"I'VE NEARLY GOT YOU NOW, SILLY LITTLE FIRST YEARS!" Peeves called mischievously, terrorising Anastasia and Pandora, chasing after them with magic snowballs he tried to throw at them. The weather had begun to cool drastically in recent times, they'd had the first snow of the year only days before and it was yet to completely melt away.
"Quick, run!" Anastasia laughed as she flung around the corner, Pandora in tow. His hysteric cackles started to fade as the girls lost their energy, collapsing to the floor in a heap and huffing to catch their own breaths.
"I think we lost him!" Pandora finally said after she finally managed to bring air back into her lungs. She peered around the corner. "Yep, he's definitely gone." She confirmed. "Wow, that was such fun!"
"I agree." Anastasia giggled. "You know, I wish you were my sister." She admitted, smoothing her skirt out from where it had crumpled when she'd dropped to the floor. "Cissy would never do that with me. Bella might, but she's so rough she'd end up actually hurting me. And Andy- well Andy really isn't even my sister anymore."
"Well, how about this?" Pandora offered. "We can be sisters." She held her pinky out for the other girl in a true sign of childhood innocence. They did not know what was to come in the future, they did not know of the war brewing. In that moment, they were just the children they were meant to be. "Anastasia and Pandora, pretend sisters, always and forever."
"Anastasia and Pandora, always and forever." Anastasia repeated, interlocking her finger with Pandora's. They smiled at each other quietly for a moment, before they slowly began to stand up, still out of breath from earlier.
"I need to go speak to Professor McGonagall before we go back." Pandora explained, and the two walk in silence until they reach McGonagall's office. "This is my stop. I won't be long, I just have to ask her about an assignment. I'll meet you back in the common room."
Anastasia nodded with a "see you later," watching as as Pandora disappeared into the office. She continued on her way, enjoying the peacefulness of the evening. The halls were silent, with most students off at dinner or back in their dorms, save for the last few stragglers coming back in from Hogsmeade.
Her tranquility was soon interrupted by someone tapping her on the shoulder. She spun around instantly in alarm and found herself face to face with a group of Slytherin boys. They looked much older, sixth years, at least, and the leader was a blonde boy that she vaguely recognised but couldn't figure out where from.
"Anastasia and Pandora, always and forever." The blonde boy mocked. The other Slytherins began to laugh like it was the funniest thing they'd ever heard, one even dropped to the floor in tears. The blonde shook his head at Anastasia. "How pathetic." He snarled, shaking his head in disapproval.
