Private Drive
' Mom, I am going to see Harry.'
'Don't forget to take the presents we've brought for them. And say hello to everyone from me.'
'Noted'
Rose was happy to see that Anna was finally able to reunite with her friends. They came back from France this morning and no sooner had they entered their house than Anna went to meet Harry and Dudley. Her father had to come back to London as his sister was alone due to death of her husband in a car accident. So Louis decided to shift back to London to support his sister. Anna was also transferring to new school due to his shift. She attended Beauxbaton academy for 2 years and now was going to Hogwarts. She was ecstatic to know that she's a witch. During her holidays she made a friend who came to spend her holidays there. She knew she was from London but not about which school she attended.
'Oh my dear, Anna isn't it?'
Anna nodded enthusiastically at Petunia's question.
'Come inside. You've grown into a beautiful girl. How are you?'
'Fine. Before I forget, Mom sent these gifts for you all.' She said giving the presents to Petunia.
'Oh there was no need. But thank you where's Rose?'
'Mom's a bit busy, she'll come at evening. Where's harry and Dudley?'
She couldn't keep her excitement anymore.
'Oh, Dudley is out with his friends. Don't worry I'll tell you as soon as he comes. Would you like some cookies I baked it just now.'
'Yeah that would be great. Umm and what about Harry?'
'He left. I mean he went to his boarding school.' And created nuisance. They were thankful that Aunt Marge's memory was wiped if that awful incident. How he blew up Marge. And honestly she had no idea where he was. It was few weeks before his school started but she couldn't care less.
'Oh.' To say that Anna was disappointed would be understament. Petunia was careful not to spill Harry's poor excuse of being a freak.
'So you'll be joining the same school as before, I guess?' Petunia was desperate to change the topic.
'No I have been accepted to a boarding school near Scotland.'
'Scotland!!' Petunia nearly yelled. Harry's school was near Scotland too.
'Yeah, is there a problem?' She jumped at petunia's shrill voice.
'No its just I thought you would be going to the... Well no worries, make sure you meet Dudley before you go.'
'Ofcourse. I'll give Harry's gift when he'll come during holidays.' Petunia curtly nodded.
'Thanks for the cookies they were delicious. I'll leave now I still have lot of things to unpack.' She stated with a small smile.
'Sure. You can come anytime you want.' Petunia made sure that her rude behaviour didn't upset her. In her opinion Anna was a sweet girl and she reminded herself that there are many schools near Scotland and it dosent exactly have to be Harry's school.
'Thanks.' With that Anna waved to petunia and went to her house.

'There you are. You're early. I thought you won't come today and stay with your childhood friends' said Rose with a doubtful voice.
'Yeah, they weren't home.' With that she hurried upstairs to her room. Maybe she won't be able to see Harry till Christmas. Silent tears began to escape her eyes. Tomorrow they would be going to Diagon alley to buy her school supplies. They meaning her parents were dropping her and she was going to shop for herself, she wanted some time alone and what's better than exploring the alley by herself. She quickly wiped her tears replacing it with a smile.
