Chapter 6.
Thank you so much to SlightlyCrazyYetSane for helping me :-)
I OWN NOTHING. I JUST OWN A FEW CHARACTERS LIKE JOHN AND EVANNA :)
Excitement and eagerness filled the room. Students started standing up and pushing each other so they could get a better look.
"But sir, what if we're not ready?" asked Elmory, a Gryffindor.
"That is why we're practicing," said Professor Cotes strictly.
Elmory didn't say another word, and got in the line that had automatically formed. Evanna was literally squealing with joy, she let out a fan girl squeal. She had practiced spells with her fake wand at home before, but this was the real deal. Evanna was third in line, behind Sirius. Sirius and James had pushed everyone out of the line, so they could be in front.
"Go Mr. Potter," said Cotes.
"I have a name you know. It's James," said James, annoyed. He didn't know how the professor knew his name, but decided not to think about it much.
"I don't really care. Now go!" said Cotes sternly.
"Flipendo!" shouted James.
The dummy teetered back and forth, and then regained its balance. James was quite proud, he grinned at Sirius as he walked back to the end of the line.
"Next," said Cotes.
Sirius walked forward, and concentrated on the dummy.
"Flipendo!" shouted Sirius.
Sirius' force was greater than James', but not even Sirius knocked the dummy over. It seemed as if it was going to fall back, but it soon gained its balance. Sirius smirked cheekily at James. James rolled his eyes.
It was Evanna's turn. Excitement filled her body as she stepped forward.
"Flipendo!" She yelled.
Her force was so weak, the dummy barely went back. There were snickers from the line behind her.
"Mudblood," said Bellatrix in an arrogant tone.
Evanna turned toward Bellatrix, hate in her eyes.
"Shut up!" She yelled. "FLIPENDO!" Evanna shouted with anger and determination.
Bellatrix flew through the air and hit the wall. Students gasped, and some laughed. Severus stared at Evanna with amazement, Lily with concern.
"How dare you, you filthy mudblood! How dare you hurt your superiors?" Bellatrix roared. Evanna stared at her wand, surprised she did something so amazing.
"Excellent presentation of the spell Ms. Felton," he said looking at Evanna with a proud look. "That's quite enough Ms. Lestrange," said Cotes. Evanna stared at Cotes not believing her ears.
Did he just congratulate me? thought Evanna.
"Excuse me?" asked Bellatrix.
"You will not use that language in my room. To Professor McGonagall with you," said Cotes. Bellatrix opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out.
"Is there a problem?" Mr. Cotes said smiling.
Hah! You've been trolled! thought Evanna.
"To McGonagall's," repeated Cotes.
Bellatrix threw Cotes and Evanna a glare, and then stomped out the room.
"I'll be right back," said Cotes. He followed Bellatrix to make sure she got to McGonagall's room.
"You must study a lot," said girl impressed.
"Yeah, I purposely made my flipendo come out weak before," lied Evanna. This seemed to impress many people.
Lily frowned at Evanna's sentence, obviously seeing through the lie. Evanna gave Lily a pleading look, and Lily nodded at Evanna.
"Tch tch, tch. Temper temper!" said Sirius waving his finger at Evanna.
"Oh shut up," said Evanna.
"Aww, what you gonna do?" taunted Sirius.
"Or you'll be flying across the room like your beloved cousin!" yelled Evanna, who was beginning to get mad. Sirius didn't say anything, James threw Evanna a glare. Students started whispering about Merlin knows what, probably about Sirius and Bellatrix being related.
"Evanna relax, you might get detention this time," said Lily, trying to pull Evanna back.
"Oh no, these slimy Slytherins can always slither their way out of anything. Especially with their greasy hair," said Sirius looking at Severus. He couldn't resist, Severus was just standing in the back, glaring at Sirius for some reason.
"Don't you dare talk about Severus that way!" yelled Lily, who was now getting out her wand.
"Man, Lily, relax," said Evanna.
"Excuse me? I am not a man. And I will not relax," said Lily with anger in her eyes. Evanna decided it would be best if she just stayed back.
"Oh, I see what's going on here," said Sirius with a smirk on his face. Lily raised her wand.
"Lily! You'll get detention. It's probably you're boggart," said Evanna. She had muttered the last part under her breath.
"Hah. No, people with red or orange hair don't get detention from Cotes. He probably had an ex-girlfriend with that hair color. I mean really, who would stay with that man," said Sirius.
Students started laughing in the crowd, but no one was laughing harder than James.
"I mean honestly. Who would stay with the man? His moustache for one, and his oh so pleasant personality," said Sirius.
The crowd stopped laughing, and Evanna's hands were at her mouth.
"What, what did I say?" asked Sirius. Even James had stopped laughing, he still wanted to, but he wasn't.
"Turn around mate," whispered James.
Sirius turned around, and Professor Cotes was standing right behind him.
"Hello Mr. Black. Tell me more of your magnificent theory, we can maybe discuss my love life through detention?" said Professor Cotes.
"I erm…was talking about James and Lily," said Sirius.
"Oh, and when did James grow a moustache?" asked Cotes.
"Ew, that red head? No thanks," said James quietly, but Lily heard him.
"Any more excuses Mr. B-" started Cotes.
"Excuse me! Ew?" yelled Lily.
"Don't you dare speak when I do. Evans, Potter, Black, dentition!" shouted Cotes.
"Detention?" whispered Lily in a worried tone.
Evanna smiled. She wasn't smiling at the fact that Lily had gotten detention, she was smiling at the fact that Lily and James would one day get married. Students were standing there motionless staring at their professor.
"Class dismissed!" said Professor Cotes. "Except for you four," he said pointing at Lily, Evanna, James and Sirius. Everyone got out quickly.
"I'm sorry Lily," whispered Severus quietly as he walked by Lily.
"Why are you smiling?" professor Cotes asked Evanna.
"I can't tell you," said Evanna.
"Oh? And why is that?" asked Professor Cotes.
Evanna sighed. "Because, if I tell anyone, our world can be destroyed. Professor Dumbledore said so," said Evanna. She wasn't lying, but no one believed her.
"Fascinating, you can explain more in detention," said Cotes.
Evanna grunted. The next minutes, Evanna, Sirius, James and Lily were following Cotes out of the room. They were half way there, when they met McGonagall.
"Where are you taking these students?" asked McGonagall.
"Detention," replied Cotes. The way the two were talking, it seemed as if they didn't like each other much. McGonagall looked at Sirius and James, as if this is what she was expecting, her expression changed when she saw Lily.
"Ms. Evans, you managed yourself to get in detention as well?" asked McGonagall.
Lily nodded, still not believing she was in detention.
"I didn't do anything wrong," Lily tried to explain.
"I think you send too many students to detention. I just had Bellatrix, I sent her back to the common room by the way," said McGonagall.
Cotes rolled his eyes. Sirius and James smirked. Minerva looked at Lily, and then at Cotes, she then sighed. McGonagall started to walk away slowly.
"Professor Cotes," Evanna began.
McGonagall stopped walking, she wanted to know what Evanna had to say.
"Yes, Evanna?" asked Professor Cotes.
"I can't serve detention right now, because I have to go see the Headmaster. This is the only time I can before lunch, and it's really important," said Evanna.
"You can tell me what it is, and I shall decide if it's important or not," snapped Cotes.
"Actually, it is important; I have straight orders from Dumbledore to send Evanna straight to his office if she needs to discuss this," said McGonagall.
Wow, thought Evanna.
"What is this secretive thing being discussed?" asked Professor Cotes.
"No one knows, it's between the Headmaster and Evanna," said McGonagall.
"Could it be about the war stirring up?" asked Cotes, forgetting that the children were still standing there. They all stared at him in surprise.
"What war?" asked Sirius.
"Yea, why do we not know of this war?" asked James.
"Because, it is none of your business, now keep walking. McGonagall, will you please make sure Evanna gets to the Headmasters' office, and not anywhere else?" asked Professor Cotes, looking at McGonagall. McGonagall nodded, not saying another word. Evanna followed McGonagall to the Headmaster's office. They walked there in awkward silence, McGonagall wanted to ask Evanna so much, but she couldn't. She's had to wait till the Headmaster thought it be appropriate for her to know. They reached the ugly gargoyle, and McGonagall said the password.
"Here you are," said McGonagall.
"Thanks," said Evanna, as she slowly opened the big door to Dumbledore's office.
"Oh Evanna, I was just thinking of coming to you. Strange place this world," said Dumbledore as he smiled. Evanna smiled and nodded, then took a seat on the chair in front of Dumbledore's desk.
"I need to ask you two questions, if that's fine," said Evanna.
"I don't see why I would have a problem with that," said Dumbledore as he chuckled. "Ask away,"
"Okay, first of all, do you know the future?" asked Evanna. "And the future I know of, is that true? How can that be true? Did J.K. Rowling know the future?" asked Evanna.
Dumbledore chuckled, Evanna didn't find anything amusing at all.
"Ms. Rowling, extraordinary witch she was," started Dumbledore. "She wrote the future, from the past, not even I know the future. And you are not to tell anyone," sad Dumbledore.
"How, and I remember that I am not to tell anyone the future," said Evanna.
"As I always say, there are a few curious things in this world," said Dumbledore.
Evanna wanted to know more, but she had a more important question to ask.
My second question was, how do I get out of here?" asked Evanna, slightly worried.
"Death, I'm afraid the only answer is death," said Dumbledore looking at his glass which was half-full of water. The water lay there, perfectly still.
"Death? I don't understand," said Evanna.
"To get out, a person must kill themselves. However, this person cannot already be dying, and they must be under the age of twenty-five," said Dumbledore, who actually seemed upset.
"Oh, that's it?" asked Evanna. "That's pretty easy,"
"Yes, but I don't think you'll be thinking that when the time comes," said Dumbledore.
Evanna sighed. "That's what I thought," she said. "Thank you so much Professor, I must leave now," said Evanna. She got up the comfortable red chair, and left the room.
I could've sword that chair was blue last time thought Evanna. Evanna skipped to the great hall, it was now lunch time. Her stomach was grumbling, but she decided to avoid the great hall since Professor Cotes was in there. She sighed, and walked on. She was day-dreaming about random stuff, when she bumped into McGonagall.
"I'm so sorry," said Evanna apologetically.
"It's fine. Professor Cotes wants me to tell you that he will serve your detention next week," said McGonagall.
"How come?" asked Evanna.
"You can go ask him," said McGonagall.
"Sorry, and thanks," said Evanna.
After hearing the great news, Evanna decided to have lunch after all. Evanna was heading over to the Slytherin table, when James and Sirius stopped her as soon as she walked by the Gryffindor table.
"Tell us now!" yelled Sirius.
"Tell you what?" asked Evanna acting all innocent.
"About the war," said James as he gritted his teeth.
Heads turned from all tables. The teachers sat there, in the front of the hall, they couldn't hear Evanna, but they noticed the sudden quietness. Professor Cotes' eyebrow rose.
"I don't know anything about that. And even if I did, like I would tell two idiot Gryffindors like you," said Evanna, ignoring the heads that were turned to her. She walked to the Slytherin table, receiving glares from all the Gryffindors. She silently sat down, and to her surprise, there was beef casserole in her plate. She was just thinking about beef casserole. Evanna sat down and ate it, Bellatrix was giving her a death stare. Evanna felt as if everyone was glaring at her. She lost her appetite, so she decided to go to the library. When she got there, she saw Remus sitting there, alone.
Today's a full moon thought Evanna. Evanna went and sat down next to Remus.
"Hello Remus," said Evanna.
"Hello," replied Remus.
"What ya doin'?" Evanna asked.
"I'm just getting ready for muggles Studies," said Remus.
"Muggle Studies? Ooh, I hear that's boring," said Evanna.
The two decided to sit together and prepare for their next class.
"I need to know what's going on!" exclaimed James.
"Why?" asked Peter. James had let Peter sit down next to him today.
"Because Peter, I like knowing," snapped James.
Peter didn't say another word. They ate in silence, whispering about something occasionally. Five minutes before the next class was about to start, the food magically all disappeared.
"Better get to your classes," announced Dumbledore. Students started to leave the great hall, the Ravenclaws and Slytherins had formed a single file line, and the Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors were walking in a big crowd.
"Which class mate?" asked Sirius.
"Muggle Studies," replied James.
When they got to Muggle Studies, Remus and Evanna were already there, sitting on different tables. There was no teacher in the room, but the students all walked in anyway. As soon as all the students sat down, a lady walked in wearing heels and glasses. She had black hair in a half pony, and a black skirt. The woman had a slight tan, and her eyes were dark brown, she was pretty good-looking.
"Welcome to Muggle Studies students," said the teacher as she walked in the room quickly. "I am Almyra Burbage. You may call me Professor Burbage. I have a teacher assistant named Arthur. Arthur…where are you?" she said looking around. Professor Burbage seemed like a perky, but also very confused teacher.
"Here Professor," said Arthur Weasley. Arthur had orange hair, of course, but he was quite thin. He had that goofy look in his eyes and a kind smile on his face.
"Oh good," said the Professor. "Today, we will be testing your knowledge, does anyone know here what a lighty bulb is?" asked the Professor.
"Light bulb," corrected Arthur.
"Thank you dear," said Professor Burbage.
Many purebloods had confused looks on their faces, and halfbloods/muggleborns were rolling their eyes.
"A light bulb is a glass thing, which brightens up a room. It is triggered by a light switch," Evanna said as she raised her hand. No one else bothered, so it might as well be her.
"Good good, you're name?" said Professor Burbage.
"Evanna Mil- Felton. Evanna Felton," said Evanna. She hadn't told anyone her real name wasn't Evanna Felton. Felton was a fake last name; she was overly obsessed with Tom Felton.
"Good job Evanna," said Professor Burbage.
"Thanks," said Evanna smiling.
"Kiss up," Evanna heard Sirius whisper, he had just happened to take the seat behind her.
"We'll talk after class," Evanna whispered looking behind her.
Sirius nodded. They learned about the light bulb in class today, and had to write a one page essay about it. As soon as class was dismissed, the students ran out of class. When Evanna got out, Sirius was standing in the corner.
"As I was saying, just because I know more doesn't make me a kiss up,"
"You don't know more than me. Tell me something about my past," said Sirius grinning.
Evanna grinned widely. "Okay then. You live in Number 12, Grimmauld Place, that's the Black house. You're uncle Phineas Nigellus Black is the least popular headmaster at Hogwarts, you're mothers name is Walburga, and you're whole family follows the pure-blood mania," said Evanna. Sirius stared at Evanna, he opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out. The information that Evanna had given him, only James knew about it. "You're a dark witch!" yelled Sirius as he ran away. Dark witch? thought Evanna. She didn't mean to scare Sirius, he asked her a question, and she told him the answer, nothing dark about it. "James! James!," shouted Sirius as he ran in to the Gryffindor common room. James was sitting there, trying to figure out how a light bulb worked. He was sitting with Remus, who had invited Peter over since Peter was sitting alone. "What is it Sirius?" asked James. "Evanna…don't go near her," said Sirius "Why?" asked James and Remus in unison. "She's a dark witch," whispered Remus. Remus let out a laugh. "What?" asked James, raising his eye-brow. "I asked her to tell me something about my childhood, and she gave me my whole life story! She even knows about my uncle, you're the only one outside of the Black family who knows about my uncle," said Sirius. "That doesn't mean she's a dark witch, just because she knows about your past," said Remus as he sighed. "How could she find out then?" asked Sirius. "Remus is right…maybe Bellatrix told her," said Sirius. Peter was sitting there, observing the conversation between the three boys. "Okay, I may be over-reacting, but you better watch out. I mean there was something to do with a war, and she supposedly plays some role in it," said Sirius. "Yea, Peter, warn the Gryffindors…tell them to be careful around her," ordered James. Peter enthusiastically nodded and was off. Remus looked toward the ceiling, rolling his eyes. The three boys, Remus, Sirius and James sat in silence for about five minutes; Lily then came. "Peter just told me the most ridiculous thing!" "Oh dear, why'd Peter tell you," groaned James. "How so very sweet f you to join us today Ms. Lily," said Sirius. "You're spreading rumors! How would you like it if people were spreading rumors about you?" asked Lily. "Wouldn't mind it, and it's NOT a rumor," said Sirius. "She might've stalked you, but that doesn't mean she's evil, okay?" said Lily. Scott came in with a cross McGonagall, the discussion ended right there.
