It had taken Evey awhile to relocate the first years, but she made sure they knew she hadn’t meant it before she was telling them to hurry back to their houses before curfew as she headed off towards Gryffindor Tower. When she slipped in through the portrait hole, someone was waiting for her and pulled her into a deep kiss as fingers tangled into her hair. She let out a deep groan and followed the pulling to the couch where she was snogged most of the night. She ended in bed late, so she woke up late and was furious as she ran around trying to get ready and look her best for when she would be seeing Markus. She used spells to style her hair into a nice half-up do as she was running down to the Great Hall, smoothing out her robes as best she could, she slowed down when she got to the doors and did her best to look as though she had no care in the world as she walked in.  She was unaware her lips were still a little kiss swollen as she sat down on the end, proceeding to do make-up to hide the bags under her eyes.<br/><br/>“Evey?” The Ravenclaw from last night questioned as he cautiously walked towards her. She paused to look up at him over her little mirror. “Didn’t I break up with you yesterday?” she questioned before using a shooing motion “Go away, you know the rules. If I want this to continue in any way, I’ll find you.” She told him, looking back down to finish a few touch ups before putting it all away. He was still standing there awkwardly, looking unsure of himself as she ignored him completely and started dishing herself a basic breakfast while secretly scanning the Slytherin table for Markus. When she spotted her, she couldn’t tear her eyes away from her. “Who… Who has my ring?” she asked, turning to the girl beside her, her only and best friend. “I don’t know who you gave it to, you’ll just have to do that little trick of yours to get it back.” She was told, which made her roll her eyes and sigh. “New favourite?”<br/><br/>“I don’t know, I haven’t really gotten to know her yet.” She said, reaching for the pitcher of juice. She had poured a cup and took a small sip. “She’s a bit shorter than what I normally go for, but she’s got beautiful raven hair and some of the most beautiful eyes I have ever gazed into.” She said in a little daze as she watched Markus with careful eyes. Her friend snorted beside her and rolled her eyes “A Slytherin? Really? You’ve hardly gone near them, especially since we’ve joined NDA.”<br/><br/>“Can’t you just say DA?” she asked, shaking her head as she tore her eyes away from the Slytherin Beater to the girl beside her. “I could, but I like adding the New.” She told her with a smile, before nudging her. “So, which one are you looking at? You sound like you’ve actually got a bit of a crush.”<br/><br/>“Shush. It is not. And… She’s a Beater.” She told her softly, pulling her in a little closer so they shared space as she hitched her chin into the direction of where she was sitting. “Markus. She got all flustered last night after… After an incident and chased after me. It was adorable.” She said with a little smile of her own as they giggled softly before falling easily into conversation.
