The news of the new couple spread threw Hogwarts like wild fire. Everybody's question was: What about Draco?
When asked this question, Eve didn't know the answer. In truth, she liked both of them. It depended entirely on who asked her out first. She would have accepted Draco too, if he had been the first to ask.
* * *
As much as Snape refused to admit it, Eve had a real talent for potion making. For one thing, she didn't measure like everyone else: she went with her gut feeling, if she thought she had added enough of one ingredient, she would stop pouring. She would also add a little "chef's touch" to all of her potions, making them better in the end. Her results, needless to say, were the best of the class.
Snape even invited her to check out a book from the restricted section of the library and try to perform a complicated and dangerous potion for mind reading. Needless to say, the potion was a success, but after only 4 hours of the new power, she concocted an antidote ("I got sick of hearing everyone complaining so much!"). Snape now used her assistance for other classes, hospital use, and other projects.
* * *
One day in Potions, Snape chose partners for truth potions, and after stating loudly that Chessy needed to help him with something in his office, and put Eve and Draco together.
"So," said Draco
"So." replied Eve
"Is Potter good to you?"
"Yeah"
"Good.you know, if he ever does anything to hurt you, I'll protect you."
"I know." She answered, looking into his eyes. She hated when he did this to her! Making her wish they were dating, instead of her and Harry! But she was sure, if the situation were reversed; she would want to be with Harry.
Eve had no idea what to do, so she called an all girl meeting with the North Carolinians.
"What's up hun? Asked Heather, in a strangely sympathetic way. She usually didn't seem to care about someone else's problems.
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Debby asked, tossing her black curly hair over her shoulder.
"Well, as y'all have probly figured out, I've got problems." Eve answered, "I'm going with Harry, and I really like him! --"
"But" added Chessy, with a knowing glint in her eye.
"But." she continued, "I like Draco too. I'm with Harry (Heather grimaced, she was crazy about Harry, and couldn't stand the fact of Eve getting him) and I wanna be with Draco, but I'm sure that if I were with Draco, I would want to be with Harry. I like them both and I don't think it's fair to any of us. I just don't know what to do."
"That is a tough one." Said Heather
"Maybe we should ask the guys." Suggested Chessy
"K" said Eve and 10 min. later the guys were there and the situation had been explained to them.
"You should tell them" Jeff told her immediately.
"It's only fair." Chase added
"You'll feel better, Harry and Draco would want to know what's going on." Said Steven
So it was decided, she would have to tell them.together.
* * *
The next morning, Harry and Draco got owls saying:
Dear Harry (or Draco), Meet me in the 4th dungeon tonight at 11:00. Don't me mad when Draco (or Harry) is there too. I have something to tell you both. Don't ask me or anybody else from America about it, please. Love, Eve
Harry tried to look at Eve and Steven, but neither of them met his eyes. Under the table, Steven was holding Eve's shaking hand.
After their classes, Eve kept to her room with Steven for moral support.
"I just don't know what to say when I get there!" she cried
"Tell 'em the truth." Said Steven with out looking up from the Teen Witch magazine he was reading.
"What if that's not good enough!" Eve demanded, pacing another lap around the room.
"It will be, what are you so afraid of anyway?"
With that, Eve strode the length of her room to where Steven was sitting, ripped the magazine out of his hand and looked him directly in the eye. "I'm afraid I'll come back tonight with out either of them, as my boyfriend or even my friend. That's what I'm afraid of." Replied Eve, continuing her pacing back and forth in front of her bed.
That night, Eve left at 10:50. When she got there, instead of going to Dungeon #4, she went to #5 and, again, began pacing around the room. When she heard both guys in the other room, she took a deep breath and walked into the adjacent dungeon.
"Hey guys, have a seat" she said, trying-and failing miserably- to look cheerful. Harry noticed that her eyes had a strange reddish look about them, but said nothing about it.
"Hey" they answered as they sat down in the front row of desks.
"K, here's the deal."she began, but paused, "I can't do this, (turning around, she got out a piece of parchment with her speech written on it) can y'all here me o.k.?"
"Yeah" they answered, exchanging bewildered glances
"K, here goes. Harry, I really like you and I love being your girlfriend. But in a way, I'm cheating on you.with Draco." She heard shuffling and wheeled around to see Harry pulling out his wand, heading in Draco's direction and Draco looking confused. "It's not what you think! Expelliarmus!" Eve yelled and she caught his wand as it zoomed toward her. "I like you both and I don't think it's fair for any of us if y'all didn't know that. Harry, knowing this, I'll understand if you want to break up, but it's entirely up to you." When she finished, she slumped to the floor with her head in her hands.
Harry and Draco walked over and sat down with her.
"Eve, I don't know what to do either, except-if it's alright with Draco- you could go with both of us, at the same time? [A/N: I know, I know, this would never happen, but I'm the crazed author here and I say it does!]" suggested Harry
"I don't want to use y'all like that! It wouldn't be fair to either of you!" she exclaimed
"Basically, we both want you and you want both of us. To get what we all want, that's how it's going to have to be." Draco declared
"Well, if y'all are sure." She replied, looking up at them with a tear- streaked face. Harry and Draco stood up and shook hands, then pulled her to her feet and hugged her.
* * *
Things went strangely fine until the last day of term for Christmas holidays. They knew it was too good to be true. Something had to happen.
And happen, it did.
They had just finished their last class (Care of Magical Creatures), when Ron and Goyle got into a fight. Eve was trying to hold Ron off, while Crabbe was handling Goyle. Before they could stop them, they issued their curses-and like Harry and Draco's the year before- they hit and went in separate directions. Crabbe got the one meant for Goyle, while Eve got Ron's. She had turned her head so the spell hit her hair, and before she knew it, her hair had turned bright pink and began growing uncontrollably.
Realizing what had happened, she flung herself at Goyle, pushing him to the grass and her sitting on his stomach, she began hitting him.
"I hate you! I hate you! How could you?!?" she kept yelling, sobbing, and punching him all the time, until she broke down crying.
By the time Steven had pulled her off him, her hair was 20 ft long and still growing. Hermione walked her to the hospital wing and Madam Pomfry took it from there.
When she walked back into the common room, she had long, shiny, burnt-honey colored hair that fell down her back in soft curls and waves. But she had it put up so nobody could get the full effect of it until the Yule Ball [A/N: I know, it's been WAY overdone! But I had too!!!], Christmas night.
