Chapter 27 ~The Knights~

"Eileen are you okay?" asked Jezabelle the next day at breakfast. "Yeah, I just met someone. The only issue is they are a muggle." said Eileen and Maria replied "That is all good. Have you told your parents? What is his name?" Julietta looked up from her book and Eileen looked shocked at how open everyone was to the muggle man. "His name is Tobias Snape. My parents would kill me if they ever found out. I would be disowned and kicked out. Besides Tobias doesn't even know about magic." No one knew what to say. It was a predicament that none of them had been in before. "Wait until you have moved out. They are sure to disown you so make sure that you love him and that you are steady on your feet. Once you no longer rely on your parents then tell them." advised Julietta and Eileen nodded. "Very well. I'll just have to wait until the year is over. Now let's go to class."

Tom and Julietta were deep in the forbidden forest. "Again!" ordered Tom and a series of hisses came out of Julietta's mouth. "You are better than this, again," said Tom and Julietta hissed again. Tom had decided that Julietta needed to speak fluent parseltongue. Julietta had happily agreed and four hours in Julietta was tired. She still looked stunning but her hair was falling out of its ponytail, much to Tom's joy, and she was starting to look a tiny bit flustered. Normally this would be shocking but after four hours of ordering snakes around, she had become slightly tired. "That is better, now tell it to jump." After a few hisses, the snake jumped. "That is enough for the day, we should return to the school now." said Tom and Julietta answered "No, now it is your turn. We are not leaving until you produce a patronus." 

Tom raised an eyebrow then raised his wand. After a few tries, he let his hand down and shouted "I can't do it. The only few who can do a patronus are the worthy, the ones with happy memories, and the pure of heart." Julietta laughed cruelly. "I didn't peg you as one to give up, Thomas. Maybe you are unworthy. I have seen you been happy so maybe you just aren't worthy." said Julietta and Tom looked furious. He was about to leave but he wouldn't let himself. He raised his arm once again and growled the spell. A thestral flew out of his wand and up into the air. "Is it?" asked Julietta and Tom answered "It is. The thing that makes me happiest, the only pure part about me, and another thing I am unworthy of." 

Tom pulled Julietta to him and kissed her with all he had. It was burning with passion and a fiery desire. He pulled at her white hair until it dropped down in stunning waves. Julietta knew what buttons to press to make him succeed. The only reason he could perform a patronus was thanks to her. She was his happy memory so it was only fitting his patronus was a representation of her. "We should be getting back to school Thomas. They will be questioning where we are," said Julietta and Tom scowled but followed her anyway. Every day Tom was slowly losing more control when it came to her. Slowly he was becoming more and more determined to keep her safe. Every day he lost a piece of his sanity to her. 

"I would set fire to myself just to keep you warm," said Tom as they were about to part ways. "Thomas never destroy yourself just for someone else. People who let relationships define them only end up hurt." As Julietta returned to her dormitory she was thankful to be met with an empty room. He was getting extremely attached. Julietta was worried as she made him feel emotion. The issue with that was before he just pushed every emotion away whereas now she opened Pandora's box once again letting out some of the hate he had previously released before. 

Tom had gathered his Knights in the Room of Requirement. "Sir, are you sure that your attachment to the girl isn't taking time away from our mission." asked a young ambitious child. The only problem with him is his parents had given him everything he wanted. They never taught him that there are moments where you should stay silent. If his parents had been better parents he wouldn't be withering on the floor in pain due to the Cruciatus Curse. "I will make a deal with you all. Anyone of you who can beat Julietta Goldwood in a duel can run The Knights of Walpurgis. Until then I would advise you all to keep silent on the matter or you will find yourself in incredible pain." snarled Tom before waving his hand.

The students all scampered out of the room in fear that they would also be met with Tom's wrath. They all knew that if challenged they would be bet in a duel by Julietta Goldwood in an instance. Their leader was decades in advance to them and if she could beat him they would stand no chance against her. Even the boy who was screaming only a few seconds ago peeled himself off the stone floor and left the room. "What do you want Malfoy?" asked Tom as Abraxas Malfoy stayed behind once everyone had gone. "Are you sure you want to do this, my Lord? People will be after you as you cleanse the Earth of Mudbloods. You may put the girl in danger. Of course, you would be able to protect her my Lord and she would be able to protect herself but what if you have children?" With that Abraxas disappeared into the night knowing not to say anymore in case he angered his leader. Normally Tom would not let the opinions of pathetic children change his mind but things were different when it came to Julietta.
