Chapter 1: Hogwarts, Here Comes Anastasia!

The new school year started off like any other. I was at the train station telling my family good bye. My mother was blubbering like usual whenever I departed to Hogwarts. I heard that announcer say that the train would be leaving in approximately five minutes. I still had to find a compartment.

"Oh, you should get going." My mother said as she handed me a duffle bag.

"Yeah, I'll miss you." I said as I gave my parents and little sisters hugs and kisses.

"Promise, you will write me at least three times a week." My mother demanded. She made me make the same promise every year.

"I promise, now good bye for the final time." I waved to them and boarded the train.

I sighed with relief that I wouldn't see my family until Christmas. I loved them with all my heart but I needed a break from them every once in a while. I walked up the aisle, opening compartment doors only to receive irritated glances from the passengers within them. I opened another one and noticed that the golden trio.

"Hey, mind if I come in." I announced.

"Anastasia!" they all replied in unison.

"I take that as a yes."

"Oh, come on." Harry said as I came in and sat down next to him.

"So, how were your guys' summers?" I asked as I sat my duffle bag onto the floor between my feet.

" fine, we all spent most of the summer over at the Weasley's. Just doing the normal." Harry answered. "how about you?"

"Well, I stayed home most of the time just reading and writing. I did go to the library a few times. That's about it." I shrugged. I didn't give them the entire description of my entire summer just the basics of what I did.

"Seems like all of us had uneventful summers." Hermione pointed out.

"Well I tell you one thing for sure you guys really matured this summer." I glanced at each of them.

"Thanks." Ron said with a slight tint of pink on his cheeks. He could blush so easily.

"So have you. I mean your hair has gotten a lot longer and you're a blonde too." Hermione said.

"Yeah, being a brunette is fun and all but I wanted to try something different." I replied with a smile.

Suddenly the doors swung open to reveal the most disgusting spectacle I had every seen in my entire life, the infamous Draco Malfoy.

"Ah, what a sight? A blood traitor hanging around the golden loser circle." Draco insulted as he glanced towards me.

I was a pure blood and ended up being in Gryffindor. Basically disgracing all purebloods with the house that I was put in. however my parents didn't really care which house I was in as long as I was the excellent student that I had always been.

"Oh please, is that the best you can come up with?" I questioned his thought processor.

"Harris, you became a blonde, I have to say that I preferred you as a brunette." He said with that famous smirk that he was famous for.

My anger was beyond boiling point, I wanted to go right up to him and beat his ass all the way to Hogwarts. It took all of my power of strong will to resist the temptation to do so.

"Well, for that fact I'm glad that I changed the color. Now shoo away, Malfoy." I said as I gave him a wave of my hand.

He just stood there for moment not moving a muscle just gazing at me.

"Malfoy, do you have any brain cells left to the point that you cant even listen." I said with a smile.

"Oh, shut the hell up, Harris." Malfoy stomped off to what I presumed was to his compartment.

"Oh I'm good." I couldn't help but feel proud of myself for verbally abusing Draco Malfoy the famous player as well as the world's first place jerk.

"That was pretty cool. He couldn't even come up with one. We're very proud of you!" I received a high five from each of them. Normally Hermione would have protested of that kind of behavior but it was Draco she didn't care. I could see that she enjoyed the scene like everybody else.

The train had about half an hour before we were to arrive at the station. So I decided to get changed into my uniform. I grabbed my duffle bag and headed for the bathrooms. I had to push passed a few people but for the most part it was smooth sailing. Once I made it to my destination I quickly changed into my uniform, being courteous to the other girls that did the last minute routine like I did.

I looked at myself in the mirror, pulling my hair into a messy bun, leaving my side bangs alone. I applied little make up that consisted of mascara, a bit of eyeliner and chap stick. I checked in the mirror for the last time to see if I looked decent for my first day back at Hogwarts. I stuffed my other clothes into the duffle bag, not leaving anything behind. I exited the bathroom and made my way back to the compartment.

Along my way I bumped into Draco, I had to admit at that moment I didn't feel like putting up with his ego, which was bigger than my checking account back home.

"Watch where you're going, traitor." He snorted as he continued along his way, pushing passed me in the process.

"Ferret, you need to come up with some new material. Seriously. You've been using the same name since first year." I said to him as I walked back into the compartment.

I immediately sat down, trying to calm the nervous butterflies that were squirming within my stomach. I pulled out a book and began reading to take my mind off of Draco, the first day back at school, missing my family. The list just went on and occasionally I found myself adding some more things to it as I was trying to busy my mind.

A/n: I'm just trying to expand my writing from other than Anime. Also I would really appreciate it if you read and review.
