Tom attended the day's New Years festivities to be polite, even though the only thing he really wanted to do was spend it with Harry—a point that his two older friends constantly hinted at to tease him. Rodolphus was also leaving tomorrow, so the party served as a double, representing his farewell party as well.
The Lestrange stared calculatingly at his new friend. "I hope I helped in your endeavor," he said, seeming to know that Tom would leave the festival in a moment.
"You did," Tom confirmed. "You have my thanks."
Rodolphus nodded. "Good luck."
"I'll need it."
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.
