Evelyn woke up the next day dreading what was to come next. She had one day left to find the heir. To put it in lay man's terms, she was screwed. Yawning, she slipped into her robe and padded out into the TA common room. She entered the room to see Oliver standing there.
"Where are the girls?"
"Teaching." he said.
"Don't you have class as well?"
"Nope. I quit last night."
"You did what?" she replied, shocked.
"I never enjoyed teaching. I only started because Katie said Quidditch was too dangerous." He grew quiet as he mentioned Katie's name.
Evelyn said softly, "I'm sorry she left."
"Oh no you're not! You hated her! You never liked her! This is your entire fault anyways!" he shouted back. It was then she realized that he was swaying on the spot. A closer look revealed red bloodshot eyes.
"Are you drunk?" she accused.
"Of course not." he slurred, as he tripped over the edge of the couch.
"Liar." she said as she helped him onto the couch. "In Alberta, the drinking age is 18. Trust me. I know when someone is drunk. My friends always made me designated driver."
"Were you a party girl?"
She grinned at the question. "No. I studied most of the time."
"I just wanted the pain to go away." he whined.
"It will, but drinking is not the answer. You're going to have a hell of a hangover later. Trust me on that."
Oliver started laughing. "Trust you? You left me! Without word, thought or even a letter. Give me a reason to trust you!"
"Go to bed Oliver. You're going to wake up and regret all this if you don't."
"I regret nothing but you!" he exclaimed vehemently.
Evelyn sighed, trying not to get angry "So be it. I'll find the heir, then leave. I wasn't planning to stay anyways!" She moved towards the door. "Let's get one thing straight though. It is not my fault that Katie left. It is not my fault you quit teaching. The only thing that is my fault is me choosing how I live my life and it pisses you off because you have no control over it." She left him on the couch.
Jerk! Evelyn fumed all the way down to the Great Hall. The clouds outside filled the sky and darkened. Thunder rumbled in the distance and echoed throughout the hall as she walked through the doors. Dumbledore straightened, interest seen in his wise eyes.
He can't blame me for everything that's happened. Katie left because she wanted to. Oliver taught Qudditch because he chose to! I can't be an influence on somebody's choices when I'm an ocean away! He's just looking for stupid excuses. I'm not going to justify my life to him! The sky got blacker and blacker. I owe him nothing! My life is mine. I will not answer to him or to anyone else in this goddamn castle!
Out of nowhere, a lightning bolt shot through the ceiling right where Evelyn was standing. As everyone watched in shock, the bolt never hit her body, but dissipated into thin air. As like the day of the dementor attack, her eyes were bright scarlet.
Voldemort sat up straighter in his chair. Feeling the energy crackle around him, he grinned a sinister grin. The heir returns.
Hope you liked it. Review me please! I'm begging you!
