Chapter Three

Ginny broke the tension. "So, do you enjoy your job?" she asked him. Evan tried to speak, but found that his voice just wasn't working. So instead, he nodded. He seemed to be in the state of shock, even though he knew this would be coming for hours. But still, actually sitting here with her was unnerving.

Ginny seemed to accept his "answer," so she went on. "So, tell me about yourself." Evan looked up and somehow found his voice. He thanked the Gods as he spoke, "Er, well, there isn't much to tell. I'm a police officer, thirty two, and live by myself. Now, I've been assigned to be your bodyguard." Ginny laughed slightly and shook here head. "I meant like more of your background. I'm sorry if it's a little personal, but I can't really feel safe around you if I don't know anything about what you're like."

Evan gulped noticeably, and Ginny narrowed her eyes in suspicion slightly, wondering why he would be afraid to answer her. Evan, on the other hand, was wondering about how he could wriggle his way out of this one. This was the one question he was fearing she'd ask. He knew he could't lie to her, but he couldn't tell the truth, either. He blurted out without thinking, "I went to a school called Hogwarts from ages eleven to seventeen, and I-"

He was cut off by Ginny, suddenly saying, "Hogwarts? That's where I went! How come I never saw you? You're only a year older! Besides, my brother would know you!" Evan sighed. He was sort of glad she had stopped him, he almost gave himself away as Harry Potter. But, he had no idea how he was going to make up an excuse for that. "Well, um...er?" his voice seemed to have stopped working again.

"Excuse me?"

"...uh, well, you see...my family was very strict, and wanted me to get good grades...and, um-"

"Go on..."

"So, er, they paid extra money to give me...some private lessons."

Ginny, nodded, accepting his feeble excuse. "I see," she said simply, but she still looked suspicious and looked like she was thinking. She finally looked back at him and said, "Well, would you like something to drink?"

Evan nodded slightly. "A glass of water would be nice, thank you." Ginny made to move, but Evan stopped her. "I'll get it myself. Where's the kitchen?" She pointed down the hall. "Thanks," Evan mumbled, as he got up. As he left, Ginny sighed. This was going to be a long month or two with him...or so she thought.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Evan got to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water. He drank it all in one big gulped, and sighed. Why did he have to be here? Who the hell did he piss off in a past life? He sat down for a second, trying to think clearly.

One option was to leave and change his name again, but that would just mean running. He'd had enough of running. Besides, he couldn't leave, not while knowing Ginny was in danger. The second option was to reveal himself to her, but he couldn't do that, either. That would be wasting fourteen years of his life. His last option, and his personal favourite, was to nail this bastard and get the hell out of here.

He decided that option three was the best choice, and with that in mind, he somehow gathered the courage to go back into that living room. But, as he walked out of the kitchen, he realized something.

This was going to be one long assignment...

Ginny turned her head to see Evan coming back from the kitchen. "Did you find it?" she questioned. "Yeah, it was pretty easy to locate," he replied in a false cheery voice. "Well, the morning is ending, so would you like some lunch?"

"Er...umm-" in the middle of his "um," he decided to just relax around her. She didn't know it was him. He didn't have to act this way. Harry Potter might feel awkward around her, but Evan Black shouldn't have any problems with Ginny Weasley. So in mid noise, he stopped and said, "Sure, what are we having?"

Ginny beamed at his newfound easiness. "Well, what do you want?" Evan replied, "Something nice and tasty...and easy to eat. I know! Let's go for McDonald's!" She grinned. "Let's."

So off they went.

"Mmm...cheeseburgers..." Evan said as he finished his second cheeseburger. Ginny stared on as he finished a third...then a fourth...and a fifth. "Honostly, what's with boys and food? You eat just like my brother Ron and...Harry." she finished the last part with a hint of sadness. Evan noticed this, and swiftly changed the subject. "So, tell me about it."

"About what?"

"About why I'm here."
