Disclaimer: I own Harry Potter. That's right! I own Harry Potter Oh wait! I'm not JK Rowling, am I? Darn. I thought for a second I was. I should really remember my name. It's very depressing to think I own Ron and Fred and then remember I don't. Oh well, I can mess around with them for now. Evelyn is mine, though.
Author's Note: OH MY GOD! I bought CoS on DVD on Friday. I watched it twice on Friday, once on Saturday (I had to work), and once today (I had play practice). I love it. It's amazing! Did anyone notice how when Harry and Hermione meet in Diagon Alley it kind of seems like she really likes him? I think that's just to set us of the track of Ron and Hermione as a couple. It's obvious with that thing at the end when she runs in the Great Hall and gives Harry a brotherly hug and then is all awkward with Ron. It's because they like each other. Obviously. Anyhow, it's a great movie. I can't get enough of it. Sorry this chapter's a little short. I didn't want to get into the first day and I actually don't even have that written. So it maybe a while before I update. My muse (for this story) has left me. If anyone sees her tell her I love her and I need her back. Don't worry my other muses I still have, so my other stories might get updated sooner. If I get around to typing them up. I really sorry I'm just really lazy. I'll try harder I promise. For those who read "Seamus' Dream" I don't think I'm going to continue it. It was meant to be a one chapter thing. But I do have another Seamus story in the works. If you like Seamus tell me and I might get it out faster. BTW the San Grasal means the Holy Grail. Nobody gets points for knowing it, but you can all have points just for beign your great selves. And for reviewing of course. Thanks a lot for all the great reviews. I really love them. Here, you can all have Harry Potter stickers. One of Harry, one of Dobby, one of Hermione and one of Ron. Put them somewhere special! Enough of my talking, enjoy this next chapter.
Chapter Six- What Did You Do To Him?
Five staircases, a trick door and a secret password (Summer hols) later the foursome were sitting comfortably on the couch and chairs in front of the common room fire.
"So" Harry ventured, "What's the reason?"
"That I hate Voldemort so much?" Evelyn asked.
"Uh" Harry said.
"Well, I hate him so much because he's so evil. He's just the most awful creature in the whole history of the universe," she said. "I mean look what he did to your parents."
"Well, yeah," cut in Hermione, "We all hate him for that but I call him You-Know-Who and even Harry uses Lord if he's in front of lots of people."
"C'mon, Evelyn! He's powerful; he's got supports all over the place. Why leave off Lord?" Ron exclaimed.
"Sure he's powerful Ron, and he has many supporters. There are even some Death Eaters in Canada. But a person who had other people commit cold-blooded murder has no right to be called a Lord. If you had witnessed your grandparents get killed right in front of you when you were nine, in the name of this person, you wouldn't call him Lord either," Evelyn said practically in one breath.
Harry, Ron and Hermione sat with guilty looks on their faces. Harry was sorry he'd brought it up, as Evelyn looked as if she was about to burst into bitter, bitter tears.
Just then, Fred walked up to the group. "Hey, guys" he started to say. Then he noticed the upset look on Evelyn's face and the guilty ones on the other three.
"What's wrong, Evelyn? What did you guys do?" he turned to his brother with a look of anger on his face.
"We didn't do anything. Honestly!" Ron cried. Fred continued glaring disbelievingly at Ron.
"It's alright. It wasn't their fault, Fred. I just dredged up some painful memories, that's all," Evelyn cut in. Fred looked from her to Ron and back again.
Finally, he said, "Okay Well, George, Lee and I are going to play Exploding Snap. Do you guys want to play?"
Harry looked around at the others and said, "I don't think so, Fred. Maybe another time."
Fred shrugged his shoulders, took one last look at Evelyn and went back to join his twin and their best friend.
Ron looked slack-jawed at Evelyn.
"What did you do to my brother?" he asked with awe.
"What? I didn't do anything to him."
"You must have." Ron explained. "I can count the number of times he's asked me to do anything fun with him and George on my right hand. None of those times were ever at school and none of them could have been done with two people. They only ask me to play Quidditch when they need another player. You cast some spell on him."
"It's not a spell, Ron. He fancies her," Hermione said.
"But we just met.." Evelyn paused. "You don't really think he likes me, do you?"
Hermione rolled her eyes.
"I think the objective word here would be d'uh," Harry stated.
Evelyn raised her eyebrows at him. "Why would he like me, though?"
"Have you looked in a mirror lately?!" Hermione cried. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.
Harry shook his head at Evelyn. "Have you even talked to yourself lately?" he added.
"You're a great conversationalist," Ron agreed.
Hermione looked shocked. "Why Ron! I didn't even know you knew such along word!" she declared with mock awe.
Ron made a similar shocked face. "Someone get me a quill. This is one for the history books. Hermione Granger just admitted there was something she didn't know."
Hermione's smile changed to a frown. "I never claimed I knew everything, Ronald Weasley," she spat.
"Well, you sure act like you do," he retorted.
"Hey guys. Don't fight," Evelyn said. "I thought we were talking about me," she joked.
Hermione glared at Ron and said, "Fred does like you, I think. But I could be wrong." She glared at Ron again, then added haughtily, "I'm going to bed now. Goodnight Harry, Evelyn." She just narrowed her eyes at Ron, got up and went up to her dorm.
"I think I'll crash too," Evelyn said. "It means I'm going to sleep," she explained at the confused looks on their faces. "Goodnight you guys," she finished and followed her new friend upstairs.
