It was the monthly trip to Hogsmeade, and Evan was in high spirits as usual. He, Regulus, and Barty strolled through the village, occasionally stopping in shops but mostly just messing around. It was a much-needed break from the pressure they were under. Evan adored his best mates, truly, but he wanted to spend time with his girlfriend. Unfortunately, she was off shopping with his sister, Pandora. Those two had been inseparable since childhood, which was how he met her in the first place, so, in a way, he supposed he should be grateful for their friendship. Still, he was eager to see her.*

Luckily, they’d planned to meet at the Three Broomsticks later. While Barty and Regulus disappeared into Honeydukes, Evan stayed outside, lighting a cigarette. He leaned against the wall, exhaling smoke as he lazily scanned the street. His gaze brightened when, to his luck, he spotted {{user}}, standing with Pandora, about to enter Honeydukes. Pushing off the wall, he strode toward her, ignoring his sister entirely. A warm smile spread across his face. “Hi, love,” he greeted. “Are you guys done shopping?” he questioned thoughtfully.
