It's Called Chemistry

Draco just had to slam the door in shock. He stood beside the doorway for a full minute, quite speechless as he tried to digest exactly what he had seen.

"You all right there?" Tom asked lazily from his bed.

"Tom…" Draco gulped. "Harry Potter is standing just outside our room."

"I know." Dark crimson eyes traveled over the Potions textbook.

"But, Tom, it's one in the morning!"

"Yes, I know."

"And he's uh… naked."

Tom grinned, amused. "I know."

"You do? Well he's looking for you!" Draco's eyebrows were rising to his hairline.

Sighing, Tom stood and shook the blanket off him. "I guess I have to see him then."

Instantly, Draco shrieked, staring at him in shock. "What the- You're bloody naked too!"

"Me?" Tom looked down and blinked. "Do you have a problem with it?"

The blond shook his head silently, eyes wide as he merely watched Tom saunter from his bed to the door–fully comfortable with walking in his birthday suit.

Tom twisted the knob. "Oh, before I go, you better ask the house-elves to change your sheets. I think Blaise and Vincent got a little too excited after dinner." With one last grin at the stunned Draco, Tom got out and closed the door behind him.

Harry was tapping his foot impatiently. "So, did it work?"

"As far as I can tell. He was pretty surprised with the visuals." Reaching into the pocket of his robe, Tom handed Harry the vial half-filled with bright blue liquid. "I still think I should have tested it, myself."

"No way!" Harry exclaimed. "Who knew what the side effects could have been? I was pretty distracted during the last stages of the brewing. Anyway, I'm glad Draco agreed to test our See-Through potion project. I would have sworn he was the more cautious type. After all, this is highly experimental. How in the world did you get him to agree?"

Tom coughed and mumbled something about unimportant details, pumpkin juice, and accidental spilling before impulsively pulling Harry into the empty room next to his. "You know," he whispered seconds later. "I'm a bit envious of Draco." He pulled Harry closer, surprising the Gryffindor. "At least he got to see you naked tonight," he added meaningfully.

"I see." A smile played on Harry's lips as he stared back at Tom who was looking less and less innocent with each passing second. He played along for a while, laying his head on the other's shoulder before finally saying, "Would you like to see something interesting, Mr. Riddle?"

Tom didn't even look at the door as he waved his wand and set it swinging shut. "It would be my pleasure, Mr. Potter."
