TRULY REALITY [A Harry Potter Fanfiction]

62| A Twisted Day

"Who are you writing to?" I asked. Anne just tied an envelope to an Owl's talon and it flew away. 

"Let's just say it's a little present before returning to Hogwarts tomorrow." she smiled. 

"A present?"

"The year before you came. My fourth year. I had a friend named Mekenzie who graduated that year. I lost touch with her since our 6th year. She invited me to a party."

"That's great! We need to figure out what to wear and stuff. Ooh! I have the perfect earrings for that green dress of yours. When are you leaving?" I asked excitedly. 

"You're coming too Cass."

"Me?"

"Yeah..."

"I don't even know this Mekenzie!"

"Exactly. She said that I could bring someone along. You can meet her."

"Great!" I didn't even know a Mekenzie existed. Anne never mentioned her before.

Sirius was still mad at me about yesterday, and there was no way he was going to let me go the party. So I asked Remus who agreed, when we assured him that we would be back by 8. 

We decided what to wear and exchanged small jewelry and stuff to match our dresses. Anne wore a indigo coloured dress that reached to her knee, while I wore a black fit and flare wrap top with white pants. 

We then apparated to a park near Mekenzie's house. Mekenzie was a half blood and lived in a muggle town, and we were told to appear at the park so that no one notices. We walked the 5 minutes to her house, in which I tripped and almost sprained my ankle. 

Anne knocked on the door and a girl about her height with a long pixie cut opened the door. 

"Oh my god Anna! It's been so long."

"Hey Evie." she greeted with a hug. "This is Cassie." she said introducing me. We stepped inside and closed the door. 

They girl named Evie shouted down the hall, "Kenzie! Your Lizzy is here." 

"Lizzy?" I asked Anne. "Annalise. Lise. Lizzy. Get it?" she asked laughing a bit. 

"Yeah... Looks like you got a lot of fri-"

"Izzy! Hey! Long time no see." said a girl who I think was Mekenzie. She had shoulder length hair which was a mix of black on the top and pink on the bottom.

"Hey Zee. This is Cass." she said putting a hand on my shoulder. 

She looked at me and said, "This is Mekenzie."

There were about 20 people in this house and about half of them knew Anne by the looks on their faces. 

"Hi Mekenzie. Nice t-" I started but was cut of by her. "Come on Izzy there are so many people waiting for you." Anne was dragged away by her into the crowd, and Anne mouthed a Sorry as she stumbled across the room. 

It was only 4 pm and we had about 4 hours ahead of us. Anne stuck with me whenever she could but she was often dragged away by Mekenzie. For some reason, I really hated Mekenzie. Almost all the people were older than me by 2 years. I met 3 people who I knew because they were the same year as I am, and were in Hufflepuff. They left at 6 though because they had to go somewhere else. 

It was quite awkward after that. I couldn't find Anne in the crowd and I stood in the corner sipping on some orange juice. 

"Hey.. You're Cassandra right?" asked a girl. She had black bushy curly hair (which I loved) and wore a yellow top.
