New Beginnings

Fourth Year

Eva sat down at an empty compartment, reading the book she´d packed last night without really focusing on the words. She was nervous, to say the least. This was supposed to be a year of new beginnings after all.

How she came to find herself at Hogwarts was a long long story.

Eva´s family was one of France´s most ancient magical pure bloodlines, the Beaumont. They were a well respected family, that is of course, until her mother´s disastrous mistake. Lucille Beaumont became pregnant with Eva at age 15, out of marriage, with another pureblooded wizard, an old family friend. Evangeline´s father wanted to terminate the pregnancy, as a bastard child could potentially ruin his and his family´s reputation. Eva´s mother wouldn´t have it so she made a pact, an Unbreakable Vow; she´d lie about who the father was, and in exchange she got to keep her baby. However, Eva´s father was cruel, and wanted to humiliate Lucille even further for being so 'careless'. He made her swear to say the father was a muggle, or a no-maj as Eva called them.

Lucille accepted even knowing that it would cost her. The Beaumont prided on being pureblooded, and when their only daughter told them her unborn child, her out of marriage child, was a result of an affair she´d had with a no-maj, they kicked her out and erased all evidence of her ever being their child. Lucille got help from her aunt, a nice woman who despised her family´s obsessions with their lineage, and moved in with her across the ocean, in Boston. That´s where Eva was born; a child of two powerful pure magical bloodlines; and although Lucille opted to give her family name to Eva, naming her Evangeline Marie Beaumont, she kept her hidden from both families, never contacting either.

Lucille had decided to become a full time mother, and didn´t resume her magical studies. However, when time came for Evangeline to do so, she arranged for Ilvermorny to take her in, and that´s where she had studied, at least until her third year. When she turned 13 Lucille´s aunt died of old age. Lucille grew sad and lonely, with Eva at school, and her aunt gone. So with the money they´d inherited from her, Lucille and Evangeline moved to Devon, England, where Eva´s mum had been offered a job at the Ministry, as an assistant of an old friend of hers. Evangeline had been okay with the decision, Ilvermorny was nice, and fun, but she didn´t feel like she entirely belonged there.

That´s how she found herself sitting alone at an empty compartment, ready to start her fourth year at Hogwarts

"Sorry" said a voice from the entrance of the small space, making Eva jump. She turned around meeting the apologetic face of a young man around her age, dark hair, bright emerald eyes framed with rimmed glasses. "Do you mind if we sit here? Everywhere else is taken."

Beside him, stood two other figures, another male, tall lanky with fiery red hair and a rather large nose. He seemed to be too busy arguing, munching on what looked to be some sort of pastry. To his other side was a girl, bushy brown hair and big expressive eyes. By the looks on her face, she seemed to be bossy.

Eva shook her hair and scooped some of her things away from the seat next to her. The dark haired guy sat down there, as the other two dropped on the seat opposite to them.

Eva extended her hand at the green eyed one, if she was to be stuck with them for three ours, she might as well introduce herself. "My name is Evangeline Beaumont, nice to meet you."

The dark haired boy took her hand and shook it once, a grin spreading across his face. "I´m Harry, Harry Potter. And this are Hermione and Ron."
