Chapter 4
Anastasia's POV
The next morning, I woke up to laughter floating around in the room.
As I opened the curtain of my bed, I couldn't help but let out a groan as the bright light pierced my eyes. In that moment I did the most unworthy thing considering my title - I flopped back down on my bed and pulled the comforter above my head.
"You know, if you get up now you can have more time to get ready and impress Cedric Diggory," I heard someone say above me, "Although, he did looked pretty astonished last night when he had you on his lap."
Too curious to know the owner of the voice, I pulled back my blanket and looked up to see a brunette with brown eyes and Alexandr in her arms.
"What makes you think that I want to impress him?"
"Well, I could start with how much you blushed last night and I could also..." I had to interrupt her, I was starting to blush.
"Okay, okay, I get it. I blushed so much I turned the same color as my hair. By the way, I'm Anastasia Romanov." I said as I offered my hand to shake hers.
"Katie Bell," she said as she shook my hand. "And everyone knows your name, who wouldn't know the name of the girl that made an spectacle by entering through a window?"
I flopped back on my bed with a groan as she finished talking.
"C'mon, you don't want to make Cedric Diggory wait, do you? No you don't, so go get ready." Katie practically pulled me out of bed and commanded me into the bathroom. "Oh! And Stasia?" She said as I almost closed the bathroom's door.
"Yes?"
"I wouldn't say you blushed the same color as your hair," Thank god, "Maybe a deeper shade but definitively not the color of your hair." She topped it of with a smile.
"Thanks Katie, I certainly wanted to know that." I said with a shake of my head.
"I know." Was the response she gave me.
Oh dear...

Cedric's POV
Anxious.
That's how I felt this morning. That's how I acted. Anxious. I couldn't stop and turn every time the door to the Great Hall was opened. Every time it wasn't her, I would turn back to my breakfast with a face full of disappointment. I knew Eddie realized how I felt and gratefully he didn't mention anything.
I may have exploded due to nerves if he did.
I heard the sound of the door opening and I looked back to see a group of first year Gryffindor girls. As I scanned every single one of their faces I didn't see her face so I ended up turning back to my to keep glaring at my breakfast.
"Mate, she might come if you stop turning back to look for her, isn't there a term for that? Did it start with a K? Huh? I'll get back to you on that." I heard Eddie say.
"Maybe you're right. Okay, next time I hear the sound of the door opening I won't look back."
As I finished saying this I heard the sound of the door opening. I felt my body tense up. I needed to see if she was there - Get a hold of yourself Diggory! Inhale, exhale. Repeat.
As I calmed myself down I asked Eddie if she had walked in.
"Yes."
"Really?!" I asked as I turned around to catch a glimpse of her.
"No but I made you look." He said as he chuckled.
"Edward Lewis, I swear on my broomstick that you will pay for that." I said as threateningly as I could muster under all the anxiousness I felt.
Due to me being preoccupied with threatening Eddie's well being, I didn't hear the door open.
"She just walked in." I heard Eddie say.
"No, I'm not falling for that again."
"Mate, I'm telling you, she just walked in with some Gryffindor girl."
"Really?" I asked skeptically.
"Yes, just turn around and see for yourself." He said as he gestured wildly to the table next to ours.
"Okay."
That's when I spotted her sitting with a group of girls. She was talking and laughing along with them as if they had know each other all of their lives. I couldn't help but smile at the happiness reflected in her eyes. It was as if they were glowing. They were such a radiant blue, I just wanted to get closer to see them better.
And that's when my smile turned into a frown. As I had basked in her beauty, both Weasley twins had gotten up from their seats and sat down next to her.
I didn't realize I was standing up and walking over to where she was sitting until I was already in her line of vision.
This is going to be interesting.

Anastasia's POV
A couple of minutes earlier
As I was sitting with Katie and two girls she introduced me to, Angelina Johnson and Alicia Spinnet, I felt two pairs of arms slide on my shoulders.
"How's our dear Ana," Fred started and George continued.
"Stasia feeling on this lovely morning?"
"Fred! George!" Alicia and Angelina exclaimed as the twins pushed them to sit next to me.
"I'm Gred," said the twin to my right.
"And I'm Forge, please get it right next time," the twin to my left finished.
I couldn't help but chuckle at their nicknames.
"Whatever you call yourselves, we were eating when we were so rudely interrupted." Angelina said to whom I believed to be Fred.
"Oh! Is Stasia's not so secret admirer staring too much to handle?"
"What?" I finally entered the conversation.
"Look at poor Diggory over in the Hufflepuff table." The twin on my left said.
"The boy practically has had his eyes glued on you the entire time." The twin on my right continued. "But does it matter, Gred? His eyes are dreamy."
"And he's so cute and adorable." The twin on my left said as he put a hand on his forehead while he fanned himself with the other one. "Some people say the eyes are the window to your soul, well his eyes are the key to mine."
I was outright laughing at this point. I couldn't help it. The twins were so funny.
"Uh oh, he's coming over here," I heard Alicia whisper.
What? Oh no. This isn't good.
