"Its ok, Im sure you'll be fine." she said. "And besides, we havnt even started the year yet, theres nothing you could have done wrong already, so relax."
Anna watched Andrienne for a long moment, attempting to take deep, calming breaths. Finally, her breathing had returned to normal and her heart rate slowed. "You're right. It's just, I'm so nervous. About the year as a whole. NEWTs, exchange students, You-Know-Who...it's all just...a lot to handle."

Adrienne nodded, though she stiffened slightly at the sound of the name 'you-know-who'. "You'll be fine..." she said, reffering to the exams and the school year. She couldnt promise that nothing else would happen. No one could. Voldemorts reign reached everyone, whether they liked it or not, and there was nothing anyone could do about it... thats what she had learnt anyway. But Adrienne wanted to fight him. Thats why this year was important to her. She wanted to do well in her NEWTs and become an auror, like her dad had been.

"You'll be fine..."
She let out a worried sigh, twirling the ends of her curly dark hair around her fingers. "I hope you're right," she murmured. Her dark blue gaze shifted out to the street, watching the various people milling about, happy and carefree.

"I am." Adrienne said, confidently, so as not to worry Anna. "Im always right, you'll see... everything will be fine." of course, Adrienne wasnt always right, but it was true that she was most of the time. However, no matter how right she always was, she couldnt predict what would happen to Anna... what would happen to any of them. She only said it to stop Anna worrying. If she had confidence herself, and hid her own worry, then the worries of those around her soon vanished.

"Im always right, you'll see... everything will be fine."
She smiled, her gaze shifting back to her friend. "Yeah. I know you're right. I just hope these new kids are as easily convinced. Who knows where they're from, what they're used to..."

Adrienne nodded. "They might be from somewhere half way across the world... you never know, they may have never heard of Voldemort," Adrienne always said Voldemorts real name. She had heard it so many times when she was very young that it had lost all fear. You couldnt very well say 'you-know-who' in a court of law. "I dont think he has as strong a hold anywhere else in the world. Coming here when theres a war going on... in fact, why are they? This is the worst place for them to be right now."

Anna shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe they actually know a lot and are in some secret service type deal sent to destroy him!" she exclaimed, then burst out laughing at the absurdity of that explaination.

Adrienne laughed too; the idea was riduclous. Exchange students coming to save the world... "Now that really would liven the year up," she said, with a smile "if it needed it." the thing was, things were never dull at Hogwarts. She sighed, as the fact that the thought of someone defeating Voldemort was insane, sunk in. "Has he really got that much power now?" she asked, more of a retorical question. "Is it really so hard for us to think of a life where he is gone?" had Voldemort embedded himselfs into their lives so much, and made them all so fearfull, that they had given up hope?

"Is it really so hard for us to think of a life where he is gone?"
Anna shook her head, then brushed her hair from her face. "Not at all. I firmly believe that some day, whether it's sometime soon or in twenty years, someone will defeat Voldemort. Someone has too. Who knows? Maybe it'll even be someone from school," she added. "I dont know much, but I do know that Voldemort's reign will end someday,". Anna always was an optimist.

Adrienne smiled at Anna's optimism. "I hope so." she said. Adrienne wasnt niave; she knew how powerfull Voldemort was, and she knew what it would take to stop him. She also knew that that wouldnt be easy, for anyone. But then again, no one could live forever, no matter how powerfull they were. No one could be in control forever. It didnt matter what he did, eventually, Voldemort would be gone. Just a page in the history books.

"I hope so."
"I know so," she said with a smile. Anna couldnt always explain the weird feelings she got. She wasnt clairvoyant like Seers were, but sometimes she got weird vibes and feeling and dreams that somehow played out. Most witches did, but she had a strong feeling about this.
