Chapter 3
"So there you two are." Snape said as Harry and Anna walked in. Anna gave him a glare to show him that she didn't like him at all. Snape ignored it. "So I want you two to clean out all of the cauldrons. And no wands."
Snape said this is a gleam in his eye. "What no wands? That will take all night." Anna said. "Then you two better get started." and with that Snape left the two and went to his office.
Harry and Anna looked at each other and sighed a little and went to work. 'At least I wont be doing this by myself.' Anna though as she picked up her bucket of water and Harry did the same and they started on the cauldrons.
As Anna worked on her cauldron she started thinking back to when she was back in America.
Flash Back
"Hey Anna we are going to be late for class. Hurry up." Said her best friend, Sarah.
Sarah was one of her best friends that Anna could tell anything to and know that it was kept a secret.
"I'm coming" Anna said as she got her bags ready for their second to last class of the day, Muggle History. The two sat down next to each other and started talking a bit about a guy that Anna liked.
"I am still surprised he is still one of my friends. I mean I've pushed him so hard by asking him all of those questions."
Sarah just listened to her still wondering why in the world she liked this guy. His name was Mark and to Sarah, he treated Anna like crap, but was Anna's life and Sarah wasn't going to tell her who to like and who not to.
As the two were still talking about him, Mark walked in. He had bluish-green eyes with glasses and short dark brown hair. Anna saw that he walked in and stopped talking about him.
He didn't even come up to her. He just walked right past her without a word. That hurt Anna. 'This isn't the same. What the heck did I do? Why can't it be like last year with me and him being best friends.' Anna thought as he walked past them.
Mark and Anna had done a lot when they first met. They went to the movies and saw Pirates of the Caribbean. Then they went to the fair. He had came over to her house. They were inseparable.
She stopped thinking about the past and started on her work for the day when the teacher had came in. That class was over and so she headed to her last class and that was ancient ruins.
In the hallway, her friend, Amanda had came up to her. "Hey, Anna can I talk to you?" "Sure just let me put my stuff in the classroom." She went inside and set her things in the class room and started getting her things out.
"Can we go to the bathroom?" Amanda asked. Anna thought she was acting a little weird. "Why can't you tell me here? I have to get my stuff around."
Amanda took a deep breath knowing she wouldn't like telling her what she had to say. "Did you hear about the accident?" Anna looked at her. "What accident?" 'Oh great now I have to tell her, she doesn't know.'
"Well Gloria got into a car accident." Anna just looked at her. Gloria was a very close friend to her. She was like a grandma to her. Gloria took Anna everywhere. She was an elderly lady but thought of everyone else before herself. Her house was always open to Anna whenever she need somewhere to go. It was like a home away from home.
"Is she alright?" Amanda just shook her head. 'Oh god no' Anna thought expecting the worse and it came. "Gloria was killed."
It took Anna few minutes to comprehend what she had heard. Her world just shattered around her and she started crying.
She left the class and had to call home. She got a hold of her mom and she already knew. Her mom came and got her and they went home. The next few days were hard for Anna. It didn't seem real.
Gloria's funeral was on Thursday. They went to it and that was hard for Anna to see her best friend laying in a casket when she had just talked to her over the weekend.
End of Flash Back
"Anna? Anna?" Harry asked noticed that Anna had started crying a little. She didn't even realize that she was crying. She looked at Harry as she wiped off her tears on her face. "I am fine Harry just thinking about something." "Do you want to tell me about it? You don't have to but it might help."
"It's just about my really good friend Gloria who was killed in a car crash before I came here." "I am sorry to hear that." Harry said feeling really sorry but knowing how she felt.
"Thanks" Anna smiled a little. Harry got an idea. As Anna started back at her work on the cauldron Harry took some of the soapy water from the bucket and splashed a little of it onto her.
"Hey! That's not fair." Anna said as she got some of her water and splash it onto him. And that started their little water war. Anna got closer to Harry to get him more wet but Harry grabbed her arms to stop her from it. They didn't realize how close they were. Anna finally did and stopped laughing a bit.
Harry noticed that she had stopped laughing and wondered what was wrong then realized himself how physically close they were.
They just stopped laughing and looked at each other. 'This is weird. He isn't moving away.' Anna thought as she looked at him. He started moving closer.
'Oh god! He is moving closer. What am I going to do!' As he moved closer she heard the door open. "You two are suppose to be cleaning this place!" They both got away from each other quickly and looked at Snape. "Get back to work!" That was the first time that Anna was actually happy to see Snape.
The two got back to work in silence. It's not that Anna didn't like Harry but she was kind of afraid to like him. She was afraid that he might treat her like Mark had.
Before Anna moved, Mark acted like he liked Anna. Anna figured out that he was just playing around with her. He never really liked her. He just liked to play with her emotions.
Flash Back
"He likes you." Jason said. Anna just looked at him like he was crazy. "Listen to me. I
know he does. He looks at you all the time that you're not looking and he talks about you a lot."
Anna just looked at him. "Yeah right. He doesn't like me. If he did then why is he treating me like this."
Mark was ignoring her and everything and acting like he hated her. She did notice him just staring at her but she wasn't so sure. "Trust me he likes you" "Okay but I am not sure"
Anna walked around and her Mark and his other friends talking. "God I cant stand Anna. I mean she is so annoying." Anna heard that and it was Mark's voice. She was mad at him and left.
She told her friends about it and they told her to move on. It hurt to do that but she had to. That is why she was glad she moved away.
End of Flash Back
Anna just looked at Harry praying that he wouldn't treat her like that. She just watched him finishing his cauldrons and was happy he was there for her.
They finished up the cauldrons and cleaned everything up. "Hey Anna, I am sorry about before when Snape came in, when I moved closer to you and umm..." Anna noticed he was getting nervous about the subject.
"It's fine I don't mind." They smiled at each other and dropped the subject. Now Anna really liked him because he was being so considerate.
