Chapter 5: Anna's Commons with the Others

The following day things were back as usual. After breakfast, Harry, Ron and Hermione went to see their schedule. Their mood turn black when they knew their first lesson was the Potion lesson, and was with Slytheirn.

'What? At the beginning of a wonderful day, we have to go for two Potion lessons with Slytherin!' Ron shouted.

'Calm down, Ron! Things might not be that bad.' Hermione tried to think in an optimistically way.

'Yea, may be. I just can't imagine how many points of Gryffindor will be taken away by Snape.' Harry said desperately.

'Cheer up, Harry.' A new voice said. They turned and looked, it was Anna Lusiam. Ron hid behind Harry at once, Hermione back a bit. Only Harry did not, because he knew nothing about the Lusiams.

'How could I cheer up?' Harry told her.

'Everyday is a new day, may be this new year you'll be friends will Slytherin.'

'You must be joking!' Harry laughed, 'yea may be, but definitely not with Malfoy!' Harry smiled friendly towards Anna, which made Hermione, Ron and the other students passing by worried. They all thought, Anna might be a spy of Voldemort to kill Harry.

Anna replied a smile.

'Anyway, it's an honor to talk with you. After all is you who killed Voldemort…oh…' she covered her mouth with her hand at once, looking sorry.

'Hermione, she had said the name of You-Know-Who!' Ron said.

'What… what did you just said?' Harry asked. He was not really sure did he hear the right world. As he know, in the world only Dumbledore and him would dare to say the name of the Dark Lord.

'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…I'm sorry...' Anna lowered her head a bit.

'Holy smoke she dare to say the name of Whom-Who-Should-Not-Be-Named!' a student who was passing by said.

'You are really brave, Anna!' Harry said.

'Thank you.' Anna's face blushed at once.

Then some higher year students walked towards Anna. One of them said, 'She is not a spy of You-Know-Who. I'm sure! Because if she is she would not dare to say his name.' Then one by one they shook hands with her. Some Gryffindor students went to re-welcome her to be sorted in Gryffindor. Even Ron, he then dared to speak with her, 'Welcome Anna!'

But Hermione, she did not agree with the others, she said to Harry and Ron when the three of them were alone, 'Listen, if she is a spy of You-Know-Who, You-Know-Who must have given her the right to say his name. That's why she dares to say his name!'

'That's just an "if".' Ron said.

'Besides, how do you explain that she's being sorted into Gryffindor?' Harry asked.

'Well… You-Know-Who might have put some charms into that hat.' Hermione was not sure about that.

'No, it can't be! First, how could he get in? Second, how could he put a charm on controlling the hat to say, "Lusiam Anna belongs to Gryffindor!"? I bet not even Professor Dumbledore could do that!' Hermione got nothing to say.

After Harry found out Anna dared to say 'Voldemort.' He later found more commons between them. Such as Harry was a fine seeker, so to Anna. Wood even joked if something happened to Harry that he could not go to a competition, he would surely find Anna as the Gryffindor seeker. Also both Harry and Anna loved Quidditch a lot. And both of them hate Malfoy and Professor Snape, they both said Malfoy and Professor Snape were very mean, Anna even said Malfoy was like a little baby at home, which it made Harry kept on laughing. Anna and Ron had common, too! It was they both were afraid of spiders! Anna said that was why she got a cat as a pet, because cat will kill all the spiders. Anna and Hermione had common too, but Hermione denied it. The common between them was they were both serious about the school rules, and when a quiz was coming, they would study very hard.
