❝ i had always had issues with sharing, but when it came to her...i would kill before i had to share her ❞

"Well, it appears we've gotten everything," Tom said as he and Nova walked around Diagon Alley. Uncle Lance had taken the two of them there and asked them to meet up with him when they were finished, so that's where Tom was heading.

"Wait! I want to get an owl!" Nova exclaimed, pulling Tom in the direction of the fluffy creatures. Her eyes were trained on a gray owl with red eyes and a loud squawk.

"Nova, are you serious?" Tom asked and Nova nodded, reaching into the owl's cage to pet him. He lowered his head to let her pet him. Nova looked at Tom with wide eyes. "Get it," Tom sighed, defeated.

Nova squealed and ran inside to pay for him. Tom looked at the owl. "She loves me more," Tom grumbled and the owl squawked in response, biting at him. Tom growled at the thing before Nova came back out, a bag of necessities in one hand. She grabbed the owl's cage. Tom took the bag from Nova's hand, wrapping his around her's.

"What should I name him?" Nova asked, smiling at the owl and then up at Tom. "Merlin's ass, because he's a litt―!" Nova raised an eyebrow at him and Tom rolled his eyes. "Voldemort...?"

Nova grinned, nodding happily. "I love it! We can call him Morty for short!" She cheered and Tom smiled at her, tightening his grip on her hand.

Nova caught sight of her Uncle Lance and lifted the cage to show him the owl that she bought. "Look at my handsome boy! Isn't he adorable? His name is Voldemort!" She cheered and Uncle Lance smiled, nodding. Merlin and Muriel rushed forward, shouting about how cute he was. The owl puffed his chest out, looking smugly at Tom who rolled his eyes and leaned down to peck Nova's cheek. Morty started squawking loudly as if he was angry at Tom.

"He's a jealous boy," Nova giggled and smiled at Tom. "Reminds me of someone else!"

Tom wanted to argue, say he wasn't jealous, but he was. His jealousy has caused him to do many things. The only reason he's jealous is because when Nova smiles, he wants to be the only one who gets to witness it.

She's absolutely amazing, and if someone else sees it then they might want to take her from him. He's never been good at sharing.
