"I wanna go too!" I whined. We were on the platform with the train right in front of us. I hug Draco. "Take me with you!"

"In two years," he answers, patting my head and boarding the train.

I pout and wave. "Bye!"

As we watched the train leave, Mum tells me to wait for her. I have no idea where she's going, but I stayed my spot. Until I saw a flaming red head. Without thinking twice, I ran to her.

"Ginny!!" I tackle her in a tight hug, almost making her fall over.

"Anna!!!" She hugs back, even tighter.

A man and a woman come up from behind her.

"Ginny, who is this?" the woman asks. She must be Mrs. Weasley. And the man must be Mr. Weasley. Logic rules!!

"Mum, dad, this is Anna." We end the hug, but she still has an arm around my back. "She's nine, and her brother is going to Hogwarts too. Her name is actually Vienna, but she likes people calling her Anna. I met her a few days ago in Diagon Alley. I've already introduced her to Fred, George, and Ron. I think we're going to be great friends."

After Ginny finished blabbing, Mrs. Weasley smiled down at me. I gave a small smile in return. Mr. Weasley, however, looked unsure of something.

I shrugged out of Ginny's grip on my arm. "Sorry, Ginny, but I have to go. I'm supposed to be waiting for my mum. Bye!"

"Okay, I'll see you soon!"

I looked over her shoulder and waved. Then I blended in the crowd.

At Home

"She's different!" I whine. Father and I were having an argument about...Ginny. Somehow he found out. "And she's my only friend!"

"SHE'S A WEASLEY!!!!!" Father hollered, grabbing me by my dress collar.

"Lucius," Mum hissed, and father immediately let go of me.

"Make friends with worthy purebloods, not filthy blood traitors!" Father growled.

I stood there, trying to make my face look neutral. After a few more minutes of glaring at me, he walked to his office and slammed the door.

"I think you should go to your room," Mum recommended, but it sounded more like an order. "Now."

Slowly, I climbed the stair, flung open my bedroom door, and curled up in my bed, falling asleep in an instant.
