Evangeline Marie Harper was a girl with long blond hair, and sparkling blue eyes. Her mother's spiting image. She was sitting in an old classroom, reading a book.

Evie considered herself ha happy girl, even though her father wasn't a part of her life. When she was eight, her mother explained her why.

"Is my father dead?" Evie asked her mother when she came into the kitchen.

Elizabeth sighed she heard that question. She had dared it for a long time.

"It is time you know the truth" She said, kneeling in front of her daughter "Your father isn't dead honey"

"Than, why isn't he here?" Evie asked confused

"He left a long time ago, when you were very little. He did some bad things to innocent people, so he was punished, sent to prison" Elizabeth continued

"But if he wasn't there, would he be here?" Evie insisted

"I don't think so sweetheart" Elizabeth answered sadly "His mind worked differently from ours"

"So he didn't love us?" Evie asked with tears starting to fall from her eyes

"That is something only he knows…" Elizabeth told her daughter "But even if he doesn't, it wasn't because of you, it was because of himself. And I want you to know that I love very, very much, princess, more than I love myself"

Evie smiled a little and hugged her mother.

Returning to the real world, Evie resumed reading her book.

A few minutes later she heard the door open and her mother came in along with a tall woman with long brown hair and dark brown eyes.

"Evie, this is my old friend Mia Davis" Liz said, pointing to her friend "Mia, this is my daughter Evie"

"Are you sure she is not your clone?" Mia asked playfully "She surely looks like it"

"You're not the first person to ask her that" Evie answered shaking her hand "Nice to meet you. Mom talked about you all the time"

"She did? I guess I'm not a forgettable person"

"Oh, shut up!" Liz said "You met my kid, now I want to meet yours"

"I'm sorry, but Izzy is helping with the reconstruction so I haven't the faintest idea where she is" Mia apologised "Still, you can meet Mandy and Alex, they are in the great hall"

"Off we go, then" Liz said "Want to come along sweetie?" Liz asked her daughter.

"Sure" Evie answered joining her mother.

The astronomy tower was anything but in a good shape.

The stairs were in ruins so Izzy and Luna had to climb them like a cliff.

On the top of them, three people were standing: a girl with bushy brown hair, a red headed boy and another plump boy with a round face.

"Honestly Ronald!" The girl was yelling to the red headed boy "You could have gotten yourself hurt! Or killed! These wall are very unstable! What if they fell on top of you?!"

"I'm sorry Hermione" He apologised "I promise I'll be more careful"

"Fine" Hermione answered "As long as you don't do it again! It was very irresponsible of you" Don't you agree with me Neville?"

The round-headed boy was about to answer when he saw Luna "Oh…Hi Luna! Who is your friend?"

"This is Isabelle" Luna answered "She is going to help us in the reconstruction" Luna continued "Isabelle, meet Ron Hermione and Neville"

"Hello, nice to meet you. You can call me Izzy" She said "Everyone does"

"It is nice to meet you too" Hermione said "I'm sorry you had to hear me and Ron fighting. We are usually peaceful"

"Sure they are … when they're kissing" Neville whispered to Izzy, who giggled.

"No problem" she answered.

Luna was looking around, like she was searching for something "Where is Ginny? And Harry?"

"The are working their things out" Ron answered "About bloody time"

"Language!" Hermione snapped.

"So, shall we start working?" Izzy asked.

"We'd better. We've got loads to do" Neville declared.

"There they are" Mia said when her two youngest children came to view.

"Where?" Liz asked

"Right in the corner" Mia answered

They walked through all the people in the hall followed by Evie and when they were about to reach the corner where the twins were playing, they were intercepted by Molly Weasley who immediately hugged Mia.

When Mia got free of the hug, Molly asked "Amelia Kathleen! Where have you been all these years?!"

"Hello to you too aunt Molly" Mia answered "And don't call me Amelia. It's Mia!" Molly Weasley was her mother's cousin, however, she always considered Molly her aunt.

"That is not the point" Molly insisted "We thought you were captured, or killed!"

"I was hiding, under Dumbledore's orders! I'm sorry, I couldn't make contact with anyone except him and Professor McGonagall"

"I'm glad you're alive" Molly declared before turning to Liz "Elizabeth, it is good to see you too. Is this your daughter?" she asked referring Evie.

"Yes, she is. Her name is Evangeline. Evie, this is Molly Weasley" Liz said

"I'm sure everyone tells you this, honey. But you look just like your mother." Molly declared

"I've noticed. Pleased to meet you Mrs. Weasley" Evie greeted Molly

"Oh, how polite. Call me Molly sweetheart" Molly Weasley said sternly.

"Now, can I please reach my children" Mia asked

"Children?! Wait, you are the twins' mother? And Isabelle's?"

"Yes, I am" Mia answered "Speaking of twins, I heard of Fred. I'm so sorry aunt Molly"

"I can't believe he is gone" Molly said with tears starting to leave her eyes.

"I really don't know what to say" Mia said hugging her.

"Go, and take care of your children" Molly said "Just don't forget to let me borrow them sometimes, so I can spoil them to rotten" she continued "They really are something"

"I know" she answered "Missed mommy?" Mia asked the toddlers when she reached them.

"Mommy!" They greeted their mother jumping to her arms.

"Alex, Mandy, I want you to meet my friend Liz" Mia told them while pointing to Liz "You can call her auntie Liz".

Liz kneeled in front of them and greeted them "Hi guys! It is really nice to meet you"

"Are'u mommy's sissy?" Mandy asked.

"Kind of" Liz answered

"U can't be 'kin'of' someone's sissy" Alex replied looking confused.

"Auntie Liz is a very good friend of mommy" Mia explained "Like my sissy. So, yes, she is kind of mommy's sissy. And this" Mia said pointing to Evie "is Evie. She is kind of your cousin"

"S'now we have'an auntie and a cousi?" Mandy asked. Mia nodded and the twins smiled.

They turned to Evie and Alex asked "Can u tell us a stowy?"

"Sure" she answered smiling

"Minerva, I think we should tell Amelia as soon as possible" Dumbledore's portrait declared

"I agree. But I think we should fill him with the news first. Poppy said he should be waking up any moment" Minerva declared looking at the figure that was laying in the couch "How did this happen Albus?"

"I think it must be related with Bellatrix Lestranges's death" Snape's portrait answered

"I have the same opinion Severus" Dumbledore answered "I have an assignment for you" he continued "I need you to go and visit Rupert Pierpont's portrait. It is located right next to Minerva's old office. He was the unspeakable in charge of studying the arch. If anyone knows the answer, it is him"

"Of course, Albus" and he left

"What do we do now?" Minerva inquired

"Now we wait" he answered observing the figure in the couch.
