    Summary

    "Harry," Tom said slowly, "I didn't shut you out."

    "Yes, you did."

    "I focused."

    "That's not the same thing." Harry stopped moving, standing at the foot of the bed now, close enough to see the way Tom's chest rose and fell, slightly too fast.

    Tom leaned forward slightly, bracing an elbow on his knee, looking at Harry with infuriating intensity. The movement made him wince—just barely—and Harry's stomach clenched. "I needed clarity. The tasks demand it. If I let myself get distracted—"

    Harry's stomach dropped. "Distracted?"

    Tom didn't flinch. "Yes."

    Harry swallowed hard. "By what?"

    No answer.

    Harry's voice turned quiet, dangerous. "By me."

    Still nothing.

    Tom didn't deny it.

     

    Their post task argument left a silence heavier than any curse. Harry knows he’s lonely without Tom—but what does ‘them’ even mean?

    Summary

    A dark figure rises from the cauldron, shrouded in shadows–pale and wrinkled and sickly. Like a corpse, a malnourished, unfed monster with crazed red eyes.

    "𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘰𝘸"

    Touch. 𝘈 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳'𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩. That is what he needs. No man raised under a loving mother would ever turn into a monster. Voldemort was never coddled, held close to his dam’s bosom, never fed on her milk, did not soothe himself upon her nipple–

    Maybe that's why he was so hungry now. So angry, so crazed. An unfed infant will throw tantrums. Distantly, his scar pulsed. He stopped baring his fangs–why raise it at a hungry child ?

    Summary

    One essay gone horribly wrong. One misread phone number. One exasperated Slytherin who has to be perfect. One Gryffindor utterly captivated.

    Or, Harry accidentally receives a scathing essay critique clearly meant for someone else (right?) and now he can’t stop texting Tom Riddle.
