Chapter 5
A week had past since the beginning of school. Emily was jumping for joy when she found out that she could switch to Gryffindor instead of Slytherin. For one she'd get Pansy Parkinson out of her hair for a week and she'd be able to spend more time with Harry, Ron and most of all Hermione.
Monday morning began very dully. Everyone was so relaxed over the weekend they didn't want to get up. Emily herself was wondering if she should go to Madam Pomfrey because she wasn't feeling so good. She woke up with a stomach ache and a bad headache. Ignoring both pains she got dressed in a clean uniform and reported to the Gryffindor table. The gray cloudy sky above was also casting some of the sleepiness of the students. It looked as if it would rain any minute.
She took a seat next to Hermione. Harry and Ron on her other side. She then felt Someone tap her on the back. Professor Mcgonagall stood there and handed her, her Gryffindor schedule for the week. "Oh and Miss Rivers...today during History of Magic class, The headmaster wants to see you."
Emily nodded and turned around and focused on eating her breakfast and reading her schedule for the week. First period she had Herbology then Care of Magical Creatures. After that she had History of Magic followed by her lunch. Then she had Arithmancy with Hermione and finally she had Defense against the dark arts. These were all new classes to her except history of magic. She had that class three times last week.
Emily glanced at Hermione's massive schedule in surprise. "Why on earth do you have such a big schedule."
"Oh You know me..I take a lot of extra classes." Hermione said brightly.
"Hermione you have Herbology, Transfiguration and Ancient Runes all in first period. " Emily said slowly.
"It all works out..trust me." Hermione said. "Uh Guys listen I forgot a couple of my books in our common room. I don't think I'll have enough time to come back down so. see you in Herbology. And with that she turned on her heal and left.
"I'll be back" Emily said getting up.
"Where are you going" Harry asked. "You just got here."
"I know but I think I forgotten something." She to turned and left.
She came out of the Great Hall. Hermione was no where to be seen. She ran up the marble staircase and turned a corner when she smacked into someone.
"Watch where your going Rivers" said a very snobby girly voice. Emily looked at them. It was Pansy Parkinson and Millicent Bulstrode. Emily got up and walked around them. That's when she heard Pansy yell at someone else.
"Hey first year give me that piece of Toast." Pansy shrieked.
The boy didn't give it to her which her even madder. "We said give it or else you'll be sorry you ever crossed us." Millicent snapped.
Emily turned around and walked between the boy and the nasty Slytherin girls. "What now Rivers." Pansy asked impatiently.
"Leave him alone. Or else you'll be sorry you ever crossed me." Emily said to the both of them.
"Oh I'm so scared" Pansy said pretending to be scared.
"Yeah I'm shaking in terror." Millicent snickered trying to keep in her laugh.
"What can you do Rivers that will ever make us regret it." Pansy asked in her snobbish voice.
Emily was silent for a minute. She didn't know what to do.
"No comebacks huh" Millicent teased.
Just then something clicked into her head. She pulled out two slips of paper and began scribbling on them. She then handed one to Millicent and one to Pansy.
"That's your great comeback" Pansy and Millicent said in laughter. "What are you going to do give us paper cuts. What is it" Pansy asked.
"It's a detention form...you will be serving three hours tonight with Professor Mcgonagall for assault on an innocent first year" Emily explained.
"You can't give out detentions" Pansy snapped.
"Oh yes I can..I'm head girl remember." Emily said with a satisfied smile.
"Bu- but that's not fair...Three hours...how am I going to get my homework done" Pansy asked in anger.
"Beats me but you should have thought about what you have done first." Emily said. She turned on her heal and left. Emily was really determined to find where Hermione went. She assumed Hermione was in the common room so she took the stairs up to the seventh floor to where the picture of the fat lady was.
"Password" she said simply.
"Shrivelwig" Emily said and with that the portrait swung open. She stepped into the Gryffindor common room. It was beautiful with its red and gold color. She followed her way up into the Girls dormitory's. She pushed open the seventh year girls dorm. Inside Hermione was franticly searching for something.
"Oh where is it" she questioned. She pulled open her trunk and started to dig in it. She grasped something golden around a golden chain and sighed. "Thank god I found it." She Placed it around her neck, and tucked it in her shirt. and turned and almost screamed. "Oh God..Emily what are you doing here."
"I was looking for you I figured something was wrong so as head girl I followed you to see what you were up to" Emily explained
"You didn't see anything did you" Hermione asked worried.
"Oh...no...Why" Emily questioned.
"Its nothing." Hermione said nervously . "Look at the time...it's only a couple of minutes till Herbology class. We better get going."
Hermione planned to take the slow way down to the gardens but Emily led her a different direction. They went down the stairs and into the entrance hall and out the door.
Hermione stepped in front of Emily in surprise. "Its only your first week in school and you know this school like the back of your hand."
"Oh..you know me..I studied the maps. Getting lost is embarrassing." Emily explained.
"I know what you mean" Hermione said instantly. "My first day of school was nerve wreaking. But it was weird.some how I knew where I was going.."
"I've gotten that feeling before." Emily said as they pushed open the large wooden doors leading outside to the greenhouses.
As they walked Pansy and Millicent stared at them with their evil green eyes. "You'll pay for that one Rivers." Pansy spat as if Emily's last name left a bad taste in her mouth.
They both ignored Pansy and continued towards the greenhouses. "What did you do" Hermione asked as soon as they were far from Pansy and Millicent. "They seemed really Mad at you."
"Oh..I gave them a detention for being abusive to an innocent first year." Emily explained.
Hermione smiled and giggled. "Pansy has a detention...I could sing. How long is it."
"I sentenced them each to three hours with Professor Mcgonagall tonight." Emily said.
"Oh you are so rotten" Hermione managed to say before she burst out laughing.
Millicent and Pansy stood there behind them with looks of intense anger on their faces. Millicent whose face was red as an apple was beginning to shake. Pansy who was breathing very deeply began grinding her perfectly white teeth. "Don't worry Millicent. We'll get her.We'll get her good. I have an idea but we'll wait until later.when the time is perfect.
Hermione and Emily arrived in front of the greenhouses five minutes early. Harry and Ron showed up right after they did. Neville and Shamus were right behind them.
"Who've we got to be stuck with this class" Neville asked.
"Slytherin" Hermione said with dislike.
"Oh great...all I need is a class with Malfoy...He'll make fun of me for sure even though I love Herbology." Neville said with disappointment.
"Oh Neville...He won't be mean...He's actually very sweet if you get to know him." Emily said with a smile... she could even feel her cheeks go pink.
Hermione, Harry, Ron, Shamus, and Neville all looked at her with wide eyes as if they couldn't believe what she just said. "Malfoy...sweet. You have to be kidding" Ron spat. "This is a joke. Isn't it".
Emily felt herself go even redder. "No" she whispered.
All of them exchanged worried looks. Harry was just about to tell Emily how Dangerous Malfoy was when Professor Sprout came out. "All right Children..Greenhouse 8 today."
The class groaned and picked up their things and headed in. Emily sat next to Hermione, Harry and Ron. Malfoy sat across from her with Millicent on one side of him and Pansy on the other. Neither Pansy or Millicent looked once at Emily.
All throughout Herbology they learned how to raise a Venomous Tentacula. It interested Hermione and Emily the most. The two of them took notes all through class. Harry and Ron were both dozing off. Malfoy was being annoyed By Millicent and Pansy. Everyone was relieved to hear that class was over. When Emily stepped outside she felt someone grab her hand.
Draco Malfoy smiled his perfect smile at her. "How are we today."
"Fine thank you" Emily replied.
"Can I talk to you" Draco asked. "It's important."
"Sure" Emily said with concern. Draco grabbed her hand and pulled her to the side of the greenhouse.
"I really, really like you." he began with a shaky voice. "I want to show you my appreciation to you with this" and with that he kissed Emily on the cheek. She looked at him dumbfounded. She then smiled.
"So you did like it" Malfoy said.
Emily slammed back into reality. "Hey...you little sneak...I didn't give you permission to do that."
"Too late.." Draco teased. "I got you."
Emily smiled and Playfully punched him in the arm. "You are so bad."
"Please can I date you...I've been nice to Granger, Potter, Weasly, and all of those other goodie goodie Gryffindor's for a whole week."
"Well...for saying that You get another week on...Plus for that sneak kiss you owe me two weeks." Emily replied smartly.
"What...that's not fair" Draco complained.
"To late.." Emily teased. "I got you." And with that she turned the corner and almost screamed. "Oh my god!!! Hermione.were you listening." Emily questioned.
"To the whole bit..." she said. "So that's what's going on. That's why Draco has been so nice to us all of a sudden."
"Well I wanted to give you a break." Emily said.
"By losing your freedom..and dating him" Hermione questioned with some anger in her voice.
"It's like I said..Draco is really sweet if you get to know him." Emily explained.
"Your crazy..You could get your heart broken by him." Hermione warned. "I don't want to see that happen to you..You're my best friend."
"Don't worry Hermione" Emily assured. "Draco is serious this time. Now lets get headed down to Hagrid's hut for Care of Magical Creatures.
When they got there they found that they had it with the Ravenclaw's. It was different for a change. Gryffindor's usually always had it with Slytherin. When Class was about to begin Hagrid came out of his hut, his dog Fang by his side.
"Welcome to Care of Magical Creatures Seventh years. I do believe that this is the first time I've had you all this year." Hagrid growled. "Will you all follow me please." The class followed Hagrid to the back of his hut. "Now will all the witches please step forward. I want to see if anyone can approach this here unicorn. How bout you Hermione."
Hermione stepped forward and headed toward the unicorn. It backed away immediately. Hermione stepped back and shrugged.
"Lavender..You give it a try." Hagrid roared. Lavender.who was practically the biggest fan of unicorns stepped forward at almost a run. The unicorn galloped back.
"Okay.Parvati" Hagrid asked. Parvati was another fan of unicorn's and she rushed up to try and greet it but it to cowered away.
"Alright one more person..Miss Rivers. You try." Emily stepped forward. She kept her eyes transfixed on the unicorn. It didn't move. She continued to move slowly looking as if she was concentrating on something. Then all of a sudden she snapped out of her concentration and walked faster toward the unicorn. She then stood next to it and pet it.
"Great job" 20 points to Gryffindor." Hagrid Roared. For the rest of the class he taught the boys how to do something while the girls were left talking amongst them selves. When class was over Emily said goodbye to Hermione, Harry and Ron. She had to go to Dumbledor's office. She went to the second floor and came to a statue of a griffon.
"Treacle Tart" she said. Beings she was a head girl she knew the passwords to all he common rooms and the Headmasters office. She watched as a pair of stairs became visible. She then took them up to the headmasters office
"What could the headmaster want with me" she thought. Then the image of last week at lunch when Pansy left the great hall screaming that she was going to tell the headmaster on her. "Oh no" she whispered. "I'm in trouble now."
She came to the door and knocked three times. It opened automatically.
"Come in Dear" Dumbledor said kindly.
Emily took in a deep breath and gathered her things and headed inside and expected the worst.
