Hi! So heres chapter ten, again I own noting:

Chapter 10: The DADA Professor

Eva awoke the next morning just as sore as the previous day, but she was happy. She'd don a little better during her training. And then shed spent the rest of the day with Thranduil helping him inspect the wineries. Looking around the dorm room, Eva noticed she was the first to wake and went to quickly shower. Eva came back into the room when the girls were just getting up. Eva grabbed all her clothes and things out of her trunk and then got into her bed and closed the curtains. She then mumbled luminous, creating a light at the tip of her wand, making her smile.

Though Eva could make light in her hand, she liked to use her wand and perform magic like the other witches on earth. It made her feel more normal, and gave her a sense of belonging, which Eva sometimes found difficult. She was well aware that she was an interloper to this dimension and she sometimes wished she wasn't. She loved Middle earth and wouldn't give up visiting it for anything, but she sometimes wished she were like other girls her age. She wished she could dream, she wondered what it was like to get tired, she wondered what is was like to have a mother. Though Eva had her Grandmother Galadriel and her sister, the one thing she lacked in her family was a mother.

So doing things that helped her fit in with the humans made Eva happy, it made her feel like she belonged. And so she was happy she could finally use all the spells she had been reading about in her books, because it cemented the fact that these witches and wizard were very much like her and maybe she could finally fit in. Eva then dressed and opened the curtains to her bed and step out.

Pavartie seeing Eva was wearing another beautiful dress made the snide comment, "I thought you were a muggle born, where's all your muggle clothes."

Eva said, "there in the trunk. I thought these dresses matched the wizarding world fashions more."

Pavartie said, "they do, sort of. But you just look like a pureblood wanabee."

Eva narrowed her eyebrows and said with dangerous venom, "the only thing I want to be is my self. Though I loathe fittings, I enjoy wearing nice clothes. And I happen to like wearing this fashion. So you Pavartie Patiel can back the Fuck Off!"

Eva saw Lavender snort and Hermione opened her mouth to say something but decided not to. Pavartie said, "no need to be rude. I was simply saying what other people will think."

Eva stated, "do I look like I care what others think." Eva then grabbed the book shed gotten on beauty and began flipping through the pages till she found and incredibly intricate hairstyle with many different sized braids pinned up into a bun. Eva pulled out her pins she'd need and then flicked of her wand at her hair and the pins. Slowly her hair began to move on its own and the pins slipped themselves into her hair. It only took a minute and when she was done Lavender and Pavartie were gone.

Hermione walked over to the mirror and began to brush her bushy hair, "your hair looks really nice like that. You look like a medieval princess."

Eva strait faced made eye contact with Hermione through the mirror, "I'm not a princess, I'm a queen."

Hermione looked at her for a moment and then they both burst out laughing. Hermione smiled and went to get her things, "lets go to breakfast."

The two girls made it down to breakfast with only getting lost once, and then they ate their breakfast together. Eva noted Harry was sitting between Ron and Seamus. While Eva was looking over at him wondering if he was avoiding her or not, Harry looked up and they made eye contact until Harry broke it by quickly looking away. Because of his reaction, Eva was certain he was avoiding her. But, why? She figured she should go and ask, but she was scared, she didn't want to be rejected again. Eva frowned it was the orphanage all over again. She just wanted people to like her.

Eva then sighed, and pulled out her I-pod, which she'd grabbed from her things. She decided she should try to test it. Hermione seeing the I-pod said, "oh Eva electronics won't work here."

Eva nodded, "I know, me and my best friend/sister Celia fiddled a bit with it so that the battery runs on magic and not electricity. And then I etched the circumference of it with ruins that protect it from any other magic. Kind of like a surge protector. I just want to see if it works or not."

Hermione asked, "ware did you learn that?"

Gandalf and Lord Elrond had been teaching Eva about ruin magic since she was able to write, but she decided to not mention them. So she said, "oh I got this ruins encyclopedia and I just sort of copied a spell and improvised a few things."

Curious Hermione said, "well turn it on. See if it works."

Eva gave Hermione an ear bud, "hold on to your butts." Hermione knowing the movie reference chuckled, and Eva turned it on. There was a moment pause and then suddenly the little white apple appeared on the screen. Excited, Hermione and Eva both let out a shrill scream of joy, that filled the Great Hall causing most of the students and Professors to look over at the two girls. Eva got up and did her happy dance, which consisted of her clapping while, hopping up in down and doing a little jig. All the while having a manic grin plastered on her face.

She yelled, "It works, it works!" She then gave a loud maniacal laugh, "I AM A GENIUS!" Eva then bounced happily on her heals, and started to go through her play list. She asked Hermione, "what do you want to listen to? I got like everything."

Hermione looked over the screen, still slightly in awe that Eva has gotten the I-pod to work, "oh Kat Pary, do you have her new one."

Eva nodded, "yup." Eva pressed play and they listened 'This How We Do' They then both excitedly listen to it for a moment. Eva mouthed the words and danced for a moment. Till Hermione motioned that they should sit. They both sat down and listened to music while they finished eating their breakfast not noticing that the entire great hall had gone quiet with Evas yelling.

McGonagall asked, "I wonder what that was about?"

Snape who sat next to her snidely said, "probably something idiotic."

Dumbledore commented, "she was holding something up in the air."

Professor Sprout cut in, "Oh Albus, I wanted to request to have Eva work only in the green house. She absolutely amazing with plants, A total natural, you should have of seen her yesterday, I left her to simply water the plants and when I came back I found her singing the most beautiful song, which the plants were all swaying along with. And that's not even the most surprising thing, I found her replanting the mandrakes and the one she had in her arms was happily babbling and cooing. In all my years I've never seen something like that, and I wouldn't believe it, but I saw it with my own eyes. I know Severus requested her on weekends and Thursday. But I think she got potential as a Herbologist."

Before Dumbledore could answer Snape cut in, "that will be impossible Padama. I need someone to help me prep and make potions."

Sprout nodded, "yes I understand that Severus. But can't you get a student who is aspiring to be a potionier."

Dumbledore cut in, "now we've always shared the work study students. If Severus finds her inefficient then we'll talk."

Sprout frowned, "very well." She then got up from the table, "I need to go prep for my class."

Eva and Hermione, were partners in Herbology. For the first part of class they listened to Professor Sprouts lecture, and then the professor sent them off to work with the plants.

After Herbology they went to Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA) and when Eva set eyes on Professor Quirel she immediately felt on edge. During the class Eva discovered that Professor Quirels room smelt of garlic, and he said that the turban he wore was given to him by an African prince for getting rid of a troublesome zombie. However, when Seamus Finnegan asked him how he got ride of the zombie Quirel quickly changed the subject. Eva had noted the turban smelt awful. And to her utter horror, when Eva had looked at the stuttering mans soul, she had noticed dark magic had polluted him. It readily swirled inside him, and Eva felt that his soul was corrupted, though she could not see what it was that corrupted his soul, besides the dark magic. But she felt like it was evil, and was eerily similar to that of a Nazgoul. Eva decided she would stay far away from Professor Quirel, every one though he was some addled innocent man. But, what Eva felt inside of him was far from innocent.

After DADA Eva and Hermione went to lunch, again Harry sequestered himself with the boys this time the twins. Though Eva didn't really notice, her thoughts were filled with Professor Quirel, and his corrupted soul. He was bad; while she nibbled on her lunch, Eva debated on telling someone. If the Professor was evil then he shouldn't be a teacher. He wasn't like Snape whose soul was also touched by dark magic, but Snape didn't give off the evil vibe. He just gave off Mr. grumpy/bitter old man vibe. Eva looked up to find Quirel, he was trying to talk to Professor McGonagall, but his stuttering made it quite hard to get his point across. Eva then though 'McGonagall is our head of house she'd be the person to talk to.'

Hermione then got up from the table, "well I'm going to go the library and get started on our homework. You want to come?"

Eva said, "I want to ask McGonagall something. So I'll catch up with you." Hermione nodded and then left to go to the library.

Evangeline waited for McGonagall to leave the table and then walked out of the hall and headed to her office where Eva met up with the Professor. Eva hesitantly asked, "Professor can I talk to you?"

McGonagall looked up from some papers she was reading at her desk and answered, "of course. Miss grey. What can I help you with."

Eva shut the door and sat down in a chair in front of McGonagall desk. She sighed, "I don't want others to hear what I'm about to tell you." McGonagall nodded in understanding but waited for the girl to continue. Eva said, "I found out something very disturbing. It's professor Quirel, his souls corrupt. And all I can see in him is dark magic."

McGonagall narrowed her eyes and asked, "what do you mean?"

Eva said, "It's his soul it's been corrupted by something. I can't tell what, but I sense a lot of dark magic in him, and." Eva hesitated then said, "and he feels evil, I've only meet one being who felt as evil as him, and he was a minion of a Dark Lord." Eva knew Mcgonagal would not understand what a Nazgoul was or who Sauron was, but the people in Middle earth called him a Dark Lord, and because of the wizarding worlds past with Dark Lords she figured McGonagall would understand.

McGonagall tensed and her face became very stern, "excuses me Miss. Grey, but Professor Quirel came in contact with some dark creatures and it has addled him but he is not evil. Nor is he working for any dark wizards." They were both quiet, Eva had bitten her lip not sure what to say, she knew what she had felt. McGonagall continued, "I don't know what your thinking accusing Professor Quirel of such things, and for your information no one not even proper Divinators can see or sense a persons soul. So what you are saying is utter poppycock. Professor Quirel is a kind, but very frightened man. He is harmless Miss. Grey. So what you are saying I find falls, and offensive on a number of levels. Do you think the Headmaster would appoint a dark wizard as a teacher?"

Eva though, 'well he has, intentionally or not.' But she kept her mouth shut. McGonagall continued, "and I will not tolerate any roomers spreading about such things. If I hear such things around the school I'll know who they came from, and there will be severe consequence am I understood."

Eva nodded, "yes Professor."

McGonagall said, "that is all, and I don't want to hear such malicious accusations again Miss. Grey."

Eva nodded and without saying anything walked out. Evangeline was fuming, and began to quietly rant to herself, 'no one ever listens. No one ever believes me. Their all so bloody narrow-minded, they cant even see what in front of them.'

Eva kept walking without any direction in mind and it was about an hour into her wandering that she felt a carpet pulled out from under her. Eva caught her self before she fell, and looked up to see what was above her, to only have Peeves the palter ghost grab her nose and yell, "got your conk."

Eva being angry and upset made a growl, and gathered her magic in her hand and then concentrated on banishing him, she let the magic go in the middle of his body. The bright white light pushed the ghost away from her face. Pushing him and all the way through the ceiling. Through multiple floors of the school until Peeves in absolute surprise, found himself on the school roof. He looked around for a moment and thought, 'how the hell had a little firstie don that?' But absolutely embarrassed that a first year had gotten the better of him, decide he would never mention it to anyone.

Mrs. Norris was the only witness to what Evangeline had don. The cat stared at Eva from down the hall debating if she should get her Filtch or not. The cat then made eye contact with Eva, decided she probably should get him. The cat turned to go when the girl said, "wait please I'm absolutely lost." Mrs. Norris froze; the girl had spoken in the tongue of animals. Eva approached the large cat and said, "I'm new and I've manage to get fully turned around. Do you know where the library is?"

Mrs. Norris said, "you're the first human who I've heard speak the tongue of animals."

Eva nodded, "yah I learned it from a friend. So can you help me?"

The cat studied her for a moment, "very well follow me."

Eva began to walk beside the cat and asked, "your Mr. Filtchs familiar aren't you."

The cats tail flicked in acknowledgement, "He's my human yes, I help him keep the order hear at school."

Eva nodded, "yes I was told about that."

Mrs. Norris regally said, "yes, children can be quite messy and mischievous when not watched. I like to help my Filtch so that he doesn't have to work so hard."

Looking at the cat Eva felt she was talking to a noble, but in Evas experience cats were always very regal and thought highly of themselves. She gave a smile no matter if it was the wizarding world, the normal world, or middle earth cats never changed. Eva said, "that very considerate of you."

The cat looked up at Eva and gave her a slow blink acknowledging Eva as a friend, "I suppose."

The two walked in silence for a while until they reached the library. Eva said, "thank you for helping me."

Mrs. Norris, looked up at her, "your welcome, it was quiet amusing to see what you did to Peeves. He's always being a pest to my human."

Eva chuckled, "yes I heard he's a bit of a nuisance to everyone."

The cat said, "yes. Well don't misbehave. I need to go parole the library now."

Eva smiled and nodded, "goodbye."

Eva then sat down and did her homework next to Hermione. Hermione then dragged Eva to dinner, where Eva ate quickly and then they both went to the library to read their own books. It was just a little past seven when Eva felt something jump up onto her lap.

Looking down she found it was Mrs. Norris, who said in an exasperated tone, "I am tired, and all the chairs are taken."

Eva nodded and asked, "may I pet you."

The cat said, "yes I'll allow you to. But don't touch my stomach, I'm highly ticklish."

Eva nodded, "alright." She then petted the cat and scratched her cheeks and the back of her ears, making Mrs. Norris purr loudly. Eva noticed she got a lot of odd stares but decided to ignore them and continued to read.
