"You want to... what?" Harry asked, frowning.
He and Tom were sitting in the diary's room, so no one could overhear them. Tom looked uncharacteristically worried and firm.
"I want to teach you Dark magic," Tom repeated. "Some idiot wants to hurt you, and I'll be d***** if I let anyone hurt you."
A mixture of a blush and a smirk appeared on Harry's face. "I don't mind learning Dark magic," Harry shrugged. "As long as I get something in return." His smirk grew.
"Uh. Like what?" Tom asked cautiously.
"We've been boyfriends for almost two years and we haven't gone on a date yet," Harry said bluntly. "I know it's because you've been stuck in your diary, but I want to go on dates. So every lesson you give me, we go on a date."
Tom was blushing. "Erm. Okay. Where are we going to go?"
Harry grinned. "Oh... I'll come up with something."
The look on his face told Tom he already had come up with something, and that Tom would not like it.
"What are we doing first?" Harry asked sweetly.
Tom's face was as red as a tomato at this point.

"So... what exactly are we supposed to do with this?" Draco asked as he frowned at the paper.
Harry rolled his eyes. "I'll explain after I introduce our new members."
"How come your name is Anguis?" Sirius asked curiously.
"One of my Animagus forms is a black Anaconda," Harry shrugged. "Anyway..." He was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Name?"
There was an irritated sigh. "Prince, also known as... Snarl." Severus sounded incredibly irritated, and someone outside the door laughed.
"Shere Khan, also known as Stripes," came Regulus' amused voice.
"Blackbeard, also known as Tarzan."
"Redbeard, also known as Bandit."
"Is there anyone else with you?" Harry asked.
"Venom, also known as Strike," Blaise said with a sigh.
"Shadow will arrive in ten minutes," Severus said stiffly.
"Enter."
The door opened. Severus, Regulus, Blaise, Dean, and Seamus entered. The older couple sat down on the couch next to Remus, who put a hand on Sirius' shoulder to keep from growling at Severus. Blaise, Dean, and Seamus sat down on the floor between Neville and Luna.
"Shall we begin?" Harry asked lazily. "First, any questions about this paper?"
"Why do we each have two code names?" Draco drawled.
