Wednesday Morning 8:30

Hogwarts great hall

2 days till winter break

Evelyn POV

Ugh, Wednesday morning, only 2 more days left at school then it's off to the Manor for 2 weeks! Yay no more getting up early, no essays and best of all no annoying teachers! So glad not to be in the presence of Professor Mcgonagall - I swear she's made it her number 1 job to try and catch me doing something wrong this year so she can get the joy of punishing me.

As I made my way over to the Slytherin table, I caught eyesight of my friend Victoria Zabini frantically waving a piece of parchment. Grabbing a bright green apple and a bowl of cereal I casually took a seat next to the frantic girl.

"Hey Evelyn - reports are out. I got yours too!"

Oh great.

"Oh, thanks have you read yours yet?"

"No… not yet." She said between mouthfuls of cereal

Letting out a sigh, I reached for the parchment labelled 'Evelyn Malfoy'

I was debating whether to open it or not, when a thud that shook the table interrupted my trail of thoughts. It was Ben.

"Morning Evelyn, Morning Bozo!"

Vicki just rolled her eyes and said "Morning Prince Charming," She replied sarcastically

I just giggled at their petty attempts to be funny, honestly me and my sister, Elizabeth can do better than that!

"Think you should go easy on the face paint there Vicki, you look like a warrior going into battle,"

"Stop talking out your arse!" Vicki said finally

Shaking my head I returned to the piece of parchment. I was just skim reading most of it you know – 'Evelyn has a real gift in Defence against the dark arts. Evelyn shows a lot of potential in charms' Blah blah blah you get the point. But then my gaze fell upon the 'Head teacher overall comment' I took a gulp and read the whole passage…

Evelyn Malfoy is quite a gifted student, showing skills in many areas of magic and sport. A clear popular member of the year group she shows a high level of confidence throughout tasks, although she must remember to set a good example as bad behaviour will not be tolerated. I am afraid to say that she was involved in a very serious incident that occurred a few days ago. During a potions lesson, herself and a few other members of the group purposely brewed Veritaserum - Use of the potion is strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic and is forbidden within the grounds of the school. We also write to inform you that Evelyn along with the other members is to attend detention with me for a week after winter break. Other than that Evelyn can be a pleasure to teach, we hope to see an improvement in her behaviour when she returns to Hogwarts.

Regards

Minerva Mcgonagall

"Oh Merlin," I whispered

At that point I had 7 faces look up at me,

"What?" They all asked in unison

"Mcgonagall has written about the Veritaserum incident – If I show mother and father this they could take away my wand! Or worse my new Nimbus lighting edition broom! " I panicked and buried my head in my arms to try and think of a way out of this.

"Why don't you say you never got your report?" Celeste Phillips, another one of my friends sitting opposite me said.

"Celeste, my parents aren't stupid. For Merlin's sake they're War heroes in fact my mother is smartest witch of the century! So yeah she's totally going to believe that I never got my report." I yelled, frustrated

Then James spoke up and said "I might be able to help,"

I shot up and gave him the famous Malfoy smirk; I'm eager to see what he could come up with seeing as he's the one who pulled off the UN successful brewing of the Veritaserum.

"Come on then what have you got?"

"Ever heard of the charm 'Evansco'?"

Is he serious? I'm not a 10 year old who can't control magic im 14 for Merlin's sake!

"Obviously, it's the vanishing spell and you're talking to me like im a muggle and I don't appreciate it." I replied coldly

James put his hands up like he was surrendering "Alright Malfoy, don't get your knickers in a twist!"

"Just get on with it!" Celeste yelled

"OK..OK jeez, just use the Evansco charm to hide what Mcgonagall has written, then re write the report."

"I don't know James, it does seem quite risky." Ben said (Such a sweet guy looking out for me!)

"Either that or we could ask the best prankster in Hogwarts for his advice?"

I looked up "And who might that be?" I asked interestingly

"My cousin, Fred Weasley!" James announced

Well I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter so far - There will be more action in soon, please review and tell me what you think so far.
