The Next Morning at 7:00am
"Does your mother normally allow you to leave the house whenever you feel like it?"
"Um…" I suppose I should've asked mum if he was an early riser. "She doesn't know that I was out."
"Ah I see. Come take a seat."
I move to sit down in the newly decorated dining room. Mum had gotten some oak chairs. "But you do…" I hope that he won't tell mum, she'd take my head off for sure.
"Yes I do. Where were you?"
"I was outside."
"…"
Gulp. That look was pure steel, just like the one that Scroogay gives me, the old bat. "Just checking up on my friends."
"Your friends are up this early?"
"I was um, they are, not human."
"I see. Fruit?"
"I-excuse me?"
"Fruit, would you like some fruit to eat?"
"Sure."
"Trixi."
POP!
"Bring some fruit and, would you like anything else?"
"Um possibly some bacon and eggs, if there are some in the kitchen."
"Rights aways Master ands youngs Master wishes Trixi to brings fruit, bacons and eggs theys dos."
POP!
"Where were we?"
"Um my friends sir."
"Ah yes, your friends, they're not human would you care to explain further? Not all animals are friendly towards humans."
"I know that." Everyone knows that not all animals are friendly towards humans, I'm not an idiot.
"Of course you do."
"I…"
POP!
"Trixi's has broughts Master and youngs Master breakfast."
"Thank you Trixi. They-my friends are snakes. And I know that they're dangerous and that mum would not approve of it and-and I know that she would be very upset with me if she knew that I was sneaking out in the morning to visit them but it's cold out and I just wanted to make sure they were ok and I-"
"Your secret is safe with me."
"I-Really?" That was completely unexpected. "You-you're not going to tell mum on me?"
"Of course, not, why should I?"
"Well I-because…" Because grown ups always tell each other what they learn about kids, and kids always get in trouble that's why.
"Perhaps you can introduce me to your friends?"
I don't know. He doesn't seem like he really likes me, I wouldn't want to see how I interact with them, he'd never believe that I understand them. Probably think I'm crazy and tell mum to ship me off or something. "Well I-"
"If you feel comfortable with that idea of course."
"Um ok..." Mum always said that he liked snakes perhaps this is something we have in common.
"How is your breakfast?"
"It is good, much better than the schools. I mean uh…"
"Very good. Perhaps you can tell me more about this boy you're having trouble with, what was his name again?"
"Oh no it's ok. I'm sure it'll get better, really I-"
"I am curious about it, why not indulge me?"
Something in the way he spoke made me feel goose bumps rise up on my skin. Looking down at my food I thought about if I really wanted to tell him, I didn't even know him, he is a stranger to me, regardless of our relation. "Um I'd rather not if it's all the same, maybe I can tell you about my classes if you'd like." He just looked at me, a funny look flashed across his face and his eyes got cold for a minute but then it dissipated and he made a small smile, yet it didn't reach his eyes.
"If that is more comfortable for you then by all means tell me of your classes."
"I-"
"Of course, sooner or later we shall speak about your problems in school, understood?"
"Yes."
"Yes what?"
"Sir? Yes sir."
"Very good. Now, tell me about your classes."
"Um ok… I'm taking arithmetic, which is really boring, well my professor is boring, he drones on and on about everything, it's all very easy. Let's see I am in flying, which is ok, I'd rather be doing something more studious but it isn't challenging. I'm taking history of magic, again, a boring professor but it's informational so I suppose I can't complain too much, then there's transfiguration, that's a lot of fun, my professor makes the class fun, but I don't like my partner, he makes me do all the work and takes the credit for it-I suppose that will hurt him in the long run, not me. Uh what else, oh my favorite is potions. It is so much fun learning about all of the potions and how to mix ingredients and what I'll get if I do this or if I do that, but we're only allowed to do potions in class which sucks but I understand, it's a matter of safety. I hope that mum will get me a potion kit for Christmas, that'd be wicked."
"Well that is quite a load and your mother says you're doing well in your classes. That is good. Very good."
"Yes, I'm number one in my class sir." That should show stupid Khristo and his family what's what. "
"Yes, well just be sure that you stay there, both your mother and myself were the top of our classes, it is good to hear that you have started our the same as us."
He fell silent and watched me eat, his eyes following my movements and just watching me, I could feel him and I tried not to fidget but it was weird having someone watch me while I ate-let alone someone that was only watching me and not saying anything. I didn't know what he was thinking because his face was like a wall of ice, at least he was wearing a shirt this time. "So are you going to be staying or are you going to leave again?" While his presence bothered me because he took mum away it was kind of nice having my father back. Strange, being able to say that and not scoff at the idea of it.
"My work makes me travel."
"Oh…" I suppose I was a little disappointed with that but I kicked myself for that feeling, why should I be surprised, it's not as though he really seems that interested in me other than knowing basic facts and he doesn't really seem like the "fatherly" type. I guess I should just be happy that he's around or-or well happy that his return has made mum happy.
"But I shall do my best to be here as much as possible. I've missed your mother very much."
"Oh…" I didn't know how to take that, it hurt of course, but then again, what did I expect? For him to express how sorry he was that he missed out on my life up until now, that if he had to do it all over again he would change things so that he'd be there? Hmmph. No, he's definitely not that kind of man.
"And I am curious to learn more about you. Your mother says we are very much alike, I am looking forward to spending more time with you so that I may see what parts of me you have inherited."
"Ok." I guess that's better than nothing. Still… A foolish fantasy for me to think he'd become emotional, mother said he wasn't that kind of man.
"I am taking my leave though to work on my study. Inform your mother that I do not wish to be disturbed for any reason until I emerge from there."
"Yes sir."
"Good day."
"Good day." And then he was gone.
"Sweetheart are you in here?"
"Hi mum."
"Hello dear how did you sleep?"
"Great! It was nice to be sleeping in my bed. You slept late are you ok?"
"Oh yes dear, I am just fine, but 9:00am is late for me. That means I only have a half our to ready myself for my day."
"What are we doing? Anything exciting?"
"Well I am going to Diagon Alley, I have some Christmas things to shop for, and I'm meeting up with Narcissa Malfoy, do you remember her? You met her when you were little. She's married to Lucius Malfoy, they have a son your age."
"I don't remember her, I'm sorry."
"Well no worries, you can meet her when she floos in. Now, have you eaten?"
"Yes, I had bacon, eggs, and some juice."
"No fruit?"
"Oh, yes, he got some fruit for me."
"He-oh you mean your father? Where is he I had some things I needed to ask him."
"He said that he was in his study and didn't want to be disturbed."
"Oh, hmm…"
"Mum?"
"Yes dear?"
"We don't have a study though."
"I'm sure he's making one out of the spare rooms that we have down here on the first floor."
"Oh… Ok."
"I must get ready though, make me a list of anything you need while I'm out and I'll get it ok love?"
"Ok." Mum sure has been busy since he has come back. I kind of wish he wasn't here so that things would be back to normal. Oh well I should try and get my homework done then I could have my whole break to do whatever I wanted.
30 minutes later
WHOOSH!
"Oh hello. You must be Evangaline's Tommy."
"Yes."
"I'm Lady Malfoy, but you may call me Narcissa. Is your mother around?"
"Um, I think so. MOOOOOOOM!"
"Coming, coming dear."
"She's coming."
"Ah, Narcissa sorry I'm a little flustered, just trying to get everything in order you know."
"That is quite alright, ready to leave?"
"Yes. Honey did you make me a list?"
"Yeah, here."
"Thank you. Now be a good boy ok, and Listen to your father and the elves will make you lunch when you want it."
"Ok. Bye mum, Lady Malfoy."
"I love you honey, I should be back for dinner around 7:00."
"Ok."
"Shall we?"
WHOOSH!
And then there were two. Just me and him. Him who was somewhere working on his study or whatever he's actually doing.
2:00pm
Finally, my homework is done. Thank goodness I started before I left or it'd take longer, of course it was rather easy. I'll have mum go over it sometime but for now I'll go have lunch and then maybe go outside. "Trixi."
POP!
"Youngs master calls Trixi?"
"Uh yes…" It is weird being called that. "Do you think you could make me some lunch?"
"Yes lunch is beings made for young master. It wills be ready shortlys."
"Thank you."
POP!
Hmm now what? Maybe I'll go see if he wants lunch as well. I know he said he didn't want to be disturbed but it's rude to have lunch without informing anyone else, at least that's what mum said. I wonder which room his in. No, not the tea room, not the blue room, I don't even know what this room is for. He's not in the grey room, or the yellow room, why are all of these named after colors couldn't there be something else better to name them? That leaves the green room. He would take the coolest room for his study. Well here goes nothing.
KNOCK. KNOCK.
"I said I did not want to be disturbed!"
He's mad at me. Way to go Tom. "Um I know but it's around 2:00 and I'm having lunch and I wanted to see if you wanted something..."
"…"
And then it was quiet. Deadly quiet. If I didn't know any better I wouldn't have thought he was even in there, except for the fact that he had yelled at me not a minute before. "To eat…"
"…"
Um ok. He's obviously really mad at me. "Ok, well I'm sorry for disturbing you I just didn't want to be rude. I'll leave you alone now." Stupid Tom, why did you disturb him when he said not to?
"I shall join you in a moment."
"Oh-oh ok." Probably to yell at you. "I'll be in the dining room." I don't think I'd every walked so fast to the dining room. He did not sound pleased that I had disturbed him and I wish that I hadn't bothered him, just as he asked. Sitting there in the chair it donned on me that I don't think Trixi knew that he was going to be eating with me. "Trixi!"
POP!
"Young master calls Trixi?"
"I uh yes. My uh-he-uh-my d-dad will be eating lunch as well."
"Yes sirs. Trixi is makings lunch fors Master and young master."
"Oh ok."
POP!
I had just called him my dad. Dad. I'd vocalized it and it was weird. I hadn't even thought about how it would sound but I had said it and it didn't sound too weird, just saying it was weird, foreign to my tongue.
"What is bothering you?"
How does he do that? "Uh no."
"…"
"I apologize for disturbing you."
"It is of no consequence. I was finished anyways."
Finished? "Oh…"
"Your mother, she left?"
"Yes, this morning with a friend."
"Friend?"
"Yes, Lady Malfoy. They went to Diagon Alley."
"Ah I see."
"Yeah. Um I-"
POP!
"Lunch."
"Thank you Trixi."
"Young master and master is welcomes. Elves be doings ours jobs we do."
POP!
"You were saying?"
"Oh yeah I uh, I was wondering if it is alright if I go outside after lunch for a few hours, I've finished my homework."
"For which class?"
"For all of them."
"Hmm, not that challenging then?"
"No, not really, but I'll have mum go over them sometime during break."
"I shall go over them and if they're up to par then you may go outside."
"I-ok."
"Something wrong with that?"
"N-no sir. I just wanted to see if my friends were ok."
"I see. Perhaps they may come inside for a bit-to warm up."
"No, no, no. Mum would never allow that."
"But I am saying that your friends may come inside, surely that must be ok?"
"I-well yes but mum still would be mad that I'm breaking the rules. Maybe-well, you could talk to her and maybe they can come inside while I'm home, or-or when it gets real bad. They're ok just when it snows they get real bad and-and yeah." Mum would never go for it, even if he said something. She'd flip.
"Mm perhaps."
After this we just sat and ate. The elves had prepared a potato salad and chicken to eat, rather good actually, even though it was weird to have food made by elves and not mum but nice in a way. I wonder if she'll make Christmas dinner like usual or if they will. After lunch we parted ways for a bit, but only after I'd given him my homework. I was still outside when my mum called for me to come clean up for dinner.
"How was your day honey?"
"It was ok. I finished my homework."
"Oh well that's good, I shall look over it sometime."
"I've looked over it, he needs to go through and work a little on his essay for transfiguration but other than that it is all fine, I'm sure you'll agree."
"Of course and how is your study?"
"Finished, tomorrow I shall be having a meeting in there for most of the day."
"Alright. Tommy perhaps you and I can go shopping, would that be alright with you?"
"Sure. May I be excused I'm tired and I think I'm going to go read for a bit."
"Of course dear. Good night."
"Good night mum. Sir."
"Meetings, anything I should be worried about?"
"No Angel, but it is good that you and he shall be gone for the day."
"Oh…"
"We may be having a guest or two for dinner."
"Alright, I shall tell Trixi to be sure to make a special meal for dinner."
"Very good. Now, perhaps we can retire, I have to get up early but I'd like to spend time with you before sleep over comes us."
"Well I-"
"Come along."
