauty get hurt". Harry smiled and tried to hide his face which was burning red hot by now, he looked into the man's face and tried to speak but was unable to get anything out, just then the twins came around the corner "Harry there you are little one what are you doing and who is this georgeousness in front of you". Harry shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, he was about to try and speak when the man brushed his shoulder again "sorry how rude of me to have not introduced myself especially after touching you so inappropriately, my name is Tom, it is an absolute pleasure to meet you he took Harry's hand in his and instead of shaking it he bent down and kissed the back of Harrys' hand letting his lips gently brush against every finger before straightening back up. Harry did not move his hand and the twins shoved him pushing him a little, he thought he saw the man ready to move to almost stop them but Harry looked at him and smiled "how rude of me also after you were so kind to stop me falling, I am Harry, Harry Potter it is lovely to meet you". The twins leant forward and introduced themselves to 'Tom' but the mans eyes had not left Harry's once which he knew because his had not left the mans either, the twins again tried to talk but the man interrupted them again "I thought my trip today would have been fruitless but to see such beauty before me has made this one of the best days of my life, but I am sorry I have made you uncomfortable and believe me when I say that is the last thing I would ever want to do to someone so precious". Harry looked up and saw that the man was frowning internally chastising himself for what he just said Harry stepped forward and put his hand cautiously into the other mans "no, no please don't be upset, I am not uncomfortable at all, and you have made my day also". Tom looked up with a shocked look on his face as did the twins at Harry's boldness , he was shocked himself, but he didn't look away from the man, he wanted him to know that he meant it. Tom smiled his brightest smile yet and leant in close to Harry so only he could hear him "I will let you get your school things my precious beauty, but I promise you it would take world war 3 to stop me from seeing you very very soon", he took Harrys hand in his again and bent to kiss it closer to Harry's face this time so that he could look at him as he kissed every finger and then walked away . Harry stood there staring after the man for as long as he could before the twins shook him and asked what the hell that was , Harry shrugged and walked away towards the rest of the weasleys smiling to himself, he couldn't believe it, this is the feeling he had been looking for his entire life, belonging, and most importantly LOVE.
