After finishing up breakfast Emma and Hermione took a look at their schedules. They had all the same classes except that Emma had Divination when Hermione had Ancient Runes. Emma had Double Potions first thing with the Slytherins of course. After that she had Defense Against the Dark Arts with the Slytherins again. In fact she had almost every class with them! Only Herbology was with the Hufflepuffs.

"Ugh, Hermione was it just me or did you notice that we have every class except one with the Slytherins!" Emma asked.

Harry and Ron sat down looking very unhappy indeed as Hermione was agreeing with Emma.

"What is it boys?" Emma asked seeing their faces.

"Malfoy of course," muttered Ron.

Emma sighed, "What'd he do this time?" she said tiredly.

"We were supposed to have Quidditch practice tonight but that stupid little prat has gone and booked the field after we had it booked!" shouted the team captain Harry.

"What!" Emma exploded, "I got up and ran for three hours to find that all my hard work has gone down the drain when that stupid little prat has booked it!"

"'Fraid so…" said a very disappointed Ron.

"Speaking of the little bastard, look who it is" said Harry just as Draco walked into the Great Hall.

"Well if it isn't my favourite little Gryffindors!" he said overly happy.

"Fuck off Malfoy!" shouted Ron.

"Now now Weasley, lets not have that kind of language. After all this is a place of education!" said Malfoy as one of the professors walked by.

"Shove off you little prat! As if you haven't said worse you man-whore!" said Emma.

Malfoy looked over at her and glared while looking her up and down. Emma rolled her eyes and stood up. She walked over to him and leaned in to whisper something in his ear. Malfoy was looking very smug as she walked over. Then as she was about she reach and whisper into his ear she did something else. A great 'SMACK' was heard throughout the hall soon to be followed by laughter as Emma walked out of the Hall. She went up to the dorms even though classes still didn't start for another hour. She took a quick shower after all that running and set off to wonder the grounds. Emma stepped outside into the nice September weather and began to walk towards the Forbidden Forest. She walked a ways in to escape the heat as it was warming up. She walked in a few more feet when something grabbed her. She tried to scream but s hand covered her mouth. The person, whoever it was, turned her around to face him and Emma let out a surprised gasp to see Bellatrix Lestrange! Emma now tried even harder to scream and began to kick Lestrange. Emma managed to hit her in the shin causing her to release her grip on Emma's mouth. She screamed and tried to break free off Bellatrix's grip.

"Let go of me you foul Death-Eater!" Emma screamed as Bellatrix's grip on her arm tightened.

"Not a chance now shut the hell up!" Bellatrix whispered.

"NO!" Emma screamed again, "Help! Someone please! HELP!"

"Silencio!" Bellatrix whispered but it was a little too late.

"Locomotor Mortis!" shouted a voice not to far away. The spell hit Bellatrix and she managed to drop Emma on her head, knocking her out. The last thing she saw was platinum blonde hair and felt strong arms picking her up. She woke later in the Hospital Wing.

"She's awake!" someone whispered as Emma groaned. She suddenly was in a death grip hug and opened her eyes to see very bushy hair.

"Hermione let her breathe!" said the familiar voice of Ron from somewhere nearby.

"Oh, sorry! It's just Emma you've been out for three days!" said Hermione worriedly.

Emma sat up bolt right as she heard this. "Three days!" she said astonished.

She looked around and saw Harry, Hermoine, Ron, Madame Pomfrey, Draco Malfoy, and, wait DRACO MALFOY! She pointed at him and shouted, "What the bloody hell is he doing here!"

Draco glared at her and said, "Well I can see I'm not wanted here," and left.

"Emma, you know he's the one who brought you out of the forest," said Hermione softly. Emma looked at her like she was crazy and began to laugh.

"No seriously, why was he here?" she asked still thinking it was a joke. Harry and Ron glanced at each other while Hermione began to speak again.

"Emma, we're serious … that's why he was here…" she said even softer. It suddenly all came rushing back to Emma, the forest, being attacked, Bellatrix Lestrange, being knocked out and the last thing she saw being, "Platinum blonde hair…" Emma muttered.

"What?" asked Hermione.

"Huh? Oh nothing…" Emma said. None of them looked terribly convinced but let it drop anyway.

"So, what did I miss during classes?" she asked trying to change the subject.

"Well nothing really, all the teachers did was tell us to 'study hard' and stuff about the NEWTS being this year. You know, the usual," said Harry.

Emma was relieved that she hadn't missed anything important but still didn't want to go to classes as she left the Hospital Wing. Madame Pomfrey had informed her that she would be missing the rest of the day's classes so the four seventh years headed up to the deserted Gryffindor Common Room. Emma and Hermione sat and talked while Harry and Ron played a few games of chess, resulting in Harry losing every time. After a while the boys got bored and Hermione suggested they play a different game.

"Well, we would but the is absolutely nothing to play!" said Ron like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Emma who was now reading a book perked up at this.

"We could play truth or dare," she suggested.

"What?" Harry and Ron said at the same time.

"It's a Muggle game where one person chooses someone and asks them 'truth or dare' if they pick truth then you have to ask them something personal and they have to answer with the truth. But if they pick dare then you have to make them do something embarrassing like walk downstairs naked and they have to do it. Oh, and everyone has three chicken-outs." Emma said.

"Well, that sounds pretty fun, only what are chicken-outs?" asked Ron.

"It just means you can say you don't want to do it," said Hermione quickly.

"Alright lets play!" said Emma, "I'll start off. Ronny-kinns truth or dare?"

Ron glared at her and said "Dare." Emma grinned evilly and whispered something to Harry. Harry grinned too and nodded his head in agreement. Emma turned to Ron, "I dare you to kiss Hermione!" she said.

Ron looked horrified, almost as horrified as Hermione. They looked at each other and gulped.

"Do I have too?" Ron whined.

"Well you could always chicken, but I think it would be easier to just kiss her," said Harry. Ron glared at him then looked over to Hermione.

"This … um … this doesn't mean that I like you or anything," said Ron. Hermione nodded and Ron leaned in to give her a quick peck on the lips. He did it and pulled away quickly, blushing like mad.

"Sorry," he mumbled. Hermione nodded still looking a bit shocked.

"Now it's your turn Ron, pick someone," said Emma.

Ron looked at her evilly and said, "Emma truth or dare?"

'Hah! If he thinks he's going to get me to pick dare he's got another thing coming!' she thought as she prepared to dissapoint Ron.

"Truth!" she said triumpfantly.

Ron only grinned even more and said, "Who do you like?"

Emma was shocked and had to think for a minute, 'Woah, curve ball! I don't really like anyone though … well there is Harry …What about Draco?' Asked a voice in the back of Emma's mind. 'WOAH NO! I do NOT like Draco Malfoy!' Ron was looking impatient and Emma struggled to quickly come up with an answer.

'Oh, Hermione's gonna hate me for this but here goes nothing!' she thought.

"I don't really like anyone but I guess if I had to I'd choose … Harry …" she mumbled as they all looked at her like she was crazy. Emma looked over at Hermione and gave her a quick wink before returning to the game. Hermione got the message and looked back too.

"So … I guess it's my turn again then," Emma said. They continued with the game for another good hour before Ron's stomach started growling.

"What'dya say to some dinner?" Emma asked grinning as she heard Ron stomach.

They all agreed and headed down to dinner.

Wow this one is pretty long too! Yay me! Okay so I've decided that the next one is going to take place a week before Halloween so if there is like a date jump or anything that's why. Well this one is FOUR pages on Microsoft Word! Lol Emma's starting to drop some hints about Draco! Things are moving along nicely… I have to say I like this story. Oh and I noticed I haven't been getting a lot of reviews … you know the more reviews the more I update … in fact I've only gotten ONE review! Now I don't really like that…
