love you too.
(Evan)
Evan found his father after hugging his friends goodbye. His father grabbed his trunk as Evan grabbed his owl cage and bag. They apparated to their mansion (The Rosier family had always been one of the more wealthy pureblood families.) He hugged his mother when he got home then his younger sister, Jean, who was starting Hogwarts next year. His father helped him carry his stuff up to his room. When he got upstairs he saw an owl sitting on his windowsill, Barty’s owl. He untied the letter on its leg and sat down on his bed to read it.
Dear Evan,
Just wanted you to know that I got home safe. I’m stuck with my father’s Christmas dinner with his work friends. I’ll write you if he does anything but I don’t think he will.
Either way I have to go.
Love you,
Barty
Evan’s entire body relax as he read that Barty was safe, then tensed again as he read the words “Love you.” on the parchment. His heart was beating so fast he could hear it in his head. He scanned over the letter again, and again. He decided he should probably write back. He sat down at his desk, grabbing a pen (they were much more efficient than quills) and some parchment.
Dear Barty,
So glad to hear that you are safe. If your dad tries anything (I don’t think he will either) I’ll personally come beat him up. I hope the dinner goes well, just try and eat enough.
Love you too,
Evan
He tied the letter to Barty’s owl and sent it back. He flopped down on his bed and thought about Barty’s letter, “Love you.” Replaying in his head. Half an hour later Jean came and got him for dinner. His parents sat at their family table waiting for Evan and Jean. Evan sat down at his usual seat.
“How’s school been? I hope you’re passing all of your classes.” His mother said looking at him sharply,
“Yes I’m passing all of my classes, my best is transfiguration but I also enjoy potions. It’s fun to hangout with my friends and we’ve been studying a lot for O.W.L.s” his mother nodded, seemingly happy with the answer,
“Who are your friends again? I can’t remember their names.” His father asked Evan.
“So there’s Regulus, Barty, Dorcas, and Pandora.”
“Ahh,” his father nodded “I remember Barty and Regulus.”
“How cool is school? What are the classes like? Ooh! Have been to any parties!?” Jean was looking at Evan intently, waiting for answers.
“Schools pretty cool, a lot of the teachers are super nice and students too, though some students are kinda jerks. Classes are fun and you get to choose them when you’re in 3rd year. Just make sure you have time to study. I went to a Halloween party in the Gryffindor common room since we were invited by Regulus’s brother and it was really fun, Gryffindor parties are always all out.” He smiled thinking about the party and how fun it was to go with his friends, and also how cute Barty looked in his onesie. His sister smacked him back to reality when she exclaimed.
“That’s so cool!” And started talking to their father about how excited she was for school. Evan went back to thinking about Barty. Barty and his dark brown hair and gorgeous brown eyes. How he was shy but fun to talk to. He was sweet to his friends but could bite back when Snape or Mulciber or Avery made fun of him. Evan remembered how one time when he, Barty and Regulus came across a 1st year Ravenclaw girl being bullied by Mulciber, Avery and Snape and Barty and Reg walked over to them, Reg punching Snape and Avery square in the face then Barty punching Mulciber. After the bullies ran away Reg picked up the girls books while Barty made sure she was ok and they walked her to the Great Hall to find her friends.
Evan was in deep, he was in love with Barty, and he didn’t know what to do he just hoped that Barty liked him too.
After dinner he went back upstairs to go to bed since he was absolutely exhausted. He changed into pajamas and got into bed, eventually falling into a peaceful dream.
Last day before they went back to school and Evan was lively. He was so excited to see Barty and all of his friends again, he couldn’t help being jittery. He was packing all of his stuff into his trunk when Barty’s owl appeared at the window. Oh no. Evan quickly untied the letter.
