Chapter 5
Anastasia's POV
"Okay, teeth check." Alicia whispered.
"What? Why?" While I talked I could see Alicia checking my teeth.
Never mind.
"Okay, you're good. Shhhh, shut up. He's coming! Act normal!" Was the last thing that was murmured before Cedric arrived.
"Anastasia?" I heard while I had my head down, looking at my breakfast.
"Yes?" I raised my head so fast I may have cause myself some whiplash. I tried not to wince too much at the pain I felt on my neck.
"May I talk to you?" He asked. I turned back to see Katie giving me a thumbs up from where she sat across from me.
"Uh...yeah, sure." I responded. "Here? Or outside?"
"Would you mind if we talked outside?" He said as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Not at all, lead the way."
Those were the last words I said before my whole life turned upside down. That September morning awarded me with a great group of friends and a best friend I wouldn't trade for the world. Cedric and I became attached at the hip after that conversation. Alexandr had certainly taken a liking to Cedric since most meals were spent eating with him at the Hufflepuff table, rather than at the Gryffindor table with me. Ced and I spent so much time together that even the twins learned to "tolerate" him, as they called it themselves, and now they would hang out and talk about quidditch nonstop.
Boys.
My friendship with Minerva progressed so much that I now had tea with her every Saturday. That also happened with Professor Dumbledore. Every time I saw him in the hallway, humming to himself, he would give me his favorite candy of the moment. First year was okay, I missed Russia but I knew it was still not time for me to go back. I would just go to Grandmama's estate in France for the better part of the summer. Cedric would come visit me and then we would stay at his house for a couple of days before we had to comeback to school.
Everyone has been getting anxious and excited about next year. Apparently some really special kid would be coming for the incoming school year. I didn't know the whole story but Ced told me he would tell me the whole thing during the summer so I stopped asking about it. I couldn't wait for the summer and the incoming year.
Hopefully it's as good as the last.
AN: Okay, yes. So I've been itching to get into the Golden Trio's first year so this means a time skip. I'll probably write something for the time missing of Anastasia's first year later on. It's definitively on my to-do list. Okay well, sorry for the shortness of the chapter, I promise this won't be common on the chapters to come. Thanks for reading! Leave me a review if you any questions or comments.
