"What do you have there?"
"Nothing!" Walburga was quick to hide the object behind her back, but nothing escaped Tom these days. He was eyeing her as if he could see through her.
"Some Muggle item, isn't it." It wasn't really a question.
"No, no, just something I picked up at –"
Tom had snatched the object from behind her back before she'd even realised. He tossed it around, throwing it from hand to hand, and into the air. He tutted.
"Walburga, what have I told you about these filthy items?"
Walburga bowed her head. "They are made by filth, and I'll get a Muggle disease if I touch them."
"And yet, you continue to hide them from me."
Walburga appeared ashamed, unable to look Tom in the eye.
Tom flicked a button on the contraption and a sharp edge appeared. "Hm," he mused, "it seems to be a knife and able to open wine bottles."
"It's –"
"Silence!" Tom lashed out with the knife and blood trickled down the side of Walburga's left cheek. He moved so close to her it frightened Walburga. "Remember," he hissed, "this is your punishment from now on." He held the knife edge to her other cheek to make his point. "If I see you with another filthy item like this when a wand can do so much more, you'll get more than just a gash on your cheek. Understood?"
Trembling, Walburga nodded. Tom pecked her cheek.
"Now, my dear, why don't we enjoy a night in the library?"
Walburga nodded and followed him. She vowed never to bring another Muggle item into her life ever again.
Nor would she allow any of her future children to do so either. Imagine the consequences.
