Chapter Two-Emma

Emma was more nervous than she had ever been before. Her dad had gotten transferred from America to England and Emma was starting at Hogwarts because her parents wanted her to be closer to them. They had then landed her at Hogwarts. Not that Emma thought there was anything wrong with going to Hogwarts. It seemed like it was a great school and she could not wait to meet her new headmaster: Albus Dumbledore, the greatest sorcerer in the world. It was just that Emma had grown up in America. Everything she had ever known was there. Emma was also incredibly patriotic, too. She felt as if she was betraying her country. Saying good-bye to her friends had been incredibly hard, but saying good-bye to her boyfriend had been even harder. Emma had been going out wither her boyfriend, John, for two years and they were very much in love. Emma thought she could never love anyone more, but she was in for a surprise! Emma and John said a long distance relationship would work just fine. John, who was a wizard, would send letter from him and Emma's friends every week. When Emma and John had said good-bye, it was very said that even John cried a little. As a treat, Emma's parents took her to Australia for a summer trip. There Emma had met a girl named Hermione Granger. They had become instant friends. Each of them had assumed the other was a muggle, but when Hermione said what her headmaster's name was, Emma could not believe it. Hermione was just as excited as Emma was. Emma was also quite happy when she found out Hermione was muggleborn. Emma was also muggleborn and she was extremely nervous of being made fun of and not fitting because of it. In America, her friends did not care at all; they accepted her because of who she was. Even though some of them were purebloods, they could care less about her parents being muggles. Hermione let Emma know that a lot of muggleborns were at Hogwarts and she would fit in fine. Hermione and Emma grew to be best friends over their vacation and after being best friends with guys for two years, Hermione told Emma she felt like she needed a change and the girl's planned on going to Diagon Alley after they had both gotten home for Australia.

With her parents permission, once Emma had left Australia, she packed for Hogwarts, said good-bye to her parents the day before the Hogwarts Express left for Hogwarts. Emma promised to write her parents throughout the year and left for Diagion Alley the week before school started. She met Hermione right where they had planned and once they had gotten all of their school supplies, Emma had received a visit from an older woman, by the name of Professor McGonagall. With her, she has brought a dirty old black hat. This hat had sorted Emma into a Hogwarts house called Gryffindor. Emma and Hermione were so excited because Hermione was in Gryffindor as well. Emma was also pleased to learn that a nice girl, by the name of Lavender Brown, was in Gryffindor as well. Hermione and Emma spent the night at an Inn in the muggle world with Hermione's parents. The next morning they left for Platform 9 and ¾ together.

While Hermione said good-bye to her parent at Platform 9 and ¾ she saw a very good-looking boy with black hair and blue (green) eyes. His hair was dark and messy. He had an athletic build and was about a head taller than Emma. The boy looked familiar, but he was too far away for Emma to tell who he was. He looked as if he was in the same year as her and was excited to see that he was looking at her as well. Hermione had told Emma that she would be saving two seats for her other friends, Ron and Harry. Emma was excited to meet more new people that she could become friends with. Around five minutes before the train departed, a bright red hair boy walked into the train compartment she was sitting in with Hermione. The boy has green eyes, some freckles like Emma did, and a pointy nose. The one that followed, to Emma's delight, was the boy she saw when she was waiting for Hermione on Platform 9 and ¾. He seemed as surprised to see Emma, as she was to see him. Emma could not help admiring his looks. Then she reminded herself that she loved John and looked away.
