I tried to tie some loose ends from the series in this one too so don't get to surprised.
Chapter 2 The meeting
The trio sat in the great hall while doing their potions essay, Snape kept a close watch on them, Ron and Harry were specially getting on his nerves, they were babbling on about not having dates for the ball, and suddenly Miss Granger handed in her work and stormed out.
While she passed she almost pushed a very absentminded Anna who had just stood up to head out of the room herself, Hermione didn't so much as look at her so Anna traced back to were she had come from to try and explain the source of this girl's distress.
There, close to were the girl had sat were the Weasley twins, she had cringed at the idea that maybe one of them was the one from her vision, for she knew them all too well, but quickly threw out the idea for their hair wasn't exactly a match to what she saw. Suddenly she saw him, another ginger sitting near the twins, another Weasley, she saw the vision once more in her head and sat back down as it hit her, it was him, his name was Ron, she had heard of him, mostly out of her class mates saying he was Harry Potter's best friend and that he always got into trouble.
"Well might as well see if I'm right" she thought and quickly headed his way, while discreetly pulling out her wand and making a nonverbal charm that made whole Slytherin table start laughing uncontrollably, Snape quickly headed over there leaving the Gryffindor table unsupervised, she swiftly sat down at the spot Hermione had left, and everyone stared as she quickly proceeded.
"Hi, Ron" she smiled kindly.
Ron took several seconds to get the point that she was speaking to him, she was a very pretty girl not much taller than Hermione, he thought he had seen her once or twice before but really couldn't place where, she had very straight long golden hair parted so that it covered part of one of her stunning aqua colored eyes, her skin was almost alabastery white for the exception of her cheeks which were flushed in a pretty pink color. He was trying and failing horribly to reply when she cut him off explaining.
"I'm sorry, that's so rude off me, my name is Anna Holmes, I know you don't know me, but I would like to have a chance to change that, I was wondering if you would like to go to the ball with me?"
Ron was still speechless, he had just told Harry that they would have to find partners by the end of the day and was now turning a shade of pink achievable only by him, his brothers interceded.
"Sure, Anna he'd love to" said George
"Lovely to see you as always" winked Fred motioning to the Slyterin table who was now settling down with Snape looking particulary menacing.
"Great" she smiled back at Ron who was still speechless, "Then I'll see you around" she got up in one motion as she saw Snape heading back, she turned around and winked at the twins as she whispered "Thanks guys", and headed back to her table.
"What was that all about!" asked Harry bewildered who had been sitting with his mouth open the entire time.
"That!" stated the twins "Was Anna Holmes."
"Who the hell is Anna Holmes?" asked a more confused Harry.
"It's not who the hell mate"
"It's what the hell"
Ron and Harry just looked more and more confused each second.
The twins just looked annoyed at their ignorance.
"She's a legend, a living legend, and we still haven't been able to figure her out yet"
"It's as she has powers beyond our comprehension, she can get away with murder if she wanted and nobody would know who to blame."
"What!" whimpered a now somewhat scared Ron.
"Not like that you git, it's well difficult to explain"
"For example..."
"She knew we had the marauders map, and she was the one who showed us how to use it"
"Not only that, when we asked her how she knew about it, she only winked at us and told us she really couldn't say"
"We assumed she had it before we did and that Filch had taken it from her"
"But then after that we watched her for a while on the map and we discovered something even weirder, she would almost never be were she was supposed to, she could be wandering around in Filch's office, with Filch in there for all she cared and would not get caught"
"At first we thought she had an invisibility cloak but, then there were things that just didn't match..."
"Like what?" asked an Harry intrigued.
"Well she would just vanish from the map and appear in a different floor, like if she could apparate within the school"
"How can that be?" Asked Ron.
"Well, that little brother will be for you to find out"
"It's amazing she asked you out, Merlin knows we've tried for years to get an opportunity like that to know her secrets" they both stood up and patted their little brother back.
"Well" Ron smiled, "at least she was cute."
