With that said Anna left for the dormitory and Harry decided to write Sirius a letter.
Snuffles,
I met your precious Anna today. There is something about that girl. I was wondering if you could tell me. Oh! I'm sorry about not really saying good-bye back at the station in London. I hope to hear from you soon.
Harry.
With letter in hand, Harry started to leave for the owlery when he was stopped.
"A bit early to be writing to Snuffles isn't it?" It was Hermione. "It's about her isn't it?" she scoffed at Harry.
"Yes, I just want him to know she's ok. That's all," Harry said as Hermione walked down the stairs.
"But she's not ok," Hermione said almost at a whisper. "There is something very weird about her. I know I should get to know her better but, Harry, I think that girl is bad news."
"That's why I'm writing this letter. Maybe Snuffles will have something to tell us," He then left for the owlery. He gave the letter to Hedwig and watched her fly off into the starry sky.
When he got back to the Common Room it was very empty and very late. He decided just to go to bed.
The next morning Harry went down to the Great Hall for the first breakfast of the year. He found Ron and Hermione already down there.
"Morning," he said as he took a seat next to Ron. "Have you seen Anna yet this morning? I need to talk to her."
"She's having a little chat with Snape," Ron said pointing to the teacher's table. Sure enough there was Anna and Snape talking about something as if they were old friends. Harry thought he actually thought Snape was even smiling.
"I wonder what that's about," Harry said as he turned back to the table.
"Who knows," said Ron, "She's not mad at me about yesterday is she?"
"No Ron, I don't think she is," he replied as he filled his cup with juice. Just then a happy Anna skipped over.
"Good morning everyone!" She chirped happily as she flashed everyone a smile. No one said anything about Snape.
"Morning Anna," Harry said while grabbing some food.
"Yes, morning," Ron said with his mouth full of food.
"Come on!" Hermione said looking at her watch, "We have class!" For once Hermione was actually excited.
The first day went pretty smooth. They had Herbology, then Charms, then Care of Magical Creatures, then Transfiguration, then Potions. Potions took the longest, mostly because they didn't get to sit by Anna. As soon as they entered the Dungeon, Anna was whisked away by Crabbe and Goyle. After class Harry was just going to retreat to the Common Room. It was only their first day back and already he had plenty of homework. He was walking away with Ron and Hermione when he heard Anna.
"Draco, No!" she shouted. They were fighting and Malfoy had a grab of her arm.
"Let's just go then!" Malfoy shouted at her.
"I don't want to go!" she shouted back. Harry decided to butt in.
"What's going on here?" Harry asked Malfoy.
"Nothing that concerns you Potter. Right Anna?" As he said that he twisted her wrist and she winced a little.
"Well now it involves me Malfoy," Harry said as he approached him. Malfoy let Anna go, but she was then grabbed by Crabbe and Goyle.
"Listen Potter, how I treat my girlfriend is none of your business," Malfoy spat at him.
"It does when she's my friend," He snapped back.
"Well Potter, do you even know who your friend is?" He smirked at Harry.
"Draco NO!" Anna screamed. Harry just looked straight at Malfoy.
"You're little friend here..."
"DRACO! Please let's just go!" Anna said now begging him.
"She is the anti-Potter!" he said amused with himself.
"Harry!" Anna shouted as she wriggled herself free.
"I don't understand..." Harry mumbled to himself. Anna ran up to him.
"Just go talk to Dumbledore. He'll tell you everything," Just then Snape walked out of the Dungeon.
"What is with all the yelling?" he asked the group. He saw Anna's wrist, looking rather red, as she tried to cover it.
"Just shedding some light Professor. We were just leaving. Right Anna?" Malfoy said as he reached for her hand.
"Yes, we were," she said quietly as she went over to Malfoy. Seeing he wasn't getting any real answers, Snape returned to his classroom. Harry just stood there. He then realized that Ron and Hermione had been there the entire time.
"I think you better go see Dumbledore Harry," Hermione said as she looked into his eyes.
Without saying a word Harry walked towards his office. When he got there he started reciting different candied for the password. It finally opened on Chocolate Frogs. Harry walked into the familiar office. He stopped to look at things and pet Fawkes. Finally Dumbledore came in.
"Harry, and what do I owe this unexpected visit to?" he said in his usual concerned tone.
"Anna and Malfoy were fighting and…"
"Are they alright?" Dumbledore interrupted.
"They are fine. It's just that Malfoy said something about Anna. He called her the anti-Potter."
"I was expecting this, just not so soon. Please have a seat," he said as he took a seat himself.
"Well, what does it mean?" Harry questioned him.
"Harry, the anti-Potter is someone that Voldemort's followers believe will help him defeat you."
"But why Anna?" Harry interrupted.
"Because of her mother," Dumbledore sighed.
"She never lets anyone talk about her mother," Harry mumbled.
"And for a good reason. Harry, what I have to say might shock you. Anna's mother is Melinda Riddle. Anna is Voldemort's granddaughter," Harry just stood up.
"No!" He shouted. Before Dumbledore could explain anymore he had already ran out of the office and was on his way to the Gryffindor Common Room.
