Chapter 2
I own nothing. Bits of cussing here. A bit of sarcasm and mocking.
Emily POV:
After I finished packing, Draco helped me with my trunk as I grabbed my bathroom bag, broom, wand, and regular bag. As soon as I was downstairs, I was bombarded with hugs. Mostly from my mom. "Best of luck. Hope you get into Slytherin." I nodded, wishing the exact opposite. "Well, let's get going. Our flight leaves in an hour."
After saying goodbye to my parents, we had left to go to the airport. From there, we boarded a plane(big shocker there) that was supposed to be taking us to England. I had to sit next to Draco and I made the mistake of falling asleep. I was awakened by the pleasant calls of "Wake up, Dawn. We're there." and "Get up you lazy bum." I woke up and got off. From there we went to the 'Malfoy Manor' and they got a house elf to show me to my room.
The three weeks passed slowly. Who knew that the Malfoy family were such downers? We were at King's Cross station and to get to Platform 9 and three quarters, you had to walk through a wall.
"A solid wall? Am I the only one who sees that this is crazy?" Narcissa laughed. "Go on, watch Draco." Draco walked into the wall and disappeared. I must have looked like a deer caught in the head lights. "Wow." Narcissa ushered me forward and I copied Draco. "Suh-weet!" I had reached the Platform.
"Now, get onto the train, Emily, dear. Lucius will take care of your luggage." I grabbed my regular messenger bag and boarded the train. I tried to get away from Draco but he seized me by my wrist and pulled me into a compartment with a pug-faced girl and two rather 'large' looking friends. "Emily, this is Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle." My eyes widened and I held back a laugh. "Think our names are funny?" Pansy the pug piped up. "No, just yours." I replied.
She scowled and sat back down when Draco held up his hand. "Sit with us. And be sure to stay away from Mudbloods like Granger." Pansy laughed. I remained standing. Without a word I left. "Where d'you think you're going?" I turned. "I'm going to find a compartment that I can have to myself." I turned and swiftly made my way to the back of the train. The last compartment with a few seats left had three kids my age and a Professor.
"Would it be alright if I sat here? I'm trying to get away from someone." The boy with glasses and a familiar looking scar looked up and I gasped. "Harry?" I asked. He nodded slowly, not remembering me. "It's me, Emily. Don't you remember? We used to play together when we were younger." He looked puzzled. "Are you sure you don't have me confused with someone else?" I shook my head, grinning like an idiot. "No, I wouldn't mistake that scar for any other one."
Harry finally remembered. "Emma!" He jumped up and hugged me. "How are you?" Harry pulled away and opened his mouth to respond but the door slid open. "There you are, what are you doing hanging out here?" Malfoy appeared with his gang and Pansy the pug.
"Trying to get away from you. Now go away." I sat down next to a girl with slightly bushy light brown hair like my own. "I thought I told you to stay away from Mudbloods like her." He gestured to bushy haired girl. "Well obviously, I don't care what you told me. And I think that your idea of dirty blood and MY idea of dirty blood are different. Now run along and go play."
Malfoy smirked. "Well, then. I guess I have no choice than to tell your mother." I leaped up. "You wouldn't." He only smirked wider. I huffed. "Fine, you lead the way." But I had no intention on following him. As soon as he walked out, I closed and locked the door. He banged on the door. "Let me in." I pointed to my ears and shook my head. "I can't hear you." I said and then I drew the blinds.
Harry was laughing and I turned to find myself face to face with the bushy haired girl. She smiled. "I'm Hermione. And this is Ron." She gestured towards the red head and then she held out her hand and I shook it. "I'm Emily, call me Emma or Em." We all took our seats and the train started up. Ron spoke up. "That was really brave, the way you stood up to him like that." I nodded. "I had enough of him." I simply stated.
"So, are you and Hermione related?" I looked up. "No." We both replied at the same time. We looked at each other and started to laugh. "Really?" I nodded. The professor woke up and noticed us. "Oh, hello there." We all smiled and waved. "I think we woke him." I whispered to Harry. "No, no, I think it was about time I woke up." Professor said.
"Hey, I know you." I said to him. "Yes, I think you do. I'm surprised you even remember me, you were only six." His eyes swept over me. "You look so much like your mother. With your father's eyes." I mouthed the last part. "I know. I have heard that ever since I was," I counted on my fingers. "Seven. I think." He chuckled. "My name is Remus Lupin. I will be your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this year." He had gotten up and went to walk out into the hall when he saw Draco waiting for me. "Damn." I muttered.
"Hello Professor." He said. "Hello there." Lupin replied, but then walked out of sight. "Will I need to buy pest repellent to make you go away?" Ron piped up. "Oooh! Can we watch him shrivel up and die?" I laughed. "Dawn, you wouldn't want me to owl your mother to tell her that you have been associating with a Mudblood now, would you?" I smiled up at him. "Honestly? I don't give a rat's ass. Now, if you're down bugging us, leave."
I gave him my best death glare. "Fine, you leave me no choice." He simply stated, looking taken back by my choice of words. "Just hope that you're in Slytherin."
"Is that your house?" I asked. He nodded gloatingly. "Then I hope I'm not in it." His smirk faded. He opened his mouth to speak but I cut him off. "We could throw insults back and forth until we're blue in the face, but I don't think you would want to waste the time you could be using to shag Pansy there." He glared at me then finally retreated. "You'll be sorry." I smiled. "Yeah, sorry that I ever met your ass."
I looked at Harry and Ron. They both had their mouths opened. "You want to attract flies?" I asked, leaning forward to close their mouths. As I touched Harry's chin, a shock went through me like I was just struck by lightening. I pulled back quickly. "Sorry." All of a sudden it got real cold and all the happiness was drowned from the compartment. The lights went out and I saw a hooded figure appear at the door. "Emma? You look pale." Hermione stated. The next thing I remember, was a woman screaming and blackness.
