ANASTASIA woke up to see she was in a very familiar room-it was her room
She knew every corner of her room, how her Harry Potter posters hang in her ceiling and a hint of lavender scent from the lavender flowers she kept near her widow.
"Anaaaa!" Her younger sibling Kelsey had barged into her room once more
Anastasia glared at the young blonde, "Kelsey! How many times do I have to tell you not to freaking barged in anytime you want!" She scolded
Kelsey had just rolled her eyes at her, I swear I will effin blind her if she does that to her older sister one more time Anastasia thought
"Now why the fuck did you barged in so early in the morning?!" She rose an eyebrow
"Gah! Profanity! Wait till Claude hears you and you'll be tasting soap" Kelsey said sitting next to her "and poor Ana did you forget that its already afternoon and daddy's going to take us to the theatre to watch the ending of Harry Potter?! Have you?!" Kelsey added
"Afternoon? I thought it was morning" Anastasia groaned
"Well you ought to be ready! Will be leaving in a jiffy" Kelsey exclaimed standing up amd walking out of her room
Anastasia sighed and went to her bathroom-strange she thought looking at her bathroom mirror, Anastasia shrugged and proceed to get ready for the movies.
...
"We'll pick you three up after an hour or two" Anastasia's dad told the three hopping inside his car
"Now Claude, you ought to be responsible" their mother told them
"Yeah, I got the two brats under control dont worry" Claude said ruffling Kelsey's hair and attempted to ruffle Anastasia's but she immediately dodge.
There's no way she would let her older brother mess with her hair when she spent hours fixing her blonde mane
"Not the hair Claude" Anastasia groaned while Claude just smirk at her
"Byee mum, dad" they bid
Anastasia looked at the queue for the tickets and it was loooong
"Figures the queue's long, Kelsey why dont you try and wait at that lane while I wait at the other and Anastasia, you're incharge of the food! Food inside is much more expensive than the ones outside" Claude said
"Ayeeeee" Kelsey faked a military salute and started marching towards the lane Claude pointed
"I dont have enough money Claudeee, gimmeeee moneeey" Anastasia whined
Claude had scowled but reached for his pockets anyways, "you'll do my chores for a week aye" He said shoving over 30 pounds and ran towards the lane
"WHAT THE~ CLAUDE! Fuck you!" Anastasia exclaimed but Claude was already deep in the crowds to hear what she said
Typical Claude~ always shoving his chores to her, Anastasia looked at the large amount of money Claude gave her just for a large bucket of popcorn but she guessed it was Claude's way of saying to buy lots of food.
Lets see, I have over £15 and combined with the 30 we'll have £45 Anastasia did basic math while digging for her jumper's pocket for the money when a few change had fell and started rolling
Anastasia groaned and tried to follow and pick the coin up and when she was at the edge of the pavement she felt a pushed from behind which made her plopped onto the streets
Anastasia groaned and trying to gather her dignity up as she was seen lying in the middle of a busy streets-luckily it was red light and theres not too many cars around the area
"So-" before the man who had bumped into her finished his apology, Anastasia heard a very loud beeping sound
Anastasia froze at the sight of the truck heading her way-with th driver frantically signalling her and everyone that he couldnt control the truck
Before Anastasia could snap out of her daze-the truck had already hit her sending her flying away, the last thing she heard were gasp and the scream of her older brother-"ANASTASIA"

Pansy had quickly opened her eyes, immediately sitting up and panting, she shivered as she dreamt about her death
Pansy looked around to see she was in the hospital wing the curtains were drawned and she could hear talking from beyond the curtain
Pansy reached for the curtains, pushing it aside to see her friends along with the golden trio minus Granger and Draco- playing muggle card game
She reckon madame Promfrey had forbid them from playing exploding snaps as it was too loud. None of them had noticed her as they were deep in their game while Granger is focused to what she was writting and Draco to what he was reading
"Hey, are you playing black jack?" Pansy asked as it was the only card game she knows
Everyone stopped to look at her in daze with Daphne the first one recovering
"PANSY THANK MERLIN YOU'RE ALIVE" Daphne exclaimed hugging Pansy hard which made Pansy winced
"You barbarian of a woman! Stop hugging me so tightly or merlin knows I wont be alive for too long" Pansy said
Daphne let go and everyone started speaking at the same time (Though, Pansy was thankful the golden trio had let the 5 Slytherins speak first)
"Pansy you dont know how worried we were! You slept longer than the boy who lived anyways" Blaze said
"You nut cracker Pansy! You only said you were skipping DADA, we werent inform that ypu were involving yourself in a life and death situation!" Sally exclaimed
"If your skipping a subject atleast take me with you!" Theo added
"you are not allowed to be alone anymore!" Draco exclaimed
Without understanding anything-as they were speaking all at once with Daphne being the most talkative once
"Oh yes thanks for your concern, I am absolutely fine! Now someone get me something to eat and drink I'm starving" Pansy demanded
"Its expected since you were asleep for 5 days-much more longer than Harry's and by the way, I'm glad your fine Parkinson" Granger smiled at her
"5 days? What the- then that means the end of the year feast is a day away?" Pansy said accepting the food her friends were giving her
"Yep! I'm really glad your awake now" Ron exclaimed
"Me too, Merlin knows I dont want to spend the remaining school days passed out. Speaking of that what happened after I passed out Harry?" Pansy asked curious
Everyone stopped to stare at the boy who lived who was discharged days ago-"I havent had an idea since moments later I also passed out and professor Dumbledore had told me that the stone is already destroyed" Harry said
"Stone? You four risked your lives for a stone? Are you all bonkers?!" Sally exclaimed
"They might mean the philosopher's stone Sally-Anne, your daft muggleborn brain wouldnt know about that ofcourse" Draco scowled
"Hey!" Ron and Hermione said offended, Hermione cause she was muggleborn and Ron cause he was also offended for Sally and Hermione
"Who are you calling daft Drakey-shit?! I challenge you to recite the whole periodic table you fucker!" Sally pointed at him
"Its not as if you can recite all that Perkie-poo" Draco exclaimed
"I can! Atleast half of it! How'd you even know what a periodic table is with your pureblood brains" Sally exclaimed
Every pureblood in the room including Pansy had exclaimed "hey!" With Ron following a question of "what's a periodic table?"
Needless to say after that madame Promfrey had came from her office exclaimin that they were too loud and t'was bothering the other patients when in reality Pansy was the only patient but hey Pansy could use the peace and rethink her life choices
And before she knew it, the end of the year feast had come.

Ofcourse Pansy knew Slytherin had won the house cup but she also knew they wouldn't be holding on for too long
"Yes, Yes, well done, Slytherin," said Dumbledore. "However, recent events must be taken into account."
The room went very still. The Slytherins' smiles faded a little.
Ah there it is Pansy thought
"Ahem," said Dumbledore. "I have a few last-minute points to dish out. Let me see. Yes... First -- to Mr. Ronald Weasley..."
Whisphers from the table had stared, some were throwing looks her way while some were confident that they would still be in the lead since one would assume Pansy Parkinson's involvement would also earn them extra points
"...for the best-played game of chess Hogwarts has seen in many years, I
award Gryffindor house fifty points."
"Big deal, I could beat him anytime I want" a male slytherin whisphered
Gryffindor cheers nearly raised the bewitched ceiling; the stars
overhead seemed to quiver. Percy could be heard telling the other
prefects, "My brother, you know! My youngest brother! Got past
McGonagall's giant chess set!"
"I'd like to see you try beat McGonagall's then Ripley" Ripley's friend whisphered to him
At last there was silence again.
"Second -- to Miss Hermione Granger... for the use of cool logic in the face of fire, I award Gryffindor house fifty points."
"Dumblydoor's really going all out, I dont like it" Blaze whisphered
"Arsehole" Daphne whisphered lowly pertaining to the headmaster
"Just say it outloud Daphne" Theo smirked while Daphne scoffed
"Third -- to Mr. Harry Potter..." said Dumbledore. The room went deadly quiet "for pure nerve and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor house sixty points."
It was a tie between Gryffindor and Slytherin-still the Slytherins were confident they would still be in the lead, considering Pansy's involvement to the spoken incident
Oh they were so wrong-It was Longbottom who recieved the final points because he 'stood against his friends'
In the end Gryffindor won-the hall was filled with loud cheers coming especially from the houses who never wanted Slytherin to take the cup and when they threw their hats in the air, the Slytherins didnt they remained silent, whisphering to themselves
"That was a total dick move! He could've just awarded the points earlier so he wouldnt be raising our hopes up but no! He just let us taste the victory a little and competely passed it to the 'real winners' like come on! You dick" Sally exclaimed loud enough for only the whole Slytherin to hear
They agreed with what she said
"Dont be discourage snakelings, let them taste the sweet victory for atleast one last cause they will never taste it again once Slytherins wins the house cup for the next millenium" Fawzia said
Everyone agreed when someone spoke up
"Wasnt Parkinson involve with the incident? Why wasnt she awarded with points?" Leah Marisonè said
"Apparantly Marisonè getting kidnapped and distracting the kidnapper while the hero makes his move wasnt a great enough feat to be rewarded with points" Pansy had sarcastically said
"Enough with everything, eat and proceed with showing how composed we are. We Slytherins wont be triggered with such childish acts" Fawzia said
"Theres always a next time anyways" she added
"Can the house points get in negative?" Blaze asked
"Blaze what the fuck?" Draco gave him a surprised look as he knew what Blaze was saying while Daphne, Sally, Theo and Pansy had gave him a look of curiousity
"It never happened but its possible" Davley said and when she realized what Blaze is implying "You're not saying that we go on negatives are you Zabini? Isnt tha the opposite of our goal?" Davley asked
While the others were rejoycing, ugly crying and celebrating the Slytherins were planning their next move
"I think its quite an idea" Pansy second, getting the picture Blaze was trying to paint
"Incase you two were mentally absent our goal is to win" Jenova said
"Yeah buuuut will we truly win?" Blaze asked everyone
"Interesting insight Zabini, why dont you elaborate further?" Fawzia said
"I mean you all see how biased the results was-whose to say that it wont happen again for the school years? Our efforts would just be wasted, its like we're trying to win a marathon with people who dont have legs and because its planned biased those who ran didnt win but instead the trophy was freely given to those people who dont have legs" Blaze explained
"We get your analogy, so what do you propose we do? Loose on purpose?"
"Nah, I'd like to call it setting a new score no one had ever reached before" Blaze smirked
"Really interesting, I'll take this up to professor Snape before I leave" Fawzia said
"No need ms. Hayworth" a familiar baritoned voice said from behind Blaze, there stood Severus Snape who had a facial expression that can be considered as thoughtful but then again no one will ever know with the poker faced professor
"I've heard everything and all I can say is-the next school years would be very.......unpredictable, let's see your foolproof plan then mr. Zabini" he said and started walking back to the teachers table
"You all heard the man, aim high people" Fawzia exclaimed
Pansy could feel it-the next few years would be full of uncertainty and of course she's sure there would never be a dull moment.
