A Nice Run In the Evening
By the way, so no one is confused. Ev had her baby when she was fourteen.
Her baby's birthday is in March. Ev is sixteen now. Her baby will be 3 on
her next birthday. You'll learn the baby's name in later chapters. I have
to find the perfect name for her. So, ON WITH THE CHAPTER! :)) Double chin
boy!! Anyway.
Ev woke up early on Saturday to get in a workout. She put on her gray workout tank top and black sweatpants.
She put on her headphones (know you can't have stuff like that but work with me here!) and walked out the door of the entrance hall.
She started running, quietly humming to herself 'Pickup Man' by Alan Jackson, as the sun was just barely rising, leaving the sky a white-blue. There was a fog around the castle and dew still clung heavily to the grass, making Ev slip a couple of times and leaving the front of her pants slightly wet.
"I met all my wives in traffic jams . . ." she sang softly to herself but eventually stopped when she had to concentrate on breathing.
After running around the whole castle three times, and with a fine sheen of sweat on her face and back, Ev stopped by the lake.
The water looked appealing to her so she turned around and headed to the Forbidden Forest. Walking along the path she knew, she leisurely made her way to the small clear lake.
She jumped in, clothes still on. "Ahhhh," she said when she resurfaced. (she seems to get half naked a lot so I kept her clothes on). She cracked her neck and then slowly slid under the water. The cool, almost freezing water (hello, it's November), felt good on her body. Looking down at herself, she saw that she was pink from the cold.
She made her way out of the water and started to walk on the path when she realized something. Hitting herself on the forehead, she grinned. She closed her eyes and concentrated and when she opened them she was in her dormitory, in the bathroom to be exact. She took a warm shower to rid herself of the cold then walked out into her now empty dormitory. The other girls had left for breakfast a little while a go, she supposed.
She opened her trunk and pulled out a pair of faded blue jeans, underclothing, and a green tank top that showed the outline of two dragons breathing fire at each other. She dressed and grabbed her leather jacket as she walked out the door.
She made her way down to the hall, whispering to herself the words to 'At the Foot of the Cross,' by Ray Boltz. (Listen to that song. It's great."
Ev strolled into the Great Hall and made her way to her table.
The others were already eating.
As she sat down Rae, Lily, and Ara all looked at her accusingly.
"It's about time you got up." Ara said irreverently.
"Yeah, when we left you were still sleeping." Lily added slowly.
"Well, you obviously didn't look. I got up 3 hours before any of you lazy asses hauled out of bed."
"Where were you?" inquired Sirius in a apprehensive tone.
Ev looked at him weirdly, as if he should know. When she realized he didn't, she said, "Working out." Sirius looked relieved. "Oh, in the weight room." "No, I went for a run. And sustained a nasty bruise on my knee when I slipped," she added sourly.
"Ready to go?" "What? Where?" "Hogsmeade!" Sirius exclaimed to Ev in a shocked voice. "Where?" Ev questioned. Sirius took a deep breath as if to calm him. "The all wizard town of Hogsmeade," he said slowly. "Oh, ok." Ev replied as if she knew what he was talking about.
Holy hell, Ev thought for the tenth time that day, staring around her. They were at the Honeydukes. Talk about a sweet tooth. It was a wonder these wizards were able to walk through a door.
The walls were lined with shelves stocked full of sweets, every kind of candy you could think of; from the disgusting, Cockroach Clusters, to the hidden ones, Sugar Quills.
"Holy hell," Ev said again, this time out loud.
Remus, James, Lily, and Rae grinned at the mingled expression of awe and shock on her face.
"Pretty cool, huh?" Sirius asked, sucking on the end of a quill from his bag. A disgusted look formed on his face and he spat into a garbage can, black inky spit coming out. He choked slightly then reached into his bag and brought out another quill. Sticking his tongue lightly against it as a test, his face lit up and he stuck the whole tip in.
He only realized people were watching when he heard the loud laughs of Lily, Ara, Ev, and Rae, all giggling. The guys were doing a pretty good job of not laughing too much, although a snort did suddenly leave Remus' mouth for no apparent reason, since his face was perfectly calm.
"Hey look!" Peter suddenly exclaimed, walking toward a large display of the new blood flavored lollipops. He immediately bought a large pack of twenty, giving one to the guys- the girls refused to taste them- and opening two and stuffing them in his mouth (fat ass! Okay I'm all right).
The group of friends then strolled the rest of the town, delighting in the gasps that the sights elicited.
It was as they were walking that it started to snow. After it got too cold, the large group trouped into The Three Broomsticks, where they all ordered a butterbeer.
"What's a butterbeer exactly?" Ev asked, after the drinks were delivered, hating the fact that she sounded almost as stupid as the people she waited on who didn't know what a hot dog was (cough! Sirius cough!).
James also thought so too. "'What's a butterbeer?" he said loudly, "What's a butterbeer!" His voice turned high pitched and squeaky.
"How could you not know what a butterbeer is?! It's THE drink. . ." he rambled.
"Okay, Potter, only dogs can hear you now." Ev interrupted his rant.
James stopped and grinned. "Just try it," he said calmly, sliding her's to her.
"Alrighty." She placed it to her lips, aware all the while of everyone's eyes on her, like they were waiting to see her verdict on a murder case.
She gulped and set the drink down. "It's good I guess. Just not the same as real beer."
Everyone looked at her, wondering what that meant.
"Just kidding, I've never had beer." Ev grinned and took another gulp of her drink. They weren't sure she was telling the truth.
Lily, sitting next to James and Rae, snorted, some of her drink coming out of her mouth. Everyone else guffawed at this and the laughter turned into an uproar.
Ara, across from Lily, had just said something very shocking, especially since they were in the presence of boys.
"What did you say?" Lily asked loudly, and in a rather shocked voice.
"I said that I think my breasts are too big." Ara replied, annoyed.
The guys merely lifted up their eyebrows and looked at her chest.
"Stop it!" she yelled.
"We're just trying to determine if you were telling the truth." Remus, next to Ara and across from James, said innocently.
"Right," Ara snorted under her breath.
Peter, next to Sirius, who was across from Rae, interrupted, "I don't think there's really such a thing as too large breasts, if you want my opinion."
"We don't," Ev said, beside Rae.
Everyone chuckled and Peter look affronted. Ev grinned at him in apology and he kicked her from his place across her.
The other guys were still contemplating Ara's boobies. Even Rae and Lily were now gazing at them in reflection.
Sirius snapped them out of this reverie when he said vaguely, "Peter's right." He looked at the other 3 girls who were now looking at him. "Though, I think I'll have to feel them all to compare." He leaned over the table, reaching out his hand as if he was going to cup Ev's breast.
Ev quickly grabbed his hand and twisted. "Ow, ow, ow!" He howled.
"That's right," Ev snapped, throwing his hand back.
Sirius looked at her appreciatively. "Rough one, aren't yah?" he said suggestively.
Ev stared at him, shocked that he'd made any reference to that. Sirius must have noticed the look of pain in his eyes, for he immediately looked sorry.
Ev, who was squashed into the large booth and seated next to the window, rubbed her shoulder uncomfortably and looked out the window.
Meanwhile, the conversation between everyone else had turned to something else. The guys were now talking about how they hated their butts and the fact that they weren't hard enough.
"It's just so flabby. I mean, it doesn't get the girls like it used to, you know." James said, showing his butt to everyone by standing up and pointing it toward them.
No one escaped the look that Lily gave his ass- one of provocation and admiration.
Rae giggled and elbowed her, whispering, "Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, eyebrow, eyebrow." She demonstrated all these things to her. Lily promptly turned an impressive shade of red.
James shook his butt at everyone. "See."
Ev joined the attention-grabbing conversation, albeit a weird one, by saying, "That's cause you don't ever work out."
"I do too, I play Quidditch."
"That's not a sport," Ev said brusquely.
James, obviously insulted, turned red and the others had to pull him back as he moved to lunge at an unsuspecting Ev- supposedly. As his hand grabbed her shoulder, she whipped to face him, grabbing his arm vigorously and pushing him back with all her might. The others let go of him because he suddenly went flying about five feet and landed with a painfully loud noise on the hard floor.
James emitted a very low groan and everyone but Ev and Sirius ran to him to see if he was all right.
Pretty soon a group had formed around all of them to see what had happened.
Everyone looked very worried and Ev knew they blamed her. Her suspicions were confirmed when Lily glared at her and cried, "Why the hell did you do that? What were you thinking?"
Sirius looked at Ev and saw her open her mouth helplessly then close it. Her eyes darted about the room as if she was looking for an escape route.
She felt everyone's eyes on her, knew that they knew she had done it. Standing on the booth seat, Ev awkwardly climber over it, right to where the door was.
She saw James look up at her, still trying to catch his breath and gain feeling in his back, where he had landed, but the next thing she knew she was running through the town, toward the school far away in the misty distance.
Her feet crunched over the snow that had fallen the night before and was still falling. If she hadn't been so haunted by all that she was leaving behind her, she might have realized that the scene surrounding her was the definition of beautiful.
The sky was silver gray and the snow was the kind that seemed to go in slow motion. The flakes, they were huge and snow fell onto her head as she continued to sprint toward the castle that was miles away.
The ground glittered in the way fresh snow does.
Several minutes later Ev was sprinting through the Forbidden Forest, sharply jumping and turning so as not to hit trees. She knew no one was following her.
As she reached the outskirts of the forest where it began to thin, the trees had filled with snow and there was about a foot of snow.
When Ev opened up the doors to the Entrance Hall, icy hot tears stung her eyes but they did not fall.
And as she finally reached her common room and finally her dorm, Ev was basically convinced that all of her friends thought of her as a monster.
She sat there for a moment but then reached a decision and grabbed another cloak, since she had left her other one at The Three Broomsticks. She knew where she was going.
////lots of reviews please//// I'm on a writing spree to catch up, so the next one will be up soon.
