She greeted the poltergeist as calmly as she would greet any person she hardly knew (but certainly knew of), "Hello yourself, Peeves. Long time no see. And yet you're here and causing havoc during your first appearance within these walls in a great many years? To what do we owe this occasion?"
Having just exited the Common Room, Anna continued walking throughout the school until she reached the corridor of the second floor. A few of her friends, as well as Professor Shackleton, were standing around, apparently all discussing the same topic. Who knew what it was, but if it was
that interesting, Anna wanted to be in on it, as well. Not bothering to look around and take in all the surroundings, Anna approached Professor Shackleton with a smile on her face. She was still completely overjoyed that one of her favorite professors was back at Hogwarts and better than ever. "Peeves? Who's Peeves?" Anna asked, still completely oblivious to all around her. She'd just assumed Peeves was some mischievous first year who'd already managed to get himself or herself into trouble on one of the first days of school. "He's not a Gryffindor, is he?"
