Eve's POV
Chapter 17- Confusion and Ambiguity. Love and Hatred.
I still remember yesterday night vividly, as if it kept repeating over and over again in my mind.
*FLASHBACK*
"Tell me what...Ms. Granger?" asked Dumbledore. How this man always appeared out of nowhere, I will never know.
"Well-" Hermione started, obviously about to tell him a big speech, I cut her off.
"Voldemort's got his flunkies that are trying to kill us" I said simply, my feelings were seriously getting played with these past few weeks and I was not about to cry
over this. I cried way too much already. Dumbledore's eyes lost their usual sparkle.
"I fear that is exactly what I came down here to tell you" Dumbledore said sadly. He looked older than ever.
"What do you mean? You've known about this before?" said Nay, her eyes were wide, obviously in wonder of how he could have known.
"You better come with me to my office-- all of you now" he said and swept out of the Common Room, all of us scrambling to follow him. As we were walking down
the corridor, Harry put his arm around me, this calmed me down a little, yet I was still scared. "Jumping Jalapenos" Dumbledore whispered to the Gargoyles who were
standing in front so the doorway to his office. They woke up groggily, ready to snap at anyone, but then they sprang to life and jumped aside once they saw it was
Dumbledore. We walked up the stairs, my hand in Harry's, I saw Hermione hand in Ron's and made a note to ask her about it later. Apparently they weren't just
"friends". We reached his office and he opened the doorway, standing in his office was a girl with blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes.
"Hey Harry, Ron, Hermione, Eve. I think, and" she suddenly had a slight look of jealousy in her eye, "Nay." she said Nay's name with an angry undertone, but only Nay
and I noticed this.
"Hey Ally" Harry said as if they were old friends.
"Eve, Nay, this is Alyssa Calloway, she is in Slytherin but she also does a special job for me. She does a few errands for me" Dumbldore said geturing towards Alyssa.
She stood staring at all of us.
"Hi" I said.
"Hello" Nay muttered, still a little confused about Alyssa.
"This afternoon" Alyssa started, seriously and sadly at the same time, "Professor Dumbledore sent me to check up on your aunt and her husband, because a spy for The
Order, informed us and said that Ben was in with Voldemort. When I got to the house, I saw your aunt, lying on the floor. I sent for St.Mungos----but it was too late---
I'm sorry" she finished sadly. I was shocked, Harry hugged me, Nay started crying silently. I let go of Harry and ran over to Nay and hugged her, I had to be the strong
one here.
"How?" I asked plainly turning to Alyssa.
"Aveda Kedavra curse" Dumbledore said.
"Who?" I asked. No one answered me, Nay was still crying silently, "WHO!" I shouted.
"We have reason to believe it was Ben" Dumbledore said quietly, looking old and tired---showing weakness. Nay looked up at me, stopped crying, I saw pure hate in
her eyes, the likes of which I never saw in her.
"That Bastard will get his!" She said loudly. " She clenched her fists.
"Yes and I will personally give it to him, even if I die trying" I said determinedly.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
* * *
"Harry! Why are you acting like this? Whets the matter!" I shouted, Harry had been extremely sullen, he had been like this since two days after we found out that
Voldemort as after us. My aunt died but I wasn't even acting like this. Nay, on the other hand, was taking this hard. She would stay up in her rooms for hours on end,
and when she actually came out, it was to see Draco, I would see her crying in his arms.
"It's nothing" he said sadly.
"No, it's something, and your not telling me what it is!" I yelled, I was getting frustrated, Harry was going on his romps again, and I never knew where he went and
why, it was like this all the time now. After we had made up, he started going to who-knows-where again.
"Eve, I am sorry but I can't tell you, you have to trust me" he pleaded.
"Harry, I have been trusting, but now you are going into dangerous waters with me. What can be so secretive that you can't tell me? I thought you loved me, and in
order to love, you must trust me, so why can't you tell me?" I said. I was really angry now.
"Okay, fine I will, but promise me you won't get scared." Harry said cautiously.
"I promise" I said happily.
"Ok, well, my scar starting hurting when I met you. That can mean one of two things" he paused and walked over to the couch and sat down, we were in the common
room, it was late at night, I went and sat next to him and turned to face him. The firelight made his eyes seem grander than they already were, I nodded, urging him
to continue. "It can mean that you are either Voldemort in disguise" I gasped at this but he continued, "or it can mean that Voldemort is after you."
"That still doesn't explain why you keep going out" I said calmly.
"Well, as soon as I got to Hogwarts, I went to see Dumbledore, I asked him why it was burning, he told me what I just told you about the two things. Well I wanted you
safe, no matter what, I knew I loved you already. I didn't care if you loved me back, I had to keep you safe" he didn't continue as I jumped on him and hugged him
tightly, not letting go, when I finally did let go, he continued, "I kept disappearing because Dumbledore said that Dementors and Death Eaters were being spotted in the
Forbidden Forest, I would go out there and try to find them. I was not alone though" he said quickly as he saw the concern on my face, "Snape and McGonagall would
go with me. We found a lot of Dementors, Snape was almost kissed once, but then about a few weeks back, we found a Death eater, he said that the time was getting
nearer for you to die. I got seriously scared for you and I started going out there more and more patrolling and fighting." Harry finished his long speech looking tired and
sad.
"Oh my God Harry" I breathed, all this time, I thought he was trying to get away from me and now I find out that he was trying to protect me. I hugged him again and
whispered into his ear, "I love you, I will always love you".
* * *
"Hey Nay" Draco drawled when he came over and sat next to Nay and I in the Library. It was 1 week after we heard about my aunts death, Nay was beginning to
accept it and the funeral was schedualed for the next day.
"Well well, look what the cat dragged in" I said disgusted when he kissed Nay.
"Oh, Eve, don't be so mean" Nay said jokingly.
"Shoot, I'm being nice to him right now, I have so many cracks about his leather jeans up in my head, I just won't say them when your around" I said sweetly and glared
at Draco, I smirked, he was holding his tongue because I was Nay's sister. I could see the pain on his face, I was enjoying this oh so much.
"What are you doing here? I thought you had quidditch practice" Nay said ignoring my comment.
"Canceled" Draco said glaring at me; I could see that he wanted me gone. Hah! Fat chance, I was going to enjoy some part of my homework.
"Interesting, don't you Slytherins have a game against us tomorrow, or are you guys too scared and forfeiting the game? Either way Gryffindor will win." I said sweetly,
I knew I was getting on his nerves. I smirked.
"Eve don't you have somewhere to be? Like the dog pound, where you belong" Draco sneered.
"Ouch!" I faked a hurt face, "But you know, if it really comes down to it, you should be on a leash, we never know when you may bite" I laughed at my own joke and
picked up my books, "Now Nay, take good care of Draco, if he starts to get irratated that means that he needs to be taken out for a walk". I smiled and left, I heard
people in the library snickering.

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen, we are here today to honor the life of Jenny Baxter" the priest began, he went on a little more, but I wasn't listening, I was sitting
in the front pew next to Nay. I was crying in public for the first time since I heard the news, I would not cry in front of Nay before because I isn't want her or anyone
to think I was over emotional. Dumbledore had let us out of Hogwarts and gave us a portkey for Lebanon. Now here we were, in an old chapel, my aunts cremated
ashes on the alter. "-And so, her nieces, Evelyn Skairek and Nadine Skairek, would like to each sing a song in their memory of her. Singing first is Nadine." the priest
said interrupting my thoughts and apparently Nay's too because she jumped at the sound of her name. I squeezed her hand, she forced a small smile and stood up and
walked to the alter. She started singing "Fly" by Celine Dion, her angelic voice rang through the chapel.
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again
I wanted to scream at her. I wanted to scream at her for marrying that bastard. We found out from the autopsy, before she was cremated, that she had bruisings from
him beating her. I never knew, no one knew.
Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this memory bittersweet
Until we meet
I wanted to scream at her for dying, for not saying good bye.
Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget
I wanted to scream at her for not waiting for me.
Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light
As Nay finished, I saw her crying, tears rushing down her cheek, she came back and sat on the pew. Now it was my turn. I breathed in and stood up, the song I chose
to sing had helped me so much during the past few days. It was "Through the Rain" by Mariah Carey, it reminded me of how my aunt suffered silently but always had
the strength to carry.
When you get caught in the rain,
With nowhere to run,
When you're distraught and in pain,
Without anyone.
When you keep crying to be saved,
But nobody comes,
And you feel so far away,
That you just can't...
Tears started to come down harder. I imagined all the pain she went through.
Find your way home.
You can get there alone.
It's okay.
What you say is...
I wanted to hug her one last time.
I can make it through the rain.
I can stand up once again.
On my own. And I know,
That I'm strong enough to mend.
And everytime I feel afraid,
I hold tighter to my faith.
And I live one more day,
And I make it through the rain.
I wanted to take away all her suffering before she died.
And if you keep falling down,
Don't you dare give in.
! You will arise, safe and sound.
So keep pressing...
On steadfastly,
And you'll find what you need,
To prevail.
What you say is...
Life was hard, but it had its joys, she never had the chance to find them.
I can make it through the rain.
I can stand up once again.
On my own. And I know,
That I'm strong enough to mend.
And everytime I feel afraid,
I hold tighter to my faith.
And I live one more day,
And I make it through the rain
I prayed to God as my voice sounded through the chapel
And when the wind blows,
And shadows grow close,
Don't be afraid.
There's nothing you can't face.
And should they tell you,
You'll never pull through,
Don't hesitate.
Stand tall and say...
I started to put more passion into my singing as I thought about Ben and how I would kill him soon enough.
I can make it through the rain.
I can stand up once again.
On my own. And I know,
That I'm strong enough to mend.
And every time I feel afraid,
I hold tighter to my faith.
And I live one more day,
And I make it through the rain.
I was starting to falter, but then I regained myself, I could do this, if not for me, then for Aunt Jenny.
And I can make it through the rain,
And stand up once again.
And I'll live one more day,
And I, I can make it through the rain.
Oh yes, you can.
You're gonna make it through the rain
I finished the song off crying, I ran down the the alter steps and though the ailes all the way out the chapel. I ran to the nearest tree and put my back against it and slid
down still crying. Hating everything.
"Eve" said a familiar voice, I looked up and saw David, I suddenly filled with more hate than I ever felt before.
"You!" I screamed. "You did this. You!"
"No, but I would have liked to" said David smiling evilly. "That women had it coming" he put his head back and laughed. Suddenly there was movement behind David.
"Expelliarmus!" shouted Nay, she was standing behind him with hate all over her face. David's wand was knocked out of his hand and rolled on the ground to the right
of the tree. Someone leaned down and picked it up. The persons long black hair covered her face so I couldn't see who it was. Then when she stood straight, I saw her
face.
"Dirge!" I said in disgust.
"I can handle this Lara" David said, annoyed.
"Aperantly you can't Lauren" she said smiling. "Now you know I wouldn't want to spoil your points with the Dark Lord, but David, honey, you need my help" after she
said this she walked straight over to David and gave him a long and powerful kiss. She handed him his wand and turned to me, ready to strike, but I was too quick.
"AJARY" I shouted and Lara flew back. Nay and David were already shooting spells at each other. Lara got up.
"JENTERHORN!" She screamed but I ducked. Spells were flying everywhere. Finally David fell and tripped and Nay had him in a lying position her wand at his heart.
he screamed and Lara turned. I took the chance and fired a disarming spell. Lara fell to the ground. I walked over.
"You move one inch and I will kill you" I said dripping with hatred. I saw her eyes dart, and I knew she was trying to think of a way to get out.
"Stupefy!" Nay shouted at something behind me, I didn't dare look in case Lara tried to escape. Then Nay pointed her wand at David, but I interjected.
"You take care of Dirge, leave David to me" I said and walked over to David with my wand still pointing at Dirge. When I got to David, Nay went over to Lara and
pointed her wand at her stomach. I pointed my Wand at David's stomach and muttered a spell, he fell to the ground, looking surprised. Nay muttered a few words and
the same happened to Lara. I turned to see what she had stunned earlier and saw a black robed thing lying on the floor. "That's a Death Eater" I breathed.
"Yea and he was pointing his wand at you. Hurry! They won't be down long we have to go!" Nay said urgently when David started to stir. I took out the Portkey from
my pocket and we both held on to it, the world started spinning. I started thinking of David and all that happened. It all made me stronger, a fighter.
