In Which I Try to Skip Ahead Without Notice
The weeks passed, Ev's dreams came back but less frequently. She spent most of her time with her friends.
Christmas passes too. The friends exchanged gifts of course. (no way I am coming up with what they all got).
Ev woke up early one Thursday, hours before class was to start, ashamed with herself. She had put off working out for a while now. She poked her head out of the window in her dormitory and saw that it was a clear and cool day. Opting for a run, she put on sweatpants, running shoes, a gray tank top, and a very warm sweatshirt.
She left her friends sleeping and ran outside, watching her breath flow away in clouds as she gasped. After running around the whole of Hogwarts four times with a couple brakes of sitting down and chugging from the water bottle she had taken with her, Ev realized she had no idea how late it was.
Jumping up from where she sat by the lake, Ev sprinted all the way to the entrance hall. She was running past the Great Hall, only just realizing that her butt was wet from the snow, when she heard voices and laughter coming from there. She skidded to a halt realizing that breakfast had started already.
Taking deep breaths she calmly walked into the hall and walked over to a seat next to Sirius. She gave a casual "Hey" before grabbing a plate of pancakes and putting two on her plate. She buttered them and put syrup on top.
"And where have you been?" Ara asked her around a bite of a banana.
"Running." Ev calmly replied. She reached over Sirius to grab a blueberry muffin, since Sirius was busy eating scrambled eggs. "I didn't realize I was so late."
"Have you not showered or anything?" Lily asked, flabbergasted when Ev shook her head no. "Well, class starts right after breakfast, maybe you should go and get ready."
"I will."
Everyone ate quickly due to the fact that there was ten minutes left until class.
As the whole hall stood up to head to their respective classes, Ev stood up and ducked under the table. Her friends all leaned down to see what in the world she was doing, only to see that she had disappeared.
Sirius grinned. "Convenient, yeah. I'd like that."
He and the others all headed to class.
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*
Sirius, Remus, Lily, Ara, Peter, Rae, and James were all sitting in Potions, glancing at the door, hoping that Ev would burst through any second. Class was just about to start.
The bell rang to signify the beginning of class and they all inwardly groaned. Ev was probably going to get detention.
The teacher, Professor Pitstain as everyone called him (it was really Pitaine), had his back to the room as he wrote the days assignment on the board. They were to be brewing a Doxycide and bottling them. There had been a recent break in of Doxies and they caused such a ruckus that even Peeves was annoyed.
Anyway, as the teacher wrote, Ev silently opened the door to the dungeon room, newly clothed in a pair of blue jeans, a green t-shirt with a dragon on it, and her leather jacket, praying it didn't creak. When it didn't she silently shut it and moved soundlessly across the floor to sit in her seat by Remus and Rae. Pitstain didn't even notice.
The Slytherins, the class was having double potions with them today, all glared at her, but didn't say anything due to the pounding they would receive later.
Evan Rosier had been sent to the hospital wing just the other day after he had accidentally on purpose rammed Ev in the hallway and caused her to drop all of her books, after which he called her a slut. He had been almost late to his class, and running, and since Ev and her friends were the only others in the hall, they had all told McGonagall that he had fallen after he ran to her. Having no proof that they were lying, McGonagall had given no punishment. McGonagall was watching Ev like a hawk though. Ev was under the impression that the professor wasn't very fond of her. She just shrugged it off.
Remus and Ev were partnered up to make the potion. Sirius and James were together. Lily and Ara worked together, and Peter and Rae were together, much to Rae's chagrin (asshole! Whoo, I'm okay).
"So . . ." Remus said to Ev as they waited for the cauldron to boil. Ev looked up from sanding the snake fangs she was grinding into a fine powder.
"Yeah?"
Remus looked at her, bemusement evident in his face. "Uh, what's going on with you and Sirius?" he said carefully, vigilantly not looking into her eyes.
Ev snapped her head to look at him, missing crushing her finger by a hair. "What do you mean?" She audibly gulped.
Remus grinned at her obvious discomfort of this situation. "Well, you two seem mighty close. I mean, at first you did despise each other, did you not? And now, we found you sleeping in the same bed, you without a major piece of clothing on, and well him too. Plus, you did tell him your secret and, I don't know, but you two seem really close all of a sudden; joking around, your friendly banter thing, hugging him. There seems to be something going on." He checked the cauldron to see that it was not yet boiling. He looked at Ev to see her reaction. She was just standing there, staring at him, mouth open slightly. "And, um, he told us about the kiss and how he said it was just him comforting you. Which I suppose is true but do you agree with him? Was it nothing?" he added, avoiding her gaze more than ever.
Ev gasped, shocked that Sirius had told about that kiss, something she still wondered about. She hadn't even mentioned anything to the girls. Ev just wasn't one to gossip about such things, especially when they involved her and especially when it made her want to pound on Sirius for a bit for being so stupid. She forced herself to keep her face calm and smooth, emotionless.
Swallowing hard, she opened her mouth to say, "We're just friends, and that was all the kiss was."
Remus chuckled amiably, "You are such a liar!" he gasped at her, his eyes crinkling in amusement at the blush that fell around Ev's face. "You have a crush on him." Remus said this as if he had just figured it out.
"Noooo, no I don't." Ev felt her face turn warm with embarrassment. This made her angry. She was always the cool and prepared one for just about everything. She was supposed to make other people self-conscious, not the other way around. She sighed and saw Remus continue to laugh.
Pitstain swooped on them. "What are you two doing?" he snapped at them. "Chit chatting?"
"No sir," Remus answered, since Ev would rather punch him than call him 'sir', "we're just waiting for the cauldron to boil."
"Well you can do it quietly, can't you?" the professor cracked, stalking away.
Ev and Remus just rolled their eyes and continued to talk, though quieter this time.
"Ev, you really do have a crush on him don't you?" Ev looked off to the side.
"Maybe," she said slowly. Remus looked at her.
"Maybe?"
"Maybe."
"You mean definitely?"
"Maybe?"
"Definitely?" Remus tried to get her admit to it.
Ev eyes roamed across the room to Sirius. Sirius was holding the paper with the amounts of the ingredients to put into the brew. He read something, grabbed the asphodel leaves and started to count out. Suddenly he just grabbed a handful and threw them in. A pink steam rose off the potion, covering James' face in powder. Ev watched as Sirius and James laughed, Sirius leaning his head back.
"Definitely," she whispered.
Remus looked where she was looking. He turned back to the potion and threw in the fangs. "I knew it," he said indifferently.
Ev turned back and hit him on the shoulder. He winced, rubbing it.
"Don't even think of telling anyone, least of all Potter or Pettigrew. They can't keep their fat mouths shut." She turned to the cauldron and watched as a blue powdery substance rose to the top, just as it was supposed to.
She grabbed a bottle and scooped some of the powder in. You could save the powder and add water later to use as a Doxycide, along with the potion in the bottom.
"So, are you going to tell him?" Remus asked sensibly.
"Hell no. And make him feel uncomfortable for not liking me back? Shit, I'd never do that." She put the stopper in the bottle and grabbed another.
"So, what? You're just going to hide your feelings?" Remus muttered to her indignantly.
"Yeah!" Ev snapped, "I will. Cause he's my first real friend and the first crush I've ever had. Ever! After everything that's happened to me, I didn't think that'd ever happen, dammit! I'm not gonna do anything, that way I don't risk getting hurt." She groaned heavily.
"What?" Remus asked, clearly baffled.
"Ugh!" Ev breathed. She turned to him and spoke slowly and clearly so his small brain would understand. "Remus, I never, and I mean never, thought that a time would come when I would even be able to think about dating or having a crush, let alone kissing someone. After . . . everything, I've realized that such things are a big deal. I don't want to ruin one of the first friendships I've had with a guy by starting to like him and making the mistake of telling him. If I did, do you know how awkward that'd be? There ain't no way on God's freaking green earth that I will tell him." Ev turned to the cauldron, "Besides, it's just a crush. I'll get over, I'm sure."
Remus sighed and nodded, agreeing not to tell anyone of her feelings about Sirius.
Meanwhile, Ev was busy thinking about how maybe she wouldn't get over it, ever. Sirius just made her feel so safe and secure. And not only that, but being with him was fun and he treated her like anyone else would. Her roommate had taken a while to get over it and treat her like normal. Ev just had so much fun with him, laughing and making fun of each other. He was just so great. Unfortunately for her, he didn't feel that way back. Damn him!
///////////////// Reminder: Review.
I'm on a writing roll; next one will be up soon. Thanks. And I will not post until I get ten more reviews. I don't care if the same person reviews ten times, just please give me ten.
