Standard disclaimer applies: I do not own Harry Potter or any brand you recognize in this story. J.K. Rowling is credited with the creation of these characters (I'm not fond of using OCs in my own fanfiction). I also do not own the Harvest Moon series by Natsume.
Soon enough, winter had ended and spring returned. The first thing Tom did was go see the surly doctor of the town, Severus Snape, who he came to know quite well during his sickness, and give him some winter herbs he had collected from a place on the mountain.
Then he headed straight off to the beach where the merchant Barty Crouch lived. Barty had tried to swindle him upon their first meeting, but Tom had an instinct for handling money and what many did not know was that he had been taught well in the art of swindling himself.
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.
