Happy Birthday Real Evelyn! Enjoy :)

The day passed quickly. Evelyn was glad to find that Kimi was calm – or calmer- by the time they sat down for their lunch. After a long day filled with lessons Evelyn retreated up to her dorm room. Kimi was taking her broom onto the Quidditch Pitch which left Evelyn alone to peacefully get changed. She pulled on a knee length white skirt and a yellow blouse. Despite the castle being freezing, Evelyn knew that in a few moments she would be in the warmth of the Room of Requirement.

She quickly paced down the corridors before she arrived at the seventh floor. She entered the room to find Michael already sitting on the sofa and to Evelyn's complete surprise he was holding a guitar. It was acoustic and made from a pretty, red wood. Black marker pen that Muggles used had been used to decorate the guitar and all along the edge were little wolves. It looked amazing. Michael placed it on the ground beside him and moved towards Evelyn. He gently planted a kiss on her cheek before smiling. His entire body showed he was tired except for his eyes which still had a playful glint in them.

"I didn't know you played guitar" Evelyn said pointing to it before taking a closer look "Did you decorate this yourself?"

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me" he said smiling "And techniquely I didn't but I did"

"What do you mean?" she asked confused but not taking her eyes off of the little wolves

"Well, my guitar looks exactly like this but I never brought it to Hogwarts" he said "And I did decorate my own but unless the room can bring things from other places it's just a copy of my one"

Evelyn had just learnt two new things about Michael. Firstly that he could play guitar though she didn't know how well he could actually play. For all she knew he could be totally tone death and would sound worse than a constipated whale but on the other hand he could be amazing. Secondly, she found out that he was good at art or at least it appeared so. And the wolves really did look amazing. But Evelyn was a little upset that she was only just learning these things now.

"Play me something" she said snuggling into the corner of the sofa "Please"

Michael squirmed a little looking a little uncomfortable before finally taking the guitar from Evelyn and strumming a few strings "I'm not amazing but I know a few songs and keep in mind this is an exclusive, I don't do this for just anybody"

Evelyn got herself comfortable in the sofa and watched as Michael positioned himself and got himself ready "Okay, well don't be surprised if you don't know it"

He began to strum randomly before it turned into a song and chords. He was right, Evelyn didn't know it. She assumed it was a muggle song as it didn't sound familiar at all and she hadn't heard it on the Wizarding Wireless at all.

"Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you"

There was a small pause whilst he strummed another chord and took a breath. Evelyn thought he sounded amazing. His voice was like an angels whisper, it was so gentle. Michael was so loud and rough and playful but there was moments like this where he was gentle and calm and kind.

"Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me"

Michael was looking at Evelyn throughout the entire chorus. Evelyn was almost crying the song was so sad and beautiful at the same time. Evelyn was glad that she and Michael would never leave each other; they had something special, a connection too strong to ever be broken. They were like ying and yang; they were made for each other and fitted each other perfectly.

"And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me"

When the song finished, Evelyn found that the tears had been welling up and she had tried to control and fell over her eyelids. She had to wipe them away quickly before Michael saw. He looked up and he must have been able to tell because she pulled her into a hug.

"I wasn't that good" he said holding her to his chest "You big softie"

He was wearing a bright green t-shirt with a white picture of a rabbit. Underneath the rabbit it said "RABBIT'S: Natures Little Speed Bumps". Normally Evelyn would have found it disgusting and a horrible thing to say but for some reason the simple fact that it was him who was wearing it made her laugh at it.

"What was that song?" she asked sniffling

"Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt" he said "My mum loves it and, he isn't that bad though he's not really my type...you're more my type"

She giggled quietly to herself. He was so warm. They lay down next to each other on the sofa and began talking about general things; music, animals, the future. Her arms were wrapped around him and her head rested on his chest whilst he gently played with her hair. One arm was wrapped around her protectively, resting on her shoulder. They never seemed to run out of things to talk about. Evelyn was beginning to feel tired but was determined not to show it. She didn't want to leave, not whilst the night was so young.

"Sing to me again" she whispered, she was fighting to keep her eyes open

"I'll hum" he said "But I've done enough singing tonight"

"Okay" she said snuggling closer, he smelt of freshly mowed grass for some strange reason. Perhaps it was from his Quidditch practice that he had went to earlier. As Michael began to hum Evelyn slowly found her eyelids becoming heavy and as much as she fought against it she fell asleep. She began to dream about lying with Michael on a beach only he was cold and wet. Evelyn realised that her face was wet too. The dream didn't last very long before fading to blackness.

When she woke up Michael was sitting beside the fire stroking the cats. When he looked over he smiled. "So sleeping beauty has finally woke up?" he grinned "I think you should go to bed, you look shattered"

"Look who's talking" Evelyn said as she yawned "How long was you up until last night?"

"I went to bed early last night!" he said smirking "Well, early in the morning anyway"

Evelyn giggled "I'll see you tomorrow Michael, good night"

"See ya" he said kissing her goodbye and leaving the room of requirement.

...

Evelyn was just reaching the top of the stairs that lead to her common room when she saw someone. He was about the same height as Evelyn with blonde hair and his back to Evelyn. As he turned around though, Evelyn's blood ran cold and her hairs stood on end. She took a step back from him.

Jay sneered at her and walked up to her. For a terrifying second Evelyn thought he would hit her again. Instead he came right up to her face so she could feel his hot breath. She wanted to slap him but was too scared after what had happened last time. Then he spoke "I haven't forgotten about you" he whispered, still smiling maliciously "And when the time comes, I will get you back for this"

Then he just walked down the stairs leaving Evelyn scared stiff with her heart beating at a thousand miles per hour. He wasn't going to let Evelyn get away with it...whatever it was.
