CHAPTER 9: Welcome back
Anna smirked at the sight of the students shocked faces, and the first years look of awe. She searched the Gryffindor table and quickly found Harry in a quick glance to see him staring at her with his mouth wide open, eyes buldging. She started down the isle as the only sound was her heels making a soft click against the stone floor.
" I believe a proper welcome is in order!" Declared Dumbledore, as his old hands slapped together.
The students joined in full force as Anna gave a slight nod and made her way to the end of the Gryffindor table. She sat herself between two new first years that stared at her without blinking.
" What?" She asked annoyed, the pair instantly squealed and turned thier attention back to Dumbledore. It would seem as if the sound of her voice was enough to make them crap thier pants.
' Nice to meet you too.' Anna thought sarcastically rolling her eyes, as she then turned her attention back to Dumbledore. Determined not to look at Harry, no matter how hard it was for her.
" Now, let the feast BEGIN!" Dumbledore exclaimed throwing his hands into the air as various foods filled the empty plates of Hogwarts.
The four tables instantly pounced on the delicious food, even Anna was surprised at the beastly attack, as the first years violently tore apart thier food. Anna took her time filling her plate and goblet as she noticed the lack of sound coming from her table. She looked at the Gryffindor table to see them quietly staring at her. Well everyone but Ron who just happened to find the chicken.
" Eat!" Anna declared as if they were five year olds. The table instantly looked down and started stuffing thier faces, except for Harry and Hermione.
Anna rolled her eyes and instantly began taking bites of her mash potatoes, all the while avoiding thier gazes. Minutes passed as Anna slowly ate, she felt a heated stare on her, and it wasn't coming from the Gryffindors. Anna turned her head from side to side trying to figure out who it was, when brown eyes meet cold grey ones.
Draco Malfoy stared into her eyes as memories flashed before her. She quickly turned her head and focused her eyes on on her plate. Her appetite soon left her as a migrane soon pounded at her head. She put a hand to her head as she searched her robes. Anna produced a vile with a blue substance, as she quickly uncorcked it and downed its contents in one gulp. She breathed in deeply and opened her eyes to see the two same first years staring at her.
" Hermione." Harry said as he motioned for her to come closer.
" Yes?" She asked, leaning in.
" What was that potion Anna just took?" Harry asked. He looked at her to see her glaring at a first year, that seemed to ask her every question on the face of the earth.
" Probably for her headaches." She said logically, observing the empty vile. Harry looked at her trying to catch her eye, although with no such luck.
"UHG!" He yelped in frustration as he slamed his fork down. It earned a few glares from his row, but not even a glance from Anna.
" Why won't she look at me?" He whispered in frustration.
" Maybe she just wants to be alone." Hermione suggested calmly.
" Who does?" Ron asked, sputtering food from his full mouth.
" Manners, Ron!" Hermione hissed. She wiped the contents from his mouth off of her robe.
" Anna." Harry said sadly, the trio looked towards her to see an amused expression on her face. Although only for a second before she snapped her head away, her black hair swishing behind her.
" See what I mean!" Harry said in frustration.
" Give her some time mate." Ron suggeseted.
" Since when did you become Mr. Sensitivity?" Harry asked sarcastically. Ron's face contorted in anger, Hermione knew there was going to be a fight, so she cut in.
" We will talk to her after dinner." She stated sternly, daring anyone to complain. The two boys nodded and went back to thier food. Meanwhile, Anna was trying everything to keep from killing the first year. Or more importantly, from killing herself.
" Do you have gross scars?" The little boy asked excitedly.
" No." She said for the millionth time, trying to get him to shut up.
" Aww, darn it." He replied, Anna sighed in relief as a moments silence passed.
" I have scar, I got it when I climed the tree in my back yard. Even though my mum told me not to, but my big brother said..." Anna groaned and banged her head on the table.
" Did that hurt?" The little boy questioned, Anna only grunted in response.
' I'm in hell.' She thought to herself, soon after the food dissapeared and there was a voice from the podium, declaring the conclusion of dinner. To Anna it was a voice from an angel of mercy.
" We'll see you in the common room Harry." Hermione declared as she straightened her prefect badge. " Come on Ron!" She said, trying to get him to look away from his empty plate.
" FIRST YEARS FOLLOW ME!" She delcared as the eleven year olds swarmed around them. Anna smiled as she saw the little boy skip off towards Hermione and Ron.
As the older students paired off and made thier way out the door, Harry couldn't contian himself anymore. Anna brusehd off her robes and weaved her way through the crowd. She stopped as she felt someone grab her hand, when she looked up at her captor she frowned.
" Anna." Harry said searching her face, as if making sure she was real. Anna glared and pulled her hand away from his grasp, then turned on her heel towards the exit.
" Anna, wait." Harry said stepping infront of her, blocking her from leaving. Anna looked pass him and sneared, she then focused her attention back to Harry.
" Your girlfriend is waiting." She said harshly, brushing passed him. Harry turned to see Cho waving at him, and blowing him a kiss. Harry looked for Anna to see her already ascending the stiars.
"Harry!" Cho squealed as she tackled Harry with a bear hug. " I missed you!"
" Cho, we just saw eachother on the train." Harry said with a small smile. Cho just giggled and pulled him into her as she planted a long, kiss on his lips. Anna watched from above at the top of the stairs, she felt that small feeling of hope slowly drift away.
" So it's true." She whispered, a part of her hoped that Rita Skeeter was wrong in that aricle. Although it seemed as though for once, she reported the truth.
Anna wondered through the halls of Hogwarts as thoughts occupied her mind. She looked out the window to see the beautiful sunset replaced by the shining full moon.
'Holy crap! How long have I been gone?' She thought to herself as she looked around. She soon found she was in Slytherin territory and knew it would take a while to get back to Gryffindor tower.
' Just can't wait to see Harry.' She thought sarcastically turning the other way. It seemed as though someone read her mind as a cold voice from the corner stopped her in her tracks.
" Saint Potter, isn't so perfect is he?"
" What do you want Draco?" Anna asked without turning around.
" Just wanted to see how my favorite god sister was doing." He drawled sarcastically, stepping out of the shadows.
" I'm your only god sister." She replied wearily, facing him.
" Like the look." He said with a smirk, Anna just wanted to smack the smirk right off him.
" Like yours too, concealment charm?" She asked seeing his unbruised face, Draco's face instantly darkened.
" Show wonder boy all the little cuts and scrapes the Dark Lord gave you?" He asked harshly, Anna stepped towards him and gripped her wand in warning. Soon she dropped her hand and looked towards the window.
" What makes you think he'd care?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. Draco shrugged his shoulders and stepped closer to her.
" Are you, uhm, alright?" He asked looking at her solenm face. He wasn't very good at this whole caring and concerened thing.
" Fine, I have to go though. Wouldn't want your prefects to catch me." She replied with a sneaky smirk. Draco laughed, not cackled, laughed.
" Your looking at him." He smirked, Anna in reaction, rolled her eyes.
" Well I better leave before you dock points then." She stated as she started down the hallway. Draco gave a small smile before quickly recovering his cold demeanor.
