I paced back and forth in the living room. How was I supposed to tell him? Sirius was going to ease him into it, knowing that he'd listen to him. If I know Harry, he'll either start yelling or crying. I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

As I took a sip, I turned around and spat it out, creating a mist of drink. Harry stood in the living room, watching me oddly. "You alright?" He asked slowly. I nodded, catching my breath. "Sorry...you... um...startled me..." I stuttered.

He walked forward and searched my face. "What's going on?" I gulped loudly, feeling my palms turn clammy. "I um need to talk to you...with Eva..." I got out. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "About what...?"

I stared at him before running to the staircase and calling up, "EVA! COME DOWN HERE PLEASE." A door opened and I saw my little sister run down the long staircase. "What's up?" I looked from Harry to Eva, feeling sick.

"I...uh...need to talk to you both...about something...privately..." I stuttered. "Is here not a good place? There's no one around." Harry suggested. I shook my head. "Yeah no. Someone could come down... how about outside. Yeah let's go!" I decided, shoving them out the door. 

I sat them down on two logs and paced in front of them. Just come out with it, like ripping off a Band-Aid. I faced them and stared at the ground. "There's no easy way to say this but...last year during Christmas... remember how Sirius um asked to talk to me privately?"

I saw pain in Harry's eyes as he shook his head yes. Eva nodded slowly, giving me a 'where are you going with this?' look. "Well...Sirius had this plan for you to move out of the Dursleys...but not with him." I wringed my hands as I saw confusion on both their faces.

"Sirius said that our mum and dad are going to adopt you if you are okay with it." I rushed. Delight  crossed over Eva's face, while confusion lingered on Harry's. "Why didn't he want me to live with him?" He asked quietly.

I winced. "He said that  his life was too unstable for you to live with him. Mainly because he was considered a criminal to the Ministry. It's up to you." I said softly. I motioned for Eva to stand up and walked back to the house. Before I followed her, I squeezed Harry's shoulder and walked after her.

As I turned the handle I heard him call my name. I turned to see tears running down his face. "Yes. I want you to adopt me." I smiled and hugged him. He squeezed me tightly, resting his chin on my head. "We're not going anywhere Harry. Especially me."

As I walked through an aisle on the Hogwarts Express, looking for Seamus, I smiled at Luna, who was wearing her glasses and holding a magazine. "Quibbler?" she offered. I took one and thanked her, walking forward to avoid collision with other students.

He was sitting with some Gryffindors when he spotted me. I beamed at him as he walked forward and engulfed me in a hug. He pulled back and pushed my hair behind my ear. "How was your holiday?" he smiled.

I shrugged. "Alright. How was Ireland?" He squeezed my hand. "As beautiful as you." I blushed as he pecked my lips and returned to his friends. I made my way to the compartment holding my friends.

As I slid into a seat next to Harry, I had a feeling I knew what they were talking about. "Don’t you see, it was a ceremony. An initiation." Harry told Hermione, who was reading her Advanced Ancient Runes book.

"Stop, Harry, I know where you're going with this—" "It’s happened. He’s one of them." Harry cut her off. Ron looked slightly confused. "One of what?" "Harry is under the impression that Draco Malfoy is now a Death Eater." I realized.
