Harry Potter and the Cauldron of Death

Chapter Two-Emma

Emma was more nervous than she had ever been before. Her dad had gotten transferred from America to England. Both of Emma's parents were muggles and Emma was scared of maybe being rejected by her new classmates. In America, Emma's friends had accepted her for who she was and she hoped that at her new school, people would accept her. Emma's parents had pulled her out of her old wizarding school so she could be closer to them because of Lord Voldermort's regain of power. They had then landed her at Hogwarts. Not that Emma thought there was anything wrong with going to Hogwarts. It seemed like it was a great school and she could not wait to meet her new headmaster: Albus Dumbledore, the greatest sorcerer in the world. It was just that Emma had grown up in America. Everything she had ever known was there. Emma was also incredibly patriotic, too. She felt as if she was betraying her country. Saying good-bye to her friends had been incredibly hard, but saying good-bye to her boyfriend had been even harder. Emma had been going out wither her boyfriend, John, for two years and they were very much in love. Emma thought she could never love anyone more, but she was in for a surprise! Emma and John said a long distance relationship would work just fine. John, who was a wizard, would send letter from him and Emma's friends every week. When Emma and John had said good-bye, it was very said that even John cried a little. As a treat, Emma's parents took her to Australia for a summer trip. There Emma had met a girl named Hermione Granger. They had become instant friends. Each of them had assumed the other was a muggle, but when Hermione said what her headmaster's name was, Emma could not believe it. Hermione was just as excited as Emma was. Knowing Hermione was also muggleborn, Emma calmed down. She had this in common with her. After being best friends with guys for two years, Hermione had felt like she needed a change. Emma said good-bye to her parents and promised to write them throughout the year and the girls had met at Diagion Alley the week before school started. Once they had gotten all of their school supplies, they left for Platform 9 and ¾ together, they day the train departed. Emma had received a visit from an older woman, by the name of Professor McGonagall. With her, she has brought a dirty old black hat. This hat had sorted Emma into a Hogwarts house called Gryffindor. Emma and Hermione were so excited because Hermione was in Gryffindor as well. Emma was also pleased to learn that a nice girl, by the name of Lavender Brown, was in Gryffindor as well.

While Hermione said good-bye to her parent at Platform 9 and ¾ she saw a very good-looking boy with black hair and blue (green) eyes. His hair was dark and messy. He had an athletic build, but not too muscular. The boy looked familiar, but he was too far away for Emma to tell who he was. He looked as if he was in the same year as her and was excited to see that he was looking at heas well. Hermione had told Emma that she would be saving two seats for her other friends, Ron and Harry. Emma was excited to meet more new people that she could become friends with. Around five minutes before the train departed, a bright red hair boy walked into the train compartment she was in with Hermione. The boy has green eyes, some freckles like Emma did, and a pointy nose. The one that followed, to Emma's delight, was the boy from when she was waiting for Hermione on Platform 9 and ¾. He seemed as surprised to see Emma, as she was to see him. Emma could not help admiring his looks. Then she reminded herself that she loved John and looked away.
