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...

ANNALISE SLAMMED HER GLASS DOWN LOUDLY, bending over and coughing everywhere. Everyone around them turned to stare at their table to see what the commotion was.
"Damn." That was all that came out of the Potter boy's mouth.
Annalise pressed her throat, trying to gather herself, as she let out a few more coughs. "Well then." She finally said, clearing her throat. "Pay up." She smirked proudly.
Alex and James both grudgingly handed her a galleon, and Annalise shoved it into the pocket of her coat in satisfaction.
"You really are something Wood." James narrowed his eyes, staring at her.
"What did I tell you both." Roxy folded her arms. "Annalise can chug a large glass of butterbeer with ease."
"Her and Theo have chugging contests at home all the time." Asher sighed. "Except Theo sucks and it ends up getting everywhere."
Annalise simply shrugged. "It's a talent." She grinned.
"I've only done that with a bottle of firewhisky once." Alex said, nodding his head in admiration. "And I puked right after that."
"You puked on my bed." Asher grumbled, remembering that night clearly. "Your bed was right next to mine, but you puked on my bed!" Everyone laughed, while Alex attempted to explain what had happened that night.
"I'd usually have a third butterbeer, but after chugging that last one, I think I'm going to explode." She groaned, clutching her stomach.
"I can barely drink one butterbeer." Roxy said, shaking her head. "I seriously don't know how you usually manage to have four in one sitting."
"Like I said, it's a talent." She grinned once again.
The five of them were huddled around a small table in the middle of the The Three Broomsticks. Talia hadn't joined them that day, as she was spending the trip with her boyfriend Evan. The pub was packed with witches and wizards, everyone desperate for a warm drink and an escape from the cold weather outside. It took a while for them to finally find a table, before they all drank their warm butterbeers and sodas. Hogsmeade was covered in a blanket of snow that afternoon, and everyone was bundled up in their winter coats, hats, scarves, and gloves.
Just before this, Roxy and Annalise had waited for about twenty minutes, while Alex and James hid behind the bushes and bewitched snowballs to hit students who were passing by. Asher had been forcibly dragged into it by his two friends, but Annalise could tell he enjoyed it. Even she and Roxy enjoyed watching the startled expression on their victims' faces. After standing in the cold for so long, she didn't want to leave the warmth of The Three Broomsticks. They had all finished their drinks a few minutes ago and sat there enjoying the inside for a bit longer.
