Some of the characters are mine, and the rest to J.K. Rowling.
Harry Potter and the Princess of Emeraude

A/N: I know this first chapter may not be good, but it'll get better, I promise! R/R, no flames.
Chapter 1: Back to Hogwarts
Harry sighed as he looked out the window of Uncle Vernon's car. He was on his way to
get on the Hogwarts Express, But the car trip seemed like it would never end. Finally the car
stopped at the train station. Harry happily jumped out of the car and grabbed his stuff.
Hedwig hooted unhappily as Harry almost dropped her cage.
"Sorry." He apologized as he fumbled with the latches on his trunk. He flipped it open
and grabbed an extra robe and stuffed it over Hedwig's cage so no one would notice the snowy
white owl. Uncle Vernon gave him an evil look and Harry calmed down. He couldn't wait till he
could get away from Uncle Vernon and find Ron and Hermione. He also couldn't wait until he got
to Hogwarts, Harry's wizarding school. As he walked towards platform 9 and 3/4, he ran directly
into Fred and George Weasley.
"Hello, Harry." Fred said, a mischeivious smile on his face.
"We wanted to show you someth-" George was interrupted by Hermione's voice.
"Harry!" She called.
"Hi, Hermione." He greeted.
"Harry, we'll see you later." Fred and George muttered, walking off.
"What was that all about?" Hermione asked, watching them go.
"I don't know." Harry replied, wheeling his cart through the barrier. They loaded their stuff into a empty compartment, and went looking for Ron. They soon found him, with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. After a quick conversation, they rushed back onto the train as it pulled away from the station.
"Who do you think they got for a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this year?" Hermione asked, trying to make a conversation.
"Who? It's more like what." Ron muttered, popping a chocolate frog in his mouth.
Harry remained silent, deep in thought. Every year they ended up with a new DADA teacher. So far, they'd had a servant of Voldemort, a fame-obsessed fraud, a werewolf, and just last year, an imposter working for Voldemort. What would they get this year? An elf was his guess.
The compartment door opened, and Skuld walked in. Skuld was a fifth year girl with messy black hair, and big, blue eyes. But there was one thing few people new about Skuld- she was related to Sirius Black, Harry's godfather.
"'Lo, Skuld." Harry said, watching the girl sit down on the floor.
"Hello." She said back, refusing to look at anyone.
"There's seats for that." Ron remarked, pointing to an empty seat by Hermione.
"I don't plan to stay long. I just thought I'd say hello." She stood up, and walked out.
"Is it just me, or did she seem distant?" Hermione asked. Normally, Skuld was cheerful and you couldn't shut her up. But today, she was acting odd. They didn't have time to discuss it any more, because the door opened suddenly to reveal a fifth year Ravenclaw with middle-length brown hair and razor sharp green eyes.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I.. I didn't mean to come in here. I hope I didn't interrupt anything." She apologized.
"No." Hermione replied. "It's okay."
"Oh, well, I'm being rude. My name is Sandy. Fifth year Ravenclaw. You?" She smiled happily.
"Hermione Granger. And these two are Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. We're all fifth year Gryffindors."
"Oh really? I've always heard Gryffindor was nice... Well, I better get back to my friends before they come looking for me. See you at dinner?"
Hermione nodded and Sandy left. Harry looked at Ron to see what he thought.
"Ron?" He asked, eyeing his friend closely.
"She was cute." He said after a moment and Hermione laughed.
"She wouldn't give you the time of day."
"And how do you know?"
"Trust me. I've seen her around before."
Harry rolled his eyes and laughed while Hermione and Ron bickered about Sandy. He personally thought she was nice.
A/N: Chapter 2 coming soon, but I got to get 2 reveiws, first.
