It didn't take Anna long to get used to Hogwarts - the trick steps, the moving portraits, and the whispers that followed her everywhere. She had lots of help from Harry and Ron. Ron helped her around the school, and helped introduce her to the wizarding world. Harry and Anna did a lot of catching up and talked a lot about their strange fame and the things that came with it.

Hermione spent an awful lot of time in the library. She didn't seem to like hanging around with them at all.

"That's just Hermione," said Ron one day, "that's what she does."

"I don't know-she's not just going to the library. She seems so - distant." Said Harry.

They were lying on the top of a small hill right over the lake on a Friday afternoon. It was right under a magnolia tree, it was their favourite spot- nice shade, but some nice sunlight, and a beautiful view of the lake. Anna was playing with her long red hair (which just reached her waist) lying on the grass. She looked just like her mother. Long red hair, bright green eyes, and tall-although not as tall as Ron. Her and Harry were pretty much the same height.

Ron was twirling a magnolia flower in his hands with a dreamy expression on his face-he didn't seem to be on earth. Harry was leaning against the tree, reading Quidditch Through the Ages 2. Ron noticed Anna looking with great interest at the players on the book, flying and zooming all over the cover.

"I can teach you if you want." said Ron.

"Huh?" said Anna, completely confuzzled.

"How to fly." Said Ron, "I can teach you, if you want."

"Yeah." Anna smiled. "That would be cool."
