The day after the week before
Mon Oct 01, 2012 2:35 pm
Ianto had arrived home from Greece he had not given his mother any promises about revealing his blood status. But Ianto was very suspicious of his mother as when he spoke with her she was well acting strange like a pure blood who was planning something, something underhanded Ianto had seen that look many times when his mother was working on bring down a family reveal or covering something up.
Ianto had been worrying about this since he left Wales the last time to come home it was so annoying he knew something bad was coming.
Ianto always knew when bad things were coming.
Ianto was only hopping that Tamika was not at his house when he got there Ianto did not think he could handle her after just talking to there mother.
Ianto walked up the small path to the door of his very Muggle home and he pushed his key in to the lock and open the door.
As he entered he let out a breath he did not know he had been holding when it appeared that he was alone in his home for once.
" thank you merlin " he said as he walked over to put on some music he pushed play on the CD player and gotye started playing.

It had taken four days for Tamika to realise her brother had disappeared, the dishes had stacked up in the kitchen and supplies .. most notably of eatable food had grown low in the Parker household as Tamika went on with life as normal, ignoring her brother until his absence was felt in the gradual build up of untidiness caused by Tamika's blind spot when it came to doing any tidying up of her own. Had her brother the good sense to purchase a House Elf Tamika might never have noticed the change but by the fifth she had taken on the assurance that Ianto must have either been murdered by some evil Muggle like she saw on the tee-vee or taken on her advice to return home and decided to leave his house and possessions to his most wonderful and clever sister who was most certainly not making the most of his absense to plot her own schemes. "These trousers do awfully chafe.." Tamika spoke to the world out loud as she wheeled the bicycle that the disgusting half-Muggle teacher at Ianto's school had found for her. Tamika did not approve of anything that required her to make a unladylike effort to get around and had soon charmed the mechanisms to spin by themselves so that all she had to do was sit and try to avoid getting her skirts stuck in the chain of the infernal contraption.
She still didn't know why it had been such a big deal when the man from the Auror department had shown up and fined her for apparating into what she had thought was a abandoned construction site.. how was she supposed to know that those irritating Muggles would be swarming around with their tee-vee cameras and shouting. Since then she had been on a two month good behavior bond where she had promised to only apparate too and from work, the shame of it! Tamika was sure that she could have beaten the charges but to do so would have let everyone know that she had been foolish enough to get caught. Speaking of being caught Tamika was feeling a little light headed as she reached the squat dwelling that her brother had decided to make his hideout. Maybe she should not have had that milkshake that had tasted a little off? With a hat pulled low to hide her face she felt rather proud of her disguise, nobody had accused her of being a witch all night.. well someone had called her something like a witch, but a b instead of a w was most certainly a improvement after all.
Necessary was the mother of invention or so they said and for Tamika the lack of food and disgusting environment had been enough to push her to dare continue her investigation of Muggle life, she had heard much talk of 'Restaurants' from her work and had collected up all the strange paper money that she could find lying about the house in order to make the Muggles give her food. Not only that but she had discovered that Muggle girls did not wear long skirts and gowns but seemed to get about in the most interesting clothing.. it took Tamika a long while before she dared venture into a store with a dazzling array of strange items. Tamika could not understand why there was pictures of monkeys and elephants but she decided to use some of the money to make herself look less out of place. So happy was she with the disguise that by the end of the day she had found a Tavern and decided to explore the entire menu.. or at least until the money had run out. Now the thought of bed and writing a nice long story about a young witch who goes undercover to expose a evil Muggle plot to murder her dear brother where firstmost in mind as she left the bike in the middle of the driveway and went to let herself in. The fact that the light was on had not concerned her as Tamika had yet to understand light switches and so it wasn't until she stepped inside to find her brother playing with the machine that made noise that Tamika realised that a: her brother was home and b: she wasn't dressed. Tamika was sure matters would be less embarrassing had he walked in on her naked, better to have no clothes at all then to be seen in Muggle attire.
Just what would she do now??

Ianto was singing to Somebody that I used to know when he turned around and saw her. At first Ianto was not sure who it was but a pone closer look he noted that it was in fact Tamika in Muggle clothes Ianto just could not help it he laughed it was so funny the princess in Muggle clothes what looked to be slacks and a t-shirt.
" oh my you look a treat" Ianto said between gasp for air. Ianto had no idea he's absents had coursed any problems but looking at Tamika he relished that Tamika had no way of serving with out someone to do the things the family house elf normally do or it there case he dose around the house.
Ianto suddenly wonder what Tamika had done for food for the weeks he had been gone wondering around Europe and dealing with his mother.
Ianto pulled him self together and stopped laughing.
"What is that you are waring Tam" Ianto asked as he turned of the music knowing that Tamika usually distories thing that make notices she dose not like.
" so I take it you noticed I was gone" Ianto looked her up and down and waited for the coming explosion .
As he waited he saw the mess around the house unwashed dishes clothes all around the place and just general untidy look about.
" god have you never learned a basic cleaning spell? I mean look at this place Tam" Ianto waved his hand around. To indexercate his annoyance at the state of the house she was a guest in.

Tamika was not often caught out when it came to her more sensitive pursuits and so for a moment she just stared wide eyed at her brother in disbelief, the fact that she was more then a little on the drunk side of tipsy was not helping the matter as she just glared as he laughed at her. How dare he?! Unsteady on her feet as she was Tamika went to stomp into her room only to realise that she couldn't get into it due to the fact that she couldn't quite remember what door was the right one as it didn't appear to be where she had left it. "Humph" she just said and flopped down on the couch which was covered with books from the so-called Library that Tamika had 'forgotten' to return. "One would hardly laugh Ianto.. you look dark enough to be a native!" if there was one thing that Tamika had been steadfast on it was ensuring that the sun would never ruin her 'perfect' complexion. Pretending her brother to be just a figment of her imagination she went to reach for a book.. the movement made her stomach lurch.. the local food did not agree with her for though some of the names where familiar the idea of a savory pastie did not bide well for the rest of the menu.
Normally of course the idea of her brother taking amusement from her would be enough to put her into a rage, and yet there was a pleasant throb in her head and she felt strangely euphoric like she had taken a sip of cheering potion. Maybe that was the trick? She was sure those bubbles in the pink drink had not been natural. Dispite everything she giggled when Ianto asked about her clothes "Do you like it Ianto? It's called skinny jean.. I am unsure who Jean is but they must have been very tall and unnaturally thin to have found such suitable" playing with her 'jeans' it bothered Tamika that the legs where creased at the end from her being shorter then the model..."and look it is a elephant riding a contraption like the one that Marcus gifted me.. I do not know why such a Elephant would chose to ride such a thing for it is most troublesome and certainly one would expect it to be quite undignified". Tamika was rather missing the point of the conversation but then what did it matter? Her life was in ruins and she was destined for a life of unhappiness so she might as well get used to disappointment. Speaking of disappointment Tamika pouted when Ianto silenced the noise making machine "What ever did you do that for? I was rather enjoying it" she said swinging her head from side to side "You know there is this very wise woman on the tellescreen and she says that 'if you like it then you had better put a ring on it!'" she sung before cackling. Who had thought that a night at the inn would provide a perfect solution to all her problems? Tamika had already sent a owl to mother in her very best handwriting and delightfully she had agreed for it all to be arranged. Ianto was going to be so thrilled! Of course the unsuitable nature of their co-habitation was bound to be a problem. "I did wonder if one of those Muggle murders had gotten you.. but do not worry I lit a candle for you to go restfully to sleep" she pointed to a half melted candle that had dribbled black wax into the carpet. "It was very rude for you to leave unannounced you know.." she pointed out before shrugging at the mess "I thought you said we had to blend in with our neighbours? Is this not how Muggles always live.. filthy Muggles why would you not just get a house elf like a proper wizard?" There was the usual whine in her voice, she would have purchased one herself where they not so frightfully expensive since those foolish S.P.E.W people had gone around preaching that elves had to be properly housed and cared for. Tamika knew like all good proper girls that House Elves existed only to serve and it was foolish to think that they wished for anything else then a life of good and hard service followed by being beheaded and made into a attractive hall decoration the moment their use wore out.

Ianto was surprised that Tamika had not totally freaked out and cut sick at thin for leaving her in the Muggle house alone but the longer she went on the more Ianto thought something was wrong or just off about his little sister. she made fun of his looks and the tan he had gotten out in Greece he must send an owl to the lovely lady he meet there to.
"Jean is not a name it the type of fabric and... never mind" ianto waved his hand at her.
the longer he stood there the more he was sure that tamika might be drunk and then she was talking about elephants WHY into was so unsure and beginning to get beyond caring. Then Ianto knew there was something wrong as she advised she liked the music and and singing about rings.
"Well if you went home you could Marry Malachi and he will put a ring on it I'm sure his family has pick out a lovely one" Ianto hoped she was just drunk enough to just go home but no such luck she talked about muggles and murder.
"NO such luck I'm afraid I went to vista mother and then to greece for some sun. as for the candle what have I told you about fire and open Flames in my house" Ianto crossed his arm in a bit of a huff.
"And I am an adult I will come and go as I please and Just because father say they live like this dose not make it a fact and i have no need for a house elf as I can pro form a cleaning spells and I know how to pick up after my self as un like you Princess I was not the apple of fathers eyes so I was not gifted an elf to follow me around as a child" Ianto was most resentful of father for the House elf thing with Tamika but that was long ago and far away and he cared not tho come to think of it ware was her house elf.
"Ware is that pathetic crater that was gifted to you?" Ianto asked,
Ianto was sure that Tamika would never travel with out it for any reason unless father was hold him till she come home and married that Malachi Fellow and behaved like a proper witch.
"I find your behaviour most un pure blood like a Muggle bike and clothes and liking Muggle music. Maybe you have been among blood traders like me and my friends to long maybe we are contaminating you with our mugginess" Ianto was hopping that if she felt like he was making her less of a witch she would leave him to his life here away from the lies and crap his pureblood family had given him.
"So how are you still alive I mean it not like you know how to cook or shop?" Ianto was really interested in her answer as he knew her life skills suck it was of course something he to had to learn when he left to search for Axsum and he a lest unlike Tamika had some skills in cooking and cleaning so a least a drunk Tamika would be funny and lest trouble that a sober one He hopped.

“Oh please Ianto, I know all about fabric or do you forget that while you slop away at that so called school I happen to assist in the selection of designer wizarding robes for the very nicest of people” Tamika was of course stretching the truth, she was a Matacore girl yes but while Madam Jeffery would allow her to see the fine robes she was to do so from the cashiers point where she spent her time tallying figures and folding them into the monogrammed gift bags and boxes to be taken home. At least she could raise her nose to the first floor people, while she had not yet been chosen to work the third floor where the most exclusive clientele shopped she was sure it was only a matter of time before management saw that she was worthy of such honors. After all she was a Parker and while it was only a trifle fancy to wish Tom Fellon to arrive and whisk her away from her dour life there would no doubt be many opportunities to meet attractive, rich and well bred Wizards working at Matacore. She certainly was not earning nearly as much gold as she had expected for it seemed her money disappeared so much faster then her brother's.
Scoffing at her brother Tamika didn't care for his words towards her husband to be, while Malachi was not her true love she would not have her brother ridicule him “I would wish for nothing more then to go home and marry.. indeed where it not for my selfless concern that my brother might take one day out of his selfish obsession with non-existent trinkets to at least grace my wedding day with his presence then I could live out the rest of my life in comfort and happiness” there was a clear sulk to her tone as she sat on the couch, it was all Ianto's fault! Had he done his duty and made something of himself there would be no pressure for her to marry Malachi, their family would not be on the edge of honorable society and she would be a bride to a more attractive, richer and powerful Wizard then some smelly foreigner! It was all Ianto's fault which allowed her to ignore his huff and continue on the important job of feeling sorry for herself. “You do not let me do anything! How am I supposed to live Ianto if you do abandon me at every turn only to show up and say you do not approve? Well I do not approve of your face!”
It was a childish insult but Tamika did not care, nor did she care for his questions about her house elf “it ruined my favourite dress, so I had it beheaded” Tamika had no remorse and while her father had refused to get her another elf after the fifth little 'accident' she had learned to avoid the creatures and let others deal with the messy elements of life like picking up after herself. “Well I might as well be a Muggle for all that anyone cares!” her outrage was extreme when it came to the idea that she, Tamika Parker was to be a blood traitor due to her stupid brother's actions. “At least Muggles get to do what they like and don't have to marry smelly Wizards because their family requires it of them” crossing her arms she felt truly miserable, why was it that Ianto would have to show up and ruin everything by reminding her of her obligations. Tamika wished she could be free but instead her brother was just like everyone else in assuming that she could not take care of herself. “I work in a shop stupid and cooking.. why would I cook when there are other's who can do it for me?” Ianto was hardly someone to talk, she had seen him eat food that came in boxes. Ianto was just like everyone else in thinking she was useless, Tamika would show him one day.. just as she would show Malachi and everyone else that she was more then just a prize to be married off to the highest bidder.

Ianto was in shock as to what he was seeing and hereing from his sister she was starting to sound like a blood trader talking about no having to live up to expectations.
"I doubt even if I went home to see you married off you would even go thro with it because let be open and since your drunk I think you might be. You could live quite well with out daddy money if you tried. But if you don't want to then go home marry and have babies" Ianto said as he cleared a space for himself to sit on the sofa across from her.
" I begging you make a chose and stick with it eather stay here and become a good person who may not have a family name or go home get the family name and keep the line going" Ianto hope that she might just leave but if not he was so going to teach her how to clean up after her self.
" and i do care i just cant be what you want me to be. i not that pure blood boy i once was i changed and you can to or you can go home." Ianto knew he was sounding like a broken recored with the going home but he hoped she would go or at least get her own place.
" your my sister and i want you to be your self but if you dont want to live like this the go home to Daddy and Malachi becouse this is life with out money you have to clean and get around by your self and ware Muggle stuff so ..." Ianto finished and he sat back and waited for her to decided her own fate if she would decide at all she was a fence siter neither Here nor there.

"It is most easy for you to say Ianto.. you do not give a care for poor Mother and Father? I do so hate children but if it is to be my duty then no doubt there are means.. unlike you I do think of more then just myself.. do you have no idea how shameful it is for our family that you did flee your obligations the very first chance you got?" It was a old argument well repeated. Yet in her drunken state the words carried extra meaning, the stubbornness when her brother forced her to make a choice was too much "FINE Ianto, you want me to go home to marry well I shall.. but do not think that I have had my eyes painted shut.. I know all about why you really ran away" Her eyes where narrowed, calculating as she eyed her brother, she might have been drunk but a plan for revenge had popped into her mind.. perfect in execution for ruining every bit of happiness for her brother forever.
All she had to sacrifice was everything. She knew her brother was hiding from her parents because he was a gay, why he thought that excused him from the obligations of family life was something that stuck in her side, as a woman she was expected to put aside all her claims and interests to become completely subservant to her husband and yet as the male heir Ianto could do as he wished.. even to never marry at all. Tamika knew that nothing could change that, nothing but proving beyond a doubt to their parents that Ianto was not worthy to be a Parker. "Once I am though telling Mother and Father what you have done you will never be allowed to come home again" there was no love lost for her brother, not after he had gone off yet again and left her alone in this inhospitable Muggle infested land. It was clear that she was never going to get though to him no matter how clever her plan had been.
"I know you want me gone Ianto, I will go home I promise and marry my Malachi but only if you come back with me just to see me wed, that is all I ask Ianto one day that I can be happy and everything is perfect.. is it that much to ask?" Tamika gave a long sigh, she wished she had more of that happy pink bubbly drink, anything to make her feel less bad at how empty and troublesome her life was right now. Could Ianto truly not see that all she had ever wanted was to do what he asked? Tamika knew that when the time came she would have to give in to precedent, she was a Parker and at least one of them had to ensure the next generation. Just why did it have to go so wrong that her husband-to-be was ugly and her brother cared more about his Muggle toys then keeping in good society? Life was at it's heart unfair.

Ianto was sure that she tamika was drunk.
"mother and father that your argument to me, Merlin Tam" Ianto began pacing the small messy room
" because father was so Happy with me his useless hugglepuff son. And as for why I ran well its not like I care what mother and Father think you you for that matter I not the first nor will I be the last pure blood to be this way, I'm just man enough to not ask a woman to live the lie that all the others have ask there wives to." Ianto turned on tamika at this moment
"would you like your Husband to bed you while thinking of a another man?" Ianto asked hoping that her drunk state might get him a real answer and not the pure blood trained one.
"And as for going home I have no wish to and if they disowned me that would be a laugh, father would never, he needs the hope that I may just get drunk enough to give him a grandson to keep this pathetic family line going, because you can not give the parker name to your's, and we both know if that was not the case I would have been disowned the moment I drop out and ran" Ianto looked at tamika
" I would come to your wedding if it was what you really want not father or mother but you, if you feel you could love this man father asked you to marry and bed then, i will come, but tell me Tam" Ianto walked over to tamika and looked down at her on the sofa and asked
" if you had not been given to him would you marry him? Or better yet would you marry him if he were like me? " Ianto stood over her waiting for her to answer the many question he had put to her.

Half of Ianto's argument went over Tamika's head in a happy haze until he started talking about her future husband. "Don't be ridiculous Ianto.. well maybe if it was Draco I could understand..." she made a face, honestly the idea of being bedded by any man apart from her true love repulsed her, so why should it be any different for him? "You would hardly wish for me to not think of another when.. Merlin's beard...!" Tamika was forced to cover her face with her hands, this was too ridiculous to talk about. The very though of her speaking honestly with her brother was also ridiculous and no doubt she would be overcome with embarrassment the moment the happy fuzz wore off.
But for the moment the world seemed so much simpler, almost like old times before Ianto was outcast and she was required to dispise him for not living up to expectation. Tamika couldn't help but be envious as Ianto reminder her that while she could be put aside at a moments notice Ianto would always be able to hold over her the fact that he was the heir.. Tamika had to strive to make a good match yet Ianto would get all he wished purely for the contents of his trousers.
Tamika's spirits rose though when Ianto said he would come to her wedding. "Of course it is what I want Ianto, and Malachi may not be my first choice of love but I am sure that in time I could come to love him as much as any woman loved a man.. Mother say's sometimes these things take time but I do not see why it should be that just because I do not love Malachi now then I would never love him.. if I never marry him how will I ever know?" Tamika couldn't help but think in terms of a romance story.. maybe it was like those tales told of ugly trolls who turned into handsome princes with a kiss? And if not?
Well she would have to exchange the occasional night of discomfort for the luxeries of all that she ever wished and the time she desperately longed for to work on her stories. In truth the only point with which Tamika truly had a objection was in the fact that Malachi was a forigner, while she had in a small way aclimitised to live in the colanies she still did not wish anything to do with India, the prospect of having to live there was well and truly out of the question.
It was all questions she had gone over in her mind a million times, mostly in terms of sulking and thinking how unfair it all was that she had been lumped with Malachi when all she truly wanted was Draco Malfroy.. or at least someone who was as attractive, brave, english and well bred as her dark hero. If she had learned nothing in the time since arriving in Australia it was that life was unfair and cruel and sometimes the brave maiden was forced to marry the beast in order to turn him into the prince she deserved. "Maybe I would have married him, maybe I would have not.." she muttered before Ianto put forward a much better idea. "Oh that is a wonderful idea Ianto.. why if he was like you he would never wish to bed me and he could have all the young men he wished as long as he left me in peace" a smile broke her face, life would be so much better if Malachi was a gay.. then he would have no problem with her not wishing to be bedded and may even understand her attraction to certain Muggle actors with lovely pale features. Yes it was a most perfect solution!

Ianto was sure that tamika's answers where hard wired in to her brain. But then again going by the way Aunty acted when she court Uncle Durin he could understand why she believed the way she did about Gay men in married relationship even if they hate them. Tho Ianto was sure his pure blood wife should he have to marry would alow him as many gay one night stand so long as there was a child at some point to make the marriage look real to the unsuspecting or unknowing public.
But Ianto could not imagine a more unhappy way to live one life that living a lie and and making one children a part of that lie.
"Have you no self respect can you hear your self no only will you marry him but you will think of another when for fulling you marriage duties. why marry at all if that what your going to do" Ianto flop back on his arm chair feeling like there was no way to make his sister see reason as to why he could not go back and lie and smile pretending to be the pureblood son that he was not and to listen to his father berate him about his short comings and not yell at him that he was not his son and that ment that the parker name ended with him. It would be like taking a dagger to his father heart. But no for the sake of saving his mother life for reason Ianto could not fathom he care about her even tho it was her fault that he had to live this lie and put up with his half sister and the devil of a man he called father.
"you know what Tam i will go back with you just tell me what day you wish to leave and I will arrange for transport to wales for us" Ianto said giving up on stay away from home for ever if only to get Tamika out of his house and his life.
"I will even give you a brilliant gift a house elf, so you will never have to learn how to clean up or cook ever" Ianto smiled at his sister wondering if she would ever really give him a date for her departure as Ianto was sure she was using him as an excuses not to go home to her un happy life of lies and good manners.
" I will even stad and best man for you husband to be if needed. I want you to be happy and married" Ianto sat forward and smiled at Tamika.

"Of course I can hear myself Ianto, I have ears do I not?" Missing the point of the conversation Tamika sighed "If I where but born a man I could have all the respect I pleased and do marry or do not... you think it is easy for me to do this Ianto? Watching you do whatever you wish when I must uphold the families honor even if it means giving myself to another?" Tamika would not have Ianto speak to her in that way "This is your fault Ianto, where you a better brother I would not be required to marry Malachi.. it is because you have made a embarrassment of our family that father was unable to make a better match". All Tamika had known was that while her peers had found young and attractive..or older and distinguished wizards to marry she alone was to be engaged to a foreigner, Tamika had not dared to question her father's wisdom but assumed that he was telling the truth that her brother was to blame. It was after all the only thing that made sense, in all other regards the Parkers had fulfilled every expectation..they lived in the right castle.. moved in the right circles and until Ianto had come along nobody had ever thought them anything but proper.
Clearly impropriety was catching or so Tamika would use as excuse where anyone to hear of her outbursts and actions on this night. "You owe me" she said softly with a sigh as she crossed her arms and snuggled into them, why must her life be so miserable that she would be a slave to work the rest of her life until she was as lined and plain as the floor women who mopped and cleaned the bathrooms or give herself to marriage and know that her heart would forever be lost to love who she truly wanted. A choice between Malachi and being treated like a princess vs a life of earning money and always having too little for the things she wished. Tamika was above all materilistic and lazy so no greater joy blossemed in her heart like her brother finally giving in and promising to come back to Wales with her. "Really? You really promise?" For once she could almost love her brother and as he smiled she did too, larger and more happy then no amount of happy golden liquid or silly songs about rings could "Thank you Ianto.. really I must write to Malachi immediately.. he will be thrilled!" and herself? Tamika did not care if it was the funny Muggle drinks but tonight for the first time in a very long time she felt like her brother was someone she could not hate, and she was yes, actually excited to marry Malachi. Maybe they might not live happily ever after like in stories but at least for one day everything could be just right. Which lead to one small frown on Tamika's otherwise rapt face "Just Ianto.. promise me.. if you do come that you will be normal and have a date.. it would make me happy to see you with someone and I'm sure mother and father would too.." Tamika couldn't help a little cackle "I do not mind so much if you bring a boy or a girl.. just imagine father's face". Yes she would keep her brother's secret, but realizing that she was to be married to Malachi also was a realization that the moment she tied the knot she would be free in a sense of the Parker name and obligations. She would be Tamika Azazeal, beholding to her husband before all others and unlikely to ever see her peers or family again outside of the rare visit. What was there to lose?
