I awoke in the morning to find an owl pecking at my window, I opened the window and was given a letter, I immediately recognized it, it was from Durmstrang! I thought it was a rejection letter since I was a girl so I opened it, bracing myself for the worst.
It read
Dear, Anastaisa Ivanov
We would like to inform you that your application to Durmstrang institute has been accepted, you will be the first female to attend Durmstrang so we expect you to look your best and provide a good example to others. We look forward to having you. On the back of this letter, you will find an envelope where you shall place the needed fee for your supplies and we will get it for you. We also expect you to be at the tailor's shop in Diagon alley at 11:30 to sort out your uniform.
I looked at the letter with shock and then quickly ran downstairs to show my parents the letter, "darling what are you doing running you know it's not allowed" my father said sternly "I know father I'm sorry but look at this" I replied while handing him the letter. My father looked at me slowly with great pride and gave me a great big hug while spinning me around "I'm so proud of you darling, I will tell your mother but you should get ready it's almost 11:30" he said while looking at his watch and turning around towards my parent's room "and don't forget you have practice tonight" he yelled while turning the corner. I quickly ran to my room and put on a maroon long-sleeved shirt and a black skater skirt and then threw my hair into a low messy bun. I then rushed over to my vanity and put on light makeup, when I had finally gotten my coat on and looked at myself one last time I wondered if I looked presentable enough, I mean I wanted to make a good first impression.
I shook those thoughts out of my head and rushed downstairs with my small black heels clinking against the wood stairs. "Darling you look wonderful, are you ready to go?" my mother asked as she was standing by the door. "Yes mother" I replied and my father came down the stairs and gave me a kiss on the forehead "We are so proud of you," my father said with pride. I took my father and mother's hand as we approached Diagon alley.
The next thing I knew we were standing in front of the tailor's shop when we noticed Igor, the headmaster of Durmstrang, my father walked over and shook his hand "Aw Igor long time no see" my father said with his thick Russian accent. I stood up straight and raised my chin so I looked confident. "And you must be Anastasia'' Igor said while looking down at me, I stayed confident and kept my strong face. I stuck out my hand imploring Igor to shake my hand and said "Yes, sir nice to meet you." he smiled lightly and said "Mikhail (my father's name) I'm pleased that you have raised such a strong, well-mannered lady, Before we go inside I must warn you, Anastasia, I will be at your quidditch practice so that I can see your skills" I nodded and Igor led us inside.
My parent was told to wait outside while Igor and the dressmaker's lady took me to a private room, I sat down and Igor said "Since you are the first girl to attend Durmstrang we do not have a uniform officially prepared so that's why we ask you to make the uniform, but I would like to advise you make it so it resembles the boy's summer and winter uniform but as a dress" I nodded and went over to the dressmaker so he could take my measurements.
After that when I was gathering my things I turned to Igor and said "You should expect my ideas through owl this evening" I said. He nodded with a slight smile and we both walked out of the room when my parents spotted me they stood up and said "how did it go darling" my mother said," great, I get to design my own uniform" I replied with excitement. "That's great darling now it's time for your quidditch practice so let's hurry before you're late," she said as we appeared back to our house. I quickly ran inside and changed into my quidditch practice uniform (It looks the exact same as what ginny's quidditch uniform looked like but just with Bulgarian quidditch team colors).
I then put my hair into a ponytail and rushed out the door and linked my arms with my mother and father and we apparated to the stadium where we were practicing for the quidditch cup. As I walked to the locker rooms I noticed some fans already in the stadium to watch our practice for the big game later tonight. I decided to get to the locker rooms quickly before they noticed me. When I finally got to the locker rooms I saw my best friend victor Krum or as I call him Vik, I ran behind him and covered his eyes and in Bulgarian said "Guess who?" he removed my hands and turned around to face me and gave me the biggest hug ever. "Vik I can't breathe let go," I said while gasping for air he quickly let go and said "Sorry" with a smirk on his face "Well what school are you going to go to the year, or are you still homeschooling this year," he asked. I had been homeschooled since I was 11, this year I was finally going to an actual school but I decided to not tell him and surprise him "It's a surprise you find out soon though" I said with a smirk he rolled his eyes then gave me the puppy dog eyes and said "Please" with the biggest puppy dog eyes ever "No Vik you'll find out soon though" I said while shooing him away.
I walked to my locker and grabbed my firebolt then gathered Vik so we could start training. We stood on our brooms and started surfing on them while leaving the locker rooms onto the stadium. During practice, we heard little cheers every once and a while from the fans that got there early, when we got done I decided to go for a light jog around the stadium before we had to go back to our tents. While I was running I bumped into someone and fell "watch where your running mud blood" they said I looked back at up them with the shock they looked down at me and said "Omg I'm so sorry to let me help you up" he said when he realized who it was. He stuck out his hand and said "I'm Malfoy Draco Malfoy" I pushed his hand away and got up and brushed myself off I looked at him "Even if I was a Mud Blood, that still is no way to treat someone... Draco Malfoy" I said with a scowl and rolled my eyes and walked off to the tents.
