Summary
It was already an open secret among colleagues that Tom cared about the Potter boy. Given the obvious situation, this was well-understood and respected by all, as no one else dared to face the facts and step up. The Dursleys were wealthy and had great influence in the town, not to mention their generous donations to the school, which didn’t make it any easier to deal with the matter. The system, once again, had failed.
Tom was aware that he had long gone beyond what was considered permissible.

Summary
A transitional episode between Not With Haste and its sequel Slip Away.
In a secluded corner of the countryside where meadows met the sky and time stood still, Tom had a quaint cottage. It might have belonged to his grandfather or uncle once, at least so he'd been told, but he had never bothered to untangle the threads. It was an old structure, its stones weathered by time and draped in ivy.
This had been their refuge in the past weeks, where Tom had taken Harry for the last stretch of summer.
