Chapter 3
"Slytherindor" Emily whispered standing up. "That's not even a house."
"There must be an explanation" Professor Mcgonagall said as she took the hat off of Emily's head. "We'll try again."
"No Minerva" Dumbledor replied standing up. "The hat is never wrong."
"But professor Dumbledor..this child has no house to go to." Mcgonagall whispered.
"Sure I do." Emily said speaking up. "It's obvious that it's a mixture of Slytherin and Gryffindor. I just have to choose one I guess." Emily glanced out into the sea of black pointed hats to see Hermione looking much more relaxed.
Before Anyone could speak Emily felt a strong hand on her shoulder. She glanced up to see a tall male teacher with greasy hair and a pointed nose. He was covered in Black from head to toe. "Professor If I might add.I suggest she be put into my house. Slytherin does have less students than Gryffindor. It wouldn't be fair."
Hermione suddenly stood up in the crowd. Her hand in the air waving franticly. "Professor Snape that's not fair...what if Emily doesn't want to be in Slytherin. She does have the right to choose what house she will be in and I think she can choose what house she'll do best in"
"Miss Granger is right Professor Snape" Dumbledor said.
"Isn't Miss Granger always right." Snape muttered under his breath.
"Then what do I do" Emily questioned. "I have to have a house don't I."
Dumbledor thought for a moment. He then looked up at the crowd when he had an idea. "Miss Emily Rivers will alternate houses. One week in Slytherin, one week in Gryffindor and so on. There won't be any problems with passwords because they change every week anyway."
"So what house do I start out in." Emily questioned.
"Lets put you in Slytherin first." Dumbledor replied.
Emily smiled and nodded. She made her way over to the far right of the great hall to where the Slytherin table is. She took a seat across from Laura Quinn, one of the other exchanged students. She had a pug faced girl sit to her left. She seemed snobby. On her right sat a tall boy with golden blonde hair. Emily glanced back at Laura who was talking to a boy named Crabbe. She felt out of place until the boy to her right tapped her on the shoulder.
"Hi" he said with a grin. "What was your name again.."
"Emily Rivers. Pleased to meet you." Emily said politely. "What's your name."
"Malfoy..Draco Malfoy." He said with a sort of snobbish voice. "So do you have any back round..magically I mean.
"Well yes..I'm a .Pureblood." Emily said sort of confused. Not many people in her old school asked her if she was pureblood or not. "Why do you ask. "
"Oh I was just wondering." he said. "I'm a pureblood too practically all of us Slytherin's are. I just don't want a cute girl like you getting to be friends with the wrong type."
"And who exactly are the wrong type." Emily asked.
"Well.look over there at the Gryffindor table." Malfoy ordered.
"I'm looking" Emily said when she was looking at Harry Ron and Hermione talking happily with Holly Mora.
"You see Granger over there..the one with the bushy hair..she is an example of the wrong type..she is nothing but a filthy little Mudblood." Malfoy spat.
Emily's eyes went wide and she gasped. Before she knew what she was doing she raised her had and slapped Malfoy across the face. Everyone at the Slytherin table looked at her. Even the Ravenclaw's at the next table watched her intently. Hermione was looking at Emily with wide eyes.
"Don't you ever make fun of Hermione Granger..she is one of the nicest people I have met..unlike snobs like you." Emily yelled.
"You leave Draco alone" said a girly voice. It was the girl on Emily's left.
Emily looked at her with anger. "You must be that little brat Pansy Parkinson."
"I am not a brat..if you know what's good for you you'll leave Draco alone." Pansy spat and Emily spraying her with some spit.
"Well I'd like to see what Draco can do...his pureblood magic isn't going to save him. I come from America where the magic is more advanced. Malfoy doesn't stand a chance."
"You.you are a disgrace to the purebloods." Pansy said with utter Disgust. "May I have your attention" Dumbledor said, his voice rumbling through the entire hall. "I have an announcement..I have to announce the Head Girl and head boy for this year."
Excitement burst through all the Seventh year students.
"The head boy will be..." Dumbledor said slowly.
Emily watched the Gryffindor table cross their fingers and started to mouth Harry Potter. Harry Potter Harry Potter.
"Draco Malfoy" Dumbledor announced.
The Slytherin's applauded and burst into laughter and began pointing at Harry. "What's the matter Potter" Malfoy called across the room. "Are you mad that someone else beat you at something for a change."
"Mister Malfoy" Dumbledor yelled. "hold your tongue or I might change my mind."
Malfoy sat down slowly..."Fine" he said.
"And for the head girl." Dumbledor said.
Emily heard Hermione tell Harry Ron and Holly."I don't want to be head Girl anymore."
"Head girl is....Miss Emily Rivers."
Emily shot her head up. "Me" she whispered.
"You" Pansy said with Disgust.
"Emily you are probably wondering why I chose you as head girl when you are an Exchanged student and you don't even know your way around the school yet." Dumbledor questioned.
Emily along with practically everyone else in the hall nodded.
"I looked at your scores on you O.W.L.'s in your fifth year and you scored a perfect score. I am very proud of you. I believe you will make a good head girl and you will be able to set good examples for the other students."
Emily nodded. "it's an honor."
"Now I also have to announce the assistant Head boy and girl. This year I have decided that if the head boy or girl is sick or out for a day the assistant will fill in for them. The assistant boy will be Mr. Harry Potter and the Assistant head girl will be Miss Hermione Granger."
The Gryffindor table applauded.
"Now all I have left to say is .. eat up!" Dumbledor cried. Within seconds tons of food appeared on the table. Emily looked at it with astonishment.
"This is amazing" Laura Quinn called out. "I've never seen anything like this."
Emily helped herself to some of the chicken and pork. "This is delicious! I love it."
"Hogwarts is known for it's good food." Malfoy mumbled to her.
Emily was still mad at him but she was beginning to feel bad for what she did. He had a large had print on his cheek. She thought to herself for a moment. "Maybe I should apologize. He handed her the mashed potatoes and smiled at her.
"Thanks" she said.
The meal was great and Emily was exhausted. When everyone finished eating the began to leave the great hall and go to their Common Rooms. She watched Harry, Ron and Hermione leave all together. Emily got up and followed the Slytherin's out the door when Malfoy grabbed her hand.
"What" she questioned calmly.
"We get our own rooms." Malfoy replied.
No sooner had Malfoy said that Dumbledor strode over to them. "I shall escort you to you Dorms. He led them out to the entrance hall and waited until everyone was gone. Emily managed to get a word with Hermione before she went to bed.
"I really want to thank you for standing up for me." Hermione said.
"It was nothing. I couldn't stand Malfoy talking about you like that." Emily explained.
"What did he call me..a Mudblood." Hermione questioned.
"Yes.How dare he." Emily replied. "That's a really bad term to use."
"I know, but he calls me that all the time..I've gotten used to it." Hermione said.
"Well I'll make sure he doesn't give detentions to every person he sees." Emily said assuring.
"Thanks" Hermione said. "Well I better get going."
"Alright..see you tomorrow." Emily called as Hermione rushed to catch up with Ron and Harry.
When the entrance hall was completely empty, Dumbledor led them to a portrait off to the left of the stairwell. "Your Password is "Candy Cauldron."
Emily smiled. "I won't forget that."
Dumbledor leaned in her ear and whispered. "The Candy Cauldron is one of my favorite candy stores. Now off you go" he said to Emily and Malfoy and with that he turned on his heals and headed up the stairwell.
"Candy cauldron" Emily said.
The portrait opened. And Draco and Emily stepped inside. Inside there was a large room filled with comfy furniture and tables. There was also a nice warm fireplace off to the side of the room. Two doors were in front of them. One said boy's the other said girls. Emily was just about to go into her room when Malfoy grabbed her hand.
"I'm really sorry I insulted Granger..I didn't know she was a friend of yours." Malfoy said.
"Yeah..I'll believe it when I see it." Emily said pulling her hair out of her face. "For one thing.Call her Hermione not Granger...it's rude. Second I want you to be nice to everyone and not just your own house mates."
"If I'm nice to Granger I mean Hermione and her friends will you go out with me" Malfoy questioned.
"Hmmm." Emily questioned. "No..you have to be nice to everyone not just Hermione and her friends. Then I'll se what I can do."
Malfoy grinned. "I can do it..no problem...being nice to Granger..I mean Hermione and everyone else should be a piece of cake. You'll be dating me in no time."
"Yeah.Like I said before.I'll believe it when I see it." Emily said she was just about to go in her room when she stopped. "Oh and Malfoy..I'm sorry for slapping you."
"It's okay really." Malfoy assured her.
"You'll probably have that mark on your face for about a week." Emily said.
"I know.I think I deserved it." Malfoy said.
Emily turned on her heals and went into her room. It was beautiful. There was a four poster bed with canopy curtains in a pink color. She had a dresser and her own bathroom. All of her stuff was placed at the end of her bed in a neat pile. She quickly undressed in her pajamas and hopped into bed. With in minutes she was out like a light, expecting the unexpected..for anything could happen the next day.
