When they appeared in his home, Tom was not surprised to see Kaitlyn's face alight with wonder and curiosity. She looked around the room, amazed, before asking, "You live here?"
At her question, Tom nodded and watched the girl's eyes widen even more. She began to wander around the room, before wandering out of it. He let her walk around his home, and decided to let her be. What could she hurt?
She eventually found him in his study, a large grin on her lips, and her hands behind her back as if hiding something. He could tell she wanted to tell him something, but wasn't sure how to.
"What are you hiding Kaitlyn?" He finally asked.
She looked down at the ground, her smile fading. She held her hands in front of herself, revealing a small, black snake wrapped around her wrist. "There was a man in one of the hallways, and he ran at me. He just turned into a snake. I don't know how to fix him."
He chuckled and carefully took the snake from her hands. He had a guess to whom the snake was, because only a few people had access to his private home.
Laying the snake on the ground, he cast a complicated spell. The snake began twisting around itself before growing larger and losing scales. Kaitlyn hid behind Tom, watching as the snake turned into a fully grown man.
"Abraxas. How wonderful it is to see you." Tom said as the blond haired man looked around confused, "Kaitlyn, this is Abraxas Malfoy. Abraxas this is Kaitlyn."
Kaitlyn smiled shyly at Abraxas as the man stared at her, as if seeing something strange. He shook out of it and smiled back at her.
"Hello Kaitlyn. It is nice to meet you. If you don't mind me asking, who is your family?"
"My family? I don't know. I don't remember much of them. They died when I was young." Kaitlyn answered truthfully, and wondering why he was asking.
"Do you remember your last name?"
"Nope. All I know is that I don't have a family, so why would I bother remembering my name?"
Kaitlyn would have started glaring at him, if it wasn't for the sudden look of wonder he was giving her.
Tom was looking in between the two. He was guessing that Abraxas was figureing out, or at least had already found out, who Kaitlyn was. Which he wanted to know.
"Kaitlyn, why don't you go finish walking around. I would like to have a talk with Abraxas for a bit." He said.
The girl looked at him before nodding and basically skipping out of the room.
Tom shook his head and smirked, still not able to smile. "Abraxas, who is she? Do you know?"
"Yes, my Lord," Abraxas answered, "There was once a pureblood family, the Maddiens I beilieve. The family had been taking a vacation of sorts in the muggle world. Supposedly all of them were killed, but no one could find the body of one of them. The youngest child, a girl that went by the name, Kaitlyn. There were rumors going around that the youngest had surived, and was living because of how strong her magic was. Others said she was too young to survive. Some thought that she was her family's killer. Some thought that the killer had taken her with them. No one ever knew. I was around eight years old when this happend."
Tom leaned back in his seat, thinking on the information he had just been told. Was Kaitlyn the missing Maddien child? Her magic was strong, and she was found in the muggle world. She did seem to have some pureblood qualities.
"Thank you Abraxas. I shall need time to think on this. You may leave."
