Everyone turned their attention to Emilia wanting to hear what had happened. Hermione and Ron were a little less interested, but they still listened in.
"It all started at the Dursley's." Emilia began. "They left to go out and so Harry and I were left by ourselves. The house was quiet for a change, which would allow me time to read. Harry was tired so he lay in his bed and I began to read. It started to get dark but Harry wouldn't turn on the light. Emilia glared at Harry across from her. "So I put the book I was reading away and crawled into my own bed. As soon as I was under the covers we heard a crash from the kitchen."
"Who was it?" Jess asked.
"Well, Harry and I lay there, not moving." Emilia continued, having ignored Jessica's question. "We knew it couldn't be the Dursley's, they were back to quickly. Then we heard voices. We than thought it was definitely burglars. But then Harry brought up the point that burglars would keep their voices down. The people who were down in the kitchen definitely weren't. I grabbed my wand and Harry followed, standing between me and the door. We both held our breath, trying to hear any more sounds of movement. The lock to the bedroom door gave a loud click which caused Harry to jump. The door swung open and I raised my wand. I closed my eyes because of the sudden light coming from the hallway; I opened them when my eyes adjusted but I couldn't see anyone or hear anyone. Harry raised his wand as well and we moved out into the hallway. I followed close behind my wand pointed in front of me. We reached the top of the stairs and Harry stopped so abruptly that he caused me to trip over him and fall halfway down the stairs."
Ron giggled, but immediately stopped when Hermione glared at him.
"Harry continued to stand still and so I looked where he was looking. It was then that I noticed there were people at the bottom looking at us. "Lower your wands, you two, before you take someone's eye out; said a low, growling voice. I recognized it as Moody's so I lowered my wand. Harry didn't right away until another voice spoke. "It's alright, Harry we've come to take you away." Harry lowered his wand. I then recognized who it was."
"Who?" asked, Angel.
"Lupin. I jumped off the stairs and gave him the biggest hug. Harry followed me as a wand to my right lit the hall. I then saw how tired he looked. He smiled at me and Harry and then introduced us to the others. That is where Harry and I met Tonks."
"I miss her." Hermione sighed, remembering the summer.
"Well, the group took us on a long broom ride and that is how we got to You-know-where?"
Angel and Jessica looked confused.
"You-know-where?" Hermione said, moving her finger up and down to emphasize.
"Oh!" Angel and Jess said, finally remembering.
Seeing that they understood, Emilia continued.
"Well, we arrived there and found that Ron and Hermione had been there the whole summer. We went up to the room we would be sharing and well, Harry had a tiny meltdown."
"It was more then tiny." Ron burst out. Harry glared at him.
"Anyways, Harry had a meltdown which scared me into a hysterical fit of pleading him to calm down."
"It didn't work very well." Ron burst in again.
"What set him off?" Jess asked, glancing at Harry next to her.
"None of your business." Harry snapped.
"That's when we ran into Sirius and found out that it was his house.' Emilia whispered. 'It is also when we ran into Bill, Fleur and Jenna. During this time was when Harry had his trial. The morning of it was very hectic. Everyone was running around trying to get things done. Harry left with Mr.Weasley and the rest of us spent our time, cleaning out the house. Harry eventually returned and was cleared of all charges against him."
"How did Draco find out then?" Angel asked.
"His father was around." Harry muttered.
"It was also when Bill broke up with Fleur and started dating Jenna."
"How did that happen?" Jess asked.
"Well, Bill and Charlie had some long talk and then Bill went to find Fleur. Me and Hermione were hanging out with her when Bill came. He shoved us out the door so we couldn't hear them. But we borrowed some of Fred and Georges extendable ears. Bill and Fleur went on talking about the days events, but then he popped the question. Bill asked Fleur to break up with him. I thought Fleur would run out crying but she didn't. Instead she agreed with him and told him that she had always liked Krum. Bill and Fleur left the room and she left that night. That's when Bill began going out with Jenna."
"Who's Jenna?" Angel asked.
"She is an old friend of the families." Ron said.
"Your summer sounds like it was very exciting." Jess added.
"Ya, plus me and Ron got our badges." Hermione commented.
Emilia again noticed the glimmer of the badge and her chest tightened. Her and Harry were jealous, but they didn't let Ron and Hermione know. Suddenly both her and Harry winced.
"What's wrong?" Hermione asked.
"Nothing." Harry said.
"Scar." Emilia said at the same time. Harry gave her a warning glance that seemed to say "You idiot." Emilia ignored him. Her scar had been tingling all summer along with Harry's. They had both also had trouble sleeping. Their nights had been plagued with dreams of dementors, corridors and locked doors. Plus, with Harry almost being expelled, Emilia had been suffering. Now that she was at Hogwarts she felt more relaxed, especially now that Dumbledore was close by. He had come to Grimmauld Place, but had never sought them out. Harry had told her that Dumbledore had been at the hearing but never talked or even looked at him. Which Emilia thought was definitely out of the ordinary.
