A/N: I really dislike the ending of this fic, but I spent almost two months sitting on it and getting nowhere before admitting this was the ending everyone's getting. Sorry/not sorry, I guess?

Summary: A chance meeting between a Hogwarts student and the Minister for Magic spirals into a love story that the tabloids adore, while those involved are just trying to figure out how they actually fit together.

A/N: This universe is based on a vague idea for a universe for a potential future fic in my Like a Ghost in My Town series. *uncrosses eyes* Basically, Tom went the legal route up the ladder of power, rather than becoming a dark lord, and Harry is raised by Severus and Lily. (James is out of the picture.)

PoV switches back and forth between Harry and Tom between sections.
