Emilia ran up the hill after Jess. They ran up the stairs and burst into the hospital wing, sliding half the way. Emilia ran over to Harry's bed and knelt down beside him.
"Oh, Harry." she said, caressing his hand.
"Please don't leave me." she continued, starting to cry. Jessica slipped out the door to let Emilia be alone. Emilia looked at Harry's limp body and then at his face.
"It can't be this easy for you to leave." she whispered, crying into her arm.
"Emilia." A voice said behind her, which caused her to jump. Emilia stood up and turned around, wiping the tears from her eyes. "Professor, I'm sorry, I'll go." Emilia mumbled.
"No." Dumbledore said.
"Come here." he motioned to her, sitting on one of the beds. Emilia walked over and sat beside him.
"Emilia, I want you to know that what Harry did was very great." he told her.
"He battled with Voldemort in the form of Professor Quirrel." he continued. Emilia began to cry and Dumbledore embraced her. Emilia let her head rest against him and let her tears fall.
"Emilia." he said, looking at her.
"Yes." she replied.
"You don't have to worry, you will never be alone." he said.
"What do you mean?" Emilia asked.
"I am your Grandfather Emilia, but in order to protect both you and Harry, no one could know." he said, smiling at her. Emilia now saw Dumbledore in a different way, a man who had so much love for both her and Harry but couldn't show it.
"Emmie." Harry's voice came from across the room. Emilia looked at Dumbledore and then went over and sat beside Harry.
"You are so amazing, Harry." Emilia told him.
"I let you down." Harry said.
"How?" Emilia asked.
"I couldn't bring back our parents." he said. Emilia looked at Harry and took his hand.
"Everything is fine, and Harry, we will never be alone again." With that Emilia stood up, nodded at Dumbledore and walked down to the Great Hall. As she walked down the steps, Emilia spotted a large group of students at the bottom. Emilia pushed her way through and came face to face with Draco.
"Well, well, Miss. I am so powerful Potter." he teased.
"You are so lame Draco." Emilia said back.
"O, I'm so hurt." Draco continued.
"Where are Mommy and Daddy now?" he jeered, making fake crying noises.
"Shut up!" Emilia yelled.
"Make me!" Draco answered.
"Silencio." Emilia whispered. Draco grabbed his throat and tried to yell, but no noise came from his mouth. All the students began to laugh and make fun of Draco.
"What is all this commotion?" Dumbledore asked, as he came to the bottom of the stairs followed by Harry. Malfoy began gesturing frantically towards Emilia. Dumbledore looked at her andthen at Draco. Dumbledore murmured something and cast his hand towards Malfoy.
"She cast a spell on me!" Draco screamed, finally being able to speak.
"No, need to scream Draco, we all have good ears." Dumbledore said.
"Everyone to the Great Hall except you." he said, pointing at Emilia. She rolled her eyes and stuffed her wand inside her sleeve. Dumbledore motioned Harry toward the Hall and walked over to Emilia
"Why do you have to get into trouble, you know perfectly well that you can't cast spells around such a large group of people." he said, looking at Emilia sternly.
"He deserved it." Emilia snapped, turning her back to him.
"What do you mean, explain?" Dumbledore said.
"He was teasing me and Harry." Emilia explained.
"I see." Dumbledore sighed, scratching his long beard.
"Turn around Emilia." he said. Emilia turned around and looked him in the face.
"Your mother was just like you, I only knew her for a short time before she left home. Just the same, you are different you've got your father's temper." he chuckled. Emilia smiled and hugged him.
"I'll try." she said. Dumbledore motioned toward the Great Hall and then left. She sat at the Gryffindor table between Harry and Jess and sat across from Hermione.
"We are down 250 points." Ron whispered, loudly. Emilia looked at the counters and nodded. The whole Hall was covered in green, the colour of Slytherin. Emilia felt happy for Angel, since she had been working hard on her charms and aced her exams.Angel waved to her from across the Hall as Dumbledore entered. The Hall went quiet and Dumbledore pulled a scroll out from beneath his robes. He passed it to Snape who read it and stormed out of the Hall by the side door. Emilia looked at Dumbledore; he had the twinkle of a child in his eyes. Emilia smiled and winked at him.
"Before we award the House Cup, I would just like to Congratulate the Gryffindor Quidditch team on their win." Dumbledore said. The Gryffindor table erupted into cheers and applause.
"Now!" Dumbledore continued, as the Hall went quiet again.
"There are a few last minute points to award. First, 50 points each to Hermione, Ron and Neville for the use of smarts, cunning, and courage, respectively. Second I award Harry Potter 80 points for saving this school and the world for a short time from evil." Dumbledore said. Applause echoed through out the Hall.
"We are only 20 points away from winning." Jess yelled.
"Finally, I wish to award, Emilia Potter with 30 points, for making this school a wonderful learning environment for all, no matter what house." Dumbledore said, smiling.
"We won." Harry said.
"I think, by my calculations that a change in décor is in order." Dumbledore said, clapping his hands. With a gust of wind, the green changed to red and the Hall filled to the brim with cheers, hoots, hollers and groans, from the Slytherins. That night, after the end of the year feast, Emilia climbed into bed and fell asleep.
"Life was perfect." she thought.
