Okay since I am back my loves, I am going to do a lot of re-editing. So this is for the person who kindly told me that I had some issues in this chapter. I tip my hat to you! But I won't share any cookies…..those are mine..

P.S - I got really into the Game of Thrones! I am so sad that I am on the final season.

P.P.S. - I love cookies!

Anastasia's first night as as student of Hogwarts was not a pleasant one. She had nightmares full of terrors about her Lady Knights; a group especially organized to protect the queen. One nightmare especially had given her shivers and flailing about screaming silently as tears flowed down her face. It was one about her Lady Knight Commander, Christine or 'Christy' as the queen so often called her with gentle smiles.

The Lady Commander had a beauty only seen in elves, but without the height. Standing at only about five foot five; she had long silvery blonde hair done in braids, with feathers to represent her statue and he battles won. Her steel grey eyes, while cold and calculating, turned into a soft rumbling storm whenever near the the queen. Christy had worshiped the ground Anastasia walked on with a blind adoration while guarding her fiercely and never forgave any offender towards the child queen. She would sooner slay them with her poisoned sword than forgive them for their insolence.

*Dream/Flashback*

"Christy must you always sit so stiff my friend?" Astraia tilted her head still concentrating on spinning the flowers into a flower crown.

"My Queen it is of the upmost importance that I protect you. Your well being means everything to me." Christy stated firmly, gripping her sword tightly as though an enemy where going to jump out in front that very second.

Astraia smiled softly "Is that so? Isn't it a queen's job to protect her people? What kind of queen would I be if I didn't take care of you Christy? My people are everything to me. Queen's come and go, but the people remain the same; it's the people that need the protection, not I."

Christy's lips twitched. "It is because of that My Queen that I think there is no greater honor than protecting you. You love your people; when you grow older, you shall truly be a force to be reckoned with."

Astraia giggled. "Christy, no more of this 'My Queen' gibberish, you are my friend, please call me Astraia; at least in private if you are uncomfortable."

The comings of a true smile pulled further on Christy's lips. "T'would be my honor Astraia, to be considered your friend."

Astraia gave a whoop of joy, jumping up with her newly formed flower crown and jumped straight into Christy's arms. "We are going to be the best of friends!" Astraia released Christy, reaching up with her flower crown to place it on Christy's head. "I will protect and cherish my friends. From this day forth you shall be in the sisterhood of friendship!"

Christy chuckled, her first laugh in a long time. "Oh Astraia, you innocence is truly a force to be reckoned with dear heart."

Astraia beamed giving Christy another hug, although this time….Christy returned the hug.

*Dream/Flashback End*

Anastasia woke up panting with beads of sweat dripping down her face like morning dew. Tears gathered in her eyes, but she would never let them fall; she had to stay strong if not for herself, then for her people. A queen cannot be weak; she gave her word that she would always protect her people one way or another.

Straightening herself out, Anastasia removed herself from the safety of her bed to officially start her first day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Anastasia pulled out her outfit of knee length black silk skirt with lace at the tips, fine cotton skirt with lace around the collar/cuffs, white pantyhose with white flower designs on them, her Mary Jane shoes, and finally her silk Hufflepuff tie.

After quickly putting on her outfit; after all time is essential when being a student. She stepped in front of her Vanity mirror and with a wave of her wand, tied her hip length silky raven singlets into two french braids with white lace ribbons holding them together.

"Lord Vanity how do I look?" Anastasia asked politely; one could never be rude.

"You look gorgeous today darling! Absolutely ravishing! Oh before I forget! You need to stop by the Hufflepuff common room dearest." Lord Vanity's sang.

"Thank you Lord Vanity, it has been a pleasure as always." Anastasia smiled.

"Oh darling you know I love you. Now go and show them the definition of sexy! And call me Papa! Or Uncle V!" Lord Vanity's hyper voice shouted.

"Of course Uncle V. Thank you again. I will see you when class is over." Anastasia bowed, and with a quick turn of her toes, exited the room.

But not before she heard her mirror's last word's of course…

"Go get them darling! And bring me back a boy toy if you can!"

Anastasia rolled her eyes but continued walking. She after all, had to go to the Hufflepuff common room for some odd reason according to her equally odd mirror. When She finally reached the Hufflepuff common room, Anastasia was surprised to see a scowling Hannah Abbott glaring at her while tapping her foot.

"Well it took you long enough bitch. I got the whole damn common room making enough freaking noise to shit elephants so I thought 'Hey why not wait for my friend?' But noo, the damn girl decides to be late. Way to piss in my cornflakes." Hannah snapped.

Anastasia was tempted to look to the sky and ask every deity what she had done in her past life to deserve someone as insane as her Auntie Bella. "Sorry Nana I woke up late."

That was the only excuse she had, and Anastasia wasn't about to lie to her only friend. But she regretted it the moment Hannah's scowl deepened. "I'm moving to your damn place. If one more person disrupts my sleep I'm going to commit mass murder. Well enough of that, seven hells woman you left me starving! Let's go eat!"

With that last sentence, Hannah forcefully grabbed Anastasia and dragged her to the Great Hall to and I quote 'Eat before I commit cannibalism on all these shitheads.'

Anastasia knew right then and there it was going to be a looooong day.
