"Why is that" Evelina asked in confusion as she looked at Alice, as she knew that Dominique and Roxanne were busy with their antics.
"He likes only red and golden for his sweater colour, it is also the colours of Gryffindor" Alice said as she chuckled in amusement at how big a fan James was of his house.
[GRYFFINDOR is one of the four houses in Hogwarts, other things about it will be revealed in the further chapter accordingly]
Evelina blinked in confusion at first but later she understood what Alice meant by mentioning them as the colours of Gryffindor.
"He seems to be big fan of his house" Evelina said as she chuckled in amusement.
"Don't get me started at it now" Dominique said in annoyance and frustration.
"To quote it 'He can live without oxygen but not Gryffindor' that is what his house is for him" Roxanne said as she sighed in frustration.
Grandma Molly chuckled at her granddaughters' frustration and annoyance for her grandson's love for his house.
"Grandma don't laugh you don't know how riled up James becomes if someone says something about Gryffindor, I doubt he would be riled up even for his own girlfriend" Dominique said as she sighed in exasperation and defeat.
"Trust me I know, even your fathers and uncles were like that. You would still remember how they reacted when your uncle Neville informed them that Albus was sorted into Slytherin" Grandma Molly said as she chuckled softly at the memory.
Evelina looked at Grandma Molly and then at the three girls who were nodded and chuckling in amusement as well.
"Let me tell you what happened, when Uncle Neville told father and other uncles, they didn't believe him and even fed him with Veritaserum" Alice said as she started chuckling and others giggled as well.
[VERITASERUM is a Potion/Liquid which makes the drinker speak nothing but the truth]
Evelina looked at Alice wide eyed and then looked at Grandma Molly for confirmation, the latter nodded in confirmation which flabbergasted Evelina.
"When he said that Albus was in Slytherin even under the Veritaserum everyone was shocked and dumbstruck but later everyone accepted it though it was a bitter medicine to swallow" Dominique said as she chuckled at the end.
"So it is true that even your Uncles and Fathers were also fans of their own houses, but now it is all in the fast. You kids really grow up quickly" Grandma Molly said with a tired sigh.
The girls giggled at the statement Grandma Molly made at the end but Evelina was the only one who caught the melancholy in her sigh.
She did not know much about what happened back in England but she knew that Grandma Molly missed someone very dearly but was hiding it to not make others around her upset.
"You kids continue, I will go back to work" Grandma Molly immediately brightened up and stood up. Her melancholy a moment back evaporated in thin air like there was none.
The girls nodded and then Grandma Molly went inside back to the kitchen to resume her pending work.
"Eva...well I hope it is fine with you if I address you that way" Roxanne asked hesitantly as she looked at Evelina nervously.
"Without any doubt" Evelina said as she smiled warmly towards the three girls whose faces immediately lightened up at her approval.
"So what were you saying" Evelina asked as she reminded Roxanne that she was about to ask her something.
"Oh right, I was asking that why do you suddenly planned to study in England, not that I mind because I am more than happy to get a friend like you" Roxanne said as she beamed Evelina a million dollar smile.
