Harry was writing in a parchment any idea that he had on how to tell Tom he was his mate. Up till now, Harry had dismissed every idea he had. In the table he was using, there were 5 or more cups of coffee. Harry screamed in frustration, threw his quill on the table and put his hands on his head. "Harry? What is wrong?" Hermione, who had just entered the room, said as she looked around. Harry's face brightened. "Hermione! Just the person I was looking for! I need your help!" Hermione sat down on a free chair and looked at Harry. "What do you need Harry?" Hermione said. "I found my mate and I need to tell him, but I can't think of any way to tell him!"

Hermione, seeing how desperate Harry was, smiled at him. "Don't worry Harry; I can help you figure out how to tell your mate, I just need you to tell me some information about them so that I can help you form a plan." Harry released a relieved breath and smiled as he started talking about his mate. "Well, my mate is a male and he is beautiful, not only on the inside but also on the outside. He is powerful, rich and he could have anyone he wants. He is so kind that he would even help an injured kitten. He is just perfect."

Hermione smiled as she saw the wistful smile on Harry's face. "Well love, it seems you are in love." Harry blushed at that. "I liked him even before I found out who my mate is." Harry admitted. "Well, if he is as kind as you say, why don't you just tell him?" Harry froze for a second. "That's it! Why did I keep trying to come up with plans when I can tell him in a simple conversation over dinner? Thank Mione, you're a life saver!" Harry stood up from his chair and after hugging his best friend, he left to plan the dinner.

It was six in the afternoon and dinner time when he had finished planning and he had managed to get everyone except him and Tom out of the house. Even the house elves were gone and it was Harry who had cooked dinner. Harry had just finished setting the table when Tom entered. "Harry? Where are the others?" Harry smiled at Tom and said: "The house elves needed their help to stock up the house so they left."

Tom looked at Harry and gulped nervously. Harry was dressed in tight leather black pants and a red tight shirt with black compact boots. Tom was almost salivating. "So, does that mean we are alone in the house?" Tom asked blushing at the thought.

"Yes. Is there a problem with it?" Harry asked, his green eyes shining mischievously. "No. There is no problem at all." Tom said gulping. Harry smiled at him and motioned him to sit down and eat.

As soon as Tom tasted the food, he moaned. "Who cooked this food? It's better than the house elves." Tom said making Harry blush. "Thank you." Harry said simply and Tom gaped at him. "You cooked this food?" Tom asked his voice filled with awe.

"Yes. Why?" "It's absolutely delicious!" Tom moaned and Harry smiled pleased. "Thank you." The two of them ate in silence when Tom asked: "Harry how is the search for your mate going?" Harry ate a few bites before answering. "Actually, I found my mate and I am just searching for ways to tell him." Harry said as he continued eating, noticing how Tom tensed. 'Harry already knows who his mate is? That means I won't have much time with him.' Tom tried to keep the worry out of his voice and face but Harry knew that Tom was worried for some reason.

"Oh? Is it someone I know?" Tom asked trying to sound nonchalant. "Yes. Actually you know him better than me." Harry said, trying to understand Tom's emotions. 'Who could it be? Lucious? Severus? Someone from my inner circle most likely, but who could it be?' "I wanted to ask by the way Tom, if you were the one who had a mate, how would you tell him?" Harry asked, trying to manipulate him into telling him what way he would appreciate the most.

Tom's heart tightened at the question but he answered honestly. "I would just tell him. If you tell them that they are your mate simply and without a complicated plan, I think they would appreciate it more." Harry set his cutleries down and looked Tom in the eyes. "Well then, here I go, Tom, you are my mate." Harry said his eyes showing just how worried he was that Tom would abandon him.

Tom's heart leaped out of his chest and as fast as he could, he stood up and made his way to Harry. Taking his face in his hands, Tom looked at Harry's eyes and said: "I don't know why you are afraid that I would reject you. I am so hopelessly in love with you that I was planning ways to kill your mate and bind you to me." Harry's eyes lit up and he hugged tom with all his might.

"Thank you. You don't know how much this means to me. I love you Tom, I wouldn't want another mate but you." Harry and Tom kissed and a bright light filled the room.

As the bright light faded, a beautiful woman with golden hair, green eyes and white skin appeared. "Who are you?" Tom asked, placing himself protectively in front of Harry. "You have no reason to fear me Tom. I am Harry's ancestors' goddess; Harry has completed the steps he has to complete in order to learn what he is." Tom relaxed his body but didn't move from his protective stance.

"What are those steps?" Tom asked his voice cautious. "They are very simple, really. Step one is to trust his friends with his secrets. Step two is to search information about his kind and his parents' kinds. Finally, the third step is to tell his mate and have him accept him. As he has completed all the steps, it's time to learn the name of his kind.

Harry, my sweet child, you are what we call a valkyrie, a being that can bear kids no matter their genre and that has one mate. For a valkyrie to be made the previous valkyrie has to die and what your parents did, has to be executed. You shouldn't be ashamed of your parents Harry, they were led by fate and destiny, and it wasn't their choice. Now, there is only one more thing before I leave. I have to return in three days in order to wed you. Your friends have to be your witnesses. You also have to invoke the justice spell. It will make everyone who has hurt you pay for it, whether they are alive or dead."

The goddess' words shocked them, but they were willing to comply. "I see you have accepted it. I have to go now. Good bye my child, good bye my child's mate." The goddess said and Tom and Harry whispered a goodbye as they watched her leave, shocked beyond belief about what had transpired. And now, they had to tell their friends. Oh joy. They could just imagine their reactions.
