A/N: this chapter is a little bit longer than the previous. I hope you enjoy tho <3 :)
Anastasia POV
Me and Harry jog up the stairs so we can get his clothes settled , luckily he put a floatation spell on his luggage so we don't have to carry it to the three flights of stairs. I shove open his bedroom door and nearly fall on the carpet. The door was barely hanging on by its hinges and the rooms dust filled my lungs and I started coughing along with Harry uncontrollably. I wave my hands in front of my face and reach for matches and light a candle. "Jesus has it really been that long" Harry asked me as he put his trunk next to his bed. "I guess , the windows haven't been opened for month so it's expected" I tell him pushing the curtains open and having a flurry of moths fly out so I ran and used Harry as a human shield. I was deathly afraid of moths. No reason just that they are furry and flying. Harry just laughed at me and I walked back to the window and shoved it open letting some kind of light and fresh air in.
"Right , well I'll leave you to it , make sure to be down for dinner at five okay we don't want Lily getting angry at you when you've only just got here" I chuckled and hugged him. I ran speedily down the stairs trying to get into the kitchen to help Lily. I always loved cooking , me and Moony used to cook all the time , cookies mostly. I think Dad only helped to eat the icing but that's understandable, we still do cook sometimes but both my dads have been so caught up in "business" that we barely have any time together anymore. I'm lucky I have Uncle Prongs and Auntie Lily because I don't even have Harry around as much and neither do they so we normally do things together. I just hope that my parents will tell me what the "buisness" is soon because I'm getting impatient.
One we set out dinner with the foolish help of Padfoot , he kept making the cutlery float about to music , Harry came running down with Uncle Prongs in tale and was tackled into the old , fabric sofa. I knew for certain lily wouldn't have this behaviour around the house , especially this one with all the antiques and delicate flooring around but I was mildly surprised when she ran over to them laughing and proceeded to tickle Harry. I just shook my head and laughed as I understood how hard it must be not seeing Harry for months and constantly worrying about his safety after all the things he gets up to , she's just happy that they are all safe together and happy....we all are.

It was nearing the end of dinner and just before we all left the table my dad Moony had some kind of speech. I was hoping he was finally going to tell me about the "business" but although hoped it wasn't anything bad about his condition. He stood up and the end of the table next to Sirius with one arm around him and said as follows "So...I have a...exciting announcement. I hope this doesn't affect anybody but...I have been offered a job at Hogwarts as the Defence Against the Dark Art teacher." He looked around at us all nervously beaming.
"I..oh my god , okay that's amazing!" I stood up and walked around this stupidly long table and hugged him. "Thank you , Lily and James already knew I just didn't know how you would react.." Harry came over and congratulated him and told him that he's exited for him to be there and teach Harry.I sighed and sat back down until My father Sirius called me back and laughed. "You do realise what this means for you...don't you?..." I stared at him and thought for a minute. He couldn't mean about me going to Hogwarts , I mean I've been trying for 2 years now to convince them to let me attend. If all it took was a job then why didn't it happen sooner..
"Wait...you don't mean.." Sirius looked at Remus and nodded. I couldn't believe it. I was finally going to the school I've longed for , for ages. I immediately squeezed both my parents into a hug and showered them with thank yous. I had to ask if they were being serious (no pun intended) because I know how much they like to wind me up. When I got a confirmation from every adult in the room I went off to find Harry who had taken the plates into the kitchen."Harry! Harry...oh my god. Did you hear? I'm finally going. I am finally going to Hogwarts!" He turned around immediately and hugged me and began jumping like some kind of seven year old...that's okay it was funny. "That's bloody brilliant! I can't wait for you to meet Ron and Hermione, they are gonna love you!"All the marauders had gone to bed upstairs and it just left me and Harry. We both sat on the carpet staring into the blazing fire. "I've really missed you y'know Harry.." I finally decided to make conversation. "I can't wait to go to Hogwarts...I won't have to sit in my room reading and counting the days until your home then" he looked at me and made eye contact and we both burst out laughing. "I'm so sorry Anastasia. For the amount you miss out on...I love you so much and want the best for you." Harry just stares at me and carry's on "I'm so great full for everything you've done, your my best friend and I just want to thank you for always being there for me no matter what. I promise I'll never let anything happen to you." Harry reaches over and pulls me into a tight hug. We never normally have an emotional moment because we both normally decide to deal with things ourself , no help , just us. "Thank you have, I love you a lot too you know. Even if I don't show it." Harry chuckles. "I don't think I'd be able to survive you not being here if I didn't have Moony and Dadfoot causing some mischief" I look down at my rings and fiddle with them while laughing. "Uncle Moony? I would of thought it would be My dad and Sirius not those too." I sigh and look at Harry. "Normally it's James you initiates the mischief but it's really Sirius and Remus who create the action, James normally has to get them out of the trouble with lily or whoever's their "victim" Harry stand up laughing and reaches out his hand to help me up. I take it and Harry tell me that it's lucky we have me and Sirius to carry the humour in this house. I tell him goodnight and we both head off to bed.
****
I slump down in my bed and stare out my window. I can't wait to see this place called Diagon Alley and Hogsmede that everybody told me about , Harry had told me i can meet his friends as soon as I get to the train station, I think their names were Hermione and.....Ron? I think that's it , I'm not sure but I know that Harry has instructed me to stay clear of a boy named Draco Malfoy. Harry had told me loads about him and somehow I still want to know what there is to talk about, I wonder what house I'm going to be in...all I do know is that attending Hogwarts will be the best experience ever...
Authors Note: heyyy! I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter , feel free to comment anything that you think should happen , etc. Anyways , I have decided on a house that fits with the plot line and she's going to be Gryffindor as that's also what most people prefer. I'm sorry if I don't update every day but I'll try as much as I can because I have online school ✋🏻🙄.
Love you all <3 :)
