Evan:
Holmes did make sure that Evan got on the train in time, he had packed Evan's trunk the night before, woken Evan up, gotten some breakfast down him, laid out some Clothes for him and then apparated him to King's Cross, he even followed Evan through to the platform and saw him off on the train.
That is how Evan finds himself walking into the Great Hall and taking a seat at the Slytherin table across from Kit.
Evan is almost upset to be away from Holmes, he's become somewhat of a crutch for Evan, Evan isn't sure how he's going to manage taking care of himself on his own without Holmes, but he supposes if he could do it before, he can do it now.
Although before he hadn't murdered anyone.
Regardless, Evan was back at school with the people he loves and that's all that matters now, he doesn't want to think about his Christmas for just one night at least, he needs to enjoy being in the moment, he just wants to feel something other than grief.
"Don't mind if we join you, do you?" Asks Barty, tailed by Regulus.
Evan glances over at Kit who briefly shakes his head. Evan turns his attention to Barty and smiles "I suppose not" Evan replies
Regulus takes a seat next to Kit and then Barty groans "ugh, well I'm not going to walk all the way around, here, Reg, shift over let me go under" Barty states
"Under where? Under the table?" Asks Regulus
"Yeah" Barty replies with a shrug
"What? No, walk around like a normal person you heathen" Regulus states
Barty rolls his eyes and climbs over the bench, crouching down and crawling under the table before emerging on the other side and sitting next to Evan.
Evan can't help but laugh at the ridiculousness of the action, shaking his head at Barty who simply flashes him a wide grin.
"I can't believe I associate myself with you" Regulus sighs and shakes his head
"You love me really, Reg" Barty replies, still grinning as he places a hand on Evan's knee.
As the feast appears in front of them, Evan notices that Regulus looks rather fidgety "You okay, Regulus?" Asks Evan
Regulus nods, wringing his hands out "I'm not sitting in my spot" Regulus replies, his eyes flitting to further down the table
"It's just a seat at the table, Reg" Barty says, he doesn't say it with malice, Evan thinks he's trying to be comforting, but it clearly isn't working because Regulus nods despite still ringing his hands and chewing on his lip, he's evidently uncomfortable.
"Yeah, no you're right" Regulus replies
"Let's move" Evan says
"We don't have to" Regulus replies
"No, it's okay, let's move" Evan insists.
Regulus offers him a smile and nods, they all stand up and shuffle further down the table and once Regulus is sat in 'his spot' he seems much more comfortable, so Evan makes a note of ensuring they always sit here.
They each fill their plates with food and tuck into their meals.
Evan has obviously been eating because Holmes hasn't let him skip a meal, but every meal since his parents died has tasted like ash and dirt in his mouth, this is the first meal he's had that actually tastes good, and he's enjoying every minute of it.
