For four weeks Anna had been stuck in the hospital ward. Hermione came every day, bringing Anna's homework. "Exams will be here before we know it, we have to study so that we can be prepared."
Anna rolled her eyes. Apparently being injured didn't mean that she could escape homework. Then she heard about how Harry and Hermione had snuck a dragon out of the castle.
"How could you be so stupid?!" Anna berated them as they walked from the hospital wing to their common room after Madame Pomfrey had dismissed Anna after telling her that she had to come back every day so she could make sure Anna had fully healed from the Cruciatus Curse.
"We had the invisibility cloak." Harry said, trying to calm Anna down as Hermione flinched at her sharp tone.
"That doesn't matter!" Anna shouted. "You had a dragon! You two could have severely injured yourselves! What were you even doing with a dragon anyways? How did you get a dragon?"
"It was Hagrid's." Hermione explained. "It took us ages to convince him to get rid it."
Anna sighed softly. "How do you lot always manage to get into so much trouble?"
"It must be the Potter genes." Harry laughed lightly. "Hermione's just along for the ride."
Anna rolled her eyes, but she was smiling, so the two knew that they had been forgiven. Apparently they had lost Gryffindor a huge amount of points as well. Anna recognized the looks that students gave Harry; she had received many of those herself when they had thought that she had staged the attack on Fred. Anna didn't understand why people were treating Harry so harshly. Sure he had lost their house some points, but it wasn't as if it was a matter of life and death.
"Just ignore them." She advised Harry. "That's what I had to do."
"I don't know how you did it." Harry said as they sat down on the couch.
"It was hard." Anna admitted. "Really hard actually. Just remember that the people that matter know the truth, and that's all that really counts."
"I'll try."

Exams came and went, and Anna was relieved to find out that she had passed second year Transfiguration with flying colors. She had passed History of Magic as well, despite sleeping through half of the classes. But then, so had every student besides Hermione and a few of the Ravenclaws. Anna had barely passed Potions, but really did anyone that wasn't a Slytherin. Hermione naturally passed everything with high marks.
Now that exams were over with, Anna had time to try and find out more about Adriana Petrival, not that she was able to find out much more about her than she already had besides Adriana's early history, and even then it wasn't a lot.
Adriana had lived a somewhat sad life. She was an only child, her mother had died giving birth to her. Her mother's death had utterly destroyed her father, and Adriana wound up having to work all hours to support them both. Then one day Adriana came home to find their house in flames. Her father was so desperate to be reunited with his love that he had set his house on fire and he died in the tragic incident. This was supposedly when Adriana had turned dark. She had supposedly gone on a rampage,killing nearly an entire village of druids before fleeing and going into hiding for years before having her final, fatal showdown with Merlin.
Something about it all just didn't click with Anna. Yes, what had happened to Adriana's father had been terrible, but Anna didn't think that it would make someone to essentially go crazy and kill a whole village of people. It just didn't make any sense. She shook her head as she left the library, almost running right into Cedric.
"What's got your head in the clouds?" He asked, chuckling as he looked down at her.
"Sorry." Anna's cheeks flushed in embarrassment. "I was just thinking about something."
"I could tell." Cedric yelped as Anna hit his arm. "Damn Potter, you've got quite an arm there, you would make a pretty good Beater."
"Yeah right. Like Fred or George would ever give up their position to me."
"That's true," Cedric admitted. "I can't really see them doing that either."
Neither of them really had anything to do, so they just walked around the castle and talked. "I'm sorry I didn't come to see you when you were in the hospital wing." Cedric apologized as they walked.
"It's alright." Anna said as she shook her head. "Between Hermione, Ron, Harry, and the twins, I've had a lot of visitors to keep me occupied. You wouldn't believe how many times Madame Pomfrey shooed the twins away."
"Let me guess. She insisted that you needed your rest?"
"You've had experience with her?" Anna asked and Cedric laughed as he nodded. "Being on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team gives you the chance of having that delightful experience."
Anna laughed as well. She had missed this while she had been laid up. She felt like she could talk about anything with Cedric, and he wouldn't judge her for who she was.
"Oi, Diggory!" A fifth year Slytherin named Jack Livingston sneered at them. Jack Livingston had raven colored hair and icy blue eyes. "Found yourself a new girlfriend? Kind of young for you isn't she?"
Anna groaned quietly. Was this seriously going to start up again?
"Shove off Livingston." Cedric snapped. "I'm trying to have a private conversation with my friend."
"Are you sure that's all she is?" Jack said with a scoff.
"I've had just about enough of this." Anna growled as she stormed up to Jack. "Listen here, you pervert. I am only eleven. I'm not even remotely interested in having a relationship with anyone! And the next person to suggest that I am is going to wind up with a black eye!" She stalked away, Cedric right on her tail, and they left a stunned Jack behind.
