This could be fun (🐍 boys gc) - T.N, M.R & D.M

7

The rest of the summer holidays drawled on, uneventful.

Anastasia spent her days out with friends, or sleeping soundly in her bed, which was usually interrupted by pestering texts from Mattheo and Theo, still in the dark of who she was.

She must admit, the boys were much more enjoyable to talk to than she had anticipated. And even though she denied it every single time, she couldn't help but feel a flutter in her stomach whenever she saw that Mattheo had texted.

Anastasia felt rather guilty for still staying anonymous, but in all honesty, she couldn't care less. If she were to reveal herself, she would like to make it dramatic. But yet again, she didn't have the energy for that and still remained a mystery.

Soon enough, Anastasia found herself on platform 9¾, the scarlet train billowing out copious amounts of steam. As she pushed her trolley through the platform, she couldn't help but wonder if there was another change in the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

A deluded Death Eater - who was convinced Voldemort was still out there - had tried going undercover as Alastor Moody for their fourth year. But Moody, being the skilled Auror he was, had stopped the Death Eater before things escalated.

But Moody had only stayed to teach for a year, which means another would come to take his place. Anastasia hoped it would be their third year professor, who had been everyone's favourite so far. But alas, each professor only lasted a year, and the anti-werewolf legislation was in place, which made things extremely difficult. She hoped that Fudge would get sacked soon, and a more worthy person would take his place.

Anastasia hopped onto the train, her trunk in hand, already adorned in her Hogwarts robes, a shiny prefect badge pinned to it. She peered into each compartment in desperate search of a familiar face.

She almost had a heart attack as she looked into a compartment, only to be met with the intense eyes of Mattheo Riddle. She turned her head away quickly, and scolded herself internally for making it so freaking obvious. She ventured through the hallway, finally stumbling across Jezelle, and she sat down in a seat, almost as red as the train she was in.

"Woah, what's up with you, Stas?" Jezelle laughed.

"Er- it was just a- a long walk," Anastasia muttered, hiding behind her hair.

"I'm sure walking doesn't require you to get that red. Did you happen to see a certain someone?" Jezelle teased.

Damn Jezelle and her ability to read people like a book. "Well, I did see someone, but that's not the reason. The uh- the Weasley twins were setting stuff off in the hallways, so I, um, ran. Yeah," Anastasia lied.

Jezelle said nothing further on the matter, only smirking and turning to look out the window. "I think you're forgetting something."

"Huh?"

"Did you forget? You're a prefect now, Stas," Jezelle grinned, facing Anastasia again.

"Oh shit, I am!" Anastasia said, looking down at the badge. "Ugh, sorry Jezelle. I'll come by later," she said, sliding the compartment door closed.
