[THE NEXT DAY]
"...seems like she fell asleep here." A voice resounded, partly angry, partly annoyed, partly content and Anna didn't take too long to identify it as Mrs. Pomfreys' voice. "I heard the incident happened when they were up to some mischief?" "I'm afraid so," the other voice replies, good humour very present in his voice - and Anna can almost see the silver beard of Dumbledore - "But other than Miss Rumeti's injury, nothing too bad happened."

"Depends on how you look at it, sir," Anna yawns, finally opening her eyes and focussing on the two people standing on the other side of the bed. Dumbledore curiously raises an eyebrow, "Oh? What do you mean, Miss Van Orsenhoven?" Anna smiles comortingly, sitting up and stretching contently. "Just some teenage drama, sir. Nothing for you to worry about." Turning to Mrs. Pomfrey - who is angrily looking at how much her nightgown has ridden up - she quickly pulls down her dress, smiling apolegetically. "I'm sorry for falling asleep here. It was rather late, you see."

The woman huffs sarcastically, "You wouldn't say. Already sneaking around on the first day of the year - even Peeves isn't that bad!"

Anna gniffles silently after a glance in Dumbledores' twinkling eyes, shaking the bed with her laughter.

Saiyuri, still fast a sleep with her arm hanging over the edge of the bed, began to stir as Anna laughed. Rubbing her eyes, she slowly sat up and looked around, a bit disoriented, her eyes the usual dark brown, "What's going on?"

Yawning, she quickly muttered a spell to quickly fix her hair into a messy bun as she looked from a laughing Anna, to a furious Mrs. Pomfrey, to a smiling Headmaster, "Did I miss something?"

"Yes," Anna chuckles, "We were being worse than Peeves, even!" She wrinkles her nose in amusement, then crawls up from the bed. "However, I should get cleaned up and get ready for class. What time is it?"

"Oh, you still have about an hour or two before breakfast," Dumbledore smiles, and Anna registers it as him suggesting her to stay.
"I see," she nods lightly, leaning back against the bed with a warm smile to Saiyuri, "I think I'm going to take my time waking up, then."

Saiyuri chuckled, "I would.. but I plan to take a nice... long.. soak in the Prefects' Bathroom.. Think anyone would be in there this early?"

Dumbledore shook his head, "No, it's too early for anyone to be up, even Prefects. How are you feeling Miss Rumeti?"

"Hmm, not too bad. I had a small headache, but nothing to truly worry about. But I still wish to go home this weekend."

Mrs. Pomfrey, still a bit furious about their being out late and Anna sleeping in the Infirmary the previous night, smiled, "Will your brothers pick you up?"

"Most likely, I'll be sure to send Carter down when he comes," Saiyuri added with a smile. Turning to Anna she explained, "Carter spent most of his time in the infirmary due to Quidditch injuries while at Hogwarts, he quite the Beater. He just tended to be clumsy landing his broom," she added with a laugh.

The headmaster smiled, "I shall contact your family and let them know what has been going on, please excuse me."
With nod to each girl, he turned and left the Infirmary, immediately heading to his office to write to Saiyuri's father and two brothers.

"A brother, hm? Must be nice, having siblings," she smiles ruefully, looking out of the window in the infirmary. She remains quiet for a while, eyes somewhat sad, before she jumps back into cheerful activity. "But in that case, I had best let you go take your bath, Rumeti, and get myself ready, too."

Laughing, Saiyuri hugged Anna, "You can have them if you want them! Carter was in Slytherin House and Tom was in Hufflepuff House. The only sibling you can't have is Lucia, I love her too much to give her away so easily," she added with a wink.

Stretching, she threw the blankets off, hopped out of bed, and slipped on her shoes, "I have Transfiguration after breakfast, what do you have Anna-chan?"

Surprised, Anna blinks at the sudden hug and cheerfullness. Picking up on it, she laughs lightly. "Haha, you can keep them," she smiles, standing up and making a face at the cold floor.

"I have no idea what class I have, really." She yawns and stretches elaborately, standing on her tip toe and easily stretching her body and arms. "Ah, that feels good. I got my schedule yesterday, but I hardly looked at it. It's just school, after all."

Smiling, Saiyuri exclaimed, "You're lucky Dumbledore isn't here, he wouldn't approve of you saying that. Besides, the classes are fun! I can't wait for D.A., the new teacher is supposed to be very odd, so it should turn interesting! However, my most favorite subject is definitely Potions, I excell in that class. I believe I get it from my father, he excelled in Potions while at Hogwarts, as did my brother Tom. Carter wasn't too great at it, however. He excelled in Transfiguration and Charms, go figure right?"

Laughing she began walking towards the double mahogany doors leading out of the Infirmary.

Smiling lightly, Anna nodded enthused in reply as she followed Saiyuri out. It was weird, being around someone who had siblings, and had such a bond with it. Even weirder than Saiyuri being all friendly and cheerful. "Maybe Carter got that from your mother?" She offered, walking at a steady pace through the hallways.

Saiyuri blushed, "No, not exactly. My mother is a Muggle you see, so she never attended Hogwarts or any other Wizarding School. However, my father says that his grandmother excelled in Charms, so maybe he gets it from her. And if you haven't guessed yet, Lucia doesn't attend a Wizarding School either, she's a muggle as well. That's the downside of having twins; When a Pure-Blood Wizard and a Muggle have children, they all have magic within them unless the couple has twins. Then one child is born without a bit of muggle in them, making one a Pure-Blood Witch or Wizard, while the other is completely Muggle. However, I still have hope that one day we will find that Lucia does have a bit of magic within her, then I can finally teach her everything I've learned here!"

Smiling she added, "Besides, there is a lot of blank history on my mothers' side, so maybe when we figure out her complete lineage, we'll find that she had a bit of magic in her as well at one point, making my hopes for Lucia even greater."

As they walked through the corridor, Saiyuri inquired, "Don't you have any siblings Anna-chan?"

"Nope, I'm an only child," she smiles lightly, stepping somewhat cheerily next to the other girl as she listens keenly to her explanation about her family. "My mum and dad were both also magic, though. Mum went to Hogwarts while Dad went to Beauxbatons. I don't understand, though..." she tilts her head lightly, thinking of how to say this best. "Why is it so important that Lucia has magic?"

Anna pushes back her hairband, rummaging through her hair a little as she remembers she still needs to take out her contacts. "You can share a lot of things with her, still. And magic isn't what makes the world go round."

Tucking a small wisp of hair behind her ear, Saiyuri blushed, "Well, it's the only thing that separates us besides our hair color and eye color. We write the same, sound the same, act the same, you get my point. With the exception of my eyes changing to fit my mood and my hair being wavy and purple while her eyes are sapphire and her hair straight and blonde, we are identical in every way appearance wise. What truly separates us is my ability to use magic. In my opinion, it's the worst gift. I would have much rather had her inherit the magic. However, as it is, I can still teach her potions and such due to her knack for Chemestry in the Muggle schools. At least she inherited that talent," she added with a wink, "Brings us a bit closer, you see. But enough about that, it's quite a depressing subject, no?"

Smiling she inquired, "Beauxbatons? Where's that, is it far?"

Anna shrugs a bit, hands still locked unto her back, "I don't know. I must admit I always thought that twins wanted to be more individual. Hence why it's somewhat surprising. Also, Beauxbatons is in France - one of the three large magical schools in Europe?" She shakes her head, amazed how her own knowledge of the magical world is even greater while she has lived as a muggle until a month or three ago.

Saiyuri chuckled, "I guess we're a bit different than most twins. Maybe it's because we grew up in a secluded area where there was only my family and Drew's family. My elder brothers were often gone away to school while Lucia and I were growing up, or they were over at Drew's house playing with Drew's elder brother."

Sighing as she stifled a giggle, "Is my knowledge of the Wizarding World that bad? I'm afraid I don't know a lot of the schools nor much of the Wizarding History. My father doesn't exactly allow us to go many places, so what my brothers and I know of the Wizarding World came from experience, learning about the places or wizards in our classes here at Hogwarts, or by reading about them in the library. My father doesn't talk too much about the Wizarding World anymore... when I was little he used to tell me great stories about his adventures and about everyone he knew, but ever since my 5th birthday, he's stopped all stories and always changes the subject when I ask him.. But my ramblings probably have bored you completely, sorry about that. I tend to go off on rambles when I start talking. ^.^'' "

This causes Anna to laugh cheerfully out loud. "Rambling is just fine - at least it'll keep out awkward silences. Also, I just happen to know about Beauxbatons because my dad used to go there..." She smiles broadly, then remembers to add, "And because I went there, of course. I haven't been a lot of places, though." She doesn't even bother to add that her mother despises most places in the wizarding world.

She walks along for a while, looking around her to try and find a point of orientation, then realizes she needs to leave soon to go off to Gryffindor tower. A question arises, though, and she decides to ask. "But, what do you guys do in that room, though? The one where we had to take the books? I'd think reading up on magical things would be something you'd do there."

Laughing, Saiyuri replied, "Well, no worries there while talking to me Anna-chan! As for the Room of Requirement, it turns into whatever you need at that moment. If you're starving, it'll turn into a buffet room, if you need to use the bathroom, it'll turn into a room full of toilets, or if you're like us and need a room to store books and practice magic in secret, it'll turn into a library type of room, as you saw last night while bringing the books to the Room of Requirement for me, which I have yet to properly thank you for." Giving a slight curtsey a wide grin, "Thank you Anna-chan! I greatly appreciate it!," she added with a wink.

Laughing she added, "What about your mum though? Where did she go?"

The brunette wiggled her nose in amusement at Saiyuri's curtsey, giving a light bow of her head in return. "You've very welcome. I copied the books, and gave back the originals to Dumbledore, actually." Anna grinned lightly as she remembered the previous night, but frowned as she recalled Drews' panic and worry.

She stopped in front of the staircase she would have to take to go to the Gryffindor tower, and smiled brightly as she turned to Saiyuri. "My mum went here, actually. I think she was in Hufflepuff, but I don't really recall. She never talked about it much." It felt weird, Anna thought, talking about this now. Shaking her head lightly to get rid of thoughts about her mother, she offered, "Well, I have to go. Will you remember to talk to Drew?"

A moment of hesitation, and then she added with a mild smile. "And also, I would like to learn with you all... but... that's all for now. When will you leave for home?"

Saiyuri laughed, "I leave Friday afternoon, how did you copy the books though? I don't believe we were ever taught that the books in the library were able to be copied... Never the less, I shall talk to Drew if you wish it that much. But I don't see why I have to," she added with a sigh.

Smiling once more, she added, "I'm so glad you've decided to hang with us, even if it is only for the dark magic. See ya around Anna-chan!"

With a wink, she turned and headed off towards the Prefects Bathroom.

---------------------------------------------------

Drew, not being able to sleep very well, sighed and tossed in his bed once more. Looking at the clock and seeing it had just struck 7:30 am, he rolled his eyes, finally deciding he'd had enough laying around and decided to get up. Having no where else to go nor nothing else to do, he decided to take a bath in the Prefects' Bathroom.

Sighing, he rolled out of bed, grabbed his towel, uniform, and cloak, and quickly made his way out of the Ravenclaw Common Room, heading towards the Prefects' Bathroom.

The young brunette watched Saiyuri as she walked away, shaking her head lightly in disbelief. Her easy-going behaviour and casual disregard of a friend amazed her, not to mention the obvious interest in the Dark Arts.

Quickly, she hopped up the stairs, reaching the portrait hole in a couple of minutes as she ran up the staircases on her bare feet, trying her best not to be in contact with the cold floor too long.

Crawling through it, she freezes as she notices someone snoozing in a chair in front of the fire place. Carefully she nears the chair on tip toe, wand at the ready just to be sure (since apparently guys like that Kane guy could easily enter the school) and keeping her eyes wide open. As she came nearer, however, she noticed the long, black tresses, and she remembered the prefect she'd met the evening before.

"Fynn?" Anna asks, surprised as she notices he is in his nightwear. Easily she plops down on her knees in front of him, softly shaking his shoulder, "Fynn, wake up."

Saiyuri sighed, wondering why it was so important for her to talk to Drew. However, she was more interested in the hot water and bubbles waiting for her just beyond the door up ahead. She felt quite dirty due to her skirt and cloak having dirt marks on them, giving her reason to beleive she had fallen down the previous night. Opening the door, she peeked her head in and called out, "Hello? Anyone in here?"

Hearing only her voice echo, she quickly made her way inside, closing the door behind her. Looking around to make sure no ghosts were present, she filled up the bathtub, added bubbles, and stripped down. As she was slipping into the tub, the door to the bathroom opened up and Drew walked in. Saiyuri gasped and quickly slid into the water, but before she could mutter a syllable, Drew had thrown his stuff down and had stripped down.

Saiyuri ducked down and hid behind a large clump of bubbles. Drew, not noticing Saiyuri's things nor Saiyuri, slipped into the tub, not even bothering to wonder why the bath was already drawn.

Saiyuri sighed and whispered to herself, "It's a good thing this tub his huge... Maybe I can avoid him and get out before he notices me..."

Drew looked around, knowing he heard mumbling, "Who's there?!"

Drew stood up, splashing some bubbles around as he did. Unfortunately, some of those bubbled went into Saiyuri's face, causing her to sneeze, and in turn causing her hiding place to disperse.

Drew's eyes went wide, "S..Sai...Saiyuri.." he quickly sat down and brought bubbles around him, "Wh-what are you doing here?!"

He snorts lightly, then starts to open his eyes, looking straight into a very cheerfully grinning Anna. "ANASTASIA!" he exclaims, after finally realizing it's her. "Where were you all this time? I saw you sneak out..." he yawns, and Anna stands up, amazed at this random person worrying about her. "What time is it, by the way?"

Anna smiles lightly and turns to head towards the girls' rooms. "It's only about 6 or so. Go upstairs and sleep some more." He clamps onto her arm, though, and Anna turns back to him with a small smile as she offers, "I'm sorry if I worried you?"

"It's not about that - what do you think you were doing all night?" He glares at her, frown on his forehead. "You didn't cost us any points, did you?" It takes a while for Anna to realize that he's being deadly serious, and she laughs cheerily as she figures it out. "Oh, is that what you're worried about? Relax - I just have detention with Snape, nothing more. Now," she asks, "Can I go shower?"

After another glare, he releases her, and Anna lazily walks towards her room while muttering again. "Honestly, these people here!"

Saiyuri blushed and sunk deeper into the water, the water level rising from her neck to her chin, "I... I came to bathe.. my c-cloak and skirt were dirty.. so I assume I must have fallen in the dirt last night and never cleaned up. Therefore I asked a house elf take my uniform and wash it while I bathed.." she added as a 'click' sound echoed through the bathroom and a small house elf appeared. As the house elf took the uniform and left a towel, Saiyuri nodded a thank you. Shortly after, the house elf nodded in reply and with another 'click', was gone to wash the uniform.

"I.. I didn't expect you to be here.. If you'll just turn around, I'll get out and head down to the House Elves room and wait for my uniform," Saiyuri added with a blush.

Drew blushed as well, "No, I'm the one who should be sorry, you were obviously here before me.."

"No, it's okay, i'm finished anyway.."

"You look like you've just gotten in.."

"Really, it's okay.."

Unknown to the two Prefects, Peeves had just came into the bathroom, "Lookee here! Two little Ravenclaws sitting in a tub all nakie-wakey.. I wonder what the Headmaster would say about that!"

Saiyuri's eyes widened and she quickly ducked her head underwater.

Drew rolled his eyes, "Peeves, get out of here! It's none of your business!"

"Aww, the little troublemaker is trying to save the reputation of his girlfriend, how cutesey-wootsey!"

"I said get out!"

Peeves laughed hystarically as he made his way out of the bathroom, heading towards the Headmaster's office.

Saiyuri popped her head up, "Is he gone?"

"Yeah, you're safe."

"Do you think he saw anything?"

"Nah, he was more worried about making it into something and harassing me about it than worrying about you."

With a sigh of relief, Saiyuri brushed the bubbles away from her face.

Drew laughed, "Come here, you're covered in them!"

"But.."

"Oh don't be silly, nothing's going to happen.."

Saiyuri blushed as she swam across the tub to Drew as Drew picked up his towel. Cupping her chin with his hand, he began to wipe the suds from her face an hair, "Do you ever shower without your earrings?" he inquired, noticing Saiyuri still had her golden hoops in her cartilidge and the pink studs in her earlobes.

"No, father told me it was custom to keep them in at all times, why?"

"My mother told me I should never wear them in the shower, it tainted them with water spots," he replied with a laugh.

Giggling Saiyuri retorted, "Well, I've never had that problem. Better to be safe than sorry I suppose!"

Setting the towel down he stroked Saiyuri's cheek, "You really should be more careful.."

Backing away from Drew, she turned around, "I'm sorry.. I don't mean to be such a burden."

"You're not, I-

"You don't take care of me of your own free will, you were forced to by our parents, I know the story.."

"How.."

"I got my brother to tell me.."

"That bastard.."

"It's fine.. really.. I'm leaving Friday afternoon, so Anna will be taking my place. In a way I mean, she wants to learn the magic within the books. So make sure you explain things to her alright?"

"Sure thing..but.."

Turning towards him with a smile, "Yeah?"

"I.."

"Will you just say it already?"

"I..."

Saiyur laughed and bent towards him, her breasts peaking above the water, and caressed his cheek. Drew, a bit taken aback, muttered something inaudiable.

Leaning close to his ear, she whispered, "What's wrong?"

Drew grabbed Saiyuri's arms and pushed her away at arms length and stared into her eyes. Her eyes were her normal dark brown, but Drew was still not convinced that Saiyuri was doing this on her own accord, "What are you doing Saiyuri?"

"What do mean? What's it look like dummy?! Trying to kiss you!"

"Don't play that game with me Saiyuri.. It's not funny.."

Saiyuri's eyes quickly turned a demonic red, "FINE THEN! I'VE DECIDED TO LEAVE TOMORROW INSTEAD! GOOD BYE AND GOOD RIDDENS!"

Saiyuri pulled her way out of his grasp and swam across the tub. She quickly walked up the steps, and wrapped the towel around her. Grabbing her wand and storming out of the Bathroom, she shouted, "You're such a dummy Drew!"

Drew slapped his hand against his forehead and slid down farther into the tub, "Stupid...."

Peeves, his cackling echoing in through the bathroom, "Poor Kingsley-wingsley, Dumber than a box of rocks.. didn't know his girlie was going to give him a kissie-wissey.. what a shock to her when he rejected her.."

"Shut it Peeves..."

A loud moan arose as Anna felt the warm water go over her in the somewhat tiny bath tub. "Ah, heaven~" she mutters, her hand running over her shoulders to loosen her muscles there, taking the most out of the warm water.

The four other girls in their bedroom were still asleep, and Anna had had to surpress a giggle at the sight of one of their torn skirts haning out of the postered bed.

As she entered the room an hour later - after taking a luxuriously long bath - she immediatly slipped into her uniform and took her bag for the day along with her. She had no intention of really sticking around and being either questioned or scorned by the group.

Instead, she made her way towards the Great Hall.

After finishing his bath, Drew dried off and quickly put on his uniform and cloak. Picking up the items he had carried in, he slowly walked out of the bathroom and back towards the Ravenclaw Dormitory to put away his things and grab the books for his first class.

--------------------------------

Saiyuri, after casting a spell to take her to the House Elf who was washing her cothing, she sat down beside the elf, tears running down her cheeks. The House Elf soon finished drying Saiyuri's uniform and handed it to Saiyuri. Upon casting a spell for the towel to suspend around her, she quickly adorned her uniform, slipped on her cloak, and gave the towel to her House Elf, "Thank you Elestrode."

"Of course Mistress," Elestrode said with an awkward curtsey.

Sighing, Saiyuri made her way out of the House Elves Chambers and headed towards Professor Snape's Classroom.

The Great hall was still fairly empty, this early in the morning. Some house elves were mulling about, seemingly cleaning the tables and floor before the witches and wizards filled the halls. Groaning, Anna rested her head on the table, stifling a yawn. "This has been -such- a bad start of the year," she mutters, meaning to shake her head, but instead, made it roll from side to side on the table, her face getting squished in the process.
