This year for Christmas I went to Grimmauld place with Harry Hermione and the Weasleys. We were all gathered around the dinner table exchanging small talks. All the Weasleys were there except Charlie Bill and Percy. Percy recently started working for the ministry and completely ignored the Weasleys. He's been brainwashed by Fudge, I'm not surprised though. Ever since he was head boy he had been getting on my nerves a lot.

"Here we go... Daddy's back" Mrs. Weasley rolled Mr. Weasley in on his wheelchair. He was badly injured. There were bruises around his body and bandages around his neck.

"Come on sit down! That's it, presents" Mrs. Weasley gestured us to sit down. I sat down next to Hermione and in front of me was a nicely wrapped blue present box. I slowly opened up the present box to reveal a hand knitted blue scarf with my initial E on the very end.

"Aw" I whispered under my breath. Hermione had a similar one to mine except hers was purple. Everyone was eager to try it on except for Ron who just put his knitted jumper down on the side.

"Thank you so much Mrs. Weasley" I said smiling at her.

"You're welcome dear" She returned a motherly smile handing me a plate of food, "Come on them everyone let's clear this away- Oh! Harry, Harry" She rushed over to Harry who walked down the stairs very slowly. I didn't look up at him on purpose and instead helped serve food.

"Toast- A Christmas toast-" Mr. Weasley raised his cup of juice as the rest of us followed, "To Mr. Harry Potter, without who, I will not be here. Harry"

"Harry" We all repeated raising out glass.

"Harry" Sirius came down stairs raising his glass winking at Harry. We all drank the juice as Harry took a seat beside me.

"Merry Christmas Evelyn" He said turning to face me.

"Merry Christmas" I replied not looking at him. From the corner of my eyes I saw him sigh. He looked like he wanted to say something but didn't and turned back to start eating his food.

"Looks like Umbridge is really trying to find out any evidence about the DA" I whispered to Hermione turning my body completely away from Harry.

"Yeah.. Do you think we should get rid of that parchment with the names?"

"I thought about it but how would we catch the person who snitches on us if they do?"

"You're right.. What can we do?"

"I don't know Hermione. As long as we can keep everyone's mouth shut then we should be fine"

"We best hope no one snitches"

"for their sake too" I said and the two of us broke into laughter. The whole time during dinner I did not look towards Harry. Hermione and I talked about random things while Harry just sat silently eating extremely slow.

"Thank you for the food Mrs. Weasley" I said putting the plate away getting up out of my seat as Hermione quickly followed putting her plate away linking her arm with mine.

"Oh don't worry about it dear"

The two of us made our way up towards our room that we shared and sat on the ground laughing about our stupid jokes.

"What'a with you and Harry?" She asked laughing a little.

"I walked in on Cho kissing Harry"

"You what!" Her smile quickly faded as she sat up straight furrowing her eyebrows.

"Even after he kissed me" I said rolling my eyes leaning my back on the bed. Silence filled the room and I looked towards Hermione. Her jaw was dropped open and her eyes were wide.

"And you didn't tell me this because?"

"It obviously didn't mean anything seeing that Cho and Harry kissed. I was probably someone he used just to get over Cho" I muttered.

"Well Cho kissed Harry, not Harry kissing Cho. Have you tried talking to Harry?"

"No never got the chance to- or I may have been ignoring him a little"

"Gosh Evelyn you're honestly the smartest girl I know and the stupidest"

"Thanks Hermione" I scoffed getting up to change into my pajamas. These were the same set of pajamas Gabrielle Fleur and I had bought to match. I don't even know where the two were, how they were doing, if they're safe. It was worrying me, everything was worrying me. Was I supposed to hope Fleur will come out from the dark so I wouldn't have to carry you-know-who's heir? I could never live with the fact my sister had to carry his heir though. I have 2 years until I'm 17, a legal adult where I could also use magic outside of Hogwarts.

"Well surely Harry wouldn't kiss you simply to get over Cho" Hermione said laying on the bed next to mine.

"You don't know that"

"No, no, Harry wouldn't do that. I've seen the way he looks at you. You two are both my best friends, of course I would know if you guys had feelings for each other"

"Yeah speaking of, you and Ron are far too obvious" I said laying down as Hermione threw a soft cover book at me.

"What!" I turned to face her throwing one of my pillows at her. She looked at me with her jaw dropped once again furrowing her eyebrows making me cracking a laughter. I soon joined in on her laughter and the two of us laughed to sleep.

***

The next morning we took the Hogwarts express back to Hogwarts. The whole ride my nose was in the Daily Prophet trying to avoid any eye contact with Harry.

'MASS BREAKOUT FROM AZKABAN'

10 high security prisoners were confirmed to have escaped from Azkaban once again. The minister had framed Sirius Black to be behind these attacks after he 'helped' Bellatrix Lestrange escape the first time. The ministry was using Sirius Black to cover anything up.

When the four of us walked in the great hall the usual weird glances weren't there. Everyone was just minding their own business. Usually people would give Harry weird looks because they thought Harry was lying about you know who returning.

"Harry" We turned around to see Seamus getting out of his seat calling Harry. "I uh.. I wanted to apologize. Now me mom says the prophet is unbelievable. So what I'm really trying to say is that.. I believe you"

I turned to see Harry who smiled a little.

"Thanks Seamus" He said nodding, "I- uh.. Would you like to join Dumbledore's Army?"

I nudged Harry slightly to lower his voice.

"Dumbledore's Army?" Seamus asked furrowing his eyebrows.

"It's a student group we made. Harry teaches us how to defend ourselves from the dark arts since Umbridge won't" Hermione whispered.

"Yeah that sounds amazing" He replied with a smile. I reached down into my robe and pulled out my fake galleon and handed it to him. I won't be needing it

"This is a fake galleon. The numbers on the edge of the coin will change accordingly to the date of our next meeting. We meet at the room of requirements" I said as he examined the coin with a smile on his face the whole time.

"Sounds good, I'll be there for the next meeting" He smiled sitting back down on his seat. The four of us soon followed and sat down at one of the tables.

"Maybe the parchment with the names really weren't the best idea" I said sighing as we sat down.

"Why so?" Hermione asked sitting down beside me.

"It's evidence"

"We talked about this. Without it we wouldn't know if anyone snitches, not to forget it would be hard to keep track of everyone who shows up. Besides I don't think anyone would snitch"

"How exactly do you know that though?"

"Well.. I don't know but do you have any other ideas to catch snitches?"

"No" I sighed, "I don't know, I just have a bad feeling"
