A/N I know that Valentine's Day is over, but couldn't help myself. This is the last one I promise. If you want you can pop over and follow me on Tumblr Slytherinroses
Tom surveyed the room pleased with his handiwork. Bellatrix stood along side him sniggering. The Slytherin fixed her with a hard stare, not that it did much good, it was a well known fact that she marched to the beat of her own drum.
'I much preferred my idea' she murmured ignoring the glower from her housemate 'this is sickening'
'Your opinion doesn't count Bella so there's no problem' Tom remarked glancing around the room again to see if anything needed to be added.
'Must be desperate to get into potty's pants if you've gone to all this trouble' she snickered
'Don't be vulgar Bella' Tom said distastefully 'it's very off putting'
Bella snorted in discontent and examined her nails. Tom ignored her and continued on with his task. 'Perfect' he said more to himself than anyone.
'Thought you didn't care about useless romantic holidays' Bella piped up
'Harry makes me want to care' Tom muttered
Bellatrix made a gagging noise, Tom turned and stared her down, still she remained steadfast. 'I hope he's a good shag' she crooned before walking casually towards the door.
'Stupid bint' Tom muttered and walking over to the sofa he had transfigured he sat down to wait for Harry.
He'd read the note over and over again and still didn't understand why Tom wanted him to come to the room of requirement, not that he was complaining any alone time with Tom was welcome.
The truth of it was Harry hadn't expected to see Tom tonight, he knew how the Slytherin felt about Valentine's Day and Harry respected this.
That morning as Harry was going down to breakfast Tom had pulled him into an alcove and kissed him senseless, then they had walked to the great hall together. Those moments has stirred something in Harry that was getting harder and harder to ignore, something he hadn't known existed until he met Tom Riddle.
A door materialised in front of him as he neared the Room of Requirement, closing his eyes Harry pictured Tom on the other side and those doors opened. Harry walked into the heart of the room and found Tom sitting on a sofa, legs elegantly crossed at the ankles, eyes twinkling in the light of the candles.
'Hello' Harry said carefully coming to sit on the sofa beside Tom
'Hello' Tom smiled kissing Harry gently on the cheek 'you got my note'
'I did' Harry nodded 'was a little surprised to get it though, didn't think I'd see you tonight'
'Plans changed' Tom said simply 'did you not want to see me?'
'I always want to see you' Harry grinned patting Toms hand 'it was just a surprise is all, knowing as I do about how you feel about Valentine's Day and I can't help but notice how very romantic this room looks'
'I had a change of heart' Tom said breathily 'there's a certain person in this castle who makes me want to care about such things'
'Really?' Harry quirked a brow 'best tell me who they are so I can hex certain parts of their anatomy to far off places'
'Later' Tom purred 'we have some celebrating to do first'
'I like the sound of that' Harry whispered leaning in and letting Toms mouth consume his.
