Grimmauld Place - 1993
Anastasia's POV
Its cold.
So very cold. It was winter after all so it was expected , yet I couldn't help but shiver in my attic room. Grimmauld Place had always been cold from what i remember from my childhood. Yet, I always found comfort in the memories made unlike the history berried between the walls. Yawning, I spread out on my bed and stared out my frost-bitten window , oh how I longed to see everything out there instead of being cooped up inside this god forsaken house.
Reaching over and grabbing my book 'Pride & Prejudice' i turned to my recent chapter and as soon as I began reading my door suddenly burst open and in strutted and very smug looking Sirius Black.
"heyo kiddo , oh do i have some news for you!" I just stared blankly at my father in front of me, who was now waving his hands about as though he was a very tall child. I just threw her book on my window seat and decided to walk over to Sirius who was now sitting on her dresser and listen to whatever nonsense hes about to tell me . "careful your gonna break it" I chuckled. "Hey! Whats that supposed to mean.....anyways , guess who's coming back today?" I was clueless until I glanced at her calendar.
The one and only Harry Potter was coming back for Christmas break. He is in his second year and has already gotten in to heck of a lot of trouble. Me , James and Sirius are proud of his obviously but Lily and Moony....not so much. He must feel overwhelmed by the amount controversy between the howlers he gets often after he has gotten into trouble. Between me , Sirius and James egging him on about how well hes doing and Lily and Remus arguing the fact he needs to do better i think we win.
"hmm let me guess....volde-" i was cut off by a too over-exited Padfoot "NO. no no...It's Harry! My favourite godson is coming home." Sirius started to walk out of my room when i started reminding him of how he is his only godson. I could hear Lily trying to calm Uncle Prongs and my dad down in the distance as i grabbed a flannel and black jeans and got dressed.

I ran down the hard oak stairs only to come face to face with no other than James Potter himself. "Da-Jesus Uncle Prongs how do you always manage to get in the way." I simply stared up at him , my Inner moony attitude coming to light. "Ahem. No you were the one in the wrong this time there no way I'm letting you pin the blame on me" James looked down at me with his arms crossed over his chest and a smirk plastered across his face. "I- you wait until breakfast I'd be careful if I were you." I started to walk away scowling at him during the process. "What are you gonna do put something in my tea!?" James shouted from behind me whilst I made my way to the kitchen. "Don't give me any ideas Uncle Prongs!" I called over my shoulder as I took a seat next to my other dad , catching Sirius giving me a wink as though congratulating me on the comebacks towards James.
"Morning Anastasia, you wake up and your already matching up to James when you haven't even had breakfast yet." My dad (remus) looked at me with a small smile and then carried on flicking through The Daily Prophet sipping his freshly made tea. "What is James up to anyways Lily he's being too suspicious.." I looked over at Lily who was laughing at some kind of joke Dadfoot was making. "That's just him darling he's always suspicious let's just hope he hasn't set up another prank in our room again." Lily explained laughing and the thoughts of what James could be doing up there.
Suddenly there was a fairly large slam in the hallway , at first I thought James had fallen down the stairs and I carried on eating until I heard an awful racket of laughter and loud chatter as my father padfoot runs out of the room. I stood up not wanted to leave my precious toast and tea , but decided to go to the door anyways. I turned the corner and was immediately attacked by a hug from a tall figure and I smelt old books and Denim and knew it was my cousin Harry Potter. I naturally hugged him back and I got very overwhelmed,Ed with excitement until it was getting pretty hard to breath due to how tightly Harry was hugging me so I , aggressively , but gently slapped him on the back and he jerked backwards in an apologetic manor. "Oh , sorry sorry Anastasia I just couldn't wait to see you!"I smiled at him and agreed on how much we missed each other. Harry wasn't much taller than me but maybe an inch or two , after all we are only 13 , much more room to grow I guess. Well that's what Father Moony says anyways. Me and Harry have always been so close because growing up we had been in the same household, grown up with the same people , had the same things , well obviously not everything the same seeing as we are opposite genders. Although I do recall Padfoot and Prongs dressing Harry in a pink and purple floral dress when we were 4....let's not talk about that.
Anyways, me and Harry were practically grown up the same all apart from the education. James and Lily were more than happy to have Harry go to Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry..well James was atleast. Even though he was more at risk of danger and Voldemort than I was , they still let him go yet Moony and Dadfoot didn't want me out of the house without a supervisor. I've been homeschooled for 2 and a half years now and as much as I love it with Moony teaching me I just....wish to go to Hogwarts. Harry had told me about everything he has done over letters we exchange at every given moment and I long for the mischief I could cause there...as well as education of course. Hopefully , If I keep being persistent I will attend Hogwarts and meet the Weasleys and Hang out with Harry and most definitely make fun of Snape.
A/N: Hey people! This is my first book and chapter on "Your truly" I hope you enjoyed! Please feel free to leave suggestions for any plot lines and I also need a house for her as she will be attending Hogwarts I'm stuck between Gryffindor or Slytherin and I know she hasn't shown many Traits to go by but trust me she will fit into the characters of her parents real soon! Anyways , have a good day/night and I hope you enjoy the rest of the book. <3 :)
