Next day, it was late in the morning when Harry opened her eyes, her head was resting on Tom's chest and he was running his fingers through her hair. She lifted her head and gazed towards him, he was staring at the ceiling, deep in his own thoughts. Her movement broke his chain of thoughts and he moved his eyes towards her and smiled, "Morning "
She blushed on meeting his gaze and smiled back at him. He kept on staring at her face with a slight frown.
She tilted her head as he looked worried about something,"What is it Tom?"
He shook his head then closed his eyes. She knew he was concerned about something, "Tom?"
He opened his eyes and gazed at the ceiling again, "Last night, I should have controlled myself."
She touched his cheek making him move his eyes towards her, "What happened?"
He took her hand in his and said, "Its just.. what if.. "
She frowned at his cryptic reply, "What if what?"
He met her gaze looking very concerned,"What if you get pregnant? We both are too young to become parents."
"Oh" She could not say anything else and stared towards the window, he was right they were too young for a child. And last night it was not just once, but they made love about three times before falling asleep.
"Harry?"
"Yeah ?" She gazed back at him.
He cupped her face and said, "If you get pregnant then I will marry you. "
She shook her head, "But we are underage Tom."
He smiled and said, "I know sweetheart and I don't care about it. I'll never let our child be called as bastard. "
She became silent. She knew that being called bastard was a very sensitive issue for him. She herself called him a bastard without thinking so many times. But when he opened up his heart about his life in orphanage, she realised her mistake and apologised. Her caring boyfriend just smiled on her apology and replied that it was not wrong to call him a bastard, as he actually was one.
She blinked and wrapped her arm around his waist. She won't let him worry about anything, he deserved every happiness world could provide.
About getting pregnant, she might become pregnant but that was not completely sure.
She kissed his chest and looked towards him.
"You know you are getting worried without any reason. I might not get pregnant."
His eyes were closed but he nodded, "Yes you're right."
She again put her head on his chest and closed her eyes, then smiled "I can hear your heartbeat."
He did not say anything but just wrapped his arm around her.
She kept on listening to his heartbeat and started thinking about herself getting pregnant. Suddenly a new picture popped up in her mind with her sitting with Tom at a beach with a small baby in her arm. She did not know why but she liked the picture she just imagined for her own family.
"Tom?"
"Hmm ?"
She gazed towards him and asked, "If its a boy then can I name him Harry Junior?"
He opened his eyes and met her gaze. Her serious expression made him laugh.
She just stared at him as he laughed, "What?"
"Harry junior .. oh merlin .. hahaha . .."
She frowned, "What's wrong with that name?"
He shook his head and said, "Have I told you how much I love you? I think I have. "
She tilted her head and asked, "So?"
Still chuckling, "So what?"
"The baby's name?"
He shook his head again, "No way. I will never name my son with a girl's name."
"But Harry is the boy's name. So our son can take this name."
"You realise that he will share this name with his mother? Everyone will laugh at him. Our son should be named after his father."
She raised her eyebrows, "So we should name him after you?"
He nodded with a serious expression. "Yes"
Shaking her head, she said, "But your complete name is Tom Marvolo Riddle Junior. "
He nodded, "Yes it is. "
She thought and said, "So that means our son will be called Tom Marvolo Riddle Extra Junior? "
He started laughing again."Extra Junior .. oh Merlin .. I just love you .. ha ha ha .. "
She frowned at him, "Don't laugh Tom. I am serious. "
Still chuckling he nodded and said, " Okay ... what I mean is that we will name him Marvolo."
Then he touched her cheek and said , "And if it's a girl then you can give her your name Harry Junior.." He started laughing again as he found that name really funny.
She scowled at him and sat up, making sure to cover her body with bed sheet as she was very upset with him.
He immediately pulled her back, "Don't go. I am sorry."
She started blushing, as she knew how difficult it was for him to apologise to anyone. As per him she was the only person he ever apologised. She pecked his lips lovingly.
He smiled then sighed, " You are amazing ."
After about half an hour of lying there and talking, both realised that it was getting late.
Harry stared at Tom as he picked up his clothes to put them on. "Tom ? Isn't there any spell to make sure I don't get pregnant when we.. you know.. "
She blushed beet red as she asked this.
He gazed back at her as she sat on her bed with sheet wrapped around her body. He smirked at her blush, she wanted more. " Don't feel embarrassed. Even I want it as bad as you... I should say more badly than you. I will look for the spell. "
He realised that he had to ask Salazar about that. He himself never bothered to check any spell related to love making. But Salazar had a whole collection if he remember.
Before leaving he kissed her again, "See you after lunch."
"Tom?"
He stopped and looked back at her.
"Do put on glamour." She said gazing towards few love bites visible on his neck, even with his scarf on.
He smirked, and shook his head, "I don't care. I love these marks, they remind me of you. " With that he climbed out of window after making sure no one was around the ground.
She kept on looking towards the windows, thinking about what he just said.
Around lunch time she climbed down to common room. As soon as she entered she felt deja vu when found Marcus sitting on the same chair where he was sitting yesterday. But something looked different as he was smirking at her.
She shook her head and moved towards the exit, when he said "I know your brother hates him."
She immediately stopped and looked back at him, " What are you talking about Barnes?"
She tried to act calm, but her heart was pounding like hammer.
He stood up and walked towards her, " I was looking for some book in the library few weeks back and I heard few very disturbing things your brother say about Riddle. And if I remember correctly he was talking to you."
He shook his head as he stopped in front of her, "He really hates him isn't it?"
"I don't know what you are talking about." She tried to leave but he blocked her way.
She frowned at him, "Move out of my way Barnes."
He scowled, "Or what? You will slap me. Okay go ahead. But I will tell your brother everything about your so called affair with that snake Riddle."
She gritted her teeth, and clenched her fist in anger, "What do you want Barnes? "
He chuckled and nodded, "Now we are talking."
He moved closer to her, she moved back to keep distance.
He stopped and gazed at her. " I want you. "
She looked at him, unable to understand him, "What?"
He kept at staring at her without blinking his eyes, "I want you to kiss me the way you kiss that Snake. I want you to look at me the way you look at him."
She shook her head, "Never. That will never happen. "
He started chuckling, "It will. I want a kiss from you before midnight tonight, else I will tell your brother everything about you and that snake. Then you can say goodbye to your relationship with him."
She kept on looking at him feeling very helpless, she loved Tom more than anything. She knew Sirius would break them apart. "Please Marcus. Don't do this. We used to be friends."
He shook his head, "The same friendship that you broke when you chose him over me. No Harry. This will be my way from now on. I love you. And you will love me back. A kiss on the lips, thats all I want to keep my lips sealed from telling anything to your brother."
She looked away from him. She would rather drink poison. But Tom ... losing him was worst than dying.
Marcus smirked, "Just think. You have few hours after all."
With that he left her standing there.
Harry did not go for lunch, instead she sat near the lake and kept on thinking.
She missed her meeting with Tom, as she thought he would catch her lie if she told him that she was okay. He would definitely kill Barnes if learnt anything about his blackmail. She rubbed her head and covered her face as she thought about Tom getting into trouble for killing Marcus.
Suddenly there was a popping noise she looked up and found Typsy standing there." Here you are miss. Master Riddle was getting worried and asked Typsy to look for you."
Harry smiled, " Tell him I am fine, just a bit tired. I'll meet him after dinner."
House elf nodded and popped away.
Harry sighed then stood up and walked back towards the castle.
Her mind was filled with so many things that she hardly noticed where she was going.
She looked ahead and stopped when found Marcus coming out of the Library. He smirked as soon as his eyes fell on her, she gritted her teeth at his smirk. She really wanted to teach him a lesson.
Suddenly she heard someone say ".. but Tom we could.. " She looked back and found Tom walking through the corridor surrounded by few of his fellow Slytherins. She gazed around that group and found Sirius walking right at the back next to Lestrange. She looked back at Marcus and found him to be staring at her. Then she stared back towards the Slytherin group with Tom and Sirius amongst them.
Taking a deep breath she made a decision. If she had to fight for Tom then she would till the end of time. It was love not a crime, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
She smiled, it was time to show everyone her Griffindor side.
With that she squared her shoulders and walked towards Tom. As if feeling her close he looked ahead and met her gaze, he frowned slightly as she walked towards him with that determined look.
She stopped in front of him and stared up at him, then said , "I also don't care what others think Tom ... I love you .. and haters can go to hell ." With that she grabbed his face and kissed him.
He too wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back. Harry poured all her feeling into that kiss and he responded passionately. Both were so lost in that kiss that they did not hear the cheers from Slytherins surrounding them, or cry of shock of Marcus. They gazed in each others eyes lovingly as they ended that kiss.
"Tom?"
Tom broke his eye contact with Harry and looked towards Lestrange with irritation.
Lestrange made an apologetical face and said, "I think it was too much of a surprise for her brother."
Harry immediately looked towards Sirius and covered her mouth when found that he actually fainted with shock.
