Tom looked at his notes again and sighted. He had been so sure that that was the key to his project. He had been sure. And even now,he still believed so, even if the evidence showed the opposite. He must have made the calculations wrong, something must have missed his eyes. It had to.
He would have to ask Lily if her part of the experiment had gone awry too or if dhr had succeeded. He hoped she did. His failure was one step back for them,but he couldn't give up do easily. He wouldn't. He was confident that in the end it will work out. That they will succeed.
It had been his ambition to do this project, Albus had called him mad for having such dreams, but Tom hadn't deterred. He was set to do do. And now,he was the chief researcher of the Ministry team delegated with this project. He needed to succeed. Not only his hopes rested on this, but tme whole team's dreams too. He was their leader.
Tom chuckled. Lily would say that he was too dramatic again if she heard his line of thinking.
But he had reasons. Now he would have to charm his wife to not enter his research room. Again. It was a mess and well,the last time he had joined Draco at 's. As an excuse,he hadn't waited for her to send him there,like Draco did every time. But Draco and Hermione were young love,they had time.
Now what Tom had to do was to call Hermione. The young witch was sure to figure out his mistake quicker than he would, she had a talent for these things.
And besides she knew the experiment better than he did,that dedicated she was. And that brilliant too. Both her and Draco worked as much as him and Lily,perhaps even more so. The joys of youth…
Though he didn't consider himself old. Not at he felt the years pass, only looking at Hermione and Draco he saw how time passed.
Tom checked the clock. It was ten to two pm. Hermione should be in her lunch break at the moment. So be available to help him.
He thought at the first time he had held his daughter
"Expecto Patronum!"
"Hermione,I have an emergency"
Few minutes later a disheveled Hermione stepped out of the floo.
"What happened? Was it the project? Had something gone wrong?"
Then, taking a deep breath,she looked around the room and with a sigh ,she said
"Yep, definitely something is wrong"
Tom smiled sheepishly at her.
"I somehow messed up the calculations. I could find what went wrong myself,but with two it's easier. We can figure out quicker. And beside you know some of these better than me or Lily"
"True," conceded Hermione,"but"she grinned "it is also faster to clean on two,isn't that so?"
Tom nodded in agreement.
"And that's why you absolutely needed to call me,saying that's an emergency?"she asked an eyebrow raised.
"Yes" was his answer
