"Hiya Harry. Why did you leave early yesterday ?" Marcus said as soon as Harry came down to Common room for morning breakfast.

Harry just glowered at him, then huffed and left the common room

"Hey Harry. What's wrong?" Marcus ran after her.

She just kept on walking, not looking at him or acknowledging him.

"Harry...why are you not answering me? Have I done something?"

Harry turned around and glared at him, he stopped not understanding why she was upset. She just narrowed her eyes, then turned and left him standing there.

He stood there for few minutes, a bit shocked by her glare and anger, then ran after her again.

She entered Great Hall and took a seat next to some first year witch. She felt someone's eyes on herself and looked up. He was staring at her, there a was a small smile playing on his lips. Looking back at him brought back the memories of his touches and lips on her. She felt herself blushing, and looked away, then hastily started adding food in her plate.

Tom was waiting for her to show up, he wanted to see if she would keep her promise of eating meals in Great Hall. Then she entered, and took seat next to some first year. She looked up at him, he noticed that none of the marks he left last night were visible on her neck, maybe she had put on glamour like him. He smiled and she started blushing. He tilted his head slightly, that blush made her look even more beautiful.

Tom looked towards Puff Prefect, who just entered and took his usual seat next to other fifth years, then that idiot started looking towards Harry sitting on the other side of the table, but she ignored Barnes completely. Tom smirked and went back to his meal, but his eyes kept on moving back towards her.

Harry finished her meal then picked up her bag and left.

"Hey Harry" Marcus called her

She rolled her eyes, and kept on on walking.

"Listen to me plea.. Oww"

thump

She looked back and found Marcus lying face first on floor. He tried to stand up then slipped again. Few students standing nearby started laughing at him.

Harry looked up and found Tom followed by other Slytherin Fifth year passing by, he did not even throw a glance at Marcus. He met her gaze then winked at her, and she felt herself blushing again. He passed by her with a smirk, other Slytherin Fifth year behind Tom stared at her but quickly looked away as if scared about something. Sirius was looking towards Marcus lying on floor as he walked by, then he looked towards Harry who just shook her head.

She looked as they left. What's wrong with her? Her heart just missed a beat when he winked at her. She was blushing like a tomato.

Same day evening, Harry was sitting in the Library finishing up her Transfiguration essay, when somebody joined her table. She looked up, and found that her dorm mates Linda and Jenny sitting there. She just raised her eyebrows at them

"Hi Harry. Mind if we join you? We thought we should start socialising with our simple dorm-mate.. isn't it Lin." Jenny said with a most fake smile she could make.

Harry just stared at them for few second, then shook her head, "Sure ". She went back to her work.

"Uh Harry." Jenny said again.

Harry rolled her eyes then looked up at her. "Jenny I am happy that you know my name. But this is library. Shouldn't you be doing your homework. "

"Oh Harry don't be upset with her. She is just curious." Linda said.

Harry shook her head unable to understand. " About what?"

" You were with Marcus yesterday.. right? " Linda asked.

Harry frowned at them, then nodded.

" So how was your first time with him?" Jenny asked eagerly.

That got Harry more confused, "My what?"

"Oh come on Harry... We noticed you didn't return last night. This morning when you came out of shower you had these love bites all over you. So? How was it? Was Marcus any good? Tell us about your experience. " Linda asked excitedly.

Harry could not form any words. She was just shocked. They thought that she spent night with Marcus of all people. And what did they mean by her first time? Surely they don't think that she had.. her face turned red. "I ...uh .. whaaa ?"

Linda giggled then asked "Oh .. Harry you don't need to hide. We know you and Marcus were.."

Somebody cleared their throat. They looked up and found Tom standing there.

Jenny and Linda immediately said the same thing at the same time "Hi Tom" Then they started giggling.

Harry frowned at them, then looked towards Tom, who for some reason was glaring at them.

He looked towards Harry and his eyes softened up, "Hi" He smiled at her.

She felt her heartbeat increase. "Hey Riddle" She smiled back at him.

"It's Tom for you Harry." He said, still unable to move his eyes away from hers.

Harry started blushing, he just said her name. Then looked back at him and said "Hey Tom"

Linda and Jenny were silent now, and were looking back and forth between Tom and Harry, both of whom were lost in each others eyes now.

Tom shook his head, as if trying to come out of a trance, he then pulled something out of his pocket and took Harry's hand and put that on her palm. She looked and found one small flask there.

"For the scars I left on you last night. You won't need to put on glamour anymore. " He said looking towards her neck and lips.

Then he bent down putting one hand on the table and other on the back of her chair, bringing his face near hers and murmured " And sweetheart. .. I need my robe and diary back. You can keep that homework as a souvenir for your success of stealing something from me."

He looked in her eyes again then kissed her cheek and left.

Harry was blushing like a bride now. She lost count of how many time he made her blush today. She had a feeling, that he heard these two and said those lines about 'scars left by him on her' to let these two know that she was with him. She looked up at her dorm mates, remembering their ultimate crush on Tom and tried not to laugh. Their mouth were wide open in shock and their eyes were fixed on Harry.

She gathered her work, "It was nice..uhh...socialising with you two. My essay is done. I'll see you later in common room."

They just nodded and looked as she left.
