Chapter 11 – Fights

Disclaimer - same as always not mine

HaliJade Snape- Thanks for still reviewing! Alrighty, i'm not gonna have Ethan, not this time. Y'know how i said that this was a multiple year story, well this year is more on focus on Jake. Although i felt the need to introduce Ethan's issues with his father in this year because they aren't something that is just going to suddenly appear.

AN - to add to that review answer, just so ppl know, this year is more on Jake than the others, especially here in the begining. Other years will be more focused on other people. So once again, still short, but enjoy.

"Evie, don't you want some dinner?" Evie heard her mother knock on her door for about the billionth time. This time it was dinner, past times it had been that everyone was having a tournament of exploding snap, or flying brooms, or decorating the Christmas tree. Evie hadn't budged then, and she didn't really feel like budging now, but she was starving.

Slowly she dragged herself from her bed and opened the door. Ginny smiled brilliantly at the fact that she had come out, but looked a little crestfallen when she saw how distressed and sad her daughter looked. She sighed.

"Oh honey, you're too young to have your heart broken by a guy." Despite everything Evie felt her cheeks flare up.

"Mum." She hissed. "It's not like that." Evie said, but her mother just gave her a look. Evie sat down at the enlarged table, as everyone, well all those that had been picked up at the train station or had been picking up at the train station were there. The rest of the Weasley's and those in this house were going to Christmas to spend Christmas Eve and day in one house. So they wouldn't all be together for a while.

As Evie ate her food she was shot many a worried or suspicious or disappointed glance. Jake and Jimmie were constantly shooting her looks – breaking from their feast – of worry and question. Her mother shot her a trillion worried looks. Her father's looks were all of disappointment, and some down right anger. Those were the looks that got to her the most.

What right did he have to judge Ethan like that? None. She resisted the urge to yell at him and instead mashed her potatoes further and further into her plate angrily.

After she was done eating she picked up her plate, took it to the sink and made to have a smooth inconspicuous exit. However this was not to be.

"Evangeline." His father said, using her full name, which was definitely not a good sign. "I want to talk to you. After dinner so please sit down and don't run off." He said calmly. Evie ground her teeth, but sat down, crossing her arms and staring at the table.

Dinner seemed to take ages, at least for Evie it did. When people were finally allowed to disperse she was taken away by her mother and father into the den.

Once in there she felt slightly more intimidated because she was sitting in one tiny chair, while her parents sat in large chairs behind a desk, looking far more powerful than her.

"I'll just get right to the point, what is going on between you and the spawn on Malfoy?" Harry asked, Ginny looked like she was about to reprimand him about something, but closed her mouth. Evie felt her cheeks grow hot instantly with anger.

"We're friends." She ground out. This was obviously not what her father wanted to hear however.

"You are friends with a Malfoy!" he yelled, but she didn't flinch back. Instead she stood and yelled right back at him.

YES I AM! WE ALL ARE! HE'S NOT LIKE HIS DAD!" She yelled, he stood too.

"Well he certainly seemed like his dad after what he said to you!" Harry yelled.

"God are you that stupid! He was afraid of his father!" she screamed. "YOU'VE GOT TO GET IT IN YOUR MINDS THAT WE AREN'T OUR PARENTS! JIMMIE AND I AREN'T YOU OR MOM, JAKE ISN'T RON OR HERMIONE, AND ETHAN IS CERTAINLY NOT HIS FATHER. WE NEVER WILL BE, GOD JUST LET US BE WHO WE WANT!" She screamed and stormed out of the den.

Evie had never been so angry in her entire life, especially not at her parents. But usually her parents weren't so narrow-minded. She had only been sitting there for about ten to fifteen minutes before Jake and Jimmie entered her room and plopped down on her bed next to her. They were all silent for a moment, because even though the three had grown up together, Evie was a girl and very different from them, and it made them all uncomfortable sometimes.

"What exactly happened between you and Ethan?" queried Jimmie quietly. Evie sighed.

"Do you ever think that Ethan was actually afraid to go back to his house?" Evie asked. Jake scoffed.

'Well duh, I would be too with Draco Malfoy as a father." He said. She turned away from them.

"Never mind." She mumbled. Then they were silent for a bit before the boys eventually left, still not quite sure what she had meant by her statement about Ethan.

AN - i heart reviewers
