Chapter 3
Hogwarts
"Good morning!" Delilah greeted cheerfully, as she sat herself beside Cressebella at the Tapfer table. Grinning, Cressebella waved to Delilah, her toast halfway buttered. Emily grinned at Cressebella, as she waved to the rest of the Majors cheerfully.
As Emily sat next to Delilah, she realized that them two Klugs were the last few to join the group of Majors at the Tapfer table for breakfast. Sighing, Emily reached out and grabbed two pieces of toast and started to butter them.
"..So, you guys excited for today?" Jonathan Phoen said.
"Of course!" Cressebella exclaimed, a huge grin on her face.
Today was the day that they would go over to Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament.
The Majors decided that it would be better if they stuck in a group for breakfast, so as to discuss the happenings and the likes of the trip. As most of the Majors came from Tapfer, they decided to occupy part of the Tapfer table. 'They wouldn't mind', Emily remembered Delilah's words the previous night before.
As Emily finished buttering her toast, she sandwiched a few pieces of ham, lettuce and cheese inbetween and started to eat.
"..So, Emily, you ready for the entrance?"
Emily looked up at the sound of her name and realized that Jack Matthews was talking to her.
Smiling, Emily replied, "Yeah, I'm probably ready. Just need to get fueled up for the big finale."
Jack smiled back, his brown eyes twinkling in the light.
Jack had probably got to be the most nicest guy that Emily had ever met. With spiked hair that was originally black and then dyed a dark blondish-red, Emily found Jack to be almost the same qualities of Delilah and Jeslyn put together. He could be funny and smart, and on the other hand, he could be seriously serious.
Nodding his head, Jack replied with a smile, "I'm probably the one that needs to get fueled up. You just chill, yeah?"
Emily chuckled, nodding her head as she continued to eat her breakfast. Watching around her, she glanced at the Majors and smiled. They probably had to be the only group of friends who actually cared to talk to her, and she was glad for that.

The entrance to Hogwarts was probably quite dramatic. Merlin's Towers came in first, with the bewitched ships that sailed over the calm waters. Headmaster Duncan Murray must have liked ships a lot, thought Emily, as they landed safely - and normally onto the platform of Hogwarts. As they all landed safely, their ship magically directed itself to the Lake, where it could rest peacefully. Other than that, their voyage was quite the norm. As the students of Merlin's Towers filled the small passageway, they were shocked to see Beauxbatons come in flying carriages, and Durmstrag come in a ship as well.
The Majors walked together, of course. As they chattered to themselves, Professor Marymaull approached them.
"Majors, you will be staying in the Gryffindor dorms. All of you."
"...And where's that, exactly?" Holly asked, her voice high pitched and snotty. Emily almost wanted to choke and laugh at Holly, and Delilah almost did, according to the expression on her face.
"Hermione Granger, Head Girl, will be here to lead you to your dorms. She'll also be your guide throughout your stay here. Now, I'll be off. Enjoy yourselves!" Professor Marymaull said cheerfully, as she walked away from us, joining the rest of the Professors as they headed to their quarters.
Hermione Granger was, well.. A cheerful girl. She had, what looks like untamable, bushy hair, but the twinkling of her brown eyes and the friendly look on her face made Emily like the girl almost immediately.
"Hi, my name's Hermione Granger, I'm from Gryffindor so I'll be leading you all there." Hermione said to the group of Majors. As they walked silently along the halls of Hogwarts, Emily couldn't help but be surprised at the interior of the castle. It was as beautiful as it looked on the outside!
"Wow, this place is amazing." Delilah muttered to her. Emily nodded her head back in return.
"..So, your school is famous for it's Elementals?" Hermione decided to speak up for once.
"Yeah, we are." Delilah replied.
Hermione nodded her head, "So, why are you guys called Majors?"
"We decided to put Elementing as our main subject, and although the rest of the school can reign in their powers as well, we can just do it better." Jeslyn said, grinning, her voice cutting through the air.
"Nicely said, Jes!" Cressebella commented, smacking Jeslyn on the back.
"Ow!" Jeslyn exclaimed. "If you do that again, Cress, I swear, I will whack your butt with a tornado!"
Emily smiled to herself, as Hermione decided to be talkative again and asked, "So, what's it that you guys can do?"
As we approached a turn, Cressebella exclaimed, "I'm Cressebella!", and decided to show off her powers first, by clapping her hands and producing a short, bright and loud lightning bolt, all the while chanting, "I can do it, I can do it, I can do it.."
Holly showed off next, obviously. "My name's Holly." With her nose in the air, Holly snapped her fingers and with a turn of her hand, a flower appeared in her hand.
"Oh, my.." Apparently, Hermione hadn't seen this before. The best is yet to come, thought Emily, smiling.
Jonathan clenched his fists, and his entire left arm turned to metal. "Jonathan."
"I'm his unfortunate sister, Jeslyn." Jeslyn said, next to him, stretched out her hands, and as we felt a gust of wind blow, Jeslyn decided to play a little more, and she made a gust of wind blow directly at Hermione, her hair blowing wildly as a result.
Emily giggled, as she saw that, and then she gazed at Delilah, who was standing next to her, who just lifted her hands, and then leaves began to pour all over the place, all over them. "I'm Delilah."
"Hey! Clean that up!" Cressebella exclaimed playfully, her eyes wide.
Jeslyn rolled her eyes, as she lifted her hands again, and then made a gust of wind slowly, but surely blow all the leaves out of the corridor and out one of the windows.
As Emily and Jack were the only ones left who had yet to show their powers, Emily glanced around them, to see all of them looking at the two earnestly, with Hermione's eyes being the widest.
"My name's Jack." He said, snapping his fingers, as he managed to create a fireball in his hands. The heat was pretty unbearable, but then Emily grinned, as she turned her hands in such a fashion that it seemed as if it was a swirling motion. "I'm Emily." Water erupted from her hands in a fountain-like sprout, and then extinguished Jack's fireball.
"Sorry, couldn't help it." Emily apologized, shrugging her shoulders. Yet, she was smiling to herself. She always liked to display her powers. It got her used to the glares and the stares.
"It's okay. That's cool." Jack replied with a smile.
"..wow." Hermione seemed to be speechless. "Wow.. That was - that was amazing!" She stuttered, not seeming to get any words out of her mouth. "I knew that you guys were Elementals through books, but I never thought that it would be like that!" She exclaimed, as we continued walking, turning a corridor and appearing in front of a portrait.
"Oh, we're here." She said, shortly as we stopped abruptly in front of the portrait of a lady. "This is the Gryffindor portrait, you just have to say a password and the portrait will open up, revealing the Common Room and dorms."
Nodding her head, Emily looked at Delilah and quirked an eyebrow. It was quite weird to see how other schools entered their Houses, unlike Merlin's Towers, where they had to make the symbol of their house with their Elements.
"Dragon's Snare." Hermione announced loudly, and the portrait swung open to reveal a warm and cosy Common Room, full of students and talking voices. Hermione grinned to herself, as she said, "Welcome to Gryffindor, Majors."
