I do not own Harry Potter
The Potions Master
It had been a few days since the first letter arrived and since then, more had been coming. And each time they came, Eva was yelled at and each time it happened she told Jacob to stop sending them to her, which he would then apologize for and tell her he had accidentally ordered too many and was just making sure she got them all, he promised it would stop soon. It was now Sunday, and uncle Vernon had been adamant that none would be delivered today as there was no post on Sundays. Eva figured there would be another one, Jacob would probably make sure she got one every day of the week until however many he had ordered were gone, she knew he had gotten over a hundred, though.
"It's just a joke, Jacob is the one sending them."
She revealed that morning at breakfast, she wasn't expecting the angry faces of her aunt and uncle, nor the shouting that came with it.
"There's another in the neighborhood?" Uncle Vernon had asked, his face going beet red.
"Should have known, that no good daughter of hers ran off at such a young age to be with some man. No wonder she wanted to watch you so often." Her aunt sneered.
Eva was thoroughly confused at this, as was her cousin. It was one of the rare moments when they would share a look and wonder if his parents were crazy, it hadn't been the first time it happened between them. Their ranting seemed to go on forever and after a while, Eva and Dudley left them to it when it got too much for them. He went out with his gang and she went over to Jacobs. As she headed for the door she could see into the window slightly, there was a man dressed in all black standing in their living room talking to Mrs. Figg. She didn't pay too much attention to him as she went to knock on the door, she stood there for a few moments and looked down at her shoes as she teetered on her heels. Jacob heard the knock and got up to answer it, he figured it was just his friend and not one of the neighbors or worse, the Dursley's, he pulled it open with a small smile.
"Hey Eva, come in." He told her, he figured she could meet the man who was here to tell her about her school since he couldn't.
"We should just burn the rest of the letters or something, my aunt and uncle went a little mad when I told them you were the one sending them."
She said as she closed the door behind herself and headed for the living room.
"Oh well, that one might be the last one I send." He told her as he followed her into the room.
Mrs. Figg looked away from the man in black and to the two young children before her.
"She doesn't know a thing about it and we haven't told her, Dumbledore said they would."
She told him quietly, it was supposed to be a whisper but both kids had figured she couldn't whisper a while ago. What the man said wasn't heard though they did see his mouth move.
"What'd you mean by that?" Evangeline asked him as they set themselves down in front of the telly.
"You'll see," Jacob said as he flicked on some random channel.
The young girl shrugged and looked to the show, to her surprise it was Doctor Who.
"Haven't seen this in a while, huh Jake?" She asked her friend.
The young boy seemed a little preoccupied with something else, he looked over to her and gave a nod of the head then over to the two adults as they talked. It was a few moments later when the man cleared his throat.
"Miss. Potter, it is important that I speak with you and your ... guardians."
His voice sounded a bit cold and aloof. Evangeline looked at him and wondered why he needed to speak to her aunt and uncle, but she didn't really want to get into any trouble so she stood up.
"Oh, alright." She mumbled as her head hung low while heading to the door.
The two of them left the house and went across the street, she didn't know who this man was or why he wanted to talk with them but didn't want to get into trouble with anyone.
"Who are you?" Evangeline finally asked once they were at the door.
"My name is Severus Snape, you may call me Snape." He said in a monotone voice.
They walked into the home and the girl went into the kitchen to see if they were in there, she was glad they were so she wouldn't need to call them.
"There's a man here who wants to talk to you both." Evangeline mumbled quietly to them both.
Severus walked in behind her and looked at them with a blank look in his eyes.
"Have you been receiving her letters from school?" He questioned.
Sorry, I took so long to update, I'm trying not to. Anyways how is it?
