Petunia wasn't feeling up to going with them so she decide she was going to stay behind to pack, at the moment however she was on the couch. Lily and Rosemary were sitting in the kitchen talking.

"Mom, how did you meet Tom? He said you were old friends but you've never mentioned him before."

Rosemary thought of a response she bit her lip because she couldn't think of anything. "Well, you see..... we met..."

Knock

Knock

Knock

Lily quickly forgot her question and answered the door, there stood Tom wearing a pair of black jeans and a gray sweatshirt. In his hand he held three silk roses, one was white, the other a light pink, and the last one was a deep red.

He handed the white one to Lily, "To the smartest little witch Hogwarts will ever see."

He handed the pink one to Petunia, "For a brave and pretty young lady,"

He handed Rosemary the deep red one, "And for the beautiful woman," he leaned forward and whispered, "who is mine."

Rosemary let a small gasp escape her lips, she then smiled, "Thank you Tom, they are beautiful,"

Tom smiled he seemed truly happy, "So are we ready to go?"

"Yes, me and Lily are ready but Petunia decided that she was going to stay and pack."

Tom turned to Petunia, "You've had enough of the wizarding world I take it?"

Petunia gave him a small smile, "To last a lifetime."

Tom returned the small smile with one of his own. "Not all magic is bad,"

Petunias smile turned into a bitter one, "But not all magic is good,"

Tom smirked, "You learn quickly, your right there is always a certain balance in everything even magic. There is always good behind the evil."

Petunia looked at him square in the eye, "And evil behind the good?"

Tom looked uncomfortable and cleared his throat, "Yes that's true, but are you sure you wont come with us?"

"Yes, I'm sure, but thank you for the offer and the flower."

Rosemary hadn't paid attention to the little conversation, she was staring at the rose, she went to her room and placed it on the small vanity. She came back out to find Tom and Lily waiting by the door with Petunia going into her room. Tom had his wand out, he pointed it at Lily's flower and said, "Bonum odorus."

The flower glowed for a second and Tom handed Lily the flower, she sniffed it and said, "Oooh it smells like a real rose, thank you Tom,"

She then did something that shocked Rosemary.



She hugged Tom.


At first Tom froze, but after a second of hesitation, he wrapped his hands around her. "Your welcome, I'm glad you liked it."


Rosemary didn't want to spoil the moment but they had to leave. She cleared her throat. Tom let go of Lily but Lily laced her fingers though his long ones.

Lily smiled at. "Look what Tom did, I can't wait till I'm able to do that."

Lily handed Rosemary the rose, she could smell the sweet scent of a freshly cut rose on a spring morning. Rosemary placed the rose on the kitchen table and walked up to her daughter. Lily grabbed Rosemary's hand with her free one. And they left for Diagon Alley.


When they got there they went straight to the Magical Menagerie. Lily still didn't know that her mother had agreed to let her have the snake. (AN: Like she had much of a choice hehehe o_O ) She went up to the snake tank and looked longingly at it. Tom saw this and went up to her while Rosemary went to see the different owls.


"You want that snake don't you?"


Lily looked up at him, "If I could have it, I would be extremely happy."


"If I gave it to you will I gain a place in that heart of your?" Tom asked playfully even though he really wanted to know.

Lily looked at him and smiled, "If you gave me this snake you will have your own section."

Tom laughed, he new she was joking but he knew that if he gave her the snake that he would at least he would be a step closer to achieving the one thing that would be more important than conquering the wizarding world.


A family to call his own.



He was quickly forming a plan that would get him the one thing he never had as a child. When he started trying to gain power he knew no decent woman would want to have a family with him. And if they did it was because of his power and not because of him. But then there was Rosemary.

What they had wasn't planned but it gave him hope that someone could love him for him. He knew he loved her and it scared him, that's why he couldn't say those three words to Rosemary, even though he knew she loved him. He was afraid of getting hurt emotionally. The loss of a mother he never knew, the rejection he received from his father when he sent a letter to him when he was old enough to write, the sneer's he got from other children during his years at the orphanage. It had affected him so greatly that it had turned his heart cold.

But his heart was melting with each passing minute that he spent with Rosemary. When he told her that he thought of her, he wasn't lying. He thought of her constantly, when he slept he would dream of her in all her glory screaming his name in ecstasy.


He loved her even more now that he knew that she had given him a daughter. The little girl whom didn't know the dangers of the wizarding world yet. But she would know soon of the evil Lord Voldemort when she started school. Did he really want to continue his plans to take the wizarding world? Was it worth it to have Lily be exposed to such horrors just so that he can have people fear him to the point that hearing his name would make them fear their lives? His train of thought was interrupted when he realized that Lily had started talking.



"I want this snake but Petunia is afraid of them so Mom would not like the idea."


Tom leaned over to her and looked around like he was about to tell her a great secret. "Your mother already agreed."


Lily looked like they had just told her that Christmas had come early. "Really?"

Tom nodded.

"Oh thank you Tom, thank you so much." Lily hugged Tom one more time, but this time Tom knew how to react so he gave her an extra squeeze.

"Why don't you get your mother while I get the snake?"

Lily nodded and ran off to Rosemary who was looking at a great black eagle owl.

Tom turned to the snake and spoke in a slow whisper, in a language that only the snake understood.

"What is your name?"

The snake looked at him curiously and spoke in a feminine voice, "I have no name, I've never sssseen a two legged who could sssspeak the sssserpant tongue."

Tom smirked, "I'm different, how would you like a home where you will be treated with love and given a good home?


"That would be wonderful, but no one want'sssss an animal that could kill it withhh a bite."

"My daughter would take you if you fallow certain rules."


The snake seemed to be interested, it slithered closer to the glass.

"First never bite a two legged unless I tell you other wise or if they are trying to hurt her."

The snake nodded.


"Second you stay in your tank unless she takes you out herself. Third only eat what she gives you. And fourth don't wrap yourself around someone's neck because it will kill them. If you accept these rules you will be given a good home. Do you accept?"


The snake agreed instantly, so Tom went to the counter where Rosemary held a cage to the owl she was looking at earlier and Lily had chosen a wicker basket where the snake was going to be transported home.

"We want the female snake in the middle, the largest tank you have here and whatever the snake eats."

The woman behind the counter nodded and went to do as she was asked. She soon returned with the snake and placed it in the basket, Lily looked at the snake lovingly. The woman went to the back and returned with a gigantic tank which she moved with her wand.

Rosemary looked at it and asked Tom, "How are we supposed to take that home?"

Tom smirked and pulled out his wand,"Simple, Reducio."

The tank got smaller, to the size of a paper weight.

The woman behind the counter started bringing in cages of rats and rabbits. "This is what she eats now," She said pointing at the rats. "But in about three months she will need to be feed a rabbit a once a month, because her appetite will get bigger. She will only shed her skin once and will grow to be from seven to ten feet. She's a baby still so it wont happen for about ten to thirteen years."

Tom nodded and paid for both the owl and the snake, along with everything else they needed. Tom told the woman to hold everything until they came back, and gave her an extra twenty Galleons as a tip.

"Tom where are we going we have to head back soon?" Asked Rosemary who had no choice but to fallow.

"I want to get something. Just amuse me and come without complaint. Please?"

Rosemary nodded, there was no point in arguing since Lily looked like she agreed with Tom.

They arrived at a store which Rosemary hadn't noticed before. It sold jewelry that Rosemary had never seen before. Each piece more beautiful than the next. Behind the jewelry they sold hand carved boxes each one unique.

"Lily I want you to chose anything you want, call it a belated birthday present. I also want you to chose something for your sister make sure its something she would like. I wouldn't want her to feel left out."

Lily turned to her Mother, "Can I. Mom?"

Rosemary smiled. "If Tom said you could then I guess its all right."

Lily started looking around while Tom turned to Rosemary, "Look around while I get something." He disappeared and Rosemary went with Lily.


Lily chose two matching lockets, the only difference was that one was gold the other silver. They had tiny vines wrapped around and when you opened them they played a soft melody.

(AN: You can put any song you want but personally I put 'My December' By Linkin Park, oh and heres a hint if I were you I'd download it cuz its gonna fit with the last chapter. hehehehe wink wink~_^)


The wizard behind the counter asked if she wanted them engraved. Lily nodded. "The gold one has to say Petunia and the silver Lily."

The wizard nodded and took it to the back where Lily can see they had people who's job was to personalize the jewelry.

Tom came back he had already got what he had wanted. It was in a bag that he kept close to his side. Rosemary raised an eyebrow at him and he smirked. Tom paid for the lockets and whispered something the wizard.

He came back with two bags and handed them to Tom. They left the store and headed back to the Magical Menagerie where they got Lily's pets. Lily and Rosemary wanted to know what Tom was up to but decided not to comment.



Unknown to the 'family,' someone with cold hazel eyes and long strawberry blond hair had spotted them and was furious. She vowed then and there that she would get rid of the woman who had stolen the man that she loved.




They reached the hotel and made their way to the suite, Petunia was watching the Television and drinking juice.

Tom told everyone to sit down on the kitchen table. He gave Lily and Petunia a bag. They opened it and saw that they each had a wooden carved box. Lily's had an Empress of India Lily carved in the middle with Stargazer Lily's surrounding it. Petunia's had small Petunias all over, they were painted in yellows, pinks, reds, purples, and whites. The boxes were the same size and, except for the carvings, were the same.

"The only big difference between them is that Lily's has a charm on it to fit more things," said Tom with a smile on his face. He turned to Petunia.

"Why don't you open yours, Petunia. Lily helped by picking it out. I hope you like it."

Petunia opened her box and saw the gold locket she picked it up and saw that her name was engraved on the back. She opened it up and heard the sweet melody that made her tear up. She got up and thanked Tom by giving him a quick hug.

"Thank you Tom I love it."

Tom smiled, he had won Petunia over. Since Petunia liked him now things would go a lot smoother for him. He actually liked this girl she was a quick learner and didn't trust new people easily. he wouldn't mind if she was one day a part of his family too. (AN AAAAW how cute....... hehehe and evil ~_^)


Petunia then hugged Lily for choosing it and gave her Mom a peck on the cheek just because she wanted to. Lily showed her locket and Petunia smiled at her.

Lily told Petunia about the snake and the owl. She liked the owl but the snake made her back up.

"I don't mind the snake as long as you keep it in its tank."

Rosemary told Lily and Petunia to pack. They left with their things and closed the door.


Tom sat down across from Rosemary and gave her the bag. He smirked as Rosemary raised an eyebrow.

"You didn't think I forgot about you? Did you think I wouldn't get you something?"

Rosemary smiled, "Honestly yes I did."

She took out a velvet jewelry box and opened it. Inside was a silver snake bracelet, its eyes were made of Emerald and its long tongue was made of Ruby. It was beautiful. Tom took it from her and grabbed her hand in his. He showed her the inside where it was engraved.

In smooth cursive the word, "You belong to me, and I to you," were written.

"I charmed it so that when I want to see you the eyes will glow. When the eyes glow you touch the tongue and say my name you will be transported to me. But if you want to see me you touch the eyes and say your name I will try to get to you if I can. I'll know that you want to see me when the eyes of my necklace glow."

He pulled out the necklace from his gray sweatshirt that Rosemary remembered from the day they met. It looked different, the snake looked like hers now, but the skull was the same.

Tom decided it was time to leave. Rosemary led him to the hallway, after she closed the door. Tom wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her.

When they pulled back Rosemary hugged him and whispered. "Thank you Tom, for everything. Especially buying that for Petunia, you really didn't have to."

"You don't need to thank me I'm actually starting to like her, she reminds me of you."

"Well, I was going to give you another kiss to show my appreciation but if you don't want it....."

Tom pouted, "I want a kiss."

Rosemary smiled and gave him a passionate kiss that made Tom moan.

They separated and rested on each others foreheads.

"I love you Tom,"

"I love you too."

Rosemary smiled.

Tom stared into her honey colored eyes, "You belong to me, and I to you."

He gave her another quick kiss and disappeared with a small pop.
