Chapter Two

'SNUFFLES'

The next two weeks past in a daze, and Emily was feeling better now she had Snuffles for company. She was able to get through the unbearable remarks from her parents now she knew she'd always have Snuffles at her side.

Sitting near platform 9 ¾ on September 1st, Emily cuddled up to her newly found pet –and best friend- waiting for The Weasley's to arrive. She hated going through the barrier alone, and Fred and George knew that. They never got onto the platform without her.

"Where are they?" Emily grumbled, looking around. The large muggle clock on the right side of platform 7 told her that it was 10:50am. The train was going to leave in ten minutes! Snuffles began to bark wildly, causing people to stare intensely at Emily, "Snuffles, shhh. You're making people stare at us, shhh," But he continued to bark.

Suddenly, someone grabbed Emily from behind, picking her up and causing her to shriek loudly, "What the fuck!? PUT ME DOWN!" The insane chuckles from Fred and George caused her to make a mental note to hex them the moment they got onto the train. "Calm down Em, you make it sound like we're about to rape you," George guffawed, bluntly making his point. Fred put her down, and Emily folded her arms, "Well being as it's you two, your very blunt statement may have been true," She scowled.

"FRED, GEORGE!" Mrs. Weasley's voice could be heard, "Hurry up, the train's about to leave!"

Fred, George and Emily pelted towards the barrier that led to Platform 9 ¾, their trunks bashing at their heels along with Snuffles. They clambered through the barrier and climbed onto the Hogwarts express with minutes to spare. "Phew. Made. It," Emily panted, ruffling Snuffles' hair.

"Fred, George?" Emily called, and they turned around to face her, "Yes?" She smiled at them. They weren't going to like this idea, but she had no other option, "Would you look after Snuffles whilst I spoke to the Prefects and the Head Boy? I'll only be a few moments I swear,"

"Do you solemnly swear?" Fred asked, wiggling his eyebrows. Emily laughed, "I solemnly swear that I will be back in a few moments to relieve Snuffles from your undignified clutches," George roared with laughter and Fred grinned, "Good, then we'll look after Snuffles until you return,"
