Third Person Perspective

There was confusion everywhere. Between all four heads, there was also silence and unanswered questions.

Anne Sallow stood mid-quidditch field eyeing Y/n Y/l/n. The new fifth year she met last year now looking at her in confusion. The innocence of Y/n's eyes was lost — it gave Anne enough to know something was wrong.

Poppy Sweeting felt like a bystander in the situation. She's heard rumors about the tragic ending of the Sallow twins. How Sebastian Sallow almost lost himself curing his sister, but Anne Sallow looked fine from Poppy's perspective.

"Anne, is that really you?" Ominis let out in question, breathless at the unexpected arrival.

It wasn't the right time for positive exchanges and greets. The setting felt off and, as said, it wasn't the best comeback.

"Ominis," Anne breathed, looking at the, now, tall, mature blonde in front of her.

Ominis grew inches since the last time Anne saw him. Anne was speechless to see that he still held that innocent posture, but his low tone of voice seemed deep. Serious.

But Anne Sallow paid more attention to the girl in front of her. Y/n Y/l/n. The girl her twin brother never stopped babbling about all fifth year each time he visited. Anne was sure Sebastian Sallow was in-love.

"W-What are you doing here? Are you back? Is this real?" Ominis was still in denial.

Ominis Gaunt did have a soft spot for Anne Sallow. Despite being his best friend's sister, he always cared about Anne. He was devastated by her departure, but more worried about her health — the curse that was ruining her. Anne now sounded fine. Or maybe, it's been a long time.

"Back?" Y/n finally let out some question, "Anne?"

Anne stared, "Yes, it's...me. I know I may seem different than when you last saw me, Y/n...but...but, I'm cured." She smiled.

Again, Y/n tried to process what Anne Sallow said to her. Should she congratulate the stranger? Hug her? Her head was spinning in the most negative way.

Y/n stared back, "I...I'm sorry, I don't know you."

"Anne," Ominis finally came to his senses, "There are some things that have changed. I'm sure there's a lot to speak of, but you're cured? What?" He said in shock.

Anne Sallow was cured, but at what cost?

Anne was still stuck on the odd behavior of Y/n, but answered Ominis, "Yes...I—I apologize, but why doesn't Y/n remember—"

"As I said, things have changed since you and your brother have been gone. It'll be nice to catch up privately. I'm sure, Y/n and Poppy can hold it off." Ominis defended.

Ominis Gaunt was on the edge. He never expected Anne Sallow to show up. Although he was extremely happy, it seemed like a weird dream to him. Why was Anne back? What was going to happen? What was Y/n going to do with this new arrival?

Poppy read Ominis and nodded, clearing her throat and walking toward Y/n, "Y/n, I think this was a misunderstanding...we should head back?"

There was a pity for Y/n. She didn't know what to feel. Why did Anne Sallow look at her that way? Why was the owl sent to her and not Ominis if this was the case? Her brain began to increase with unanswered questions.
