A/N: Okay so, failed to mention, Eve is one year older than Selene, but she came with the Durmstrang delegation because there weren't enough volunteers to participate. She won't participate, but that way they look more intimidating, because they are a big number of people.Here's another chapter. Enjoy:))
Chapter 68:Meeting the twins
I soon realized that I didn't think this through. As soon as I told Hermione that I dont think I'll be going to the ball she told Ginny, who told Harry and Ron and they told the twins. I actually never intended the twins to find out about this because I haven't really told them much about Theo; ok...I haven't told them at all about him. Or about Eve. Now that I was thinking, maybe I should make acquaintance to them and Evelyn, cause she wasn't really a patient person and she may just go and tell them everything. She may be older, but she has never been more mature than me. But that was one of the things I liked about her. Well, kinda. She wasn't shy like Theo used to be, you didn't have to dig out answers and opinions from her. She would tell them to you, sometimes even if you didn't ask. She was loud and almost too confident, but she was the fiercest and most loyal friend you could wish for.
I felt bad keeping so much from the twins. They were, after all, the first friends I made after Theo and Evelyn left and they helped me a lot. And I felt really bad everytime I was kept something from them, but usually they were small things, like something one of them told me and I didn't tell the other, or where I hid their prank supplies. But this, this was huge. I mean, I kept twoPEOPLE secret, two important parts of my childhood. They didn't even know their names. I didn't know what to do. What if they got mad if I told them. What if they'll think I'll replace them? I couldn't lose them. But I knew it was better to tell the truth. I learned that after Eve decided to tell some lies a long time ago.
I went to the Durmstrang ship that night, it was dark outside but it didn't really matter. The only thing that currently bothered me was the long distance to the ship, because I was so sore again and it flelt like stepping on hot coals (but if any teacher asks, I don't know how it feels). There was someone outside the boat, a boy I think.
"Hello"
"Hello miss, vat can I help you vith?"
"Ummm, is Evelyn inside? I'd like to talk to her."
The boy gave me a weird look, but called her anyway.
"Kay Sellie, what you wanna talk about?"
"I have to present you to two of my friends. Best friends."
"Wasn't I that?" she looked really offended this time.
"Calm down dear. I said two of them. I got a few, haven't I?"
"I guess."
"Fantastic! Let's go now."
"But it's late. Wouldn't they be sleeping?"
"First, this is an early hour for them. Secondly, they're in my tower. If they're asleep there, they'll wake up to a surprise."
"They're in YOUR TOWER? So close friends?"
"Well, family stuff, and they were such good friends and sort of big brothers. They helped me a lot with the nightmares and everything. We've been friends for the last 5 years."
"Hmmm, ok then. Let's go then. Maybe I'll find myself a boyfriend." she smirked.
"Don't you dare."
When we arrived to the tower, it turned out I was right. They were more awake than ever. And apparently in the lab zone.
"Please don't tell me you're working on the skiving snackboxes at this hour. Boys, you're tired, you're gonna burn yourselves. Remember last time?"
"Oh, come on! Madame..."
"...Pomfrey said his tongue was fine. We..."
"...mean, it grew back fast."
"I don't care. Put those aside. I have someone for you to meet. She is one of my best friends since I was little. I know I didn't tell you about her and I'm sorry, but it was just never brought up. I'll tell you our story maybe later, but now let's make the presentations." The twins reluctantly put down the potion they were working on to solve the acid effect on the tongue.
"Ok...Eve, this are Fred and George Weasley, boys, this is Evelyn Amthar, but you can call her Eve, if she's ok with that."
Upon hearing the names, all three of them snapped out of their bored state, jumping as if being electrocuted.
"What did you..."
"...just say?"
"Oh my God, you two." Eve smiled her little evil garden gnome smile, but the boys had looks of mixed terror anger and annoyance on their faces.
"What? You three know each other? But she left the country when she was ten."
"Ten and a half."
"Never mind that, what happened? How do you know each other?
"Can I tell the story? Pleaaaasse." she made the puppy dog eyes at the twins, but their expressions didn't change a bit.
"Ok, so I'll tell it. We first met when I was four and they were five. Auntie had to go to their house to talk to their parents about Charlie and his love for Quidditch. She was taking care of me then so she had to take me too. Apparently she thought I got on well with the boys and every so often she'd let me there and Charlie of Bill would babysit me while their parents were gone. But I didn't really get on well with the twins."
"Not well? You..."
"...set us on fire!"
"Did not! Well, it wasn't my fault."
"Okkk, what happened? With the fire and everything." I was laughing by now, and they were on their feet.
"This one set our.."
"...T-shirts on fire when we were six. And she just..."
"...stood there an laughed with Charlie about it."
"No, they came to me and Charlie while he was playing with a fire spell and I just blew into the flame and they were staying right in front of it. It wasn't my fault."
"Ok guys, stop it."
"We won't, she has..."
"...made a lot of things to us while staying at the Burrow. And..."
"...never even batted an eye while we were struggling to get..."
"...rid of her little pranks."
"You two are talking about pranks?"
The discussion went like that for the next half an hour, until Eve decided she was tired and just got up and left while the boys kept shouting after her. Apparently they were really mad about what she did to them as a kid, and she just laughed it off. But really now, it was a silly conflict. How hard could it be to solve?
