A Twisted Relationship
Anne was in the library of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was a fifth year in the Gryffidor house.
She was in the library that Friday afternoon picking up books for her three best friends, Harry, Ron, and Hermione. They had
asked her to pick up some of their books becuase they all had a potions test tommorrow, with their least favorite teacher,
Professor Snape. She just checked out the books and was walking down the hall when another 5th year from the Slytherin house
came up beside her. It was Draco Malfoy. Draco is known for being really mean, and a jerk, he as mean to all of her friends
,but what was really weird was that he was not mean to her. He came up to her and said hi, and she said hello. She was not
in much of a mood to talk becuase she was carrying a bunch of books and didn't want to trip.
"Do you want some help?" he asked.
"Well...yah ok sure, thanks" she said.
He took half of her books and carried them to the gryffidor portrait.
"Thanks so much" she said.
"No problem, see you later" he said.
She waited until he was about halfway down the corridor until she told the fat lady the password. She didn't want him to
accidently overhear. She had this weird feeling, like she kind of liked him, which was totally crazy becuase she was in
Gryffidor, and he was in Slytherin, these two houses definitly didn't get along!
The next day she stepped out of the portrait, and their was Draco standing there with a blood red rose. She smiled,
still thinking this was crazy, and took the rose.
"Good Morning to you too" she said smiling.
"A beautiful rose for a beautiful girl, I came to walk you down to potions" he said.
"Wonderful" she beamed.
They went walking toward the dungeons when they heard a yell.
"What is going on?" asked a frenzied Ron.
"Um...ah...sorry I didn't wait, but I..." she stammered.
"Um...that's ok, we'll catch up with you later then...bye" said a confused Hermione.
Draco and she walked off down the corridor. She felt a little bad leaving her friends like that, but she didn't want to hurt
Draco's feelings either. They went to potions class. Yesterday they were partnered up for a project so they just sat by
each other. They did their project, and after Draco walked hr back to the Gryffidor potrait. The next day, there was Draco
again with a flower, this time a carnation.
"Thanks" she said.
'Your welcome' he said.
They walked slowly down to potions that day.
"So, um I heard this rumor that you were going out with Harry?" Draco asked.
"No, I am not going out with Harry, or Ron, or anyone for that matter" she said.
"Well then, I was just wondering, I mean I know we just started talking for a little while but...I was wondering if you
wanted to go out with me, like be my girlfriend?" he asked quietly.
She took a deep breath, she really wanted to say yes, but a Gryffidor and a Slytherin? Will that work?
"Ok Draco, yes, I will go out with you" she said smiling.
They both blushed and walked off to class. When she returned to teh gryffifor tower, she was surprised to see Harry, Ron,
and Hermione standing their angerly.
"Um...hello everyone...um...what's going on????" she said a little flustered.
"You know very well what is going on" said and angry Ron.
"I do?" she said walking past them.
They would not let her leave that easily.
"Come on, we are your best friends, tell us what's going on with you and him" said Harry.
"I have to go to..um to...the library...ya...okay bye everyone" she said trying to escape the question.
"Oh no you don't" said Ron blocking the door.
"Ok, ok then...he...he...he asked me out?!?" she said finally.
Everyone looked amazingly surprised!
"And what did you say?" asked Hermione quietly.
"I said...I said yes" she said quietly.
Everyone burst out talking at once.
"What! How could you do that!" screamed Ron.
"But, he's a Slytherin" said Harry.
"I am happy for you, but he is a Slytherin" said Hermione.
"Yes, I know everyone, but I like him, and he likes me, please if you were my friends you wouldn't hate me for this" she
pleaded.
"Okay, I'm happy for you" said Harry and Hermione .
"Ya, ok" said Ron.
"Thank you guys, thanks for being my friends" she said.
Everything went the same for about two weeks. She walked on day with Draco and one day with her other friends becuause they
would not walk together. One day Draco and she were wallking down to the dungeons for potions. They had another potions
project and got put together again. They were sitting working on their project and holding hands under the table. She
giggled at a joke that Draco just told her, and Professor Snape heard and came stalking over.
"What is going on here?" Snape asked noticing them holding hands.
"Um...well...we are" she tried explaining but she couldn't.
"Okay then, Draco you go sit with Crabbe and Goyle, and you you sit with Harry, Ron, and Hermione he said to Anne. And to
think Draco, sinking low enough to date a Gryffidor...Tut Tut" said Snape greasily.
She went to sit by her friends, and starting thinking about what Snape had said. What if it was only a joke? What is
someone bet Draco to go out with her? She definitly had to think about this. She started avoiding Draco that week. He
didn't get it, but then again he didn't know what she was thinking. One day Draco pulled her into an empty classroom.
"What do you want, we are over don't you get it!" she said angrly.
"What is wrong with you? You have been acting weird all week" he asked.
"I know" she said, "I konw this was proabably all a set-up, that someone bet you to go out with me"
"No" he said.
"Yes" she said, "I should have known with you family history. your father proabably being a death eater and all"
"Ok, ok listen" he said, "this is not a set-up, I really do like you. I also have something to tell you, my father IS a
death eater"
She whipped out her wand and pointed it straight at Draco's chest.
"I knew it, and you are to right?" she snapped.
"No, I am not" he said, "my father wanted me to be, but I didn't want to be part of THAT crowd"
"OHMYGOD, I am so sorry" she started to cry, how could she have been so horrible?
"It's ok, really it is" he said holding her.
They kissed for the 1st time that night.
For a few more weeks everything was okay again. Anne and Draco would walk down the corridor holding hands. They
would get weird looks from different houses, but they ddin't even care. An announcement came saying: Will everyone please
return to their classrooms and will the teachers come to the staffroom. Anne and Draco exchanged glances. Anne was looking
fearful.
"Don't worry, I'm sure it's proabably nothing" said Draco calmly.
"I really hope you are sure" Anne said.
"Draco kissed Anne on the cheek and left toward the Slytherin house. Ane turned slightly scared toward the Gryffidor house.
She caught up with her friends.
"Let's check out what is going on" said Anne.
"Okay" said Anne.
"Let's go" said Ron and Hermione.
They all started creeping down the hall, hoping not to get caught. Harry was using his Marauder's Map to make sure everyone
was in their houses, or that the teachers were in the staff room. After they made sure all was clear they used invisibility
cloaks to sneak to the staff room. Harry and Ron under Harry's, and Hermione and Anne under Anne's. When they made it
outside the staff room, they heard voices.
"The unicorns are on a rampage" said Professor Dumbledore.
"what would make them do that?" asked Professor McGonagall.
"I don't know" said Professor Flitwick.
"There must be a spell or something" said Snape.
"Yes, well they are on the grounds of Hogwarts, so we have to keep the students inside" said Professor Dumbledore.
"What about Hagrid?" asked Professor McGonagall.
"He's ok, he already said that" said Professor Dumbledore.
"Ok then, this meeting is over. We will make the announcement soon"
"OHMYGOD, what will happen if those unicorns attack Hagrid's house?" asked Hermione.
"Ya, but Dumbledore said he was okay" said Ron.
"Hermione is right, they could knock over his house or something" said Harry.
"Maybe we can get past them with invisibililty cloaks" Anne said.
"Maybe, then we could go see him" said Hermione.
"Ok, let's go tomorrow" said Ron.
"Okay" agreed everyone.
There was an announcement later than night, addressed to all students, not to go outside for anything. No one knew
what was going on except for Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Anne. Anne wanted to tell Draco but they made her promise not to tell
anyone. She finally agreed and said she would not tell. That night they snuck out of the castle under the two invisibility
cloaks. There were unicorns everywhere. All of them acting crazy, running around, running into each other, it was the
strangest sight to see. They all stuck to the right and ran all the way to Hagrid's house. Hary knocked on the door three
times.
"Who's that? Who's there?" came a gruff voice.
"It's us Hagrid, let us in before we get trampled by unicorns" came Hermione's voice.
"Please Hagrid hurry" said Anne.
"Come in, come in, hurry" said Hagrid.
"Thanks" said Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Anne.
"I'll be making tea then" said Hagrid.
Everyone removed their cloaks.
"It's really crazy out their Hagrid" said Ron.
"What is wrong with them" asked Hermione.
"I don't rightly know, seems like a spell or something" said Hagrid still making tea.
"Maybe it was Malfoy" said Ron eagerly.
"No! Ron I told you not to accuse him" said Anne.
"Not him, his father" said Ron.
"I have never heard you be so defensive about Draco before Anne" said Hagrid gruffly.
"I...I..." stammered Anne.
No on told Hagrid that Anne and Draco were going out.
"What is going on?" asked Hagrid.
"Draco and Anne are going out" said Ron.
"RON!" said Harry, Hermione, and Anne.
"Well, it's true" said Ron.
"Is it true Anne, but he's he's a..." stammered Hagrid.
"Yes I know, I know, a Slytherin, but I really like him, and he really likes me" said Anne.
"Okay then Anne it's your choice" said Hagrid.
"I have to tell you something about Lucius everyone" said Anne.
"What?" everyone asked.
"Well, Draco said that his father is a death-eater and..." said Anne.
Harry, Hermione, and Ron jumped up, and Hagrid dropped his cup of tea.
"What?!?" everyone yelled at once.
"He must be then" yelled Harry and Ron together.
"No" said Anne.
"No way" said Hermione and Hagrid together.
"It's ok really. He's not a death-eater. He does not want to be part of THAT crowd" yelled Anne over the rush of voices.
"How can you trust him?" asked Ron.
"I just CAN Ron, I know him, and I trust him with my life" said Anne.
"Ok ok so everyone stop freaking out! I trust Anne, if she says Draco isn't a death-eater then he isn't" said Hermione.
"Thank You" said Anne.
"Well, it's getting late everyone better get back" said Hagrid, "be careful on the way back to the castle, and Anne come
here a minute"
"Yes Hagrid?" asked Anne.
"Be careful with Lucius' son okay?" asked Hagrid.
"Ok Hagrid, I promise, see you later" Anne said giving Hagrid a hug and leaving.
They all got under their cloaks and left. They had to watch out for the charging, crazed unicorns. Ron tripped and fell
away from the cloak.
"OWWW" he said, "I twisted my ankle"
"RON!" shouted Hermoine, "Run!"
Ron turned to see about one hundered crazed unicorns running toward him.
"AHHHHHHHHH" he shouted.
Ron could barley run. Anne jumped out from under her cloak and ran to help him.
"Come on Ron let's go" she said.
"Hurry up you two" shouted Hermione.
Anne helped Ron up and they ran back to the cloaks.
"Hermione, go under Harry's cloak so I can help Ron"
"Okay, everyone run toward the school" she said.
Everyone ran ask fast and they could toward the school steps. They all bounded up them as fast as they could.
"Okay, shhhhhhh now" said Harry.
"OW" said Ron.
"It's ok Ron, just limp" said Anne.
"They got to the fat lady portrait, and gave her the password, fizzybubbly, and went inside. They threw off their cloaks and
Anne helped the limping Ron to sit on a chair in front of the fire.
"Let me see your ankle Ron" said Hermione.
Ron's ankle was swollen. Hermione took out her wand and pointed it at Ron's ankle.
"Exspectus Modumer" whispered Hermione.
"Wow! That's better" said Ron, "Thanks Hermione"
"Ok, now let's go to bed" said Harry.
"OH NO!" said Anne.
"What! What is it?" asked Harry.
"Draco. I...I was supposed to meet him an hour ago" said Anne.
"I'm sure he will understand" said Hermione, "Let's just all go to bed"
"Okay" said Anne, "I sure hope you are right"
They all went to bed. They boys to the boys dormitory and the girls to the girls dormitory. The next morning Anne got up
early and went walking down the halls. She went to the Slytherin common room, and found the slytherin ghost, the Bloody
Baron, in the hallway.
"Excuse me, Mr. Baron" asked Anne.
"YYYEEESSS" he moaned.
"Will you do me a favor and go tell Draco to come out, It's Anne." she said.
"OOOKKKKKK" he moaned.
With that he floated through the wall and Anne waited. About two minutes later, Draco came out.
"What...what time is it" he yawned.
"Oh, I'm sorry Draco. I didn't know it as that early but I wanted to talk to you" she said.
"It's ok really, just I have to get dressed first" he said, "come in, I don't think anyone is up yet so you can come in"
"Okay" she said a little Apprehensively.
"She entered the Slytherin common room.
"Have a seat" he said, "I'll be down in a few minutes"
She sat down on a couch, and looked around the room. When she was looking around three Slytherin girls came into the common
room and stopped. Anne turned, and there they were staring at her.
"Who are you" they asked.
"I am Anne, a fifth year from Gryffidor, who are you?" she asked.
"We are Pantsy, Jenny, and Lisa from Slytherin" they said, "What is a gryffidor doing in the Slytherin house? how did you get
in?"
They all had their wands out, and Anne got hers out too.
"Explain now, or pay" Patsy said.
"Uh...well you see its like this..." Anne studdered.
Anne didn't know what to do it was three against one. What chance did she have? Then came a voice.
"Expelliarmus, Expelliarmus, Expelliarmus" yelled Draco.
All three girl wands flew through the air and were caught by Draco.
"Don't even think about it, if you hurt one hair on her..." he threatened.
"Well then tell us who this is" Jenny said.
"This is my girlfriend, Anne, from Gryffidor" he said calmly.
"How did she get in here? She'll contaminate it" Lisa said,. her face with a disgusted look.
"I let her in, we were just about to go for an early morning walk" he said, "now if you don't mind we have to leave.
Good Bye."
"Whatever, we just want our wands back" they said.
Draco threw back their wands and they went to bed.
"Come on, let's go" he said.
"Okay" said Anne a little shaken.
They started out into the corridor when Anne started up.
"I am sooooooooooooooooooo sorry Draco" she said, "I know that we were supposed to meet but..."
"Shhhhhhhhhh" he said comfortingly, "It's okay, really, I knew something must have come up"
"We went to see Hagrid" she said, "And then Ron twisted his ankle"
"Is he okay?" Draco asked.
"Um...Draco...I have to ask you something" she said quietly.
"Ya? What's going on?" he said puttin his arm around her.
"Well, your are always mean to my friends, but not to me. If you are mean to my friends, you are mean to me and..." she
tried to explain.
"Oh, ok listen I'm sorry, I doin't try its just how my father brought me up" he said, "I will go apologise right now if you
want"
"Okay, thank you so much"
They kissed right there in the hall and then came Flinch's cat, they laughed and ran all the way up to the Gryffidor tower.
"Come on" she said, "Come in with me"
They walked in together holding hands, Anne leaning against Draco. It was kind of early but she knew that her friends would
be up. They are always up early, she just hoped no one else would be up. They walked in and saw three very surprised
faces.
"Um...hi everyone...you know Draco" she tried.
"Good morning" said Hermione, a little confused.
Ron and Harry were fuming. Anne saw it in their faces.
"Chill guys, it's ok" she said "I know I shouldn't bring him in here, but I made sure he didn't hear the password"
"Really, I didn't come in here to fight" Draco said.
"Ok, but will you two please not hold hands in front of us?" Ron asked.
"Oh, ok" said Anne a little flustered.
Draco and Anne stepped apart. Anne felt lonley already.
"Well, Draco has something to tell you all" Anne said, "So please listen, as my friends, please"
"Okay" said Harry, "what?"
"Well, I would like to apologise about how mean I was to you. It;s just that was the way I was brought up. My father is
well...kind of..." he said.
"WE know....we know your father is a death-eater" Hermione said.
"Then, do you know that I'm not?" he asked.
"Yes, we trust Anne, but let's see your arms" said Harry.
Draco showed them both his arms, and they had nothing on them.
"Okay then" Harry said.
Anne had been quiet the whole time.
"Do you forgive him?" she asked, "Please"
"Yes" said Hermoine.
"Yes" said Harry.
"Okay" said Ron.
Anne went and hugged her three best friends.
"Thank you" she said, almost crying, "Thank you so much"
"Ya" they said.
"Ron, can I go hug Draco now" she said kiddingly.
"Yes, I'm sorry" said a little embarressed Ron.
"That's okay Ron" Anne said.
She ran over and hugged Draco.
"We better get out of here before anyone else wakes up" Anne said Laughing.
"Ya, your right" Draco said, "Thanks everyone"
"Ya, bye" they called as Draco and Anne climbed out of the portrait hole.
Right after they climbed out Professor McGonagall walked by.
"what is going on here? Anne...Draco?" she asked, "Why were you two in the Gryffidor tower?"
"I...he had to apologise to my friends and..." Anne started.
"That's nice but he shouldn't of been in there" she said, "Does he know the password?"
"No Ma'am, I don't" Draco said.
"I will pretend I didn't see this becuase he doesn't know the password but his better not happen again" she threatened.
"Yes ma'am" they said together.
After Professor McGonagall left they both started laughing.
"That was way to close" Anne said.
"Ya, way to close" Draco said, "If it was Snape we would have detention right now"
There was a quick announcement that the grounds were safe again, so the students could go outside again. They went down to
the lake together, the sun was just coming up.
"It's so beautiful" Anne said and moved closer to Draco.
"Ya, it is" he said puttin his arm around her.
They sat like that for a half and hour, Anne's hear resting on Draco's shoulder.
"We better go, it's almost time for breakfast" Anne said.
"Ya, you're right" Draco said.
They kissed again right before breakfast.
"That was sweeter than breakfast" Anne said smiling.
"Yes, It most defintitly was" Draco said.
They walked down to breakfast hand in hand. They didn't want to part, but went to their seperate tables. THey ate and then
walked to Tranfiguration together. That day they were transforming pillows into ducks. They had partners and Anne and Draco
were together. Anne was sure that Professor McGonagall winked at her when she said:
"Draco and Anne, you two will be together"The
They changed their pillows into ducks and back many many times. It was easier when they were together. They Quidditch
season had started again. Anne was a seeker and so was Draco. They had agreed to play against each other just as they
would anyone else. No special treatment, but they would meet after the game. The first Quidditch game was the naext day,
Gryffidor v.s. Slytherin. Draco and Anne met before the game, kissed for good luck, and went off to change into their
Quidditch robes.
The game started and all went well for a while about an hour into the game Slytherin and Gryffidor were tied 50
points to 50 points. Neither Anne or Draco had seen the snitch. Then there it was flying twenty feet about Angelina Johnson
of Gryffidor. Anne took off as fast as she could go with Draco at her heels. The snitch was speeding all over the field.
Anne and Draco were chasing it quickly. Anne was closer and was reaching, reaching she fiinally snatched it up and did a
victory lap around the field. The Gryffidor side was cheering. Draco came up beside her and kissed her on the cheek.
"Good catch, and nice riding" he said smiling.
"Nice kiss, and nice riding" she said smiling also.
They landed together, and went their seperate ways to shower and change. They did not see Patsy talking to Professor
Dumbledore, and didn't know they would be in trouble in a little while. After they showered and changed they met up with
each other and wre walking down the corridor when they were stopped by Professor McGonagall.
"You two come with me" she said.
"But Professor" Anne asked "what did we do"
"Just come with me" she said.
Anne and Draco exchanged glances with each other, and walked with Professor McGonagall to the gargoyle staute.
"Coachroach Cluster" she said.
The stairs were winding up.
"Go, the headmaster will be waiting for you" she said.
Again, they exchanged glances but they went up the stairs. They walked into the headmaster's office, and saw the pictures
of old headmasters and the sorting hat. The headmaster was sitting at his desk.
"Excuse me Professor" Anne said, "Professor McGonagall asked us to come up"
"Yes, come and sit down" he said.
"I'm sorry, but we don't know why were are here" Draco said.
"I have been having some complaints latley" he said slowly, "about you two"
"About us sir" Anne said, "Do you mean that we are going out, and playing against each other for Quidditch"
"Yes, that is percisly it" he said.
"Well sir, if I may speak, we have already worked that out" Draco said.
"Have you then" the headmaster said.
"Yes sir, we may be going out, but that does not affect Quidditch" Anne said, "We said that we would play against each other
just as if we were playing against anyone else"
"Oh I see, well then we have nothing else to discuss then" he said, "Thank you for your time"
"Thank you sir" they both said.
They left and went down the corridor.
"Wow! That was close" Draco said.
"Ya, but I wonder who complained about us?" Anne said.
"I don't know, ut I hope it wasn't any of our friends" he said.
"Proabably not" she said.
"Ya, our friends would not do that" she said, "I better go"
"Okay bye" he said kissing her on the cheek.
Anne walked back to the Gryffidor tower still thinking about who complained about them. She decided to ask her
friends. She got to the portrait.
"Fizzybubbly" she said to the Fat lady.
The portrait swung open and she walked inside. There she found her friends sitting at a table working on their homework.
"Hey guys, I need to talk to you okay?" she said.
"Sure, what's going on?" Hermione asked.
"Well, Draco and I were just meeting with the headmaster because someone complained about going out and still playing
against each other in Quidditch" she said, "Who would do that?"
"Well, I can't believe someone acually did that" Harry said.
"It must have been a Slytherin" said Ron snickering.
"Wait!" Harry said, "I saw Pansy Parkinson talking to the headmaster after today's Quidditch match!"
"Oh ya, I heard her say something to her friends about complaining about Draco" said Hermione.
"I have to go tell Draco!" Anne said, "Thanks guys, you are such a big help"
"Bye" they said.
Anne walked down the corridor toward the Gryffidor tower. She really need to talk to Draco. She got to the
portrait. She knew the password but didn't use it. She couldn't just walk into the Slytherin common room! She saw Peeves
coming bouncing up and down the corridor.
"Hey Peeves, come here quick" Anne said.
"What do youuuuu want?" asked Peeves.
"If you go and get Draco, I'll tell you a really good joke to play on Professor Snape!" she said.
"And who do I say wants to see him?" asked Peeves.
"Tell him it's Anne" she said.
"Are you his girlfriend?!?" he asked teasingly.
She sighed.
"Yes Peeves" she said, "I am his girlfriend, now go"
"Okay" he said.
He flew into the Slytherin tower singing:
"Anne and Draco sitting in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G"
Anne rolled her eyes, at least he went, now she had to think of a good joke. Draco came out.
"Oh hi" he said smiling.
"JOKE! JOKE!" sang Peeves.
"Okay, Okay Peeves listen" she said, "you...um...you take some invisible applesause and put it outside Snape's office, and
knock, then hide and he'll come out and slip"
"HA HA HA" sang Peeves floating toward the kitchens.
"Can we go walking?" Anne asked.
"Sure, let's go" said Draco puttin his arm around her.
"I know who complained to Professor Dumbledore" she said.
"Wow! That's good" he said, "Who is it?"
"It's...it's Pansy Parkinson" she said.
Was Pansy a friend of Draco's? What is he gets mad at me? She thought.
"Really" he said, "I could have guessed that"
"So your not mad then?" she asked.
"Mad?" he asked, "why would I be mad?"
"I didn't know if she was your friend or not or..." she said said quietly.
"No, no she is not my friend, she wanted to go out with me, but I turned her down" he said, "She might not like you, now that
we're going out"
"I don't care" she said, "As long as I have you"
"We have each other" he said.
They kissed.
After they said their good-bye's Anne walked to the Gryffidor portrait and climbed in. She had some homework left to
do, and also she wanted to see her friends. She walked in and saw a note on the table that read:
"-Anne
We have gone to Hagrid's. Come down if you can. It's 3:46 right now. Hope to see you.
Love,
Harry, Ron, and Hermione"
Anne looked at the clock it was 3:57, so she decided to go down to Hagrid's. She left the tower and she was walking down to
the front doors when she walked past Pansy Parkinson who gave her a mean look. She shook it off and decided to talk to Draco
about it later. She walked out onto the grounds, and went towards Hagrid's cabin. She knocked on the door and Hermione
answered it.
"Oh, hello Anne, we were hoping you would be joining us soon. Come in" she said.
Anne walked in and looked around. Harry, Ron, and Hagrid were sitting drinking tea, and Fang was lounging on a chair.
"Hi everyone"
"'ello" said Hagrid.
"Hello" said Harry and Ron.
"Where were you?" asked Ron.
"I was with Draco" she said.
"Oh, and did you tell him about Pansy?" asked Harry.
"Ya, he said she wanted to go out with him once, and he turned her down" she said, "She just gave me a bad look in the
corridor.
"Slytherin's are like that" said Hagrid.
"Not all Slytherin's Hagrid" she said disapprovingly.
"Ya, okay" he said.
She sat and talked with everyone for a while, then they decided they had better leave. So they said Good-bye to Hagrid and
walked back to the castle.
Then it was Saturday afternoon, all the 3rd years and above could go to Hogsmeade. So Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Anne
decided to go.
"Oh wait, please, let me get Draco" Anne asked.
"Okay, we'll come with" Harry and Hermione said.
"No" said Ron.
"Oh, come on Ron" said Hermione and Anne.
"Ok then, let's hurry up" he said.
Anne ran back inside and got her invisibililty cloak.
"What do you need that for?" Harry asked.
"Well, I need to get into the Slytherin common room to find him" she said puttin the cloak on.
"But you need the password" said Ron.
"I know it" she said.
"You do? What is it?" asked Harry.
"I'm not telling you" she said, "I was sworn to secrecy"
"What if it's changed?" Hermione asked.
"He said he'd tell me if he changed it" she said.
"Okay, let's hurry" said Ron.
They made it to the Slytherin tower, and Anne had to do a spell so the others wouldn't hear the password.
"Expos Quietus" she said.
No one could hear a thing, so she told the portrait the password.
"Lizardbreath" she said.
She walked inside with her cloak on, while the others stayed outside. She walked through the Slytherin common room, and
looked for Draco, carefully walking past people so not to walk into anyone. Then she saw Draco standing in front on the
mirror checking his hair. She touched him.
"Draco" she whispered.
"Anne?" he whispered back.
"Ya" She whispered.
"follow me" he said.
They walked back to the corner so they could talk.
"What are you doing here?" he said, "you would get in so much trouble"
"Ya, I know" she said smiling, "But, I came to get you, let's go"
They walked out an when they got outside the Slytherin tower Anne removed her cloak, she aid a spell that made it disappear
and reappear in her chest in the Gryffidor tower.
"There now let's go" she said taking Draco's hand.
"Okay, let's go" he said.
Ron was the only sour face in the group. He was still partly mad at Anne for going out with Draco. Anne could see he was
mad.
"Ron" she said disapprovinly, "Hermione, he's still mad at me isn't he?" she asked.
"Yes, I think so" she said, "Ron, it's not gunna change, we accepted it, why can't you"
"I'm sorry" he said, "You're right, I should, an I do. Sorry Anne, sorry Draco"
"That's okay" they said together.
"Where should we go first?" Ron asked.
"Let's go to Wonko's Joke Shop" said Hermione.
"Okay" they all agreed.
They all walked in and out of a bunch of shops in Hogsmeade. Then they decided to go to The Three Broomsticks for a
butterbear. They all walked into the shop to find a bunch of Hogwarts students milling around holding brimming, hot mugs
of butterbeer, and talking to their friends. They ordered five butterbeers and went to sit at a table. They all talked
small talk until their butterbeers arrived.
"Look, it's Hagrid" said Hermione suddenly.
"Hagrid" Harry yelled, "over here"
Hagrid pulled up a chair and sat down.
"'Ello" he said.
"What brings you to Hogsmeade Hagrid?" asked Anne.
"Came to see you" she said, "And to have a butterbeer"
With that a butterbeer was delievered to Hagrid. They all chatted for a while, and then decided to leave. They all walked
back to the castle together, and then Anne kissed Draco on the cheek, and they went back to their towers. On the way they
ran into Pansy Parkinson.
"I know" she said.
"Know what?" asked an annoyed Hermione.
"I know that THAT was" she said pointing to Anne, "was in our common room"
"What!" Anne yelled "Tell me, how could I get in their huh? how?"
"Draco told you, I know" she said.
"You're just mad becuase Draco didn't want to go out with you Pansy" she said.
"He told you!" she screamed, "he told you that!"
"I can't believe him" she screamed, stalking back to the Slytherin tower.
"Oh no" Anne said almost crying, "what if she does something to Draco? Respos Comus"
Her cloak popped into her hand.
"What?" Hermione asked, "Where are you going?"
"I have to go make sure she doesn't hurt him" she said running toward the Slytherin common room. She got to the portrait in
front of the Slytherin tower.
"lizardbreath" she said quietly, still hidden under the cloak.
She walked in and it was only Pansy and Draco in the room. Pansy was yelling at Draco for letting her in there and going
out with Anne, when she should be going out with her. Pansy was just about to do a spell when Anne threw off her cloak.
"Expelliarmus" she yelled, oblivious to Draco's surprised face.
Pansy's wand flew five feet through the air and Anne jumped up and caught it smiling.
"Petrificus Totalus" she yelled.
Pansy's arms and legs stuck together and she fell. Anne smiled and then collapsed. Draco ran to her caught her before she
fell and dragged her over to a chair. Her yell had attracked some people.
"Anne, come on, wake up" he said.
"What is SHE doing here Draco" asked Jenny and Lisa until they saw Pansy.
"OHMYGOD!" they yelled, "What happened to her?"
They undid the spell and helped her stand. Draco was still trying to wake up Anne. Anne opened her eyes but only partley.
He helped her up, and was going to take her to the infirmiry. He grabbed her cloak, and walked out on a bunch of surprised,
and angry faces.
He have dragged Anne for a while, then he decided he could get there faster with a spell.
"Wingardium Leviosa" he said waving his wand.
Anne floated up and Draco ran to the infirmirt with the floating, unconsious Anne following.
"Madam Pomfrey" he yelled.
"Yes?" she answered, "Oh, hello Draco...what...?"
"This is Anne from Gryffidor. She did a spell and then just passed out" he said quickly.
Madam Pomfrey laid her on a bed, and gave her a drink of a potion. She came around quickly.
"What...Where am I?" she said holding her head it her hands.
Draco went to her, and helped her up.
"I think you were under a lot of stress to pass out from a spell" she said, "What spell did she do Draco"
"Expelliarmus and Petrificus Totalus" he said.
"Well, those aren't complicated slepps. Where was she?" she asked.
"She was in the Slytherin commom room" Draco said quietly.
"Wait, Madam Pomfrey" said Anne, "This wasn't Draco's fault, I let myself in"
"Ok ok don't even tell me, and I won't give you detention" she said.
"Yes, ma'am" they said together.
"Now, Anne, I want you to stay here for a while and rest" she said.
"Okay" Anne replied, "But how long? I have a Quidditch match in three days"
"Don't worry, you'll be okay by then" she said, "now rest"
Draco walked over and kissed her on the cheek.
"Get well" he said.
"I Will, thanks for bringing me here" she said.
"No problem" he said.
He left and she slept for a while, her friends oblivious to her sickness. Draco knew this so he went to the tower and sent
Nearly Headless Nick to get Harry, Ron, and Hermione. They came out.
"Hey Draco, what is it?" Harry asked, "Where is Anne?"
"Um...that's why I came" he said, "She came to protect me from Pansy, and she did two spells and collapsed, I took her to the
hospital wing, and she is now there for a few days"
"OHMYGOD!" Hermione cried, "how could this happen"
"Here is her invisibility cloak" he said handing her cloak to Hermione.
"Thanks" she said, visibly shaken.
"Come on, let's go" Ron said.
"I have to go to class" Draco said, "Tell her I'll be back later"
Draco walked off toward class, while the others went down to the hospital wing.
They walked into the hosptital wing and found Madam Pomfrey.
"I was wondering when you three would turn up" she said, "Come with me"
They followed her to find Anne awake and sitting up in bed reading.
"Oh, hello everyone" she said, "wait, how did you know I was here?"
"Draco told us" said Ron.
"I told you he wan't horrible Ron" she said smiling.
"So, what is wrong with you?" asked Harry.
"I don't know" she said, "One minute I was in the Slytherin common room, the next I was here. Mandan Pomfrey said I was
stressed out or something"
"Can you still play Quidditch in three days?" Ron asked.
"RON!" Hermione scolded, "Anne's sick!"
"No, it's okay Hermione, but thanks" Anne said, "Madam Promfrey said I can play"
"Cool, well you better get some rest then" said Harry.
"Bye" said Hermione.
"Bye" said Ron.
One the day of the Quidditch match, Anne was released from the hospital wing. This was for the championship. She
really wanted to win. When she got to the game and changed into her Quidditch robes. They were playing Huffulpuff this
afternoon. They game started and Anne started around the field looking for the golden snitch. She sat on her broom watching
the game and looking for the snitch for about fourty-five minutes. Gryffidor was behind by ten points, no wait Angelina just
scored. The game was tied seventy to seventy. Then she saw it...The Golden Snitch. She took off, followed closely by the
Hufflepuff seeker. She dodged a bludger twice, and she was reaching and touched it, then using her last blast of speed, she
caught it.
"Yaaaa" screamed the crowd.
When she landed everyone came rushing to her! She was smiling, she was so happy. They won! Then Draco came up to her
smiling. He was so happy for her. They stood in a crowd of smiling faces, and kissed.
Anne was in the library of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was a fifth year in the Gryffidor house.
She was in the library that Friday afternoon picking up books for her three best friends, Harry, Ron, and Hermione. They had
asked her to pick up some of their books becuase they all had a potions test tommorrow, with their least favorite teacher,
Professor Snape. She just checked out the books and was walking down the hall when another 5th year from the Slytherin house
came up beside her. It was Draco Malfoy. Draco is known for being really mean, and a jerk, he as mean to all of her friends
,but what was really weird was that he was not mean to her. He came up to her and said hi, and she said hello. She was not
in much of a mood to talk becuase she was carrying a bunch of books and didn't want to trip.
"Do you want some help?" he asked.
"Well...yah ok sure, thanks" she said.
He took half of her books and carried them to the gryffidor portrait.
"Thanks so much" she said.
"No problem, see you later" he said.
She waited until he was about halfway down the corridor until she told the fat lady the password. She didn't want him to
accidently overhear. She had this weird feeling, like she kind of liked him, which was totally crazy becuase she was in
Gryffidor, and he was in Slytherin, these two houses definitly didn't get along!
The next day she stepped out of the portrait, and their was Draco standing there with a blood red rose. She smiled,
still thinking this was crazy, and took the rose.
"Good Morning to you too" she said smiling.
"A beautiful rose for a beautiful girl, I came to walk you down to potions" he said.
"Wonderful" she beamed.
They went walking toward the dungeons when they heard a yell.
"What is going on?" asked a frenzied Ron.
"Um...ah...sorry I didn't wait, but I..." she stammered.
"Um...that's ok, we'll catch up with you later then...bye" said a confused Hermione.
Draco and she walked off down the corridor. She felt a little bad leaving her friends like that, but she didn't want to hurt
Draco's feelings either. They went to potions class. Yesterday they were partnered up for a project so they just sat by
each other. They did their project, and after Draco walked hr back to the Gryffidor potrait. The next day, there was Draco
again with a flower, this time a carnation.
"Thanks" she said.
'Your welcome' he said.
They walked slowly down to potions that day.
"So, um I heard this rumor that you were going out with Harry?" Draco asked.
"No, I am not going out with Harry, or Ron, or anyone for that matter" she said.
"Well then, I was just wondering, I mean I know we just started talking for a little while but...I was wondering if you
wanted to go out with me, like be my girlfriend?" he asked quietly.
She took a deep breath, she really wanted to say yes, but a Gryffidor and a Slytherin? Will that work?
"Ok Draco, yes, I will go out with you" she said smiling.
They both blushed and walked off to class. When she returned to teh gryffifor tower, she was surprised to see Harry, Ron,
and Hermione standing their angerly.
"Um...hello everyone...um...what's going on????" she said a little flustered.
"You know very well what is going on" said and angry Ron.
"I do?" she said walking past them.
They would not let her leave that easily.
"Come on, we are your best friends, tell us what's going on with you and him" said Harry.
"I have to go to..um to...the library...ya...okay bye everyone" she said trying to escape the question.
"Oh no you don't" said Ron blocking the door.
"Ok, ok then...he...he...he asked me out?!?" she said finally.
Everyone looked amazingly surprised!
"And what did you say?" asked Hermione quietly.
"I said...I said yes" she said quietly.
Everyone burst out talking at once.
"What! How could you do that!" screamed Ron.
"But, he's a Slytherin" said Harry.
"I am happy for you, but he is a Slytherin" said Hermione.
"Yes, I know everyone, but I like him, and he likes me, please if you were my friends you wouldn't hate me for this" she
pleaded.
"Okay, I'm happy for you" said Harry and Hermione .
"Ya, ok" said Ron.
"Thank you guys, thanks for being my friends" she said.
Everything went the same for about two weeks. She walked on day with Draco and one day with her other friends becuause they
would not walk together. One day Draco and she were wallking down to the dungeons for potions. They had another potions
project and got put together again. They were sitting working on their project and holding hands under the table. She
giggled at a joke that Draco just told her, and Professor Snape heard and came stalking over.
"What is going on here?" Snape asked noticing them holding hands.
"Um...well...we are" she tried explaining but she couldn't.
"Okay then, Draco you go sit with Crabbe and Goyle, and you you sit with Harry, Ron, and Hermione he said to Anne. And to
think Draco, sinking low enough to date a Gryffidor...Tut Tut" said Snape greasily.
She went to sit by her friends, and starting thinking about what Snape had said. What if it was only a joke? What is
someone bet Draco to go out with her? She definitly had to think about this. She started avoiding Draco that week. He
didn't get it, but then again he didn't know what she was thinking. One day Draco pulled her into an empty classroom.
"What do you want, we are over don't you get it!" she said angrly.
"What is wrong with you? You have been acting weird all week" he asked.
"I know" she said, "I konw this was proabably all a set-up, that someone bet you to go out with me"
"No" he said.
"Yes" she said, "I should have known with you family history. your father proabably being a death eater and all"
"Ok, ok listen" he said, "this is not a set-up, I really do like you. I also have something to tell you, my father IS a
death eater"
She whipped out her wand and pointed it straight at Draco's chest.
"I knew it, and you are to right?" she snapped.
"No, I am not" he said, "my father wanted me to be, but I didn't want to be part of THAT crowd"
"OHMYGOD, I am so sorry" she started to cry, how could she have been so horrible?
"It's ok, really it is" he said holding her.
They kissed for the 1st time that night.
For a few more weeks everything was okay again. Anne and Draco would walk down the corridor holding hands. They
would get weird looks from different houses, but they ddin't even care. An announcement came saying: Will everyone please
return to their classrooms and will the teachers come to the staffroom. Anne and Draco exchanged glances. Anne was looking
fearful.
"Don't worry, I'm sure it's proabably nothing" said Draco calmly.
"I really hope you are sure" Anne said.
"Draco kissed Anne on the cheek and left toward the Slytherin house. Ane turned slightly scared toward the Gryffidor house.
She caught up with her friends.
"Let's check out what is going on" said Anne.
"Okay" said Anne.
"Let's go" said Ron and Hermione.
They all started creeping down the hall, hoping not to get caught. Harry was using his Marauder's Map to make sure everyone
was in their houses, or that the teachers were in the staff room. After they made sure all was clear they used invisibility
cloaks to sneak to the staff room. Harry and Ron under Harry's, and Hermione and Anne under Anne's. When they made it
outside the staff room, they heard voices.
"The unicorns are on a rampage" said Professor Dumbledore.
"what would make them do that?" asked Professor McGonagall.
"I don't know" said Professor Flitwick.
"There must be a spell or something" said Snape.
"Yes, well they are on the grounds of Hogwarts, so we have to keep the students inside" said Professor Dumbledore.
"What about Hagrid?" asked Professor McGonagall.
"He's ok, he already said that" said Professor Dumbledore.
"Ok then, this meeting is over. We will make the announcement soon"
"OHMYGOD, what will happen if those unicorns attack Hagrid's house?" asked Hermione.
"Ya, but Dumbledore said he was okay" said Ron.
"Hermione is right, they could knock over his house or something" said Harry.
"Maybe we can get past them with invisibililty cloaks" Anne said.
"Maybe, then we could go see him" said Hermione.
"Ok, let's go tomorrow" said Ron.
"Okay" agreed everyone.
There was an announcement later than night, addressed to all students, not to go outside for anything. No one knew
what was going on except for Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Anne. Anne wanted to tell Draco but they made her promise not to tell
anyone. She finally agreed and said she would not tell. That night they snuck out of the castle under the two invisibility
cloaks. There were unicorns everywhere. All of them acting crazy, running around, running into each other, it was the
strangest sight to see. They all stuck to the right and ran all the way to Hagrid's house. Hary knocked on the door three
times.
"Who's that? Who's there?" came a gruff voice.
"It's us Hagrid, let us in before we get trampled by unicorns" came Hermione's voice.
"Please Hagrid hurry" said Anne.
"Come in, come in, hurry" said Hagrid.
"Thanks" said Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Anne.
"I'll be making tea then" said Hagrid.
Everyone removed their cloaks.
"It's really crazy out their Hagrid" said Ron.
"What is wrong with them" asked Hermione.
"I don't rightly know, seems like a spell or something" said Hagrid still making tea.
"Maybe it was Malfoy" said Ron eagerly.
"No! Ron I told you not to accuse him" said Anne.
"Not him, his father" said Ron.
"I have never heard you be so defensive about Draco before Anne" said Hagrid gruffly.
"I...I..." stammered Anne.
No on told Hagrid that Anne and Draco were going out.
"What is going on?" asked Hagrid.
"Draco and Anne are going out" said Ron.
"RON!" said Harry, Hermione, and Anne.
"Well, it's true" said Ron.
"Is it true Anne, but he's he's a..." stammered Hagrid.
"Yes I know, I know, a Slytherin, but I really like him, and he really likes me" said Anne.
"Okay then Anne it's your choice" said Hagrid.
"I have to tell you something about Lucius everyone" said Anne.
"What?" everyone asked.
"Well, Draco said that his father is a death-eater and..." said Anne.
Harry, Hermione, and Ron jumped up, and Hagrid dropped his cup of tea.
"What?!?" everyone yelled at once.
"He must be then" yelled Harry and Ron together.
"No" said Anne.
"No way" said Hermione and Hagrid together.
"It's ok really. He's not a death-eater. He does not want to be part of THAT crowd" yelled Anne over the rush of voices.
"How can you trust him?" asked Ron.
"I just CAN Ron, I know him, and I trust him with my life" said Anne.
"Ok ok so everyone stop freaking out! I trust Anne, if she says Draco isn't a death-eater then he isn't" said Hermione.
"Thank You" said Anne.
"Well, it's getting late everyone better get back" said Hagrid, "be careful on the way back to the castle, and Anne come
here a minute"
"Yes Hagrid?" asked Anne.
"Be careful with Lucius' son okay?" asked Hagrid.
"Ok Hagrid, I promise, see you later" Anne said giving Hagrid a hug and leaving.
They all got under their cloaks and left. They had to watch out for the charging, crazed unicorns. Ron tripped and fell
away from the cloak.
"OWWW" he said, "I twisted my ankle"
"RON!" shouted Hermoine, "Run!"
Ron turned to see about one hundered crazed unicorns running toward him.
"AHHHHHHHHH" he shouted.
Ron could barley run. Anne jumped out from under her cloak and ran to help him.
"Come on Ron let's go" she said.
"Hurry up you two" shouted Hermione.
Anne helped Ron up and they ran back to the cloaks.
"Hermione, go under Harry's cloak so I can help Ron"
"Okay, everyone run toward the school" she said.
Everyone ran ask fast and they could toward the school steps. They all bounded up them as fast as they could.
"Okay, shhhhhhh now" said Harry.
"OW" said Ron.
"It's ok Ron, just limp" said Anne.
"They got to the fat lady portrait, and gave her the password, fizzybubbly, and went inside. They threw off their cloaks and
Anne helped the limping Ron to sit on a chair in front of the fire.
"Let me see your ankle Ron" said Hermione.
Ron's ankle was swollen. Hermione took out her wand and pointed it at Ron's ankle.
"Exspectus Modumer" whispered Hermione.
"Wow! That's better" said Ron, "Thanks Hermione"
"Ok, now let's go to bed" said Harry.
"OH NO!" said Anne.
"What! What is it?" asked Harry.
"Draco. I...I was supposed to meet him an hour ago" said Anne.
"I'm sure he will understand" said Hermione, "Let's just all go to bed"
"Okay" said Anne, "I sure hope you are right"
They all went to bed. They boys to the boys dormitory and the girls to the girls dormitory. The next morning Anne got up
early and went walking down the halls. She went to the Slytherin common room, and found the slytherin ghost, the Bloody
Baron, in the hallway.
"Excuse me, Mr. Baron" asked Anne.
"YYYEEESSS" he moaned.
"Will you do me a favor and go tell Draco to come out, It's Anne." she said.
"OOOKKKKKK" he moaned.
With that he floated through the wall and Anne waited. About two minutes later, Draco came out.
"What...what time is it" he yawned.
"Oh, I'm sorry Draco. I didn't know it as that early but I wanted to talk to you" she said.
"It's ok really, just I have to get dressed first" he said, "come in, I don't think anyone is up yet so you can come in"
"Okay" she said a little Apprehensively.
"She entered the Slytherin common room.
"Have a seat" he said, "I'll be down in a few minutes"
She sat down on a couch, and looked around the room. When she was looking around three Slytherin girls came into the common
room and stopped. Anne turned, and there they were staring at her.
"Who are you" they asked.
"I am Anne, a fifth year from Gryffidor, who are you?" she asked.
"We are Pantsy, Jenny, and Lisa from Slytherin" they said, "What is a gryffidor doing in the Slytherin house? how did you get
in?"
They all had their wands out, and Anne got hers out too.
"Explain now, or pay" Patsy said.
"Uh...well you see its like this..." Anne studdered.
Anne didn't know what to do it was three against one. What chance did she have? Then came a voice.
"Expelliarmus, Expelliarmus, Expelliarmus" yelled Draco.
All three girl wands flew through the air and were caught by Draco.
"Don't even think about it, if you hurt one hair on her..." he threatened.
"Well then tell us who this is" Jenny said.
"This is my girlfriend, Anne, from Gryffidor" he said calmly.
"How did she get in here? She'll contaminate it" Lisa said,. her face with a disgusted look.
"I let her in, we were just about to go for an early morning walk" he said, "now if you don't mind we have to leave.
Good Bye."
"Whatever, we just want our wands back" they said.
Draco threw back their wands and they went to bed.
"Come on, let's go" he said.
"Okay" said Anne a little shaken.
They started out into the corridor when Anne started up.
"I am sooooooooooooooooooo sorry Draco" she said, "I know that we were supposed to meet but..."
"Shhhhhhhhhh" he said comfortingly, "It's okay, really, I knew something must have come up"
"We went to see Hagrid" she said, "And then Ron twisted his ankle"
"Is he okay?" Draco asked.
"Um...Draco...I have to ask you something" she said quietly.
"Ya? What's going on?" he said puttin his arm around her.
"Well, your are always mean to my friends, but not to me. If you are mean to my friends, you are mean to me and..." she
tried to explain.
"Oh, ok listen I'm sorry, I doin't try its just how my father brought me up" he said, "I will go apologise right now if you
want"
"Okay, thank you so much"
They kissed right there in the hall and then came Flinch's cat, they laughed and ran all the way up to the Gryffidor tower.
"Come on" she said, "Come in with me"
They walked in together holding hands, Anne leaning against Draco. It was kind of early but she knew that her friends would
be up. They are always up early, she just hoped no one else would be up. They walked in and saw three very surprised
faces.
"Um...hi everyone...you know Draco" she tried.
"Good morning" said Hermione, a little confused.
Ron and Harry were fuming. Anne saw it in their faces.
"Chill guys, it's ok" she said "I know I shouldn't bring him in here, but I made sure he didn't hear the password"
"Really, I didn't come in here to fight" Draco said.
"Ok, but will you two please not hold hands in front of us?" Ron asked.
"Oh, ok" said Anne a little flustered.
Draco and Anne stepped apart. Anne felt lonley already.
"Well, Draco has something to tell you all" Anne said, "So please listen, as my friends, please"
"Okay" said Harry, "what?"
"Well, I would like to apologise about how mean I was to you. It;s just that was the way I was brought up. My father is
well...kind of..." he said.
"WE know....we know your father is a death-eater" Hermione said.
"Then, do you know that I'm not?" he asked.
"Yes, we trust Anne, but let's see your arms" said Harry.
Draco showed them both his arms, and they had nothing on them.
"Okay then" Harry said.
Anne had been quiet the whole time.
"Do you forgive him?" she asked, "Please"
"Yes" said Hermoine.
"Yes" said Harry.
"Okay" said Ron.
Anne went and hugged her three best friends.
"Thank you" she said, almost crying, "Thank you so much"
"Ya" they said.
"Ron, can I go hug Draco now" she said kiddingly.
"Yes, I'm sorry" said a little embarressed Ron.
"That's okay Ron" Anne said.
She ran over and hugged Draco.
"We better get out of here before anyone else wakes up" Anne said Laughing.
"Ya, your right" Draco said, "Thanks everyone"
"Ya, bye" they called as Draco and Anne climbed out of the portrait hole.
Right after they climbed out Professor McGonagall walked by.
"what is going on here? Anne...Draco?" she asked, "Why were you two in the Gryffidor tower?"
"I...he had to apologise to my friends and..." Anne started.
"That's nice but he shouldn't of been in there" she said, "Does he know the password?"
"No Ma'am, I don't" Draco said.
"I will pretend I didn't see this becuase he doesn't know the password but his better not happen again" she threatened.
"Yes ma'am" they said together.
After Professor McGonagall left they both started laughing.
"That was way to close" Anne said.
"Ya, way to close" Draco said, "If it was Snape we would have detention right now"
There was a quick announcement that the grounds were safe again, so the students could go outside again. They went down to
the lake together, the sun was just coming up.
"It's so beautiful" Anne said and moved closer to Draco.
"Ya, it is" he said puttin his arm around her.
They sat like that for a half and hour, Anne's hear resting on Draco's shoulder.
"We better go, it's almost time for breakfast" Anne said.
"Ya, you're right" Draco said.
They kissed again right before breakfast.
"That was sweeter than breakfast" Anne said smiling.
"Yes, It most defintitly was" Draco said.
They walked down to breakfast hand in hand. They didn't want to part, but went to their seperate tables. THey ate and then
walked to Tranfiguration together. That day they were transforming pillows into ducks. They had partners and Anne and Draco
were together. Anne was sure that Professor McGonagall winked at her when she said:
"Draco and Anne, you two will be together"The
They changed their pillows into ducks and back many many times. It was easier when they were together. They Quidditch
season had started again. Anne was a seeker and so was Draco. They had agreed to play against each other just as they
would anyone else. No special treatment, but they would meet after the game. The first Quidditch game was the naext day,
Gryffidor v.s. Slytherin. Draco and Anne met before the game, kissed for good luck, and went off to change into their
Quidditch robes.
The game started and all went well for a while about an hour into the game Slytherin and Gryffidor were tied 50
points to 50 points. Neither Anne or Draco had seen the snitch. Then there it was flying twenty feet about Angelina Johnson
of Gryffidor. Anne took off as fast as she could go with Draco at her heels. The snitch was speeding all over the field.
Anne and Draco were chasing it quickly. Anne was closer and was reaching, reaching she fiinally snatched it up and did a
victory lap around the field. The Gryffidor side was cheering. Draco came up beside her and kissed her on the cheek.
"Good catch, and nice riding" he said smiling.
"Nice kiss, and nice riding" she said smiling also.
They landed together, and went their seperate ways to shower and change. They did not see Patsy talking to Professor
Dumbledore, and didn't know they would be in trouble in a little while. After they showered and changed they met up with
each other and wre walking down the corridor when they were stopped by Professor McGonagall.
"You two come with me" she said.
"But Professor" Anne asked "what did we do"
"Just come with me" she said.
Anne and Draco exchanged glances with each other, and walked with Professor McGonagall to the gargoyle staute.
"Coachroach Cluster" she said.
The stairs were winding up.
"Go, the headmaster will be waiting for you" she said.
Again, they exchanged glances but they went up the stairs. They walked into the headmaster's office, and saw the pictures
of old headmasters and the sorting hat. The headmaster was sitting at his desk.
"Excuse me Professor" Anne said, "Professor McGonagall asked us to come up"
"Yes, come and sit down" he said.
"I'm sorry, but we don't know why were are here" Draco said.
"I have been having some complaints latley" he said slowly, "about you two"
"About us sir" Anne said, "Do you mean that we are going out, and playing against each other for Quidditch"
"Yes, that is percisly it" he said.
"Well sir, if I may speak, we have already worked that out" Draco said.
"Have you then" the headmaster said.
"Yes sir, we may be going out, but that does not affect Quidditch" Anne said, "We said that we would play against each other
just as if we were playing against anyone else"
"Oh I see, well then we have nothing else to discuss then" he said, "Thank you for your time"
"Thank you sir" they both said.
They left and went down the corridor.
"Wow! That was close" Draco said.
"Ya, but I wonder who complained about us?" Anne said.
"I don't know, ut I hope it wasn't any of our friends" he said.
"Proabably not" she said.
"Ya, our friends would not do that" she said, "I better go"
"Okay bye" he said kissing her on the cheek.
Anne walked back to the Gryffidor tower still thinking about who complained about them. She decided to ask her
friends. She got to the portrait.
"Fizzybubbly" she said to the Fat lady.
The portrait swung open and she walked inside. There she found her friends sitting at a table working on their homework.
"Hey guys, I need to talk to you okay?" she said.
"Sure, what's going on?" Hermione asked.
"Well, Draco and I were just meeting with the headmaster because someone complained about going out and still playing
against each other in Quidditch" she said, "Who would do that?"
"Well, I can't believe someone acually did that" Harry said.
"It must have been a Slytherin" said Ron snickering.
"Wait!" Harry said, "I saw Pansy Parkinson talking to the headmaster after today's Quidditch match!"
"Oh ya, I heard her say something to her friends about complaining about Draco" said Hermione.
"I have to go tell Draco!" Anne said, "Thanks guys, you are such a big help"
"Bye" they said.
Anne walked down the corridor toward the Gryffidor tower. She really need to talk to Draco. She got to the
portrait. She knew the password but didn't use it. She couldn't just walk into the Slytherin common room! She saw Peeves
coming bouncing up and down the corridor.
"Hey Peeves, come here quick" Anne said.
"What do youuuuu want?" asked Peeves.
"If you go and get Draco, I'll tell you a really good joke to play on Professor Snape!" she said.
"And who do I say wants to see him?" asked Peeves.
"Tell him it's Anne" she said.
"Are you his girlfriend?!?" he asked teasingly.
She sighed.
"Yes Peeves" she said, "I am his girlfriend, now go"
"Okay" he said.
He flew into the Slytherin tower singing:
"Anne and Draco sitting in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G"
Anne rolled her eyes, at least he went, now she had to think of a good joke. Draco came out.
"Oh hi" he said smiling.
"JOKE! JOKE!" sang Peeves.
"Okay, Okay Peeves listen" she said, "you...um...you take some invisible applesause and put it outside Snape's office, and
knock, then hide and he'll come out and slip"
"HA HA HA" sang Peeves floating toward the kitchens.
"Can we go walking?" Anne asked.
"Sure, let's go" said Draco puttin his arm around her.
"I know who complained to Professor Dumbledore" she said.
"Wow! That's good" he said, "Who is it?"
"It's...it's Pansy Parkinson" she said.
Was Pansy a friend of Draco's? What is he gets mad at me? She thought.
"Really" he said, "I could have guessed that"
"So your not mad then?" she asked.
"Mad?" he asked, "why would I be mad?"
"I didn't know if she was your friend or not or..." she said said quietly.
"No, no she is not my friend, she wanted to go out with me, but I turned her down" he said, "She might not like you, now that
we're going out"
"I don't care" she said, "As long as I have you"
"We have each other" he said.
They kissed.
After they said their good-bye's Anne walked to the Gryffidor portrait and climbed in. She had some homework left to
do, and also she wanted to see her friends. She walked in and saw a note on the table that read:
"-Anne
We have gone to Hagrid's. Come down if you can. It's 3:46 right now. Hope to see you.
Love,
Harry, Ron, and Hermione"
Anne looked at the clock it was 3:57, so she decided to go down to Hagrid's. She left the tower and she was walking down to
the front doors when she walked past Pansy Parkinson who gave her a mean look. She shook it off and decided to talk to Draco
about it later. She walked out onto the grounds, and went towards Hagrid's cabin. She knocked on the door and Hermione
answered it.
"Oh, hello Anne, we were hoping you would be joining us soon. Come in" she said.
Anne walked in and looked around. Harry, Ron, and Hagrid were sitting drinking tea, and Fang was lounging on a chair.
"Hi everyone"
"'ello" said Hagrid.
"Hello" said Harry and Ron.
"Where were you?" asked Ron.
"I was with Draco" she said.
"Oh, and did you tell him about Pansy?" asked Harry.
"Ya, he said she wanted to go out with him once, and he turned her down" she said, "She just gave me a bad look in the
corridor.
"Slytherin's are like that" said Hagrid.
"Not all Slytherin's Hagrid" she said disapprovingly.
"Ya, okay" he said.
She sat and talked with everyone for a while, then they decided they had better leave. So they said Good-bye to Hagrid and
walked back to the castle.
Then it was Saturday afternoon, all the 3rd years and above could go to Hogsmeade. So Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Anne
decided to go.
"Oh wait, please, let me get Draco" Anne asked.
"Okay, we'll come with" Harry and Hermione said.
"No" said Ron.
"Oh, come on Ron" said Hermione and Anne.
"Ok then, let's hurry up" he said.
Anne ran back inside and got her invisibililty cloak.
"What do you need that for?" Harry asked.
"Well, I need to get into the Slytherin common room to find him" she said puttin the cloak on.
"But you need the password" said Ron.
"I know it" she said.
"You do? What is it?" asked Harry.
"I'm not telling you" she said, "I was sworn to secrecy"
"What if it's changed?" Hermione asked.
"He said he'd tell me if he changed it" she said.
"Okay, let's hurry" said Ron.
They made it to the Slytherin tower, and Anne had to do a spell so the others wouldn't hear the password.
"Expos Quietus" she said.
No one could hear a thing, so she told the portrait the password.
"Lizardbreath" she said.
She walked inside with her cloak on, while the others stayed outside. She walked through the Slytherin common room, and
looked for Draco, carefully walking past people so not to walk into anyone. Then she saw Draco standing in front on the
mirror checking his hair. She touched him.
"Draco" she whispered.
"Anne?" he whispered back.
"Ya" She whispered.
"follow me" he said.
They walked back to the corner so they could talk.
"What are you doing here?" he said, "you would get in so much trouble"
"Ya, I know" she said smiling, "But, I came to get you, let's go"
They walked out an when they got outside the Slytherin tower Anne removed her cloak, she aid a spell that made it disappear
and reappear in her chest in the Gryffidor tower.
"There now let's go" she said taking Draco's hand.
"Okay, let's go" he said.
Ron was the only sour face in the group. He was still partly mad at Anne for going out with Draco. Anne could see he was
mad.
"Ron" she said disapprovinly, "Hermione, he's still mad at me isn't he?" she asked.
"Yes, I think so" she said, "Ron, it's not gunna change, we accepted it, why can't you"
"I'm sorry" he said, "You're right, I should, an I do. Sorry Anne, sorry Draco"
"That's okay" they said together.
"Where should we go first?" Ron asked.
"Let's go to Wonko's Joke Shop" said Hermione.
"Okay" they all agreed.
They all walked in and out of a bunch of shops in Hogsmeade. Then they decided to go to The Three Broomsticks for a
butterbear. They all walked into the shop to find a bunch of Hogwarts students milling around holding brimming, hot mugs
of butterbeer, and talking to their friends. They ordered five butterbeers and went to sit at a table. They all talked
small talk until their butterbeers arrived.
"Look, it's Hagrid" said Hermione suddenly.
"Hagrid" Harry yelled, "over here"
Hagrid pulled up a chair and sat down.
"'Ello" he said.
"What brings you to Hogsmeade Hagrid?" asked Anne.
"Came to see you" she said, "And to have a butterbeer"
With that a butterbeer was delievered to Hagrid. They all chatted for a while, and then decided to leave. They all walked
back to the castle together, and then Anne kissed Draco on the cheek, and they went back to their towers. On the way they
ran into Pansy Parkinson.
"I know" she said.
"Know what?" asked an annoyed Hermione.
"I know that THAT was" she said pointing to Anne, "was in our common room"
"What!" Anne yelled "Tell me, how could I get in their huh? how?"
"Draco told you, I know" she said.
"You're just mad becuase Draco didn't want to go out with you Pansy" she said.
"He told you!" she screamed, "he told you that!"
"I can't believe him" she screamed, stalking back to the Slytherin tower.
"Oh no" Anne said almost crying, "what if she does something to Draco? Respos Comus"
Her cloak popped into her hand.
"What?" Hermione asked, "Where are you going?"
"I have to go make sure she doesn't hurt him" she said running toward the Slytherin common room. She got to the portrait in
front of the Slytherin tower.
"lizardbreath" she said quietly, still hidden under the cloak.
She walked in and it was only Pansy and Draco in the room. Pansy was yelling at Draco for letting her in there and going
out with Anne, when she should be going out with her. Pansy was just about to do a spell when Anne threw off her cloak.
"Expelliarmus" she yelled, oblivious to Draco's surprised face.
Pansy's wand flew five feet through the air and Anne jumped up and caught it smiling.
"Petrificus Totalus" she yelled.
Pansy's arms and legs stuck together and she fell. Anne smiled and then collapsed. Draco ran to her caught her before she
fell and dragged her over to a chair. Her yell had attracked some people.
"Anne, come on, wake up" he said.
"What is SHE doing here Draco" asked Jenny and Lisa until they saw Pansy.
"OHMYGOD!" they yelled, "What happened to her?"
They undid the spell and helped her stand. Draco was still trying to wake up Anne. Anne opened her eyes but only partley.
He helped her up, and was going to take her to the infirmiry. He grabbed her cloak, and walked out on a bunch of surprised,
and angry faces.
He have dragged Anne for a while, then he decided he could get there faster with a spell.
"Wingardium Leviosa" he said waving his wand.
Anne floated up and Draco ran to the infirmirt with the floating, unconsious Anne following.
"Madam Pomfrey" he yelled.
"Yes?" she answered, "Oh, hello Draco...what...?"
"This is Anne from Gryffidor. She did a spell and then just passed out" he said quickly.
Madam Pomfrey laid her on a bed, and gave her a drink of a potion. She came around quickly.
"What...Where am I?" she said holding her head it her hands.
Draco went to her, and helped her up.
"I think you were under a lot of stress to pass out from a spell" she said, "What spell did she do Draco"
"Expelliarmus and Petrificus Totalus" he said.
"Well, those aren't complicated slepps. Where was she?" she asked.
"She was in the Slytherin commom room" Draco said quietly.
"Wait, Madam Pomfrey" said Anne, "This wasn't Draco's fault, I let myself in"
"Ok ok don't even tell me, and I won't give you detention" she said.
"Yes, ma'am" they said together.
"Now, Anne, I want you to stay here for a while and rest" she said.
"Okay" Anne replied, "But how long? I have a Quidditch match in three days"
"Don't worry, you'll be okay by then" she said, "now rest"
Draco walked over and kissed her on the cheek.
"Get well" he said.
"I Will, thanks for bringing me here" she said.
"No problem" he said.
He left and she slept for a while, her friends oblivious to her sickness. Draco knew this so he went to the tower and sent
Nearly Headless Nick to get Harry, Ron, and Hermione. They came out.
"Hey Draco, what is it?" Harry asked, "Where is Anne?"
"Um...that's why I came" he said, "She came to protect me from Pansy, and she did two spells and collapsed, I took her to the
hospital wing, and she is now there for a few days"
"OHMYGOD!" Hermione cried, "how could this happen"
"Here is her invisibility cloak" he said handing her cloak to Hermione.
"Thanks" she said, visibly shaken.
"Come on, let's go" Ron said.
"I have to go to class" Draco said, "Tell her I'll be back later"
Draco walked off toward class, while the others went down to the hospital wing.
They walked into the hosptital wing and found Madam Pomfrey.
"I was wondering when you three would turn up" she said, "Come with me"
They followed her to find Anne awake and sitting up in bed reading.
"Oh, hello everyone" she said, "wait, how did you know I was here?"
"Draco told us" said Ron.
"I told you he wan't horrible Ron" she said smiling.
"So, what is wrong with you?" asked Harry.
"I don't know" she said, "One minute I was in the Slytherin common room, the next I was here. Mandan Pomfrey said I was
stressed out or something"
"Can you still play Quidditch in three days?" Ron asked.
"RON!" Hermione scolded, "Anne's sick!"
"No, it's okay Hermione, but thanks" Anne said, "Madam Promfrey said I can play"
"Cool, well you better get some rest then" said Harry.
"Bye" said Hermione.
"Bye" said Ron.
One the day of the Quidditch match, Anne was released from the hospital wing. This was for the championship. She
really wanted to win. When she got to the game and changed into her Quidditch robes. They were playing Huffulpuff this
afternoon. They game started and Anne started around the field looking for the golden snitch. She sat on her broom watching
the game and looking for the snitch for about fourty-five minutes. Gryffidor was behind by ten points, no wait Angelina just
scored. The game was tied seventy to seventy. Then she saw it...The Golden Snitch. She took off, followed closely by the
Hufflepuff seeker. She dodged a bludger twice, and she was reaching and touched it, then using her last blast of speed, she
caught it.
"Yaaaa" screamed the crowd.
When she landed everyone came rushing to her! She was smiling, she was so happy. They won! Then Draco came up to her
smiling. He was so happy for her. They stood in a crowd of smiling faces, and kissed.
