Chapter Five: Emma's Real Family

I ran to the main window of the living room and watched as Queenie and Jacob argued in the street. She looked very upset and it wasn't long before she disapparated away, leaving Jacob alone as it began to rain outside. "Oh, I guess the wedding's off, daddy." I announced as I walked back to where daddy was.

"Oh. Well, nothing we can do now." He said before noticing a small piece of a postcard on the floor.

"What's that, daddy?" I asked.

"I don't know, my dear. But let's find out." He drew of his wand and pointed it at the piece of the postcard, "Papyrus Reparo." And with that, the postcard started to reconstitute itself into a whole as it floated into the air. It was a postcard of Paris.

I grabbed a hold of it and turned it around. ""My dear Queenie, what a beautiful city. I'm thinking of you. Tina."" I read aloud, "She's in Paris! She must be looking for Credence too!"

Daddy's eyes shined a bit of determination in them as he leaned down to me. "My dear, I want you to go upstairs and pack as much clothing, toys, books, and colored pencils as you can. We're leaving for Paris tonight."

I gasped in happiness. "Really? But, what about my home?" I asked and pulled the card out of my dress pocket.

Daddy bit his lip. "We'll go there first and then to Paris. Deal?" He stuck out his hand for us to shake.

I smiled and shook his hand, sealing the deal. "Deal!"

"Good. Now, go get packed up." He said and kissed my forehead gently before we both ran off into two different directions.

I ran up the stairs into my room, opening the door and grabbing my backpack from our previous adventure. I began to shove in as many clothes, toys, books, stuffed animals, and many other things into the never ending backpack. I then grabbed my coat and a white hat before seeing Harry, my stuffed owl, laying on my bed. "Harry, come on! We're going on an adventure!" I exclaimed and grabbed him before running back downstairs. But then I saw Jacob, who was soaking wet from the rain outside.

"Emma, where are you going?" He asked curiously.

"We're going on an adventure, Jacob!" I exclaimed before looking down at our basement. "You have all your memories back, right?"

Jacob blinked and shrugged. "Only the good ones, as I said before."

"Good. Then follow me!" I exclaimed and grabbed Jacob's hand, pulling him down into our basement enclosure to find daddy. We ran passed a bunch of our creatures in their habitats and I even saw a few signs that were left for Bunty. I sighed; Of course he had to leave signs for her.

Eventually, we found daddy in his basement office, which was right by the Niffler enclosure. I saw his case and there was a large moving picture of Tina that he had torn out of a newspaper. There was also a small moving picture of him and I during our boat ride to New York. I smiled at the two pictures. "Daddy, are you here?" I called.

"Right here, my dear!" He called and came into few, putting a few things into his case. "Queenie left a postcard. Tina's in Paris looking for Credence."

"Genius. Queenie's gonna go straight for Tina." Jacob exclaimed, "Okay, we're going to France. Hold on, I'll get my jacket."

"I've got it." Daddy said before he pointed his wand to the ceiling and suddenly, Jacob's coat, hat, and case dropped into the floor in front of us.

Jacob smiled, rather impressed. "Beautiful."

"Isn't it?" I asked with a giggle. "I hope you don't mind, Jacob, we'll be making a little stop somewhere first before we go to France"

"Okay. Where are we going?" He asked, putting on his coat and hat.

I smirked, putting on my coat, hat, and backpack while holding onto Harry. "What I believe to be the place I grew up in. The place where my parents raised me in."

"Well then, what are we waiting for?" Daddy asked as I pulled out the address and showed it to him. "Thankfully, that place is close to where we'll be leaving for Paris. Let's go then." And with that, we disapparated away. Thankfully, my stomach had gotten used to all this apparating and disapparating since New York.

The place where we ended up was a large black mansion. It was big and contained a ton of windows; It looked more like a castle than a mansion. I tilted my head. "Are you sure this is the place, daddy?"

"That's what it said on the card, my dear." Daddy said, taking my hand as the three of us walked to the door of the large mansion. I stood on my tiptoes and tried to open the door, but it was locked. "Well, thankfully, I have a mind full of spells that can-"

But before daddy could even cast a spell, Jacob kicked open the door and it instantly opened for the three of us. "Or you could just do that, yes." Daddy sighed but I just giggled. "Thank you, Jacob."

"No problem." Jacob smiled as the three of us walked inside the large and rather dark mansion. Daddy's wand lit up for us all to see the inside better. We saw a large sitting room contained with much more chairs, tables, and a rather large fire place with mold growing in the middle. There was also a large white piano in the center of the room and behind it was a large gold and black staircase that lead to the west wing and the east wing.

"Wow... This place is big." I commented.

"Hey Emma. Are these your parents?" Jacob called to me, looking at a portrait of a young couple.

Daddy and I walked over to the portrait and saw the young couple that stood perfectly still in the portrait. It was a young man and a young woman who stood by each other, but the woman was holding a rather small baby. The man in the portrait was rather handsome with brown hair, a clean shaven goatee, brown eyes that seemed hauntingly enchanting, and he even wore a clean red suit with a black tie and a lion crest on his tie. The woman, however, had long blonde hair with piercing green eyes, and wore a long white and green dress with a serpent choker around her neck. The baby that she held in her arms was rather small with pale skin and large brown eyes, which came from her father.

Daddy leaned up closer and shined his light on the bottom of the portrait. "There's an inscription on the bottom." He said and began to read aloud. ""The Edwards Family: Gael Michael Edwards, Samantha Christine Edwards, and... Emma Rose Edwards.""

My eyes widened as tears started to stream down my face. "These are my parents?" I asked and looked at them closely. I could see where I got my looks from; I could see that I had my father's eyes and hair, but I guess I looked more like my mother.

"Oh, my dear, don't cry." Daddy said as he kneeled down and hugged me tightly.

"I-I'm sorry, daddy, I-I guess I'm just happy to know w-who my real parents were.." I replied with a small laugh, wiping my tears away.

Daddy got out a small handkerchief and helped me wipe my tears away. "But now that we know now, we can uncover more stuff about your parents." He looked back up at the portrait, "For example, I can see that your father was a Gryffindor and your mother was a Slytherin."

I blinked and looked back up at them. They did wear the house colors and even had the animals of the house. But that only raised more questions; What house would I be in if I went to Hogwarts?"

"Hey, Emma!" Jacob called as he ran back over to us, holding up a rather large book. "I found something."

"What is that?" I asked and took the book, blowing off the dust that stained the cover. ""To Our Daughter."" It read in beautiful gold handwriting and there was even a crest of a snake and a lion curled together around a baby.

"My dear, it's nearly dark out. We should get some rest. Would you like to explore more or get some sleep?" Daddy asked me.

I looked back up at him and held the book tightly. "I think we've explored enough for today. I'd really like to go to bed now, please." I said honestly, knowing that I would probably continue my adventure of my old home in the morning.

Daddy nodded his head and sat down the case, opening it up for all of us. "Very well. Let's get to bed, shall we?"

"Me first! We all know how long it'll take me!" Jacob exclaimed before he began to struggle with getting himself inside of the case. But eventually, after a long time of pushing himself and struggling to get inside, we eventually fell into the case while daddy and I laughed, "I'm alright!"

"We'll be down there soon, Jacob." Daddy called as he began to climb down the case before looking up at me, "You've been very brave this whole time, Emma. I'm very proud of you."

I smiled softly, not knowing what I did that was so brave. "Thank you, daddy. I love you." I gave him a small kiss on the forehead.

Daddy smiled and kissed my forehead in return. "I love you too, my dear." And with that, he climbed down into the case and waited for me.

But before I climbed down into the case, I looked up at the large portrait of my real mother and father. I sighed and smiled up at them. "Goodnight, mother. Goodnight, father. I'm glad to have known you both." And with that, I went into the case and went to sleep with daddy and Jacob, unaware of the adventure that would come the next day.

Well, that was certainly a long chapter to do! I'm glad that I'm back in my writing mood and that I actually have free time to write and create what I wish. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed knowing a little about Emma's parents and what they looked like. I imagined Natalie Dormer playing Samantha and Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Gael. Perfect couple, am I right?

Anyway, please make sure to fav, comment, and favorite if you guys wanna see more. For the next chapter, the real fun begins! Bye bye for now!
