"The Serpent's Teeth"
(A Tom Riddle love story)

23th December 1944
Monday

"Take that away! Take that away! "

I cry hysterically in Toms living room and bounce up and down.

Looking for the cups, I came across his Potion stock cabinet and knocked over a glass with flabby, pickled lizards tails.

The whole disgusting broth ran down my cleavage, clothes and forearms.

"Take it away," I screech and shiver with disgust.

Once he assess the situation and brought his facial expressions under control, Tom comes over and frees me from the nasty layer and the tails with a simple whoosh of his wand and everything is back neatly in the closet.

"What where you trying to do?"
He asks as seriously as possible, but this time it even fails him.

"I wanted to make tea," I mumble and open another cabinet with dishes.

But in the third cabinet I find what I was looking for.
There are glasses, cups and teapot.

Now I just have to find the tea.

Tom leans against the counter, watching me as I open all his drawers.

"Who keeps the tea in the bottom drawer?"
I mumble annoyed, when I finally hang two bags of black tea in the teapot with hot water.

"I do" he smiles and takes the cups the seating area.

Except to sleep, eat and for all activities in the bathroom we have not moved from there.

It's snowing since yesterday evening and the scenery is wrapped in a white coat.

Even the Forbidden Forest looks innocent.

"You haven't read anything to me in a long time," I state and he understands.

Sighing, he stands up and looks for a novel.

"What do you think of; My life among wolves?"

"Sure," I smile at him.

I'm wearing one of his black sweaters reaches down to half of my thighs and leggings.

I just feel really cozy.
