When Hathor, the owl I purchased last week through Lucius came swooping down in my office with a parchment on its legs.
I knew that it brought trouble.
The bloody bird tried to peck out my eyes.
Looking up to it, glaring it puffed out his chest as if proud at what he did.
I have a feeling that Potter has something to do with it.
Pinching the bridge of my nose knowing that if I opened the parchment in my hands will bring a headache.
Deciding between burning the letter or not, Nagini, my familiar curled around my shoulders.
Who sent you a letter? She hissed out.
Sighing out of character, I replied. A Headache.
I did not know that headaches can send a letter hatchling. An inkling feeling that if Nagini was a human she would have raised a brow at my direction.
Neither did I.
Well, are you going to read it? She asked.
I'm still deciding.
Open it hatchling, I'm curious what a headache has to say.
Not wanting to argue with my familiar I opened the parchment.
'Tommy,
My eye twitched in annoyance.
How brave, the headache calling you Tommy. I like this headache. Nagini said. Nodding her head giving permission.
How dare you order and threaten me on my birthday?!
Don't bother coming.
I will slam the door on your face if you did.
Hyacinth Potter'
Potter? Isn't that the name of the promised dinner for me Tom? Nagini asked.
Calming myself. That brat have guts to tell me this. Yes, it was but I changed my mind. She's something precious to me Nagini.
Precious?
Yes, she's like you my dear.
My familiar slithered down to my lap. Like me? A horcrux?
Yes.
So she's not dinner anymore?
Unfortunately, my dear.
She hissed lowly. Yes, unfortunately indeed. It's alright hatchling I like her.
I stared at the snake surprised.
The girl has guts. Giving you headaches, calling Tommy. I like her, she brings out the old you.
I don't want to be the old me. I hissed out angrily.
Is it such a bad thing hatchling? Being the real you? She hissed out crawling out of my lap then head out the door of my office.
