(Just a note, I brought back a couple characters because I didn't want to
have to make up new ones. So if you're wondering why Oliver, Cedric, and
Percy are there just don't pay attention to details ok? hehe)
"Where are Fred and George?" Percy questioned Ron from a couple of places down the Gryffindor table.
"Why are you looking at me, Perce? Do you think I've got them up my sleeve?" Ron shot back at him and turned back to Harry as he waited for the food.
Percy gave him a scornful look even though Ron had his back to him.
As usual, the great hall was looking splendid for the start-of-term feast. The ceiling, which mirrored the night sky outside, was bright with stars sparkling in the distance as hundreds of candles floated around lighting the room. The four long House tables were set out in their usual spots as students filed in to take their seats while chattering on about how they spent their summer. The staff table at the top of the hall had but two seats empty, one for Professor McGonagall who was attending to the arriving first years and the other empty seat for the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
"I wonder what's taking the first year's so long," Harry stated as they sat hungrily awaiting their arrival so that the feast could begin.
"Well Hagrid's at the staff table, that means that the Giant Squid didn't get to them," Ron noted and looked around, "Hey! Where are Fred and George anyhow? Where's Evy too?"
"It's not hard to guess where they went off to," Dean Thomas, who was sitting next to Hermione, began, "Probably off planning some big start of the school year prank."
Ron raised an eyebrow, that would be something that they would do. Just as Hermione was about to voice her opinion on the matter, Fred and George scurried into the hall, followed by Evy with a smile on her face. As she walked along to her seat, heads turned and people whispered all over the hall. The three Gryffindors took the three empty seats in front of Harry, Ron and Hermione.
"What were you three up to?" Harry asked.
"Nothing," they said simultaneously.
"Now why would we be up to something?" Fred asked.
"It is really getting ridiculous how we cannot walk into a room without someone accusing us of being up to something," George stated.
"Well 9 out of 10 times you are up to something," Ron pointed out.
The three all grinned and sat back. They turned to the doors just as Professor McGonagall walked in with the first years. They were sorted and with great happiness and everyone's spirits up, Professor Dumbledore got up for his speech before he officially began the feast. He went over his usual notes about the new term and repeated a few key rules for everyone.
" . And now without further ado, Let the feast beg-" Dumbledore was interrupted a shriek from the Hufflepuff table.
Peeves had chucked a deviled egg at Hannah Abbot and it was now stuck in her hair. He was now proceeding with hitting the rest of the eggs with a golf club at random students. There was a lot of commotion as all of the house ghosts tried to calm him down. Students were using their golden plates as shields and found refuge underneath the tables. Others took advantage of this time to start food fights. Hermione, Ron, and Harry found it best to stay underneath the table.
"Is THIS what you were up to?" Hermione looked at Fred who was snickering.
He just grinned as Lee, Evy and George joined them under the table.
"You guys are missing all the fun, It's much better up above," Evy stated.
"Hey wait you've got a bit of egg on your cheek," George said as he whipped if off her face.
"Aww, you're sweet, George," She smiled at him and went back out from underneath the table to have some more fun.
George blushed and tried to hide his face. Hermione gave Ron a nudge with her elbow and raised an eyebrow. He replied with a nod, they both were thinking the same thing.
Finally, they had Peeves subdued and everyone tried to clean themselves off and sit back down. Harry and Ron were looking for Evy to congratulate her for thinking it all up.
"Hey where'd she go?" Ron asked as he looked around.
"There she is," Lee announced.
Oliver was carrying Evy over and back to their table. He set her down gently and grabbed a napkin to wipe some egg off of his robes. Fred and George stood, with their arms crossed, leering at Oliver.
"I found Evy here smushing egg into Pansy Parkinson's hair." Oliver looked at her and smiled.
"Good job, Evy!" Fred patted her on the back.
"I'll talk to you later," Oliver said as he whipped off a bit of egg on her nose and kissed her on the cheek.
"Bye," she tired not to blush and watched as he walked to his seat at the other end of the table.
Fred and George rolled their eyes and sat down. Professor Dumbledore got back up in front of everyone a bit frustrated.
"She really doesn't like her much does she?" Harry whispered to Ron, who shook his head.
"I am sorry for that disruption everyone. Now, I remind you that such behavior is unacceptable here at Hogwarts. Peeves shall be punished for what he did. Let it be a lesson to any of you who have any thought of playing any practical jokes this term," Dumbledore eyed Fred, George and Evy, "Now, on with the feast!"
Magically, food appeared on the tables. There were lots of wonderful dishes and pitchers of Pumpkin juice. Everyone ate and ate as the plates kept refilling with more food. By the time the last piece of cauldron cake was finished it was quite late. The prefects all led their houses out of the great hall and started up to their dormitories. As they did people were gossiping about Evy.
"I hear she spent some of her summer at that veela spa in France. Just look at her and the way she's carrying on." One girl said in disgust.
"Who does she think she is?" Another replied.
"It doesn't matter how much she may pamper her self, she's still ugly." Evy heard one girl whisper to her friend.
Evy paid them no mind and kept on walking. Cedric Diggory, the handsome seeker for the Hufflepuff quidditch team strolled over to her. Some girls believed him to be the most handsome boy in school.
"It's good to see you, Evy, how are you?" he asked as he put on his charm.
"I'm great, Cedric, how about you?" she smiled back at him.
"Couldn't be better. I spent the summer in Spain, wonderful place really. Have you been there? You really should go, you're missing out. I've got some pictures from that trip. If you'd like I could show you sometime," He surely didn't waste anytime.
"That would be nice. I've got to go before they all leave me behind. I'll see you later, Cedric," she smiled sweetly and continued up the stairs following the Gryffindors to their tower. Cedric went back to the Hufflepuffs to continue leading them to their dormitories.
"Where are Fred and George?" Percy questioned Ron from a couple of places down the Gryffindor table.
"Why are you looking at me, Perce? Do you think I've got them up my sleeve?" Ron shot back at him and turned back to Harry as he waited for the food.
