The letters were consistent, feeding off of their need for each other until M missed a day, then another. Anna couldn't help feel worried and a bit heartbroken until the third night she was determined to ask what's wrong. "Maybe he got tired of hiding behind letters," she thought "maybe he's going out with someone" her thoughts got disturbed by the hooting sounds of the brown old owl. She jumped out of the bed and leapt out towards him reading the letter.
I want you. Do you know how to get to the room of requirement?
-M
Anna was dumbfounded. "Oh my god, I'm going to meet M" she thought her hands already starting to sweat. "But what if this is a trick?" She started to pace around the small area next to her bed. Going out of her room at this hour was very dangerous and against school rules but the rush of doing something so out of her character made her needier. She thought back on what started all of this, that first letter "I want to do something I would never do... something crazy and for once unplanned. I want to draw outside the lines." Without thinking she grasped her quill and hastily wrote;
See you there
-A
She knew what was going to happen and she was ready, has been ready since the first smutty letter. Carefully she grabbed her green lace underwear she bought in secret last summer and changed to her black skinny jeans and her baggy ACDC shirt, let her chocolate brown hair down, and ran her fingers through it making it messy and well, sexy. She grabbed a condom and slid it to her back jeans pocket as she slid down her black invisibility ring Nina bought her in her first year, now thankful for it more than ever. With her wand outstretched in front of her, she tiptoed out of the room and made her way to the seventh floor.
Hogwarts at night looked haunted. The noisy packed halls Anna was so accustomed to were now empty and quiet which made the school feel bigger, every corner serving as a temptation to explore the wonders the school had to offer which made Anna taste the sweet taste of freedom. She felt safe knowing she couldn't be seen but with every step she took, she got worried that her beating heart would reveal her.
Anna was surprised by the lack of hesitation she felt. She knew that this can end badly, maybe it was a prank, maybe it was someone she wasn't attracted to. "Would I give him a chance if I didn't like his appearance? Even though I feel for him through ink and parchment?". Her thoughts stopped as she saw light coming from one of the rooms and as she moved closer to it the mumbling voices became clearer and clearer.
"Did you hear what happened to that Draco kid?" Said a female petite voice.
"No. What did he do now? He didn't break any rules right, Mrs. Norris didn't tell me anything" Stated Filch's cranky voice.
Anna stopped her curiosity got the better of her and her invisibility ring gave her all the reassurance she needed. Filch and Madam Pomfrey were sipping tea gossiping like two fourteen-year-old girls. "What an unlikely pair," thought Anna.
"No, no deary he came to the hospital wing two days ago he said he wasn't feeling so good. Butterflies in his stomach constant fluttering he thought he was sick the poor thing, turns out he's in love." Poppy said sweetly as she grabbed Filch's hand.
"Malfoy in love?" Anna thought almost blowing her cover by the burst of laughter from the absurdity of the statement. She made it up the stairs slowly, cringing when her shoes squeaked on the stone floors. She turned towards the left corridor searching for the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy.
When she saw it, her heart started to race as she started to pace in front of the blank, empty wall as she thought of how much she wanted to get in the room, no how much she needed to get in.
The hidden door suddenly appeared, "that was easier than the last time" she thought to herself. She put her hand on the door, she hesitated as her hand started to tremble with anticipation. Taking a deep breath, she pushed the door open.
"It's you?" she said in disbelief.
