Severus set the cup down on what he thought was the counter, but it ended up being just air. The cup didn't fall of course, he'd charmed the kitchen so that nothing would fall after they started looking after Lea.
He reached out to his wife "You're absolutely right you know. Of course you are and the ministry has been contacted but by the time it gets to the proper people it could be too late and-" he sighed.
"The person who attacked us in London wasn't my sister, but a parasite living in her mind. If in case it's returned and has set it's sights on me I'd like to finish it once and for all. There will be no peace for us until then."
He closed his eyes "There are a lot of variables to this equation and simply sitting back is not the answer."

"To say 'oh, it vas parasite' is good vay to avoid making thoughts of vat you do yourself," Magda said darkly, looking away. "I'd know."

His eyes were sympathetic, he knew the things Magda had done and what it had done to her.
"I've been in her mind" he replied.

"No... She was here" he responded after a moment "weeks ago."
He took a peek down at his cane "I had my wand to her neck, but when I read her mind I saw everything. The creature is biding it's time, she has her at bay for now." His eyes were slightly glassy, hoping silently that Magda would understand "She asked me to kill her."
He'd made that promise before and had been forced to carry it out, he'd ended Dumbledore's life. He'd killed the most important man of his time and it wasn't something he'd ever wanted to do again.
But this wasn't Dumbledore, this was something much worse.

Magda shivered despite the coziness of the situation.
"Severus," she said quietly, putting her hand on his cheek.

He leaned slightly in to her hand "I've been a right bastard my whole life and there's no denying the things that have happened to me I deserve. But you and Lea-" he clenched his teeth "-you don't."
Severus barely looked up "I need to keep you safe and if that means doing whatever I have to do to make sure that stays that way, I will. This is in no way me attempting to find redemption through self sacrifice I assure you. But the last time my sisters demons came out, the only one who got hurt was me. This time I can't be sure that she isn't out for blood, but I'm not sure I can-"
