Lying in her bed Sunday night Eddie couldn't believe that she had actually agreed to be apart of Harry wedding. But after seeing Teddy- no Knott- with Carlina really struck something in her. After that initial pain of seeing them together, something occurred to her. There was no passion, just contentment, in their relationship. In the few days she had spent with Ron, she felt more towards him than she ever had with Knott. She was able to say things to him, things that Knott would find foolish or immature. Ravenclaw or not she still found fart jokes to be highly amusing. Then something else struck her; maybe that was what Harry was feeling too. He and Ginny both had a past connected to You-Know-Who, a connection that Evelyn didn't have and couldn't understand. And in the few times she had spoken to Draco, she could tell that his feelings for Evelyn were genuine. Draco would be good for her; he hated his father's parties almost as much as she hated parties in general. And when he wasn't being the traditional stuck up snob that he normally was he was actually very patient, a quality Harry never possessed. Maybe there was thought put in to this law. Now all she had to do was tell Evie.
"Did you see Evelyn?" Virginia Thompson, one of her roommates, asked
What?
"Yes, poor thing. She looked awfully pale." Replied another one of her roommates, Georgia Grey.
Eddie sat up and pulled the curtains away from her bed.
"What did you say?"
"I saw Evelyn running from the courtyard today," Virginia supplied.
"She's back?"
"I guess so."
"Do you know what she was running from?" Eddie was almost afraid to hear the answer. Please don't let it be Harry, please, please, please.
"Harry I think." Shit!
"Do you think she know that he got married?" Georgia butted in.
"Of course she knows! She has no other reason to run from him than that! I have to go."
Eddie quickly pulled on her shoes and a robe and fled the Ravenclaw tower. Where would she go? If I was Evie, and was running away where would I go? The Astronomy tower!
"Evie?"
"What do you want?"
"Just to talk."
"About Harry's wedding?"
Eddie cringed and sat on the floor next to her. "Unfortunately."
"So go ahead tell me all about it!" Evie yelled at her, revealing her tearstained face.
So Eddie did.
Flashback
Eddie ran from the happy kissing couple and the minute she saw Ron in the hallway she immediately run up to him and tackled him.
"Bloody hell what's all this about?" He said with a laugh as he returned the bear hug.
"I'll do it."
"What?"
Eddie rolled her eyes at his obliviousness. "Be a part of the wedding!"
"Really? Are you sure?"
"Yes, I saw Ted-Knott- anyway long story short I realized some things and it would be stupid to try to linger in what was."
"That's very mature of you, Ravenclaw."
"I know. And maybe one day you might be lucky enough to be the same."
"That's all well and good but what does having seen Theodor kiss some one else make you become a part of something so painful?"
"I realized something. When he was kissing Carlina I was hurt at first but I realized we were never like that. Never that passionate, never that connected. When we kissed my toes didn't curl, and I just realized that we're not soul mates. I have been able to share things with Ron that I never could with someone else, you included. I have known Draco a lot longer than you have and trust me you're better suited for each other. So while it may hurt to see Harry move on so quickly, don't forget that you're moving on rather quickly as well."
"Whatever!" Evie replied with a shrug, not wanting to admit or acknowledge the depth of her feeling for Draco at the moment.
"So can I continue, or are you going to barite me some more?"
Evie pulled a face and motioned for her to continue.
