immediately.

"Alright!" Ginny grinned.

"Y'know, it's funny…" Jesse said "We haven't even met Anna, yet we still want her to sit with us."

"Yeah, I know" Ginny grinned, then they both waved energetically at Anna, who was standing looking around for an empty seat. She grinned and hurried to her spot.

Dumbledore rose.

"Dig in!" he called out to the students. As Jesse helped herself to some tortellini which had magically appeared on the platter in front of her, she smiled at Anna. " Don't ya hate that?" about the sorting.

"Oh, God, it was awful. All these people staring at me."

Ginny grinned "Mine sucked too. At least you didn't have a huge crop of red hair drawing even MORE attention to you!" Anna grinned. "But even so," Anna continued "Having that tarty girl, what's her name, Mary-Scott or whatever sashaying around, flipping her hair…it sucked!"

"Yeah…" Jesse agreed. "But at least you didn't fall on your face."

Anna sniggered. "Did YOU?" She asked Jesse.

Jesse nodded, howling with laughter at the memory of herself three and a half years ago. Ginny and Anna howled with her, but Ginny sobered up when she saw Mary Scott lean coyly across the table to speak to him. Harry blushed. Ginny stiffened. Anna groaned. Jesse fumed.

"God." She spit out between clenched teeth. "There are too many preps in the world without Hairy-Snott or whatever her name is." Anna and Ginny grinned.

"Hairy-Snott." Ginny smiled evilly. "Perfect"

"Yeah." Anna grinned. "Just perfect."
