Jace's POV

Where the hell is she? The train was about to leave and we were stood at the platform waiting for Eva. I should have gone with her. I should be there in case something happens.

"Jace mate, calm down, she'll be here in a minute."

I turned to face Kye and noticed that he wasn't the only one looking at me. Gina, Danny and Riley had all noticed the look of panic on my face.

"It's just that –"

"Hey guys!"

We turned at Eva's voice and waved her over to us.

"We're gonna be late if you don't get moving, Eva!"

"I'm moving. I'm moving. Jeez, don't get your knickers in a twist Riley!" She panted as she caught up with us.

"Yeah, Riley, leave the poor girl alone, she clearly had more important stuff to do then meet up with us."

I watched as her face paled and she tensed. I wanted to protect her but I couldn't, I was helpless.

"Calm down, Eva. Everything's going to be fine." Gina said as she put her arm around Eva's shoulders.

"You think?"

"Yup. You have nothing to worry about. We're here with you, going through the same things….well, not the exact same things, but its close enough."

The guys and I had all gotten on the train and were listening to the girls on the platform.

"Somehow I don't think that's gonna help her, Gina." Danny said, poking his head out of the train's window.

"Yes it is, Danny!" Gina snapped. "It's going to help distract her from the thoughts of all those questioning eyes staring at her as she walks down the halls. It's going to help distract her from the impending doom that is sure to follow us-"

"Oh, god!" I heard Eva say and watched her run onto the train and into the toilet, her hand clamped over her mouth. I stood to go help but Riley held me back. "There's nothing you can do."

"Yeah, really distracting, Gina." Laughed Danny, leaving Gina looking dumfound and guilty on the platform.

Eva spent the rest of the journey in the toilet, so the guys and I used that time to discuss our situation.

"Whose idea was it to make her throw-up? I mean I know she needed to have flaws, but couldn't she have had one that isn't so….messy?"

"It's a side-effect to the change her body's going through. It can't be helped, Danny." I sighed as I heard Eva retch.

"But you're not throwing up?"

"No, but I know who I am. What I am. She doesn't." I replied to Danny, keeping my eyes firmly locked on the toilet door. We continued to talk to each other; the guys were mainly discussing our transfer to this new school: Hogwarts. I wasn't really that interested so I kept my thoughts to Eva, listening in to her mind in case she needed me. Soon though, the train started to slow as we came into the station. "Eva. We're here." I said as I reached the toilets. I waited, expecting Eva to open the door but she didn't and I tensed. "Eva! Have you died in there or what?" I yelled as I tapped on the door urgently. "We're here, get out already!"

"Wha?" Came her mumbled reply. I was ready to break the door down to get to her; nerves bubbling in my stomach.

"Jeez, it sounds like she's been asleep." Kye sighed dramatically.

"You better not have, Eva. I don't want to have to help you clean up."

"It's okay, Gina, I didn't fall asleep." Eva said as she stepped out of the toilet. I relaxed. Before she could say anymore I hoisted her up into the air and over my shoulder, muttering about being late. She let out a small squeak.

"Cut it out, Jace! If you don't put me down I'm going to throw up!" She said thumping me on the back, while the guys laughed. Eva squirmed in my arms and gave a small whimper, "Jace, please?"

"Uh, Jace, I really think you should put her down." I turned to face Danny.

"Yeah, she's gone really pale." Kye cut in.

I suddenly dropped her and watched as she ran full pelt to the nearest bin. She made it – just.

Gina was the first to reach her and silently held her hair back as she brought up what little she had left of her breakfast. I stood quietly and felt guilty about what she was going through.

After cleaning up, finding a bus station, arguing with numerous bus drivers that the address we had was correct, we finally made it to our destination: The Leaky Cauldron. It wasn't until after we'd settled into our rooms that we realised our mistake.

"Muggles don't know about The Leaky Cauldron!"

We all froze at Riley's comment and mentally face palmed ourselves before laughing it off. We headed downstairs after to explore Diagon Alley.

"Wow." Came the collective hum from me and the guys. Admittedly I have seen much more amazing sights back home, however there was something about it that put a sense of awe into you.

"Come on, let's get shopping." Gina said looking at Eva, a glint of ecstasy in her eyes.

We had all bought our school supplies and our arms were weighed down by the sheer enormity of it all.

"Are you sure we need all of this!" I moaned, as the others walked into yet another shop.

"Yes," Eva said. "It says so on our list, so stop your whining."

"I'm not whining. I'm just asking if we actually need all of this." I said nodding down at the bundle in my arms.

"You're whining, shut up." She replied.

I shut up. She may not remember who she is or who I am, but I do and even though she can't remember I must do as she wishes; no matter whom she thinks we are. I looked into her mind and saw that she was beginning to doubt everything. She was beginning to see the flaws in our existence, picking up on the fact that everything was just too perfect. We were thrusted from her thoughts when she bumped into something solid; she landed on the ground with an "Oof!" and her supplies went everywhere.

"Watch where you're bloody going!"

I looked over to see a guy with platinum blonde hair and grey eyes. "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to –" She was cut off when I stepped forward, putting myself between her and the blonde.

"Back up, blondie." I said, my voice deep. The blonde took a step back, his eyes showed a little fear before deadpanning.

"Who the hell are you? Do you know who you are talking to?" I smirked slightly hearing Eva's thoughts.

"I'm her brother. No I don't know who you are and frankly I didn't give a fuck!" I took a step forward, towering over the blonde. "Now apologise!"

The guy glanced down at Eva, "Malfoy's don't apologise." And with that he turned and walked away. I was about to go after him, when Eva grabbed my hand.

"Don't bother Jace."

I turned to face her. I didn't like it and as I was picking her up off the floor, said "He should have apologised."

"Maybe but –" She never got to finish her sentence because Gina, Riley, Danny and Kye came running out of the shop in front of us.

"What happened?"

"Who was that?"

"Is everything alright?"

"Why didn't you hit him?"

We were bombarded with questions at a high rate of knots and I tried to calm everyone down, answer a few questions and gather our things before we headed back to The Leaky Cauldron. My thoughts directed as hunting down the blonde prat and making him apologise to Lady Evangeline.

Draco's POV

I had just met up with Blaise outside of Madam Malkins when some oaf bumped into me. I heard a small "Oof" and thought it was Granger. "Watch where you're bloody going!" Imagine my shock when I turn to see a pale faced red-head staring up at me.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to –" She was cut off when her dark haired companion stepped forward, putting himself between her and me. He must be her boyfriend.

"Back up, blondie." I took a step back, when he spoke and felt my eyes widen in fear but I composed myself quickly before anyone had had the chance to notice. Malfoy's don't feel fear.

"Who the hell are you? Do you know who you're talking to?"

"I'm her brother. No I don't know who you are and frankly I don't give a fuck!" He took a step forward, towering over me. Ah, so not her boyfriend then. He really is quite tall. "Now apologise!"

I glanced down at the red-head, who was still sat on the floor before replying "Malfoy's don't apologise." And with that I turned and walked away, Blaise following behind me. Her brother looked like he was about to come after me and I had a hand on my wand just in case. I heard her say "Don't bother Jace."

"Wow, did you see her." Blaise said once we were out of earshot.

"Yes, I did see her Blaise. She bumped into me after all." I said sarcastically. Blaise and O had known each other since we were born and he was the only person I would truly call my friend.

"I haven't seen her around before. She's definitely going to Hogwarts, you can tell by the supplies she had, but she's gotta be too old for a first year…"

Blaise continued to talk and I continued to ignore him, my thoughts caught up with her and her strikingly red hair. Now when I say red, I mean red. It wasn't the ginger crap associated with the Weasel family; no, it was actually red, like it was on fire. As the day wore on I forgot about my encounter and focused on getting my supplies for yet another year at Hogwarts.

A/N: So? What do you think? I know it's pretty much the same as the first chapter but I needed to get Jace's point of view across (like the conversation Jace has while Eva is in the toilet throwing up and the reason Jace acts all protective – well not so much the reason why but a small inkling) That's why I also added a small bit on Draco's POV just to give you guys something else to read.

I think this will probably be the only time you'll see the story from Jace's point of view, purely because he is ALWAYS with Eva. I may do a quick Jace POV during later chapters but I'm not sure yet. THINGS WILL GET BETTER, I PROMISE!

Please R+R, I'd love some feedback on what I could improve, change etc. I'll give you cookies :D

Love to you all 3
