It was the start of Seventh year and Evelyn and James had just said goodbye to Euphemia, Fleamont, and Susie, even more tears being shed from James' mom than usual as it was their last year at Hogwarts.
Once they got on the train, they said goodbye, expecting to part ways. But, a moment later when they ended up at the prefect compartment together they turned to each other, simultaneously gasping while James also smacked himself in the head for forgetting she had been a prefect.
"James. Why are you at the prefects compartment?"
"Oh shit. I forgot to tell you," He rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "I'm head boy."
Evelyn's eyes widened, "I'm head girl."
The prefect compartment door opened and Remus' head popped out. "Come on, you two are late." Her grabbed their arms and tugged them inside.
The meeting was spent arranging who would patrol on what nights and other things like that. The two heads would patrol together and Remus was patrolling with a Hufflepuff girl.
Evelyn managed to stay involved in the conversation, inputting her advice when needed, but the whole time she was distracted, her mind stuck on the newfound information.
When the meeting ended, Remus, James, and Evelyn all headed towards their usual compartment that they shared with the other Marauders. James told Remus to go on ahead and he grabbed Evelyn's arm, pulling them both to a stop.
"Lion, are you alright? You look extremely tired and I hardly saw you all summer."
It was true. Their were dark circles under her eyes and the two of them had spent a lot less time together over the summer, as her aunt had locked her in her room for half of it.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just didn't get great sleep last night," Evelyn responded, heading towards their compartment once more, James quickly catching up. "And sorry about summer. I had caught a nasty illness and it was inconsistent. I wasn't allowed to tell you because the doctor said if people knew about it they would worry."
James nodded, only slightly convinced as he slid the compartment door open. Evelyn smiled as soon as she stepped in, quickly making her way towards Peter.
"Peter!" The girl exclaimed, throwing her arms around the boy as she sat next to him. The boy blushed and everyone else in the compartment just rolled their eyes. Evelyn had always taken a liking to Peter and he loved his friendship with her, not wanting to trade that for the world.
After his blush died down, Peter wrapped his arms around Evelyn. A cough was heard behind them and the girl laughed, pulling away from Peter.
