Evangeline Lestrange||Slytherin Princess

Chapter~13

Evana ran after Daphne, she lead her to the hospital wing where a very sad Draco was sitting. "Evana!" He hugged her. "Thanks for coming, despite the circumstances." No matter what, the two cousins would always be there for each other, especially when they needed it.

"What happened?" Evana asked seeing a knocked out Pansy with a big bruise on her head. She sat on the bed and held her hand, wishing she could feel more sympathy for Pansy without forcing herself for Draco's state.

"Took a bludger to the head, some stupid Gryffindors were playing." Draco said, stroking Pansy's mud brown hair.

"Excuse me! I need to give her this potion and she will be up in no time!" Madame Pomfrey bustled with a large potion bottle and a rag. She soaked the rag with the potion and put it on the purple bruise, it slowly dissapeared and Pansy's eyes opened.

"Pansy!" The trio said and the two girls hugged her.

"Whoa, guys what happened?" Pansy said, laughing and giving hugs to Evana an Daphne, slightly confused as to why Evana was being nice to her. As Draco explained why she was knocked out all the girls watching and listened in silence, Sophia and Milli raced in too, but they remained quiet and listened to Draco, it turns out Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Oliver Wood had been training, and since no beaters were there, the bludgers were free and hit Pansy. Draco was furious with the Gryffindors and wanted revenge.

"Thank goodness, you're alright. We don't need another feud with Gryffindor." Evana said, smiling cheekily. Draco seemed to disagree, the constant positivity Evana associated with Gryffindor was getting to him.

He huffed. "Evana, you can stop pretending to care about Gryffindors, it's not a nice trait."

Evana's cheeks turned bright pink. "I'm just trying to see the best of it, for Pansy's sake." She lied.

"So we're friends?" Pansy asked with uncertainty. Evana looked around at everyone. She knew that she could never trust her again, but they had been friends for years.

"Yes, of course." She smiled and hugged Pansy again. Over the next ten minutes they all talked. Talked about random things, Evana was happy she was friends with Pansy again, but she remained cautious, if she were to spill anything to anyone else.

"Alright, you lot!" Madame Pomfrey said. "You can leave now, classes tomorrow! Go to the feast soon!" Draco, Evana, Daphne, Sophia and Millicent left the hospital wing for the common rooms, to leave Pansy in rest, so she could change.

"So Draco..." Evana started, Draco could tell she was about to be annoying, and so he rolled his eyes. "Two dates, you and Pansy getting close, huh?" She winked. Draco blushed. It irritated Draco when Evana spoke about things like this, he didn't accept that she too was his age and could date.

"First off she asked me to Hogsmeade and it was cut short because someone told her about, you and James Ibbotson, so I made it up for her today, so I really don't see what the big deal is!" Draco huffed, turning a shade of tomato.

"So, Drakie-poo, are you two officially dating?" Daphne teased.

"Yes-no, sort of." Draco mumbled lamely. Draco did kind of feel a pang of embarrassment for his feelings for Pansy.

The feast seemed happier than ever to Evana, she sat with her friends and just had fun like she did on her first feast, Pansy had returned, but something had changed within her, she was nicer and less vane, Evana wondered what made her the way she was, but she didn't really care, as long as she stayed the same.

"So Evana, how is Jamie?" Pansy asked, eyes glinting with happiness, Evana was eating, stuffing her face more like.

"Uh, go ask him, over there!" She said pointing to Jamie who was in deep conversation with Elliott, presumably Quidditch.

"Evana! I meant your relationship!" Pansy laughed.

"Oh, well nothing we've only been dating for a bit, so nothing can really happen can it?" Evana said shrugging her shoulders.

"Alright then..." Pansy started eating desert, and her thoughts were drowned in sugar coated goodies.

As the feast was coming to an end, Dumbledore read out some notices. "Dementors are still on the prowl, so I remind you all to keep alert at all times. Also to Mr. Fred and George Weasley, and Miss Evangeline Lestrange, to report to Mr. Filches office," Evana knew the Weasley's would have thrown her under the bus, she looked around and saw Fred and George winking at her, at least they didn't hate her anymore, she would happily take the fall for any one of their pranks if it meant they'd forgive her outburst.

"Evana! What have you done? And with blood traitors of all people." Draco scolded looking annoyed. He stopped scowling only when his shin was kicked by Evana who gave him a dark look to shut him up.

"So, that is Mr, Fred and George Weasley and Evangeline Lestrange to report to Mr. Filches office, for meadiling with Peeves, and may I say, although I do not approve, that was a very well schemed prank." Dumbledore chuckled and Mcgonagall let a quick smile dash upon her lips.

Fred and George bowed to a clapping audience and Evana was forced up by Daphne and Sophia, she bowed and curtsied, Fred and George threw some posh claps her way, and she returned by blowing a kiss.

"Miss. Lestrange, expected better of you." Filch said glaring Evana in the eye, but now where near as bad as the glare he gave the twins.

"I'm sorry Mr. Filch." Evana said sweetly, but rolled her eyes when he looked away, she now saw a whole draw for just her. Filch just mumbled something under his breath.

"You can all go now, I don't want to see any of you here again, and Weasleys, detention, for not apologizing!" Filch snapped.

"But sir!" George howled.

"Out!" Filch shouted pointing to the door, the trio walked out, the twins bowing their heads.

The trio walked together out of the office and Evana turned to face the twins.

"I'm sorry-" She started.

The twins held their hands up at her. "We know. We know what you actually think, believe us we know you're harmless." Fred smirked.

Evana was taken aback. "Harmless huh?" She couldn't help but notice the slightly insulting tone Fred took with her. "I'll show you bloody harmless."

"Don't make me laugh, Lestrange." George grinned. The twins put their arms around Evana and Fred ruffled her hair. Evana said her goodbyes, but it was all too late for the twins as they realised she set off a stink bomb under their feet.

 "Maybe not harmless then." Fred said gagging.
