Summary
'I'm going to marry you.' Tom says loudly.
Harry turns his head looks at him blankly, the snow crunched from under his head. And then, his face transforms into one of the softest smiles Tom had ever seen- he thinks that maybe Harry was an angel sent from Heaven, his salvation. 'Okay, Tom.' he says easily, his raven black hair was decorated with big, fluffy snowflakes, his nose and cheeks pink from the chill of the air.
'I mean it, Harry.' Tom says, 'I'm going to marry you when we're older.' he's telling the truth, shoulders knocking into Harry's gently. He continues, ranting off his thoughts, 'We'll grow up together, and then one day, I'll propose to you-' he looks Harry in the eye, '-and you'll say yes.'
'And then, we can be best friends forever!' Harry chirps up happily, a bright grin on his face. His eyes sparkle beautifully, Tom laces his fingers with Harry's.
Tom hums, still not moving his gaze away from the other boy, his expression thoughtful. 'Yes, we will.' he agrees.

Summary
What he didn't notice, was the way he seemed to be inching closer and closer to Harry, until they were pressed up against each other, elbows and shoulders touching the other. Harry casts him a questionable look, Tom looks at him a bit more.
A bit more..
And oh.
It's only then that he realizes how close to Harry's face he was, centimeters apart from each other, at the back of the classroom. Their proximity sent a jolt through both of them, the air thickening with an unspoken tension. Unwillingly, his eyes trailed towards Harry's lips. Pink and parted, a flush creeping up from his neck to his cheeks. His eyes were wide, a seawater green that Tom could drink.
'Tom?' Harry whispered under his breath,
'Yes?' Tom murmured, their foreheads touching.
And then, he notices that Harry smelt like..
Oh.

Summary
'Oh.. my.. god!' the girl with two sets of braids gasped quietly, the friend in front of her tilt their head with confusion.
'What is it, Emily?'
Emily grabs her friend by the shoulders, pulling them in so she can discreetly whisper in their ear. She points to the door, 'Did you see who just walked in?'
The Ravenclaw narrows her eyes, trying to follow the pointing finger before her jaw drops open. She turns to her friend who had the same shocked expression, 'Oh my god.' she repeats. 'That's Potter.'
That was when another girl had walked in, she had a yellow tie, an obvious Hufflepuff. Dark black hair and hazel brown eyes, her hair was in a high ponytail that trailed all the way down to the middle of her back. Her eyes swept across the room before landing on someone and making her way over to them.
Time seemed to slow down as she walked towards him, an anxious smile on his face.
The two girls looked at each other.
'Oh. My. God.'
'Riddle's going to start a riot.'
(In which Harry goes on a blind date with someone else, and Tom hears about it.)

Summary
'Look, Tom.. it's.. it's a mistletoe..' Harry raises a weak finger above them. And sure enough, it was there, dangling a few feet low from the ceiling. He hiccups, covering his mouth and giggling.
'Well.. you know what they do.. under the mistletoe right?' Tom grins mischievously, though it was uncharacteristically much less sharper than his usual grin. It felt softer, somehow.
'Obviously. Pucker up, Tom!' Harry laughs, throwing his head back with as he continues to giggle. He wipes a few tears from his eyes, 'Hahh.. I'm just kidding.'
'Oh?' Tom smiles, raising an eyebrow. 'You.. were, were you..'
'Y-yeah..' Harry hiccups again, 'I don't think.. you- err.. fancy snogging me right now, do you?'
'Maybe I do.'
In which Tom tries to be more straightforward about his feelings, and causes Harry to spiral into deep denial.
