dear anna,
Do you think that someone will try to do something with your boyfriend? I heard through the grapevine that you were seen with some French boy. Forgive me if he isn’t actually your boyfriend, but I figured if the Gossip Witch was covering it, he must have been. Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me. No one else will know that scary Anna Weasley is just a cover for Anna Weasley who cares.
I can see how an experience like the Tournament would change your mind. Has the maze done anything to you in that respect? It looked really crazy and kind of scary. I’m glad you’re safe, by the way. I was worried about you. Doing something lowkey could else help you realize if you wanted something more exciting, if that makes sense? If you’re bored to death with a desk job it might point you in the right direction. asa @annelise

Asa,
Yeah, I am doing a lot with him and he is my boyfriend. His name is Oscar, but I don't know if someone will try to do something. I know that he's nervous that people will think he's taking advantage of me, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's worried about someone confronting me about it. Haha and thanks. Glad I can keep that a secret, though I will add that I try to keep scary Anna under wraps as much as possible. Don't want people telling that to the press about me.
The maze has ... changed me. I'm not sure if it made me want to be more of an auror because I realized I can do well in dangerous situations or if I don't want to be an auror because of them. I don't know. At the moment it was thrilling and exciting (though also very terrifying) but now it's harder than I thought to deal with it, even though the maze it over. I'm not sure if I'm making any sense. Thanks. I do appreciate your concern for me. And that's exactly what I'm trying to figure out. If low key will be too boring or if auror will be too emotionally demanding. To be honest, I just don't know yet.

dear anna,
It’s good to hear that you have someone, Anna. You deserve to be happy, and if Oscar makes you happy, that’s a good thing! I am personally biased towards French people, of course, so I’m sure that he’s amazing. If anyone confronts either of you, I’ll make Lucy go after them. I don’t like to fight, but I’m sure I can get Lucy to do it, right? I’ll also keep quiet about the scary Anna thing, though, if that’s what you want. Wouldn’t want you getting a bad reputation on my account.
I can see how that would make sense. I know a lot of people who got kidnapped changed, too, not that it’s a perfect analogy or anything of the sort. It’s okay if it takes time for you to figure out what you want; that’s what being an adult is about. asa @annelise

Asa,
Thanks. I appreciate that. He does makes me happy and he understands me more than most people do. I'm glad you approve of him though. At least that's another person who does. I haven't really told too many people yet. Not sure how Dad is going to respond. I do appreciate you sending Lucy after them. I'm not sure I'm going to want to deal with any confrontations then. If anyone can get Lucy to do anything, I'm pretty sure it's you.
I'm glad someone understands that. Most people, if I mention I'm stressed or anything, assume that means I'm not grateful that I was made champion or that I wish I didn't have to do it anymore. That's not how I feel, the maze is just still something I'm coming to grips with and I'm not sure how to deal with that yet. Really, thanks for understanding.
~Anna @asa

dear anna,
Well, I’m glad. Have you told Lucy yet? I’m not sure how well she’ll take it, though I think if you tell your parents, she’ll want you to go first, since I’m not sure your parents know about her sexuality, or me, or anything of the sort. You and your nice, traditional boyfriend can pave the way for Lucy and her not-so-traditional partner (aka me). But yes, I can do that. Or even if I can’t, I can try.
The world is a stressful place, and people shouldn’t make it more stressful by passing judgements. Like I said, it’s fine to need to take some time to yourself. No need to thank me – I try to understand people, if only so they’ll try to understand me. asa @annelise

Asa,
No I haven't told Lucy yet. She and I don't really have a lot of opportunities to talk and I'm not sure if she would want me to come talk to her when she's with her friends. I'm not trying to keep it a secret from her though. You think so? Lucy gets along with my parents better than I do so maybe they just won't care? I don't know, I think you're good for her, no matter what my parents think. Thanks for your willingness to try.
I agree. I think people spend too much time judging one another and not enough getting to know people. Things would be much easier if we were nicer with one another and tried to understand. So at least you make an effort to do so.

dear anna,
If you’ll forgive me the intrusion, I think it might be better if you tell her. She doesn’t do well hearing about important things second hand. Send her an owl or something, or make up an excuse to get her away from her friends. From what I’ve heard of your parents, they’re very tight-laced and traditional, so I’m not sure if that bodes well for someone who’s not-so-traditional, even if she is closer to them than you might be. I’m glad that you approve. I think that your opinion means a lot to Lucy, even if she won’t say it.
I’m not sure if I’m good at making an effort, since I don’t really talk all that much. But when I do talk, I try. asa @annelise

Asa,
It's not an intrusion. And thank you for the advice. I think I will tell her; I'll just have to figure out a way to get her away from her friends. I'd rather tell her something like this in person, you know? I'm not sure if you're right about my opinion mattering to Lucy, but I appreciate that you would say that.
Well you're doing a good job with this conversation. Also, how is work going?

dear anna,
She can’t go everywhere with her friends, can she? Corner her in a bathroom or something. It’s not as hard as you would think. I understand wanting to tell her that in person. I don’t like confrontation so I’d probably end up sending her an owl, if it was my choice. But that’s just me. I don’t just say it because I want to – I really do think it’s true.
Work is going alright. It’s getting busier with the holidays approaching – we’re trying to get gifts for all of the children, so that’s a trial. asa @annelise

Asa,
Fine, you’re right. I’ll find a way to talk to Lucy and tell her. Thanks for making me actually want to. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t do this otherwise. I’m still nervous about how she’ll respond, but I’ll do it anyway. I guess she does deserve to hear this from me. I’m glad you think that. I’ll try to believe it.
What kind of gifts are you looking for? Individualized gifts? I think that’s very sweet of you guys. They deserve to enjoy the holidays too.

dear anna,
It’s not hard for me to convince people to see the good side of Lucy, since that’s all I ever see of her. It’s okay to be nervous, but I hope that it goes well for the two of you.
As individualized as we can make them, yes. We want Christmas to be as close to what it would be if they had a real family, so giving them all the same gift would be…sad, I guess, and not at all like real Christmas. Especially since this is one of the only gifts they get every year, with the orphanage’s budget.

Asa,
I’m glad you see the good in my sister. To be honest, I don’t see much of her, but I still love her dearly. Thanks for the good thoughts.
I think that’s great! They definitely should have their own gifts that are individualized. It makes Christmas mean a whole lot more, I think. How many children are in the orphanage?

dear anna,
I’m a firm believer that someone sees the good in everyone, even if everyone doesn’t see the good in someone. I wish I could teach you to see Lucy the way I do. Because she’s beautiful, really. She laughs and she smiles and she rages and she cries, and she’s so…human. And I love humans, and humanity, even if it’s bad sometimes.
There are a lot of kids at the orphanage. I wouldn’t be able to peg an exact number because around the holidays a lot of people find it in their hearts to adopt, and sometimes with the cold kids stop living on the streets, so the number is constantly fluctuating. asa @annelise
