I wring my hands with worry. Tom's tone was downright scary, I won't lie. I look at Tommy and he looks back at me.
"I'm sorry I got you in trouble with him mum. I did-didn't mean to. I-"
"Shhh… It's okay honey don't worry. I can handle your father." His worry for me was quite endearing. Making my heart swell with affectionate love at his worried state for my well being.
"But mum, he sounds really really mad at you. I-I didn't mean for him to be mad at you. I just wanted to find my friends, not get you in trouble. Honest." I've gone and done it now.
"Tommy, shh, just relax it's okay. I'll be back in a few minutes okay, just get some rest."
I can hear them talking, Evangaline's voice is calm and reassuring with the boy while he sounds over-wrought at what could possibly happen to his mother. Somewhere deep inside me I acknowledged the fact that I my tone had scared him-this was a good piece of knowledge to keep in mind should I ever need to use it. I hear her leave the room and walk down the hallway, she enters,
"You wished to speak with me Tom?"
She knew I did. I just glower at her. "Yes. It bothers you that Severus was here?"
I didn't want to upset him more than he already was. "No." Of course it does, he knows it. He knows!
I just stare at her and she looks down, her body language instantly becoming submissive to my dominant stance. I smirk, loving the power that I have over her with just a look. "Why do you lie to me pet? You know that I can see right through you, there is nothing that you think or feel that I do not know. What is the point of lying?"
I look up at him, "I-I," swallowing furiously, "I just don't want you to be upset with me when I don't like something that you approve of. I-I…" I just fall silent and walk around Tom to sit on the bed. Covered in dinosaurs I rub my hand over the soft fabric and I smile at the day I got this for Tommy. "You know, he loves dinosaurs, almost as much as he loves snakes. He was so happy when he opened his Christmas presents and saw this bed set." Smiling at the memory I almost forget that Tom is in the room as I drift back to that time, he clears his throat and I am drawn back to reality.
"I have somewhere for us to be tonight. Not a function, but I wish to spend time with you alone without the boy. We leave now."
"Now? But Tommy… I cannot leave him he's-"
"He's fine with the elves they've already been made aware. Tell him goodbye." I walk out of the room and down the hall way stopping at my bedroom door, she follows.
"Honey, your father and I are going to go out somewhere." His eyes widen and I can tell he's afraid, for me or for him I'm not sure, but fear is clear in his eyes. I turn to look at Tom, hoping that he'll see the panic and fear in Tommy's face. He just stares at me, blankly. "Don't worry honey, nothings wrong," he doesn't believe me, "We're going shopping for Christmas, can't have you come along now can we?" I say to him smiling as I pull the covers up to his chin and then sit down putting a reassuring hand upon his cheek. He stares at me for a second,
"But mum…" She can't leave. She never leaves me when I'm sick. "What if I need you?"
He's breaking my heart. I can barely stand it. "No what ifs baby, we'll be right back and then you and I can spend the rest of the day together okay? I just need to help you father buy some Christmas presents for you, it's not like he knows what to get you, now does he?"
I like presents but I don't want her to go. "I-I don't want you to go away."
"Oh honey I won't go, promise."
"But he went away. You can't promise you won't." I'm sure I sound like a baby to him but I don't care. I want her to stay. I want her to.
"Evangaline, why don't you go downstairs and get your cloak. It's cold out and you'll need it." The interaction between them doesn't sicken me but makes me think of my own what ifs. What if my mother had lived, would we had, had a relationship like this? I hate these thoughts."Evangaline, your cloak." I say pointedly to her. She bends down and kisses his forehead whispering something into his ear and he whispers back nodding. If I had a heart this would be touching, but I don't, and it's wasting my time. I clear my throat and she hugs him before standing and walking towards me a cold look on her face appears as she glances at me but dissipates when I raise an eyebrow at her. She hurries past and down the stairs. "We will return shortly, this I assure you."
"Promise?" He doesn't come in to say goodbye, just that they'll return shortly. My response threw him off I think-not sure he's an impossible man to read but I think it shocked him. I think it did. He just stares at me a moment before he says,
"We'll be back shortly."
And he turns from the door and I hear him go down the stairs, say something to mum, and then the "POP!" of apparition echo's throughout the house and it's silent once more. Laying there for a few moments I rest upon the pillows looking up at the ceiling and I can feel my tiredness taking over and my eyes droop. The fire's popping echo's in my ear as the light of the candle's engulf the room.
