I, Envy → Harry Potter | √

ten ; Lupin returns

Envy watched as Connor slept. He looked peaceful, he didn't look stressed. These past days had been stressful, mostly for Harry but he hid it extremely well. Envy knew he didn't them to worry for him, but she couldn't help it. After these two and a half months, Harry had become like family. Though the Cranes were her true family. After all three of their hearings, the Ministry decided it would be best to suspend them for two weeks. They all decided to spend their suspension at the Weasley's, because Harry wasn't too keen on going to the Dursleys but he later learned that they had moved.

Molly was like a second mother to Envy, the first being Maeve. It was the last day of their suspension and the three were in Ron's bedroom. Envy, in the two weeks, claimed Ginny's as her own and Connor claimed Charlie's.

"Are you guys hyped for tomorrow?" Harry asked and Envy shook her head. She wasn't hyped, in fact she didn't want to return to school. She knew that loathsome Malfoy was awaiting their arrival, just to use this as his new form of bullying.

"As hyped as the word hype can go." Envy muttered and Connor, who had woken from the little commotion, raised his brow. "I mean, I adore Hogwarts and the new friends we made are waiting for us but they aren't the only ones waiting."

"Snape and Malfoy." Harry grunted and distorted his face in a manner of disgust.

"Snape's not that bad you know, once you truly get to know him. Malfoy on the other hand, I'm not that sure about him."

"Malfoy's a prick." Connor commented and they all instantly agreed. Envy hadn't known Draco for that long, but from the months she had been observing him, he has been acting like a prick. Picking mostly on Harry, Ron, Hermione and Connor. He usually treaded far from Envy because he had this belief that she might use whatever powers she got from the other world.

What Malfoy didn't understand is that Envy never went to the other side. She doesn't know what it looks like, what it feels like. "Dinner is ready!" Molly's voice rang and they scrambled up to their feet.

"It smells so good Mrs Weasley." Connor commented and rubbed his tummy. Molly laughed and forced them to sit.

"I wanted to make tonight extra special because it is after all the last night you'll be with us." She smiled and grabbed Envy's left hand and Harry's right hand. "Let us say grace." Envy then clasped Connor's cold hand. After two excruciating minutes, Molly finally said 'Amen' and Envy gingerly let go of Connor's hand. They exchanged a look and Harry rose a brow at Envy, who blushed and began dishing for herself.

The door suddenly barged open and Arthur walked in, with another man following close behind. He had brown hair and green eyes. They both plopped down and Envy watched as Harry's eyes lit up.

"Professor Lupin!" Harry was beaming and it looked as though he couldn't believe his eyes. Envy looked at Remus, she knew she saw him somewhere before, but she couldn't bring herself to remember where.

"Hello everyone." Remus smiled and locked eyes with Envy. She knew she had seen him before. She won't easily forget someone with a face so unique. "And who is this lovely young lady?"

"This is Envy Belva, the one I told Sirius about. He told me that he has told you." Harry replied and Envy focused on her food instead.

"Belva?" Remus asked and Envy glanced at him. His eyes were wide and his mouth hung agape. His focus was entirely on Envy. "As in Asher Belva and Noire Belva's daughter?"

"Technically, my mom kept her family name because of the Belva curse." Envy said as she pushed the food around on her plate and shrugged. She was hungry but she couldn't bring herself to eat.

"The Belva curse?" Harry was confused. Envy could easily pick up in that. She sighed and set her fork down and it landed with a loud clink on the plate. "What is that?"

"Only one of the most famous legends." Remus said. He looked excited, happy that someone finally asked the question. "It is said to have begun with Baltimore Belva. Baltimore was in his forties when the curse struck, some people believe his wife, Lana, was the one who cursed the Belva family and the generations to come."

"Well," Envy said and she noted how dark and disgusted her voice sounded, she didn't like to be a Belva and she knew her death was soon to come again. "People are wrong." Everyone looked at her, even the Weasleys. "Baltimore did start the curse but Lana wasn't the who cast the spell. Someone else did. Someone like Baltimore himself. But of course he blamed his wife and then they died, and the curse began."

Envy and Connor locked eyes for a moment before she averted her eyes. They landed on Lupin and she looked down to her plate and she gingerly picked up her fork and forced herself to eat.
