Evie held Harry's hand under the table, sitting between him and Hermione. The first Slugclub meeting was held later that evening which was the first time Harry and Evie actually got the chance to stop and see each other in quite a few days.
"So tell me, Cormac, do you see anything of your uncle Tiberius these days?" Slughorn asked the blonde, curly haired boy. Evie never liked Cormac much, he was ridiculously uncomfortable to be around and didn't seem to care when he made you feel so.
"Yes, sir. In fact i'm meant to go hunting with him and my father in the Ministry Of Magic over the holidays." Cormac said with a grin, pushing the pudding in his bowl around.
"Meant to go hunting with him and my father in the Ministry Of Magic over the holidays." Evie mocked under her breath, earning a elbow from Hermione while Harry chuckled slightly.
"Oh, be sure to give them both my best." Slughorn said with a slightly judgy look in his eye, "What about your uncle? For those of you that don't know, Marcus' uncle invented the wolves vein potion. Is he working on anything new?"
"Don't know. Him and dad don't get on." Marcus said as he continued to stuff his face with the pudding, having it drop down his chin horribly while the napkin tucked into his shirt.
"And yours, Evelyn?" Slughorn asked, a slight change of mood in his voice as he eyed her, "Your uncle."
"Fine." Evie said, tightening her grip on Harry's hand, "He's fine."
Evies uncle, along with her father, was a death eater. He'd been the one to bring Ambrose to get the Dark Marin branded onto his skin nearly a year ago now. From what Evie knew, they were off somewhere with the Malfoys now, leaving her manor in London completely empty and abandoned.
"And what about you Miss Granger, what exactly does your family do in the muggle world?" Slughorn asked, excitement in his eyes. Evie gave Blaise a odd look at his staring state her way, his eyebrow raising intimidatingly while Evie mearly rolled her eyes and pulled hers and Harry's joined hands onto her lap.
"My parents are dentist, sir." Hermione said as she sat her spoon down to nod his way, all eyes turned her way at the mention of it, confused faces being shared around the table, "They tend to peoples teeth."
"How lovely." Evie whispered as she looked to Harry, "Did you ever go to Dentist?"
"Plenty of times." he said, rubbing her arm slightly with a grin.
"Fascinating." Slughorn said as he eyed Hermione, much like the rest were, "And is that considering a dangerous profession."
"No." Hermione spoke, sitting up straighter as a grin spread on her face, "Although, one boy, Robby Bendwick, did bite my father once. He needed ten stitches."
No one around the table laughed at Hermione joke, non really understanding it aside from Harry who's mind was racing far too much to stop and think. The door of the large room opened, taking the awkwardness away from Hermione as everyone looked to find Ginny walked in, whipping her eyes.
