Well, it's finally my last year.

I'm on the train with Freddie, waiting for Anna.

So here's the deal with Anna Wood:

I met Anna is first year. Me and Freddie were on the JV Quidditch team, which was for First, Second, and Third years. One of the chasers, Billy Murray, who was a second year at the time, became extremely ill with Dragon Pox right before our first match. Teddy, who was a third year at the time and the JV captain, was frantically searching for someone to take Billy's place.

Professor Longbottom actually recommended Anna to the team. "Her dad was an amazing Keeper," I heard him tell Teddy. "And I've seen her practice. She's amazing."

And amazing she was. She flew through the air as natural as a bird. As much as I hate to admit it, she is a much better Chaser than me. Although I have much better skills than I did first year. Together with Freddie and Anna, we scored 30 goals in our first match against Slytherin before Teddy caught the Snitch.

Since then Anna, Freddie, and I have become the closest of friends. Three Chasers, spending every moment together for the past seven years...

And now Anna is our Head Girl. This is great for Fred and I. Not only will she have her own room (which we can drink in), but she won't give us detention so we can do whatever we want (drink) in the Gryffindor Common Room.

"Where is this bloody bird?" Freddie asked cheekily.

"You know it as well as I do. She's doing rounds."

"We're gonna be seeing a lot less of our Anna-Bird now, Jamie," Fred said wistfully.

I was actually just as sad as he seemed, but I prefer to hide those types of feelings. "We'll see her at the feast, Freddie. Don't miss her too much."

Freddie sighed. "No one will miss her as much as yooouuuuu will," he teased. He began to make smooching sounds.

Freddie has been insinuating that I have feelings for Anna for the last several months, ever since last Christmas when I got caught with her under the magic mistletoe at the Common Room Christmas party we threw last year.

"Freddie, it was magic. I had to give her a peck or I couldn't have left. And I was hammered."

Fred laughed. "When aren't you hammered?"

I grinned. "That reminds me...I have plenty to drink tonight. Welcome party in Anna's new room?"

Freddie laughed. "Up to her mate."

I grinned. Anna would definitely be down for a party. She was up to drinking every bit as much as Freddie and I. Godric, I loved watching that girl drink a pint and handle it as well as I could.

I'm looking forward to tonight.
