It was around 1:30 in the morning when the Marauders returned home. James offered for Remus and Sirius to stay the rest of the night there, since the next day (that day, technically) was Christmas.
When James was on his way to his and Lily's bedroom, he found his wife standing against the door frame. "Why are you awake?", James asked. "I could ask you that as well.", Lily replied. James was silent.
"You went after that boy, didn't you?" James nodded and Lily groaned. "James, this is exactly why Eve didn't want to tell you! Sure, she's angry with Seamus, but she doesn't want him killed!" "I'm not going to
kill him", James said. "Come on, you don't think he deserves it just a little bit?" Lily sighed. "Fine, but don't tell her." James smiled and followed her into the room.
The next morning, Evanna was woken up by Sirius in his Animagus form. "Sirius, get off!", she groaned, pulling the covers higher. He changed back and pulled the covers off. "Come on, Evie. It's Christmas!"
"Fine, I'll be downstairs in a minute.", Evanna replied somewhat angrily. The events from the night before were still bothering her. She got up, put her hair in a ponytail, and went downstairs.
After all of the presents were opened, Sirius, trying to be as normal as possible, asked, "So, Ron and Hermione fought again?" This launched Evanna into the story of what happened.
Evanna could tell that something wasn't right. A little while later, she followed Lily into the kitchen to talk to her.
"Is everything okay?", she asked. Lily nodded. "I think so. Why do you ask?" "I don't know. I just feel like dad, Remus, and Sirius are acting weird. Is that just me?" "Sweetheart, they are always acting weird."
Evanna rolled her eyes. "You know what I mean." "I think they're a little nervous or scared about you dating now.", Lily replied, hoping that Evanna would believe that. She nodded and left the room.
AN: Sorry if you were hoping for some action. The revenge may or may not start in the next chapter. Thanks again for reading!
