As their sixth year at Hogwarts begins, Annalise Wood and James Sirius Potter are at the peak of their rivalry. To say they hated eachother would be an understatement.
Although sometimes they brought out the worst in eachother, they also brought out...

THE FIRST DAY OF TERM was something Annalise really was not looking forward too. Which is why she was still in bed, hiding underneath the covers, while Roxy and Talia and the other two gryffindor girls who they shared a dorm room with, Libby and Alorna, were busy getting ready.
"Annalise you really should be getting up now." Roxy called from across the room.
"You don't want to miss breakfast on the first day of term." Talia added. "We need to leave in ten minutes in order to have enough time to eat and we have to confirm our schedules after too."
"Five minutes!" Annalise groaned, rolling around, and pulling the covers over her head to block out the bright morning sunlight. She was not a morning person, unlike Talia who was always up bright and early.
Getting up meant facing the hard year ahead of her. Sixth year meant NEWT level classes, which were much harder than the classes they had been taking the last five years. She did pretty well in school, as she had received 9 OWLS out of 10. History of magic was awfully boring and she knew she had failed as soon as she had taken the exam, as she hadn't payed attention to a single lesson. However, she didn't enjoy school at the slightest.
"Annalise! You get up now or we're leaving without you!" Roxy yelled once more.
Annalise let out another groan, as she got up from the warmth of her bed and made her way to the showers. She took a quick 5 minute shower, and got dressed in another 3 minutes.
"Let's go!" Talia said, ushering them out the door. Annalise tried to tie her left shoe as they walked down the stairs, but it proved to be more difficult than she thought it would be. She gave up trying to put her right shoe on and decided she would just put it on once they had sat down at the gryffindor table.
"I'm so excited!" Talia squealed, skipping down the staircase.
Annalise and Roxy just stared at their best friend. "Excited is not the word I'd use to describe it." Annalise said, shaking her head. "More like depressed, or grouchy, or mournful."
"Aren't you excited for all the NEWT level classes." Talia sighed happily. "We're going to be learning such advanced magic! It's going to be so cool."
"You are crazy." Annalise said. "Literally crazy."
"I'm excited for the free periods though!" Roxy squealed.
"They won't be free anymore once you're swallowed with all the classwork." Annalise grumbled, in a bad mood because of both the classes and waking up early in the morning.
The three of them walked into the hall which was surprisingly already filled with students. Turns out everyone wanted to be early on their first day. They made their way to their usual spot at the Gryffindor table to find James, Alex and Asher already eating. Annalise sat down next to her brother, and grabbed a piece of bacon off of his plate.
