Introductions, Explanations, And An Awkward Arrival

Hi! My name's Emery Bree Harris, and I'm a first year here at Hogwarts and Im 13. My brother, Access Cedar Harris, age 16, has been attending Hogwarts for the last 2 years, so, obviously, that makes him a 3rd year. I don't really understand why, but apparently all the girls fawn over my brother. Okay, so he's got dark blonde hair, green eyes, and some nice abs. So what? But anyway, you would never guess that my brother and I are actually related. My shoulder-blade length hair is black, his short-but-long-enough-to-be-styled hair is blonde. He's tall, I'm….average. The only thing that's the same about us is our eye color.

Don't get me wrong, I love my brother more than anything, but I really hope people don't realize that we're siblings. Why? Because if people found out, they'd expect me to be a girl version of Access. The hot, cool, and perfect girl that all the guys fall for. But I am currently thinking of a plan to keep people from discovering that he's my brother.

I know I haven't spoken of my parents and I've been trying to put it off for as long as I can, but I guess there's no avoiding it. My parents are divorced. My mom, Emmalise Mable Harris, found out my father, Quince Taryn Harris, cheated on her multiple times. I found out about this by breaking into my mom's diary. I know, it's a violation of privacy, but I knew my parents were hiding something and they wouldn't tell me or Access. No one knows that I know this information, not even Access. I've kept my knowledge a secret for 8 years and I don't plan on telling anyone what I know. But a few years after my parents divorced, my father got a new girlfriend, and she was only using him. I tried to tell him, but he wouldn't believe me. I told him to choose me, or the girl, and he chose her. But anyway, I don't go over to my father's house or contact him in any way. I've tried to completely shut him out of my life because of what he's done to my family. So yeah, Access and I live my mom 100% the time.

Oh, I almost forgot. Access and I are half-bloods, if that information makes a difference in your life.

Well, I'm pretty sure my introductions and descriptions are boring you, so let's begin my story on the train ride to Hogwarts.

Walking down the hall of the train car, I pass by many compartments full of people laughing and gossiping. Then, as I near the end of the car, I hear someone call my name.

"Hey, Emery!" The voice sounded way too familiar, and I recognized who it was without even looking. Access.

I spin around to see him walking towards me with his usual, over-confident walk, and left hand in his pocket.

"Hey, sis." He says, "You look like a loner all by yourself. Why don't you come hang out with me and my friends?"

An exasperated sigh escapes my lips. "Access," I begin, "Don't get me wrong, I like your friends, they're nice, but they always stare at me and make me uncomfortable and if these Hogwarts guys are anything like your friends back home…" My voice fades, knowing he understands what I'm saying.

"It's okay," he replies, "If anyone makes you uncomfortable, tell me and I'll rip their fingers and toes off, one by one."

That's my brother. Protective and violent.

"Thanks…" I say, "But I'm completely content with finding another-"

He cut me off.

"You have no choice, Emery. You're hanging out with me." And he drags me to the compartment full of his friends.

"Hey guys!" he says, "This is my sister, Emery." Well, so much for making sure no one knows I'm his sister….It's only been 20 minutes and he's already blown my cover….

"Are you sure?" a brunette boy said, "You two look nothing alike."

"Except for the eyes." Two identical ginger boys say simultaneously. "The eyes are the same."

"Well, she sure is pretty." One of the ginger twins say, a sweet smile barely detectable on his face.

"Thank you." I reply, a small smile and a slight nod directed towards him.

"Oooh, George!" The other twin says, "Do you liiiiike her?"

"I've just met the girl, Fred. I can't like her in the blink of an eye. But I must admit," George explains, walking over towards me and taking my left hand in his "If I did like you, I'd make sure you were mine in a heartbeat."

This guy is such a flirt…I wonder how many times he's used that line on a girl and expected them to fall for him just like that.

I smile politely, thank him for his kindness, and gently pull my hand out of his.

"Shut up, Weasley." Access says sternly and gives George his all-famous Death Glare, then sits down, patting the space to his left, motioning me to sit next to him. I gratefully sit beside my brother, feeling awkward. I mean, I'm the only girl in this compartment full of 6, third year boys and 2 fourth year boys.

It was silent.

After a few minutes, I glance across the compartment to see George looking me up down, like I was some sort of new toy, or a piece of meat, or something. Its disgusting.

Sleazy, skirt-chaser.

I look at Access, who's glaring at George. George doesn't seem to notice my brother's staring.
So, being the kind of girl I am, I put on my unbreakable poker face and turn to look out the window.

I see our stop coming closer and closer. I could feel George's eyes boring into me.

Ignore him, Emery, Ignore him.

We finally get to our stop and get off. As I leave the group of my brothers friends to head to the boats, someone grabs my waist and pulls me into them.

George Weasley.

He puts his finger's beneath my chin and lifts my head upwards, forcing me to look at him.

"I'll see you later, babe." He whispers, and kisses my cheek. He smiles evilly, and leaves me standing there, glaring after him, thinking of ways to get revenge.

Hagrid's voice snaps me back into reality. "ALL FIRST YEARS! FOLLOW ME TO THE BOATS!"

I follow Hagrid, board a small rowboat, and leave the dock, getting closer to Hogwarts with every second.
