Disclaimer: No, I own nothing, really! (well, may be except the new name of old Voldemort/Tom Riddle...)

Happy Couple (?)

Harry Potter, an average boy you might meet on the street without really noticing who he was. Nice enough, except he had defeated the most evil Dark Lord of all ages at the age of one and could speak to snakes, there was nothing really very special about him. And, oh yeah, he was now the brother of the most famous Dark Wizard who was formally known as Voldemort/Tom M. Riddle/ He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named...

With the Potions homework in one hand and night as his ally to hid him, Harry Potter secretly knocked the door of the Office of the Defense Against Dark Arts's teacher.

"Professor Salamair...? Tom...! I need your help!!" Harry spoke as loudly as possible, he had his Potions homework to finish yet he didn't really have a clue on it, and Snape needed it to be handed in tomorrow... If you don't help me, it will be another 50 points from Gryffindor and they would kill me!!!

No reply.

"Tom...! Okay." I know you must be here. Harry Potter thought worrily. Tom never refused to see him, even when he was Voldemort, he would be just too happy to have Harry Potter around in order to kill him. Now what's the matter... So Harry decided to give it a try.

"Uh... Salazar Slytherin? No? So what would the password be... Thomas Slytherin Salamair? Nagini? Harry Potter? Still no? Death Eaters? Voldemort? Tom Riddle? What can it be! Last time it was still Harry Potter... Dumbledore? Severus Snape--?"

The door opened.

Harry Potter stared at the door with horror in his face. What is happening now? He recalled that once Tom told him he only used the name of the person he minded a lot as the door's password, and the name of Snape...

Well, he decided to reject the horrible image in his mind. Whatever it is, they are just friends, may be close friends and no more... though Harry secretly questioned himself who would want to become Snape's close friend. He walked into the Office and found out that the office was was as messy as it was when his last visited. It was quite clearly that Tom had never ever cared to clean his office. Probably as the Dark Lord he really had no need in cleaning anything personally before, so even as a teacher now he still didn't have the right mind to clean the room.

Harry walked past a mountain of books (Curses for Fun and Revenge by Lord Voldemort? Harry stared at the title of a certain book on the top of the book mountains really hard with amusement). And several burnt objects... Clearly Professor Salamair had finished with some kind of experiment. What could it be? Dark Arts??? Harry thought with a chilly feeling in his back. He turmed around, nearly crash into another mountain of books. Harry carefully composed himself again, and just managed not to scream out really loud when a raven's dead body fell onto him from nowhere.

"Masssster Harry?" But Harry was discovered by someone, or something, despite he had really carefully kept himself from making any sound.

"Nagini!" Harry hissed back. "Where is Tom?"

Nagini appeared behind another high mountain of books. "Young Masssster," Nagini hissed worrily. "Fellow me, I don't know how to wake my Masssster!" She quickly disappeared into a shadow, and Harry hurrily followed. "Nagini, what are you talking about? Waking Tom? What's the matter - "

"Stop!" Nagini screamed with horror, and Harry stopped immediately. Then he realized that he might have stepped on something in the dark if Nagini didn't stop him. He reached down, and his fingers touched something soft yet... cold. His heart stopped beating for 0.0001 second...

"Tom, what's going on!??? Incendio!" Harry really draw out his wand and lighted up something, which he simply didn't care what it was. The light lighted up the room, and Harry now stared at the body of Professor Salamair in silent horror. In the light, the pale face of Tom seemed to be much paler but looking much more lovier (can it be true? Harry thought eeriely to himself) than before. His wand was lying beside him with green light still sparking off from its tip. Could it be... No, it could not be! Harry screamed, "Tom, wake up!"

He knelt down, grabbed the older boy (or the young teacher, if you prefer) by the robe and hoisted him up into a half-sitting position and started slapping Tom hard across the cheek. "Damn you!" Harry felt his tears were fighting to come out. It takes so long for us to be on this friendly, and even family-term! "...if you kill another member of my family! Damn you!!" He steeled himself to repeat the blow, hoping that Tom didn't really perform the Avada Kedavra on himself as he thought. But those green lights... Harry forced himself not to think about the worst. "Wake up, Tom!" Nagini stayed aside, hissing really quickly and worrily, "Massster Harry, how issss my Massssster???"

Suddenly Tom reacted a little bit. Harry stopped his slapping in surprise. "Tom? Tom! What had happened?"

Without answering Harry nor opening his eyes, Tom's mouth chuckled softly, "This time, I would not let you have me... (his voice reduced largely there so Harry could not hear the last of the sentence) Severus..." he whispered as if nobody would hear him. Harry dropped Tom back to the floor in sheer horror...

"Aaaaaahhhhhhhh~~~~~~~~~!!!!"

................................

On the next day, Harry went to Snape's class with a pale face and no homework to be handed in. He had escaped from Professor Salamair's Office after his whole-heartedly terrified screaming, and could not finish his homework for he was too troubled by Tom's word. No, it is not possible. I must have misheard Tom... Tom does have a taste, doesn't he? Or... if he really doesn't...? "Oh noooooo!!!!" Harry Potter screamed in horror.

"Potter, a detention and 150 points from Gryffindor! No, make it 200 points and 3 detentions for you have not handed in your homework also!!! And go back to your potions-making!!!!!" Snape shouted, though he never looked up from the book he was reading. Harry swore quietly while the Slytherins laughed at him loudly (especially that Draco...! Harry thought angrily and decided to plot a revenge) and the Gryffindors threw daggers to him with their eyes. Harry secretly stared at Snape while cursing under his breath, wondering what would make him attractive to Tom... but found nothing, of course. Then he found out that Snape was reading Curses for Fun and Revenge by Lord Voldemort. And there were another three books lying on the desk, and one with the title of How to make a Love Spell...

"This time you won't escape me, Dear Thomasina Salamair..." Silently, Snape's thin lips curved into a hearty smile. Harry covered his mouth in horror, he felt he was going to vomit...

................................

After the dinner, Harry stole his way to the Headmaster's Office.

"Professor Dumbledore!" Harry ran inside (he had really no difficulties in finding out the password after some many "practices") and found Dumbledore standing beside the window looking a little bit worry.

"Harry, glad to see you are here." Dumbledore said, while eyeing something outside the window. Harry walked to him and followed his sight, and found what that what Dumbledore was watching was Tom. Tom was picking flowers on a grassland somewhere near the Forbidde Forest. (Oh no I know it is impossible for Tom Riddle or Voldemort to picks flowers but...) "Is there something wrong, Headmaster?"

"Nothing really, just hope that it will turn out fine. I mean, Severus and him..."

"So there is something between them!" Harry nearly screamed out loud.

"Yes, something. And let's hope it is good for them both." Dumbledore sighed. "But who know what would happen when a former Dark Lord and a former Death Eater... Oops, I am not supposed to say anything about it. I'm sorry, Harry. But you will know about this tomorrow..."

................................

Next day before the breakfast, Dumbledore made an announcement, "Professor Snape and Professor Salamair would like to share something to you..."

The students gasped as the young and handsome DADA teacher appeared in his dark green and silver dress robe, while the long-haired Potions Master also dressed in a dark green and silver dress robe (though were of different designs).

"Do you notice? They dressed as if they are a couple!" Ron said before Hermione was abled to stop him with a hit on his arm. "Are you out of your mind? Professor Salamair is Harry's brother! He cannot have no taste at all! May be this is a Slytherin show? All dressed in Slytherin colours..."

Harry simply didn't answer... He was too shocked.

"Do enjoy!" Dumbledore could not wait to finish then turned and walked back to the teachers' table as if he had not desire to witness whatever was going to happen soon.

Snape took a step foreward. "Morning, today we are going to announce something. Salamair?"

Tom blushed, and hissed angrily into Snape's ears.

"Why! I am the head of Slytherin, of course I am wearing these colours. And let's say you also have a good reason to wear these colours with me too, haven't you? By the way, what are you afraid of, Salamair? Don't be so shy! Come on!" Snape actually grasping Tom's hand, pulling him to the stage, and Tom blushed again. "No! Don't force me to do this, Severus!"

Harry suddenly realized. It must have to do with the How to make a Love Spell on Snape's desk! He realized. Or he seduced Tom...? What are they going to announce then? Wedding!!!? "No! What are you doing?" Harry gasped quietly, he knew he would go to his brother's rescue if he was needed and his wand was in his hand already...

"Okay, if Thomasina... No, sorry it is still Thomas yet. And if you are not going to announce this, I would do it." Snape's lip curved into an evil smile, as Tom staring him in sheer horror. "I would like to invite you all to our..."

~The End of Chapter Two~
