Chapter Eight
The Escape and the Locket
Emmett POV
I was sat against the wall with Rose next to me. I leaned my cheek against her silky hair and hear her sigh. Alice was whimpering and trying to get attention from someone other than Jasper. She had been tortured for ten minutes straight. She says that it was as bad as Jane from the Volturi and that Bellatrix was crazy. I sighed and stared at the wall opposite me. Ollivander, the wand maker and David's uncle, was down in the cellar and was taken to see Voldemort the other day. He came back unconscious and bleeding. It took all of us to restrain Jasper as he was quite strong, even though we didn't have our vampire strength.
Narcissa was nice and brought us some blood, sneering at us whilst she did so. It seems that she was very much like her daughter as she seemed to like Rose who also liked the blonde witch. Our only visitor was a man named Wormtail who we figured out was the person who betrayed Harry's parents. He walked down the steps and walked into the cellar with our wands in his hands as he taunted us. He did this often. Would wave our wands in front of our faces and laugh at us before leaving. It seemed that a lot of people did that to him so he did it to us to make himself feel good. Pathetic traitor.
Wormtail walked in and smirked. I shuddered at his rats like face and turned to Jasper who was watching him with a calculative look in his eyes – one that I recognised from when we fought. Wormtail walked up to Edward who was muttering Evangeline's name over and over again.
"Awww! Poor little half breed!" He says spitting at Edward's feet as he glared at him. "Must be horrible knowing that little miss Malfoy is running about somewhere with Harry Potter! How can you compare to someone like..." He didn't finish as Jasper had tackled him, face first into the ground, snatched our wands and handed them to us. Alice was bouncing up and down saying that he was her hero. I rolled my eyes and crossed my eyes at Rose who giggled. Edward and Alice ran to the stairs whilst we stayed there.
"Guys! What about Ollivander?" I say to them as they give us back our speed and strength. They look at the sleeping old man in disgust.
"Leave him, he'll die soon enough!" They say as they run out of the house at vampire speed. I look at Rosalie and Jasper who shake their heads in disgust. I conjure a piece of paper and pen and look at them with a smile. I actually did it this time! I quickly wrote a note and ran out with Rosalie and Jasper, the note fluttering as we ran. The paper had only one word on it. Sorry.
Evangeline POV
One thing was running through my head when I awoke: my head hurts! I sat up and leaned my head on my hand as I look around. I was lying on a bed. I stood up and saw my bag at the floor near my feet. I open it and grab a pair of shorts and a cream lace blouse. I pick up my wand and walk out of the magically expanded tent. Ron's arm was in a sling but he looked relatively unharmed. Harry and Hermione were sending spells at something on the floor. I walked to Ron who smiled at me when he saw me. Harry and Hermione, however, were too occupied with each other. I notice Harry was putting the locket around his neck and walked off with Hermione somewhere. I glare at their backs and turn to Ron who turned to me.
"Where the hell are we? And what's happened since I was out? And why the hell was I unconscious?" I was almost shouting as my hair turned red: Ron tried to calm me.
"Shh Angel, bloody hell." He pulls me inside the tent and we sit at the long table that was there, on opposite sides like we did at Hogwarts. "Well I don't know where we are exactly, Harry and Hermione won't tell me." He scowls as he says that and I understand the feeling. "They were trying to destroy the locket but it hasn't worked. And when we arrived at Grimmauld Place, Yaxley had grabbed hold of Hermione and came with us so she grabbed us and apparated here. You landed on the floor quite hard and have been out of it ever since," I look at him and sigh as he pulls out a wireless radio and turns it on. I grab a book that I presumed was Hermione's and flipped through it. After an hour though I start getting bored and walk outside, wondering where Harry and Hermione were. Hermione was slightly in front of me and Harry was round the back of the tent. I walk round to him and he smiles at me, though distractedly as he stares at Hermione. I stop walking and he looks up at me.
"Hey Angel. Good to know you're finally up," He says and I could feel the tips of my blonde hair go red in my anger.
"I've been up for over an hour Harry." I say as he looks up at me in shock before chuckling.
"Must have been distracted." I laugh humourlessly.
"Of course you were. Distracted by Hermione. Sorry if you're getting bored with me." I say as I storm off and back into the tent and back to the bed I woke up on, ignoring Ron's questioning glance. I took a book from my bag and flip through it uninterestedly, before I notice my hair. Gone was the platinum blonde hair that showed my heritage and in its place was a dull red. I sigh, albeit a little angrily and walk back out to Ron as Harry and Hermione walk in. The locket was around Hermione's neck now and Harry was looking at me in caution as I glare at the radio Ron was listening to. Hermione looks at my red hair in question and flinches back when I gave her a Malfoy glare. She grabs Ron's wrist and they walk outside as Harry sits opposite me. He tries to take my hand and I pull it back as he groans softly.
"Don't start Angel," He says as I look up at him in shock and whilst I felt upset my hair didn't change colour at all. I turn from Harry and pick up a lock of my hair and concentrate on turning it green. It did nothing. I huff and let the lock go before turning back to Harry who was looking at my hair in sadness.
"Don't start? I'm sorry if you're losing interest in me Harry but I can guarantee I'm still in love with you. If you want to end it then that's it. We're done. I'm sure my family will find some pureblood idiot for me to marry," I spit at him with venom as he flinches back and looks at me with pain in his eyes.
"Angel. Do you really mean that?" He asks and I just stare at the table. He stands up and walks to sit next to me. "Do you really think I like Hermione like that?" I look up at him and shrug. "Evangeline Malfoy, look at me." I turn to him as he places his hands on my cheeks. "Hermione is like my sister. She doesn't hold a candle to you and whilst she might be pretty she can't compete with you. You're brave. You defied taking the mark which ended up with you being disowned – there aren't a lot of people who would do that. You're the prettiest girl in the whole school. Didn't you hear the guys – older and younger – talk about you as we walked past? Or when we were doing the DA – didn't you wonder why so many of them wanted to be your partner? But you only had eyes for me and I only have eyes for you." He says before taking a deep breath and standing up, pulling me with him. He puts his hands on my shoulders as he looks into my eyes. He picks up a lock of my hair and it turns its usual platinum blonde. He smiles and looks at me. "I didn't want to rush you but this seems the only way I can prove my commitment to you," He murmurs as he kisses my lips softly before getting on one knee. My breathing hitches as he takes my hands in his.
"Evangeline Lilith Narcissa Malfoy. I love you. I want to wake up to you every morning, and go to sleep with you every night. I want to grow old with you and die with you right next to me. I want to live a wonderfully long and happy life with you. Every day I spend with you is special, and I want that for the rest of my life. I want to make you happy in every way possible. You're the reason I wake up in the morning." He takes a deep breath. "Will you marry me?"
I look down at him and I can see his nervousness as I keep my face expressionless. It was easy with my years of practice. I kneel on the floor in front of him and take the ring box from his hand. It was a beautiful ring with an emerald heart that perfectly matched his eyes and a diamond heart underneath it. It was beautiful and expressive. I looked into his eyes and handed him the box back as his face falls and his eyes are filled with sadness.
"I never thought you would ask." I look up into his eyes and the spark returns. "Yes. Yes, Harry James Potter I will marry you," I say and look into his eyes. He puts the ring on and wraps his arms around me as he kisses me passionately, me returning the kiss enthusiastically. When oxygen becomes needed we separate and he leans his forehead against mine. "I love you," I say and he smiles.
"And I love you my Angel," I roll my eyes and hug him as he holds me to his chest. "I can't wait until all this is over. I can imagine everyone's faces when you turn up with a ring on your finger," He says with a lopsided smile as I laugh.
"That would be funny. And are you imagining Edward's face?" I laugh as he tries to look innocently, failing miserably.
"He'll probably break down or storm up to me and say "Evie's mine! How dare you twist her mind into loving you when everyone knows we belong together! Evie, my love, come to me and we'll run away into the night so we can be together forever." I laugh and he pulls me against his chest.
Later that night I was laid on the bed I awoke in earlier with Harry behind me, his arm around my waist and his nose in my hair. "You know," I say, my voice filling the silence we had fallen into. "You're probably right." I say referring to what he had said earlier. He chuckles and pulls me tighter against his chest. "But you're the only one I want to be with forever"
