~Evelyn's p.o.v~

Its been a couple days since my talk with George and I've noticed that he's starting to hang out with Fred again, well he is his brother so I guess I shouldn't be too hurt. But I feel like the two of them are planning something, well in all honesty when are they not.

I've thrown myself into my school work doing my homework with Moony in his office. At first he questioned it, but I just told him the common room was too noisy.

I also haven't visited my dad since that day, but I'm afraid he'll kill Fred if he finds out what happened and I'd rather my dad not actually commit a murder.. People have been looking at me weird too, probably coz I'm not with the boys and I'm just not the same loud person I usually am.

"Black! About time I found you." I mentally groan not wanting to deal with Wood right now.

"Yes I was trying to hide Wood. What do you want?" I don't mean to be in a sour mood I just am, and Wood gives me a disappointing look.

"I'm thinking of doing practices all this week and next since our big game is exactly three weeks from now. I'm just letting you know so you and Weasleys' don't get any detentions. We have to be on our game since the Slytherins will be merciless. Alright?" I groan.

"Really Wood? Everyday for three weeks?! You may not have a life but the rest of us do." I say running my hands through my hair in frustration.

"Yes. We need to win since we lost to Hufflepuff so deal with it." I raise my eyebrow at him and he just looks at me daring me to challenge him.

"Ugh! Fine. Whatever."

"I'll post times in the common room, and I can't find Fred or George could you tell-"

"No. Sorry. You have to find them yourself." I say packing up my stuff and leaving him before he can even reply. I quickly make it back to my room, not bothering with dinner and easily fall into a dreamless sleep.

~Fred's p.o.v.~

"So you haven't seen Evey all day?" I ask George as we sit in the common room planning my chance to win Evey back.

"Nope." He says popping the 'p' and when he opens his mouth again Wood shows up outta no where and we both groan.

"Luckily I found you guys. The next three weeks we're having practice everyday to get ready for Slytherin. I told Black-"

"Wait where did you find her?" I ask a bit too eager but hey I want her back.

"She was in the library, but left once I told her about practice. Sorry Fred." I just nod and he walks away. I sigh and place my head in my hands again and George just places his hand on my shoulder.

"It'll be alright mate. Hey! Tomorrow is Saturday, I'll just wait in here for Paws to come down stairs and I'll just lead her to you, yeah?" I jump up and look at George a smile gracing my face after so long.

"You are a genius George! Let's do it!" I get all the stuff I'll need together for tomorrow, I'm hoping this works. She has to understand or else I don't know what I'll do with myself.

~Evey's p.o.v.~

I don't wake up until about eleven the next day, I didn't think I was that worn out jeez.

Anyways it's Saturday and I plan to just hang out by the Black Lake, so I put a pair of jeans on with a camisole and a cardigan since it's still warmish outside, with my mum's necklace and well Fred's bracelet...yes okay I still love him, and when I heard him say she used Polyjuice potion, well that wouldn't surprise me...guess I'll have to listen to his side at some point... I just don't know when. I grab my journal and head down to the common room, only to be scared half to death by none other than George Weasley..

"Blimey! George Weasley you arse! Scare me half to death!" I say smacking him with my journal as he is still laughing at me, he places his hand on my shoulder as he catches his breath.

"I-I'm sorry E-Evey. That was just too damn funny." He takes a deep breath righting himself, a smile still on his lips.

"You know what else will be funny? My foot up your-"

"Okay! Paws, I get it. No more scaring you to death. Anyways, where ya headed?" He asks falling into step beside me as we walk out of the common room.

"Outside. To just have some me time. Why?" I ask looking towards George as we head outside, why is he following me?

"Well that's just perfect! I was going to ask if you can come help me with some herbology homework, I can't identify this one tree.." I sigh knowing I need to help him I just didn't want to think about school today..

"Fine. Lead the way Georgie!" I say with a slight giggle and he looks at me with a surprised smile on his face, but doesn't say anything else as he grabs my arm and begins skipping making me giggle even more. This is the happiest I've felt in a long time, I'm thankful I have George.

"I've missed your laugh Paws. And your goofiness." I just roll my eyes as we continue skipping around the Black Lake in the direction of the big willow tree that I absolutely love.

"George, Don't tell me you couldn't figure out this is the willow tree I love. I mean it's easy." I say raising my eyebrow at him, but he looks totally confident like I'm the wrong one.

"Duh Evelyn I think I know your favorite tree, I mean we've been best friends for ages now." He says placing his hands on his hips and looking down on me like I'm a child.

"There's a plant that has grown in the cover of the tree that I can't figure out." I roll my eyes, but move toward the tree not caring if he follows, the git treating me like a child..

I brush aside the thick naked branches and it feels like the inside of the cover has its own heater, not a snowflake on the ground, and in the middle I see lilies sprouting and blooming to their full beauty.

Lilies don't grow this time of year...But I'm going to take them coz well, they're my favorite flower and whatever enchantment is on this place won't last for long.

"I remember those are your favorite." I hear quietly from behind me. I spin around to come face-to-face with Fred Weasley and a picnic set up behind him with lilies and orchids and candles spread around.

"Oh my- Fred did you do all this?" My anger being long forgotten I've just missed him all this time, I just couldn't go back to him.. And now he does this...

"Yeah...Evelyn would you like to join me for dinner?" I just nod, admiring his work I don't know how he did all this. We sit down and he brings out all my favorite foods from the dining hall, and tea since it started snowing outside.

"Fred why-?"

"Just let me." He takes a big breath calming himself done. "I want to apologize and explain Evelyn. What you saw that day, wasn't meant to happen. I went to get you your favorites for dinner since you missed it to see Remus and while I was down there, who I thought was you, came down the hall asking what I was doing. I should've known something was wrong because one she wasn't wearing the Weasley sweater like you were and she was a bit clingy. I blamed the holiday spirit and so I went with it, when she pushed me against the wall to kiss me,"

He cringes as well as me.

"I didn't feel the sparks I feel with you and by the time I realized it felt wrong...you were already there.. And I am so, so, SO sor-" this time I interrupted him, knowing he was telling the truth by the tears in his eyes, by placing my lips to his.

It took him a bit to realize I had forgiven him when he finally kissed me back. Feeling the fireworks like always. Before we could get too carried away I pulled back but we left our arms wrapped around each other.

"I forgive you Fred. I understand now that it was Johnson who tricked us both. And all that matters is that we figured it out and that I hopefully have you." I say slowly looking towards my lap afraid of what he'll say.

"Evelyn," he says grabbing my chin and raising my eyes to meet his. "As long as you want me, I am yours. Forever. I love you Evelyn Rose Black."

"I love you too Fred Gideon Weasley."
