Chapter 6
I do not own Harry Potter in any way.
"Mum, where's Anya?" Fred asked.
"Remus wanted to take her", Molly told him.
"But mum, it's her first time. She's got to be scared out of her wits", George said.
"If we leave now, you may see her on the platform", Molly told them.
Fred and George turned to Ron.
"If you see Anya, keep her with you", Fred told him.
"Don't let Draco get a hold of her", George said.
Anya wandered the train looking for someone to sit with. She came across Ron and a dark headed boy. "Could I sit here?" she asked.
"Sure", Ron said, "This is Harry".
"I know", she said sitting down; "I'm Anastasia Lupin".
"Whoa. You guys look a lot alike", Ron said.
It was true. The only thing different about Anya and Harry was the fact that Anya had gray eyes.
"So, do you go by Anastasia?" Harry asked.
"Ugh, no. Most people just give me nicknames", Anya said.
"But I think Anastasia is a beautiful name", Harry said.
Anya blushed.
"Sure. If you want to be compared to a dead Russian princess", Ron said.
The sweets cart came by and Harry bought us lots of candy and snacks.
"Thanks, but I could've afforded to help", Anya said.
"It was my treat", Harry said.
Anya giggled as Harry and Ron talked about Berti Botts Every Flavor Beans.
Ron looked down at his rat. "This is Scabbers by the way. Pathetic isn't he?" Ron asked.
"Just a little bit", Harry answered.
Anya hated Ron's rat. She hated that thing ever since Percy got it.
"Fred gave me a spell used to turn him yellow. Want to see?" Ron asked.
Anya laughed knowing the spell wasn't going to work.
"Yeah", Harry said.
Ron cleared his throat and got ready to say the spell.
Suddenly, a girl with mousy brown hair stopped at the compartment. "Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville's lost one", she said.
"No", Ron said.
"Oh. Are you doing magic? Let's see then", she said smugly.
Anya glared at the girl.
"Sunshine, daisies, bottom mellow. Turn this stupid fat rat yellow", Ron said.
Nothing happened.
Anya burst out laughing.
"Why you laughing?" Ron asked.
"Because Ron…I knew that spell wouldn't work", Anya said.
"Are you sure that's a real spell. Well, it's not very good is it? Of course, I've only tried a few simple ones myself, but they only work for me", the girl said. She took a seat across from Harry and placed her wand in front of his face.
Harry's eyes went wide.
"For example: Oculus Reparo", she said.
The crack in Harry's glasses fixed itself.
"That's better isn't it? Holy cricket! You're Harry Potter!" she exclaimed, "I'm Hermione Granger. And you two are?"
"Anastasia Lupin", Anya spat.
"I'm Ron Weasley", Ron said with a mouthful of chocolate.
"Pleasure. You three had better be changing into robes. I expect we'll be arriving soon", she said getting up to leave; "You've got dirt on your nose. Did you know? Just there".
Ron rubbed the side of his nose, but it didn't come off.
Anya got up and grabbed her robes, hoping she wouldn't run into that Hermione girl.
"How did you know it wasn't going work?" Ron asked her.
"Easy. I helped him come up with it", Anya said smirking.
