"So it's a deal then, this afternoon, me and you, Hogsmeade, outfit shopping?" Anastasia spoke, looking up to her friend who had perched herself in a tree.
"Yep, just us. It's gonna be awesome Stacy, we'll get some food and a butter beer too, I've always dreamed about a ball such as this, I'm so very exited. My question is however, who are you gonna ask?" She smirked,
Anastasia stumbled over her words "um, err, well, I don't, we'll I don't really know, you know, I don't have anyone particular in mind, no, no I don't."
"Alright then Stacy keep your secrets." She continued to smirk at her friend.
"What about you Carrie, anyone in mind? That boy you sit next to in potions is pretty cute." Anastasia questioned her friend,
"Oh, who Casey? He's a friend, I guess he's cute but, well, there isn't really a but to be said." She brushed off the question.
"Mhmmmm" Anastasia smirked, as she did so a figure began to emerge by the trees. A particular Hufflepuff.
"Listen Stacy I'm gonna go, I can't bare to be anywhere near Cedric," Carson got herself up and out of the tree and picked up her things.
"Ok, fair enough. I'm gonna go to, err, the library, I've got some studying to do." She too picked up her things and headed in the opposite direction.Carson was quick to walk past Diggory, he called her name making her walk even faster. "CARSON, CARSON, WAIT, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" He cried out to her.
Carson took a deep breath in, calming herself before she spoke, "how can I help you Diggory?"
"I just wanted to let you know that practice has been moved to tomorrow because Snape has let Slytherin use the pitch." He spoke calmly towards her.
"Ok, thanks." Carson began to walk off before Cedric spoke up once more.
"Carson." He paused, "are you ok?"
With those words Carson turned herself around to face the boy, "perfectly fine thank you Cedric, perfectly fine." The girl spun herself around on her heels and began to walk away as fast as she could. Her mind was racing. Her thoughts were so loud she tried to quiet them, but the silence was even louder.TIME SKIP
Where the bloody hell is she? Anastasia thought to herself whilst scanning the library. She had looked everywhere Stacy would usually be. In her spot, by commonly visited shelves, she even went to the restricted section but nobody was there.
The double doors flew open making Carson whip her head around. A figure was pushed in, she was laughing and laughing, almost in tears, until the doors closed.
"ANASTASIA!" Carson cried out to her, immediately getting shushed, "sorry!" She spoke in a whisper scream.
"Oh, hey Carrie-" Anastasia got cut off.
"Anastasia, where in Merlins name have you been?" Carson asked, slightly angry slightly jokingly.
"Oh well you see, I was in the library-" she got cut off again.
"Bullshit but continue." She spoke
"I WAS! Anyway so I came to the library to study and I just went to go and see Draco for a while, that's all" she said, taking a deep breath.
"Anastasia, you left your scarf in my room." A tall-ish man walked into the library, he had longer black curtain bangs which were neatly scruffy atop his head. He was wearing the simple shirt and trousers uniform with a Slitherin tie around his neck, and of corse, Anastasia's scarf in hand.
"Thanks Enzo." She smiled as she waved him out of the library.
"Lorenzo Birkshire? Scarf left in his room, looking slightly scruffy, I'm gonna need an explanation please." Carson tried to hide the giggle in her laugh.
"NO, IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, I PROMISE!" Anastasia defended, "what happened was, I was in the library a few days ago and he came to sit at my spot, he asked if anyone was sitting there and I said no so he sat down. We talked a little before he asked me of my name. When I told him he immediately recognised it, saying that his father and mine worked together in the ministry, supposedly we were friends as children but I didn't remember. That day he took me to his room to show me loads of old photographs of us as kids which I couldn't believe. From then we've been friends. I went to his room today to just hang out, that's all, just hang out." Anastasia took a deep breath out after she spoke.
"Even so, that's not what it looked like Stacy," Carson prolonged the 'y' in a joking tone, teasing Anastasia ever more.
"Oh shut it Carrie." The pair laughedTIME SKIP
Carson slumped herself down when she got into class, it was potions.
"Hey Carson?" A voice spoke up next to the girl, it was Casey.
"Hm?" She hummed, looking next to her as she awaited a reply.
"Have you got a spare potions book, I left mine in my dorm." He asked her as politely as he could.
"Errrm, yeah I actually do, it hasn't got any annotations though sorry Casey." She spoke, reaching here not her bag to grab her copy out for the Ravenclaw.
"Thank you so much, I'm so sorry for the trouble Carson." He continually apologised to her.
"It's no problem Casey." She smiled, opening her textbook as Snape strutted in the room."Today, we're working on amortentia, the most powerful love potion in the world, now, Miss Grove, please stand at the front." Snape demanded of the girl.
"What can you smell?" He asked as Carson leaned in to smell the potion.
It took her a moment to process what she was smelling before she spoke out, "well, salted caramel, burning wood, parchment, old books, butterscotch and vanilla." She took a step back, amazed with what she could smell.
"Thank you, now," he closed the lid on the small cauldron, "I would like you to study the safety procedures for amortentia, afterwards, a 150 word essay on those procedures. Silence." He continued to demand as he signalled for the candles to dim as they worked.The tower bell rung, signalling the end of class. Each student stood up, collected there things and handed their essays into the professor. Carson handed in her work and left the room, meeting Anastasia outside of her class.
"Hey, ready for shopping Carrie?" She spoke, slightly making Carson jump as she did so.
"Bloody hell Stacy, you made me jump." The Hufflepuff laughed.
"Hey Carson, your book!" Called out a voice,
"Oh Casey, keep it, just incase you don't find yours." She smiled in a friendly manner, waved, and walked off with Anastasia.
"Sooo, Casey Brooksleader then eh?" Anastasia smirked.
Carson laughed at the remark, "Shut up Stacy, he's just a friend."—————————————————————————
