"Uhhh... What happened while I was gone?" Tom asks with a stunned expression on his face.

When he left his mother and his fiancé alone, his mother was acting like a hungry lion while his fiancé was a nervous wreck.

Now they are far too chummy for Tom's liking.

'There's no way that they became this close in the few hours I was gone.' Tom thought as he looked at his mother, suspicion clear in his gaze.

Seeing Tom look at her like that, the Ancient One smirks evilly in his direction. She just spent a couple of hours messing with Druella, and now she gets to mess with her son as well.

"Oh, Tom you're back." She greets her son happily. "Druella and I were just exchanging stories about you. Is it true that you opened a portal into her bedroom and saw her naked?"

Hearing his mother's question, Tom just looked at her stunned and turned to Druella with a raised eyebrow.

At least Druella had the sense to look sheepish, as she turned her head away and pretended like she wasn't in the room.

"*sigh* What the hell have you two been talking about while I was away?" Tom asks as he stares directly at his smirking mother.

"Oh, nothing. We were just trading embarrassing stories about you. Do you remember the time you accidentally portal'd into a public bath in Japan filled with naked old men?" The Ancient One asks with an ever-growing smirk.

Tom knew that bringing these two together would be a horrible idea, and this just proves him right.

His main worry was them not liking each other, but now he knows that there was something far worse to worry about.

Them liking each other is way worse.

When Druella heard the Ancient One's question, she started giggling and peaking over at Tom. Every time she would look over at him, she would start laughing harder and harder.

"That's it! You two will never be in the same room again." Tom says and opens a portal below Druella, sending her to her bedroom in Rosier Manor.

Suddenly, as Toms portal closed, another portal opens above where she sat, depositing Druella right back where she once was.

"Ugh, please don't do that again..." Druella says as she's starting to get annoyed at people moving her without her permission.

Both sides completely ignored her and glared challenging at one another.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to get what you want." The Ancient One says and points over at Druella. "You see, Druella here is going to be my new student once she graduates from Hogwarts."

As Tom hears his mother say this, he turns to Druella and receives a nod in confirmation.

Taking a deep breath, Tom calms himself and decides to just accept his new reality. Druella learning from the Ancient One is a good thing after all.

He can only hope that they stop whatever it is they're doing right now.

"*sigh* Whatever, just please stop whatever is happening right now." Tom says defeatedly and sits down beside Druella.

"I don't know what you're talking about." The Ancient One says as she pulls out a photo. "Hey, Druella. Do you want to see a picture of Tom when he was..."

————————————————————————

After spending almost an hour getting his secrets exposed and laughed at by Druella, Tom took her home and returned to Kamar-Taj soon after.

Walking into his mother's quarters, Tom found her sitting on the sofa, eating potato chips, and reading one of her mystery novels.

"Did you have fun today?" Tom asks, still slightly disgruntled about what happened earlier.

"Yes, the look of dread on your face when I exposed your dirty little secrets will fuel me for years to come." The Ancient One says without looking up from her book.

Tom strolls over and snatches the potato chips from his mother's grasp, as he takes a seat across from her.

"*crunch* I'm so happy for you, but we need to talk about something a little more serious." Tom says as he munches on his stolen goods.

Closing her book, the Ancient One glares at Tom for robbing her of her favorite snack.

"What do you need to ask me about?" She asks as the bag of potato chips disappears from Toms grasp and returns to its former owner.

As the Ancient One goes to reach into the bag, her hand meets empty air as the bag was back in Tom's hands.

The Ancient One isn't dealing with Druella anymore. Tom was taught by the Ancient One herself, so he knows many of her little tricks.

"Have you decided on whether you want to be immortal or not?" Tom asks as he continues munching.

As Tom asks this, the room's atmosphere becomes a lot more serious.

He asked her this a while ago and feels as though he gave her a good amount of time to come up with an answer.

Seeing that his mother is quiet and still looks unsure about it, Tom decided to tempt her a bit.

"If you don't want to live forever, I'm pretty sure that I can ask Lady Death to take away your immortality when you're ready to pass on. This way you can sever your connection with the dark dimension before Dormammu notices, and I get to spend more time with my mother." Tom offers, hoping she agrees.

The room becomes silent as the Ancient One thinks it over for a moment. Staring at her son's hopeful face, she didn't have the nerve to deny him at this point.

"Alright, I'll become immortal, but give me time to prepare everything. I need to collect a few things in order to sever ties with the dark dimension."
