7 GRANNY....

"This shows that you two share thought which are alike, maybe people who involve themselves deeply in such laws from a young age think the same way" Oliver said as he shrugged and sighed helplessly, he earned a glare and chuckle from Harry whereas Evelina chose to keep quiet.

"It is better if you don't compare me with Evelina, at her age I broke all the laws I could remember let alone suggesting a solution which was flawless and strictly bided the laws" Harry said in a disapproving tone as he looked at Oliver.

Oliver chuckled at his claim, whereas Evelina frowned. She looked at Harry and then at Oliver, clearly wanting to state something.

"Looks like you have something to say about Harry's claim" Oliver asked in a laid back tone, he looked at Evelina and Harry casually. Whereas Harry also nodded indicating her to tell her statement.

"Well....I am very thankful that you two accepted my proposed solution but calling it flawless would be an overstatement because I know it has many flaws which can pose potential threat to this case" Evelina said in a respectful tone as she sincerely confessed her thoughts calmly.

Harry was left speechless by the way the girl was confident that it had flaws and yet he could not figure out any. He looked at Oliver for help but the latter looked equally confused and speechless, they looked at Evelina as they were lost for words.

"Rose....Dear even though there might be some flaws, they are definitely minor enough to pose any threat and this solution is better than the one Harry proposed which was the best one till now" Oliver said in a diplomatic tone, his tone the way an official would speak with a fellow official.

Evelina's turquoise eyes travelled from her father to Harry and then back to her father, she understood that they were unable to find the flaws and were ashamed to accept it. She also decided to not reveal them casually and smiled politely.

"Even though you both feel that way, I am not satisfied with myself. How about after the banquet tonight, I draft another one with less flaws and give it to you" Evelina requested politely.

"That should be fine, if that is what you want. Now go and quickly pack for the burrow after that enjoy the remaining hours. After lunch your mum will start pestering you to get ready for the night" Oliver agreed to her and ushered her to continue with her work at hand.

Evelina smiled and nodded as she elegantly stood up. She nodded at Harry politely and then smiled at father as she left to return to her room.

"Evelina is so sensible and intelligent at this age itself but why do I feel like she is not very expressive. All the the time she calmly listened and participated when needed while smiling politely here and there, is it my illusion or is it true" Harry asked Oliver in an unsure tone.

"It is true, she is hardly expressive. She was not like this at first, before she went to France he used to be lively and straightforward but after going to France she changed completely. What triggered it is something between her and Selena's mother" Oliver sighed defeatedly.

"I understand how you are feeling, James is also the same. He has his guard up all the time, never relaxing around anyone. Even though I don't expect but others expect him to be like me, which has put him under a lot of pressure as well" Harry sighed regretfully.

"I am asking Sam and Lauren to take her to the burrow in hopes that she might find someone whom she can trust her emotions with. In France there was one who was a bit close to her, the descendant of Frostier Family, Albert Frostier" Oliver said as he sighed at the memory of the boy.

"At first I thought James might be able to confide with one of his cousins but he took their safety as his responsibility and has started to keep them in dark as well after that incident" Harry sighed, uncertainty clear in his eyes.

"I realised it now that these two kids are torturing themselves for others around them" Oliver sighed at the realisation, he never wanted either of them to suffer the way they are and yet he could to nothing when they are.

"It is said that to shine like the sun we need to burn like it, looks like these two are doing it and without any doubt they will shine the way as well. I can't wait to see how James and Evelina will get along with their polar personalities" Harry said in a hopeful and jovial tone tone.

Oliver nodded in agreement as he looked in the direction of the door which led to Evelina's room, he sighed and smiled as he and Harry continued with the work they were supposed to handle that afternoon.

/////////// INSIDE EVELINA'S ROOM ///////////

Evelina entered back her room to find her mobile ringing, she rushed to the bedside table and looked at the caller id. She connected the call immediately and a beautiful smiled bloomed on her face.

"Rose greets her Granny" Evelina said in a delighted and enthusiastic tone. Her eyes sparkled up with excitement and happiness was evident on her glowing face.

"Happy Birthday Honey.....I wish you a year of happiness and laughter along with health, wisdom and wealth" Granny wished in a old yet powerful tone.

"Thank You Granny, now I feel like it is my birthday. A birthday without your blessing and wishes is definitely not delightful enough as it is now. Evelina misses you a lot Granny" Evelina said in a calm tone but it held a hint of sulkiness in it.

"Darling, you can come over to me during holidays. You remember what I told you right, completely finish it and come over here to your Granny quickly" Granny said in a warm and motherly tone.
