Hello people! So. This fic is dedicated to my wonderful twinny (PurpleLilyStar) I want to thank her for letting me use Skye and I hope this will be a good enough Christmas present! Let's see what I can do :) I hope you'll enjoy it, and please leave a review!
"Back then
I was a boy longing for a friend
Someone to hold when the day would end
I had a dream 'bout the day when you, my love
Would come and turn things 'round
Now you and me like a brand new sound
Yeah you put me back on solid ground
And now my struggling days are gone, way gone."
-The Moment I Met You; Vincent
It was the first of September. The new prefects were carefully listening to the Headmistress speaking. Everyone was nervous and fidgeting, trying to understand everything.
Skye stood to one side nervously, glancing at her new badge as McGonagall spoke to them. Evan stood next to her. He was a bit nervous, and he couldn't really concentrate on what the headmistress was saying. He hadn't noticed her at all, he was too absorbed between the listening and the trying to keep thoughts of his brother away from him. Skye glanced at him before turning back to McGonagall, trying to calm down, this was no big deal after all. Evan breathed deeply, trying to calm his nerves. He did not look at the girl beside him, he was trying to concentrate, though he had noticed her now. Skye looked at Evan again, gathering up her courage. She knew they weren't supposed to talk right now, and he was a stranger. "Hey." She whispered. Evan glanced at her. "Hi." he said, quietly, with a small smile. He wasn't sure why she was talking to him, they had never talked before and it was a rather important moment to listen. But it didn't matter. He listened anyway. . "Evan right?" Skye asked. Evan looked for a name, he knew her from somewhere... "Skye?"
"Yep." She smiled. He smiled back, nervous. "Fifth year?" Skye nodded. "Yeah, you?"
"Fifth." Evan smiled. She laughed quietly. "I can't believe we never met before."
"I'm Gryffindor." Evan's smile widened. Skye grinned again."Where dwell the brave at heart. Me too." The young boy chuckled. "It's good to meet you." She smiled. "It's an absolute pleasure, Evan."
"For me too." Evan answered, honestly. Skye grinned widely at him. He grinned back at her. The headmistress clasped her hands together, making them startled "And, everyone, this is what you must do. You are free to go now. My best wishes of good luck." Evan and Skye looked at each other and snorted, grinning mischievously at each other. They had barely listened to a word of it. "We have rounds together in about twenty minutes. What do you want to do?"
"Let's just get to know each other." Evan said, starting to walk away, hands in his pockets. Skye smiled and followed him. "Favourite colour?"
"Red."
"Pale blue but also a cherry red." She answered, promptly. Evan nodded. "Birthday?" Skye told him her birthday. Evan smiled. "30th of January." The young girl smiled. "Cool. Favourite subject?"
"Care of Magical Creatures." Evan said, without a second split's hesitation. "Yours?"
"Defence. I do like CoMC though." Evan nodded. "Family?" Skye shuffled her feet. "Little brother Nathan. I live with my great-uncle Martin." She desperately hoped he wouldn't ask questions. Evan nodded, his only thought being 'thank god she hasn't asked about mine'. His thoughts flew to Peter. 'Stop thinking about him' He told himself, when his chest hurt, 'it only makes it worse' Skye didn't ask because, somehow, she knew it wasn't a safe question at all. "Uh... Do you like quidditch?"
"No, not really, but I like flying." Evan answered. She shrugged. "I've never flown, I managed to get out of flying lessons but I HATE quidditch. The bludgers..." Evan nodded, understanding. A lot of people were scared by bludgers. "Favourite food?" She laughed. "Easily chocolate pudding." Evan smirked."You?"
"Hmm... chocolate." He answered, thoughtfully. Skye smiled. "Favourite book?"
"Hmmm... I don't really have one. I love most of the ones I read."
"I love books!" She grinned widely. "Me too." Evan grinned back. "I like... I suppose you call them muggle books?"
He laughed. "Yeah. I suppose so."
"In the wizarding world everything seems possible but to muggles they have to imagine and I find that kind of beautiful."
Evan nodded. "A very good point." Skye grinned. "Rounds now, I suppose." she glanced at her watch. "Yeah." Evan chuckled. "Rounds." He agreed.
