Chapter 47

 " NICOLE!" Evelyn shouted running into the hall, Lily following behind. It had been two days since the ball, and they were graduating in three days. The students were mainly sitting around, the seventh years free to roam around the school as they pleased, even being let off the hook when it came to curfew.

Nicole and the rest were sitting at the Gryffindor table, as usual. Nicole along with the Marauders and Marlene looked up," What?" Nicole asked when Lily and Evelyn arrived at the table.

Evelyn was panting, slightly out of breath. " Do you remember when I applied for that internship at St. Mungo's?" she asked. She sat up, along with the rest of the group. Evelyn squealed and threw the letter in her face," They accepted!" she practically sang.

The blonde picked up the letter and smiled," Congrats, I'm still waiting for my application to come back." Evelyn nodded," They said it would come late June." she replied, a smile still on her face.

Sirius looked around, then proceeded to hop over the table, " That's brilliant love." he said, kissing her on the head. Evelyn looked up and smiled," So what are you planning on doing after school?"

Sirius looked over to the others with warry eyes," Er I don't know yet." Evelyn frowned why did you just look at them?" she asked.

" I didn't."

She narrowed her eyes," Yes you did I asked you, and you got all nervous and looked at them."

The Gryffindor furrowed his eyebrows," No I didn't."

Evelyn glared slightly," Is there something you're not telling me?" she asked quietly, so no one but him could hear.

Sirius narrowed his eyes," No, why would you think that."

," Fine, don't tell me." she huffed before walking out of the hall not paying the others any attention.

James let out the breath he'd been holding. " I don't understand why we should keep it from her."

The group voiced their agreement.

" Yeah, I don't know why Dumbledore didn't ask her," Nicole whispered.

Lily nodded, " I mean, Evelyn is obviously capable and she can keep a secret." Lily's eyes trailed over to Remus and he nodded.

" Do you think Dumbledore had a reason?" Marlene asked.

" You think Evelyn's hiding something?" Sirius snapped.

Marlene scoffed," I didn't say that, but why wouldn't Dumbledore ask her?" she asked looking around the group.

Nicole shrugged, "Evelyn's an open book, I doubt she has any big secrets." The group mumbled their agreement. Lily looked to Nicole," You remember her boggart?" The Hufflepuff shuddered," How can I not?"

James looked to Sirius who stared back," Who was that lady, and why did she say ' You blew it'" Lily continued. Nobody said anything.

" Ev told me it was because she's afraid to fail, and running out of time," Nicole responded quietly, ", But she didn't say anything about the woman."

Sirius rolled his eyes," Oh c'mon! This is Evelyn Truelove we're talking about, she doesn't have some fucked up past- have you met her family?"

Evelyn pushed the incident out of her head and made her way to McGonagall's Office. Usually she would have just went to Sprout, but what she needed to asked required the Deputy Headmistress's attention. 

Evelyn knocked on the door and listened as McGonagall made her way to the door. She opened it and a curious expression graced her aging face, " Ms. Truelove, can I help you?"
