Hello readers!

Again with my in ability to update this story quickly! I do so apologize. I got distracted by a novel I started writing my senior year of high school and finally finished and have now started a second novel. Exciting I know.

On top of all of that I moved back to Oregon to find a job so I can go to school to become a tattoo artist.

Anyways enjoy.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Long Distance Love

Anastasia's POV

I sat on my bed across from Keisha working on Herbology homework. Being a Seventh year sucks. We have more homework, and N.E.W.T.s to study for, not to mention we have to have a plan for after graduation, and I have quiditch practive four times a week and matches on weekends. I sighed flopping against my pillow trying to focus.

"I hate this year. How do you do it?" I groaned rolling over looking at Keisha. She just looked at me blankly,

"What are you talking about?" She questioned irritated that I wasn't studying like I was supposed to be.

"How is it you can study for classes and N.E.W.T.s, do your homework and get good grades on it, have a post graduation plan already, plan a huge pureblood wedding, and still find time to party?" I asked, Keisha shrugged,

"Having Henry around helps, he's my study buddy, and helps me plan the wedding." I raised an eyebrow,

"Is that studying, or is that studying." I asked making the second 'study' especially suggestive wagging my eye brows at her,

"You brat!" Keisha gasped throwing a pillow at me, "And for your information it's a good mixture of both." I giggled, yeah; I'm definitely jealous and definitely missing Ian. He's been busy working at the ministry with his internship. He was working towards becoming an ambassador for the UK Ministry. "So how are things with you and Ian?" She asked looking back down at the paper she was writing for DADA.

"Things are good. I just miss him." She laughed,

"He owls you every day; how can you miss him?" she teased I threw the pillow back at her exasperated,

"Because a letter isn't the same thing as seeing him and having him hold me, and actually being around like we were able to do over the summer." Keisha smiled at me sadly, I think she understands since she didn't really get to see Henry over the summer.

"I know I'm sorry." I nodded my head looking down at my Herbology paper. "So you better be my maid of honor." I looked up at her raising an eyebrow,

"Shouldn't that be Celena or Apolline?" I questioned, "Hell or even Minnie?" She flitted her hand no big deal,

"I don't want one of them to be my maid of honor, I want it to be you." I laughed,

"Why's that?" I asked she stuck her tongue out at me,

"Because Vice wouldn't look very good in a dress." I laughed she was right, Vice would not look very good in a dress,

"Okay so who else is in this wedding party?" I asked closing my herbology book and moving on to my desk where Ian's owl had just flown in with a letter for me.

"Minnie, Celena, Apolline, Tessa, Lexy, and You." I raised an eye brow walking over to the bed,

"Wow, this will be a big wedding party." She shrugged,

"Yeah I know." I sat down on the bed reading the letter. It was mostly just a rundown of his day, asking me what I did during his day and telling me he missed me and loved me dearly. I grabbed a piece of parchment and wrote back a letter telling him about my own day. How stressful things are. I told him I miss him and that I love him. I also told him I couldn't wait for Christmas break.

"So can I ask you something?" Keisha asked looking up from her paper as I sent the owl back with my response than started getting ready for Quiditch practice.

"Sure if you must." I said pulling off my jeans, and t-shirt, sliding my sports bra on over my push up bra.

"Have you and Ian had sex yet?" she asked not even looking up from her paper. I rolled my eyes pulling on my Quidditch gear, of course Keisha would ask that.

"No, we haven't sheesh. I only got my first kiss just a few months ago. We're taking things slow."

"Well that's good, you don't need that kind of drama." I chuckled knowing what she meant. Not everyone stays together. She'd been through five boyfriends before Henry and Celena is still dating and up to her seventh boyfriend. "Do you think you two will stay together?" She asked I smiled to myself,

"I really hope we do, I love him, and he's such a great guy." She sighed dramatically placing her hand over her heart,

"Aye, young love!" She swooned dramatically, Keisha can be the biggest drama queen when she wants to be.

"I'm going to Quidditch practice, I'll be back later." I told her swinging my practice bag over my shoulder.
