Part 2, Chapter 45- Annie's POV

"I need a new cauldron. Mum and Dad sent me money in the mail."

It's Hogsmeade day again and given that last time asking Cassiopeia for my things got me absolutely nothing I needed, I'm asking Ophelia.

"I'm not getting you a new cauldron. I have my own plans, ask Cass." She says to me.

"Cass isn't even going to Hogsmeade today, I already tried to find her and caught her on Theseus's lap in the Slytherin common room. Told me to eat shit and go somewhere else."

Ophelia smirks, "Pia told you to eat shit and go somewhere else? Fucking hell you really caught her at a bad time."

"Would you just get me a new cauldron? It would only take like five minutes."

"Yeah, then I'll have to carry your bloody cauldron all over the village when I'm on my date."

"Do Mummy and Daddy know about your date?"

"Don't change to Mummy and Daddy when you want something. I'm not Freddie."

I huff, "Can you just –"

"Why do you even need a new cauldron in the first place? They're literally made of iron, you could not have messed up so bad that you ruined an iron cauldron."

"I did though. Mine melted in front of my eyes when Lorcan and I were... in... potions class. Yeah. Potions class."

"Why don't I believe that?"

"Cause you have massive trust issues stemming from some unresolved childhood trauma of some kind."

Ophelia stares at me, "I – I don't have unresolved childhood trauma?"

"That's what you think."

"Mate it's not like I'm going to snitch on you, what were you doing?"

I shrug, "That's neither here nor there."

"It's here and there if you want me to get you a new one," Ophelia says. She smiles at Ash who's on her way over to her, "You either tell me now or eat shit and go somewhere else."

"Oh haha very funny."

Ash comes over to Ophelia and Leah grabs her by the waist and gives her a big kiss, "Hi beautiful."

"Hi," I say interrupting their interaction.

Ash smiles at me, "Hi Annie Bananie."

"No, that's not happening," I say to her.

Ash's smile falters just a little. "Five seconds or else you don't get your cauldron," Ophelia says, all the humour in her tone has vanished.

"Lorcan and I wanted to see if we could create edible lava cause I've always wanted to eat some... and we did but now my cauldron is a pile of mush that we haven't been able to get off the ground in Myrle's lavatory."

"You're such a bloody idiot."

"I never said I wasn't," I pull out the galleons that Mum and Dad sent me in the post earlier this week, "Thank you kindly."

"Yeah whatever Banana," Ophelia says ruffling up my hair, "Get out of here."

"I have potions Monday so you really can't forget." I kiss my sister on the cheek, "Kay thanks! I tolerate you!"

I skip off to the Great Hall where my friends are waiting but I can hear Ash ask Ophelia, 'She tolerates you?'

"What's got you all happy?" Lorcan asks as I plop myself down on the bench beside him.
