Evelyn's pov
Eternally I was screaming; how stupid could Draco have been? I mean yes we wanted the DA to know about us but that doesn't mean the whole school. Seriously I doubt this could be worse unless Umbridge actually knew it was us. In front of me was our symbol as clear as day. Written in a dark scarlet substance was the words 'watch as we awaken'. Admittedly it caused fantastic ease but well the whole school? So much for being an underground society with this! "Dark witch!" Hermione screeched furiously to me. "You've betrayed the light! I bet this was you, you and your evil boyfriend!" She hissed.
"If you think this was me you are sorely mistaken!" I hissed furiously.
"I doubt it! This has dark magic written all over it!" She retorted.
"Oh I know that!" I glared. "Do you really think I'm stupid?" I glared.
"I bet it was your stupid boyfriend!" Hermione sneered, glaring at Tom. "You've practically destroyed my best friend! You have bewitched her with you dark allure and you dark magic. You will fail; Dumbledore sees right through you." She hissed.
"You are wrong; Dumbledore is blind and sees only what he wishes to. My girlfriend here though sees right through the mist most of the time. You can't hope to bring hell to us because we can see you coming; we can see you. Emerging through the smoke and ash are a band of people who refuse to think for themselves." Tom spoke with such a matter of fact term Hermione shivered. Brilliant tactic letting the DA know we know about them while incriminating them in the first place.
"WE shall destroy you" Hermione swore.
"That is why we can see you coming Granger." Draco sneered. "As smart as you are you are foolish enough to let you're plans blurt out of your mouth."
"Strong words for a Gryffindor, such violent words… Are you sure Gryffindors are so separate from those 'evil Slytherins' after all? Maybe the only differences are that we are smart and cunning while you let your thoughts scream out of your mind." Bella smirked tutting to the Gryffindor.
"You have been corrupted beyond measure!" Granger exclaimed. "You have broken any moral code you once had! You have fallen for his dark spell and now you are sentenced to descend into hell like him." Her eyes were dark.
"You have forgotten haven't you?" I breathed.
"Forgotten what?" She sneered.
"You have forgotten this is merely the beginning; the young Tom Marvolo Riddle rather than his future. In case you haven't forgotten his future self still wants me dead. It doesn't change anything. Voldermort murdered my parents but however my boyfriend did not." I glared. "I cannot change what has been written but I can dictate my here and now!" I glared.
"He will though!" She spat. "He will murder your family. He will try to murder you!"
"I know." I glared.
"What?" Ron blinked.
"I know that my parents are dead, I know it every single day. I don't know them! I never will know them! You have family, people who stick by you but in truth in after this year I will not; I will be alone. I might as well make the most of it." I glared.
"Alone?" Granger scoffed. "You have already started your own dark order together with your evil, cold hearted boyfriend!" She sneered.
"After this year I will lose everyone, everything. I know it." I glared.
"Yeah you are right; you will lose all your friends and gain minions!" Ron sneered.
"You think he is the cold hearted one but it is you!" Bella sneered. "Heather is right; after this year she will lose everything and we don't know why! Lord Voldermort hates her, despises her because something happens this year which changes all."
"AS if!" Ron snorted.
"You have just proved you are heartless Weasley!" Bella looked at Ron in complete and utter disgust. "I doubt you will survive this war Weasley because I know that you have lost your saviour. No one will save you because you have alienated her and without her the light is helpless. She is not dark, she is not light but grey. No matter what occurs this year she will never forget you, remember she has the power to make or break you!" She sneered. I blinked; I'd thought Bella had disliked me but here she was patiently defending me when I could easily defend myself.
"Exactly she is dark!" Ronald sneered back.
I laughed. "If you had listened properly then she said I am grey."
"You are still dark by abandoning the side that your family had died for! You insult there very memory by dating him." Ron hissed pointing towards Tom. "What would they say? Your parents would be rolling in their graves! They would hate you for it!"
"Shut up about my parents!" I hissed.
"It is true! They would despise you for it!" Ron continued ploughing through his argument. "There only daughter siding with their murderer; they would hate you for it. You would be such a disappointment to them if they could only see you now Potter! You don't even deserve the name Potter for what you have done."
"LEAVE Heather alone!" Tom hissed. "I sure as hell know that your father would disown you if he could see you right now! I knew Arthur in school; he was kind and despised people like you."
"Liar!" Ron hissed.
"My boyfriend is not a liar!" I retorted.
"See standing up for him; you have gone dark!" Ron glared furiously glaring at me. "You have betrayed your parents' memory. After everything we have done for us, everything the order have you betrayed everything!" Ron spat.
Tom looked confused. "Order?"
"Sorry things are bad enough without me answering that right now." I rolled my eyes.
"Ok, keep it secret if you want to." Tom sighed.
"You didn't tell them?" Ron asked confused.
"Of course I didn't; why would I?" I hissed, glaring at Ron furiously.
"Well you are dating him!" Ron hissed pointing at my boyfriend.
"My boyfriend has nothing to do with this so leave him out! Right now you are trying to insult me; don't insult my boyfriend ether!" I glared angrily.
"He was the one who had tricked and corrupted you with his charm. We were your friends yet now you betrayed us for him despite what he will do to you! He will murder your parents or have you forgotten that Heather?" Hermione spat, anger burning in her eyes darkly. "He will try to kill you, try to murder you. He is just toying with you why can't you see that?" She glared.
"I have accepted he will break my heart." I breathed.
"Then why are you with him?" She hissed.
"He will break my heart but not now, I love him as he loves me but we know it will not last forever. It will burn when it ends but it won't stop it ending. Pain will consume me but I cannot deny my feelings for him. If you think this is just a 'phase' you are sorely mistaken. You have no idea do you? Love is the only thing that…" ….is my reason for living… "…has more power than any spell. It can break people as much as it can heal… You have no idea how impossible and unpreventable it can actually be or have you forgotten my parents?"
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked confused.
"Lilly hated James in school but then she fell for him as much as he did her." I replied.
"Now you're betraying them for him!" Ron yelled.
"No you are the one betraying her for the so called light. If the light is actually light it wouldn't be as bias the dark. The dark is prejudice as much as the light because both dictates the right sort of people to hang out with." Bella glared at him. "To the dark it is about blood, but the light is as much about family lines as the dark."
"Liar we don't care about your families!" Ron yelled.
"Liar!" I hissed back.
"Oh how then have we ever been prejudiced against families?" Ron arched his eyebrow sneering.
"The Malfoys." Draco smirked.
"The Blacks." Bella glared.
"My boyfriend." I hissed. "Need any more proof Weasley?"
"You've joined the dark side Potter!" Ron hissed. "This sign is proof of it. I can't believe you! After all my family has done for you, like taking you in as our own, and you abandon us for him! I thought you actually cared about us but seems I was wrong. You're consorting with the foulest wizards and witches who lived and you will never be able to dig yourself out after this! When he betrays you and you come back running for us we will never take you."
"I will never come running back for you!" I hissed.
"You will Potter, you will and I swear it!" Ronald hissed back furiously.
"You are wrong." I glared.
"You are already his prefect pet." Hermione leered. "I bet you helped him create this! 'Watch as we awaken' that's the exact sort of thing you would write to scare the school into panic! It's even got the wretched sign of death upon that thing! You'll become far worse than any death eater, you'll become worse than what you despise and you will lose! You will rot in Azkaban or perish by Voldermort's hand when we refuse to help you. You will have no protection from us!" She sneered.
"Like she would need protection from you pathetic morons!" Draco sneered back. "There is a reason she actually doesn't care right now; it is because right now that you are acting like the current death eaters. You are acting like you are better than the Slytherins, you are acting like you are more powerful than the dark lord; you are acting arrogant."
"No you are the ones acting arrogant!" Hermione sneered.
"You'll pay for this!" Ron gestured to the symbol.
"Oh yeah? Well when will you get it through you're think skull it wasn't me!" I spat, and I was actually being completely truthful after all it was Draco rather than me who had sent it into the sky. That message though was certainly genius. Honestly that was a stroke of genius, a mark to strike fear into their hearts. Though I am far from saying it was a brilliant idea but the words themselves was an added extra.
"I'd believe that when hell freezes over!" Granger sneered. "Not even the good lord would forgive you for what you have done Potter! You are becoming worse than Voldermort at least he didn't fall in love with the murderer of his parents!"
"He murdered his father!" I glared. "For your information if either of us is being unforgivable it is you!" I hissed.
"You are no saviour Potter so stop being so star-struck because you are far from ours hero. Jesus was a hero he died to save us from sin yet you are falling for your parents murderer!" Granger hissed- wait that implies she is actually Christian…
Ok this was probably going to cause Tom and me some minor problems later but… "In case you haven't noticed it has a CROSS on it! Oh and by the way didn't Jesus teach the world to forgive rather than hold grudges?" I spat.
She blinked, brushing off the fact I had used Jesus in my defence. "So?"
"I am certainly not Christian and I doubt any of the purebloods are ether. Most purebloods despise Christians; do you remember how they used to burn witches at the stake? This is more likely to be a muggleborn like you." I shot daggers at her. "This is bound more likely to be the opposite of Voldermort's movement in other words a movement against purebloods."
"Do you really think any of us would actually use their symbol?" Bella glared, sending me shocked worried glanced.
"I'm surprised the great Hermione Granger hadn't noticed it!" Tom sneered; he too was looking at me slightly surprised. "You accuse us when actually none of us here would use that controversial symbol. WE would not risk being so stupid by bringing religiou values into things! When will you get over your prejudices?"
"Lay off Hermione!" Ron yelled.
"No Ron Heather is actually right; it is a Christian cross…" Hermione trailed off, looking at me slightly surprised. "She is right. In the wizarding world this symbol is controversial. It would be like using the dark mark as a normal tattoo. It brings up too many memories even though most Christians aren't like that."
"They only burnt witches and wizards who were stupid enough to have actually used magic in front of them." Ron dismissed, rolling his eyes.
"You have no idea do you?" I yelled angry at his dismissal. "By the looks of it Ronald Weasley it might be you." I glared.
~Smart move Eva. ~ Tom hissed smirking.
~Oh I know Tom. It's perfect; blame Ron and create suspicion within the Gryffindors away from me for once. It also demoralises the DA so people will begin to lose faith however it also makes it more difficult for us though…~ I hissed.
~I know but it was the only way that Umbridge wouldn't suspect us. ~ Tom sighed.
"Stop speaking in that filthy language!" Ron spat furiously.
"You know you are only just incriminating yourself Ronald Weasley." I glared. "I bet you are behind this. Guess what? You are just as prejudice as Voldermort you know! I wouldn't be surprised if you become another dark lord with your stupid prejudice and then where would the world be?" I glared angrily.
"Heather is right Ron." Neville glared. "You are seriously prejudiced!"
"Shut up traitor!" Ron snapped back.
"Shut the hell up yourself!" Ginny yelled.
"Why are you defending that traitor?" Ron glared, his eyes narrowing at his sister.
"I am defending Neville, who isn't a traitor by the way, because he is my friend just like Heather is! As for falling for the heir of Slytherin, pretty much every single girl in this school has been charmed by him anyway including me. She is in love does that mean nothing to you?" Ginny hissed. "Just because you haven't even been kissed doesn't mean you have to act like a complete jerk! At the beginning of the school year she was your best friend! It just goes to show how little you value friendship." I blinked at Ginny's words. Was she defending me?
~Yet another person who trusts you Eva, brilliant sign. ~ Tom hissed.
~There is only an extent she trusts me Tom, she doesn't trust me enough to give up all of her beliefs. Tom this is even worse! I can't bare to break her trust, not over this….~ I replied back, Ron's attention wasn't on me; it was on his sister.
"She doesn't value my friendship! After all I have done for her she goes and betrays the light for him!" Ron yelled. Where was Umbridge right now? Come to think of it where was any other teacher? This is so stupid right now honestly!
"What exactly have you done for her?" Draco asked pointedly.
"I've followed her into any dangerous situation!" Ron hissed.
"You've also abandoned me several times." I glared. "Where were you last year when my name was pulled out of the cup? Oh yeah! You abandoned me because you thought I had entered my name and had refused to tell you that I had! Do you really think I would want to put my life endanger?" I narrowed my eyes angrily. "After all that I forgave you but now? The only time I've fallen in love and you turn my life into hell!" I glared.
"You're the person who has given up on your principles! You know what he will do!" Ron retorted.
"Oh and let's think; what do the light side want me to do? Abandon any principles and kill the dark lord! The whole wizarding world is perfectly happy that a baby killed, destroyed a life! The so called light side were overjoyed!" I glared. "Principles? If I have given up all my principles then you have never had any in the first place!"
"How dare you!" Ron spat. Swiftly he drew his want on me.
"Leave my girlfriend alone!" Tom glared, gracefully stepping in front of me. "Don't you dare hurt her! She has done so much for you and yet you still act like this to her?"
"She has done nothing for me!" Ron glared.
"Liar!" It was Ginny again. "She saved my life remember? She saved your sister's life and you call that nothing? Would you rather I be dead?" She hissed.
"Don't defend me." I murmured, moving away from Tom and stepping into Ron's eye line. "Go on then Ron; do it!" I hissed. "Curse me, go on, I dare you." I glared. "What have I ever done directly against you? Let's think…" I pretended to ponder for a few seconds. "Oh nothing! I would happily take full responsibility if you could honestly tell me just one single thing."
~What are you doing? ~ Tom hissed.
~Trust me… ~ I breathed softly.
~ I always do, it's just I'm on edge; what if he actually goes and curses you? ~ Worry was laced through his voice,
~Let him. ~ I smirked.
~Why? ~ Tom hissed back nervously.
~He would lose all respect. ~ I replied.
~You're willing to be cursed for this? ~ Tom gaped.
~Yes… I've got to earn respect somehow. ~I breathed.
~Why do it this way? ~ He hissed.
~It's the only way. It is the only way to actually earn respect with them…the Slytherin anyway. ~ I breathed again.
~This is not the time! ~ Tom insisted.
~Please! ~ I begged.
"Speaking in that filthy language again Potter!" Ron sneered.
"Being rude again are we?" I glared. "More proof you are prejudice I believe Ron. A language?" I laughed. "You are calling something as minor as a language filthy? That is so stupid Weasley, unbelievably stupid! It's like calling English evil because Voldermort can speak it." I smirked. "Go on if you are going to curse me do it."
"Bombarda!" Ron spat.
An: I know it has been a while but I hope this update was ok. :D I know this chapter was a bit monotonous but I hope it was ok and I haven't insulted anyone by using the Christian Cross thing... I'm actually from a Christian family so I honestly don't desire to offend. Please tell me if I did! I swear I'll update the chapter and change it if I have!
