Evie Wood

7th year - Slytherin - Chaser -  Pureblood

Evie let out a quiet sigh as she looked at herself from the mirror. Blonde curls loose on her shoulders, and a frown on her face she glanced over at the familiar face who was also in the shop. “Do you think I should buy this dress?” she asked, glancing over at them before looking back at herself.

Dante had to take a moment and think about if he was full of himself, but he honestly didn’t think so. In the time he’d been here he was more or less just in a foul and sour mood, but he never put himself above anyone. He never did much at all, and most times older students just pushed him around and younger students mocked him. Things were different now in his Sixth year sure, but - “I -”he began but couldn’t come up with an argument. “You didn’t just look at my stupid badge, you decided to all say some bitch comments.”he pointed out with the rise of a finger.

“Right.”he came back with a sharp and crisp look, wheeling on his heel, and facing her. “It’s to purify the bigots and the scum that parade around the world.”he hissed in a quiet voice as to not be overheard by anyone else. “And you know what? Your down fall will be one of my most sweet - or rather everyone that’s around you… How’d you like that? Everyone falling and leaving you? You not being able to help them. People being hurt because of you?”he sneered in a harsh whisper, sustaining an act he wasn’t even part of, but his pride and wit aiming to crush her.

[eviexwood]

In all honesty, Evie didn’t know Dante, he was one of the guys who kept more to themselves but that wasn’t going to stop her from saying whatever she wanted to him. She wasn’t the type of girl who’d let him say whatever he wanted to her then get away with it. “Oh really?” she frowned shaking her head. “It was because you decided be a dickhead so I had to reply.” she snapped at him. 

A part of her knew she had taken a step too far but there was no going back now, Dante had managed to make her blood boil. His words stung, and she managed to keep a straight face. The thought of those she loved being hurt was terrifying but she knew that she had to be stronger and she was. She laughed as she glared at him. “You’re all words Lestrange, You’re not good enough for anything.” she spat. “You’re not strong enough, brave enough, you’re useless. You won’t be hurting anyone I love, or anyone I care about.”

Gabe shrugged. It wasn’t him who set up this god-awful time for a tutoring session. That’d been all her. “Next time don’t set it up so early,” he yawned again, scratching his stomach as he flopped into a chair. “Ugh… anything not Defense,” he offered.

[eviexwood]

“It’s 12. It’s not early at all.” she pointed out as she looked over at him. Nodding she pushed forward the potions textbook. “We’ll do potions today then how does that sound?”

“I dunno, I’ve been told I’m a pretty lucky guy.”

[eviexwood]

“Is that why you have no shoes?”

Graham let out a snort as he gathered his balance from the shove. “Oh, baby, you’re killin’ me here,” he said, clutching his heart for dramatic flair. “You don’t even need the practice, Evie. I do. And, yes, that was a compliment so I suggest you take it—along with my shirt—and go sit on the sidelines for an hour or so. Maybe even gimme some pointers?”

[eviexwood]

“Sorry, baby,  you should learn to behave yourself. ”She smirked at him, a laugh escaping her at his melodramatic ways. Evie sighed smiling at him. “I will take the compliment, but I will not hold your shirt.” She shook her head, putting his shirt in her bag. “Now we can practice together. I don’t sit on the sidelines, you know that, I will give you pointers though.”

[nealiemontague-deactivated20160]

“Will you have help for later then? Or should I be on standby?”

[eviexwood]

“I’m not too sure at the minute.” she smiled up at her. “Thanks though for the offer.”

“I don’t think borrowing notes from your friends is considered to be actual cheating, but that’s just me.”

[eviexwood]

“Of course not, I misunderstood what you meant.”

[miltvn-deactivated20160503]

“you could always call me ken. barbie’s significant, other. i think. i’m not that well versed in that story line.” he shrugged. “whenever the next hogsmeade trip is. or we could always get something from the kitchens.”

[eviexwood]

“Okay, Ken, do point out who you Barbie is.” she smirked at him, looking around before looking back up at Milton. “Get some from the kitchens? You can get butterbeer from the kitchens?”

[theannieaubrey-deactivated20180]

James found himself laughing.  “You’re real funny, I’ll give you that.  You’re imagining things, but you’re funny.”

[eviexwood]

“Why thank you Potter. I’m imagining things? Please, you’re no way near lucky enough to even get into that state.” she laughed. 

[miltvn-deactivated20160503]

“well if we weren’t friends before we could always become friends after a drink.” he looked around the corridor with a doubtful expression. “i wouldn’t be so sure. let’s just wait and see then, yeah?”

[eviexwood]

“We’ll see about that. So Barbie face, when are we going for this drink?” she smirked. “Sounds good to me. I’ll be sure to comfort you when you loose though.”

For all his attempts to be fair and open with Evie, he knew from her words that he’d been ignored. Her last comment in particular caused a reaction in him, and he tried not to pull a face at the sheer audacity. “No,” he replied, shaking his head a little. “Of course you can’t just swan in here, demand your grade changed, and then swan out. Of course not.” Teddy did his best to treat pupils with respect, the same thing he’d just offered to Evie, wanting to believe her and work with her, and make sure she felt listened to – except here she was, disrespecting him. “You can apologise for that remark and we can sit here and go over it together and establish where we think the other has gone wrong, or you can take your paper and leave my office before I give it a lower grade for the rudeness, arrogance, and dismissive attitude you just displayed.” Sure, he was young – but he wasn’t going to be walked over, and the tone of his voice made that more than clear. He wanted so much to be a new kind of open, earnest teacher, the kind he’d wanted as a student – except he’d never have spoken to a professor like that. Not even his Uncle Neville. “I don’t have to consider changing your grade at all. I have every right to say no and tell you to leave. If you want me to respect you enough to listen to why you think you deserve differently, respect me enough to remember that I’m the professor and that I’m here teaching because of my experience and knowledge on the subject.”

[eviexwood]

She leaned back into the seat she was sat at and huffed, looking at Teddy before closing her eyes and tilting her head back. “Look, I didn’t mean to offend you.” She admitted looking at him again, sure her reaction was not appropriate but she was frustrated and angry. Evie worked hard on that paper, far too hard and to not get the highest mark was infuriating. Putting one leg over the other she offered him a smile as she leaned closer. “I know that, but, I really worked hard on this, it’s not fair, which is why I’m so angry.” Playing with a curl in her hair she tilted her head a little “Oh I do respect you more than other professors, you’re hot which makes listening to you fun, I just didn’t think you’d be this unfair, you know I work hard in your classes, and the fact that you dropped my grade is not fair at all.”

Dante huffed out of his nose, his nostrils beginning to flare, and shaking his head back. As the girl took a step in front of him he took one back. Distance, distance was always better and gave you more of a hand. Dante scoffed at her before shaking his head again. “As if I think I’m better than everyone else.”his voice cracked, cheeks red and alarmed, as he grinned his teeth together. “You’re so damn delusional.”he spat.

“Oh sweetheart, I never once thought enough to care about what you think.”he let out a haughty laugh, before rolling his eyes. “The Torva will reign before Slytherin takes the cup.”he shrugged easily, knowing that he couldn’t just roll things like that out, especially if there was a falsehood to it. Dante just didn’t want to submit to how confident and strong the girl was. “I’ll leave you to shine your boots and powder your pride.”he drawled as he began walking away from her.

[eviexwood]

He was infuriating, Evie had to try and control her anger but Dante managed to get under her skin. Glaring at him she laughed at his words. “I’m delusional? Have you met yourself? You’re so full of yourself!” she defended herself.  “You put up this stance of not giving a fuck about anything, when actually you do care what people think of you. You’re ridiculous. Jheeze, all I did was look at your stupid badge and look at you now, standing here about to fight me.”

“Oh you’d know about the Torva reigning wouldn’t you?” she snapped at him. She couldn’t believe that he would say something like that. As he began to walk away, she walked after him. She wouldn’t let him think that he won. “Of course you’d know all about the Torva, right, Lestrange? You disgust me.”

Teddy was in the middle of making some notes when Evie walked in, startling him a little. His pot of ink wobbled at his sudden movement, and for an agonising second, he thought it was going to fall over – but it managed to keep itself upright, to his relief. “O-of course,” he replied to Evie’s announcement, quickly clearing away his notes and pushing his ink pot to where it couldn’t risk spilling again. “What can I help you with?” He sat up as Evie placed the paper on his desk, glancing over it with her comment in mind. While most teachers took offence at such an accusation, Teddy did his best to be fair. He knew the disappointment of getting a lower grade than expected, especially when it was the result of hard work. “I do my best to mark every paper fairly with both content and effort in mind, but I’m as human as you are, so – I am happy to hear your reasoning as to why you think the grade was wrong. And if I did mark it poorly, or if you don’t feel the effort put in was reflected, then I’d be thrilled to be able to give you a higher mark.” Teddy didn’t feel threatened by the idea of his own mistakes – instead, he was happy to see a student succeed even more. “Although, you know, an E is still an excellent grade. It means you’re working above average – but – anyway. Take a seat, and we can discuss this in more depth. But please consider that everyone, including you – and me – has off days.”

[eviexwood]

Evie sighed as she listened to Teddy and rolled her eyes. “Professor, listen-.” she sighed shaking her head. “I’m not a child. I know all that. I’m just saying that I deserve the higher grade. This essay was excellent.” she complained folding her arms across her chest. He was being patronizing,that’s what it felt like and she hated it. To some extent because Teddy was younger she felt more confident to challenge him, it was easier to do so. “Look, can you just change my grade and I’ll go?”

[gabrielalabaster-blog]

Gabe growled to himself, pushing himself up when he heard Evie leave and letting the comforter slip off of his body. After taking a moment to pull on some clothes, he took the stairs down to the common room slowly, not bothering to fix the mess that was his hair. “Right, let’s get on then,”

[eviexwood]

She looked up at him when he arrived and sighed. “Next time, don’t be late.” She warned him before pushing the books towards him. “Alright, what do you need help with?” 

[nealiemontague-deactivated20160]

Nealie pursed her lips and let her hands fall to her side. “If you’re sure,” she replied. “For the record, though, I wasn’t trying to offend you with the whole doing-it-for-you thing. You’d be surprised how many times I get asked to ‘help’ and wind up doing the work by myself.”

[eviexwood]

“You don’t have to give me an explanation.” she shrugged. “I’ve done most of it anyway, i’ll do the rest later.”

[theannieaubrey-deactivated20180]

“Believe me, I like going for a morning jog and all, but I also really like sleeping in late.”  He said, then raised his brows at her.  “Oh, yeah?  I’ll let you believe that, if it makes you happy, but I don’t think that’d would be the case, Wood.”

[eviexwood]

“Sleeping in late is good after a night out.” She nodded. “Oh it definitely would be the case. Of course, you’re never going to get into the situation with me but if you were you’d be begging.”
