I make my way down stairs into the pub area when I hear a bunch of familiar voices and soon see I giant cluster of flaming red hair. I sneak up behind the twins with a giant grin on my face.
"You two really should quit getting so tall!" They turn around in surprise probably not suspecting anyone to be talking to them.
"Evey!"
They yell in unison and both pick me up into a group hug, I can't help but laugh out loud as this is the twins' normal greeting for me. They set me down only for me to get crushed in a hug only given by Mrs. Weasley.
"Evelyn dear! How good to see you!" She says as she releases me.
"It's good to see you too Mrs. Weasley." I say with a wide grin towards my second mother.
"How've you been fairing? Remus already gone on business?" She says looking me up and down probably thinking I'm underfed... nope just naturally thin.
"We've been good, really. And yes he left about fifteen minutes ago."
"Well that's good to hear darling. We'll have dinner fixed up in a bit, you lot can run along." She says with a smile and the twins and I run up to their room to catch up.
"How was your summer Paws?" Fred asks as we both take a seat on his bed and George next to us.
"It was good. Just stayed home with Remus, since my best friends sort of left me for dead mummies and sand." I say trying and failing to keep a straight face when the boys really looked tore up about it.
"Guys! I was kidding. How was Egypt?" They got large smiles on their identical faces as they retold of all their adventures in a big hot desert.
"You would've loved it Evey! The pyramids with all the old magic symbols and we were even able to prank some people! We even tried shutting Percy in a pyramid..but Mum spotted us.." George says as we all dissolved into fits of laughter as they retell of the pranks which mostly happened to Percy.
Mrs Weasley called up for dinner and we all head back down stairs, and I say hello to all the others, including Harry who had also showed up earlier after my hurry to get to the twins.
"Evelyn Black!" Mr. Weasley says as he sees me and comes over to give me a small hug in comparison to his wife's hug.
"Mr. Weasley, how are you?"
"I'm good dear. Do you mind, er having a quick word?" I nod my head and get up to follow him.
We walk a few paces away from the table so we won't be overheard and now I really want to know what's going on.
"Evelyn dear have you seen the Profit lately?"
"No sir. Remus is usually the one to read the news. Why? What's happened?" He gave me almost a pitiful look that had me worried.
"Well it seems— well you can look for yourself." He says as he hands me an issue of the Daily Profit with a familiar looking man on the front page.
MASS MURDERER SIRIUS BLACK BREAKS OUT OF AZKABAN.
So after twelve years of being locked up as an innocent man he's finally managed to break out. Remus had always told me to hold my tongue when it comes to my father, seeing as we both know he is truely innocent. But if we are to say anything well people tend to take things out of hand and we'd probably be blamed for aiding him or something.
"I just want you to be cautious Evelyn. There have been rumors that he has broken out to come after yourself and Harry. And we don't want you going after him and getting in trouble."
"I understand Mr. Weasley. Thank you for letting me know."
"Of course dear. Now lets go enjoy some dinner yes?" I nod and smile and we head back to the table and dig in to some delishious food.
I wasn't really into the conversations around me too worried about my dad and how he had managed to get out of Azkaban— I mean that's suppose to be impossible! And people are going to believe he's trying to 'kill' Harry and I.
Why would he kill his only family? But I guess when he was framed for the murder of his wife and best friends, the public will believe anything.
"Eve? Are you alright?" Fred whispers so no attention is drawn to us, slightly nudging my elbow to break me out of my thoughts.
"Fine Freddie" I say with a smile, "why do you ask?"
"You just seem out of it. You sure you're okay?" Should I tell him? Well I guess I should, he'll know sooner or later and it'll be better coming from me.
"Well..I'll tell you and George later alright?"
He nods still looking slightly worried, but I excuse myself from the table and head up to bed not wanting to tell the twins tonight. I mean I know I should, but I just need to think it all through.
I can't get to sleep and toss and turn until it's dark outside and I hear a creak at my door.
"Evey? Are you still awake?" It's Fred and somehow he's managed to get into my room.
The boys and I are very good at pretending to sleep that we even fool each other, and right now it's working. I feel the side of my bed sink down a bit and concentrate on breathing slowly.
"I hope you're alright Eve." He says while moving the fringe out of my face. "Just know you can tell me anything." It feels like he's debating something, but instead gets up and goes to his room.
Now I feel guilty for not telling them right away.
I gotta tell them tomorrow.
