||Thank Goodness that he was free today! At least, for a few hours this morning. He had been grateful to get a Wednesday with only one class and it was after lunch, but he had not been able to stay asleep at all this morning, so, he had gotten up. Bella had been sleeping beside him, the once small black kitten had grown into a huge cat that was sleek and very graceful. She always slept with him at night and he loved her so much. He had laid in bed petting her most the morning until he finally rolled out of bed. He slept shirtless, but he did have his pants on and put on a white wife beater to head to the showers, which did not take long.

||He was out quick in the shower rooms and then he got dressed in casual clothes and grabbed his wand. He had hours to get ready for class, so he figured he could go down stairs and see a few of his friends who had some free time. As he went down the stairs, he stopped a few times to talk to a few friends, once to bad mouth a slytherin and then he continued. He was tired of people messing with his friends and family. He looked around one time and then entered the main area of the school. He saw girl studying and others were laughing and talking.

||He heard someone and turned to see her talking to a friend. She was a friend, beautiful beyond compared and he could not help but have a crush on her, but she was his friend. "Hey Marnie." He smiled at her, a charming smile he had used before on many others, but it was his genuine smile.

It had been a lazy day for Marnie as she had slept in for most of the morning. The only class she had on Wednesday had been cancelled due to a personal emergency for the professor, so she enjoyed sleeping in for once. After getting up, she was greeted by Felix, her grey and black tabby that she had adopted when he was a kitten two years previously. He was sitting next to her pillow, rubbing his head along the soft fabric and purring. Leaning over, she scratched his head lovingly. "Morning you little rascal," she said, watching him stretch out along her pillow as she sat up. She knew he was waiting for her to move since he had done this exact same thing from the time he was a kitten. "You are so spoiled! But I adore you nonetheless." She couldn't help but love the little guy she had come to call her own after finding him abandoned on the end of her street just before her fifth year at Hogwarts.

After finally getting up, Marnie went to shower before drying her hair and brushing it out. Thankfully her long locks decided to work with her and she didn't have too many fly away hairs to smooth down. Once she was done with that and dressed in some casual clothes, she went down from the Ravenclaw tower to the Entrance Hall, greeting a few of her friends from the same house on the way down. Since she was a seventh year, Marnie knew a lot of the younger kids as well as those in her year, so it was nice to see them from time to time. When she reached the Entrance Hall, she saw some other friends she hadn't seen since the weekend, so she went over and started talking to them. It wasn't long until she heard a familiar voice and turned to see Evander standing there, saying hello to her. She could see his genuine smile and knew that he was in a good mood today. "Hi Evander," she said, smiling back at him while brushing some of her hair behind her ear. Evander was a sweetheart that she had grown to like a lot over the past few years, though she would never tell anyone. Their friendship had sprung a little more than a crush for her. "Are you heading into lunch?" she asked, looking into his eyes.

||When he had entered the hall, he did notice something different then normal… More students were there this morning and that was not normal. As he walked, he asked around some and finally found out that a class had been cancelled and he nodded, finding out that it was the same one he would have after lunch. He was excited… A off day a few days before the weekend, but that did mean that next week, they would have more homework, but he would probably get it done when he could. He was happy to see many of his friends from his house, laughing and a few planning a good ol’ prank for the ladies of Slytherin. He had to walk away from that one, he had already gotten detention once for one of those, so he would stick with a normal prank on the guys.

||But he could always just surprise them like he did not many of occasions, that was fun too. He looked around some and then stopped when he saw Marnie talking to some friends. He was excited to see her and as he approached he heard some laughter here and there. He said hey and smiled when she turned to see him. ”Hi Evander.” He watched as her friends smiled at him slightly and he waved to them, but they moved on to other friends. It was a normal thing. ”Class cancelled?” He knew she had the same class he did, but a few hours earlier. Marnie was a beautiful girl and one of his best friends, he had to say it. ”Are you heading into lunch?” He was just realizing it was getting close to that time and his nose went into the air.

||”Yea, now that you mention it… Want to join me?”

[/b] Not many set at different tables, but when they did, they were at the ends and he did not mind sitting her in the middle with him. He saw a few people going in and then some coming out. Lunch last for a while, so he knew he had time. It was as if the Great Hall knew when everyone had eaten and knew when others were coming, it was amazing. It was cool and he looked at her for a moment. ”So, what are you planning for today?”

There was something about Evander that just made Marnie happy when she was around him. He had an outgoing personality and sweet demeanor that she couldn't help but love when they were together. She knew his family history, but didn't judge him for that because he was different than the man that was his father. Evander was nothing like Greyback and Marnie knew that from what she had heard about the man who was a Death Eater currently rotting in Azkaban. When Evander asked if class was cancelled, she nodded and smiled. Getting a class cancelled at Hogwarts was like finding a pile of gold stashed away in your laundry. It was rare and hardly ever happened, but when it did, everyone was excited and happy to have their morning or afternoon off. As he said that he was heading into lunch and invited her to join him, she smiled. "I'd love to," she said, looking into his eyes. Even though houses didn't usually mix seating, sometimes other kids had friends in other houses that they wanted to sit with, so no one usually made a big deal of it if it was houses like Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw.

Walking into the Great Hall, Marnie saw that there was still plenty of food waiting. Magic was amazing in that way since things would never run out. It was as though the Great Hall knew exactly what was needed for everyone that was coming in and out for meals, so they never ran low or closed up shop until everyone who wanted to eat had been given the opportunity to. Hearing Evander's question, she sat down on the end of the Gryffindor table and looked at him. "I was thinking about walking around the grounds for a while since the snow outside is fresh...I like it when it's just fallen," she replied, blushing a light shade of pink. Snow was one thing that Marnie really liked since it was beautiful and light, like a gift from above. It didn't hurt when it hit you and you could make snow angels out of it. "I was also thinking about doing some studying later, but that can wait. What about you?" Marnie was slightly embarrassed that she felt so flush around him. They had been friends long enough for her not to feel this way, but there was just something about Evander.

||Evander had no idea what it was about Marnie… She was sweet, caring, one of his best friends and when he was around her… Ahh, it made it day brighten up so quickly. He could not help but feel excited when he was around her, could not help but have this urge to protect her and take care of her. He did not know why, but he always seemed to want to take care of her and as he stood here, he found himself looking around for those who would hurt her. He did not know where the instinct came from, but wherever it came from, he would just ignore it for the time being.

||Everyone knew his family history, knew his mother was a death eater and his father, though, not a death eater, because the man who ran the group did not like tainted blood, still worked for the man. It was disgraceful in his own thoughts, but Evander had made a pack with himself that he would make a new name for his family and that meant protecting his family and those who he cared about. Marnie was one of those who did not care about his past and for that, he was grateful. He wished he could kill his father for his own stupidity, but it would never happen. He was rotting in Azkaban and it was where he belonged.

||He smiled when she nodded and he could not help but rub his feet long the ground. Something about her always made his heart thump within’ his chest and he was surprised she could not hear it. He knew it was a rare thing to have a class cancelled, but when it happened, he loved it, more then anything he could think of, besides his friends. He then figured it would go nicely to invite her to lunch with him. He saw her smile and his heart thumped a bit harder in his chest. ”I'd love to," He smiled and nodded his head. Letting out a breath that he didn’t even know he was holding. He rubbed the back of his head and they headed inside the Great Hall.

||He waved to a few friends and then set down at the table. The room was not crowded, never was, but it was nice to see faces. Some of the student were possible studying or finding a way to spend the day now that a class had been cancelled. It was so nice to have a class taken away from the day, though, it did mean extra work. He looked at the food and smiled, grabbing a plate and filling it. He did not know what he would do throughout the day, but he figured he would find something. ”I was thinking about walking around the grounds for a while since the snow outside is fresh...I like it when it's just fallen," He smiled, thanking her mentally. ”Yeah, it is nice when it is fresh… Mine if I join you?” He asked with a smile and looked over at her with a big smile. He hoped she did not mind, did not think she would mind much. ”I was also thinking about doing some studying later, but that can wait. What about you?" He smiled again and shrugged. ”I don’t know… I normally hold off until last minute, which is normally when I come to you for help.” She knew this and he knew what would come next… A push against the arm, a punch in the shoulder, a little bit of laughter… He did not care, he would not get mad, just laugh. He could never get mad at Marnie.
