A Soul Bond - HP fanfic

Chapter 41. It doesn't feel right.

Hagrid has left the four of them at Mc Gonagall's office. After Several questions directed to Leanne, she ended up saying "Why is it when something happens, it is always you three? Although it surprised me to see you this time with them Evelyn." 

"Believe me professor, I've been asking myself the same question for six years." Eve laughed a bit at Ron's statement but knew it wasn't the time to be laughing. Nothing about this situation was laughable. 

After that, Snape came in "Oh Severus." He then proceeded to examine the necklece. 

"What do you think?" She asked. 

"I think Miss Bell is lucky to be alive." 

"She was cursed, wasn't she? I know Katie, off the Quidditch pitch, she wouldn't hurt a fly. If she was delivering that to professor Dumbledore, she wasn't doing it knowingly." Harry said and somehow, Eve knew what he was going with this. They all saw Malfoy going inside the bathroom. 

"Yes she was cursed." Mc. Gonagall said. 

"It was Malfoy." That made Eve choked a bit, she was not expecting him to be so blunt about it. They didn't have any evidence.

And everyone seemed to be thinking the same thing. "That is a very serious accussation, Potter." 

"Indeed. Your evidence?" 

"I just know." Evelyn wanted to smack that pretty face of his. What is he thinking? 

"You just... know." It was obvious that it triggered professor Snape "You astonish with your gifts, Potter. Gifts mere mortals can only dream of possessing. How grand it must be to be the Chosen One."

"I suggest you go back to your dormitories. All of you." 

Without another word, they all went back to their towers, Harry wanted to talk to Evelyn but he knew better. He could feel how angry she was and it was not a good time to confront her. 

"Good night Eve." Hermione said as they were about to go in different directions. 

"Night." 

She left them for a moment and decided to make a detour. She just had a feeling that this time of night was perfect to find Malfoy and get more answers as to what he's up to. 

And so, she started the familiar route towards the third floor to the Room of Requirements and sure enough, Malfoy was entering the room. 

"Knew it..." She whispered as she waited a bit for him to go inside and then followed him. Her heart was pouding loud but she couldn't back down now. She needs to find an evidence that he was the one who gave that bracelet to Katie. 

However it was a waste of time, all he was doing was looking at the cabinet and not doing anything, not even the apple thing putting it inside of it again. Nothing. 

She sigh a bit as she shook her head and thought 'Malfoy, what are you doing?' 

Knowing it was a lost case for tonight, she went back to her dormitory and drifted off to sleep. 

***

Two days later, she remembered that last night was supposed to be the dinner she was invited to by professor Slughorn, but she completely forgot and she was very grateful when she met with Hermione and told her all about the uncomfortable night she had, explaining how Comrac was sucking on his fingers while looking at her and even with that thought alone, it made Evelyn very uncomfortable. 

What made her a bit mad, was how Harry didn't even went to look for her to remind her... or even ask if she was going with him as a date. Although it was implied when the same professor invited her, she thought a formal invitation would've been nice.
