(Harry Potter Various x OC)
'Why can't I be normal'💥
Evangelina Petunia Potter was not normal.
She was the one that girls envied, wanted to be friends with or adored her and the girl that boys wanted to call theirs.
Even Slytherins adored her!

Evangelina's P.O.V:
As me and the golden trio made our way to first-class, I did my best not to worry about Sirius over the next couple of weeks. True, I could not stop himself from looking anxiously around every morning when the post owls arrived, nor, late at night before I went to sleep, prevent himself from seeing horrible visions of Sirius, cornered by dementors down some dark London street, but between times I tried to keep his mind off my godfather. I wished I still had Ballet to distract me; nothing worked so well on a troubled mind as a good, hard training session. On the other hand, our lessons were becoming more difficult and demanding than ever before, particularly Moody's Defense Against the Dark Arts.
To my surprise, Professor Moody had announced that he would be putting the Imperius Curse on each of us in turn, to demonstrate its power and to see whether they could resist its effects.
"But - but you said it's illegal, Professor," said Hermione uncertainly as Moody cleared away the desks with a sweep of his wand, leaving a large clear space in the middle of the room. "You said - to use it against another human was -"
"Dumbledore wants you taught what it feels like," said Moody, his magical eye swivelling onto Hermione and fixing her with an eerie, unblinking stare. "If you'd rather learn the hard way - when someone's putting it on you so they can control you completely - fine by me. You're excused. Off you go."
He pointed one gnarled finger toward the door. Hermione went very pink and muttered something about not meaning that she wanted to leave. Harry and Ron grinned at each other whilst I rolled my eyes, knowing that in the short time of knowing Hermione, she would rather eat bubotuber pus than miss such an important lesson.
No-one's P.O.V:
Moody began to beckon students forward in turn and put the Imperius Curse upon them. Evangelina watched as, one by one, her classmates did the most extraordinary things under its influence. Dean Thomas hopped three times around the room, singing the national anthem. Lavender Brown imitated a squirrel. Neville performed a series of quite astonishing gymnastics he would certainly not have been capable of in his normal state. Not one of them seemed to be able to fight off the curse, and each of them recovered only when Moody had removed it.
" Male Potter," Moody growled, "you next."
Harry moved forward into the middle of the classroom, into the space that Moody had cleared of desks. Moody raised his wand, pointed it at Harry, and said, "Imperio!"
It was the most wonderful feeling. Harry felt a floating sensation as every thought and worry in his head was wiped gently away, leaving nothing but a vague, untraceable happiness. He stood there feeling immensely relaxed, only dimly aware of everyone watching him.
And then he heard Mad-Eye Moody's voice, echoing in some distant chamber of his empty brain: Jump onto the desk...jump onto the desk...
Harry bent his knees obediently, preparing to spring.
The next thing Harry felt was considerable pain. He had both jumped and tried to prevent himself from jumping - the result was that he'd smashed headlong into the desk knocking it over, and, by the feeling in his legs, fractured both his kneecaps.
"Now, that's more like it!" growled Moody's voice, and suddenly, Harry felt the empty, echoing feeling in his head disappear. He remembered exactly what was happening, and the pain in his knees seemed to double.
"Look at that, you lot...Potter fought! He fought it, and he damn near beat it! We'll try that again, Potter, and the rest of you, pay attention - watch his eyes, that's where you see it - very good, Potter, very good indeed! They'll have trouble controlling you!"
"Female Potter," Moody called.
Evangelina moved forward into the middle of the classroom, into the space that Moody had cleared of desks. Moody raised his wand, pointed it at Eva, and said, "Imperio!"
It was the most wonderful feeling. She felt a floating sensation as every thought and worry in her head was wiped gently away, leaving nothing but a vague, untraceable happiness. She stood there feeling immensely relaxed, only dimly aware of everyone watching her.
And then she heard Mad-Eye Moody's voice, echoing in some distant chamber of her empty brain: Jump onto the desk...jump onto the desk...
But she ignored it, her mind was only fixed on one thing.
"Remarkable! Look at that, you lot...Potter fought! She fought it, and she beat it! We'll try that again, Potter, and the rest of you, pay attention - watch her eyes, that's where you see it - very good, Potter, very good indeed! They'll have trouble controlling you!"
Harry watched his sister as she was placed under the Imperius Curse her body was unnaturally calm but her eyes were frantic, almost as if they had been crying for help.
Moody suddenly stop, making Evangelina hold the teacher's desk for support.
"Did you lot see her, the pain in her eyes yet her body was calm!"
Evangelina's P.O.V:
"The way he talks," I muttered as I hobbled out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class an hour later (Moody had insisted on putting me through his paces four times in a row until I felt numb to the curse entirely), "You'd think we were all going to be attacked any second."
"Yeah, I know," said Ron, who was skipping on every alternate step. He had had much more difficulty with the curse than me or Harry, though Moody assured him the effects would wear off by lunchtime. "Talk about paranoid..." Ron glanced nervously over his shoulder to check that Moody was definitely out of earshot and went on. "No wonder they were glad to get shot of him at the Ministry. Did you hear him telling Seamus what he did to that witch who shouted 'Boo' behind him on April Fools' Day? And when are we supposed to read up on resisting the Imperius Curse with everything else we've got to do?"
"Oh...I almost forgot."I stated, catching the attention of the three of them, "Beauxbatons is having a party," I spoke, handing them a party invitation.
"When is it," Hermione asked.
"Tonight, please come!"I answered, I didn't give them a chance to reply as I went to ask Cedric and his friends.
I walked into the great hall to see Fleur, Gabby and some other Beauxbaton girls handing out invitation.
"Hey," I said to Cedric and his friends, catching their attention. I placed the invitations with my freehand because my other hand was occupied with the other invitations.
"When's the party?"Cedric asked.
"Tonight. Me, Fleur and Gabby managed to persuade Madame' Maxine, that it would be a good idea, so that the three schools can connect."
"I'm down," Justin said.
"Cool, I've got to go. Decorations and stuff."I said, leaving them to decorate the carriage.
Justin's P.O.V:
"You, my friend, have got a keeper," I said to Cedric as we all watched Eva's retreating figure.
