Chapter Five

Emily had to deal with the train ride to Hogwarts. Than the train stopped. She looked around and headed to the front of the train to see what was going on. She noticed it was getting colder and than she realized what was happening. She pushed herself against the wall as a Dementor entered the train.

She stared at it as it walked by her. She had her wand out just in case. For some reason, he didn't stop. He seemed to be heading for a certain cart. Emily watched him enter the cart and a few minutes later saw a flash of light. She caught a small glance of what the light was, but it went away too fast. She watched the Dementor continue to walk and check other carts. Emily walked to the cart the Dementor had went in first. The lights came back on and she looked inside. The other boy had passed out. She opened the door.

"Is he okay?" Emily asked.

"He'll be fine," the one guy, who had been asleep, said, looking up at Emily.

He froze and stared at Emily for a minute, before snapping out of it and turning back to the boy.

"Who is he?" Emily asked, looking around.

"Harry Potter," the brown, bushy haired girl said, "I'm Hermione and that's Ron. That's R.J Lupin."

"Oh," Emily said, nodding her head, "if everything is fine, than I'll be going than."

"Where have you been for the past 12 years, Emily?" Remus asked, looking at her.

"Locked in my basement," Emily said, closing the door.

Remus watched her walk off, but didn't leave the cart. Emily ran to check on Lily, who was sitting on the seat, looking shocked. Emily entered the cart and sat down by her.

"Did you see it?" Lily whispered, looking around.

"Yes," Emily said, "it was kinda hard to miss."

"It was horrible," Neville said, clutching onto his toad.

"Dementors can be horrible," Emily sighed, "just be lucky it didn't stay around."

The rest of the trip, Emily didn't say anything. She did see Remus walk passed the cart. He looked in, but just kept on walking. Soon the train came to a stop at the station. Emily followed Lily off the train. She stopped at the carriages. Lily turned around and gave her a hug.

"Write to me," Lily said as she got on the carriage with Ginny.

Emily waved goodbye, than Remus walked up next to her. He looked from her to the carriage.

"You have a kid?" Remus asked, looking at her.

"Ya," Emily said, looking at Remus, "such a handful, especially with that."

"How has that been for you?" Remus asked, looking at the ground, trying not to let her see that he looked sad.

"Been fine," Emily said with a smile, "you should see my basement now. It's metal, with two doors. Ya, no way of getting out of that."

"Smart," Remus whispered, "what are you doing here?"

"Oh, Lily forgot her wand," Emily quickly said with a small laugh, "funny, how sometimes you forget the most important thing."

"I got to go," Remus sighed, looking at Emily, "I'm glad I got to see you again."

"Ya," Emily said with a smile.

Remus got on the last carriage to the school. He waved goodbye to Emily, who waitted until he was out of site before heading back to the train. When she got there, the train was gone. She looked around a bit shocked that it had left so soon. She moaned and headed to the castle.

She got to the gate of Hogwarts and was stopped by Snape, who didn't look at all happy that she was there.

"What is your business here?" Snape hissed.

"My business is my own," Emily said, not even looking at Snape.

Snape glared at her for awhile, before letting her pass. She didn't look back as she headed to the castle. She had been walking very slowly. When she got there, the students were heading to bed. She went into the Great Hall and went up to Dumbledore who stood up with a smile.

"Welcome Miss. Roberts," Dumbledore said, "what brings you to Hogwarts?"

"I missed the train to go back to London," Emily said, looking around.

Dumbledore didn't say anything, but kept on smiling. He started to leave the Great Hall and Emily quickly followed. She watched as they walked passed his office. She began to wonder where he was taking her.
