CHAPTER 5: Evans is bloody mental!

Time flew by at Hogwarts according to Evangeline, it was already October. The trees sparked with colors and nowadays it was quite chilly outside. She was sitting in the library at the moment, it had become a place where she could find some peace and quiet among all the chaos. She was working on a short essay for charms class. Evangeline loved to learn new spells and she would often sit in her bed and practice spells which they had yet to learn in class. Evangeline was so caught up in her work that she did not notice a boy sitting down next to her. It wasn't until he cleared his throat that she looked up from her books. There in the seat next to her Alessandro Zabini was sitting.

"Good morning miss Evangeline Moore" he said with a smirk, his blue eyes filled with amusement as he watched the younger girl. She smiled at him.

"I'm fine thank you, how are you doing yourself?" she asked him, he shrugged.

"Same old, what are you working on there?" he asked her, she glanced down at her homework.

"An essay for charms" she answered him, he nodded and looked down at the paper.

"Yeah I remember going over this, you seem to be quite skilled in charms" he said, she frowned at him.

"Not to be rude, but how would you know. We are not in the same class and I doubt you have seen me preform magic in the halls" she said, he chuckled a little before looking up at her.

"Don't forget Moore, I know all kind of people. Even Slytherin 1st years" he told her with a chuckle.

"So you have people spying on me Alessandro?" she asked him with a raised eyebrow. He smirked at her.

"Maybe, maybe not" he answered her, she shook her head with an amused smile. He rose from his seat.

"I must go, just wanted to talk with you. See you around Moore" he said before disappearing around a book shelf. Evangeline looked after the boy, he sure was strange but she had a feeling he was a good friend to have around.

Evangeline was sitting together with Lily, Alice and Cassandra in the Great Hall eating lunch. They were discussing their transfiguration homework as there was a disturbance by the Slytherin table. All four girls turned around and saw a crowd gathering around something. Evangeline groaned, she had a good guess what the whole thing was about.

"I wonder what's happening" Cassandra said as she stood on her toes trying to see. Lily shrugged.

"Probably some stupid prank from the Marauders" she commented, Evangeline knew she was right. The Marauders had already become quite known around Hogwarts. James, Sirius and Peter were of course very proud of their work, even Remus who seemed to be a guy who stuck to the rules was proud of their work. As Professor McGonagall neared the Slytherin table the group of people dispersed revealing Severus Snape dressed in pink baby clothes, a pacifier in his mouth and gripping a teddy bear tightly. The laughter broke out immediately. People stood up and clapped their hands.

"The Marauders, the Marauders" some even chanted loudly. Evangeline noticed Lily becoming redder and redder before she finally exploded.

"Where are those prats?" she almost yelled at Evangeline, who shrugged.

"I don't know Lily, they're probably around here somewhere" she answered, Lily growled slightly as she walked off, she was determined to find those Marauders and give them a piece of her mind. They had no right to embarrass her friend like that. Evangeline looked after Lily as she left the Great Hall. She glanced at Alice and Cassandra who was looking at Snape, the charm must be quite strong because Snape didn't seem to have any control of himself. He was crying and wailing like a real baby.

"Should we go after her?" she asked, Alice and Cassandra were snapped out of their trance and looked at Evangeline.

"We probably should, in case she finds the Marauders" Alice pointed out.

"Yeah, when she is done with them there won't be much left of them" Cassandra agreed. The three friends hurried out of the room to look for their friend. They had looked for almost fifteen minutes and were about to give up when they heard shouting from a nearby corridor. They exchanged knowing glances.

"That must be them" Alice said and the three girls began running down the corridor. Evangeline was a bit faster than the other two and rounded the corner first. She found Lily standing there with her wand pointed toward James and Sirius, who actually looked a bit scared even thought they tried to hide it. Remus and Peter were standing on the side, Peter's eyes wide as he waited for something to happen.

"How dare you do something embarrassing like that to him? What has he ever done to bother you?" Lily shouted at the two boys, James and Sirius exchanged glances.

"He was born" they answered in unison with a grin. Evangeline groaned, why did they have to push her limit?

"Aguamenti!" Lily shouted, a jet of water coming out of her wand and hitting James and Sirius's faces. Both boys held up their arms to protect themselves from the cold water. Lily broke the spell, walked forward and slapped James and then Sirius before walking off with a huff. Evangeline looked at the two boys and then at Lily. She turned to her two friends.

"You head after Lily and I'll take care of the boys" she told them, Alice and Cassandra nodded and sprinted off to catch up with their friend while Evangeline made her way over to where the Marauders stood.

"I can't believe she actually slapped us!" James said in shock, Sirius nodded in agreement.

"I knew she had a temper but that was just insane, Evans is bloody mental mate" Sirius commented.

"It might have something to do with us pranking her best friend" Remus pointed out, Evangeline smiled at this. Remus was always the most sensible one out of the four. James glared at him.

"Then why didn't she slap you or Peter?" he asked while cleaning his glasses with his shirt.

"Because we weren't provoking her" Remus responded, Evangeline finally reached the group of friends.

"I told you not do go through with it, didn't I?" she asked them with a smirk, both James and Sirius glared at her but they knew that she was right. James was the first one to soften his glare as he walked towards Evangeline with a smirk. Sirius understood immediately what James was planning on doing and he too begun walking towards Evangeline.

"Don't you dare!" Evangeline said while slowly backing away. James and Sirius just grinned.

"James, Sirius, I'm serious." she warned them, Sirius smirked at her.

"You're wrong, I'm Sirius" he told her, she couldn't help to roll her eyes at his terrible joke.

"And you're going down Moore" James said before both he and Sirius begun running towards her. Evangeline began running down the corridor, trying to avoid being hugged by her two best friends who at the moment were quite wet...

Evangeline was sitting in the Gryffindor common room later that night, she was finishing up her homework for this week. She liked being a bit before schedule, that way she never had to stress over anything.

"Isn't it past your bedtime already?" Evangeline recognized the voice and looked up to see Fabian standing there.

"I could ask you the same question" Evangeline retorted, Fabian chuckled as he took a place next to her. He was holding a photo. Evangeline curiously glanced at the photo. It showed a red haired man with his arm wrapped around a red haired woman that looked a bit like Fabian and Gideon. The woman was holding a newborn baby in her arms. They were both smiling and looked very happy. Evangeline raised her eyes in question. Fabian smiled at the photo.

"It is my older sister Molly, her husband Arthur and their newborn son Bill" he explained, Evangeline nodded.

"They look very happy" she noted, he nodded with a smile.

"Yes they fell in love while attending Hogwarts actually, got married about a year ago and just a couple of weeks ago Bill was born. These are dangerous times and I'm glad that my sister has found happiness in them" Fabian said, Evangeline nodded. She might be a muggle born but she was aware of the threat lurking around in the shadows. An evil wizard named Voldemort was taking over more and more. He was killing off people like her, people that he considered to be dirty. It was sad and horrifying how many followers he had, how many people that actually shared his beliefs.

"People have started to disappear, my uncle disappeared just last week and no one's heard from him. They are presuming he is dead" Fabian said sadly. Evangeline placed a hand on his shoulder to comfort him.

"I'm sorry" she said quietly, Fabian just stared blankly in front of him, a couple of minutes passed until he snapped out of his trance.

"I'm sorry Eva, you're just a child, I shouldn't be talking about these kind of things with you" he said. Evangeline shook her head.

"I might be 11 years old but I have seen death before and I want you to know that you can speak to me whenever you want to about everything" she told him sincerely. He smiled at her gratefully.

"Thank you Eva, you really are a good friend" he said with a smile.

"Oh well, I do try" Evangeline joked as she closed her book and gathered all of her stuff.

"I'm going to bed, but I'm serious Fabian. You can always talk to me" she said, kissed him on his cheek and left the common room leaving Fabian on his own. He looked down at the photo as tears formed in his eyes. He just wished for none of his family members to be hurt by this dreadful war...
