Rosemary sat in Dillands office going through a pile of paperwork, her hair was disheveled the bags under her eyes were clearly visible as the winter sun shown through the windows. There were many preparations to be done for the funeral but Rosemary was not even close to being halfway done. She hadn't slept well since Dilland had passed away, the small print on the forms were getting blurry and hard to read. Rosemary tiredly rubbed her eyes and let out a frustrated sigh, she leaned back on the chair and stretched out her hands and wrists. She looked down at her bracelet and had an incredible urge to contact Tom, but the thought of Lily kept her from doing so.
A knock on the door made her sit up, in walked Lily holding a tray filled with sandwiches and some juice. Rosemary gave her a grateful smile as Lily set the tray on a table by a window. Rosemary sat on one of the chairs and Lily sat across from her.
"Petunia told me that you hadn't eaten yet so I made you lunch." Lily's voice was small and tired. She wore one of the robes that her Mother had bought her at Diagon Alley. They were simple and black, the only color that everyone in the house wore since Dilland's passing, even the small staff were as sad as the family was, they worked harder and wore their black uniforms instead of their navy blue.
"I forgot to, I was filling out the paper work that the lawyer had left me," Rosemary wasn't really hungry, but ate a few sandwiches anyway.
"Why doesn't the lawyer do this, isn't it his job?"
Rosemary cracked a tired smile, "No, his job is only to read the will and to provide the paper work. I have no problem with doing it, but I don't understand most of the forms, and since I can't sleep, I can't even read the words. At least you and your sister are helping with the flowers and sending out the letters, it gives me less things to do."
"When are we going to bury him?" Asked Lily looking out the window.
"I was thinking the day after tomorrow, but that is if I can finish everything by tonight."
Lily looked at her mother, "How about on Christmas? It was his favorite holiday and he would have wanted it."
Rosemary smiled, "Your right, he would have wanted us to have the funeral on Christmas. It also gives me plenty of time to make sure everything goes well."
Rosemary leaned back tiredly to her chair, she longed to fall asleep but there was still more work to be done. Lily saw how tired her mother was, she stood and took her mothers hand forcing her to stand, without a word Lily led Rosemary to the master bed room. The machines that had kept Dilland alive had been cleared, Dilland himself had long since been taken by the Undertaker to the funeral home, where they were keeping him preserved until the day of the funeral. Rosemary was too tired to refuse and let Lily take of her shoes and tuck her in. She had almost drifted off to sleep when she felt Lily give her a kiss on her forehead. She heard her whisper.
"I forgive you about everything Mommy,"
Rosemary gave her a tired and sleepy smile, "Thank you sweetheart you don't know how much that means to me."
She drifted off to sleep as Lily left the room and headed for her own. When she reached her room she headed for her desk, she took out a quill and piece of parchment. She wrote a quick note, her quill made laud scratches in the still room. Nagini was asleep in her tank and Ciaron was perched somewhere outside her window. After signing her name at the bottom, she rolled up the parchment and walked to her window.
"Ciaron! Come here darling!"
Ciaron was a proud bird, and took his deliveries seriously, he immediately swopped in. His black feathers were always neat and he always held his head up in an arrogant manner. Lily petted his head as he perched on her shoulder.
"I need you to make a delivery, it has to be done as fast as you can. Can you do that for me?"
Ciaron rubbed the side of his beak against her cheek. He held out his leg waiting as Lily tied the letter with a piece of soft ribbon. Before lifting off Ciaron perched himself on Lily's arm, and she brought him up to meet her in the eye.
"Give this to Tom."
A loud snap was heard as Ciaron expanded his powerful wings and flapped them in the air. Lily watched him as he flew, he grew small until he was no more than a dot in the air. She then went to her bed and took a much needed nap.
~*~
Lord Voldemort sat at the head of the table as he witnessed his Death Eaters arguing over something. It was mostly Tristan Malfoy against Belinda Anguis who were sitting on either side of him. They had been yelling at each other for the last 20 minutes, neither of them looked like they were giving up anytime soon. Lord Voldemort was getting tired of this so he waved his wand and let out venom green sparks. There was immediate silence, but it didn't stop the glares that Belinda was giving to Tristan.
"Can we get on with the meeting or are you going to continue bickering like children."
There was an eerie silence, everyone present was to afraid to say anything that would anger the dark lord. He leaned back into his chair and waved a hand at Belinda to continue what she had been saying before Tristan had interrupted. She stood up from her chair and started speaking.
"As I was saying before I was RUDELY interrupted," Tristan glared at her and she did the same, "we need to organize a grand scale attack on the Ministry, each team will be in charge of something, and it is their job to make sure that it is followed through. It has come to Lord Voldemorts attention that Dumbledore is leading the Aurors out of the ministry for undercover work, most of them will be out of the country. Its the perfect time to attack since the ministry will be defenseless and unguarded. I'm sure you all agree with this."
She was looking at Tristan daring him to question the plan, she smirked as she saw that he was biting his lip to keep from saying a word. She grabbed her wand and waved it in the air, black folders soon flew into the room and landed in front of Death Eater.
"Everything you need to know is in the folder in front of you, including what you and your team's assignments are. You are to inform your team tonight of what they have to do, you have one week until the next meeting. You are then to explain how far along you are with your progress."
Everyone looked through their own folders making mental notes as the skimmed through the information. Tristan seemed angry that Belinda had everything well organized and that Lord Voldemort was nodding with approval at her as he looked at the folder in front of him.
Lord Voldemort conjured up a quill and started marking off things on the parchment, and muttered to himself. He then looked back up to Belinda and motioned for her to sit down, she did and he stood up.
"Since our last meeting place was compromised we had today's meeting here at Belinda's home. Our next meeting will have to be at someone else's home until we find a new headquarters. Any volunteers?"
Tristan was about to respond but someone else beat him to it, "I'll be more than glad to host the next meeting, my Lord."
Lord Voldemort grinned, "Magnus, good then its settled we shall have the next meeting at Snape Manor. You are all dismissed."
Most from the Inner Circle left as soon as they were able to, rushing off to find their teams and get started in their tasks. Belinda had already informed her own team so she leaned back on her chair and grinned at Tristan who was glaring at her. Magnus was sitting next to her and Lord Voldemort was still at the head of the table.
"Magnus, I want you to make sure that your house is secure for next weeks meeting. Have Tristan help you add extra security around the premises, and when you are through head back to the Ministry and get as much information as you can get without looking suspicious. Inform Belinda of anything useful."
Lord Voldemort looked at Tristan, "After helping out Magnus I need you to go to the old headquarters and destroy any proof that we were there."
Both men nodded and left with two loud pops. Belinda turned towards Tom. He was tired and was trying to stretch out his tired back, Belinda stood and went behind his chair, she started massaging his shoulders expertly. He relaxed under her hands, he closed his eyes.
"I never knew you were so good at this Belinda," he was being lulled to sleep and rested his head against his chest.
Belinda was a cunning little trollop so she started rubbing on the back of his neck using a feather light touch. Her voice went into a seductive whisper, "There are a lot of things that I'm good at, I could show you sometimes if you'd like?"
Tom was half awake and just muttered, "That would be nice...."
Belinda smiled wickedly and walked around him, she sat on his lap and brought his face up to hers and captured his lips with her own. Tom kissed back sleepily thinking it was Rosemary, he wrapped his hands around her waist deepening the kiss. Belinda started unbuttoning Toms robes without braking the kiss. He wore no shirt underneath his robes, his well sculpted chest was exposed. Belinda broke the kiss only to start trailing kisses down his neck and his chest. Tom leaned into his chair ready to fall asleep when a noise stopped him.
Tap
Tap
Tap
He jumped up as he saw Ciaron on the window tapping his beak against the glass. Belinda had been sent sprawling to the floor barely missing the table, but Tom didn't notice her. He ran up to the window to let the poor bird out of the cold. Ciarons feathers had snow all over them, he shook them off and perched himself on Toms arm. Tom quickly took the note and read it, when he was done he wore a big smile on his face. Ciaron flew out the window, Tom ran back towards the table and grabbed his folder.
"I got to go, bye Belinda."
He apparated away, completely oblivious to the fact that Belinda had been on his lap a few minutes earlier kissing his still exposed chest, and was now on the floor fuming. She was angry, hot, and bothered, in other words she was horny. She stood up and punched the back of the chair that Tom had been sitting on.

Clink
Clank
Clink!
Dominic and Severus swung their Rapiers at each other, the sound of steel hitting steel was clearly heard in the large Rec. Room as the two boys tried to beat the other. They had been at it for over an hour, but neither one was giving up.
"Give up Snape, you can't win!" panted Dominic as they circled each other, Severus stretched out his tired wrist.
"Never! Its you who can't win, LeFay!"
They stretched their necks a bit before they lunged at the other with full force. The sleek and swift movements that both had mastered long ago made them both forces to be dealt with. Severus flipped over Dominic never stopping his Rapier from colliding with Dominic's. He tried to strike from behind but Dominic blocked it by bringing his sword over his head. The two weapons were still touching as Dominic whirled around to face Severus, though they were both wearing masks, they could still see most of the others eyes.
"Are you two done yet?"
Dominic looked up and Severus took this opportunity to strike Dominic's Rapier out of his hand, it landed with a laud clang. Dominic gulped as Severus pointed his Rapier to Dominic's face.
His voice was soft and to almost a whisper,"As I said LeFay, you are the one can't win."
Evelyn stood by the door way clapping her hands, she wore padding made out of black material instead of the normal white. She had set her helmet and Rapier on the floor, her black hair was tied in a loose ponytail and she wore an amused smile.
"Nice one Severus."
Severus took of his mask, his hair was not in its normal slicked back neat style, but it was wild and framed his face that wore a grin. He bowed mockingly, a dramatic look was plastered on his pale face.
"Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all night."
Dominic didn't find this funny and picked up his sword, he was muttering in Spanish to himself and took off his own mask his hair was just as disarrayed as Severus, but his was longer and went passed his cheek.
"That is not very sportsman like Severus."
Severus smirked at him as he started taking off the padding he was wearing, "Your just sore because I won, and you can't stand loosing."
Evelyn was tapping her foot impatiently as Dominic and Severus debated amongst themselves. She finally gave up and went up to Dominic.
"Are you going to duel with me or are you afraid of loosing again? Because if your not then you and my brother need to leave so that I can practice."
Dominic realized that she was still in the room, he gave her a sheepish smile and nodded. "Ooh, Yeah I'll duel," he smirked, "and I'll win too."
Severus just shook his head as Dominic tried to act normal around his sister, he went over to the table at the side and jumped up on it and sat with his legs crossed. He grabbed a water bottle and a towel.
"If I were you Dominic, I wouldn't be so confidant when your going against Evelyn."
Dominic walked over to him and took the water bottle that Severus had in his hand with a smirk. He had been about to drink from it, Severus narrowed his eyes at him and as Dominic placed the bottle top to his mouth, Severus 'accidentally' hit it with his elbow. Dominic started choking on the water and Severus jumped off the table and went behind him.
"Here Dom.," He said in a sarcastic voice, "Let me HELP you!"
He brought his hands together into a big fist and......
WHACK!!!
Dominic was now in the floor, rubbing his back with a pout. (AN: O_O hehehe) He looked up at Severus who gave him an innocent look.
[AN:I bet we can all see the halo over his head O:) ....well more like
^^
o_o ......either way,aww how cute]
Evelyn giggled, she walked over to Dominic and held out her gloved hand, "Here take my hand before my dear Brother tries to 'help' you again."
Dominic took her hand and blushed as she helped him up, Evelyn just smiled at him before her smile turned into a smirk. "Did my brother beat you up to badly for you to continue dueling?"
The competitive side of Dominic took over the blundering idiot that usually appeared when Evelyn was around, he grinned back at her.
"Don't worry, I'll go easy on you."
Evelyn just raised an eyebrow, she glanced over to Severus who gave her a small wink, and walked back to where she had set her equipment. She did a few stretches before putting her mask on, she took her Rapier and swished the air trying to warm up. Dominic just turned around to were Severus was sitting on the table again drinking another bottle of water with a content look on his face. Dominic now knew not to mess with Severus when he was thirsty so he grabbed another bottle, as soon as he grabbed his another bottle appeared in its place. He gulped it down quickly and was about to go over to Evelyn when Severus' voice stopped him.
"Don't underestimate her Dom., she's quite good at dueling, and she'll have no problem with wiping the floor with you face."
Dominic turned around and rolled his eyes, "Sure Severus, your just trying to intimidate me. I won't even try and I'll beat her."
Severus chuckled as he wrapped the towel around his neck, "Don't say I didn't warn you."
Dominic just walked confidently to where Evelyn was flexing her arm and neck. He placed the mask back on and faced Evelyn. She stood up straight and brought up her Rapier to her face, Dominic followed suit, they bowed at each other. Dominic waited for her to make the first move....
Big mistake....
Evelyn let out a fierce yell as she ran straight at him her sword above her head, Dominic blocked her attack at the last second, with only one thing on his mind.
*Mierda*
Evelyn's attack were mealy starting and at some points Dominic was forced to run. She seemed to enjoy the chase, but soon tired of it and flipped over his head. She brought her Rapier down and Dominic dodged it. He started getting angry and finally attacked her, he brought his sword to her side and she blocked it with her own attack. They pushed their weight on the Rapiers and stayed that way until Dominic's weight forced Evelyn to move back. Their Rapiers moved quickly as they both tried to bring the other down, Dominic wanted to win and Evelyn wanted to prove herself.
Severus watched this with an entertained look on his face, he had even gone as far as asking one of the house elves to bring him lunch. He sat on the table swinging his legs and humming as he ate his chicken sandwich. The top padding of his gear was on the floor so he was wearing a black muscle shirt with a linen towel around his neck, and still wore the padded pants.
Dominic and Evelyn circled each other trying to find a weakness on the person in front of him. Their hearts were racing, the adrenaline was pumping, and their breathing was becoming jagged. Evelyn got one good swing that made Dominic fumble back, she flipped to his side and brought her Rapier to his neck.
"I've won, drop the sword."
"I don't think so Evelyn."
He wrapped his ankle around hers from the inside of her leg and tripped her, she was forced to let go of both him and her Rapier. Dominic placed his Rapier in its sheath at his side, he then took off his mask and held out an arm to help her up like she had. She took it and took her own mask off, she smirked at him.
"That was good, but next time I won't let my guard down."
She collected her Rapier and placed it in its sheath which was magic'd so that it would not bother her as she fenced. She grabbed a water bottle from the table and gave a peck on his cheek to Severus who was eating another Sandwich. He kissed her back on her forehead and she left.
As soon as she left, Dominic collapsed on an armchair next to the table, he had never felt so exhausted in his life. Every single muscle in his body was screaming with pain. He looked up at Severus who was wearing an 'I Told You So,' look on his face.
"If that's the way she duels when she lets her guard down, I would hate to see your sister when she DOESN'T let her grad down."
"I warned you..." Said Severus on the verge to taking another bite.
"Remind me to never again question your warnings."
Severus swallowed his food. "You do realized that she's going to want a rematch tomorrow since you won."
Dominic's lower lip quivered at the thought, he let out a small whimper as he imagined himself chopped off into little pieces as Evelyn stood over him with her Rapier laughing maniacally. He was a few seconds away from crying like a baby and Severus just gave him a sympathetic smile.
"If you want I'll tell her you don't feel up to it."
Dominic sat up and shook his head as he slowly took of the top padding off, he wore a dark green T-shirt that clung to his sweaty torso.
"And look like a wimp, hell no, I'll be fine tomorrow."
Severus jumped off the table, "Whatever you say Dom., I'm going to head up to my room." He looked at him with a wicked smile on his lips, "Do you want me to get a few of the house elves to carry your carcass to your room."
Dominic responded by sticking his middle finger at him, this made Severus retaliate by laughing. Dominic was to tired to throw his helmet at his friend, though the thought was tempting, he just stood and grabbed his things and followed Severus upstairs and headed off into his bedroom.
~*~
Rosemary awoke to someone kissing her on the lips, she moaned and kissed back. When she broke the kiss she saw Tom sitting next to her on the bed. She wrapped herself around his chest.
"What are you doing here?"
"Lily owled me asking me to help you with the preparations." He brought her face to look at him, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I forgot, I was so stressed out with everything I just...."
He gave her a comforting squeeze, "Shhhhh don't worry, I'll take care of everything. You just rest." She nodded and laid back down, he gave her a peck on her lips before he left the room.
When he reached the office he was met up with Petunia who knew he was here, she had organized the paper work for him to go through it. He sat next to her on the floor, he was wearing slacks and a black sweater, his black trenchcoat he wore when he had first arrived was draped over an armchair. Petunia showed him what her mother had already filled out and what still needed to be done.
After a few hours of filling out paper work Petunia informed him that someone had to go to the funeral home to turn everything in and tell them that the funeral was to take place on Christmas morning. Tom told her that he would take care of it and sent her to rest. He wrapped her in a hug that he saw she needed.
"Everything will be all right Petunia. You'll see."
Petunia nodded, "Thanks Tom."
He gave her a squeeze before she left. Tom then went over to all the forms and collected the ones that were supposed to go to the funeral home. He grabbed the address from the desk grabbed his coat and left with a laud pop. He arrived a block away from his location in an alley. He walked the rest of the way, after meeting up with the Undertaker, Tom was led to a room where Dillands body was being kept in storage. The Undertaker left Tom alone with Dilland. Tom looked at the body with a smirk.
"So we finally meet face to face. The man who took care of my daughter and Rosemary. A pleasure to meat you."
He mockingly bowed at Dillands still form, "I hope there are no hard feelings, you know with me being the reason of your sudden death. Oh wait a minute, you didn't know that did you? Silly me, well now you know. I did it so that I can be with Rosemary and Lily. What about Petunia you ask, well, I seem to have grown fond of the girl, I will treat her as one of my own. Don't worry I'll take good care of you....MY family. Sweat dreams Mr. Evans."
With a swish of his black trenchcoat Tom left the room, leaving behind Dillands cold motionless body.
~*~
A few days later.........
I looked passed the big black wooden casket and see the people gathered around to say good-bye to him. I had already said my good-byes in the quiet of his room. I helped cleaning him up and combed his hair and read him his favorite poem, never did I once cry in his presence. I waited until I was back in my own room, clinging to a worn blanket that smelled just like him, mint and cigar. It was a strong smell but it gave me comfort in the cold nights before his funeral. I had asked my mother to bury him on Christmas, so that I could have my final Holiday with him.
I looked to my right and see my sister clinging to her boyfriend, who's name I have momentarily forgotten. He wasn't handsome, but my sister seemed to love him so I forgot about it. He was talking to her, trying to comfort her and she gratefully smiled at him. I looked across the casket and see my Daddy's so called friends, most of them didn't even send condolences card let alone visit him.
I saw my Daddy's stepsister looking impatiently at her watch, if I didn't already know that she was getting nothing from the Will I would have slapped her. But I knew that she would feel worse when the lawyer showed up after the services.
Revenge is a dish best served cold, for some reason that's the only thing that came to my mind as she tried to flirt with the man next to her, who in turn ignored her.
I looked to the head of the casket and saw that the priest had resumed talking. His words held no comfort, they just went in one ear and out the other, I only caught one thing from his memorized speech.
"......Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust,....."
Its starting to rain and everyone takes out their umbrellas, Eric, my fathers best friend, and the only friend who actually cared, goes over to the priest and holds his umbrella for him. The speech goes on, thing other than sadness, so it felt good. Soon I felt a warm liquid escape my eyes, the tears mixed with the rain trickling down my face.
"...As I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I shall fear no evil..."
I steel a glance over to my Mother and see that she had long ago lost the need to keep from crying, she held a white handkerchief in front of her face to make sure no one saw her. For a brief moment I see her face, she had a black vale on, but I still saw the grief and guilt written all over. I wanted to hug her and to feel the familiar warmth that only a mother could give, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Especially in front of all these people who didn't deserve to be here.
I looked away and looked up to the priest, he was finishing his monotone speech. As soon as he did, I walked up a bit and waited for my sister and mother, we each placed a single white rose on top. I stayed where I was and watched as they lowered the casket. People started leaving, but I took no notice, I just looked as the roses grew smaller and darker as they were lowered into the shadows.
The rain was falling harder on my head, I felt the urge to scream, but stayed glued to the spot. If I were to fall in right now, I wouldn't have cared, I would have welcomed death with open arms. The cold water is starting to seep into my clothes, I felt a shiver sweep through my whole body. I take a deep breath and saw a small cloud in front of me as I exhaled. I feel someone behind me and the rain stop hitting me as they moved the umbrella over my head.
I turn my head and see Tom wearing a black suit and a black heavy trenchcoat, he offers a small concerned smile. I couldn't contain it anymore and let out a sob, I wrap my arms around him, and instantly feel warmth. I feel him hug back with one hand, still holding on to the umbrella. He says nothing to me but rubs my back in a circular motion, I cry harder.
After a few moments he gently says, "Come on we need to get you into some dry clothes."
I can't speak so I nod and let him guide me down the hill and into the Town Car. I sit next to my mother and across Petunia who had fallen asleep on her boyfriend shoulder, Tom comes in and sits next to me. He orders for the driver to head to the house. I lean on my Mother shoulder and she wraps me in her arms, she rubs my arm to try to keep me warm. I soon drifted to sleep.
I dreamt of nothing, and when I opened my eyes again I was being carried to the living room by Tom, he looked down at me and whispered. "Your mother is bringing something to eat, do you want to eat or do you want to sleep?"
"I'll eat first," my voice is horse from crying and not using it for over a week.
He nodded and set me down on the sofa he sat next to me and I rested my head on his lap, I felt so tired. He smoothed my hair down and we stayed in a comfortable silence. My mother soon appeared and set the tray of chicken soup on the coffee table. She sat on the rug and I soon followed her example, Tom joined us and we ate.
"Where's Petunia?" I asked looking around for her.
She smiled at me, "She's saying Good-bye to Vernon before he heads for home. She's been feeling better since he arrived this morning, she really likes him."
I give my mother a small smile, "Good, he seems to be nice."
The warm soup went down my sore throat, making it feel better. I hadn't realized how hungry I was until I took a spoonful of soup into my mouth. When I was done I wanted to go to sleep, but I was to tired to get up from my spot on the floor. Tom sensed this and picked me up, I felt like a toddler, but I was to tired to care. He was warm which contrasted with my coldness, and he carried me as if I was going to brake, I snuggled against him and closed my eyes.
He took me to my room where he and my Mother tuck me in and kissed me goodnight. Tom was about to follow my Mother out but I grabbed his hand, he looked down at me.
"Can you stay with me until I fall asleep?" I asked not wanting to be alone. He smiled and I moved to the side and he sat next to me, I laid my head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around me. I felt the rise and fall as he breathed, the beating of his heart lulled me into a dreamless sleep.

Rosemary sat in Dillands office going through a pile of paperwork, her hair was disheveled the bags under her eyes were clearly visible as the winter sun shown through the windows. There were many preparations to be done for the funeral but Rosemary was not even close to being halfway done. She hadn't slept well since Dilland had passed away, the small print on the forms were getting blurry and hard to read. Rosemary tiredly rubbed her eyes and let out a frustrated sigh, she leaned back on the chair and stretched out her hands and wrists. She looked down at her bracelet and had an incredible urge to contact Tom, but the thought of Lily kept her from doing so.
A knock on the door made her sit up, in walked Lily holding a tray filled with sandwiches and some juice. Rosemary gave her a grateful smile as Lily set the tray on a table by a window. Rosemary sat on one of the chairs and Lily sat across from her.
"Petunia told me that you hadn't eaten yet so I made you lunch." Lily's voice was small and tired. She wore one of the robes that her Mother had bought her at Diagon Alley. They were simple and black, the only color that everyone in the house wore since Dilland's passing, even the small staff were as sad as the family was, they worked harder and wore their black uniforms instead of their navy blue.
"I forgot to, I was filling out the paper work that the lawyer had left me," Rosemary wasn't really hungry, but ate a few sandwiches anyway.
"Why doesn't the lawyer do this, isn't it his job?"
Rosemary cracked a tired smile, "No, his job is only to read the will and to provide the paper work. I have no problem with doing it, but I don't understand most of the forms, and since I can't sleep, I can't even read the words. At least you and your sister are helping with the flowers and sending out the letters, it gives me less things to do."
"When are we going to bury him?" Asked Lily looking out the window.
"I was thinking the day after tomorrow, but that is if I can finish everything by tonight."
Lily looked at her mother, "How about on Christmas? It was his favorite holiday and he would have wanted it."
Rosemary smiled, "Your right, he would have wanted us to have the funeral on Christmas. It also gives me plenty of time to make sure everything goes well."
Rosemary leaned back tiredly to her chair, she longed to fall asleep but there was still more work to be done. Lily saw how tired her mother was, she stood and took her mothers hand forcing her to stand, without a word Lily led Rosemary to the master bed room. The machines that had kept Dilland alive had been cleared, Dilland himself had long since been taken by the Undertaker to the funeral home, where they were keeping him preserved until the day of the funeral. Rosemary was too tired to refuse and let Lily take of her shoes and tuck her in. She had almost drifted off to sleep when she felt Lily give her a kiss on her forehead. She heard her whisper.
"I forgive you about everything Mommy,"
Rosemary gave her a tired and sleepy smile, "Thank you sweetheart you don't know how much that means to me."
She drifted off to sleep as Lily left the room and headed for her own. When she reached her room she headed for her desk, she took out a quill and piece of parchment. She wrote a quick note, her quill made laud scratches in the still room. Nagini was asleep in her tank and Ciaron was perched somewhere outside her window. After signing her name at the bottom, she rolled up the parchment and walked to her window.
"Ciaron! Come here darling!"
Ciaron was a proud bird, and took his deliveries seriously, he immediately swopped in. His black feathers were always neat and he always held his head up in an arrogant manner. Lily petted his head as he perched on her shoulder.
"I need you to make a delivery, it has to be done as fast as you can. Can you do that for me?"
Ciaron rubbed the side of his beak against her cheek. He held out his leg waiting as Lily tied the letter with a piece of soft ribbon. Before lifting off Ciaron perched himself on Lily's arm, and she brought him up to meet her in the eye.
"Give this to Tom."
A loud snap was heard as Ciaron expanded his powerful wings and flapped them in the air. Lily watched him as he flew, he grew small until he was no more than a dot in the air. She then went to her bed and took a much needed nap.
~*~
Lord Voldemort sat at the head of the table as he witnessed his Death Eaters arguing over something. It was mostly Tristan Malfoy against Belinda Anguis who were sitting on either side of him. They had been yelling at each other for the last 20 minutes, neither of them looked like they were giving up anytime soon. Lord Voldemort was getting tired of this so he waved his wand and let out venom green sparks. There was immediate silence, but it didn't stop the glares that Belinda was giving to Tristan.
"Can we get on with the meeting or are you going to continue bickering like children."
There was an eerie silence, everyone present was to afraid to say anything that would anger the dark lord. He leaned back into his chair and waved a hand at Belinda to continue what she had been saying before Tristan had interrupted. She stood up from her chair and started speaking.
"As I was saying before I was RUDELY interrupted," Tristan glared at her and she did the same, "we need to organize a grand scale attack on the Ministry, each team will be in charge of something, and it is their job to make sure that it is followed through. It has come to Lord Voldemorts attention that Dumbledore is leading the Aurors out of the ministry for undercover work, most of them will be out of the country. Its the perfect time to attack since the ministry will be defenseless and unguarded. I'm sure you all agree with this."
She was looking at Tristan daring him to question the plan, she smirked as she saw that he was biting his lip to keep from saying a word. She grabbed her wand and waved it in the air, black folders soon flew into the room and landed in front of Death Eater.
"Everything you need to know is in the folder in front of you, including what you and your team's assignments are. You are to inform your team tonight of what they have to do, you have one week until the next meeting. You are then to explain how far along you are with your progress."
Everyone looked through their own folders making mental notes as the skimmed through the information. Tristan seemed angry that Belinda had everything well organized and that Lord Voldemort was nodding with approval at her as he looked at the folder in front of him.
Lord Voldemort conjured up a quill and started marking off things on the parchment, and muttered to himself. He then looked back up to Belinda and motioned for her to sit down, she did and he stood up.
"Since our last meeting place was compromised we had today's meeting here at Belinda's home. Our next meeting will have to be at someone else's home until we find a new headquarters. Any volunteers?"
Tristan was about to respond but someone else beat him to it, "I'll be more than glad to host the next meeting, my Lord."
Lord Voldemort grinned, "Magnus, good then its settled we shall have the next meeting at Snape Manor. You are all dismissed."
Most from the Inner Circle left as soon as they were able to, rushing off to find their teams and get started in their tasks. Belinda had already informed her own team so she leaned back on her chair and grinned at Tristan who was glaring at her. Magnus was sitting next to her and Lord Voldemort was still at the head of the table.
"Magnus, I want you to make sure that your house is secure for next weeks meeting. Have Tristan help you add extra security around the premises, and when you are through head back to the Ministry and get as much information as you can get without looking suspicious. Inform Belinda of anything useful."
Lord Voldemort looked at Tristan, "After helping out Magnus I need you to go to the old headquarters and destroy any proof that we were there."
Both men nodded and left with two loud pops. Belinda turned towards Tom. He was tired and was trying to stretch out his tired back, Belinda stood and went behind his chair, she started massaging his shoulders expertly. He relaxed under her hands, he closed his eyes.
"I never knew you were so good at this Belinda," he was being lulled to sleep and rested his head against his chest.
Belinda was a cunning little trollop so she started rubbing on the back of his neck using a feather light touch. Her voice went into a seductive whisper, "There are a lot of things that I'm good at, I could show you sometimes if you'd like?"
Tom was half awake and just muttered, "That would be nice...."
Belinda smiled wickedly and walked around him, she sat on his lap and brought his face up to hers and captured his lips with her own. Tom kissed back sleepily thinking it was Rosemary, he wrapped his hands around her waist deepening the kiss. Belinda started unbuttoning Toms robes without braking the kiss. He wore no shirt underneath his robes, his well sculpted chest was exposed. Belinda broke the kiss only to start trailing kisses down his neck and his chest. Tom leaned into his chair ready to fall asleep when a noise stopped him.
Tap
Tap
Tap
He jumped up as he saw Ciaron on the window tapping his beak against the glass. Belinda had been sent sprawling to the floor barely missing the table, but Tom didn't notice her. He ran up to the window to let the poor bird out of the cold. Ciarons feathers had snow all over them, he shook them off and perched himself on Toms arm. Tom quickly took the note and read it, when he was done he wore a big smile on his face. Ciaron flew out the window, Tom ran back towards the table and grabbed his folder.
"I got to go, bye Belinda."
He apparated away, completely oblivious to the fact that Belinda had been on his lap a few minutes earlier kissing his still exposed chest, and was now on the floor fuming. She was angry, hot, and bothered, in other words she was horny. She stood up and punched the back of the chair that Tom had been sitting on.

Clink
Clank
Clink!
Dominic and Severus swung their Rapiers at each other, the sound of steel hitting steel was clearly heard in the large Rec. Room as the two boys tried to beat the other. They had been at it for over an hour, but neither one was giving up.
"Give up Snape, you can't win!" panted Dominic as they circled each other, Severus stretched out his tired wrist.
"Never! Its you who can't win, LeFay!"
They stretched their necks a bit before they lunged at the other with full force. The sleek and swift movements that both had mastered long ago made them both forces to be dealt with. Severus flipped over Dominic never stopping his Rapier from colliding with Dominic's. He tried to strike from behind but Dominic blocked it by bringing his sword over his head. The two weapons were still touching as Dominic whirled around to face Severus, though they were both wearing masks, they could still see most of the others eyes.
"Are you two done yet?"
Dominic looked up and Severus took this opportunity to strike Dominic's Rapier out of his hand, it landed with a laud clang. Dominic gulped as Severus pointed his Rapier to Dominic's face.
His voice was soft and to almost a whisper,"As I said LeFay, you are the one can't win."
Evelyn stood by the door way clapping her hands, she wore padding made out of black material instead of the normal white. She had set her helmet and Rapier on the floor, her black hair was tied in a loose ponytail and she wore an amused smile.
"Nice one Severus."
Severus took of his mask, his hair was not in its normal slicked back neat style, but it was wild and framed his face that wore a grin. He bowed mockingly, a dramatic look was plastered on his pale face.
"Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all night."
Dominic didn't find this funny and picked up his sword, he was muttering in Spanish to himself and took off his own mask his hair was just as disarrayed as Severus, but his was longer and went passed his cheek.
"That is not very sportsman like Severus."
Severus smirked at him as he started taking off the padding he was wearing, "Your just sore because I won, and you can't stand loosing."
Evelyn was tapping her foot impatiently as Dominic and Severus debated amongst themselves. She finally gave up and went up to Dominic.
"Are you going to duel with me or are you afraid of loosing again? Because if your not then you and my brother need to leave so that I can practice."
Dominic realized that she was still in the room, he gave her a sheepish smile and nodded. "Ooh, Yeah I'll duel," he smirked, "and I'll win too."
Severus just shook his head as Dominic tried to act normal around his sister, he went over to the table at the side and jumped up on it and sat with his legs crossed. He grabbed a water bottle and a towel.
"If I were you Dominic, I wouldn't be so confidant when your going against Evelyn."
Dominic walked over to him and took the water bottle that Severus had in his hand with a smirk. He had been about to drink from it, Severus narrowed his eyes at him and as Dominic placed the bottle top to his mouth, Severus 'accidentally' hit it with his elbow. Dominic started choking on the water and Severus jumped off the table and went behind him.
"Here Dom.," He said in a sarcastic voice, "Let me HELP you!"
He brought his hands together into a big fist and......
WHACK!!!
Dominic was now in the floor, rubbing his back with a pout. (AN: O_O hehehe) He looked up at Severus who gave him an innocent look.
[AN:I bet we can all see the halo over his head O:) ....well more like
^^
o_o ......either way,aww how cute]
Evelyn giggled, she walked over to Dominic and held out her gloved hand, "Here take my hand before my dear Brother tries to 'help' you again."
Dominic took her hand and blushed as she helped him up, Evelyn just smiled at him before her smile turned into a smirk. "Did my brother beat you up to badly for you to continue dueling?"
The competitive side of Dominic took over the blundering idiot that usually appeared when Evelyn was around, he grinned back at her.
"Don't worry, I'll go easy on you."
Evelyn just raised an eyebrow, she glanced over to Severus who gave her a small wink, and walked back to where she had set her equipment. She did a few stretches before putting her mask on, she took her Rapier and swished the air trying to warm up. Dominic just turned around to were Severus was sitting on the table again drinking another bottle of water with a content look on his face. Dominic now knew not to mess with Severus when he was thirsty so he grabbed another bottle, as soon as he grabbed his another bottle appeared in its place. He gulped it down quickly and was about to go over to Evelyn when Severus' voice stopped him.
"Don't underestimate her Dom., she's quite good at dueling, and she'll have no problem with wiping the floor with you face."
Dominic turned around and rolled his eyes, "Sure Severus, your just trying to intimidate me. I won't even try and I'll beat her."
Severus chuckled as he wrapped the towel around his neck, "Don't say I didn't warn you."
Dominic just walked confidently to where Evelyn was flexing her arm and neck. He placed the mask back on and faced Evelyn. She stood up straight and brought up her Rapier to her face, Dominic followed suit, they bowed at each other. Dominic waited for her to make the first move....
Big mistake....
Evelyn let out a fierce yell as she ran straight at him her sword above her head, Dominic blocked her attack at the last second, with only one thing on his mind.
*Mierda*
Evelyn's attack were mealy starting and at some points Dominic was forced to run. She seemed to enjoy the chase, but soon tired of it and flipped over his head. She brought her Rapier down and Dominic dodged it. He started getting angry and finally attacked her, he brought his sword to her side and she blocked it with her own attack. They pushed their weight on the Rapiers and stayed that way until Dominic's weight forced Evelyn to move back. Their Rapiers moved quickly as they both tried to bring the other down, Dominic wanted to win and Evelyn wanted to prove herself.
Severus watched this with an entertained look on his face, he had even gone as far as asking one of the house elves to bring him lunch. He sat on the table swinging his legs and humming as he ate his chicken sandwich. The top padding of his gear was on the floor so he was wearing a black muscle shirt with a linen towel around his neck, and still wore the padded pants.
Dominic and Evelyn circled each other trying to find a weakness on the person in front of him. Their hearts were racing, the adrenaline was pumping, and their breathing was becoming jagged. Evelyn got one good swing that made Dominic fumble back, she flipped to his side and brought her Rapier to his neck.
"I've won, drop the sword."
"I don't think so Evelyn."
He wrapped his ankle around hers from the inside of her leg and tripped her, she was forced to let go of both him and her Rapier. Dominic placed his Rapier in its sheath at his side, he then took off his mask and held out an arm to help her up like she had. She took it and took her own mask off, she smirked at him.
"That was good, but next time I won't let my guard down."
She collected her Rapier and placed it in its sheath which was magic'd so that it would not bother her as she fenced. She grabbed a water bottle from the table and gave a peck on his cheek to Severus who was eating another Sandwich. He kissed her back on her forehead and she left.
As soon as she left, Dominic collapsed on an armchair next to the table, he had never felt so exhausted in his life. Every single muscle in his body was screaming with pain. He looked up at Severus who was wearing an 'I Told You So,' look on his face.
"If that's the way she duels when she lets her guard down, I would hate to see your sister when she DOESN'T let her grad down."
"I warned you..." Said Severus on the verge to taking another bite.
"Remind me to never again question your warnings."
Severus swallowed his food. "You do realized that she's going to want a rematch tomorrow since you won."
Dominic's lower lip quivered at the thought, he let out a small whimper as he imagined himself chopped off into little pieces as Evelyn stood over him with her Rapier laughing maniacally. He was a few seconds away from crying like a baby and Severus just gave him a sympathetic smile.
"If you want I'll tell her you don't feel up to it."
Dominic sat up and shook his head as he slowly took of the top padding off, he wore a dark green T-shirt that clung to his sweaty torso.
"And look like a wimp, hell no, I'll be fine tomorrow."
Severus jumped off the table, "Whatever you say Dom., I'm going to head up to my room." He looked at him with a wicked smile on his lips, "Do you want me to get a few of the house elves to carry your carcass to your room."
Dominic responded by sticking his middle finger at him, this made Severus retaliate by laughing. Dominic was to tired to throw his helmet at his friend, though the thought was tempting, he just stood and grabbed his things and followed Severus upstairs and headed off into his bedroom.
~*~
Rosemary awoke to someone kissing her on the lips, she moaned and kissed back. When she broke the kiss she saw Tom sitting next to her on the bed. She wrapped herself around his chest.
"What are you doing here?"
"Lily owled me asking me to help you with the preparations." He brought her face to look at him, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I forgot, I was so stressed out with everything I just...."
He gave her a comforting squeeze, "Shhhhh don't worry, I'll take care of everything. You just rest." She nodded and laid back down, he gave her a peck on her lips before he left the room.
When he reached the office he was met up with Petunia who knew he was here, she had organized the paper work for him to go through it. He sat next to her on the floor, he was wearing slacks and a black sweater, his black trenchcoat he wore when he had first arrived was draped over an armchair. Petunia showed him what her mother had already filled out and what still needed to be done.
After a few hours of filling out paper work Petunia informed him that someone had to go to the funeral home to turn everything in and tell them that the funeral was to take place on Christmas morning. Tom told her that he would take care of it and sent her to rest. He wrapped her in a hug that he saw she needed.
"Everything will be all right Petunia. You'll see."
Petunia nodded, "Thanks Tom."
He gave her a squeeze before she left. Tom then went over to all the forms and collected the ones that were supposed to go to the funeral home. He grabbed the address from the desk grabbed his coat and left with a laud pop. He arrived a block away from his location in an alley. He walked the rest of the way, after meeting up with the Undertaker, Tom was led to a room where Dillands body was being kept in storage. The Undertaker left Tom alone with Dilland. Tom looked at the body with a smirk.
"So we finally meet face to face. The man who took care of my daughter and Rosemary. A pleasure to meat you."
He mockingly bowed at Dillands still form, "I hope there are no hard feelings, you know with me being the reason of your sudden death. Oh wait a minute, you didn't know that did you? Silly me, well now you know. I did it so that I can be with Rosemary and Lily. What about Petunia you ask, well, I seem to have grown fond of the girl, I will treat her as one of my own. Don't worry I'll take good care of you....MY family. Sweat dreams Mr. Evans."
With a swish of his black trenchcoat Tom left the room, leaving behind Dillands cold motionless body.
~*~
A few days later.........
I looked passed the big black wooden casket and see the people gathered around to say good-bye to him. I had already said my good-byes in the quiet of his room. I helped cleaning him up and combed his hair and read him his favorite poem, never did I once cry in his presence. I waited until I was back in my own room, clinging to a worn blanket that smelled just like him, mint and cigar. It was a strong smell but it gave me comfort in the cold nights before his funeral. I had asked my mother to bury him on Christmas, so that I could have my final Holiday with him.
I looked to my right and see my sister clinging to her boyfriend, who's name I have momentarily forgotten. He wasn't handsome, but my sister seemed to love him so I forgot about it. He was talking to her, trying to comfort her and she gratefully smiled at him. I looked across the casket and see my Daddy's so called friends, most of them didn't even send condolences card let alone visit him.
I saw my Daddy's stepsister looking impatiently at her watch, if I didn't already know that she was getting nothing from the Will I would have slapped her. But I knew that she would feel worse when the lawyer showed up after the services.
Revenge is a dish best served cold, for some reason that's the only thing that came to my mind as she tried to flirt with the man next to her, who in turn ignored her.
I looked to the head of the casket and saw that the priest had resumed talking. His words held no comfort, they just went in one ear and out the other, I only caught one thing from his memorized speech.
"......Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust,....."
Its starting to rain and everyone takes out their umbrellas, Eric, my fathers best friend, and the only friend who actually cared, goes over to the priest and holds his umbrella for him. The speech goes on, thing other than sadness, so it felt good. Soon I felt a warm liquid escape my eyes, the tears mixed with the rain trickling down my face.
"...As I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I shall fear no evil..."
I steel a glance over to my Mother and see that she had long ago lost the need to keep from crying, she held a white handkerchief in front of her face to make sure no one saw her. For a brief moment I see her face, she had a black vale on, but I still saw the grief and guilt written all over. I wanted to hug her and to feel the familiar warmth that only a mother could give, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Especially in front of all these people who didn't deserve to be here.
I looked away and looked up to the priest, he was finishing his monotone speech. As soon as he did, I walked up a bit and waited for my sister and mother, we each placed a single white rose on top. I stayed where I was and watched as they lowered the casket. People started leaving, but I took no notice, I just looked as the roses grew smaller and darker as they were lowered into the shadows.
The rain was falling harder on my head, I felt the urge to scream, but stayed glued to the spot. If I were to fall in right now, I wouldn't have cared, I would have welcomed death with open arms. The cold water is starting to seep into my clothes, I felt a shiver sweep through my whole body. I take a deep breath and saw a small cloud in front of me as I exhaled. I feel someone behind me and the rain stop hitting me as they moved the umbrella over my head.
I turn my head and see Tom wearing a black suit and a black heavy trenchcoat, he offers a small concerned smile. I couldn't contain it anymore and let out a sob, I wrap my arms around him, and instantly feel warmth. I feel him hug back with one hand, still holding on to the umbrella. He says nothing to me but rubs my back in a circular motion, I cry harder.
After a few moments he gently says, "Come on we need to get you into some dry clothes."
I can't speak so I nod and let him guide me down the hill and into the Town Car. I sit next to my mother and across Petunia who had fallen asleep on her boyfriend shoulder, Tom comes in and sits next to me. He orders for the driver to head to the house. I lean on my Mother shoulder and she wraps me in her arms, she rubs my arm to try to keep me warm. I soon drifted to sleep.
I dreamt of nothing, and when I opened my eyes again I was being carried to the living room by Tom, he looked down at me and whispered. "Your mother is bringing something to eat, do you want to eat or do you want to sleep?"
"I'll eat first," my voice is horse from crying and not using it for over a week.
He nodded and set me down on the sofa he sat next to me and I rested my head on his lap, I felt so tired. He smoothed my hair down and we stayed in a comfortable silence. My mother soon appeared and set the tray of chicken soup on the coffee table. She sat on the rug and I soon followed her example, Tom joined us and we ate.
"Where's Petunia?" I asked looking around for her.
She smiled at me, "She's saying Good-bye to Vernon before he heads for home. She's been feeling better since he arrived this morning, she really likes him."
I give my mother a small smile, "Good, he seems to be nice."
The warm soup went down my sore throat, making it feel better. I hadn't realized how hungry I was until I took a spoonful of soup into my mouth. When I was done I wanted to go to sleep, but I was to tired to get up from my spot on the floor. Tom sensed this and picked me up, I felt like a toddler, but I was to tired to care. He was warm which contrasted with my coldness, and he carried me as if I was going to brake, I snuggled against him and closed my eyes.
He took me to my room where he and my Mother tuck me in and kissed me goodnight. Tom was about to follow my Mother out but I grabbed his hand, he looked down at me.
"Can you stay with me until I fall asleep?" I asked not wanting to be alone. He smiled and I moved to the side and he sat next to me, I laid my head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around me. I felt the rise and fall as he breathed, the beating of his heart lulled me into a dreamless sleep.
