Evangeline didn't get much sleep the night before they were due to return to Hogwarts. She tossed and turned for hours before giving up, she pulled up a cashmere blanket which lay on the foot of the bed and wrapped it around her shoulders to sit on the balcony. She admired the gardens in front of her, the perfectly cut grass, rows of red and white roses lining the walls and dozens of finely cut trees.
"Can't sleep?"
Evangeline jumped slightly as a smirk grew on her face. She turned and shook her head at Draco who was sat with his feet resting on the wall of the balcony.
"Me neither" he raised his eyebrows.
Evangeline turned back to the gardens, the wind picked up slightly and began rattling through the leaves on the trees.
"Want some?" Draco appeared at the wall which separated their balconies. He was holding a small teacup with hot red liquid, the steam was floating around above the cup and Evangeline narrowed her eyes "don't ask me what it is, just try it"
Evangeline picked up the cup from his hands and took a small sip. It was rich but sweet with small hints of blackcurrant and grapes "wow"
"Hot elvish wine" he motioned for her to drink more "mother always sends some up when I can't sleep"
"How does she know you can't sleep?"
"Sixth sense I guess"
Evangeline finished the wine and placed it back onto the wall where Draco was still standing. She looked up at him as his hair shifted in the wind. His posture remained the same as always however he was dressed in a black tshirt and straight legged trousers. Casual yet still powerful. A question popped into her mind.
"Do you know what your father is doing?"
"What?" Draco's eyes widened.
"For business. My parents are with him and I thought you might know"
"I don't" he shook his head and placed his hands into his trouser pockets. Evangeline pulled her lips into a frown as she continued to look at him.
"What's that face for?"
"I feel like you know" she mumbled.
