Fresh off her victory, Anne came crashing into the stands to visit her friends while she waited for her next duel. "Oy, Grace, I thought you were going to choke on those slugs." Anne made a retching face before throwing her arms around the Hufflepuff in a hug. "Nah, you almost had me there. I'm going to have to keep an eye on you." Anne wiggled herself into a spot between Antelope and Mr. Blank. Blank seemed to be having the opposite of her day. "Why weren't you up there?" Anne questioned her fellow Slytherin. Considering he was one of the few housemates she generally tolerated, it seemed silly not to ask.
Anne's attention snapped to Millie's duel as soon as she was announced. Anne was ecstatic that her best friend survived the first round. Hopefully, this would give Millie some of the confidence she so desperately needed. Anne and Millie had been practicing, all the girl needed was to trust her own power. When Jimmy missed and Millie shrank the obnoxious boy, Anne was on her feet, cheering loudly. "You have him, Mills. Just once more! Send that grindylow back to the lake where he belongs!"
