"Emma, Melody are you girls ready?" Mum asked. I looked up and saw her standing in the doorway.
We were really excited. Today was the day we started Hogwarts. We were starting as 3rd years as we had been travelling the world with our aunt.
Sorry I am so rude I haven't even introduced myself….. Hi! I am Emma Elizabeth Lilly Greengrass and I live with my twin sister, Melody Jasper Annie Greengrass, my older twin sisters Alice Rosie and Bella Masie Greengrass, my mum Mrs Esme Greengrass and my dad Mr Andrew Greengrass. My mum was due to have our little brother Mathew soon.
We live in the country on the border of London in a 2 million Galleon mansion. My mum works as the Manger of the Daily Prophet and my dad is the Assistant to the Minster for Magic. As pureblood family we have house elves but they had sick pay, holidays and proper beds. I have curly dark mahogany hair that any girl would drool for and Mell has wavy light blonde hair with black racoon stripes (seeing as we like to experiment with our hair), we both have emerald green eyes, in which the Greengrass family is well known to have and one of the things Mell and myself have similar in our looks, but I have golden flecks in my eyes and Mell has silver. We both have pales skin and clear complexions and plump rosy lips.
"Sure hold on, let us just check we have everything" Melody replied.
"Dad can you help with our trunks please?" I shouted.
Melody went downstairs with the cages. In mine was my dark brown cat called Mo-Mo. She had short fur with streaks of silver and around her eyes with little specks that made it look like she was wearing glasses. In Melody's was a large, black eagle owl called Jasper. You can't really tell normally but when her wings catch in the light they are a dark emerald green. Then it was time to head to King Cross Station to get the train.
Half an hour later
"Emma, wake up we're here." Melody said shaking me awake.
"Mell leave me alone" I mumbled.
"Come on Em we're here" Melody replied.
When I heard this I immediately woke up and took in my surroundings.
"Where's dad?" I asked.
"I dunno I only just woke up like thirty two point five seconds before you and dad was already gone so I woke you up." She said with a shrug.
"Ever the geek you are Mell, honestly sometimes I swear you were really meant to be born to the family of the Einstein's." I chuckled. I'm the comedian in the family and Mell is the smart one. Next thing I knew Melody's pillow was in my face and I heard her laughing.
"Think that's funny eh? Well let's see how funny it is when I get a hold of you!" I laughed as we both started trying to fight and then we were interrupted by the sound of Melody's Blackberry ring tone.
"Who is it? Einstein?" I questioned with a grin.
".Your so funny, actually I'll have you know its Baylea" She said. Baylea was Melody's current boyfriend. I say current because he is well known for being a very big player; he'd go from one girl to the next in just a week. Melody was lucky though she has had him for about two months which nobody really expected and to be frank everyone including (I think) Baylea himself was very surprised. I didn't like Baylea because I personally think he is always so full of himself and to be honest so do everyone and even Melody knows he does but she doesn't want to end up being dumped. Anyway I stare out the window waiting for dad to come back from where ever he had gone. I heard a sniff then looked at Melody whose eyes were filled with unshed tears. This didn't look good.
"Sup Mell?" I said with concern in my eyes, she jolted out of her daydream (or nightmare judging from the look she had on her face) and turned and looked at me.
"Oh nothing just Baylea saying bye and stuff and saying he cant write to me due to his mum is all" she replied with a fake smile plastered on her face.
Yeah right, I said to myself but I didn't press any further in case I get her annoyed before we even got to Hogwarts. As twins we loved annoying each other. Just then I saw dad returning from his -what seemed like forever- journey.
"Okay girls just checked and your train leaves in twenty minutes so better unload and get there quick"
So me and Melody hopped out the car and unloaded our stuff onto the trolleys that dad had also brought on the way back from inside the train station.
"Dad," I said but I seemed to drag the word out like daaaaaaad instead "Where's Mum gone?"
"She's at the Beauxbatons train to make sure your sisters are alright and that they've packed everything." They have moved to Beauxbatons to complete their last three years of school as Hogwarts doesn't do dance or drama.
So anyways Melody, Dad and me made our way to the platform (nine and three quarters by the way) and stood in awe at the big maroon red train. The Hogwarts Express. Whoa I never imagined it being THAT big, I mean I heard it was big but I didn't think it was BIG! It was only when someone bumped into me from behind that I stopped daydreaming and apologised to the stranger.
"You should be sorry! Watch where you're standing next time idiot" I looked at the boy who insulted me for saying sorry to him. He was tall well tall for his age (I guessed he was about the same age as me) about two or three inches taller than me, he had dark olive skin that was completely flawless and his eyes, oh his eyes, they were a deep pool of sapphire blue that stood out from a million miles away. I'd fancy him if he wasn't such an arse.
"Well I think you will find you bumped into me. I'm soooo sorry for saying sorry! Do you know what next time I won't even bother?" I spat. He looked me up and down which made me blush but I hid my cheeks by putting my head down.
"Come on Blaise lets got find somewhere to sit on the train before it gets to full then we'll have to sit with some mudbloods" Another voice interrupted. I found the source of the voice and noticed it was this so called 'Blaises' companion.
"Hey you're not going anywhere until your friend gives my sister an apology!" I heard Melody shout.
"And why would he do that she was in the way in the first place and who are you? I don't even know you and yet you dare speak to me in that manner!" the boy retorted. I looked away from this Blaise to look at his friend only to find he looked yummy too but not as yummy as Blaise. He had platinum blonde hair which was slicked back with gel, his pale pointed face flawless like Blaise's.
"Come on Draco. Just leave the silly little girls here." I snapped out off my daydream when he spoke.
"Who are you to call us silly little girls?" I yelled.
"Well, I am so sorry" Draco sneered.
That's when Dad turned up with our luggage with him was a man that looked a lot like Blaise.
"I guess you boys have finally met the youngest of the Greengrass girls"
"What?" Both boys exclaimed.
"Yes! This is Miss Emma Elizabeth Lilly Greengrass and her twin sister Miss Melody Jasper Annie Greengrass"
"Dad who are these boys?" Melody asked
"Girls this is Master Draco Malfoy and Master Blaise Zabini. And this is Blaise's father Mr Marcus Zabini."
"Pleased to meet you sir." We said together.
Just then Mum walked up having seen Alice and Bella safely on the train.
"Hello Esme."
"Hello Marcus. Where's your wife?"
"She is just coming now"
While the adults were talking the four of us stood there in silence.
"Well, children you should be getting on the train now"
Once we had said goodbye to everyone we got on to the train and went to find some where to sit but the only free compartment had Blaise and Draco in already so we had no choice but to sit with them for the train journey.
"So you're one of the Greengrass girls then?" Blaise asked me.
"Yep! The one and only! Or should I say the best of the four of us" I answered with a big grin on my face.
"How come you have only just started?" Draco asked Mell.
"Well, we have been travelling with our aunt!" She replied.
"Oh right"
"So where about do you live?" Melody asked both boys.
"Well, I live on the border of London in a mansion which has three hundred acres of land," Blaise told us "And Draco has the same but on three hundred and fifty acres. How about you girls?"
"We live on the border of London as well but we have five hundred acres." We said at the same time which freaked to the boys out abit. For the rest of the journey we spoke about our childhood and our families. Blaise lived with his mum, dad and his older twin brothers and Draco lived with his mum and dad but was an only child. About an hour and half into the journey a girl with the bushiest brown hair opened the door and told us we would arrive at Hogwarts soon and said it would be best if we got our robes on. After that there was an announcement telling us that in five minutes we would arrive at Hodgesmead and that we should leave our stuff on the train and proceed to one of the doors in an orderly fashion.
