Evelyn was excited to see her first Quidditch match. She sat with Ron and Hermione. She watched intently, grinning and cheering when Gryffindor took the first point. The game was exciting, like watching the Hunter games when she was too young to compete. She cheered for the twins, too.

Just then, Evelyn noticed that Harry was wobbling on his broom. She gulped and watched nervously as it began to bolt around, seemingly with a life of its own. She heard the others say something about Snape, but she wasn't paying attention. Harry fell, and she cried out. He was alright, and he even caught the snitch in his mouth. Gryffindor won the game.

After the game, Evelyn went down to congratulate the team, waiting her turn patiently. When the twins spotted her, they gave her a big, sweaty hug. Evelyn laughed and exclaimed, "you did great!" They seemed to enjoy her praise.

That night, Evelyn went out to Hagrid's hut like she normally did. She and Hagrid had worked out a deal; she would do chores for him, making her stronger, and he would teach her more about magical creatures. When she finished at Hagrid's, she would go out onto the more with her daggers and practice her moves. Sometimes, she went into the forest, and would train there. Her body began to feel like her own again, and she knew she was stronger when she ran into various creatures in the dungeons at night and had no trouble defeating them. Of course, no one else knew about this.

Winter break neared, and Evelyn wondered if she should go home or not. She had yet to write back to Cole. She learned that Harry and the Weasleys were staying over break. The twins urged her to stay as well, but she was still iffy. Evelyn was homesick. It was strange for her, since she was a nomad, but she missed her family. So, she wrote Cole that she would be home, and wished everyone a "Merry Christmas, whatever that is."

Evelyn had little trouble finding her clan. They were camped on a hill overlooking the ruins of an ancient castle. She was so happy to see them, and a celebration was held for her return. She spent the time catching up on her training and hunting more creatures. She and Cole even built a snowman. Simon put in pinecones for eyes and rocks for a mouth.

However, that time soon came to an end, and Evelyn was sent back to Hogwarts.


"What do you mean, Snape is the ref?" Evelyn was incredulous. "You'll lose for sure!" Harry nodded, "but we have to try. If I can catch the snitch, we'll win."

After the game, Evelyn was furious. She had missed Harry catching the snitch because Ron and Neville got in a fight with Malfoy. She had broken it up, forcibly making them sit down. She refused to speak to any of them, even at supper, where she spoke with Lee and the twins the whole time.


Hagrid got a dragon egg. One night, he asked Evelyn to watch it while he went out to gather some things. She sat next to the egg, writing a letter to her brother. He would be thrilled when he found out that Hagrid had a Norwegian Ridgeback egg. She was even there with Ron, Harry, and Hermione when it was born.

Evelyn gasped, "oh, it's beautiful!" The other three thought otherwise, but Hagrid agreed. "I'm naming him Norbert." Evelyn knew the dragon was female, but she didn't say anything. She did, however, notice Malfoy peering in. Harry did too.

However, the dragon was saved. They managed to get it to Ron's brother Charlie safely to be transported to Romania. Evelyn comforted Hagrid. Afterwards, she went off by herself over the moor. She laid down in the grass and stared up at the moon. It was almost full.


Evelyn didn't see what the big deal about the point loss was, but she guessed that it was important to the others, so she let it go. She stayed on her own for a while, studying for the finals. She still had lunch with Malfoy, and still played pranks with the twins, but other than that, she studied.

She often studied with Neville. She enjoyed teaching him, and teaching him helped her to study as well.


One day, Evelyn sat in the courtyard, waiting for Draco. She had already eaten, and was laying on her back by the time he arrived. "How did detention go?" She grinned at him, but faltered when he gave her a look. He told her the story of the unicorn blood. Evelyn did her best to comfort him.


Evelyn listened intently to Harry's story about the trapdoor chamber. She wished she had been there. She could have helped. Hermione assured her that just keeping quiet would be help enough. Evelyn agreed.

Somehow, Gryffindor won the house cup.


That summer, Evelyn was called with Einar and a rogue named Mira to the Malfoy estate. They met Lucius Malfoy in the entrance hall, and Evelyn let Einar do all the talking. That is, until Lucius turned to her. "My son talks about you sometimes. Evelyn, correct?" "Yes sir," Evelyn bowed her head respectfully, though she was pleased that Draco had mentioned her. "He tells me that you are a powerful friend. I'm pleased that you have decent taste in people." That was the end of their conversation.

They had to kill a dragon. It was a Hebridean Black, a vicious beast, and it was going to be a dangerous task. And, it was a big one. On average, this type of dragon is about 30 feet long as an adult, but this one was supposed to be over 45 feet long. Evelyn grinned at the thought as they went out across the rocky hills. She could make a new set of growing armor with it.

The creation of growing armor was a technique unique to the Hunters. It required the complete body of an adult dragon. If Evelyn made the killing blow, the body was hers. The armor was like a second layer of skin that grew as it's bearer did and was incredibly flexible, and had all the perks of dragon hide armor. It was worth a fortune, but Hunters rarely sold it. Evelyn bubbled with excitement.

Draco, Lucius, and Lucius's wife Narcissa went with them, wanting to see the battle. Einar warned them to stay back.

They reached the dragon's nest. It was empty at the moment, but Mira said that the dragon would return soon. She began setting traps, and Einar scouted the land. Evelyn drew her daggers and escorted the Malfoy family to a safe distance away, then headed back. She stretched, her excitement going. The dragon appeared over the horizon, flying towards its nest.

Einar first caught its attention while Evelyn hid behind a rock. Evelyn held the ropes of her traps, ready to spring them. As soon as the dragon landed, it was tangled in ropes. Einar began banging his sword against his shield, then ducked behind his shield when the dragon breathed fire. It was then that Evelyn struck. Climbing the leg of the dragon and using her daggers as leverage, she ran up the neck, feeling the warmth through her boots as the fire raged in its belly. With no robes to hinder her, she didn't slip.

She went right up to it's head, then felt for its spine. It began tossing its head, roaring in fury, but Evelyn held on, digging her fingers under its scales. She found the tender spot she was looking for, right where the head met the neck, and drove her daggers in.

The dragon fell dead. It was a clean kill. Evelyn grinned and held on when it slumped to the ground, striking what she thought was a majestic pose on its head as everything settled. Einar laughed, "the little moth is victorious once again!" Evelyn jumped to the ground, "I can make my own set of growing armor now!" Einar ruffled her hair.

The Malfoys approached. Draco seemed impressed, but he kept quiet. Einar concluded business and took the money. Evelyn and Mira prepared the dragon to be dragged back.

With the help of the craftsmen, Evelyn soon had a set of growing armor that was the colour of shadows. It was incredibly comfortable, and with it, she felt more prepared than ever for year 2 at Hogwarts.
