LOGIN"Lauren what are you boasting about and why are you sulking Sam" Evelina voiced out her confusion, as she looked at her brothers in a questioning way. Her tone calm and composed which lacked any emotion in it.
"I am boasting the fact that I get to attend Hogwarts with you whereas poor Sam will start his work as an Auror under Uncle Harry as he completed his training last year" Lauren said as he chuckled in excitement.
[AUROR is an profession in the wizarding world which is equivalent to police officers in our world]
"What is there to boast about, you will also be attending with me this year only and majority of the year you will be busy with your N.E.W.T preparation so none of you will be with me so don't boast" Evelina said in a calm and composed tone.
[N.E.W.T is an exam series which wizards take in their seventh year which also the graduating year in the wizarding world, its full form being...NASTILY EXHAUSTING WIZARDING TEST]
Lauren was speechless at how her words were like a cold water poured upon him, it awakened him and reminded him that he has his N.E.W.Ts this year.
Sam smirked at his brother when he saw that all the colour drained off his face. Evelina sat down as she simply continued reading the letter she received.
"Rose, you are quite heartless aren't you, how could you so easily remind me about my nightmare as if it is nothing. You have started reminding me of one of my friends in Hogwarts who joined just two years back just like you and still topped the O.W.Ls" Lauren said as he feigned a heartache.
[O.W.Ls is another series of exams which is taken by the wizards in their fifth year, this also determines the stream they will be taking up for the next two years of schooling, its full form being...ORDINARY WIZARDING LEVEL]
"It might be a nightmare to people like us but it will be a sweet dream for people like her, Teddy, Alice and Rose who spend their free time reading" Sam corrected his younger brother promptly.
Lauren sighed in defeat as he accepted the fact very easily whereas Evelina frowned and looked at her brothers.
"Who are the people you mentioned" Evelina asked in calm tone, masking her curiosity with indifference perfectly.
"They are out friends, you will meet them tonight and they also attend Hogwarts along with us" Lauren explained quickly to his sister.
"Exception being Teddy who is starting his work as an Auror with me" Sam quickly corrected his brother who missed out a detail.
Evelina nodded in understanding and then looked at her parents who were smiling at them fondly. Sam and Lauren also noticed their parents' expression and looked at them questioningly.
"Mum, Dad what is with that expression of yours" Sam asked on a curious note.
"We are just happy that you two are getting along with Rose pretty quickly. You two usually take time to open up with others so I was a bit worried but now I am relieved" Selena said as she smiled fondly at her children.
"Mum, Rose doesn't come under others, she is our own blood sister there is no way we will be hesitant around her" Lauren said as he stood up and side hugged Evelina, who chuckled softly.
"And rest assured we will change her indifferent attitude soon as well" Sam said as he also joined his siblings for a hug.
"All the Best then" Evelina wished him good luck in changing her attitude which was ingrained in her since childhood.
"Now let's eat out breakfast before it turns cold" Selena said as she ushered the duo back to their seats.
"When will we go to buy the supplies" Lauren asked as he remembered a crucial thing. Selena and Oliver looked at each other first and then at their kids.
"This time you all go and buy your stuff on your own along with others, we elders are busy" Oliver said as he looked at his kids to see their reaction.
"That should be fine, we will give Rose a quick short tour as well of the Diagon Alley" Sam agreed immediately.
Lauren and Evelina also nodded in agreement, Selena smiled and Oliver chuckled at their sons' excited faces.
"Right, I almost forgot about this. Rose dear you will be going to the Burrow with your brothers, as me and your Father will be busy because of the affairs in Ministry. That should be fine right" Selena asked in a doubtful tone, her eyes pleading as well.
[BURROW is a type of house the wizards lived in other than manors and mansions]
"I am fine staying alone over here doing my work, you don't need to worry about me Mum" Evelina said with a warm and polite smile on her face.
"No dear, your Father and me will also be going over there for dinner and returning back home for the night's rest and leave for work from here. It is been quite long that we gave our house elves their vacations, so this was a good chance" Selena explained patiently and warmly smiled at her.
"But won't that be rude to go there uninvited, I doubt any of them even know them" Evelina tried to reason out and escape from going over there.
"No sweetheart they know you very well, even though you don't know them but they know you and you will be introduced to them tonight and I assure you that Grandma Molly would love to have you over there" Oliver explained in a warm and doting tone as he warmly smiled at Evelina.
"Okay Mum, Dad I will go to stay at the Burrow then" Evelina sighed and accepted their decision. She then turned around her plate and wiped it quickly.
The elves appeared and served the dishes quickly according to everyone's preference, everyone then started eating their breakfast.
They reached downstairs, without Evelina slipping or James and Teddy stepping on her gown. All three them internally sighed in relief and exchanged polite smiles before going towards their families.After officially starting the banquet and introductions, Evelina was already tired. She excused herself and went to sit down on one of the corner tables. She was casually sipping her juice, when she heard silent chuckles from the table in front of hers.She looked up from her glass to find it full of all the older boys from earlier along with her brothers and Albert.She was about to look back own at her glass and get lost in her own world of thoughts when she realised someone was calling for her.She looked around then her eyes zeroed on Sam who was waving at asking her to come over. Evelina wanted to ignore him but others also noticed him asking her to go over. She defeatedly stood up and dragged her over to them.Though she was dragging herself for o
Evelina also returned his smile and was a bit stunned when the boy engulfed her in a warm brotherly hug. She was glad that she gained another younger one to dote and protect."Tomorrow when you will be going to the burrow, you will be meeting Grandma Molly and Grandpa Arthur. They are the parents of these Uncle and Aunts of yours" Oliver said as he pointed towards the Weasley family.Evelina nodded and smiled, she was already expecting another pair of grandparents who were warm and loving as only such people can give birth to such warm children."Let me introduce you to the Malfoy family. This is Draco and his wife Astoria, their only son Scorpius. He is in Third year of Hogwarts and is a Slytherin" Oliver said as he pointed towards three blonde heads.Evelina smiled and nodded politely towards them, the latter three also returned her smile and nods politely but Astoria smiled in a warm motherly way."Now let me introduce you to a scholarly family,
"When we came back after dealing with the Ministry we got this news, we tried to search for you two everywhere but we could not find you no matter what" The man continued his wife, who was currently trying to bay her tears."Look at you two crying like small kids, don't forget that we are actually in front of small kids. Nova stop scolding Fleur, now let's get the introduction done and move on with the banquet" Selena became the peacemaker and stopped the sisters from crying any further.Nova and Fleur nodded and quickly wiped their face dry with the help of their respective husbands. The sisters then looked at Evelina apologetically."Apologies dear, we started our family drama in your birthday banquet, we are really very sorry" Fleur apologized to Evelina with a guilty smile."Please don't, you are Aunt Nova's sister and for me Aunt Nova is second mother. Everyone related to her are naturally related to me so this was no drama instead I am glad that Aun
"You are the first person who did not ask the reason for him being named after a deatheater but wanted to know if he took after their qualities" Ginny looked at Evelina utterly speechless, she was starting to get an idea why her husband would call her unique and different from others.[DEATHEATER is a collective noun used for the followers of the Voldemort who is the villain in the Harry Potter series]"As I said, I looked up to them, for their bravery and qualities as wizards. He became deatheater with a purpose to safeguard his loved one, so it also becomes his good quality why would I question on basis of it" Evelina said in a calm and composed tone with a tranquil smile.Harry smiled and nodded at her explanation as he totally agreed with it. Other elders were also very surprised and amused at how clear her ideals were at such a short age."Let us continue then, this is Lily Luna Potter, youngest and only daughter of
"I'm sorry dear, you were so worried and concerned for her, whereas this little fella Sam was leisurely watching it from sidelines so I thought she was your girlfriend" Ginny turned and looked at Sam who was leisurely standing beside Teddy."I was about to go over but Lauren happened to be closest to her so I stopped as it was same with two people or one person, but I am glad I did not go over or else how would I enjoy such a seen" Sam said in a cheeky tone and chuckled while Lauren glared at the former."Sweetheart come I will introduce them to you" Oliver said as he motioned Evelina to come near him, so that it would be convenient to introduce everyone."This is Ginevra Weasley, we address her as Ginny. You met Harry already, she is his wife" Oliver said in a casual and lively tone.Harry smiled warmly and nodded at Evelina in a greeting manner, Evelina smiled and nodded as well. She looked at Ginny with a warm and friendly smile and she nodded in a gre
************FEW MINUTES BACK*************////////// POTTER MANSION //////////"Mum.... My dear, darling Mum, is there really no other way to reach Wood's Manor. You know it better than others that me using a portkey has never ended peaceful, at least not for me" a jet-black haired boy whined to his mother.[PORTKEY is an object used for transmigration from one place to another place which is pinned location of the Portkey]"That is because every time you are careless enough to not hold on tightly. Always it is either you let go immediately or very late, so there is no way you can blame the portkey" a red haired woman in her early thirties scoffed."James this time nothing would happen, you hold my hand properly and let go when I ask to, you will land safely" Harry tried to save the situation in between his eldest son and beloved wife.The Potter Family was
