Work Text:

Tom smirked as he snagged the last chocolate frog from the veritable trove of candy Harry had smuggled him. He didn't even like them — just wanted to beat the other boy to it. His glee was interrupted by Harry's exaggerated sigh.

“So this girl-”

Tom immediately scoffed.

“Not like that!” Harry grouched. “Ron's sister, Ginny. Remember her?”

“Unfortunately.”

“Well, she sent a singing cupid to me-”

“What did it say?” Tom interrupted, chuckling at Harry's aggravated expression. “I imagine it must have been glorious.”

“She compared my eyes to a freshly pickled toad.”

Tom cackled. “No truer love than that.”
