When Tom made his way to the Harvest Pond a bit late, he didn't expect to see Narcissa Malfoy there, uncharacteristically kneeling in reverence before the water's edge. He watched as she gently tossed in a flower, then pressed her palms together and murmured a small prayer.
She was surprised to see him, too. "Tom Riddle, yes?" she inquired softly.
He nodded. "Mrs. Malfoy," Tom greeted.
A small smile spread across her face as she turned back towards the pond. "I'm glad you believe," she whispered, "so few do, these days…"
Tom was left wondering what she meant by that.
Posted in its full form on Ao3, except for the sequel and the eventual epilogue :). I'll be posting 5 of these per a day (I think?), but because it's long that might become 10 a day.
