"Anna are you ready? We leaving soon!" I heard mother shout from downstairs. The Christmas holidays were over and my parents were taking us back to the train station to return to Hogwarts.
"Coming mother!" I shouted back before taking Midnight into my arms and walking down the staircase. Belle and the boys were already downstairs ready to go, Belle frowned and crossed her arms.
"About time. Come on we're going to be late!" Belle exclaimed making me roll my eyes before I saw mother's outstretched arm and I looked up at her with a sad face.
"Please not again!" I pleased making her laugh.
"I know dear but none of the taxi drivers were willing to drive us there, considering the incident that happened with Midnight!" She stated with a look that made me gulp. All of us groaned but link arms with each other nonetheless. I felt like I was being squeezed into a toliet and my stomach turned making me a little sick.
"Not the best sort of transportation!" Scorpius stated with a hand covering his mouth. Mother laughed as a train worker took our trunks and put them in a storage unit towards the front of the Hogwarts train.
"Now off you go. Don't forget to write to me Anna! I love you darling." She said before we hugged each other tightly. I nodded to my friends after mother and I broke apart from our hug and we headed onto the train to towards our compartment. Once we were seated I pulled out five parchment pages that consisted of my homework and put them in order. Belle looked over at me with her mouth open and then looked in thought. I glanced up at her and shrugged my shoulders before returning to my organization work.
"Anna, did you by any chance finish the potions homework on blue moons?" Belle asked after a minute of silence.
"Yeah I did. Do you need help?" I asked looking up at her begging puppy eyes.
"Please?" She asked and I sighed before nodding. "Yes!"
"But only if you help me with my charms practice!" I stated quickly and extended my hand out which, of course, she took with a wide smile.
"Deal!"

"No! No, your doing it completely wrong. Your going to poke someone's eye out!" Belle exclaimed at my wand waving. I looked at her and sighed heavily with annoyance at myself, and her.
"I'm never going to get this right, I'm going to fail this lesson and then Bucktooth Granger Weaselbee is going to get to the top!" I spat just thinking about it.
"You will get it right if you stop thinking about her and pay attention!" She explained with slight annoyance in her voice. The boys were reading and staring up at us every once in a while with raised eyes. I looked over just as she cleared her throat and pulled her wand out. She made a U shape and went straight down in a line with elegance.
"Swish and flick! Wingardium leviosa."
Suddenly the feather that Albus lent us started floating in the air and moved wherever Belle pointed her wand to. When she let it floating back down she turned to me and waited, looking at me with patient blue eyes. I sighed at pointed my wand at the feather. I made a U and flicked my wrist down in a line like Belle showed me.
"Swish and flick-" I said in a clear voice, "Wingardium leviosa." I closed my eyes and waited, nothing seemed to happen until I heard Belle gasp and then laugh in amazement. I slowly opened my eyes and saw a floating feather in front of me. I smiled widely and moved the feather around the compartment in excitement.
"You did it Anna! You did it!" Belle exclaimed while shaking me as I flew the feather back in the cushion seat between the boys and I laughed lightly at my success.
"I couldn't have done it without you Belle. Thank you!" I stated and she shrugged with a smile.
"You helped me out first. It was only fair if I helped you out too."
The train came to a stop and we were led by our lovely Slytherin perfects to the Great Hall for dinner. I chatted happily with my friends and looked around for Jessica but didn't see her, I slumped my shoulders in disappointment slightly but continued to listen to Albus's current conversation with me about some sort of adventure his mother told him about that happened in her first year.
"And then she was taken into the Chamber of Secrets by Tom Riddle where my dad saved her and killed the Basilisk." He finished off the story slowly towards the end.
"That's so awesome!" Belle exclaimed as she put another spoon of pudding into her mouth. Al shook his head and smiled at her.
"Not when your basically being possessed by a diary written by the most evil wizard to do all his evil bidding!" He pointed and she nodded her head in agreement.
"True!"
Scorpius and I laughed at them as the feast ended and we were led to the common room. Belle and I went straight to our dorm to see that a bed was missing and Chapman sleeping in her bed.
"Where's Jessica?" Asked a very confused Belle in a whisper. I shook my head and was clearly confused as well.
"I don't know. I never saw her at dinner and why is her bed gone?" I asked quietly as I sat on the edge of my bed.
"I'm just as confused as you are Anna. Come on let's just get to sleep!" She suggested after changing into her pajamas and slipped into her bed. I looked at the spot where Jessica's bed use to be before changing into my pajamas and getting underneath my covers. I sighed and closed my eyes and allowed myself to sleep.
