I am soooooooo sorry that I haven't updated lately! I AM SO SO SO SO SORRY! FORGIVE ME!!!!!!!!! And I have a question, are any of you Hermione and Ron fans? Cause my tatse has changed to Harry and Ginny, not Harry and Hermione. I'll let you choose for this. But there isn't that much H/H and there wouldn't be much H/G, I'd have to do some editing, but what do you think? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Who are you?" Emily asked the others.

"Ron Weasley"

"Lavender Brown"

"Harry Potter"

"WOW!" exclaimed Emily "Harry Potter! My mom told me about you...but she doesn't like to talk about it. It makes her sad, but she never told me why. By the way, what year are you all in?"

"We are all in 5th." Responded Harry "what about you? I haven't seen you before."

"1st"

Pretty soon they arrived at Hogwarts. They heard a familiar voice "Firs' years! Firs' years thi' way!

"Who's that?" Emily asked nervously, before heading of in Hagrid's direction, staring at his giant size.

"Hagrid." Harry said. "Keeper of the keys and grounds, but also the magical creatures teacher. But don't worry, he's really kind, even though he is large. Don't let it fool you." He said, seeing how frightened she was.

"Ok, see you later!" Emily called, waving her left hand carelessly.

They caught a glimpse of something on her hand. A Scar? A Birthmark? A scratch? What? "What's that on your hand?" Ron asked rudely.

"Ron!" hissed Hermione and lavender, kicking him (well hermione kicked him, not Lavender...she didn't want to kick her precious Ickle Ronniekinns)

"Nothing!" Emily said quickly covering her hand "Nothing at all! Ron shrugged and they headed off for the carigages. When they arrived at the Great Hall, they were starving. They couldn't wait for the sorting ceremony to be over and for the feast to begin. The whole Hall went quiet as the 1st years entered. They saw Emily and waved, she waved back with her right hand, her left hand was jammed in her pocket. She saw Ron and childishly stuck her tounge out at him. Professor Mcgonagall held up the sorting hat and it began to sing.(they forgot that in the movie...)

I "Oh I am the Sorting Hat,

Created by four wizards great'

Godric gryffindor,

Hegela Hufflepuff,

Rowena Ravenclaw,

And

Slazlyar Slytherin.

When they could decide no more,

of where students shall belong,

they put sum brains in me,

So I could decide.

You may belong in Gryffindor,

where they are brave at heart.

Or you may belong in Hufflepuff,

Where they will be true to you.

You may belong in Ravenclaw,

Where those who are wise.

or finally you may belong in Slytherin,

Where those shall use any means to achive what they have set out to do.

So try me on,

Slip me over your head,

Then I shall shout out where you ought to be.

So don't be afraid, don't be shy,

just try me on,

go ahead." /I "Austin, Alex!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

So on and so on "Porter, Emily!"

After a moments pause, the hat said "GRYFFINDOR!"

A FEW MINUETES LATER...

"White, Marha"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

As Martha sat down across from Emily, Emily put up her right hand to give her a high five.

Pretty soon after that, the sorting ceremony ended.

Dumbledore began to speak "This year we will have another Deffence Against the Dark Arts teacher. We really run through them, don't we? Please welcome back, Professor Lupin!"

Everyone (except for the students who never had him and the Slytherins) cheered.

Dumbledore continued "Hargrid has some other duties to do, so he won't have time to teach. Welcome Proffessor Declour"

Everyone clapped, but the slytherins loudest of all, Hagrid wasn't teaching this year! And all of the boys were clapping loudly to

And after a final few words from Dumbledore ("Let the feats begin") The feast begun."I had no idea I was a witch before I came here." Said Martha. "It was such a surprise. My mum was a little disappointed, she wanted me to go to an all girls boarding school. But my father persuaded her how wonderful it would be to have a witch in the family."

"What about you, Emily?" asked Harry. I am half and half. My mum's a witch, but my dad is a muggle. He was really upset when he found out(I am NOT trying to make her seem like Seamus...)He said that they could only stay together if she didn't use magic around him. Magic scares him, he hates it! When I was about three..." Emily stopped talking, and broke out into tears, the past still hurt.

Hermione gave her a reassuring hug and said, "You don't have to finish if you don't want to"

Emily sniffed, and continued her story, "I don't mind." She said, looking up at Hermione. "When I was about three, a thing, a-a-a-a a death eater came to our door. He was sent to kill me and my mum...he wanted to kill my dad too because he is a muggle. I don't know why he wanted to kill me and my mum, we are magical. The death eater was about to kill me, and used a curse...I-umm, and then my mum used a spell to get rid of it. My dad was grateful our lives were saved, but he didn't understand why the police couldn't be called. He had been scared so bad her divorced my mum. He managed to get custody of me too. He didn't want me to grow up with a witch. He didn't know that I'd be one too. When I got my letter he was furious and sent me to live with my mum, he hates me now!" Emily finished the last part in tears.

"That's so sad," said Hermione, giving her another hug.

The feast continued. And finally it was time for bed.

"Come with me!" said Hermione "Gryffindors this way"

Finally they arrived at the Fat Lady.

"Password?" said the portrait. "Chocolate frogs." Responded Hermione.

The Fat Lady swung open reveling a portrait hole to allow them to enter. Hermione directed the girls up one stair case and the boys up another. Then she went to her dormitory and fell asleep.
