"Dad, I'm ready to go. My trunk's all packed and ready to be taken down to Platform 9 and ¾," Emily said, finding her father in the kitchen reading the Daily Prophet. Emily had barely said two words to her father since the party and it had been a little over a month since she found out he was engaged.
"Ok, dear, but I want to tell you something before you leave," Harry said.
"What is it Dad?" Emily said, taking a seat across the table from her father.
"First of all I want to ask you something," Harry said. "Why are you mad at me?"
"What makes you think that?" Emily asked.
"Well you only call me Dad when you are angry," Harry replied.
"Then I guess I'm mad at you," Emily retorted.
"Don't get that attitude with me," Harry said.
"Sorry," Emily said, looking down at the table.
"Now as I was saying, I think you should know about what I read in the Daily Prophet last month," Harry said.
"Ok," Emily said, looking up at her father.
"Well you know that your mother was killed by Voldemort and about my youth with Voldemort," Emily nodded. "He was put into Azkaban after your mother was killed. He now has escaped with the help of the dementors and is running around England. His death eaters are now back with him with the exception of a few. And in today's paper it says that Fudge has disappeared and I think my suspicions have come true," Harry explained.
"What are your suspicions?" Emily asked curiously.
"I think Fudge has joined the death eaters. That's why he put him in Azkaban, because he knew he would escape someday and then Fudge could join his side without any suspicion," Harry said.
"Why does Voldemort want to kill you so much?" Emily asked as her kitten jumped onto her lap. She still hadn't found out a name for it.
"I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm the boy who lived," Harry said. "Oh and I want you to have this." Harry handed Emily a heart shaped locket. Emily picked it up and opened it. On one side was a picture of her mother and father at their wedding day, waving at her happily and on the other side was a picture of Harry's parents on their wedding day, waving as well.
"Thanks, Dad," Emily said putting on the locket.
"You're still mad at me?" Harry asked. Emily ignored him and walked out of the room, placing her kitten in a whicker basket. It started meowing and scratching.
"I'll let you out on the train," Emily whispered. Harry grabbed her truck and put it in the trunk of a ministry car. Parker and his family were already in it. Emily sat down in the back with him, Hailey and Nadine, while Harry, Ron, Allison and the driver sat in front. They drove in silence, except for Hailey and Allison sticking their tongues out at each other and calling each other names. Finally they reached King Cross Station. Ron, Harry, Parker, and Emily passed through the barrier, so they wouldn't attract too much attention. Harry and Ron put their trunks in a back compartment and Harry kissed and hugged Emily goodbye. Emily just waved, said goodbye to Ron and found an empty compartment on the train. Parker soon joined her. Andrew Longbottom soon joined them.
"Are you excited Emily?" Andrew asked.
"Yeah I guess," Emily shrugged.
"What house do you want to get into?" Andrew asked.
"The house my mother was in," Emily replied.
"Weren't your parents in the same house?" Andrew asked. Emily nodded.
"I want to get into Gryffindor!" Parker said.
"I can't decide which one I want to be in, either Gryffindor or Ravenclaw," Andrew replied.
"May I sit here?" a girl with black hair, blue eyes, and glasses asked. "Everywhere else is full."
"Sure," Emily said, moving over so she could sit down.
"I'm Rosie Black," the girl said.
"Any relation to Sirius Black?" Parker asked.
"Not that I know of," Rosie said.
"Oh, well I'm Emily Potter, that's Parker Weasley and that's Andrew Longbottom," Emily said.
"Are you Harry Potter's daughter?" Rosie asked.
"Yeah," Emily said.
"That's cool. What house do you want to get into?" Rosie asked. "I want to be in Gryffindor."
"Me too," Andrew, Parker, and Emily said in unison. "But I also wouldn't mind Ravenclaw," Andrew added.
"Ravenclaw doesn't sound that bad, but I don't want to be in Slytherin," Rosie said.
"My uncle was, but he turned out to be nice and he wants his children to be in Gryffindor," Parker said.
"Oh, that's good. Did you hear that the Dark Lord has escaped from prison?!" Rosie exclaimed.
"You mean Voldemort?" Emily asked. Rosie, Parker and Andrew jumped.
"Emily, why did you have to say that?" Andrew asked.
"Sorry, my Dad just says it all the time, so I find no reason not to say it," Emily replied, shrugging. They then moved into a game of exploding snap. They were disturbed by Zach and Angie.
"Hey guys!" Zach said, making Parker jump and his cards exploded.
"Zach!" Parker yelled.
"Are you guys siblings?" Rosie asked, eyeing the red hair and freckles.
"No, cousins," Parker replied. Rosie nodded and started shuffling the cards again.
"Are you guys ready?" Angie asked.
"Yeah," the four said in unison.
"Are you nervous?" Zach asked.
"Don't say that, you will make them nervous," Angie said. Zach shrugged.
"Hopefully you'll get in Gryffindor like us," Zach said and headed back up the train. "Angie, come quick! Michael Jordan (LOL I thought that would be a cool name for Lee's child) has a tarantula!"
"Coming!" Angie shouted. "Have fun!" She then turned on her heel and left the room.
"Are you still mad at your Dad?" Parker asked.
"What do you think?" Emily retorted.
"I think you are," Parker replied.
"How could you be mad at Harry Potter?" Rosie asked, astounded.
"Easy! When he decides to marry again, you'd feel the same way," Emily replied.
"He's getting remarried?" Rosie asked.
"Yeah," Emily said, and turned to stare out the window. After a few minutes she turned back to her friends.
"Rosie, who is your father?" Emily asked.
"His name is Bob Black. He was born here in England but when he was a year old his mother moved him to America. She was friends with the Potter's and their death made her really upset. She died when my Dad was in his final year, and he decided to come back to England to try and find his father. He hasn't succeeded yet, but he did meet my Mom and once they married he stopped looking and opened a shop in Hogsmeade. But we live outside of London," Rosie explained.
"Then do you think it's possible that Sirius is your grandfather?" Emily asked.
"I've never heard of Sirius Black," Rosie replied.
"Well he's my Dad's godfather, and I call him Grandpa Sirius. But he's never mentioned about being married and having a kid, but you never know, he could of before he went to Azkaban," Emily suggested.
"He was in Azkaban?" Rosie asked.
"Yeah, but he didn't commit the crime, he was framed. In our Dad's seventh year he was found innocent and now he's been free for over ten years," Parker explained.
"Oh, what crime did they think he committed?" Rosie asked, interestedly.
"They thought he betrayed the Potter's, he was their secret keeper, and they also thought he killed wasn't it like thirteen muggles and Peter Petigrew. But it was actually Pettigrew who was the secret keeper and killed all those people, but he was still found innocent!" Andrew explained.
"Why would he be found innocent if he actually killed all those people?" Rosie asked.
"Because Fudge is a supporter of Voldemort," Emily said.
"He is?" Parker asked.
"That's what my Dad thinks," Emily said.
"You're still calling him Dad, you must be angry with him," Parker said.
"I am," Emily said determinedly.
"We should be there soon," Andrew said.
"I hope so, my stomach's growling," Rosie complained.
"Mine too," Parker said. There was a meowing sound from a whicker basket in the corner.
"Who has a cat?" Rosie asked.
"Oh I almost forgot about her! She fell asleep and so I didn't take her out of the basket!" Emily said, picking up the kitten.
"She's so cute! What's her name?" Rosie asked.
"I don't know, why don't you name it," Emily suggested.
"Ok, I'll tell you after I get food in my stomach. I can't think on an empty stomach," Rosie said.
"Ok," Emily said, putting the kitten back in the basket.
"We'll be reaching Hogwarts in ten minutes!" The conductor said.
"We better get into our robes then," Rosie said.
"Yeah," Emily replied. But instead she turned to stare out the window as Hogsmeade station drew closer and closer.
"Well this is my new life," Emily whispered.
A/N: I still can't decide what the name for the cat is. But it will be decided in the next chapter. So continue with those reviews and ideas of the cat's name. How do you like it so far? Is it still boring? I think it is a little, but it should get better in the next few chapters. Because, well they'll be in Hogwarts, and Hogwarts is always exciting.
