"Close your eyes, close them." Evie encouraged Harry as the pair sat together in the living room at the Burrow, stomach full with the christmas dinner Molly put together, "It'll be completely worth it."
"Why do I have to close my eyes?" Harry pouted, putting his hands over his eyes as he heard the faint cling of metals, bracing himself slightly for whatever she was to pull out. Evie reached up, grabbing his hands to pull them off his face. Harry blinked, rubbing his eyes and looking down at the small box she held.
Inside laid a dog tag chain, shiny and silver. Harry picked it up, seeing the Leo constellation on one side before flipping it over and finding the Aquarius one as well, "Our signs."
"Do you like it?" Evie asked with a grin, watching as he put it around his neck so it hung over his heart, "It looks good on you."
"I love it, it's brilliant." Harry grinned with a flushed face, feeling the cold metal through the thin tee shirt, "Yours is outside."
"Outside?" Evie asked with a crazy look, taking his hand as he lead her through the house and out into the darkness, "This is starting to feel like a murder film."
"It's not a murder film." he teased, throwing a hand over her eyes and accidentally poking her in the eye, "Eyes closed."
"Hilarious." she said back unamused, hoping he'd steady her as they walked. Evie held Harry's arm so she didn't feel, she was walking blind, waiting until they stopped for his hand to be pulled from her eyes.
Evie gasped as her eyes widened, "A telescope!"
"The new one." Harry grinned as he watched her hurry over and look through it, "How's it work?"
"Brilliantly!" Evie said back as she looked up at the stars, "Its so clear and gets so close."
Harry smiled as he watched her a moment longer, waiting as she pulled away from it to smile at him. Evie jogged into his arms and hugged him tightly, the pair giggling as they spun slightly before she kissed him on the lips softly, "Come look at all the constellations that remind me of you."
"I will, Mr.Weasley called me but when i'm done i'll come look with you." Harry said as Evie kissed his forehead before going back of her telescope, looking up as the stars and becoming comfortable with the new looks and positions.
Harry had been gone about ten minutes when Evie heard something from the field behind the burrow. Her eyes pulled away from the stars to look over, waiting until she heard it again from behind her. Evie spun around to look behind her, the field seemed to be completely empty, "Fred? George? Is that you?"
"Evie!" Tonks called out as her and Remus walked out of the burrow. Evie hurried over as she stood between the two, "Did you hear it?"
"Did you?" Evie asked back while Remus pulled her behind him slightly, Tonk's arm going across her as Arthur and Molly stood behind the pair, "Look, a shooting star."
All eyes looked up at the bright light flying across the sky, a faint smile. Arthur stared a moment before his eyes widened, "That's not a star, get back!"
The fire hit the field immediately, circling the burrow at a ridiculously quick rate, frightening the lot in the door way. Evie stared out as she made out the two figures in the fire, waiting until it cleared for her eyes to set on Bellatrix and Ambrose.
"Ambrose!" Evie yelled for her older brother, taking off in a sprint out toward him.
"Evie! Evie, stop!" Tonks hollered out to her as the fire opened for a moment, letting the Adderly girl pass through before shutting quickly.
"Ambrose, what are you doing? Stop it!" Evie said as she grabbed her brother tightly and looked at the fire, "This is my friends home, they haven't done anything wrong."
"It isn't me." Ambrose said with sad eyes as he spoke quickly to her, "She made me come, Dad said I needed to."
"Stay here, we will figure something out." Evie spoke fast to her brother as the fire got hotter, the pair backing away from it. Evie and Ambrose looked similar in the face, the same set of eyes and hair color. Evies was a bit lighter from the highlights she got put in every few months, while Ambroses was a darker blonde.
"I can't, i'll be killed, Evie." Ambrose said as his eyes watered, "Dads getting impatient, he wants you now."
"I can't." Evie shook her head, "I can't until it's the right time."
"When is the right time?" Ambrose asked with a insane look, "It'll happen soon!"
"I'm trying, I can't just leave and put everyone in danger worse then I already have!" Evie explained in disbelief as she grabbed her brother tightly, "If you stay, if we figure a way out to get you away from them, neither of us will have to go!"
"It's not that simple, we'll both be killed, don't you understand?" Ambrose asked as he grabbed her arms in disbelief, "You have to hurry."
"How much longer do I have?" Evie asked, her eyes dancing with concern.
"Six months, and that's me pushing it for you." Ambrose said as Evie looked away with a bite of her lip to hold back tears, "You staying here is putting Harry in more danger then you leaving."
"I love him so much." Evie said as she shook her head with a sad look, "You don't understand."
"If you love him, you'll do whats right for his safety." Ambrose said, hearing the Potter boy yelling from the outfield, Bellatrix mocking words coming to a end, "I have to go!"
"Amb-" Evie began before her brother disappeared into the black mist quickly, leaving her there to breath heavy.
"Evie! Evie!" Harry yelled out, bringing her back.
"Harry!" Evie yelled, running into the dry field at the sound of his voice, "Har-"
The couple both yelled as they ran into each other, grabbing the other in terror, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"Where's Bellatrix?" Evie asked as she looked around.
"Remus and Tonks fought her off, she ran." Harry said as he held Evie tightly, "Was that Ambrose?"
Evie nodded her head sadly as Harry pulled her into a tight hug. The loud crashing noise from the burrow made the two pull away and rush over quickly, meeting Tonks and Remus half way. The loop of fire around the house was gone, yet what came after was just worse.
The burrow burning down in flames.
