DISCLAIMER: I Do not own Harry Potter.
The coy glances were enough to reignite the attraction that had all but smoldered after their last meeting. Their
previous encounter had been cold and untrue. the chill between them had all but gone now. And Evangeline knew that

up bidding everyone goodnight. She saved the last would be pleasantry for him. Leaning back in his chair like a school
boy wearing the faintest of faint smug expressions. Evangeline paused when she reached his chair and merely looked
at him, the corners of her mouth lifted not but a millimeter. His expression softened and a corner of his lopsided
mouth rose slightly. More there was no dialogue but there needn't be. There was much conveyed in this nonverbal
exchange and it didn't go unnoticed. Jealous eyes gazed at the pair from across the room. Evangeline could feel the
second man's gaze boring through her as she lingered near her male counterpart. She knew all to well who the
intense stare belonged to. Sirius. Her thoughts drifted to the memory of the last time the three of them were in a room
together and the drama that followed. With that in mind, she turned on her heel and exited the room. He got up to
follow her, just as she had thought he would. Before he exited the room he paused in front of Sirius, a mischievous
grin on his face and said, "Good evening, Sirius."
"Moody-" Sirius, growled. What followed did not fall on the ears of Alastor Moody, for he had other things on his mind.
