I've had some terrible writers block with this story and after several months and numerous rewrites, I've finally written enough to post.

Disclaimer: Same as Always


Two weeks into the break and already Emma was sure that she was going to explode. Everyone has their differences but she wasn't quite sure how much more of this she was going to be able to handle. Right after they had arrived home, Ron had caused such a fuss about Ginny spending so much time with Harry that it had caused a huge fight between Ron and Ginny. Then to make matters worse, the twins had sided with Ginny and Ron had turned to Neville and Emma for support; which they were not willing to do. In the end, Mrs. Weasley ordered everyone outside and insisted on having a long talk with Ron. Whatever she had said didn't seem to be working and Ron had been in a foul mood since then.

On the flip side of this, there had been quite a lot of togetherness between Harry and Ginny. Like today; Harry and Ginny were flying around the mock quiddich pitch while Percy studied and Neville was working on his greenhouse. The twins were doing whatever it was that they did when nobody knew where they were and Emma was currently lying on the roof of their house wearing a pair of sunglasses, her tube top and a pair of shorty shorts.

Alice was in the kitchen when a large eagle owl soared through the open window and perched itself on the kitchen table. Rather shocked, she hurried over and tried to look at the letter that was clenched in its beak but the owl hopped away and glared defiantly at her as she furrowed her brow.

"Emma, can you come down here, please?" Alice called as she starred up at the roof.

"What's going on?" Emma asked as she jumped off of the roof and landed on the ground.

"There's an owl on our kitchen table and it won't let me get near it. You're good with animals, so I thought maybe you could give it a shot." Alice stated as Emma smiled.

Emma nodded and followed Alice into the house. Sure enough, there on the kitchen table, there was an enormous owl on the table bearing an envelope with the Ministry of Magic's seal on it. Gingerly, Emma reached for the letter and was immensely relieved when the owl released the envelope. Once Emma had the letter securely in her hands, the owl hooted and took off through the window again. There wasn't anything to special about the envelope but Emma was beginning to get a queer feeling as she flipped it over and slid her thumb nail under the red wax seal.

Gently, she pulled the parchment out of the envelope and unfolded it. Though, there was nothing that could have prepared her for what was penned out in the letter. Scanning it quickly, she wasn't sure whether to scream or to cry. That's when her knees gave out and she collapsed onto the floor. Of course, Alice was panicking but before she could offer Emma a hand; the teenager was up off the floor and running for her life. Alice watched as Emma grabbed her track jacket off the floor and darted out the door.

Emma might have made a clean escape if it weren't for the fact that her soul was tied to someone else. Just as she crossed into the woods, Fred felt something wasn't right. He and George had been working on their latest invention, Skiving Snackboxes, when he was suddenly struck with the urge to look out the window.

"What's going on?" George asked as he wandered over to the window to stand beside his twin.

"Something's not right about Emma." Fred whispered as George raised an eyebrow.

"Maybe we should…" George started but Fred shook his head.

"I'll go see what's going on." He stated and George frowned.

George starred at his twin who was already heading down the stairs. He understood that there were bonds deeper than blood out there but he wasn't sure if he was seriously okay was Fred being tied to Emma. He'd seen the soul bond getting deeper every day and it was only a matter of time before Fred finally admitted that Emma was his soul mate. Turning back to the window, he watched as Fred hurried across the field and disappeared into the woods.


After rereading this, I'm actually kinda inspired to start working on the next bit of the story line. I'm not sure how exactly i'm going to incorporate the Chamber of Secrets story line because, to be perfectly frank, its my least favorite part of the series.
