[Harry can’t catch a break, but atleast he caught a boyfriend.]

It might as well be one of the worst days of Harry’s life.

Dear Harry

Im afraid I cannot allow you to spend this Yule with your friends. I know that I have already said yes and gave my permission however, we didnt expect for one of Morgans friends to come over for Yule, and like Lily said, we need to make a good first impression especially since he will be staying with us the whole break.

As always, do good on your studies and always check up on Morgan or Rose.

Sincerely, your father

Harry felt betrayed. Why would his father even give his permission then? He huffed before put away his father letter.

“So, what did the letter say?” Barty asked. Harry’s silence said enough as Barty started cursing and tearing the parchment he was writing on apart. Barty had always  been a wild one, his actions uncontrollable and unpredictable. Perhaps thats why he  wasnt favored by his own father. “That little- Oh why cant he just let you spend Yule with me??” the boy whined, and Harry felt a laugh burst out of his mouth.

“Dont laugh at me! So what if i want to spend time with you. Youre my best friend as of late.” and then he threw a piece of garbage in Harry’s direction, who caught it rather easily. “Youre so childish Barty, I wonder why I ever put up with you!” The both of them giggled until a lady in the library shushed them, for some reason, neither of them could remember her name.

                                                —————————————————

It was time to go home for Yule and Barty still wasnt over it. Whining and even crying when they had to part ways, although the green eyed Ravenclaw pushed his friend away seeing the intense stare Barty’s father was giving them. Even He knew it would not bode well for Barty when he arrives home.

Harry searched for his family, and it didnt take too long to find them. “Mum, Dad.” he greeted. Their eyes snapped towards him as if they didnt even know he was there already. “Harry! How…have you been?” Lily’s smile looked a bit fake. When she fiddled with the sleeve of her jumper, Harry knew she was nervous. He guessed that it was because of Morgan’s friend coming over, and he was soon proven right when his mother spoke again. “Well, nevermind that. He might arrive soon so Harry, please dont misbehave.” He nearly rolled his eyes at her. “I think thats him! He’s wearing a Slytherin tie...” His father, James, now seemed a bit confused. As if he couldnt believe that Morgan had befriended a Slytherin.

“Hello Mr. and Mrs. Potter, its a pleasure to meet you.”

Harry blinked. Tom Riddle was in front of him.

Tom Riddle was Morgan’s friend, wasnt he? Harry himself had talked to Riddle quite a few times and all he can say was that, Tom Riddle seemed like a Narcisist. Though he was very charming, and a little annoying as well.

“Tom! Oh my Circe, you are such a fine young man.” Great. Trust his father to feed Riddle’s already inflated ego, it also looked like he’d gotten over the fact that Riddle was a Slytherin. “Well, I think your son is a beautiful young man as well.” Riddle smiled charmingly, and Harry swore he saw his mother swooning- “Harry, say hi to Tom. It seems like you two already know each other.” yep, she was totally swooning. He just waved at Riddle and said nothing.

As he scanned the train station and noticed that Morgan was nowhere to be seen, he asked, “Where’s Morgan? Shouldnt he be here already?” It seemed that Riddle had the answer to his question.

“Morgan said he would follow, he still has to take a test he missed after all.” His mother’s smile strained after hearing this. Harry however, was not surprised. leave it to Morgan to miss an important test right before something like this.

“Tom, are you comfortable apparating? You and Harry will have to apparate together since we’ll be spending Yule at the vacation house.” Worry clouded Lily’s eyes as she took hold of Rose, waiting for Riddle’s answer. “Of course, i dont mind Mrs. Potter.” again with that blasted smile. “No more with the Mrs. Potter, call me Lily!” “Call me James as well, Tom!” a sigh escaped Harry as he grabbed Riddle’s arm and prepared to apparate.

Harry really couldnt get a break could he?
