14 I WILL SUPPORT HER....

Evelina also returned his smile and was a bit stunned when the boy engulfed her in a warm brotherly hug. She was glad that she gained another younger one to dote and protect.

"Tomorrow when you will be going to the burrow, you will be meeting Grandma Molly and Grandpa Arthur. They are the parents of these Uncle and Aunts of yours" Oliver said as he pointed towards the Weasley family.

Evelina nodded and smiled, she was already expecting another pair of grandparents who were warm and loving as only such people can give birth to such warm children.

"Let me introduce you to the Malfoy family. This is Draco and his wife Astoria, their only son Scorpius. He is in Third year of Hogwarts and is a Slytherin" Oliver said as he pointed towards three blonde heads.

Evelina smiled and nodded politely towards them, the latter three also returned her smile and nods politely but Astoria smiled in a warm motherly way.

"Now let me introduce you to a scholarly family, The Longbottom Family, this is Neville and wife Hannah. They are both professors at Hogwarts, Neville will be teaching you Herbology and Hannah will be teaching you Transfiguration" Oliver introduced Evelina to a friendly couple.

"Hello Professors, it is nice meeting you beforehand. I'll try my best to perform well in O.W.Ls this year" Evelina politely greeted them with a smile on her face.

Neville and Hannah were shocked at first whereas other elders were also amused. All the kids were simply speechless from her way of greeting.

"You are the only student who assured us about performing well in O.W.Ls, you are reminding me of Hermione back in the days of Hogwarts. She was the only one who was confident about performing well in O.W.Ls examination" Neville chuckled in amusement as he recalled those days.

Evelina simply smiled politely while keeping quiet, she was shocked with how easily the professors accepted that the students were not confident. Confidence was something instilled in Ilvermorny since year one and she was used to it but this was something shocking her a bit.

"Let's continue, this is their eldest daughter Alice. She is the same age as you and is a Gryffindor as well" Oliver introduced her to a girl who calmly smiled at her. Evelina a Alice exchanged polite smiled and greeting nods with each other.

Evelina found Alice calm and resolute, clear with her goals and cold in nature. She guessed it with just by the way she was calmly observing the surroundings without uttering a single word to others all along.

"This is their second and youngest daughter Augusta, she is in Third year of Hogwarts and is a Ravenclaw" Oliver introduced her to another girl who resembled the first one but was more towards the lively side to the cold one.

Evelina smiled towards the young teen, whereas Augusta also returned her smiled but was a cheerful and delighted one.

"Well we were also supposed to introduce you to the Scamander Family but they are delayed due to something. When they are here I will introduce you to them" Oliver said as he smiled and lightly patted Evelina's head making sure to not disturb her hairstyle.

"Okay Dad" Evelina smiled warmly as she agreed to his arrangement, it was thanks to her good memory or else she won't remember half of them the next time she meet them.

"Then let us proceed downstairs" Selena suggested quickly as she guided everyone downstairs.

All the adults followed her and Oliver downstairs, whereas the kids stayed behind waiting for the adults to leave first so that the stairs are not crowded.

"Eva, come let me take few beautiful pictures of you and post them on Instagram so that our friends back in France will burn with jealousy" Albert quickly dragged Evelina to a place with good lighting.

Evelina chuckled but let him drag her and take as many pictured of hers as he wants. Sam and Lauren chuckled as they were amused whereas other found it surprising as well.

"Albert, don't take pictures of hers and post it, remember she is backing away from all the social media platform for next few years" Sam reminded Albert of Evelina's resolution.

"Oh..right I completely forgot about it. Fine then as a friend I will support her completely" Albert said as he stopped taking pictures.

"Albert, how about you come over here and I introduce you to your cousins" Lauren called out to Albert as he waved him over near him.

Albert nodded and walked over to Lauren who was standing beside Victoire and Teddy. He beamed everyone a smiled and stood beside Lauren as he waited for him to start the informal introductions.

"I sincerely apologise for earlier" a cello voice came from behind Evelina, she turned around to find James standing behind her with a guilty expression on his face.

"It is fine, please don't feel guilty, I am completely alright and did not get hurt from the fall" Evelina quickly tried to reduce his guilt as she did not want him to feel guilty over something so small.

"I am relieved to hear that" James said as she smiled lightly, small dimples appeared on either side of his cheek making him look devilishly cute.

Evelina was stunned for a moment but quickly regained from it. She also politely smiled back at him and looked towards her brother to find them all chatting and giggling.

"We should go down as well, or else Mum or Dad will come back up to take us down" Evelina calmly suggested as she looked at her brother and then others.

"Right, let's go down and continue with it" Sam said as he quickly guided everyone downstairs.

Evelina, James and Teddy were last ones to exit the terrace. Evelina was carefully walking while making sure she doesn't miss a step or steps up on her own gown.

James and Teddy were also making sure that they don't step on her gown and were also ready to catch her in case she was to fall by accident.
