I'm very sad to say this, but I do not own Harry Potter. The only thing that I own is Emily Portwater.
Chapter 2
A Night of Talk
The first day of classes were over and already the fifth years were swamped with homework. They had essays on the goblin wars, properties of moonstone and their uses in potion making, a dream diary, and more if you were taking other classes. Every Gryffindor was huddled around tables doing their homework and zipping through many different books trying to find the answers.
At their favorite spot by the fire, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Emily were doing the same thing.
"So for Morgan Le Fay you would get…" Emily said to herself her fingers clenched around her hair.
"No, no Emily! You messed up your chart again!" Hermione said looking over her shoulder and fixing her chart.
Emily swore making Hermione shoot her a glare.
"Sorry Hermione."
"I thought you were as good as Hermione in every class?" Ron wondered.
Emily laughed and said, "No, no Ron. I do really well in Transfiguration because I took an advanced class in America. I'm awful at Arithmancy though."
"You're not bad! It just takes practice! You're wonderful at Potions and many other subjects," Hermione said reassuring her.
"Potions is only because of my dad. He lets me help him make them for the animals," Emily said shrugging and started on her moonstone essay.
"Hello you little fifth years!" two redheaded twins said coming over to the foursome.
"Hello Fred! Hello George!" Harry said enthusiastically.
"Have you guys had Umbridge yet?" Fred asked.
"Yup! And Harry's already got a detention with her," Ron answered.
"Really? That's faster then Fred and me!" George exclaimed clearly amazed.
Hermione just rolled her eyes at the boys in disgust and snatched a whistling Frisbee from a first year who glared at her and went into his dormitory.
"Oh come off it Hermione! Those things are fun!" Ron cried wide-eyed in astonishment.
"Ronald! You're a prefect!" Hermione scolded.
"Oh will you two just shut up?" Emily cried above the shouting and pushing the two apart. "I just finished my report for Snape even when you two were bickering like a married couple!"
Ron and Hermione both blushed a deep scarlet while both the Harry and the twins laughed.
"You're done with that already?" Ron asked still scarlet.
"Yup! I like that class more then Transfiguration and I'm a lot better at it then I am at Ancient Runes and Arithmancy," Emily said.
"What?" Harry, Ron, Fred, and George all cried out at the same time.
"It's fun. Potions can help you in everyday life and I really enjoy it," Emily said.
"Yeah, she enjoys it so much that she's taking extra potions!" Ginny Wesley added coming over to them.
"WHAT? You're insane! How can you take and extra Potions class?" Harry and Ron said in unison.
Hermione only sighed a big sigh and led Emily towards the girls' dormitory. And as soon as Emily was out of sight, Ron screamed, "Extra Potions? How?"
The other three boys only shock their heads in amazement.
