Love and Black Magic

Chapter eleven: Options

It was a sunny day, that meant that they could go out to the garden to spend time with Severus and enjoy the tranquility of the garden. She knew it was a bit risky to leave when surely her parents would be looking for her, but she really needed to forget everything that had happened in those last days and enjoy her friends.

Calynn got up and began fixing the bed when a woman entered the room.

"Don't worry about it, I'll fix it," Mrs. Evans whispered trying not to wake her daughter. "I brought you this."

The woman handed the girl a red blouse and blue jeans. The clothes were completely ironed and washed, the girl was very grateful to the woman. The girl left the room to change. When she walked away, the woman went to wake her daughter carefully.

"Lily, it's time for breakfast, and if you want your friend to stay, you have to get up quickly," the mother said softly to her daughter. "I don't want her to escape again like the other day."

While Lily got up, her mother finished fixing the girls' bed while giving her daughter a smile. Lily did not understand how her mother could hide the fearful expressions about having Calynn at home so well, she knew that the woman was not happy at all. She left the room with some sheets to wash when she met little Black in the middle of the road.

"You can give me the pajamas if you want and accompany me down to serve you your breakfast," her friend's mother said as the girl gave her the clothes that had just been changed and gave a smile, loved Mrs. Evans' kindness and in the bottom wanted to have a mother like her.

"It's very kind of you, but I must go."

"Please, I made a couple of toasts for both of you, I'm sure they'll like them," Mrs. Evans insisted.

"It's all right," said the girl. "Thanks."

Later, both began to go down the steps while the redhead joined them, had hurried enough, because what she most wanted at that time was to make her friend stay longer. She knew that this was the only way to make the little girl happy and get her away from any danger of her own family. They sat in two chairs that were together and where a couple of toasts that looked completely appetizing were waiting for them, the smell helped them whet their appetites.

"Good morning," the girl exclaimed when she reached the dining room and took a seat next to her friend.

"How did you sleep?" Asked both parents.

"Very well," said the two girls.

The girls were given a glass of chocolate milk to accompany their breakfast, there was still an empty chair, which corresponded to Lily's sister. Petunia who was still with a sleepy expression went down a glass of milk and went back up, with that she implied that she had no intention of staying for breakfast as a family. The parents served cereal.

When the whole family was sitting at the table they turned to see the guest.

"We have something to tell you," Lily's mother began with some difficulty. Calynn was scared, she didn't like that kind of talk anymore. She couldn't know if what they would say would be good or bad. "We had the idea that you stay with us as long as necessary until you go to school with Lily," said Mrs. Evans.

"You can't do that, I can't stay here for your sake," Calynn replied with a little anger and fear at the same time. She knew that all of that was a guess from Lily.

The parents exchanged glances and the mother continued without getting angry. Apparently the parents had also agreed to help the girl.

"We ask you to stay here for your safety. Lily is very excited to have you at home." Calynn turned to see Lily. "It will only be until you enter school, it will not be forever," the woman commented with a smile on her lips.
