Chapter Five:
The next day Evelyn entering the Great Hall to see Draco Malfoy from Slytherin doing impressions of Harry fainting, Evelyn shook her head as she sat next to Harry who was doing his best to pretend he wasn't listening. Evelyn touched his arm giving him a warm smile.
"Malfoy's a git, everyone knows that." She said as Fred leaned over.
"That's right mate, you should of seen him last night, almost wet himself."
"I wasn't too happy myself, they're horrible things those Dementors." George replied and Evelyn shuddered.
"It's best not to think about them Harry." She said grabbing some toast as he, Ron and Hermione got up.
"Yeah. I'll see you later." Harry replied and they left.
"I wish there was something I could do to make things better." Evelyn said with a sigh.
"Evy your not his mother." Alicia replied entering the conversation as she sat down.
"But I feel like it." Evelyn said.
"Your his cousin, your like a best friend, he's old enough to look after himself." Alicia replied and Evelyn rolled her eyes resting her head on the table and banged it slightly a few times.
"You sound just like Oliver." She muttered.
"Oliver's a smart guy." Fred replied as Evelyn looked up.
"Shut up will you." She said.
"Oliver likes you." George blurted and Fred punched his arm.
"Ouch." George said rubbing his arm as Evelyn frowned.
"Oliver likes Alicia?" As Alicia spat out her juice flying over her breakfast causing a bunch of first years to squeal and move away quickly.
"Never mind, we have potions so we better go." Fred replied dragging George with him.
"They are strange." Evelyn said also getting up.
"Yeah." Alicia agreed with an uneasy chuckle as they walked out of the Great Hall to their first class.
After dinner Evelyn was reading over her homework in the common room when Oliver came downstairs noticing her by herself and the way the fire reflected in her glasses lighting her beautiful green eyes. He shook his head walking over sitting on the table in front of her. Evelyn looked up from her notes.
"Oliver I'm kind of busy at the moment so if you wouldn't mind." She said.
"I do mind actually, I wanted to say I'm sorry for last night." Oliver replied and Evelyn leaned forward so that they were quite close taking off her glasses.
"Don't worry about it Oliver, I forgive you." Evelyn said then ran her tongue along her lips and Oliver felt his heart beat speed up as she leaned in kissing him softly then pulled back. Oliver opened his eyes to see Fred a smirk playing across his face, Oliver sat up.
"What's your problem Weasley?" Oliver asked feeling his face burn.
"Nothing, enjoying your nap?" He asked and Oliver stood up.
"How does a hundred laps around the Quidditch pitch sound?" Oliver asked and Fred raised his hands in defence.
"Hey I was only asking." He replied as Evelyn came down from her bedroom, it had been almost three weeks since they had spoken, both too stubborn to say they were sorry. Oliver couldn't help but notice Evelyn had changed her hair style normally she wore it in a bun but today it was in a side ponytail, she looked even more beautiful than usual. Oliver took a deep breath slowly letting it out as he walked over to her. He cleared his throat making his presents known, Evelyn looked up.
"Yes?" She asked.
"Can I sit?" He asked and she nodded moving her feet. Oliver looked at his hands then at Evelyn.
"Look I'm sorry for what I said about Harry, I know he doesn't have a death wish, I shouldn't of said that." Oliver added and Evelyn touched his knee gently.
"I should be the one whose sorry, I keep thinking I have to be Harry's hero that he's only a child, but he's not your right he is old enough to look after himself, I shouldn't of snapped at you." Evelyn replied and Oliver smiled.
"So we're friends again?" Oliver asked and Evelyn nodded hugging him as Katie walked in.
"You've got to be kidding." She said saying it louder than she thought because most people looked at her, including Evelyn and Oliver.
"What's wrong Katie?" Evelyn asked as Katie stamped her feet.
"Nothing, nothing at all." Katie replied storming up the stairs and Oliver looked at Evelyn raising an eyebrow and Evelyn replied with a shrug.
