Just a couple notes... I think I've changed my mind about Evelynn and Pansy. The more I consider the idea, the more I like it. I do believe that Evelynn will end up with Fleur. I might have a brief thing between the original two, but I really think my dark elf and the obnoxiously pretty veela would do well together. Also, I will not be using accents in written speech. I don't do them well, and they're hard to read.

I still don't own HP or its characters, but I do own Evelynn. If you read this and would like to use her, please, please just ask. Thank you.

The Color Red

Chapter 2

A laugh and a slightly incredulous look. Raising an eyebrow, the bruises lining her face seemed slightly more pronounced.

"Coco... You're not funny. I'm not stoned and therefore, silly idiotic little ideas like that aren't funny." Said "Coco" looked slightly irritated at the nickname, and how quickly the girl had discredited his seemingly brilliant idea.

"Evielynn." A horrid scowl shot across her face. "It's a good idea. You could, you should, and you will. The crazy old bat would love you. Explain a little about your situation, give him that look you do when you really want something, and he'll cave. Plus, there's no way the police would be able to find you at Hogwarts. If being sober makes you that incredibly against the idea, I'll get you baked right before we go into his office. You know you want to, and if it'll make you happy we can have a Jay and Silent Bob movie marathon right before we leave to go see him. Oh and Eve? Don't ever call me Coco again. It's undignified, and slightly offensive." At the last line, Eve grinned; she had officially found her nickname for the white-haired dragon.

Lighting up another cigarette, the other having been snubbed not 30 seconds ago, she considered the poorly thought out, incredibly stupid idea. Darkly lined eyes closed once again as she started to really contemplate her friend's seemingly insane idea. If only her heritage wouldn't cause so much damn trouble, and then a thought occurred to her.

"It would be a really, really bad idea to go into the Headmaster's office stoned." Knowing that he had won the battle, Draco cracked up. It would be a terrible, yet hilariously bad idea.

"It would be funny, to say the least. I almost wonder if he would even realize what's wrong with us." The two laughed loud and hard, thinking of all the bad things that could happen if he would happen to know.

On the other side of London, things weren't quite so cheerful however.

"This is a bad idea." The blonde woman sighed; her best friend could be quite the idiot sometimes.

"No, it's not, and you'll see that when it works out fine. I mean, how hard could it really be to handle a bunch of kids? I grew up with my younger siblings, and in case you've forgotten, I helped raise most of them." A fang earing was dangling and flopping slightly with the man's movements. Bill sighed; Fleur could be so incredibly untrusting sometimes.

"Bill! You didn't raise these kids, and you know that the Slytherins will get on your back because of your last name. They will be mean; they will do everything in their power to hurt you. They do not like Weasleys! How thick headed are you? They will tear you to shreds!" Face flushed with anger, Bill couldn't help but wonder, not for the first time, what it would have been like if the two of them had been straight. He figured it would not have been pleasant, with all the fighting they did, with how easily they got on each other's last nerve.

"Listen. Dumbledore asked me to fill the position. I've already agreed, there's not a whole lot to do about it anymore. Please, Fleur, for the love of whatever deity that you should happen to believe in, let it drop. I would like to ask you if you'd come with me, to be my assistant. I've already asked the Headmaster if it would be alright, and he said it's fine. So will you?" Hazel eyes looked pleadingly at her, and one veela found that she couldn't say 'no' for the life of her.

"Fine. Know that if they give you or I any trouble, I won't be held responsible for any actions I take against the obnoxious little snots." The eldest Weasley grinned, he wouldn't have to be far from his best friend after all, that and hopefully with her there he could stay sane.

Cool, well that's the second chapter. Do with it whatever you please, but I'd like reviews. They make me feel good. :)
