Cleaning up the kitchen I couldn't figure out why I cry so much. I am not a weak person but I've always just been a crier. Tom hates it when I cry, I don't want to make him upset by my constant crying, it upsets me to upset him. I hate it. Now though, it wasn't just Tom and I. It was me, Tom, and our son. Our son… How will he feel about Tom being back, will he be mad, sad, resentful? I can understand all of those feelings. I am not sure if he'll be happy, he never got to know his dad, he wasn't here for him, ever. Will he be upset with me, think that I lied to him? I don't know… I just don't know. All I want is for both of them to be happy and safe. Above anything else, just safe. And that Ms. Brawn, I know that she's targeting my baby, but why? What did he do? This has to stop-Should I write her back without speaking Tom, will he be upset if I do that? Yes, he'll want to be involved completely, perhaps just write a letter and then save it for Tom to read, yes that'll be good. I must reevaluate my list. Hard jobs first, get more done that way.
To Do:
1. Write Tom back, let him know what's going on and the rules, he must know them by the time he returns.
2. Clean up the house. Make it presentable. Call Narcissa... She knows how to make a home presentable.
3. Clean myself up. New clothes.
4. Get my angel his Christmas presants.
5. Get Tom Christmast presants.
6. Buy a house elf...
7. Clean up the yard. Make it presentable.
Alright, first, floo Narcissa, she'll be able to get more done without me, maybe brainstorm and figure everything out. Yes, that'll be first. Where is my floo powder, I know I have it somewhere. Where are you? I can't find anything in here, Tom's right, this place is truly a mess. Horrid, how did I survive this long living in this filth. Oh, right, here we are.
WHOOSH!
"Narcissa Malfoy"
"…"
"Narcissa Malfoy!"
"Hello?"
"Narcissa? This is Evangaline…"
"Evangaline? As in-Oh hello dear how are you?"
"I-I'm fine how are you?"
"Well thank you, I haven't heard from you in years."
"Yes, I know, I apologize. I should've kept in better touch with you and Lucius. I trust things are going well for you two?"
"Oh yes, marvelous dear. And you?"
"Well, things are-Things have become more complicated and I need your help."
"Oh not bad things?"
"I-Well no. Not really it's uh… Are you alone?"
"I-Well Lucius is here, is that ok?"
"Oh yes-yes he's fine. Um, I need your help in re-decorating my home. Would you be available to help me?"
"OH! I-Of course I can."
"Thank you so much. I knew I could count on you. Would you be able to floo over?"
"Yes. I can be there in a few minutes if you'd like."
"That would be great, I am on a short schedule."
"Alright, I'll be there in a minute."
"Thank you so much."
"No problem dear."
"Narcissa, was that, Evangaline…Riddle?"
"Yes Lucius, it was Evangaline, but her name is Brawn."
"Interesting, you must be mistaken, I was under the impression that it was Riddle."
"Perhaps you are the one mistake love, for I am quite sure that she has never changed it."
"…"
"Lucius don't look at me like that. I'm merely stating what I know."
"I don't like you're tone."
"Funny, I often don't like yours but you don't see me complaining."
"…"
"Often."
"Yes well… Shall you be needing money?"
"I'm not sure, she didn't mention it but perhaps we could fund her redecorating?"
"Fund?"
"Yes."
"…"
"Why can't we? You just got money from your brother, money that we don't need, really, and you'll be getting more from him in a week, what's wrong with helping out an old friend?"
"Old friend? Cissy, you two were never close."
"True, but she spoke to me more than anyone else. She's just had a hard life."
"True. Tragedy struck her family that is true."
"Yes. Shall I go get money from your office?"
"No, use your ring, I'll floo Luftin and have him transfer the money to your account."
"Thank you dear."
"Yes."
"…"
"Cissy you're still here. Evangaline is waiting."
"I know."
"What is it that you need?"
"Perhaps an elf?"
"An elf?"
"You bought four more last week, perhaps we can give on to her?"
"You're going out of your way for Evangaline… Why?"
"I am bored."
"…"
"Alright. I feel bad. And she-"
"She's a project for you. Narcissa…"
"Lucius please?"
"Fine. Take an elf. Two. And use all the money you need to-but I expect you home tonight."
"Of course dear thank you."
"Yes. Yes."
Alright, I've flooed Narcissa that is out of the way. What do I want to do with this place? I don't even know where to get a house elf, thank goodness she'll be here. What type of clothes do I need? I definitely need some lingerie, Narcissa will know about that too, as for clothes, Tom said something about entertaining guests, so some dress robes definitely, and I need to get some for Tom as well, I'm sure that he will need new ones, perhaps that can wait until after he returns home though. Christmas presents, what do I get them?
WHOOSH!
"Oh my!"
"Narcissa. Thank you for coming."
"I-It is no problem, what are friends for."
"So this is my living room, it is horrid but I need to speak to you, perhaps a cup of tea is in order?"
"Quite alright, how about the house elves make it."
"Narcissa I, I don't have house elves."
"You do now. Here. These are the elves that Lucius bought earlier this week, we really don't need them, there yours."
"Oh I… You don't have-"
"We insist."
"Oh, well thank you."
"Yes, where is a restroom that I may use to powder my nose?"
"Down the hallway, first door on the left. I apologize for the mess."
"It's alright dear. First door on the left?"
"Yes."
"Thank you. I'll be back momentarily."
"Alright. Now, what are your names?"
"I's am Tinx, and theys are Ducky, Effie, ands Trixi.
"Oh well, I'm Evangaline, I own this home. I'd like some tea please. Everything is in there. We will speak more later and I'll fill you in more on what I expect, but until then, clean the kitchen and dining room please. We'll take the tea in here."
"Yes miss."
POP!
"Evangalien?"
"Yes, in here."
"Alright now what is going on? All this time I don't hear from you and then suddenly you are having an emergency… What happened?"
"…"
"Evangaline, you can tell me. We're friends."
"I know. It's just that, well…"
"Yes…?"
"Tom's back."
"Tom's back? As in… Tom Riddle?"
"Yes…"
POP!
"Teas mistress."
"Thank you."
POP!
"Sugar Narcissa?"
"Yes please. Thank you."
"You're welcome. Yes so, Tom's returned and well…"
"Oh my… When?"
"Last night. He woke me up. But he left this morning. Said he had business to attend to, be gone for a few days."
"Oh my… So you're emotional?"
"Yes and Tom's having trouble at school with a boy, terribly frustrating because I know it isn't him. But what can be done? He's foreign and the boys family isn't."
"I'm sorry dear."
"It's alright, the way life is. So the real reason why I called you here is because Tom wants this place to look nicer as you can tell-it's not very nice. And you are very knowledgeable about knowing how to make things look beautiful. I want him to like it here-so that…"
"He'll like you more? Yes I understand. Shall we get started then?"
"Yes. Tinx!"
POP!
"Mistress calls?"
"We are done with the tea. Thank you. Once you're done cleaning the kitchen, please clean all of the bathrooms. And let me know when you have finished."
"Yes mistress."
POP!
"Thank you for the elves, having them makes things so much easier."
"Oh it was nothing my dear. Now lets figure out what we can do with this place."
"Alright."
"Do you have any ideas?"
"Well, I'd like to get rid of all the furniture, everything new. Update the paint on the walls-this faded green is horrid, and replace the floors, everything new."
"Ah, I see, I have an idea."
"Ok."
"Do you plan on getting rid of everything in the house?"
"Well in all of the rooms except for my son's yes, I'll do his when he returns home, I think that'll be good for him. I'd like to put everything in storage though, so I can restore it, then put it in another house."
"Another house?"
"Yes, I've been buying and selling houses for the past eleven years, I've come into quite a few, although they're all empty, I would like to have a vacation home.
"Oh wow, I didn't know that. Well my advice is just get rid of the furniture, and get everything new in your homes, it'll make it so much nicer."
"That is true. I'm going to ask Tom if I can run a Bed and Breakfast, I've been thinking about it for awhile, perhaps I should now that Tom is at school, I'm quite bored and lonely."
"Yes, I know what you mean, Draco's at school now and the house is so quiet, just hard."
"Exactly. I know that Tom is back but he has his work… And well, I-I don't have work so, perhaps he'll allow this."
"Right. Well it's good to be thinking about this sort of stuff, give you lots to talk about with him. Now, would you be opposed to going shopping with me while my house elves and yours clean up and dispose of everything?"
"I-No. Not at all."
"Great. Tucky, Linny, Tincy, Lulu, Kiki, Rally, and Tally!"
POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP!
"Yes mistress."
"I need you to clean up this home. While you're here, you will listen to Tinx, she is in charge."
"Yes Mistress."
"Alright, Evangaline?"
"Right. Tinx, Ducky, Effie, Trixi!"
POP! POP! POP! POP!
"Yes Mistress."
"We're going out. Tinx, you are in charge and these are Lady Malfoy's elves. I need you to clean and dispose of all the furniture except for the furniture in the last door on the left on the third floor. All of the clothes, personal items, and belongings put those in that room as well. Also, the basement, attic, front and back yards need to be cleaned up as well. Am I understood?"
"Yes mistress."
"Good. Alright. We are going out and will return this evening. Get as much done as possible today.
"Yes mistress."
"Thank you. Narcissa, ready when you are."
"Right. Tucky, do exactly as Tinx says."
"Yes mistress."
"When you have finished return home."
"Yes mistress."
"Alright dear, shall we apparate?"
"Alright. Diagon Alley?"
"Yes."
"See you there."
