Emily and Ana got along pretty good while talking about their mornings and what their parents are doing. While talking they noticed that Emi's parents and Ana's mum had to do with each other quiet a lot in the past time.
Kevin wasn't really amused of beeing ignored of both the girls. He tried to get Emilys attention by swirling her hair by using a charm. She ignored him icecold.
Suddenly Steven apparated at Emilys side "Good morning young lady!", he smiled and gave her a blue swirling flower. "Oh thanks Steven!!", she said thankful, wide grining. "Would you mind eatting breakfast with me?", Steven asked and without saying anything, Emi grabed his arm and tryed walking away, but she stopped. "Oh Steven?" - "Yes dear?" - "Could we take Ana with us? I think she needs a better environment at the moment" - "Think that would be no problem"

"Thats nice, thanks, but I can't so with you" she said and looked and Emilys suprised face. "It's my dad. he wants to go within half an hour and I've got to prepare and get ready" she explained.
So Emily and Steven went away together while Kevin was still standing here. Ana lookied at him "Huh? you are still here? Don't you have to go and do anything?" she said not very nice and you could see in his face that he was hurt. "I ... I wanted to .. tell you that I'm sorry... I ... I was out of control-" - "I don't care whether you were out of control or not!" Ana interuped. "You have done wrong, and now it's on paper. Deal with it as I do and Leave"
So kevin left looking at the floor and depressed. Coming back to his tent, his teammates laughed at him and steven wasn't there.
Ana went into the tent and pack her things togehter. "Cookie~ where you" she searched for her cat and found her sitting infront of her bowl. Looks like she was hungry again. Ana gave her something to eat and and screamed through the tent.
"Dad? I'm ready!"

Steven and Emily were walking to her tent to let her mum know where she was going.
"Oh honey! Have some fun, but please don't forget to be here till 2, we want to go then." - "That'll be no problem mum!", Emily was answering and apparated with Steven to a wonderful house. Emily got surprised and impressed at same time. "Do you live here?" Steven answered smiling with a shake of his head. "It's the restaurant of my mum, she makes the best pancakes ever!"
Hand in hand, they walked into the house, having a wonderful breakfast.

Ana was side-bye-side aparating home with her father not even twenty minutes after Emily had left.
her mother was alread waiting while making the dinner. With magic of course.
"We're back honey" Daryon said and gave Judia a little kiss.
While the too adults are talking to each other, Ana tried to go up quitly. "Ana!" her mother shouted at her. "Would you please stay down stairs! We wat to have dinner altogther in 10 minutes" she said and Ana rolled her eyes and went down a again.
"You could put the dishes on the table" she adviced her daughter.
"but mum! You could to that with magic in 10 seconds" Ana complained.
"And you can make it in 10 MInutes if you hurry up!"

Time passed like nothing, and it was almost half past 2. Emily had to go. She had really enjoyed talking with Steven and eating the best food ever (but not beside her mums stuff, you know). He couldn't stop looking at her with this cute deep blue eyes. His blond hair fell on his shoulders. Emily was totally goopy about him. He was absolutely her contrast, he was water, she was earth, but there was something they both felt. Could it be love? Emily wasn't thinking so. In her opinion it was to early to talk about love - she needed time to think of it. They acted like lovers, but it wasn't the truth, Emily missed something, she didn't knew what, but she missing it.

"Thanks for everything Steven, i really enjoyed it.", she gave him a kiss on his cheek. "But i gotta go. Could you bring me back please?" - "of course maiden!" Steven took her hand and they were back again in front of her tent. "I really hope to get letters from you, please don't disappoint me..". Steven took both her hands and looked her deep in her eyes. Emily saw the ocean. "I really, really don't want to disappoint you ever. I will write you, everytime i have some space between games, i promise!"

Some hours later Emily was sitting in a big wing chair in her magicaly defended house, a cup of tea in her hands, hearing bombs fall. "Mum, the noise protection isn't working.. could you cast it again please?"

Ana was awar that there was a war, even she did not notice anything about it. Their house was so protected that not much could happen.
Ana would totaly forget that there is a war if her mother was not talking about it alltime.
She worked at a Muggel protecting project, okay, but why bother Ana with Muggel problems all time. here daught could not understand and that drove judia mad. Sometimes.
All in all, both, father and mother could tell that their daught was not like they wanted her to be and Ana knew that. It was noe problem to her, that was just like things are.
She was not into Muggels or Sports. She was into old spells and charms, even dark spells. She loved solving Riddles or mising new and powerfull potions. She was into wizardry like her mother was into muggels.
The whole family was sitting on the table, eating the meal judia had cooked.
Ana was quited. her parents were talking, as usual.
Cookie was poking against Anas leg and whlile her partens were not watching, she gave the gad a lil bit of tuna from the meal.
Later one Ana final went upstairs into her room. There were no celebrety posters but lots of prints of acients artist or book covers. and a lot of books to. The room seem to be dark and grey all time.
Ana like it. The only color in the room was comming from cookies little cat toys which were lying on the floor.
"Only one week, until going bakc to shool again" ana said calmly

Emily was laying on her bed, petting her owl and waiting for a letter from Steven.
While waiting, she was leafing through some of her schoolbooks, just wanting to deflect herself by thinking of Steven. School would start soon, and her head was in the clouds.

Only a few days later, Anas Mother took her to King's Cross. It was time to go back to school. They were standing at Station 9 3/4 and Judia asked her daughter whether she has not forgot anything.
"Yes Mum, like a hundred times, I've got everything and if not, YOU can send it to ME" she said a little anoyed. With having Cookie sitting on her should she took all her trunks and bags and turned around. "So then, By Mom" she said and went straight to the train. It was hard to navigate through all the other students but she made it to get in there, then searchin' for a free Compartment.

Waving from inside the train, Emily was saying goodbye to her parents. She sat down in her empty compartment, and waited for the foodwagon to buy some chocolate frogs.
While waiting, she was listening to music with a cd-player. Her dad gave it to her when she got into 5th grade and her mum modified it a bit with magic.
The train moved and slowy got out of the train station.

Ana was mowving between other students to find a compartment. It took a few ellbows ramed into her stomach and a few foots standing on her toes until she found one.
It was empty besides a boy sitting in there. Ana knew him. He was on of her class mates. Well they had nevr, in all 5 years, talked to eachother. Ana hardly rembered his name, anything like fiddle or riddle. She sat down without asking. Cookie jumped from her shoulder to her lap. She scratched her gently and the cat meowed. Ana was looking out of the window and signed quitly.

Emily was so happy to be allowed to cast spells again. Eating frogs she waited for some others to come into her compartment for talking.

She waited for a letter for a pretty long time, and she waited and waited and waited.. nothing happened. She was disappointed and hurt. She felt like crying but wasn't allowed to cry at this moment. She wanted to be perfect all the time. At school, at home, everywhere.

There was only about an hour to arrive at Hogwarts and Emily was talking motivated with some girls from Ravenclaw.

Anas and Toms Compartment was full of silence. They did not even look at each other. Ana notcied out of the corner of her eye, the people which are walking through the train, stoping for short time and whispering when they saw her. She guessed that they talked about the artic´kel from the quidditch campione ship. Some girl killed her by the way they looked at her.
Ana signed again. This would be a pretty hard start. She tried being positiv at all, it couldn't be that bad, and at Hogwarts there was enough stuff to do, that makes ignoring easier.

Everyone was packing their stuffs together and the train was slowing down. They had arrived at Hogwarts and everyone wanted to be the first at the carriages.
Emily got into one carriage with some of her class mates. She was really hungry and was happy to eat the feast.
All Ravenclaws were sitting at one of the long tables in the festival room and talked, as Dippet stood up and wanted to start his oration.

Ana and Tom left the compartment as the train arived. Then They got seperated and met again at the big hall.
Ana didn't sit very close to her classmates and she also didn't listen to the things Prof. Dippet told the students. He said the same, every year, so, why listen?
She looked at Tom. That Guy seemed like something has changed within him.

Emily was eating lots of stuff. She loved the food the Hogwarts House-elves made and it was always filling her stomache totally. Prof. Dippet talked for about half an hour when about the half of the hall was sleeping.
What an emotional oration! The last thing Dippet said was that the heads of the several houses should escort the newcomers to their common room.

With some bedtime sweets in her pocket, Emily wanted to get up to the western towers as fast as possible, and get to bed at once.
She was in one room with Carin Timbor, Hehna Longhoove and Sandra Burlok like every year. Hehna was in the Ravenclaw Quidditchteam too, as chaser.
Exhausted from the long trip to school, Emily sank onto her purple and white canopy bed and selpt at once.

Ana didn't eat much. After the Dinner, she followed Proffessor Slughorn and the first grades to the Slytherin Dungeon.
It was quite cold down there. She went in, and headed straight to the sleeping Room.
Cookie was waiting for her and lying on her pillow, She moved up her head when Ana was coming in. The other slytherin girl were not here at the moment. They might sill sitting in the public room and talking with the other.
Ana didn't feel like talking to anybody, but she was bored.

When Emily woke up in early morning she felt absolutely happy to be in Hogwarts again. She started to clear out her suitcase and store everything in a big oak wardrobe. She uncovered that she had really really to much clothes. Her Quidditch outfit got the best place in the wardrobe, so she could always see it hanging in there when she opens the wardrobe. Her suitcase was nearly empty when she hung up a poster of the Kestrels. The one with Kevin on it had been left at home.

She put on her very very new cloak and went down the stairs into the common room to sign up for this years Quidditch team.

Ana woke up too late. All of the other girls in their sleeping room were already gone down to breakfast. Ana was searching for a watch. She needed to know what time it was. Hair looked like a mess, strands were standing out und it was very untidy.
She was wering a black pajama with white pandas on it. It was her favorite pajama, it was so smooth and soft, she loved it. Even though, she looked very childish.
She wasn't aware of it, she went down in to the public room, which seemed to be empty and looked at the big watch. Puh! There was enough time left to get a shower and get somethings out of her trunk. She never went to get breakfast because she couldn't realy eat in the morning. When she wanted to go back upstairs to get dressed she heard a silent noise from behind her. It souded like a laughing and she turned around. It was tom!

On the list were some of the old team members and some new. Even one of the first years signed in. Emily laught about him. He wanted her position and she wouldn't give him any chance to get it. It was HER postion and HER rings to protect. No Chance.

She went down to eat breakfast when she meet Nicholas De Mimsy-Porpington, one of Hogwarts ghosts, who really wanted to involve her into a conversation. He got bit sour when she said that she hadn't time for a talk, couse she had to eat and after that go to the class.
Emily nearly ran to the great hall. She sat down on the first place she found beeing empty and started eating.
After some time Melody landed in front of her plate, holding a letter in her beak.
"Must be a letter from Steven!!", Emily thought, giving the owl some bacon to eat.

"I thought you were some girl from first grade" he said then. He was still laughing about her and Ana just said "Shut up, boy!" and went back op to the sleeping room. After getting dressed and a Shower sh felt much better.
She groomed cookie and played a little with the cat.
She packed her books together while she was walking to the public room again.
Tomw as stil sitting there. "Is there no other place you can go to?" she said anoyed and quitly.
"I've been waiting for you" he said and BAMM! Ana droped her spellbook.
"You were what? Could you please stop making fun out of me? I'm not in the mood for such things"
She picked up the heavy book and tried to get it into her back.
"I'm not making fun of you" Tom said in his quite elegant voice which made a lot of girls and teachers melt down.
"Shut the Fuck up, Okay?!" She went next to the door. "I've got to go, and you'd better hurry too"
Bamm! She slammed the door and went to the Transfiguration Class Room.

Emily couldn't wait to open the letter and did it right over her plate, some people looking at her cause of her bright smile and pleasure she emenated.
The higher she flew, the deeper was the fall. It wasn't a letter from Steven. Only a letter of her mum, reminding her to do this and not to do that and however.

Pissed of herself, she went up to the Ravenclaw tower, getting her books to run to the class.
"Oh perfect", Emily thought when she entered the corridor the classroom was in. Ravenclaw had the transfiguration class with Slytherin. Fantastic. She couldn't wait to be kidded of some of the Slytherins cause of her dad. Some were already watching and wispering. She ignored it and went on to her classmates, waiting on the teacher to arrive.
"Watch out boys! The half blood will reach for you!", someone of the Slytherins said. Some where laughing.

Ana went into the class room and heard that someone was called a Halfblood. She looked at the Guy and then reconized Emily but she tried to hide it.
"Hey Guys! You should make a step backwards froom Dylan because he is a Mudblood!"
The Guys called Dylan looked shooked at Ana. "You promised not to tell anyone!" he shouted and left the Classroom in a Hurry. The others were Laughing. Ana didn't. She went straight to her place and sat down opening her Book. The others Slytherins followed her and sat on the right side of the Classroom. Ana was Sitting at the front corner. Tom entered the Room short after Dylan left in Panic and sat down in one of the last Rows as Dumbledore went in to start the cours.

Emily was looking at Ana, wondering if she wanted to protect her or only wanted to be mean to someone, like everytime.
Ana wasn't reactingon Emilys looks, so she stopped it and sat down in the second row on the left side.

---

Tom was looking at Ana's back when he let one of her feathers write something on a piece of vellum. "I like it when you are that sensitive." He wrote, getting ready to be argued at.

Ana turned arround and saw that Tom has been the one casting the Spell. She growled like an evil Dog and turned again looking back to the front where Dumbledore was telling them something about the this years lections.
Ana wrote a note at Tom. "And I'd like you not to be that teachers ass-kissing moron that you are"
In Anas Opinion Tom was to slimy and she didn't liked that.
Dumbledore was suddenly standing in front of ther desk. "What are you doing there Miss. Tombstone" he asked her and tried to grab the not that Tom wrote.
Thanks god, it was not the one she wrote to him!
Dumbledore picked it up and read it. "Quite Intressting, But I'd rather have you and Mr. Riddle focussing on my Lesson then on your Lovestory, okay Miss. Tombstone?"
Ana growled Again "Okay Sir"

A lot of students were laughing as Dumbledor twinkled towards both. He continued talking about what they would do in this lesson.
Emily was thinking about what Dumbledor said. She doesn't thought that the both were in love, but Tom sometimes seemed that he really was. Ana wasn't showing any love to him, so it appeared not to be love on her side of the whole thing. About half the lesson, he was about to get Anas attention with casting spell after spell, as he resigned when Professor Dumbledor looked at him quiet permeant once more.

Emily was very observant and was trying her best to get Dumbledors attention and be praised by him. They all had to transform a swarm of bees into flatware. She really got it with knifes and forks. But all her spoons had bees wings and were trying to fly away all the time.

After the lesson ended all Ravensclaws where about to get to the greenhouses. But Emily was waiting outside the door for someone. She was waiting for Ana.
