CHAPTER 8
- Travelling Time - The next day Emma was exited, she was finally getting out of the hospital wing, but Madam Pompey had to give her a final exam before she could leave. This day was also the last day of school and the day the results from the exams should be put up.
Before leaving Madam Pompey told her to take it carefully and Emma promised to do that. Going towards the common room she saw a lot of pupils hanging around the board chatting lively with each other she came closer and then she saw Hermione squeeze trough the crowd and she smiled happily at her; speaking in an happy voice:
- Guess who are the two students with the fiinest grades? ?She continued?You and me! We had almost top score in all of our topics except
potion.
- Is it true? I'd never taught that I would make it Emma said hugging
Hermione.
Harry and Ron come to them they had also passed with good grades and they celebrated it with some candy that the twins George and Fred had sneaked out from the kitchen. Soon it was time for the final supper in the great hall. Gryffindor had yet again won the house cup and the Grand Hall was decorated with orange banners hanging from the walls.
Of course everybody had heard of Emma's adventure and she was greeted with hand clapping when she entered the hall together with Harry, Hermione and Ron. She sat down at the table and looked up towards the teachers table, she caught her grandpas eye and smiled at him, he smiled back giving her a look she understood very well. Beside him sat professor Mcgonagall she looked chocked Emma wondered why but didn't really care. Her eyes wandered towards Hagrid; she caught his eye; he looked suspiciously at her nodding against Dumbledore as to ask a question Emma gave him a puzzled look as to tell him they could talk later he nodded to confirm that he had understood. The talk faded when Dumbledore stood up to speak:
- Another year has passed and it is now time for the house cup to take
place in the winning house, but first let me read the points at fourth place Hufflepuff with 220 points (clapping) at third place Rawenclaw with
340 points (clapping) on second place Slytherin with 360 points and on first place Gryffindor with 470 points (the roaring never seemed to end but
Dumbledore put out his hand and the hall went silent again) Well done
Gryffindor, well done to you all. Now let the feast begin! He clapped his hand and in one second the tables was filled with food. Emma and the others had a lovely evening chatting with the other students and for once Harry wasn't in the spotlight. Taking Emma's hand under the table Harry taught how lucky he was to have her beside him in that very moment; she could as easily been lying dead at the hospital wing. Shacking the sad taught out of his head he looked at her and she looked back at him and smiled. After the feast the four of them got up to the common room, taking a shortcut they reached it before the other pupils did. With the whole room by themselves the two couples went aside. Harry drew Emma closer to him and she putted her arms around his neck, they first gave each other a hug and she whispered in his ear " oh Harry I have missed you so, I don't know how I survived this past weeks without you, I love you" with this words Harry drew her even closer to him while feeling a rush of joy and love inside Harry whispered back " I love you too" before he took her head in his hands and their lips joined in a kiss witch was filled with love and they now understood that their kisses they before taught passionate was not even close to the real thing.
- And what do we have here? Said a surprised voice, it was Fred
Emma and Harry drew from each other, busted?#060;/P - You two are together? Asked George (the rest of the Gryffindors standing
behind them)
- Erm?Yes we are said Harry, putting his arm around Emma's shoulder
- Since when? - Since Christmas, Emma said smiling Then Hermione and Ron came, hand in
hand - My, my said Fred smiling, you two too? I had never taught of that, Ron
why haven't you told us?
- Is it a thing to be told Emma asked in return, Fred didn't answer Later that night Emma and Hermione finally could get some sleep after tons of questions from the other girls in their room. The next day they were all leaving Hogwarts and while packing Emma remembered that she didn't know were she would stay for the summer, she couldn't possibly go back to the leaking Cauldron again so she told Hermione that she should be right back and went up to her grandfather's room. When she came in she saw Hagrid inside sitting there alone she went in saying hello him. A second later her grandpa showed the both of them inside and spoke. - Hello Hagrid, Emma I guess that you wonder where you are going to stay
this summer.
- Yes sir I do, she said In case of Hagrid not knowing the truth
- You don't have to be formal Emma, he knows,
- Ok, so where am I going to live? - In my summer place, our summer place I mean, with me and your grandma and
I taught Hagrid would get you there. The whole thing was complicated; she had to follow the other pupils down to the train but she wouldn't get on it?Hagrid would smuggle her back to Hogwarts where she with help of flame powder would travel to Dumbledore's cottage with was named "Moonlight Cottage" She went back to the dormitory and told the others that she wouldn't have time to say goodbye to them when they was at the train station and she told them about her grandfathers plan. So just before leaving Hogwarts they all hugged farewell and Emma kissed Harry goodbye and they left for Hogsmedge. The whole thing went as planned and Emma watched the train leave felling empty inside, she had promised Harry to write at least everyday but knew that she would miss him tremendously. On their way back Emma and Hagrid got their chat were Emma explained everything that had happened that year except for one thing. Coming in at Hogwarts and walking towards the stove in the Great Hall Emma took a fist of flame powder trowed it into the fire, stepping into it she tanked Hagrid one last time and then yelled "Moonlight Cottage" and she vanished. Four hours later Harry stepped into his uncle's car and on the journey home he taught to himself that it would be useless expecting a letter so soon from Emma but when he got up to his room he found a brown owl waiting for him with a letter at his leg.
