Tom watched Harry’s growing lunacy with amusement, though he was fairly distracted with his own responsibilities. Being Head Boy was much more work than he’d expected. The fifth year Gryffindor prefects were causing problems, constantly fighting each other, favouring their friends, and taking points from their enemies. They were on the verge of being replaced, but before Dumbledore, the Gryffindor head of house, took that drastic step, the Head Boy and Girl were recruited to mentor the troublemakers. Not only was the mentoring quite time consuming, but it also put Tom more squarely in Dumbledore’s sightlines, something he was wroth over. Harry, who still didn’t know what to think about Dumbledore in this timeline and thus had continued avoiding him, could only sympathize.
