Anne smirked, barely containing her own amusement at the idea of Millie, the Dark Witch. Anne needed the humor; her notes were depressing her. Honestly, what fool decided they got to say what it took to make a great Auror? Of course, she’d need Charms and DADA; Transfiguration would make her more versatile, but Herbology? Anne was relatively sure that no famous aurors relied on plants for their survival. Anne wasn’t planning on it, thank you. Anne knew enough about plants to be brilliant with potions. She didn’t care one bloody bit how they grew.

Based on Millie's description, Anne felt better about not taking on Runes, even if she was drilling the symbols into her head to be ready for Alchemy with Professor Griffin. "I think we only have to take three, but wouldn't that be boring? Why not take Transfiguration with me? I'm going to be an animagus before we graduate. I have to. Do you want to try, Mills? I can show you how to brew the potion, that's the easiest part!" Anne knew she was grasping at straws, but she wasn't worried about hiding her motives. She wanted her best friend to be in her classes. She wanted to have someone to work with whom she liked for the next two years. So what if it was selfish?

"Bloody hell, I'm going to have to take Herbology, aren't I?" And, with that, Anne's head thunked back onto the table in front of her.
