The light appeared out of the darkness.
Emma jolted up wide awake, with a bright light glimmering over her. However, with her light powers, she turned it off. Emma's been having the same vision for a week now. The vision showed two boys and two girls going through some sort of tunnel with different tasks. She couldn't remember what it was, that part was always blurry. The strange thing was there was a blonde girl, that looked eerie like her. Before the vision finished, Emma saw a glimpse, of a man with a turban on his head, but the thing about it was that when he took it off, he had like a face on the back of his head, that was very hideous and deformed as well.
She heard a knock by the door, and her blue-green eyes turned to see Justin, her older brother pecking out the door to Emma's room.
"Good morning Em, have you still decided on what to choose yet?" He asked.
"I still haven't decided yet, I really want to go to Hogwarts like you and dad, but mum went to Beauxbatons, and aunt Marie went to Ilvermorny. What do you think I should go?" Emma asked unease.
"I'd say Hogwarts, that way you're not alone and become friends with some of my friends. Besides, I think you will do well in Slytherin like me, your cunning, resourceful, and very intelligent like a Slytherin." He pointed out.
This made Emma smile a bit since he does have a point, about going to Hogwarts. Besides, what can go wrong when going to Hogwarts, it's not like something dangerous was going to happen, right? She shook the thought off, and replied, "I will tell you at breakfast, so mum and dad can also hear, alright?"
"Alright. Don't too long, I'm famished." He remarked. And took off downstairs, to the dining room.
Emma lazily decided it was time to get ready for the day, knowing that she has made the right decision of choosing Hogwarts, knowing nothing can go wrong. Emma decided to wear a white blouse with a blue skirt, and topped it off with her locket necklace that her mother gave her on her 11th birthday.
She walked along through the long halls and made a turn to the stairs. As she was heading downstairs, seeing her family at the dinner table talking to each other, waiting for her. Here's something about Emma; she from a pureblood family, her family is the richest and the first magical family, descendants for Salazar Slytherin himself. So, the dinner table was long and elegant yet close enough for them to talk to each other.
Anyway, she headed towards her seat, where breakfast awaits for her. Emma really wanted to just eat, but she remembered that she promised to tell them about her decision.
"Mum, dad I'm going tell you about my decision of which school I'm going," Emma announced loudly, making her parents and brother facing her.
"I have decided that I want to go to Hogwarts with Justin. Are you guys upset?" Emma asked unease.
Her mother, Emily answered with a smile, "Not at all Em, I am rather proud of you to go to Hogwarts, just like your father and brother. I know that they have found a talented witch there."
Emma ran up to her family and hugged them also knowing her hair turned Violet from joy for a few moments then back to blonde. Emma was happy with her decision of going to Hogwarts. The family eats their breakfast in silence until they were all done.
"Well, now that I'm going to Hogwarts, I'm going to need my books and equipment. Is it alright, that I can go with Justin to Diagon Alley for my supplies, and might as well some money from the vault, too? Emma chirped happily.
"Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt for you to go with your brother, you can go, and Justin," her father, William said to her brother directly. "Take care of your sister, we don't know what might happen, and here's the key to the vault alright."
"Alright, father," Justin uttered under his breath.
The brother and sister used their animagus abilities, the brother being a falcon and the sister being a hawk to go to Diagon Alley. Once they arrived in front of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, and at the entrance with the large doors, the engraved words say,
Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
They walked through, seeing many goblins at work either counting galleons, writing, and many other things. They stop in front of a large dark desk, where seated was a goblin counting knuts in a pile. Justin intentionally cleared his throat to grab the goblin's attention, in which it did. The goblin looked up and stared at the brother and sister with an annoyed stare.
"Miss Moore and I wish to withdrawal from our vaults," Justin stated calmly.
"Ah, and do Mr. Moore or Miss Moore have their key?" Justin handed the key to the goblin. As the goblin pointed out, "Very well, walk this way."
They didn't notice however that the Boy Who Lived was also there with Hagrid the Keeper of Hogwarts to withdraw money as well.
The brother and sister walked to a mine cart where there were seats in which they sat on.
"Which vaults are we headed to?" The goblin asked them with a high pitched voice.
"To the Moore Vault," Emma responded quickly. The goblin nodded and started to head down deeper.
What seemed like forever, they finally arrived at their vault number 715. The goblins unlock the large door where they could see piles and piles of Bronze Knuts, Silver Sickles, and Golden Galleons in the family vault. Emma brought her pouch with an undetectable extension charm, that makes her pouch with unlimited space. She got a handful of each pile, as well as Justin and they thanked the goblin. Once outside of the bank they looked over the list of what Emma need this year.
"Okay let's first get my wand, and let's make it quick," Emma stated and he nodded as they walked over to Ollivanders Wand Shop. On the way there, Emma glanced at all the windows for the shops. She saw children huddled around the broom store. All she could hear was, "Nimbus 2000!" Which made her thrilled, since Emma has loved playing Quidditch with her brother, over the summer.
"I wish I can play Quidditch with you, me as the Chaser or Seeker, and you as a Keeper." She told him.
"Well, you can't play this year, but maybe next year, and since you're good at it, maybe we might win for sure." He responded. All she did was nod at him. They soon arrived in front of the Wand Shop, as Emma suggested, "Why don't I go inside and once I'm done meet me near the Broom shop, ok?"
Justin nodded as he hugged Emma and started to explore somewhere else for a bit.
Emma stared at the store before walking in. Emma saw a gray-haired old man waiting, like if he was waiting patiently for her.
Ollivander peered down at her and said nothing, but his eyes did widen. He rushed into the back of the shop and came back holding three wand boxes in his hands. Ollivander opened the first wand box, took out the wand and gave it to me."Here we are. Hawthorn wood, 13" inches, dragon heartstring core. Well, go on, give a swish Ms. Moore." He urged her.
She hesitantly gave the wand a gentle swish, and suddenly a vase holding roses exploded. She immediately placed the wand back on the counter.
Ollivander put the wand back into the box and unwrapped the second wand box. He gingerly took out the next one."I think this one ought to work, Veela Hair, 11 3/4" inches, phoenix feather core, reasonable flexibility. Give it flick." Emma took the wand from his hand before giving it a flick. This time, a gust of wind gently blew her soft blonde hair.
"Yes, yes, seems this is the wand for you. Beautiful really, but quite peculiar as well" he said.
"Sorry, what's peculiar about it?" she asked curiously, making her hair orange.
"It's just that, most wands that are sold, have something in common. It's quite rare to have Veela hair here, and that's the only one in this shop. In your case, yours happens to be Veela hair, like yourself, and those types of wands are usually a little temperamental or unpredictable. Ms. Moore." he implied.
"Well.. uh, Thank you, sir." Emma replied, making her hair turn to normal, "How much?"
"7 galleons please" She handed him the galleons and left the shop.
She walked along the shops and saw a crowd gathering around something or someone. Emma just shrugged and kept on walking. As she was walking she bumped to a tall man with a turban on his head. She quickly responded with a small "sorry" without turning back. She soon was in front of the broom shop and was waiting there for her brother.
Justin just got out of the Three Broomsticks with two butterbeers in his hands. He was walking by and noticed Hagrid with a young boy like Emma's age. He then noticed that it was in fact, the 'Boy Who Lived' in person. He was surprised to see the young boy, although he did imagine him differently.
Justin kept on walking where he saw his young sister waiting patiently for him. He smiled as he walked over her, he approached her and handed her the drink. Emma was staring at it wondering what it was.
"Uh, what is this drink, Justin?" Emma asked curiously.
"It's butterbeer, try it. It's quite delicious." Justin said as he started to drink his.
Emma looked back at the drink in hand, before taking a sip. She instantly loved how creamy the drink is. She quickly started drinking more until she finished every drop. She smiled and replied excitedly, "You're right! I love this! I want another!"
Justin laughed as they walked through Diagon Alley. They bought everything else that was on the list and they were soon exhausted. Justin forgot to tell his sister who he saw since she wanted to know about the 'Boy Who Lived'. It became late as Emma shrink her new school supplies and they changed to their animagus and flew back home.
Emma was currently finishing reading A History Of Magic, and soon started The Standard Book Of Spells. She then stopped and started to wonder who is The Boy Who Lived, who he looks or is like. Emma was feeling distressed and nervous but mostly overwhelmed with the fact that she was going to Hogwarts tomorrow. She then shut her book, as she walked out to her large balcony.
She kept on walking until she was at the edge, staring down where her garden was filled with all kinds of flora. She used her earth powers and the plants began to flourish along the garden. She then used air powers and created a light breeze that flowed like a nice wave. She then used her space power to create constellations from the solar systems. She wished that she was able to discover more stars and constellations. Emma soon yawned, realizing that it was getting late. The constellations slowly disappeared, but before going inside, she made stars and throw them to the pitch-black night sky. The night sky glowed with more light than it did before. The different colors collided with each other, that resembles like an artist that just completed his masterpiece.
Emma got back inside before waving her hand to shut the balcony doors. She got ready to sleep wondering what adventures will she have in Hogwarts. She hoped that there would be no visions tonight.
