Evelina was four months pregnant and the cold hit early that November. Due to an "injury" she suffered at practice with close friends, she was able to leave in time for the holidays. Sadly, she was unable to attend the new Potion teacher's Slugclub dinner that he had invited both her and her fiancé to. Although, it was a good idea to get her out of the "Potter's sister" spotlight, giving her a break from constant harassment.

Her bump was now visible and according to an old wives' tale, the two were expecting a son. Draco was overjoyed that a boy could carry on the Malfoy and Black name while Eve hoped for a girl. She accepted and realized it was a good thing to have a boy, good for both families.

Her father thought that she was at St. Mungo's because of her "serious injuries" but she was just sitting at Snape's house and hanging out with Choco all day. She cleaned the house, doodled the castle in her journal, and got the homework from Draco every day. He was able to stop by and bring her parchment to the old flat.

"You ok, Ev? Baby doing well?", Draco asked while knocking on the door.

She unlocked it with her wand and replied, "The baby and I are ok. Just a few kicks and contractions here and there but we should be fine. Did you bring the schoolwork?"

Draco took a seat next to her and handed her a stack of papers. "Your father still thinks you're at St. Mungos. I supposed he hasn't checked on you yet because he hasn't questioned our lies."

"He's just busy caught up in grading and that death eater thing. Besides, the term ends soon meaning that we get a short break. By the way, you don't have to stop by the house every day. I can take care of myself; if not, Choco can help...", she smiled at the house-elf who was drawing in her journal. "But, I'm going to need to hide somewhere to avoid my father from seeing the bump."

"I suppose you can just use a concealing charm or I can lie and say you came back home but no one is allowed to go up there. About that When do you think the baby's due? You know about the plan Ev and nothing I've done has worked. If I don't do this the Dark Lord is going to kill me and my family. You know that", he groaned while pacing her room. You could tell his worries got the best of him.

"It'll be fine. If we continue to work out the plans, I'm sure we could kill him soon. You have the cursed necklace as well as that poisoned bottle of liquor. Not to mention you have Madame Rosmerta under the empirical curse. You're an amazing wizard, you'll figure it out", Evelina kissed Draco.

He grabbed her hand and put the other on her stomach. "One day", she smiled. "Things will go back to the way it was and we could be happy again. Just you, me, and our son. I want to tell my father about the baby as well. I don't want to leave him in the dark till the delivery. During Christmas, perhaps."

The two lied on the bed and Draco put his arm over her stomach. Soon they were both asleep and Choco went to check on them. He covered the couple in a duvet and climbed to a smaller bed that Evelina made a few weeks before. It wasn't much, an old box covered with two pillows and a quilt that the two of them had worked on. To everyone else, the bed was nothing more than a rubbish bin but Choco thought of this as home. Evelina had a soft spot for Choco, just like she would have for her children one day.

When she woke up the next morning, Draco was gone but had left some breakfast for her. It wasn't much, just a cup of tea and a cut-up apple. Choco was drawing again and jumped up when he realized she was awake. "Evelina! Draco said he's going to Hogsmeade for some business. He just told me that on the way out, so do what you want with that information. Anyways, call me if you need any help. I'll be cleaning up the house because we'll have company later."

Evelina laughed before looking in shock. "Did you say- company?"

"Yeah, I can say it again if you'd like. Draco said that your father is coming back, along with his parents. I have to get the house in the Christmas spirit!"
