Anna's POV

I realise that I don't know what the password is and begin to worry. Lucky for me the Weasley twins were just going in.
"Don't let it lock me out!" I squeal dramatically as they laugh at me. I run towards the portrait hole and put my arms around there waists as we walk in for the simple reason that I can't reach their shoulders.
"Alright?" George asks me before Fred continues 
"How's our favourite Flint?". I laugh as they pull me onto the sofa with them. 
"Not bad. How are my favourite twins?" I ask them not wanting to talk about myself.
"Excellent. Lots of new pranks for you to help us with this year!" Fred tells me, a cheeky glint in his eyes.

"Oh yeah! Wood wanted us to tell you we have practice on Wednesday morning at 5:15 and after school at 5. Lord knows why twice a day" George tells me.
"It's not like we have anything better to do with our lives. Oh wait! Yeah we do" Fred continues, ruffling my hair. I push his hand away and he laughs at me.
"I'm gonna go find Harry. Don't do anything fun without me" I say, winking at them before sauntering up the boys staircase and knocking on Harry's dorm's door before going in.

The boys are sat on Seamus and Harry's beds eating sweets.
"Alright boys? Whatcha eating?" I ask the boys.
"You'll see. Try this" Dean says sitting next to me and passing me what looked like a jellybean. I take it and pop it in my mouth. Its sour and I can hear the boys laughing as my face scrunches up. Then I make a hissing noise like a snake and giggle afterwards, laying my head in Dean's lap, watching smoke pour out of Harry's ears. We sit and talk about everything from Quidditch to the boy's crushes.

"So Harry, whose caught your eye" Dean asks him, before yawning. I sit up and chime in.
"Yeah Harry! Tell us!" I ask.
"Nobody really" he says blushing
"That's bloody rubbish" Ron tells him, pushing Harry's head playfully. Harry swats his hand away but still doesn't answer. I giggle a little at them and see Harry look at me.
"I'm gonna go to bed guys. See you in the morning" I say giving all the boys a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I watch as Neville's face goes bright pink and I smile at him before walking up the stairs to my dorm. All the girls are already asleep so I quickly change and get into bed, pulling the drapes.

I am woken suddenly by a pillow being thrown through my drapes. I open them with a playful frown and meet the guilty eyes of Lavender Brown. I quickly get up and chase her around the room and when I catch her begin tickling her.
"Okay... I'm sorry" she says out of breath and laughing. I stop and smile at her before chuckling and seeing Hermione almost already dressed.
"Eager Hermione?" I ask walking into the bathroom to brush my teeth.
"Of course. This year is going to be busy. I am doing lots of extra classes" she says pulling on her tie. I nod before rinsing my brush and closing the door so I can do my business. 

When I come out she is sat on her bed reading a book whilst she waits. I quickly pull off my pyjamas and put on my button up shirt, pleated grey skirt, black tights and my Gryffindor tie. I quickly grab my robes with the Gryffindor crest and put them and my shoes on before grabbing my bag and saying, 
"Shall we go then?". She nods and grabs my hand, yanking me out the dorm.

"Its about bloody time. God, how long do you girls take to get changed?" Ron says as we run down the staircase.
"Good morning to you to Ronald" Hermione says as we stand with Ron and Harry. 
"We would have been faster but somebody  takes forever" she says throwing me a pointed look. I smile and blush.
"Can we just go get breakfast and stop pointing fingers?" I ask crossing my arms. They laugh as we head out the portrait hole and down to the Great Hall for breakfast.

We sit at the table and see McGonagall handing out schedules. 
"Flint" she says as she passes me mine. I check to see I have Divination first. We are quick to grab each others timetables to see what we have together.
"Ooh! We have all our classes together" I exclaim. We smile and the boys begin piling food on their plates. Hermione has a bowl of cereal but I don't feel like eating anything. It's hard to adjust to eating like a normal person when you have been living off next to nothing and extra's that Marcus sneaks to my room.

"Aren't you going to eat Anna?" Ron asks, bacon spewing out of his mouth. Hermione and Harry turn their noses up in disgust but look at me concerned.
"I'm just not that hungry right now" I tell them, scratching my nose.
"I thought you wanted to 'just go get breakfast'" Hermione pushes me. 
"You've lost a lot of weight you know? Are you okay?" Harry tells me.
"Yes! I'm fine! Jeez" I shout attracting the attention of a lot of people in the hall as I stand up and grab my bag.
"See you in class" I mumble before storming out.

Harry's POV

We were just concerned about Anna. She had lost a tonne of weight and her face had gotten thinner and bonier. I couldn't help but notice that she had grown in other places this year too. "You just had to push her didn't you, Gryffindorks" Malfoy spits at us before him and Zabini follow her out.
"I'm sure she's fine. She just needs time" Hermione tells us, trying to sound convincing.
"Mhm" Ron says, still stuffing his face with food. I let out a chuckle as Hermione takes Neville's Daily Prophet and whacking Ron around the head before giving it back.

Draco's POV

We don't have to go far when we see Anna crying under some stairs. We rush under the stairs and Blaise and I sit on either side of her.
"They were being jerks Anna" Blaise says to her rubbing her shoulder.
"Yeah, you don't need to answer to them" I tell her. It upsets me so see Anna so down.
"What do you have first?" I ask her softly. I don't want people to know about my soft spot for Anna. I have to keep up my reputation.
"D-divination" she says trying to stop herself from crying.
"So do Blaise and I, we'll go with you" I tell her as she sniffs and nods her head as we all crawl out from under the stairs.
"Come on Anna" Blaise says to her as we head up to the Divination classroom.
