Ana stayed in her dorm room for the rest of Saturday and Sunday. The only one she talked to was Hermione who was out to Hogsmeade with Ron, Harry, Fred, and George most of the day on Sunday. So Ana stayed in bed and read and looked through photo albums of her friends from Cathearts. Sure, Fred, Percy, Harry, Hermione, George, Jennie and everyone else was great but she missed Clarrisa, Isabel, Gremla, Sara, and Holly from NY.
Late on Sunday Hermione burst into the room with a smile as big as a boat.
"Was it terribly fun?" asked Ana.
"It was loads of fun!" shouted Hermione, dropping bags of candy, supplies, and joke stuff on her bed.
"I should have come. I just...I just miss my friends. Not that you guys aren't great," replied Ana, as Daisy curled up under Rose and Iris who in turn scratched Ana to get again comfortable.
"Ron got you these," said Hermione, laying flowers on the bed. "This is from me," said Hermione placing a large plastic mug of butterbeer next to her bed on the nightstand. "This is from Percy. He gave it to me before I came up here," she placed a bag of seven or eight chocolate frogs on the bed. "George got this for you," as she placed a bag of bubblegum on her bed. "Harry got this for you," said Hermione dropping a box of All Flavor Beans on the bed. Hermione started dumping all the things she bought for herself onto the bed.
"Thanks, Hermione. And Fred?" asked Ana
"Well, he didn't give me anything to give you," said Hermione.
"Oh." Ana figured it wasn't a big deal. He gave her a big kiss. That was enough for her. "I think I'll go find him." Ana got dressed and walked out the door. She walked down the spiral stairs. Harry, Ron and George were sitting at a table playing Wizards Chess. George was coaching Harry, who wasn't very good. Ana sat down next to Ron.
"Thanks for the presents you guys. I love the beans and the gum and Ron, I am going to get a vase right now. So...who's winning?" asked Ana.
"I am," said Harry with a snicker and Ron.
"Because of my intellect," said Fred.
"Uh...do you know where Fred is?" asked Ana.
"Yeah...he's in the room still. He got a lot of trick stuff to unpack," said Ron.
"Do you think he'd mind if I went up to see him?" asked Ana.
"Go ahead. His bed is the one in the back," said Fred. "Oh yeah, it's the third door up the hall."
"Thanks," replied Ana as she ran up the stairs to his room. She saw a sign on the door that read 'Fifth Years'. She knocked.
"Who is it?" asked Fred's familiar voice. She wasn't sure she should answer. Did he want to see her? "Who is it?" he asked again. She heard him coming to the door. She ran up a few stairs so he couldn't see her. He opened the door and looked around. "Hello-o," he said. She sat with his voice just going through her head over and over. She knocked again.
"Yes?" he asked again. "COME-IN!"
Ana came in.
"Hello, Ana," he said, looking back down at his things.
"I don't wanna stay for this," said Lee Jordan as he walked out the door quickly.
"What was that about?" asked Ana.
"Uh...I went to Hogsmeade today," he said.
"Yeah I know," she said as she hugged him. He squeezed out of her grip. She looked at him confused.
"Uh...well I met this...this girl in Hogsmeade. She's in Hufflepuff. She's a fifth year," started Fred.
"Oh. I see. I'm sorry I bothered you up here. I...I appreciate your kindness for the past few days. I better be going," she said as she walked toward and opened the door. She looked back at him. He was still looking at his bag of things. "Good-bye...Fred." He didn't look up but nodded.
She walked out of the room and down the stairs. Harry and Ron watched her walk out the portrait hole and run down the stairs. It was still light out. She went to the lake. The man her parents were with in the bar was there, Hagrid.
" 'ello there. What er yeh doin'?" he asked.
"I'm sad," she replied.
"What fer?" he asked.
"My boyfriend just broke up with me. He met someone else in Hogsmeade."
"Ooh, thet's too bad. Who was 'e?" asked Hagrid.
"Fred...Weasley."
"That boy is a bad influence anyway," he said. "Who'd 'e dump yeh fer?" asked Hagrid.
"Some Hufflepuff girl," she said as she skipped a stone on the lake.
"Ah. Adrian Hivanet. No offense to 'er but she looks like a caterpillar crawled onto her fore 'ead. An' a squirrel curled up on her head. I knew cause she and Fred were prancin' around Hogsmeade. I'm serry fer yeh," he said as Ana furiously threw another rock at the water. "You should go en talk to 'im."
"Why?" asked Ana.
"I saw him yesterday an' he looked so 'appy with yeh. I saw him with Adrian and he looked bored. Although I saw 'im kiss 'er," Hagrid said.
"Uh...did they post the new quidditch casers yet?" asked Ana.
"Yeh. They're in McGonagall's office. Its yeh and I think 'er name was Jennie summat."
"Oh! YES! I cant' wait to start!" yelled Ana as she stood up and ran to her common room. "Thanks Hagrid! You're the best!" She opened the oak doors and walked into the hall. She saw Hermione rushing to the library. Ana jumped the stairs by two's. She rushed through the portrait hole and ran through the common room. She ran directly into Fred.
"Sorry, Fred!" she said. She ran to her room. He ran after her.
"ANA!" he yelled. She stopped where she was and looked at him happily.
"Yeah?" she asked, suddenly remembering he had dumped her after going out with her for a day. She looked at her feet again.
"I made a mistake. I want you back. Adrian was just a thought. I really want you. I heard your voice and saw your happy face when you came in and I want you. Not Unibrow Adrian."
"I'm sorry but if I had gone to Hogsmeade, met a guy, and kissed him in public. Then hours later come back and broken up with you for him, you'd be a little pissed. Then what if I said,' It was a mistake. I just put you through misery for nothing. Now you can hug me.' What would you do? Would you go back out with me?" she asked.
"Yes?" he tried. She closed her eyes. Before she opened them she felt his hands on her arms. She pulls away from him.
"I'll have to think about that one while you go straighten your priorities out."
Late on Sunday Hermione burst into the room with a smile as big as a boat.
