Chapter One; Eve's Secret
Just a quick note, this episode is marked forty-one because it comes after the Halloween episode which marks the official start of season four. So I'm skipping that one for now until October. So, anyway, I hope you enjoy it!
The charm school bell rang for recess and Teddy and Heather quickly hurried out of the door to play. "So what do you guys want to do?" Heather asked her twin brother and group of friends.
"Do you want to play owl, owl phoenix?" Teddy asked her as she waved her hand at him.
"Nah, we always play that game. Besides, you always win that game." She said as Teddy grinned and revealed that there were now a few holes inside his mouth that meant that he had recently lost his baby teeth.
"I know, that's why it's fun." He told her as she simply just rolled her eyes at him.
"I have an idea, let's play red light green light." One of the other girls suggested as everyone else nodded and agreed. That is everyone except for Teddy.
"Well,.. alright. I'll try it." He finally agreed reluctantly when suddenly Heather shot her hand up in the air.
"I'll be the stoplight first!" she exclaimed as she quickly hurried over to the tree and turned around to face the group. "Green light!" she cried as they all raced towards her. "Red light!" she exclaimed as everybody stopped and froze in the position that they were in. "Green light!" she called again before hollering "Red light!" a few seconds later and Teddy fell down onto his bottom and hit the grass. "Alright Teddy, you're out." She told him as Teddy groaned and rolled his eyes.
"Fine. I didn't want to play this stupid game anyway." He said as he turned around and started walking towards the swings while Heather continued calling commands and the game continued.
Meanwhile Eve was having a really having a hard time trying to stay awake in history of magic. Her eyes continued to close while her head slowly started leaning towards her chest before it hit it and her eyes automatically popped open again. "And so that's how the war between the giants and muggles began." Professor Binns finished when suddenly the bell rang and everyone except for Eve leapt up from their seats. "Don't forget to study your notes and I hope that you remembered to take them because there will be a test tomorrow." He explained before he turned his attention to Eve.
"Ms. Snape, I would like for you to stay after class." He told her.
"But I'll be late for defense against the dark arts." She said knowing that her father taught that and that he would really be angry with her if she was.
"Oh don't worry about that, I'll escort you down there myself. Now approach my desk please." He told her as she heaved a heavy sigh.
"Fine!" she snapped as she reluctantly gathered her books and stood up before pushing her chair into the desk and walking to the front of the room.
"Ms. Snape, I just wanted to let you know that first and foremost I apologize if I seem to be sticking my ghostly old spirit into places where it doesn't belong, but I can't help but notice that you have been falling asleep in quite a few of my classes lately. And Professor Granger has told me the same story about you falling asleep in her transfiguration lessons and how your grades have been extremely poor." He told her.
Unfortunately Eve knew exactly what he had been talking about. For when she had to transform a teapot into a tortoise all she had managed to do was make it a slow moving teapot with a stubby little tail because she had been so tired that she had accidentally heard the incantation wrong and therefore had said it wrong. She had received a D on that assignment and had her cellphone taken away for the week.
"Now I just happen to know that you're an extremely brilliant young witch like your mother, so your reasons for your behavior have to do with the fact that somehow you aren't getting enough sleep during the night and are choosing to do so in your classes. Therefore I'm sorry but I don't have any choice but to take ten points away from Gryffindor and tonight after supper you will receive a detention." He told her.
"What!? But that's not fair! You can't do that!" she cried.
"I'm afraid I just did. And I'm sorry but I will also have to speak with your father about this as well. Now come with me Ms. Snape, and I'll escort you to your next lesson." He told her as he glided out of the room. Eve just simply rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath.
Later on at lunch she contemplated with her brother Tobey and her new friends Jill (who was a very tall first year and had dark brown hair and bright amber eyes and had been sorted into Ravenclaw) and Casey ( also a first year who had been one of Heather's friends and was sorted into Hufflepuff) how much homework she had had. "I can't believe it, I just can't believe it! Professor Binns gave me a detention just because I was tired in his class! I can't help the fact that I stay up half the night doing my homework! All my professors give me way too many!" she exclaimed.
"Oh come on sis, you know as well as I do that your homework isn't the only reason that you're up so late at night." Tobey told her. "I mean, if you didn't sneak out in the middle of the night using the invisibility cloak that Harry gave you for Christmas last year to go into Hogsmeade with Alyssa, then you would be getting a lot more sleep." He said. "I mean does Dad even know about that?" he asked her as she glanced down at the table.
"No. And I'd like to keep it that way thank you very much. He already knows that I've been falling asleep in my classes and that I have a detention tonight, and for right now I think that's enough." She told him before she started to eat her lunch.
