Chapter 2--When Bad Things Develop
Harry smiled to his self, running a hand through his hair as he walked downstairs to the common room where Ron and Hermionie were waiting for him. They mattered again, sort of.
"Morning Ron, 'Mionie," he said, smiling at them.
"Morning mate, glad to see you happy again," Ron said, smiling as he looked up from...was that a book, he'd changed alot without Harry noticing it.
"Yes, it is Harry," Hermionie added, smiling at him and jumping up from her chair.
"Come on, let's get down to breakfast, Evrana's going to meet us down there," Harry said, walking towards the door.
"Evrana?" Ron asked, following his friend, Hermionie close behind.
"Yeah, she and I are kind of going on a date this weekend, you'll like her, trust me," he replied, slipping out the door and holding it open for his two friends.
They got down to the last landing and Harry stopped, standing rigid and still as he listened to the commotion downstairs.
"Come on Evrana, what, you scared that precious Potter will find out?" Draco asked, pushing her against the wall.
"Leave me alone Malfoy!" she said, her voice like stone.
"Or what, you'll bite me? Oh I'm so scared of little miss vampire!" he said, mockingly.
"No, I won't bite you, but you won't like what i do," she replied, sliding her foot onto the wall.
"Oh, I get it, you'll call Daddy right? What's Daddy gonna do, give me detention for 'harassing his little angelic demon'?" Draco asked, laughing.
"Nope," she replied, bringing her knee up and causing Draco to fall back in pain. "Hope that was enjoyable Malfoy, 'cause that's all you'll ever get from me, now, if you'll excuse me, I have to wait for Harry."
Harry's figure softened as he began to walk back down the stairs, finally reaching Evrana.
"How much of that did you see, or hear for that matter?" Evrana asked, frowning slightly.
"I saw and heard from when Draco pushed you against the wall, I would have walked down to help, but you looked like you could handle it, which you did very nicely by the way," Harry replied, kissing her quickly.
"I see, so, are you going to introduce me to your friends?" she asked, laughing and looking over his shoulder at Ron and Hermionie.
"Oh, yeah, sorry, Evrana, this is Ron Weasley and Hermionie Granger. Hermionie, Ron, this is Mr. Knightly's daughter, Evrana," Harry said, wrapping Evrana in a tight embrace so that they were both facing his friends.
"It's nice to meet you Evrana, I take it that you're a day-glow," Hermionie said, smiling at Evrana.
"Yes, I am, but no worries, I can't bite people," Evrana replied, smiling.
"That's good to hear, we kind of like Harry the way he is, I don't know what I'd do if he became, you know, no offence to you of course Evrana," Ron said, smiling as well.
"None taken, oh, here comes my father, I haven't told him that I'm going out with Harry yet," Evrana said, sighing as her father approached.
"Evrana Renee Knightly, what are you doing? Mr. Potter, please release my daughter this instant or I shall be forced to deduct-" he began before Evrana cut him off.
"Daddy, I'm dating Harry, be nice. do you really think I'd let him hug me if I wasn't?" she asked, smiling at her father. She had his hair, but most likely her mother's eyes for her fathers were a clear amber color.
"No, I suppose you wouldn't, well, I guess I'll be seeing you in classes then Evrana, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Ms. Granger, enjoy your day," Professor Knightly replied, walking into the Great Hall.
"Come on," Harry said, following him. "We should eat some breakfast and get to class."
"Agreed, see you in Potions Evrana," Hermionie added as Evrana walked over to the Slytherin table, sitting by herself on the end closest to the doors.
Harry smiled to his self, running a hand through his hair as he walked downstairs to the common room where Ron and Hermionie were waiting for him. They mattered again, sort of.
