HAPPY NEW YEARS

Eva spent the days after her meetup with Jessie trying to stay occupied. A very important task for Eva was to find out anything she could about Evangeline Mayweather but seeing as the ministry had repeatedly denied her request to see the woman's file, Eva had little to go on.

Luckily she had the woman's photograph and a personal account from Narcissa stating Evangeline Mayweather was indeed close with the self-proclaimed Marauders and Eva would be a fool not to confront them about it at the party.

The struggle to put the pieces together kept Eva busy, she didn't have to think about her decisions because deep down Eva really didn't know if she had made the right one letting Adam and Jessie back into her hectic life.

As Eva sat curling her hair on the half broken chair, she thought about how the Marauders might take her accusations. Surely James would do anything to help? He seemed the type and Eva couldn't help but feel like the man quite liked her.

However the night would probably be most uncomfortable, spending an evening with one of your teachers didn't much take Eva's fancy. It was nearing half six, she had to get a move on and fast.

She was wearing just a simple layered black dress with her scuffed converse, her curled hair made the look more elegant but then again the chunk of eyeliner probably made her look like a cheap prostitute.

What did one bring to these parties, champagne? Eva would be damned if she brought that, it wouldn't even end up in the Potter's hands before she would drink the whole thing.

When Eva was ready she once again stored the pictures in her cleavage and stepped into her fireplace.

"The Potter's Manour, Godric's Hollow!"

When Eva landed, she seemed to be next to a lane of sorts. It wasn't completely dark so Eva opted to head towards the light and by god was the view something.

The house was huge, nothing like Eva had ever seen before and it seemed very secluded. It was safe to say Eva felt extremely out of place. She rubbed her arms, feeling the effects of the cold weather as she knocked on the door.

When Eva said she'd go, it was expected that loads of people were asked to attend but hardly any noise was being made as Eva bent down to place her ear next to the letter box.

The door was thrown open catching Eva off guard, almost giving the girl a heart attack,

"Jesus Harry are you trying to put me under the ground?" She grinned sarcastically at the scarred boy.

"Preferably" Harry taunted. Eva pretended to be completely outraged.

"Well don't you look smart?" Eva complimented Harry eyeing his blazer and trousers. He smiled in appreciation ushering the girl inside his home.

The two walked side by side down what seemed to be a very long corridor, the house already was so confusing for Eva.

"Where is everybody?" Eva asked, she expected the house to be packed.

"The dining room, don't particularly care" Harry shrugged looking as if he'd be anywhere else. Harry began to push a white door open, Eva should of stopped talking but didn't think to.

"You're so grumpy today, it's refreshing" Eva blurted out waltzing inside the room. Harry awkwardly coughed intending to show Eva she was in a room filled with people.

"Oh..." Eva mumbled, she looked around and upon spotting the Weasley twins her face contorted.

"We were wondering where Harry had gotten to.." James announced to the audience sipping on a flute of champagne. "He's brought Eva with him!". All of a sudden he stood up, making his way to stand beside the two teenagers.

"Eva i'd like to introduce you to my parents, Euphemia and Fleamont Potter" Eva followed his vision to an elderly couple sitting off to the corner, the pair smiled brightly at Eva although she only returned a half smile, old people scared the crap out of her.

"You've met Marlene and Mary" he concluded, she nodded briefly at the man.

"Lovely to see you again Eva!" Marlene said from her seat next to Lily.

"Neville's parents Alice and Frank" he pointed to a warm looking brunette who smiled feverishly at her, was everyone here this nice?

"You know the kids of course from around the school, then there's the Weasleys and the Grangers" Eva was greatful he was putting so much effort into making her feel comfortable but honestly she didn't give a fuck.

Eva hesitantly sat down, she saw the confused looks. It seemed as though most people were wondering why she was invited.

"So Eva what house are you in?" The short-haired brunette who seemed to be Neville's father asked. Eva smirked once they found out they'd probably be horrified.

"Slytherin.." Eva told him, noticing his expression falter.

"She's captain of the quidditch team" Harry added, Many were impressed by this.

"I expect Harry will be Gryffindor's captain soon enough" Eva added joining in.

"Oi what about us Smith?" Fred and George gasped outraged.

"What about you?" Eva asked sweetly.

"Harry takes after his father" Euphemia stated proudly. "We couldn't get James off his broom when he was young".

"I'm pretty sure he slept with his broom in his bed" Sirius said snorting into his cup.

"Sirius!.." Euphemia glared at the man.

"Sorry mum.." he laughed, Eva became confused at this statement. Wasn't it James' mother?.

Eva felt as if someone was staring at her, turning around she noticed Ron staring at her intently. Ginny didn't pretend not to notice.

"Ron why are you staring at Eva?" Ginny made sure to get the attention of everyone. Ron's face began to go as red as his hair. Eva frowned that seemed unfair to her, so she winked at the boy.

"Do you want a drink sweetheart?" Lily asked Eva, she nodded slightly and followed Lily out to the kitchen.

"I'm glad you could come" Lily said genuinly rummaging around in the cupboards for glasses.

"Thanks for the invite" Eva added, lately she had been acting too nice it was only a matter of time before she slipped up. Lily handed the girl a cup and excused herself.

Eva began to pour an orange liquid into the glass, not entirely sure what it was.

"Want to add something a little stronger?" A voice asked from behind her, Eva's body went rigid, she felt as if she couldn't breath. She turned around and leaned on the sink, not being able to back up anymore.

"Weasley" Eva scowled at the much taller boy. Fred came closer until they were practically touching, wearing his usual shit eating grin.

"Ignoring my letters are we?" He asked chuckling darkly.

"I have nothing to say to you" she growled.

"Nothing?" He cocked a brow at her.

"I wanted to find you after that night" he whispered in her ear, Eva wanted to rip him off but couldn't help but shiver. "Where have you been?.."

"You beat the shit out of my friend or do you remember that bit?" Eva said back unimpressed.

"We both know that's a lie, he attacked me you're using it as an excuse Eva" he stated.

"An excuse for what?"

"That you feel something for me.." he gripped her waist, Eva let out a surprised gasp. "That you enjoyed it just as much as I did".

"I-I don't I feel nothing" Eva stuttered, fully formed sentences struggled to come out. He turned her calm, collected self into jelly. He cupped her face and began to caress it.

"You're allowed to feel Eva" he mumbled beginning to kiss along her jaw, all sense began to exit her mind. "I can't get you out of my head, it's like you're stuck..".

Light moans began to escape Eva's mouth. It wasn't until voices were heard she pulled away abruptly. Eva was panicking, so much so she ran back to the living room.
