"Enotsola's and my anniversary".
Easy rule for when you're doing a compound possessive: Lop off the first one. Imagine it were just a singular object. "Someone sent a letter to Enotsola and..." is it "I", "me", or "myself"? Well, if you didn't have Enotsola in there, it would be "...sent a letter to me." So, "...sent a letter to Enotsola and me."
By the same token, "This is my anniversary" becomes "Eontsola's and my anniversary". Not "...and my's anniversary"; just plain "my" is a possessive, to match "Eontsola's".
I'd have posted this with an icon of myself wearing my Ravenclaw tie, but I don't have one. Yet. Imagine the tie is hidden behind the book.
