C12

The occupancy of Lois’s room fluctuated. Mrs. Malfoy and Clark were the two main constants for the first couple of days. Mr. Malfoy ducked in and out, checking in with his post at the Ministry.

It was early Monday morning in the U.K., the first day of Hawaii public schools Spring Recess. Mrs. Malfoy didn’t need to worry too much about her teaching schedule. Mr. Malfoy kissed his wife on the forehead. He looked at Clark who held Lois’s hand.

Draco Malfoy tapped the young man’s shoulder. Clark shook himself out of his daze. Mr. Malfoy nodded at the young man for him to follow him out. Clark took a long look at Lois and then back at Mr. Malfoy. He took a deep breath before he stood up. He shut his eyes for a moment. He kissed Lois’s forehead before he followed her father out into the hall.

“How you holding up, son,” the older man asked as he looked into Clark’s face.

Clark shrugged. Mr. Malfoy waved his wand around the both of them. “Silencing charm, Clark,” Mr. Malfoy nodded. “We can talk freely.”

Clark gulped, “It’s been two days. She’s still in critical condition.”

“Hey,” Mr. Malfoy said as he put his arm around the young man’s shoulders. “Lois takes after her mother. She is one tough witch.”

Clark laughed. Mr. Malfoy joined in. The older man took in a breath. “Look, Clark, I’ll escort you home.”

Clark was surprised to hear that suggestion. “Mr. Malfoy, I want to be here for her.”

“I know, Clark,” he said as he brought him to a window that overlooked the grounds. “But you’d be of more help to her if you cover for her.”

“Mr. Malfoy,” Clark began a little defensively.

Mr. Malfoy gave him a thoughtful look. Clark stopped. He looked down. “Tomorrow is a work day, Clark. You can tell Perry that Lois was going to take a short vacation.”

“Lois on vacation,” Clark laughed. He looked at his best friend’s father. “That would be a stretch.”

Clark also knew what Mr. Malfoy was getting at. Although news of foiling plans of evil wizards to take over the world may be relegated to the weird but true tabloids, he wanted to make sure that angle would never reach the credible news rooms. Clark slouched, his shoulders heaved in defeat.

“Besides, Clark,” Mr. Malfoy said as he led the young man down the everchanging staircases. “Lois wouldn’t want you to shirk your superhero duties.”

“Some superhero I turned out to be,” Clark said taking in a deep breath. “I couldn’t stop what happened to her.”

“Trust me, Clark,” Draco said as he gave his shoulder another squeeze. “We can’t be there for them twenty four seven . . . as much as we want to be. I learned that a long time ago when the same thing happened to Mrs. Malfoy.

“When she woke up, she had to convince me that it wasn’t my fault that I couldn’t protect Lois and her,” Mr. Malfoy took a deep breath. “We’re all human, deep down inside, Clark. We all have our short comings. Mrs. Malfoy once said that things happen that you can’t control; you just need to know how to deal with the situation positively.

“You helped to stop Courtney Profesi a.k.a. Lex Carter from destroying the muggle and wizarding world. Lois would have seen that as a positive.

“The world needs a hero like you, Clark,” Mr. Malfoy said as they reached the foyer. “Lois recognized that fact a long time ago.”

“How’ll I know she’ll be okay?” Clark asked, not stopping a tear from falling.

“I promise to keep you in the loop,” Mr. Malfoy said as he held out his hand to Clark as he readied for the side-along apparition. Clark closed his eyes as he took the older gentleman’s hand, not letting go.
