After Harry finished packing his trunk, he curiously picked up the
letter from Ron again. He sat down on the edge of his bed and read Ron's
scraggly scroll:
Harry, Dad's friend from the ministry just returned from an exchange program in France. His daughter is starting year 6 with us, her name is Anna. She's really cool; she's staying with us while Anna's dad is moving stuff back into their huge house. Get this: Anna was here the whole time since our 4th year, but then she went to France while we were in our 5th year. I'll see you tomorrow a King's Cross, and Anna and Hermione will be there with everyone else. See you soon, Ron
Harry scanned his brain for any vague memory of Anna. Anna....Anna Harry thought. Then he remembered, Anna sat in back of Defense against the Dark Arts when Professor Moody taught. He never saw her, but remembered hearing her name a lot. Well, he'd just have to wait until tomorrow.
BACK AT THE WEASLEY'S
Mrs. Weasley knocked on the door of the room Anna was staying in. Anna was standing over her trunk, flipping slowly through a photo album. She put it down and muttered, "Come in." Mrs. Weasley stepped in, still holding the door. "Anna, dinner is ready." Mrs. Weasley left the room.
Anna slipped her flip-flops on her feet and made her way downstairs, lost in the scent of Mrs. Weasley's delicious cooking. Anna brushed her hair away from her face as she helped Mrs. Weasley set the table. Anna wiped her hands and then took a seat next to Ginny, as bowl and plates of food were passed around.
At the table, everyone shared laughs and giggles as night-time officially approached. Then Mrs. Weasley looked at the children and told them to go to bed. "You'll need a good night's sleep, your waking early tomorrow." Fred and George and Anna stayed to put the bowls and dishes away while the rest made their way up the stairs. "Goodnight," Anna said with a yawn as she put her foot on the first stair.
