Evie followed Narcissa through the many shops and stores as the woman bought her things. Narcissa had explained that Bella, who was now Evie's guardian, was busy and so Narcissa had taken Draco and gone to get her.
Evie's muggle clothes horrified Narcissa and the first place Narcissa had taken her was Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. Evie behaved and let her "Aunt Cissy" dress her like a doll, resisting the urge to point out that she was seven years old thank you very much, and as such more then capable of dressing herself.
She had several new robes in green, lilac, white, blue and black. She chose to wear the green ones and was rewarded with a smile from both her aunt and cousin.
Evie, Narcissa discovered, was a figure skater. A very good one too. She was graceful and in control of her magic, unlike most children. She was observant and did not chatter. Narcissa watched Evie carefully.
The three stopped for lunch in a café. Evie was careful to mimic her aunt's movements and ordered a chicken Caesar wrap. They stopped in Gringott's, Flourish and Blott's, Broomstix, Sugarplum's Sweets Shop, the Flower Shop and the Apothecary.
"Oh dear! Bella must be waiting for us! Come along!" Narcissa ushed the two children into the Leaky Cauldron and stepped up to the fireplace. "Draco, you first." Draco took a handful of green powder and dropped it into the flames. "Lestrange Manor!" as he went spinning away Narcissa pushed Evie up to the flames and dropped the powder, stepping in with the child since it was her first time.
Narcissa was surprised that Evie did not fall, as most people did, but gracefully stepped out and dusted off her new robes. She looked around and spotted her "cousin" Katherine. She smiled at the other child, the same way she had smiled at Draco. He had been confused, Katherine didn't even look at Evie.
"Hello Aunt Cissy" Katherine said before returning to her work. Narcissa had her back turnd to the door when Bella entered the room but Evie had been looking around the room.
Then Evie shocked Narcissa. Out of nowhere the child started shrieking at the top of her lungs. She tried to run to the far end of the room but Bella had already levitated her to keep her from moving. She thrashed in mid air and Narcissa turned white with shock as Draco and Katherine looked on with confusion.
"Bella, what on earth…?" Bella didn't answer her sister, and Cissy seemed to be frozen as she watched in shock.
Evie screamed until Bella silenced her with a wave of her wand and thrashed until she went limp, her chest heaving as she breathed. Bella lowered her to the floor and approached her.
Evie, wide-eyed and wild scampered into the corner, placing her back to the wall as she struggled to undo Bella's silencing spells. Her raw magic was controlled perfectly and understood what she wanted. "You killed my mother" She screamed when the spell was broken.
