Chapter Seven:

The Halloween feast had to be the best one yet, with pumpkins hovering with the candles, Dumbledore had gone all out there were even bats flying around and the ghosts put on a good show. Oliver put his arm round Evelyn's waist as they walked up to the common room whispering in her ear. Evelyn burst out laughing causing the twins in front of her to raise eyebrows at each other.

"Sorry so sorry." Evelyn said giggling then looked at Oliver who was also laughing.

"Your lying." She added.

"I never lie, I'm a honest man." Oliver replied as they came to a haut outside the common room. No one seemed to be going in then Dumbledore walked past them to the front, both of their smiles faded.

"We need to find her Professor McGonagall, please go to Mr Filch at once and tell him to search every painting in the castle for the fat lady." Came Dumbledore voice.

"You'll be lucky!." Said a crackling voice, Peeves the poltergeist came over the crowd. Evelyn looked at Oliver.

"What do you mean Peeves?" Dumbledore asked calmly.

"Ashamed her headship, sir." Peeves replied with a grin.

"Did she say who did it?" Dumbledore asked quietly.

"Oh yes professor head, nasty temper he's got that Sirius Black." Peeves replied and Evelyn gasped.

Dumbledore sent them all back into the Great Hall along with the other houses who were in the dark about what had happened. Evelyn looked for Harry but couldn't see him anywhere not listening to Dumbledore as he spoke until all the tables moved and hundreds of squashy purple sleeping bags covered the floor. Percy looked round at everyone.

"All right everyone into sleeping bags, no more talking lights out in ten minutes." He shouted. Oliver took Evelyn's hand leading her over to the group. Alicia was shaking like a leaf, Fred put a comforting arm round her shoulder.

"What would of happen if someone was around there at the time?" She asked quietly and Evelyn bit her lip slowly getting into her sleeping bag. Oliver sat up on his elbow watching Evelyn.

It's okay, Harry's safe I saw him before." Oliver said.

"It's not Harry I'm worried about." Evelyn replied and Oliver frowned.

"What's that suppose to mean?"

"Nothing I'm just scared that's all." Evelyn replied as the lights went out, but people were still talking.

"You can hop into my sleeping bag if you want." Oliver suggested.

"Are you sure?" Evelyn asked slowly getting out of her bag.

"Yeah." Oliver replied opening his bag and Evelyn climbed in her back against his chest, Oliver wrapped his arm round her waist lightly kissing her cheek. Evelyn was just dozing off when she heard Percy's voice.

"Have you any theory as to how he got in?"

"Many, each of them as unlikely as the next." Dumbledore replied, Evelyn closed her eyes trying to block them out until Professor Snape spoke.

"It seems impossible that Black could have entered the school without inside help. I did express my concerns when you appointed -"

"I do not believe a single person inside the castle helped Black enter it." Dumbledore replied sharply. Evelyn sighed knowing tomorrow she may need to visit an old friend.

The next morning Evelyn woke in an empty sleeping bag, she slowly sat up to see Harry coming towards her.

"Morning." They said as Harry sat beside her.

"Interesting night wasn't it." Evelyn said and he nodded.

"McGonagall almost kicked me off the team this morning." Harry replied and Evelyn looked at him.

"Oh no, Oliver would be so mad if that happened." Evelyn said undoing her hair.

"I know, I told her that we needed to win the cup and you know how she is with Gryffindor winning so Madam Hooch is watching over me." He replied with a sigh.

"Well be grateful your still playing." Evelyn said getting up along with Harry.

"Yeah I'll see you later." Harry replied as they parted, Evelyn walked through the Great hall looking for anyone, she saw Katie flirting with Cedric Diggory a fifth year Hufflepuff. She was too busy watching that she banged into someone,

"Oh I'm so sorry." Evelyn said looking up to see Marcus Flint.

"It's okay sweets, no harm done but a kiss might be nice." He replied as Evelyn rolled her eyes.

"You know what would be nice? You leaving me alone." She said then walked past him, heading out and up the stairs to the common room to see Oliver and Percy, a new painting behind them.

"Hello boys." Evelyn said wrapping her arms round Oliver resting her head on his back.

"Morning, the new password is wattle bird." Percy replied as the painting opened and he walked in.

"Come on beautiful we have classes this morning." Oliver added pulling her in.
