Harry stared at the Slytherin ring he had found in the room of lost things, it had been chipped and broken but he fixed it with just a few spells. It was made of pure titanium which surprised Harry because it had been damaged...someone must of done some serious magic. It had the Slytherin crest carved into the metal and was surrounded by emeralds. He placed it in a box and wore a note before placing it on Tom's bed. He knew it was something that Tom would like and was a good way to say sorry. It had been two days since Harry had met Tom in the room of requirement and Hermione had yelled at him for what he had said to Tom, she had said it was uncalled for, that just because the Tom in future had done horrible things doesn't mean that the Tom of this time was a complete ass.

Harry didn't quite agree with Hermione, while he didn't think Tom was as bad as the one in the future he still thought he was an ass, he walked around the castle like he owned the place, Harry completely ignoring the fact that as Slytherin's heir he pretty much did. Harry walked back over to his bed grabbing a book and closing the curtains. He sighed as he opened the first page and begun his potions homework. Despite the fact that Slughorn absolutely loved Harry, didn't get him out of doing any work.

He was about halfway through when he heard footsteps enter the room,meh couldn't tell who it was because of the curtains, so he stayed quiet and hoped it wasn't Tom. Harry didn't want to be here when Tom discovered the ring, he knew Tom was on prefect rounds right now and shouldn't be back for another few hours.

Of course this time luck was not on his side because it was in fact Tom he had managed to convince another prefect to do the rest of his rounds today. Harry listened as Tom opened the box, he cringed when he realised it was Tom who had entered the room. He heard Tom gasp, Harry was as silent as possible he hoped Tom would think that Harry wasn't there but he knew Tom would check. As if Tom had read his mind, he heard Tom walk over to his bed and opening the curtains. His face was full of confusion as he looked at Harry.

"Where did you find this?"

Harry shrugged "I was in the room of lost things when I came by it, I fixed it up,I have no use for it and you should have it with you being his heir and all."

Tom nodded "thank you."

"It's not a problem it's not like it was any trouble."

Tom smirked "I'll accept your apology on one condition."

Harry's eyes widened "what the ring wasn't enough?"

Tom laughed "sure for most people.. But I'm not most people!"

"What do you want, do you want to put me under crucio for a couple of minutes?"

Tom shook his head "nothing like that."

Harry stared at Tom for a few minutes before nodded his head. "Fine what is it?"

Tom rose his eyebrows "you'll accept just like that?"

Harry nodded "Hermione will have my head if I don't, now what is it I have to do?"

Tom smirked "I think I might grow to like this friend of yours."

Harry rolled his eyes "just spill it before I change my mind Tom."

"Come on a date with me." Tom smirked.

Harry's eyes widened "what?"

He chuckled "you heard me, do that and I'll forgive you."

"Why?"

"So I can I prove you wrong, prove to you that people like me and you belong together."

Harry sat there in shock for a while until Tom waved his hand in front of his face.

"So this Saturday then?" Tom smirked.

"Fine but if you try anything!"

To put his hand up "I swear!"

Harry's eyes narrowed I don't really believe you."

Tom chuckled and walked away closing the curtains behind him.

Saturday came to quickly in Harry's point of view, he thought about cancelling on Tom about a hundred times, but he knew Hermione would kill him if he cancelled, she was so excited when he told her about the date, she squealed and jumped up and down before demanding that he give her every single detail afterward, after Harry promised she got planning on what he was going to wear. There was also the fact that Tom wouldn't take no for an answer and sooner or later he would end up in the same situation he was in now, so he decided to just get it over with.

Hermione had chosen black skinny jeans to which he protested but she demanded he wore them stating that they were made for Harry's figure. She had also chosen a dark green shirt to complement his eyes. Of course they didn't have much of a wardrobe to work with considering they only had what the headmaster had given them. He put on his black converse and looked in the mirror.

"You don't think I look like I'm trying to impress him do I?"

Hermione shook her head "no, considering most of your wardrobe consists of jeans and plain shirts, these are just the nicer choice considering the rest."

She then combed his hair before running her fingers in it. Grinning as she looked at what she had achieved.

He groaned "what was the point of that?"

"Oh shush you, it gives you the just shagged look." She slapped his arm lightly.

"Why would I ever want that?" His eyes widened

She smiled "it makes you look irresistible." She stated it like it was a fact.

"But Mione I don't want to look irresistible." Harry groaned

"Yes you do, you just don't know it yet" she then pushed Harry toward the door "now go before your late, don't want to keep your man waiting."

"He is not my man" he grumbled

Hermione continued to push him out the door "keep telling yourself that Harry"

Harry met Tom in the entrance hall. Tom was wearing a white button up shirt with black slacks, it was so close to the uniform but yet so different, it complemented Tom all the right places and brought some light to his dark chocolate brown eyes. He smiled at Harry as he got closer and Harry couldn't help but notice it was a genuine smile and not the smiles he gives everyone else, the smile gave Harry butterflies in his stomach to which Harry tried his best to ignore.

Once he got close enough he smiled shyly at Tom before asking where they going to which had just answered with a grin before grabbing Harry's hand and leading the way into Hogsmeade. The continued to walk down the ling street in silence, Harry watched as everybody stared at them and whispered to the closest people. Harry groaned he always had to be in the spotlight no matter how much he tried to avoid it. Tom continued to lead Harry to end of the street Harry looked at Tom confused when he realised they were walking the way to the shrieking shack. Once they arrived at the house he was shocked, it didn't look as worn down as he remembered and it was a whole lot less scary looking, that was when Harry remembered that people didn't start to think the house was haunted until Remus attended school.

Tom led them up inside the house, they walked up the stairs and when they reached the dinning room Harry was speechless. Tom lit the room up within candles, which gave the room a golden glow. Tom's features flickered with the candles and Harry found himself staring at him. Watching as the light gave Tom's eyes a caramel look. Tom smirked when he noticed Harry's staring, Harry blushed and pulled his eyes away from Tom. Harry looked at the table and saw all his favourite deserts; treacle tart, chocolate covered strawberries, vanilla ice cream, chocolate mouse and rocky road chocolate.

"How did you know that these are my favourites?"

"I observe." Tom stated.

Harry nodded "do you like anything here, or is this just for me?"

Tom smirked " I'm quite fond of rocky road and vanilla ice cream, I also love cake"

Harry shook his head "lord Voldemort loves cake, who knew?"

"Harry I know the future me has does some hateful things and would kill you in a heartbeat... But I'm not him, I haven't don't the things future me has, true I still can but that doesn't mean I will."

Harry looked at him confused "why wouldn't you?"

Tom smirked "you won't let me, with you by my side, you can stop me from going too far by becoming the insane monster that you know."

Harry rolled his eyes "I've already told you, I'm not joining you."

Tom grabbed Harry's hands "don't join me, let's work together side by side."

"You don't listen to anyone."

Tom stroked Harry's face, where he touched a electric current ran through him causing him to shiver.

"You feel it too, I can't seem to let you be, your the kind of person who is worthy to be my equal, we can rule together, I don't know what it is but something draws me to you and what I want I eventually get"

Harry took a step backwards but Tom followed him they continued until Tom had Harry against the wall once again, it looked like it was going to become a habit.

"What's the matter Harry, do I make you feel uncomfortable" Harry tried to speak but all that came out were rasping breaths as Tom once again nibbled Harry ear. "Tell me to stop and I will" he started to place kisses down Harry's neck, despite the fact that Harry's mind was screaming stop, his body reacted by tilting his neck to the side to give the man better access. A groan escaped as Tom sucked on the sensitive part of his neck lightly. The next thing Harry knew Tom claimed Harry's lips with his own. Harry gasped which Tom talk as an invitation as Tom's tongue explored Harry's mouth. Tom groaned when Harry nibbled on his lower lip in between kisses. Harry's hand found his way into Tom's hair and Tom smiled into the kiss, Harry pulled on the hair slightly causing Tom to moan again. The kiss became more fierce and urgent as if they needed each other to live. Harry lost himself in the kiss, his legs growing weak, he would have fell to the floor if it wasn't for the fact that Tom was holding him up. Harry pulled Tom closer and one of Tom's hands framed his face and the other held him close. Harry was the one to push Tom away slightly.

"We shouldn't have done that."

Tom rose his eyebrow "and why not? I found the experience quite enjoyable and I know by your reactions that you thought the same."

Harry shook his head "are you going to feed me or not?"

Tom grabbed a fork and grabbed a bit of treacle tart. "Open up"

"I didn't mean it literally" Harry exclaimed

Tom smiled "oh well"

He shoved the forkful of treacle tart into Harry's mouth. "You better get used to it, I don't plan to let you go"

The date went with Tom feeding Harry the various foods he had provided, he started to tell Harry of his past even though he was aware Harry knew most of it, he thought it would be fair to reveal his past to Harry considering the boy was being made to share his. Tom didn't usually play fair but he knew if he wanted the emerald eyed teen to be by his side, it was a necessity. Harry was shocked to realise that Tom and his past was very similar, the only difference was their time at Hogwarts. Tom told Harry the manipulations Albus had out him through the years and Harry realised that Albus was a biased old fool who hated Slytherin's because of their ancestors.

It also got Harry thinking about the Dumbledore he knew, he always let Harry get Harry into dangerous situations also in a way guiding him into these situations. Always making sure that Harry had just the right amount of information to survive, he sent the one person that shared his values to save Harry from the Dursley's knowing that Harry would believe everything that Hagrid said because harry would trust him.

After Tom revealed some of his past they moved on to much lighter topics Harry spoke of all the times he played Quidditch and all the moves he could pull off he did have to explain some of the recent moves but Tom seemed really interested, Tom loved Quidditch he just didn't play the sport because it was the one thing he sucked at, he was a great flyer but he just couldn't play the sport Harry had laughed at this, he was glad that he had found something Tom couldn't do. They both spoke about their hate for Slughorn and the slug club that a man like Slughorn shouldn't be teaching, because all that man cared about was social standing and not teaching, clearly showing favouritism when it came to certain students.

Tom to Harry to the Honeydukes and brought him a whole lot of sweets, Harry asked him where he got the money from he found out that Tom worked for a muggle convince store during the holidays to get away from the orphanage, he transferred them into gallons before the start if term and the school paid for his schooling because he had no one else to pay for them. He also told Harry that he had access to his ancestors vaults when he turned seventeen but he had trust vaults he could use but the school had no idea. Harry accused Tom of trying to make him fat once the walked out of Honeydukes with two bags food of different assortment of candy.

Tom took Harry to the library in Hogsmeade that was ten times the one at Hogwarts, Harry never knew about this library because it was down one of the side streets not many people knew about, he vowed to show Hermione because he knew she would be in heaven there. Tom had told Harry that this was how he got all the books about the dark arts and other information that was in the restrictedly, it was sorted stupid but this library didn't have a restricted section because not enough people used the library. Harry laughed at this, people could be really stupid, they were practically handing the information to becoming a dark lord to anyone who entered.

It was some sort of anniversary, and there was music and fireworks that night which Tom had got great spot to watch from. He also forced Harry to dance despite his protest Harry managed to only stand on his feet twice and Tom managed to get another kiss from Harry. As they walked back to Hogwarts quickly as to not miss the curfew Tom held Harry close as the neared the castle not wanting to let Harry go. Tom smiled the whole way knowing he was one step closer to what he wanted, it was just a matter of time until Harry gave into his feelings.
