Chapter 4
Emily woke up bright and early the next morning. She quickly got up and got changed into a clean uniform. She then grabbed a robe and tossed it over her shoulders and buttoned it. She walked over to the pile of things at the end of her bed and grabbed her school books. She placed them in her bag and left her room. Outside Draco Malfoy was waiting for her.
"Up already are you" Emily said.
"Sure..I'm going for excellent grades this year." Draco replied. "I want to get a good start in the morning."
"Are you doing it just to impress me" Emily questioned. " because if you are, you're doing a really bad job at it."
Draco Smiled. "Okay, Okay you win...I wanted to impress you."
"You didn't seem like the early bird type." Emily said adjusting her book bag.
Draco walked over to her and placed his arms around her waist. "Shall I escort you to the Great Hall."
"Ahem..I didn't give you permission to do that." Emily said "You haven't proved to me that you can be nice to others."
"Oh...right" Draco said as he snapped back to reality. "I'm sorry." And with that he took his arms off of her and stepped back.
The two of them walked together to the Great Hall. When they reached their table they took a seat next to Pansy and Laura.
"Listen Emily Rivers.." Pansy hissed in Emily's ear. "Draco is my Boyfriend..I want you to leave him alone..I don't even see how he likes you so much...You look like that Mudblood Granger."
"Don't you ever say anything like that about Hermione..." Emily said through her clenched teeth. "I don't like snotty mouthed people like you."
"And I don't like goody two shoes like you" Pansy snapped. "Its unfair enough that you got to be Head Girl.."
"Well it just proves that I'm better than you" Emily countered.
Emily and Pansy fought all through breakfast. It was beginning to become clear to her now why Hermione, Ron and Harry all warned her about Slytherin. The kids in it were just stuck up snobs. She glanced at Hermione at the Gryffindor table. She was looking intently at her schedule. That's when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She whirled around to see Professor Snape standing behind her. He handed her, her schedule and said "see you in potions this morning."
Emily looked at her schedule. She had Double potions with the Gryffindor's first period. She then had Charms with the Ravenclaw's and then her lunch. After lunch she had Transfiguration with the Gryffindor's again and then she had Divination with a mixture of Gryffindor's and Hufflepuff's. Today was going to be very exciting indeed.
She quickly finished her breakfast and waited for Malfoy to finish his. After much argument the two had Emily allowed Malfoy to hold her hand while walking down to the potions room in the dungeons. When they got there Professor Snape strode into the room and stood in front of all of them.
"Don't get comfy in your seats yet" he said in his monotone voice. "I'm having you work in Pairs of four for your assignment. Lets see..at table one we'll have" Snape took a moment to think.
"Crabbe, Goyle, Patail, and Weasly."
"Table two. Longbottom, Brown, Finch and Netterson."
"Table three.Bulstrode, Mora, Quinn, and Parkinson."
"Table four..Malfoy, Potter, Granger, and Rivers."
Snape then took out his wand and flicked it at the chalk board. Instructions on how to make a Scintillating Solution. Hermione quickly got up and gathered the supplies. She then returned and began to write down the potion Procedures. Emily admired her sense of organization.
"Hope you don't Mess it up Potter" Malfoy spat..
"Ahem" Emily motioned who was sitting next to Draco. She then eyed him suspiciously.
"Of course you won't Mess up er.Harry. We have Hermione here to help us. I'm sure she'll answer all of our questions.she's good at potions."
Hermione raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Yeah." she began a little confused. "We are supposed to let the water come to a boil first" she said pulling out her wand. "Cantatum Infamarie." Flames spit out of the tip of her wand and landed in the pit where the fire was supposed to be placed under the cauldron. They sat in silence until the water boiled.
When it came to a boil Hermione ordered Emily and Draco to start cutting up some mandrake roots. Harry was to tear up knot grass and she would carefully add the dragon's blood. She added two drops of blood and the water automatically turned a deep green color.
"Add the knot grass Harry" Hermione said as soon as her timer buzzed.
Harry added the knot grass and the potion turned deep navy blue. "Is it the right color Hermione." Harry asked hoping he was right.
Hermione glanced in her Potions textbook and nodded. "Yup...it looks good so far. Emily when my timer goes off you and Draco want to add those roots. Harry go get some fluxweed and shrivelfig from the cabinet."
"What ever you say Hermione." Harry said getting up
Hermione turned back to the book and turned the page and began reading it. Emily glanced at Ron's table. They weren't doing so good. Crabbe and Goyle had added too much dragons blood and too little knot grass. Now their potion was a deep orange color and was letting off an exhausting stink from the cauldron. Table two wasn't doing so well either. Neville Longbottom had accidentally dropped the mandrake roots in too early and an explosion caused setting their table to flames. Table three hadn't even gotten started. Millicent Bulstrode, Laura Quinn and Pansy Parkinson were all ganging up on Holly Mora and were yelling at her for being such a know it all.
"Here are the supplies guys" Harry said returning from his trip to the cabinet.
The buzzer went off and Draco and Emily added their roots. The potion then turned a light pinkish color. "Good" Hermione said "Now we have to stir twenty times clockwise and ten counterclockwise."
Draco picked up the stirrer and placed it in the cauldron. He began to stir twenty times counter clockwise then ten times clockwise. Harry was surprised that Draco didn't try and mess it up on purpose.
"Okay now take the shrivelfig and put a quarter of a pound in it." Hermione instructed.
Emily grabbed the brass scales on the table and measured out a quarter of a pound and she carefully placed it in the cauldron. The potion turned purple violet.
"And last add the Fluxweed." Hermione inquired. Draco picked up the jar of fluxweed and added it to the potion. It turned a teal color.
"That's great" Hermione said excitedly. "We did it.It looks perfect."
"What's all the ruckus over here" Professor Snape said in his quiet whisper of a voice.
"Oh..We're finished professor" Hermione said slowly.
"Aren't you always miss granger." Snape added. "give me your potion to test and I'll get your grade back before the end of class."
Emily grabbed a spoon and placed some in the test tube. "I'll give it to Snape." She grabbed it and ran it up to his desk and observed it carefully.
"You may go sit down Miss Rivers." Snape said coolly.
Emily went and joined her other companions at the table. She found Draco shaking hands with Harry and Hermione. Both Harry and Hermione looked very confused. Emily looked to Draco and gave him a thumbs up sign. He smiled.
"Miss Rivers you may get your grade back" Snape called.
Emily went up to Snape's desk and received her grade. It was a 98%. He gave her the paper and that's when their eyes met for the first time. Emily saw by looking at his eyes that he wasn't a very kind person. His eyes were so dark , cold and lifeless.
"Miss Rivers.." He said uncertainly. "You look very familiar."
"Familiar?" Emily questioned. "I can assure you that I've never met you before..remember I come from America."
Snape didn't say anything. He was silent. Emily felt uneasy and quickly thanked him for the grade and returned to her seat where Draco, Harry and Hermione were looking at her intently.
"Well" Hermione said urgently
"Yeah what did we get" Harry asked.
"Do you really want to know" Emily teased.
"Just tell us already" Draco burst out.
"We got a 98%" Emily said Excitedly.
"Wow! That's the best grade I've ever gotten from Snape" Harry said slowly
"Same here" Draco replied.
"But you're in his house." Hermione said.
"I know..but the highest grade I've ever gotten from Snape was a 75%" Malfoy explained.
Just then a crash was herd from behind them. Laura Quinn, Millicent Bulstrode, and Pansy Parkinson had ganged up on Holly Mora..Laura had pushed Holly into the cabinet. Potion Ingredients were knocked over the floor. It caused a big mess. Snape strode over to Holly.
"Miss Mora..clean up this mess...You have Detention tonight.7:00 don't be late."
"Oh Man.." Hermione whispered. "Detention on the first day.that's harsh."
"It's not my fault" Holly said. "Laura pushed me."
"I don't want to hear your excuses." Snape said coolly.
The bell rang signaling the students to their next class. Emily watched Hermione go over to Holly and Help her to her feet. She then felt Draco grab her hand.
"Come on" he said. "we have Charms next..It's on the second floor."
They made their way up the staircases to the second floor to Professor Flitwick's class. When they were all seated in their seats he began.
"Welcome to Charms Seventh year's" Flitwick said cheerfully. "Lets begin with a review. Please work on your Cheering, Silencing and levitation charms"
"Emily pulled out her wand and flicked it at a feather sitting on her desk in front of her. "Wingardium Leviosa" she muttered. The feather floated feet above her head. It was the highest out of all the kids. Draco managed to get his to hover for a couple of seconds before it fell to the table. Pansy couldn't remember the spell used to make objects levitate. Wilmer was just smacking his wand on his desk in anger because he couldn't get the feather to move.
"Very well done Miss Rivers." Flitwick said happily. "That was the best performance since Hermione Granger did it in her first year."
"Thank you Professor." Emily said smiling.
"Show off" Pansy hissed from behind her.
Emily just ignored her and turned to her next assignment. She aimed her wand at a frog and muttered "Silencio" it shut up immediately. Finally she went to her last assignment she pointed her wand at Pansy. "Cheerio" Almost immediately Pansy's frown was gone and she was smiling happily.
"How do you do that Chico" Wilmer asked her in his sort of Spanish tone of voice.
"You mean Chica" Emily said Correcting him.
"What" Wilmer asked.
"Chica.Means Girl in Spanish." Emily explained. "I took extra Muggle studies in America."
"Oh.." Wilmer said then he turned back to his Feather.
Suddenly the bell rang and Everyone reported to the great hall for lunch. Soup and sandwiches were being served. Emily helped herself to a turkey sandwich. Draco Joined her along with Pansy on her other side. Laura sat across from her with Crabbe and Goyle on either side of her.
"That was really great in Charms class." Malfoy said between chews of his Ham sandwich.
"She is a show off" Pansy said angrily. "she is just like Granger."
"Pansy shut up" Draco snapped. "So what if she does everything better you."
"She does not do everything better than me" Pansy replied.
"Want to bet" Emily said with some attitude.
"Your on Rivers." Pansy spat.
"Okay.lets see who can stay the quiet the longest. Ready set go." Emily said.
The two of them just stared at each other. Emily smiled. Pansy sat there repeating over and over in her head."I'm going to win I'm going to win. I'm going to win." Suddenly a voice interrupted her thoughts. It said "No your not."
Pansy screamed. "What did you do."
"I don't know.what did I do." Emily asked innocently.
"You..I heard your voice..in my head. You said I wouldn't win."
"I have no clue what your talking about" Emily said. "I didn't do anything
"yes you did" Pansy screamed. "I'm telling the Head Master."
And with that she ran out of the room.
The bell scheduled Their next class.
She made her way up the stairs to the transfiguration room where professor Mcgonagall was waiting. She like always had her hair up in a tight bun. She took role and started immediately.
"Now I do hope you all know your animangus forms. So when I call your name tell me your animangus form."
"Weasly"
"Rat" Ron said slowly.
"Potter"
"Stag" Harry answered after thinking for a moment.
"Bulstrode"
"A bull" Millicent replied.
"Malfoy"
"A ferret." Draco answered.
"Mora"
"I'm an Owl" she said timidly.
"Granger"
"Cat Professor" Hermione replied instantly.
"Parkinson.....Parkinson." Mcgonagall asked getting impatient.
"Oh she's went to the Headmaster." Millicent said slowly.
"Very well..Rivers"
"Do I have to say..." Emily questioned.
"Yes you do because today you will be transformed into your type of animangus." Professor Mcgonagall replied.
"Oh okay..I'm a Unicorn." Emily said slowly.
"Unicorn" Mcgonagall asked.
"yup...unicorn." Emily answered.
"It's been years since we've seen a unicorn animangus. Anyway..lets get started. You tap your head with your wand and say Animingo Transformio. Emily why don't you give it a try."
"Animingo Transformio" Emily said. A purple mist surrounded her and before she knew it she was looking down at hoofs instead of feet.
"Excellent. Now all you have to do is think you want to be human again and you may transform back." Mcgonagall instructed.
Emily closed her eyes and thought about being a human. Within seconds she slowly regained her body.
"Wonderful.How about Potter, Granger and Malfoy try."
They spent the whole class turning themselves into their animangus forms. The only problem was that. Ron couldn't get rid of his rat tail. Holly couldn't exactly get rid of her feathers and Millicent still had horns. Hermione had some trouble turning back into a human but she finally managed to get rid of her cat tail and whiskers.
When the bell rang they all headed for their last class of the day. Emily followed Draco, Harry and Ron to North tower. Once there she was greeted by a room full of thick incense and perfume. She took a seat with Harry and Ron at a table.
"Now class" Professor Trelawny said from the shadows of the room. "Settle down. I see we have one of the exchanged students here. I will come around and examine her while the rest of you do Dream Recall , Palmistry or tealeaf reading."
The class groaned. The only excited ones were Lavender brown and Parvati Patail.
Professor Trelawny took a seat next to Emily. Emily was sort of nervous. Divination wasn't exactly her favorite or best subject.
"Now dear can you tell me what a flag means when you do tealeaf reading" she questioned.
Emily hesitated. "umm Freedom" she guessed.
"No.try an arrow." Trelawny said.
"Umm.straight to the point." Emily said slowly knowing it was the wrong answer.
"How about a light."
Emily thought for a moment. "uhh Your only bright when you get turned on." She said with a giggle.
Professor Trelawny frowned. "No..let me examine you." She grabbed Emily's hand.
"I see something." She began. "You have something big to do right now. You have a destiny..Your magic is extraordinary. You have both Dark and Light magic."
Emily smiled but Harry and Ron could tell it was fake.
"I'll come back to you later dear." Trelawny said slowly.
Emily was glad when the bell rang. She caught up with Harry and Ron. "I can understand why Hermione quit that class. Trelawny seems like such a fake.
"We think so too but no one else seems to believe us" Harry said. "Well anyway see you at Dinner."
"See you later." She left them as they went to their own Common rooms.
She made her way to her own Common room and flopped down on the couch. Draco came in soon after. He too looked exhausted. With no hesitation they each got out what they needed for homework and quickly did what needed to be done.
Dinner came quicker than anyone expected. Tonight they were having an all American dinner. Cheeseburgers and Pizza. Most of the students were satisfied with it.
Right after dinner. Emily made sure she had everything done and went in her room. She was tired and she needed her rest. She went to sleep that night not waking up once. It was one of the best nights she ever got sleep before. As much as she liked Hogwarts, the fact was.they were hard.and that bothered her. She slept still and calm not knowing what was in store for her in the future.
Hi everyone it's me again. I want to know what you thought of this chapter. I do know it is long. It's longer than the other chapters. I hope you enjoyed it. Please Review. I am dying to know what you guys think.
Emily woke up bright and early the next morning. She quickly got up and got changed into a clean uniform. She then grabbed a robe and tossed it over her shoulders and buttoned it. She walked over to the pile of things at the end of her bed and grabbed her school books. She placed them in her bag and left her room. Outside Draco Malfoy was waiting for her.
"Up already are you" Emily said.
"Sure..I'm going for excellent grades this year." Draco replied. "I want to get a good start in the morning."
"Are you doing it just to impress me" Emily questioned. " because if you are, you're doing a really bad job at it."
Draco Smiled. "Okay, Okay you win...I wanted to impress you."
"You didn't seem like the early bird type." Emily said adjusting her book bag.
Draco walked over to her and placed his arms around her waist. "Shall I escort you to the Great Hall."
"Ahem..I didn't give you permission to do that." Emily said "You haven't proved to me that you can be nice to others."
"Oh...right" Draco said as he snapped back to reality. "I'm sorry." And with that he took his arms off of her and stepped back.
The two of them walked together to the Great Hall. When they reached their table they took a seat next to Pansy and Laura.
"Listen Emily Rivers.." Pansy hissed in Emily's ear. "Draco is my Boyfriend..I want you to leave him alone..I don't even see how he likes you so much...You look like that Mudblood Granger."
"Don't you ever say anything like that about Hermione..." Emily said through her clenched teeth. "I don't like snotty mouthed people like you."
"And I don't like goody two shoes like you" Pansy snapped. "Its unfair enough that you got to be Head Girl.."
"Well it just proves that I'm better than you" Emily countered.

Snape then took out his wand and flicked it at the chalk board. Instructions on how to make a Scintillating Solution. Hermione quickly got up and gathered the supplies. She then returned and began to write down the potion Procedures. Emily admired her sense of organization.

She made her way to her own Common room and flopped down on the couch. Draco came in soon after. He too looked exhausted. With no hesitation they each got out what they needed for homework and quickly did what needed to be done.
Dinner came quicker than anyone expected. Tonight they were having an all American dinner. Cheeseburgers and Pizza. Most of the students were satisfied with it.
Right after dinner. Emily made sure she had everything done and went in her room. She was tired and she needed her rest. She went to sleep that night not waking up once. It was one of the best nights she ever got sleep before. As much as she liked Hogwarts, the fact was.they were hard.and that bothered her. She slept still and calm not knowing what was in store for her in the future.
