The morning after Evalina's nightmare was very awkward, for Evalina, the children and the adults.

The nightmare made Evalina to be in a very bad mood, and she snapped at anyone who tried to talk to her, much to Tonks' despair and Molly's concern.

Hermione kept looking at her weirdly. Ginny kept looking at her almost meanly. The twins looked at her with curiosity, and so did Harry. Ron wasn't too bothered and mostly focused on having his breakfast.

A few days later, everyone was getting ready to go Hogwarts.

Evalina didn't have much to pack, only her clothes, wand and her spellbooks Dumbledore had given her.

She was sitting on her bed when Tonks walked in, smiling with something behind her back.

"Hi Ev." she said, Evalina frowning at the nickname but not saying anything.

"So you're going to Hogwarts tomorrow and I just thought I should give you a parting gift as you won't be able to see me for ages." Tonks said, dragging out the word 'ages'.

"Okay." said Evalina quietly, her hair ash brown as she didn't have any major emotions controlling her at that moment.

Tonks smiled at the lack of hostility and revealed a cat carrier from behind her back that contained a brown kitten.

"Okay." said Evalina.

Tonks was saddened by the lack of reaction and pulled the kitten out the carrier and placed her on Evalina's lap.

Evalina's hair momentarily glowed yellow, the colour for happiness, which made Tonks smile.

"What do you want to name her?"

Evalina's hair went orange, the colour for confusion before she said, "Name her?"

"Give her a name. So you can, uh, call her name and she'll run right to you. She's yours, you know." said Tonks, bemused on how Evalina didn't know the simple concept of naming a pet.

"Oh." Evalina muttered, her hair turning purple in concentration before she said "Koshka."

Then she smiled and confirmed her choice, "Koshka."

"That's a nice name. What does it mean?" said Tonks

"Cat in my mother's language." 

"Nice." Tonks said, smirking.

"I'll leave you two to bond." said Tonks, walking out the door.

Evalina gave her a rare smile.
