Return pt. 3
Today happened to be the day that they had brunch with the Weasleys. They had been informed of the new arrivals and were overjoyed to have them over. This also gave the Weasleys hope that Fred would return.
"So do you think they'll come?" Hermione asked Eva. She shrugged in response.
"Maybe, but it's most likely up to the ferret,"
Hermione scowled at the jab. "That was one time, besides he has changed,"
"Doesn't stop me from calling him a ferret, and you know we are getting close," Eva told her earnestly.
Hermione took that into consideration. Then there was a knock on the door and sure enough, Draco, Blaise, Pansy, Astoria, and Daphne were right there.
Eva and Draco shared a big bear hug before Harry brought him in for a guy hug, Ron doing the same. Everyone else was confused, even more so when Hermione kissed Draco.
"When did that happen?" Bill asked, which was the question everyone was thinking.
"Last month," Ron told them and picked up his food casually.
Eva turned to Bill as well. "Yeah, Draco and I are on good terms,"
"Narcissa turned out to not be half bad," Harry agreed the two high-fived. "The others are pretty cool too,"
"Well alright, welcome in," Molly told them with a warm smile. If only she had been so warm with Fleur.
With that, they indulged in a wonderful brunch that every person enjoyed thoroughly.
--------------------------------
Harry had cast a small glance a Ginny before turning to Ron who talked excitedly about the Chudley Cannons.
"You know I was sure that Eva was going pro," Ron told him when they mentioned their days on the Hogwarts team. "She was so good,"
"Really?" James asked joining them in the conversation.
"Out of this world type good," Harry agreed.
"Then you all should play," Lily told them. "I'm sure Molly wouldn't mind,"
"I wouldn't," Molly agreed as she overheard them. "We can transform the backyard,"
Soon enough everyone was on board.
The teams were set.
Team 1.
Seeker - Harry
Keeper - Ron
Chaser 1- Ginny
Chaser 2 - James
Chaser 3 - Tonks (Who had never played before.)
Beater 1 - George
Beater 2 - Bill
--------------------
Team 2.
Seeker - Draco
Keeper - Eva
Chaser 1 - Fluer. (Also had never played any quidditch.)
Chaser 2 - Astoria (Turns out she was interested in Quidditch.)
Chaser 3 - Hermione (She decided she would play only because the adults said their bones were too old.)
Beater 1 - Blaise
Beater 2 - Charlie
-----------------------------
Sirius would ref as the other adults didn't know the game enough. With combined magic between Eva and Hermione, the backyard became their own stadium. An invisible extension charm on the backyard hid the stadium from their neighbors, so just one acre was so much more.
Lily watched in awe as both girls knelt down and muttered an incantation, slowly in a wave the backyard transformed. Everyone was very impressed even though everyone else knew them much better than Mrs. and Mr. Potter.
The game had a bit of a slow learning curve at first for those who had never played Quidditch. Soon enough everyone knew the rules and the came was in session.
The air whipped through the stadium on that chilly November afternoon. Eva watched carefully as all the players got into position, instead of Captains they just had the seekers shake hands.
Instead of a sneer, it was a genuine smile. "Potter,"
Harry smiled back. "Malfoy,"
They had also transfigured their clothes into Quidditch uniforms. Harry's team wore Orange while Draco's team wore Silver, each color picked by the seekers. Both teams agreed to not wear house colors since the teams were made of multiple houses.
The game started out slow, being patient with those who hadn't played before, which had made both keeper's jobs easy especially since team two had all their chasers be new players.
Then once the new players got a hang of it the game sped up and got exciting.
"They're all so good," Lily said looking at the players who had played before.
"Harry's the youngest Seeker in a century," Sirius told her and she beamed with pride.
"I thought Eva was going to die playing one," Remus admitted. "It was in her third year, dementors had swarmed the stadium at Hogwarts,"
The adults pursed their lips, remembering the days that Sirius was on the run.
"I was at that game," Sirius told them. "It was great until then,"
They turned their attention back to the game.
The players zipped around, almost in harmony.
"Harry's team will have to catch the snitch if they want to win," Arthur commented.
He was right, Eva was too fast for Harry's team to win through quaffles. Ron was an alright Keeper, but he just wasn't as fast as Eva.
It took another 50 minutes before Harry caught the snitch but by then Draco's team had been so far ahead it hadn't mattered, they had won. By then it was 2 and everyone needed a second lunch, the game had burned off their brunch.
"Well, I have to admit, you are an impressive Quidditch player," James told Eva. "And you Harry, you are outstanding,"
"Thank you so much," Harry whispered. He finally had all he wanted, his parents.
--------------------------
Eva was fed up, it was around 5 pm and Molly had been doing nothing but berating Fleur.
"Fleur, could you help me real quick?" Eva asked and the other witch followed her into the hall.
"Why do you let her berate you like this?" Eva asked softly. "Even Ginny gives you snide looks,"
The blonde bit her lip. "I just want her approval,"
"It's not coming from letting her tear you down," Eva told her. "Stand up to her, fuck it, I'll stand up for you,"
"WHat no!" Fleur cried out.
Eva glanced at the door then back to Fleur. "Then what, even Bill is too afraid to stand up to his mother, but I'm not,"
"Trust me,"
