Synopsis: Since FF's space is limited :)

Harry, on a night of celebration for his restaurant opening, ends up waking up the next day married to none other than Tom Riddle. He has no idea how it happened, but it did. Now, as much as he wants to break it off, it turns out that they had accomplished a bond marriage, and it can only be broken with a complete betrayal by one of them or death. Harry hates the idea of having no choice in his life partner- just as soon as he left one pair of chains, he got caught in another. Tom, on the other hand, is delighted at his new groom. They may have never had a real conversation before, but he won't let that deter him. After all, if Lady Magic herself allowed a magical bond to occur, they must have something together. So Tom decides to woo Harry and keep his cute reactions all for himself. - AU HP! Post Hogwarts years, SLASH! Fluffy, TomxHarry, Politican Tom and Whimsical Chef Harry who's restaurant menu is always changing. Tom is 31, Harry is 25. Voldie never happened- Tom decided last minute that horcruxes weakened his soul and magic. So he turned to politics.

Harry opened his eyes to feel his head pounding and the sunlight glaring. His eyes felt grimy and they stung, whether from the dryness or the drinks that he had last night, Harry wasn't sure. Maybe it was a combination of both. He reminded himself to never drink so badly again.

Harry rolled out from his usual fortress of plush pillows to see a dark pair of red eyes staring smugly at him. "What the bloody h-" Harry yelped, jumping out of his bed and landing on the cold, hard floor below.

Quickly, Harry felt his powers swell up to aid him. A quick glance told him that his wand was decidedly not with him, especially when he needed it now.

What did he just see? Was that who he thought it was? Harry sneaked a look and nearly groaned at his stupidity. On his king sized bed that he had splurged on, just like how he did for his bathroom, was one smirking and bastard of a Tom Marvolo Riddle.

The sunrise was just peaking through his bedroom windows, and it doused Tom in a amber glow that didn't help Harry's case at all. The same dark curly hair that was perfect even after waking up gave him a tousled look. The sharp nose, fair skin, and high cheekbones added to the look; But what really struck Harry as striking was what he had noticed since he had first laid eyes on the young politician: his blood red eyes. People say that he earned the sharp color after a messed up attempted at a ritual, but Harry never really cared about it. What he wondered about was the gaze in them… the same gaze that was now directed at him.

"Y-you! Riddle! Why are you in my house? Actually, why are you on my bed?" Harry shot out, amazed that his voice didn't stutter as much as he thought it would, ignoring how his shout hurt his own ears.

Then Harry noticed one more thing that he probably should have the moment he woke up. He was only wearing his badly buttoned white shirt with a thin pair of boxers. As for the other occupant of the room, Tom had only a blanket to cover everything up, as far as Harry could tell.

The smug look overcame Tom's face again as he drawled to Harry. "Why, of course I am. We, after all, are married now." Tom then raised his left hand to show a gleaming gold ring on his hand.

Harry's heart was pounding now as his face paled, his hangover not helping at all. He prayed that it was a joke or dream of some sort as he sharply glanced down to look at his own hand. But lo and behold, a smaller but similar pair of ring with an emerald was snug on his own ring finger. After that, Harry's mind couldn't work anymore, overloaded from everything, and all he remembered before blacking out was a worried Tom launching to grab Harry before he hit his head on the marble floor, cursing at Fate for his "gift".
