Chapter 2

The Ministry of Magic

They arrived at the Ministry of Magic in mere seconds. For appararating was most likely the fastest way of traveling in the magic world.

Artie led her down a long corridor that had people coming from one place to another. Emily had no idea where it led to, but she really didn't care. For what did it matter where it went, for she Emily Jasson was finally seeing something was part of the Wizarding world. Magic was used freely here and Emily saw so many different spells going on in the rooms that they passed, it was all so amazing. Emily couldn't wait to get her own wand so that she could do her own spells.

Emily was so busy trying to look into the different rooms that she hadn't even realized that they had stopped until Artie placed a hand on her shoulder. She instantly shrugged it off and looked up at him.

"Are we there yet, which one is your office?" she asked turning to look at her surroundings as though there would be a big sign saying 'Artie's office here.' With an arrow pointing directly at it.

"No, just wait right here while I go talk to somebody important." Artie told her. He took one step foreword, stopped and turned back around to look at her. "I mean it Emily stay right here, don't even think about moving from that stop. Do you hear me?" he told her very sternly, and waited for her to answer him.

"Yes, Artie I hear you." She told him annoyed that he had to repeat himself. It was like he didn't trust her to listen to what he was saying. Of course he had only asked if she had heard him. It didn't matter that she was going to disobey him, he didn't know that she would, he should have a little faith in her. Didn't say anything about listening to him. And in her books there was a huge difference.

Artie stared at her for a second longer trying to tell weather or not she was lying. He seemed satisfied and turned to go talk with the important person. Emily watched him walk up to a man with blond hair that was slightly going gray. The man was wearing a lime green bowler, a blue tie, with a plain green suit, then as though he hadn't hurt the eyes sight enough he had thrown on the most ugliest brown shoes. Emily thought that he was the weirdest man that she had ever seen.

The two of them looked like they might talk for a while, Emily thought. So never one to listen to Artie she decided to look around a bit. Besides how did he expect her to stand still when there were so many fascinating things that she could be looking at?

She looked around her trying to find something that might interest her. What she found was an open door. Deciding that this was the best place to start she went and looked inside of it. It was a very small room. It was really cramped with two desks, two chairs and lots of filing cabinets.

A man with flaming red hair that was just beginning to go bald currently occupied one of the chairs. But he looked like a good-natured person. He also looked like a very fun man, unlike Artie. So what better thing to do then to go talk to him. Emily walked into the office, but the man didn't seem to notice her.

"Hello, what's your name?" she asked, the man glanced up startled. He then smiled at her.

"Hi, my names Arthur Weasley. And what would your name be little girl?" he asked kindly.

"Emily Jasson, and I'm not so little. I'm six-year-old and that's big. Do you want some gum?" she asked suddenly. Both her mother and Artie didn't mind muggle things and weren't averse to buying Emily and her siblings muggle candy.

"What's gum?" he asked, "Is it something that muggle's created. How does it work?" he excitedly asked. Emily looked at him startled, didn't everyone know what gum was? Apparently not, so she was about to set into an explanation of it when she was so rudely interrupted.

"Emily Jasson! What did I tell you!" Artie cried as he walked into the room. He had been glaring at Emily when he came in, but he then turned towards the Arthur Weasley. "I'm sorry Mr. Weasley if Emily has interrupted your work. Emily doesn't like listening to me."

"I think that you told me that I should never leave the house without shoes." Emily answered him, while trying not to laugh. Artie always looked funny when he was mad. His face got so red and it always seemed like his nose was going to start breathing out steam.

"Emily this is not funny. You have disturbed Mr. Weasley's work. That's very rude of you. Come on now, I think you have kept Mr. Weasley long enough from his work." Artie stated and walked out of the room.

"Here, take the gum, it's good. All you have to do is chew on it till it rums out of flavor." Emily handed him a piece of gum. She then followed Artie out of the office.

He was standing there waiting for her. His foot was tapping the ground impatiently. She took her sweet time walking over to him. It didn't matter what she did now. She was already in trouble. For Artie was sure to tell her mother about how she hadn't done what she had been told. So what could it hurt if she continued to be defiant? When she was finally standing in front of him, Artie was still in a very bad humor.

"Come now, Artie, you only asked if I heard you. I told you the truth I had heard you. What you missed was the fact that I didn't say that I would listen to you. There is a difference you know." She stated lightly.

"Stay here this time. I need to finish talking to this man. This is a very important conversation and I don't need you to mess it up." He told her, clearly ignoring what she had said.

He then walked off and left her standing there, staring after him. He just walked over to the blond man and continued to talk to him as though he hadn't even left. He was such a meany, she thought, glaring at the pair of them. Well I'll just tell mum that he left me all alone. We'll see how he likes that. Just the image of her mother yelling at Artie was enough to make her happy.

It was then that it came. Her surroundings became blurry. She could no longer see Artie and the other man. It was all blocked out and replaced with another image.

Emily saw a man walking down a long hallway. She could tell that it must be a hall somewhere in the Ministry of Magic, for it looked exactly like the one that she was in. He was wearing all black. His black hair was long and pulled back into a simple ponytail. His eyes were just as dark as coal. His face was hard, and there didn't seem to be any thing soft about him. In fact he seemed almost a bit sinister. But something about him told her that he was a good man, deep down.

Then she looked to see where he was going. Her eyes widened in surprise at what she saw.

There she was. She was standing at the other end of the hallway. Artie was talking with the man that he had been. Then her other self turned quickly to look down the hall. Her eyes saw the man in black.

The real Emily turned to look at the man again. He had stopped dead in the middle of the hall. He was staring directly at the other Emily. He seemed to have seen a ghost. For his face had trained of all color. He didn't look to well. In fact it looked like he was going to fall to the ground any minute.

It seemed like forever before he had regained his composure. When he did he took one shaky step forward.

Emily was eager to find out what he did. Why did he seem so upset when he had seen her? She watched eagerly as the man started to walk towards her.

Then just as he had reached the other Emily, everything started to go blurry again. No, she thought angrily what happened, she had to see what happened. But to no avail, she was brought back with a start. Her eyes blinked trying to bring everything back into focus.

At first Emily was a bit confused on what had happened. Her mother had told her about divination, but this didn't sound like what she had been talking about, this just seemed different. She wasn't sure how, but it was.

Then it hit her. She had done this before.

Flashback

She had been around four, and her mother had been pregnant with Katie. Her mother hadn't known that she was pregnant at the time. Jane had been reading to Zack who had been curled up in Jane's lap. Artie was at his desk working on some paper. She herself had been sitting on the floor playing with her mother's wand.

It had happened the same way that it had happened this time. Everything had sort of gone blurry and such. Then all of a sudden she saw a baby, but it wasn't Zack. The baby had sort of pink hair and its eyes were open enough to see it's green eyes.

The scene with the baby had only lasted for a few seconds before it changed into a different one. This one she saw what looked like a five-year-old that Emily thought must have been the older version of the baby. For the child also had red hair and green eyes. The child called out to her mother. Emily then saw her mother, Jane. Jane glanced at the red haired child. Then Zack appeared in the scene, he was planning on tripping the girl, for he had stuck out his leg in front of her as she was running. This was when Emily had seen herself. She was sitting in a chair reading a book was inside of another book. That was when that vision had ended.

Emily had been confused and had started to cry. Which then had Zack crying as well. Which made both Artie and her mother to yell at her. They both comforted Zack and had ignored her.

End Flashback

Emily had a remarkable memory and was able to remember minute details about anything. She also could remember some stuff when she had been really little, like when she had taken her first step, When her mother had married Artie, when they had brought Zack home. She remembered a lot of that stuff, and in detail too.

Maybe this vision was like the last one. They seemed pretty similar. Maybe they were. Glancing up at Artie, Emily saw that he was still talking to the weird looking man. This was going to take forever, she thought. It was then that Emily turned to look in the other direction and her eyes widened in shock at what she saw.

AN: So that was chapter two. This is sort of not really a cliffy, cause come on just guess what she saw in the hallway. I like practically gave it away.

I hope that you guys review, come on we all know reviewing is fun.
