I didn't know where Tom was taking me and the suddenness of our plans and our departure not only surprises me but has me on edge. I shiver a bit as I grab my cloak and don it. I hear Tom on the stairs and I turn just in time to see him enter the room, his cloak is already on. I look at him before he draws me to him and I feel the pull of apparition and we're off. I squeeze my eyes shut and hug Tom closer as we fly through time and space, our destination unknown only to me. We stop and I continue to hold Tom but I hear muffled voices. Clearing his voice I slowly let go of Tom and step back, taking our surroundings in. "Where-where are we?" He smirks and grab's my hand. I walk alongside him, there is people all around us, "Tom, where-"
"Russia."
I stop in shock. Russia? Why-why would we be here? My sudden halt stops him as well and he turns somewhat to look at me, one eyebrow raised, his lip cocked in a half smirk-he's pleased with himself. "Why are we in Russia?"
"Why not?" She amuses me.
"We don't' really have somewhere to be do we?" He turns to look at me and then takes my hand again and begins walking, I have no choice but to take up stride next to him.
"It's about dinner time here. Would you like to eat?"
"Well I-Tommy and I just had breakfast. I'm not really-"
"I think we shall dine."
Tom turns and we walk down a dark, dank, steam-filled alley. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous or scared, even with Tom there. I'm sure it did not escape his attention that I scooted closer to him, adjusting my hands, so that my left hand wrapped into his and my right arm came up to grip his bicep. This creepy alley was unsettling and I thought of Tommy and how I'd rather be at home with him instead of here in this scary place with Tom. As if sensing my obvious discomfort Tom stopped and looked down at me a moment before pulling out his wand, turning to his right he clicked three bricks and all of a sudden they pulled apart showing a restaurant, and a fancy one at that. Feeling underdressed I look down only to find that Tom was changing my outfit to a deep forest green dress, with silver trim with black shoes. Looking up at him I open my mouth to speak but then a waiter comes up to us, he leans in and says something to the waiter that I can't hear who nods and leaves.
"We're meeting with the Headmaster of Drumstrang."
My jaw drops. "M-meeting with the Headmaster, why are we doing that?" He just smiled and held my hand, his thumb rubbing circles upon my hand. The waiter returns and beckons us to follow, we do and my nerves were sprinting so fast I could hardly breathe. The waiter led us to double doors and then through them. Sitting in a large room was the Headmaster, that Professor from Hogwarts, Snape, Severus Snape, Lucius Malfoy- My heart dropped when I realized I was the only female. This was going to be awkward, I think and sigh. I always hated public settings with those I didn't know. Tom knew that. As we're approaching the table where the principle was eating Tom mutters,
"Speak when spoken to. Let me handle the rest."
And then he smiled that sickeningly sweet smile. "Igor, it is so lovely to see you again."
I felt bad for Headmaster Karkaroff. He looked like he was going to be absolutely sick. Nodding, his mouth moving as though it was dry suddenly. Standing he, and his companions waited until Tom and I had reached them.
"I believe you've met Ms. Brawn?"
"Y-yes. I have. Ms. Brawn."
I lowered my head and eyes and then rose them again, "Headmaster, lovely to see you again." My voice small and quiet. I stood close to Tom but not too close-we were in public. Pulled out my chair as he greeted the Professor and Lucius, I nodded in turn to them and each in turn to me. So far so good I thought, breathing deeply. "Oh-um what?" I said in a startled manner as Tom squeezed my leg under the table. The waiter had asked what we wanted to drink, "Water please." I responded, a bit embarrassed I'm sure my face was flushed. It was quiet until the waiter returned with my water, as usual, Tom didn't have anything. He never drinks in public. Ever. After ordering our-or should I say, my food, Headmaster Karkaroff cleared his throat,
"So what brings you to Russia Ms. Brawn?"
I looked at Tom, and then around the table. Taking a sip of my water before I answered, "I-Well-I…" I wasn't sure in all honesty so I just turned and looked at Tom, who smirked.
"Her son does. And I do."
The Headmaster shook his head, whether in a comprehensive manner or not. The awkward silence stretched on, glancing at Tom he had a pensive look upon his face. The food came and I took small, dainty bites, just like Tom liked me to in public-in front of… Friends. As we, the Headmaster, the Professor, and Lucius began to eat Tom spoke.
"I trust this is a secure restaurant Igor."
Choking a bit on his ravioli, he looked up in surprise at Tom. "Yes. I assure you that this is a secure place." His eyes shifted from me to Tom and to the Professor and Lucius and then back to Tom. I don't blame him Tom is a scary man, especially when he's acting like this.
"Good. You know her son has been having some issues at school Igor."
Still light, Tom's voice flitted around the table in a seemingly harmless manner and I sat still at Tom's sudden thought. But I continued eating and sipping my water. After swallowing his food Igor looked at me and then at Tom before answering.
"Yes, I uh, well I'm sorry about that Ms. Brawn. Your son's continuing problems at school are something that I, and the staff aren't proud of. There must be a way for your son to keep out of trouble so that his education at Drumstrang may continue at the successful rate that it has started out at."
I looked at him sharply and he seemed a bit taken aback. "My son," I say in a cold tone, "does not have a problem. It is your Mrs. Scroogay and that Khristo boy that have a problem. And you-"
"That's enough."
Tom says next to me. I turn and look at him. I can feel my eyes ablaze and I open my mouth to respond when he repeats himself,
"I said, that's enough."
His eyes seem to penetrate me, squeezing my heart and sniff in distaste and pick up my glass sipping it before I stand, the men standing with me. "I must powder my nose." I turn and leave the room. Furious with Tom, with Headmaster Karkaroff, with the world, I don't know.
"I would apologize Igor for her outburst but that would be a falsity, she takes her son's problems in school to heart. That and the lack of respect that your institution seems to have for him and for the fact that it's always him verses how many boys, with this Khristo in the center of it all."
"I-I well she is just being sensitive. You know how mothers are my lord." Whispering the last part to me, I continued to revel in the power that I still had over this spineless twit of a man. Severus and Lucius were gravely silent watching our interaction intently.
"That is true, I do know how women are and even more so I know how she is." The look upon his face was interesting. A mix between questioning and disbelief. "I know her so well and the reason while we're here tonight is not because of the reasons told to you by Severus and Lucius, but rather because of the boy and the issues that he's been having at school." Sitting back as though he's won something Lucius appears to smell victory in the air. Although I'm not sure at what, it's not like he know about Evangaline and the boy, no, only Severus did.
"My Lord, I understand that she, as a mother, takes the issue of her son's on going problems at school but I hardly see how that warrants this meeting up between us. I see no reason why she and her boy are a concern to you, or-or to Lucius or Severus."
His bold comment irked me but I kept myself calm, cool, collected, blowing up on him would do nothing. It wouldn't get me, nor the boy anywhere. I smirk at him, he fidgets. I enjoy his comfort even more.
"Is-is he the son of one of the members in your inner circle? Is she their wife, or sister?"
He's nervous. His stutter makes me happy. I just smirk at him. "No. She is not."
Grunting with indignation and frustration, "Well then I see no reason why this is an issue my lord."
Smiling openly at him in a predatory manner he sucks in his breath quickly. "While you are correct that normally neither she nor the boy would be any concern of me in this situation you are wrong. They are not just anyone to me or to our organization." I chose my words wisely. Watching his reactions to each word, to each change in tone, I reveled in it. "But since the boy is my son I would say that there is a problem with the way he is being treated." In a gleeful manner I took in his shock, his face paling to an inhuman level.
"I-I didn't know My Lord."
"Yes. I know." I respond. The door to the room opens and Evangaline returns.
Walking up to the table she sits down, stiffly. "I apologize for coming at you so strongly, but I do hope that you understand why I reacted so." He nods, he's very pale, I'm not sure why and I look at Tom.
"Yes-I-I didn't know that he was my-was Tom's son. I did-didn't know."
Shocked I turn to look at Tom. He's smirking although I'm not sure he's smirking at me.
"Ms. Brawn would you like something to drink, something stronger perhaps?"
"I-um," he wouldn't suggest it if he didn't want me to have something, "alright."
"Very good. Severus take Ms. Brawn to the bar and get her something to drink. Nothing too strong of course."
I just look at him a second until Severus is around the table and standing next to me. I rise, looking back one more time at the table. Headmaster Karkaroff looks terrified, Lucius calm, and Tom smug-well at least some things never change I think to myself. The door shuts behind us and I look back,
"They'll be fine. I assure you Ms. Brawn."
I glower at him. "Whatever." I mutter and he just looks at me before ordering me a martini from the bartender. Sipping on the drink I look around the place. It isn't seedy as I had really thought when we were walking up to it, just hidden. I look at the Professor and he looks back,
"What?"
"What do you think they're talking about?" I ask in a small quiet voice. Suddenly I realize I'm somewhat afraid for the Headmaster. While I've never seen Tom do anything violent I know that his reputation as Lord Voldemort is earned.
"I don't know. I'm here with you-not them."
He responds in a snarky manner. I just look at him in a petulant way. "You don't have to be so snarky it was just a question." He doesn't respond, merely looks away. Another few minutes pass and I begin to fidget. Not done with my drink I look back across the room at the room where Tom is enclosed in with Lucius and the Headmaster. I sigh to myself, "I'm ready to go. Do you think he'll be done soon?" Before the Professor can respond the door opens and Headmaster Karkaroff hurries off through the restaurant giving me and the Professor a glance before rushing out the door. I rise to head towards the room when Tom and Lucius enter the main dining room. Severus places his hand on the small of my back and indicates that I walk towards them. I roll my eyes thinking, as though I need to be told. As soon as I start walking his hand falls down to his side again. Reaching Tom, he pulls me to him,
"She was behaved?"
His tone, calm, doesn't give anything away and completely irritating. "I'm not a child." He looks at me and his mouth goes taught. "I'm sorry," I say in a breathless tone and lean into his chest, my head upon his heartbeat, my stance is obviously a submissive one.
"No, you're not a child." He responds but doesn't say more to me. I don't breathe a sigh of relief I'll probably get it later on. "Lucius, Severus, thank you for this evening. Until next time." They nod and we leave. Where to, I hadn't a clue.
