A new chapter for all of you faithful readers. :hug: :bye:
~Chapter 1: Part 2- Year 1~After we had all eaten Dumbledore gave his speech to the whole school including “No students are to go into the Forbidden Forrest, Mr. Filch, the caretaker, wishes to tell all students not to do magic between classes in the corridors, Qudditch trials will be held in the second week of the term, anyone interested in playing for their house team should contact Madame Hooch. And finally no students are allowed on the 3rd floor corridor on the right hand side, it is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death.” Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eye and then we all were then dismissed.
Before we left following Percy Weasley the Prefect, a ghost popped up out of no where.
“Ahhhh!” Most of us first years screamed.
“Hello, I’m Nearly Headless Nick, but I prefer Sir Nicholas.” Nearly Headless Nick said.
“Nearly Headless? How can you be Nearly Headless?” Hermione asked.
“Like this.” He said and he pulled on his ear and his head fell onto his shoulder only being held up by one piece of skin like a hinge.
“Ewww.” Me, Sam, Elodie, and Ana Sophia said in unison.
“Gryffindor’s follow me!” Percy yelled at the head of the group. As we walked up the giant staircases they were all moving and we jumped on one that was moving toward the Gryffindor common room and as it moved I lost my balance and ran into a boy. He caught me around the shoulders and I looked into his deep brown eyes and I felt my knees grow weak.
“Are you alright?” He asked.
“I’m fine thank you.” I said regaining my balance and stepping away from him, “I’m Emily Potter.” I said holding out my hand and he took it and shook it.
“I’m Orlando Bloom. It’s a pleasure to meet you Emily.” He said smiling at me, wow he was one of the few people who treated me like a normal person when they first met me. Then we reached the landing and walked up to a portrait of a fat lady.
“Password?” She said.
“Caput Draconis.” Percy said and the portrait sung open to reveal a little stone hallway that led to a warm cozy large common room, it was round with many soft squishy arm chairs and a large fireplace, “This is the Gryffindor common room where you can spend a lot of your time studying, socializing, and etc. Up this spiral staircase is the boys and girls dormitories girls on your left, boys on the right.” Percy said and we all went up the stairs and I noticed Orlando, Harry, Ron, Fred, George, Percy, Neville, and other boys go through the right hand door and I followed Hermione, Sam, and Elodie into the girl’s dormitories and it was so beautiful.
Five 4 poster beds were in the room with deep red, velvet curtains and surprisingly our trunks and animals had already been brought up and put in front of our beds. Hermione was on one side of me and Sam on the other, on the other side of Sam was Elodie, on the other side of Elodie was Laila, then in the room next door to us was Miranda, Allison, Parvati, Lavender, and Katie Bell. Most of the other girls were in our girl’s dormitory tower. Miranda, Lavender, Parvati, and Allison came into our dormitory to talk to us.
“I can’t believe we have Emily Potter in our house.” Miranda said excitedly.
“I am like any other normal person, except-“ I said until Hermione interrupted.
“Your special gift of long lasting memory. It is in
Modern Magical History and
Great Wizarding events of the 20th century and
The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts.” Hermione said and I felt my jaw drop, I was in books. Gosh, I didn’t know I was that famous. Well, I guess I kinda did but didn’t want to admit it.
“I’m Miranda Jackson, you can call me Mir for short. I come from one of the richest pureblood families in England. Both my parents work in the Charms section in the Ministry of Magic.” Mir said smiling.
“Hello, it’s nice to meet you.” I said.
“Your family is one of the richest in England?” Laila said with her hazel eyes sparkling.
“Yes, what about your family?” Mir asked.
“I just live with me mum in the wizard part of Wales, me dad is- never around any more. Me mum went to Hogwarts she was in Gryffindor with me dad, her name is Maria, she works in a little wizard bookshop in Wales.” Laila said with her head held down and her dark brunette hair fell in her face like someone else I had seen pictures of before, but I can’t put my finger on it.
“It’s nice to meet you Laila.” I said walking over to her and extending my hand and she shook it smiling.
“It’s nice to meet you too.” She said.
“I’m Allison Lomax. It is a pleasure to meet you all I come from a half blood family. Me dad’s a muggle and me mum is a witch, we live in London and my mum, Nora works at Flourish and Blotts in Diagon Alley and my dad, David Lomax, is the assistant to the Prime Minister in London. We are a pretty rich family and I’m personal friends with the Prince Charles and his family. Dad knew about Mum being a witch when he met her after she had graduated from Hogwarts and they dated for a couple of years and then he proposed to her and they got married one year later.” Allison said and we all looked at her with jaws dropped, “What it’s not like my cousin is the boy who lived and I have the long lasting memory, I just know the Princes of England personally, no big deal.” Allison said sitting down on one of the chairs in the room.
“Well, it’s nice to meet you.” I said and she smiled.
“It’s very nice to meet you too.” She said. And we talked about our family lives and Hogwarts and the other new first years for a couple of hours until Hermione spoke up about the time.
“Well, now that we all have gotten to know each other it is 10 o’clock and we should get some sleep, we have classes tomorrow.” She said and Miranda, Parvati, Allison, and Lavender left our room and we all got a good night sleep.
Next Day and an overview of the year……
We got our schedules and first in the morning we had Herbology, then we had History of Magic, then Charms one of my personal favorites, then Transfiguration another one of my favorites, then Defense Against the Dark Arts, another one of my favorites, then on Fridays we had potions in the morning periods and on Wednesdays astronomy at midnight. Those were how our classes went for the whole year. Everyone I knew were in my classes and some new people I met, Amaryllis, Elijah Wood, John Rhys-Myers and Viggo Mortenson who were in Ravenclaw, Cedric Diggory, Ana Sophia, and Gerard Butler from Hufflepuff, and ofcourse Malfoy, Kate, Crabe and Goyle, and Pansy Parkinson, who didn’t get along with Kate because she also liked Malfoy from Slytherein were in my classes.
Friday Harry and I got our first owls with everybody else.
“I got a letter from Hagrid. He wants me to come down to his hut with him for 3 o’clock tea.” I said and Harry looked at me.
“He wants me to come down too.” Harry said and we wrote Hagrid back and told him they would meet him for tea. Ron, Harry, and I went down for 3 o’clock tea and Hagrid almost, well he did cry seeing me and Harry finally together again.
Then the next week we had flying lessons and Harry got in a fight with Malfoy over a rememberal and he became the new Gryffindor seeker because of his flying. Then one night we were walking around the corridors after dinner.
“So, I told Proffesor Binns he had that information wrong and he looked at me like I was crazy.” Hermione said as we were walking up to the Gryffindor tower with Harry, Ron, Sam, Elodie, Neville, and Orlando.
“Hey Sam! SAM!” Gerry yelled running up after us.
“Yes?” She said stopping on the steps.
“You left your Herbology book in the Great Hall.” Gerry said handing her book to her.
“Thanks.” She said smiling at him and he blushed a little and then Filch yelled at us and we ran into the nearest corridor.
“Wait a minute, we’re in the 3rd floor corridor, we’re not supposed to be here.” Hermione said. Then we all heard Filch coming closer.
“Run!” Harry said and we all ran towards a door at the end of the hall and Ron and Orlando tried to open it.
“It’s locked.” Ron said frustrated.
“Oh move over!” Hermione said, “Alohomora!” Hermione said and the door unlocked. And we all ran into the room.
“Why was that door locked?” I asked.
“That’s why.” Sam said with a squeaky voice and we looked at where she was looking and there was a large 3 headed dog looking at us.
“Nice doggy, good doggy.” Orlando said.
“AHHHHHHHHH!!!!” We all yelled and the dog began barking at us and we quickly ran back through the door and back towards Gryffindor tower and Gerry ran down to the to the Hufflepuff house.
That was our first experience with something strange for the first year and they on Halloween the next thing happened. Everyone was all eating dinner except for Me, Hermione, Laila, Miranda, Amaryllis, Sam, and Elodie. Allison, Lavender, and Paravti were getting some food for us in the Great Hall when we heard a loud banging sound.
“Hermione, come on out. Lets all go up to the Great Hall for some dinner and meet the rest for Dinn-“ I said and then I suddenly stopped when I noticed the giant troll in the doorway to the girls bathroom.
“Oh my God.” Amaryllis said backing up against the wall, with Miranda, Elodie, Sam, Laila, Hermione, and I following her and then we ducked underneath the stalls as the troll swung his club at us and Harry, Ron, Orlando, Gerry, Elijah, Allison, John, and Viggo came running into the bathroom.
“Girls move!” Harry yelled and we moved under the rubble of what was the bathroom stalls over to the sinks and hid under there.
“Use your wands!” I yelled.
“WHAT?!?” Orlando, Harry, Ron, Gerry, Elijah and the guys yelled.
“USE YOUR WANDS!!” Me, Amaryllis, Miranda, Hermione, and the other girls yelled. Just then Harry was picked up by the Troll and he began swinging his club at him. “USE THE LEVITATION SPELL WE LEARNED TODAY IN CHARMS!!!” Hermione and I yelled. Then the boys yelled the spell we had learned earlier in the day in charms class and the club began floating in midair and hit him on the head. Then Harry fell to the ground just as the Troll fell too.
“What is going on here?!” Professor McGonagall yelled running into the bathroom with Snape, and Quirrell behind her. “Explain yourselves!” She yelled at all of us standing there with plaster and wood chips and dust all over us girls and the boys standing there with their wands out.
“Well, you see……” The boys started to say stammering.
“It’s my fault Professor. I came in here thinking I could handle the Troll and the girls here followed me and then the boys found us and if they didn’t we girls probably would be dead.” Hermione said and Professor McGonagall looked at her shocked.
“Not many can fight a Troll and live to tell the tale. 5 points will be taken from Gryffindor from your actions Miss Granger and 5 points will be awarded to each of you in this room to each of your houses, for sheer dumb luck.” Professor McGonagall said.
“You b-better get go-going, he might w-wake up.” Professor Quirrell stammered and we all quickly ran out of there.
“Thanks for saving us.” I said to the boys.
“It was nothing.” Harry and the boys said sheepishly and then I ran over to Harry, Orlando, Ron, Gerry, Elijah, John, and Viggo and I kissed them all on the cheek and the other girls except Hermione followed my example. After that we went back to our common rooms for the rest of the night.
That wasn’t even all of the weird stuff that happened this year. The next day Harry had his first Qudditch match and his broom was jinxed, then we learned the name of that 3 headed dog from Hagrid, who trained it! It’s name is Fluffy and it is guarding the Sorcerers stone! So, then came finally Christmas break.
“Hermione, I didn’t know you were heading home for Christmas break?” I asked as I dragged my trunk downstairs and noticed her with her trunk.
“Yes, I decided to go home. Orlando, Harry, Ron, Elijah, Sam, Elodie, and Miranda are staying here and are going to research the Sorcerer’s Stone while the rest of us are gone.” Hermione said and I noticed Harry and Ron in the Great Hall playing Wizards Chess. I walked over with my trunk and sat down next to Harry.
“Are you sure you don’t want to come to Aunt Mary and Uncle Jim’s for Christmas? You’ll get to meet Lilly and Jack. Aunt and Uncle would love to have you, they are part of your family too.” I said trying to convince him to come.
“Thanks Emily for the offer, but I want to stay here. Plus I have some researching to do in the Restricted section of the Library. I will send Hedwig to send you a Happy Christmas letter around Christmas.” Harry said smiling at me.
“Alright, I will send Narnia to you too. Happy Christmas.” I said and I hugged him and kissed him on the cheek goodbye and said goodbye to Ron and then Orlando came running in with Elodie.
“Hello Emily, wait your leaving?” Orlando said and Elodie stopped running.
“What?!” She said surprised, “I thought you were gonna stay and help research.” She said.
“No, I’m going home to spend Christmas with my Aunt and Uncle. I will send my Christmas gifts to you guys when I get home.” I said and I hugged Elodie goodbye.
“Goodbye and we will send our gifts to you too.” Orlando said and he hugged me and then I said goodbye to the rest of the group and left. I sat with Hermione, Allison, Laila, and Amaryllis on the way back. John, Viggo, and Gerry sat together in a compartment near ours. I slept most of the way and I was so happy to see my Aunt and Uncle on the platform to meet me when I got home.
“EMILY!!” They yelled and I ran into their open arms and they hugged me close and kissed me. I talked the whole way home about everyone I met and about Harry and I swear I saw my Aunt and Uncle crying when I talked about Harry. It turned out Aunt Mary knew Hermione’s parents and was pretty good friends with them, so that was interesting to hear and she told me about how she heard from Mrs. Granger about me meeting Harry on the first day.
Christmas was wonderful and I got loads of presents from my Aunt and Uncle and from my friends at Hogwarts, Harry sent me a book about flying and it made me feel special, but there was one gift that didn’t have a name on it under the tree and it was a purple and gold cloak.
“Aunt Mary and Uncle Jim, did you get this for me. It says on the card
‘Your father left this to me to give to you before he died, you uncle had one just like it, so your cousin will receive one too, use it well.’ Are you two playing a trick on me?” I asked looking at them and they looked at each other shocked and then at me.
“Emily, we didn’t write that card and we didn’t know about that cloak. Put it on, I have a irking feeling what it is.” Uncle Jim said and I put it on and my body disappeared.
“Where is my body?!” I said surprised.
“It’s under the cloak, that is an invisibility cloak!” Uncle Jim said shocked.
“A what?!” Aunt Mary and I said in unison.
“An invisibility cloak, James and your father had one, I remember them playing tricks on people with them. The gift must’ve been from Dumbledore. Only use it for good, never for evil or to play tricks on people, those cloaks can cause much danger.” Uncle Jim said and I knew what I was going to use this for.
Once I got back to school I realized Harry ahd received one too and he found a mirror, called the Mirror of Erasid, that should your hearts desire. He should me with our cloaks where to find it and I looked into the Mirror and I saw my parents, I cried that night and Harry whispered in my ear.
“Don’t cry Emily, I saw my parents too and we both have the same wish, to see our parents. I feel your pain.” He said as he held me in his arms while I cried and I knew I did truly have a friend in my cousin, he will only be the true one who understands my feelings.
Throughout the rest of the year we slowly began to realize what the Sorcerer’s Stone could do and we knew we had to save it from Snape. So, we decided one night to go and get the stone. Me, Hermione, Elodie, and Sam, crowded under my cloak while Harry, Ron and Orlando were under Harry’s cloak. We opened the door into Fluffy’s room and realized Snape had already been there.
“See the harp, he’s already been here.” Harry said.
“He put a spell on the harp, we got to hurry.” I said as the cloak from Fluffy’s snoring was lifted off of me and the girls and the same happened to Harry.
“Now if anything happens get yourselves out of here.” Harry said to all of us.
“I’m not leaving you Harry, you go, I go.” I said and he stared at me and then back at Orlando.
“If anything happens Orlando, make sure Emily gets out safely.” Harry said and then all the sudden it got very quiet.
“Why is it so quiet?” Elodie asked.
“The harp, it stopped playing.” Hermione said.
“That means…”Sam said and just then Ron looked up and went pale white.
“Jump!” Harry said and we all jumped down into the door underneath Fluffy’s feet. We landed on a large plant.
“Lucky this plant thing was here.” Ron said laughing nervously.
“Yeah, it really broke our fall.” Elodie said laughing with him. Just then some of the plants tentacles grabbed at us and had a tight grip on us.
“Whoa!” Harry yelled as they really started to grip tight.
“Oh, God we are never gonna get out of here!” I said struggling against it’s tight bonds.
“Stop moving, just relax. It’s the Devil’s Snare if you keep moving it will strangle you to death.” Hermione said being calm as she sat still.
“Oh yeah, we can really relax now!” Orlando said pulling harder against his bonds as did the rest of us. All the sudden Hermione slipped through the Devil’s Snare’s grip and fell underneath it.
“HERMIONE!” We all yelled and then we heard her hit something hard.
“Just realx! Trust me!” She yelled up at us and I noticed Elodie, Harry, Orlando, and Sam immediately relax, so I decided to let my feelings take over and I trusted Hermione and I relaxed immediately I felt the grips loosen. Just then I saw Elodie fall, then Harry, then Sam, and then Orlando and then I felt the grips completely let go of me and I fell and was caught by Orlando and Harry.
“Thanks boys.” I said as they put me down.
“No problem.” They both said and Ron was screaming scared and he wasn’t relaxing.
“He’s not gonna relax is he?!” Sam yelled with a worried tone in her voice.
“I know a spell from Herbology, Devil’s Snare is deadly fun but will sulk in the sun!” Hermione yelled and she said the spell for sunlight and shot it up at the plant and then it gave an ugly shriek and let Ron go and he fell to the floor.
“Luck we didn’t panic.” Ron said blushing bright red and brushing off some leaves from the plant off his shirt.
“Lucky Hermione pays attention in Herbology.” Harry said glaring at Ron and we moved on. We walked through the next door and into a room with keys flying all over the whole tower room and a broom floating in the middle of the room. We saw a door on the other side and ran to it but it was locked.
“Alohamora!” Ron, Orlando, Sam, Elodie, and Hermione yelled at the door.
“We need to find a key.” Harry said.
“Like that’s gonna be easy.” Orlando said looking up at the keys flying around.
“It probably is an old one, maybe rusty.” Elodie said.
“There up there! The one with the broken wing!” Sam yelled pointing toward an old rusty key with a broken wing. We all ran over to the broom and Harry hesitated in front of it.
“Oh come on Harry, if Snape can fly on that old broom so can you.” Ron said.
“You’re the youngest seeker in a century and the best on the Gryffindor team, you can do it.” Elodie said patting him on the shoulder.
“I’ll do it.” Harry said and once he got on the broom all the keys went towards him and he flew fast up near the rafters.
“He can’t see it and get it all the other keys are getting in his way.” Ron said.
“Then I’m gonna help him.” I said and I ran around the room trying to find another broom and I then stopped and I thought really hard at where a broom could be and then all the sudden a closet appeared out of no where and ran to it and inside was a broom.
“Where did that broom closet come from?” Sam asked running over.
“I don’t know, I just wished there was a broom closet and all the sudden there was one over here.” I said jumping onto the broom and immediately all the keys began flying away from Harry and towards me. “Uh-oh, I’ve got to fly.” I said and I flew up towards the rafters and then flew close to Harry so he could find the broken key in the group.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!” He yelled at me and he grabbed at the key in the group and we both were getting cut by the keys and their wings.
“HELPING YOU!! NOW GET THAT KEY!!” I yelled and he then flew at the broken key, while I distracted the other keys.
“I GOT IT! CATCH IT GUYS!!!” Harry yelled down at everyone else and he tossed the key to Hermione and she opened the door and Harry and I flew through the door and landed hard on the floor.
“I didn’t know you were that good of a flyer?!” Harry said as everyone stared at me and Harry in shock.
“It runs in the family, but I don’t really want to play Qudditch.” I said and they all looked at me like I was crazy.
“You would be amazing for the team! You have to try out next year!” Ron and Orlando said.
“Let’s just keep moving.” Hermione said rolling her eyes and we continued and walked into a dark room that was like a cemetery.
“Where are we?” I asked as we walked on the black and white marble floor.
“We’re on a chess board.” Ron said as these torches on the sides of the giant board lit up the whole room.
“Oh my God.” Elodie said and Hermione looked around in shock, we all began to walk towards the other side to the door, when the pieces in front of the door brandished their swords at us.
“Now what?” Sam asked gulping.
“We play. There are only 3 spots not filled on our side, Harry, and Hermione you two are gonna play with me. The rest of you lot sit on the side lines and keep watch.” Ron said and they got into position and played. We all watched in terror and fear and anticipation to make sure we would win. Then Ron decided to sacrifice himself.
“RON NO!!” Sam yelled.
“NO, YOU CAN’T!!” Hermione yelled.
“Ron, please don’t! There has to be another way!” I yelled.
“No, it has to be this way!” Ron yelled and he moved and called check and then the queen on the opposing side stabbed his horse and it exploded and Ron flew off the horse on the floor unconscious. Sam got up and was about to run towards him when Orlando grabbed her.
“No, don’t forget they are still playing.” He whispered in her ear. Harry then moved and was check mate and we won. We all ran onto the board and toward Ron.
“I want all of you to stay here and help get Ron back and send an Owl to Dumbledore about what is going on. Me and Emily are going on.” Harry said and I looked at him surprised.
“I thought you-“ I started to say until he stopped me.
“This is our fight, we went through an evil dark lord who killed both our parents and it is our mission to fight him and Snape. I couldn’t do this without you.” Harry said and we smiled at each other.
“Take care Harry.” Elodie said as she tackled him in a hug and kissed his cheek.
“You’re a great wizard Harry. And you’re an amazing witch Emily” Hermione said smiling at him.
“Be careful Emily and Harry.” Orlando said and he hugged me and kissed my forehead, “Come back safe.” He whispered to me and then Sam hugged us both.
“You guys need to come back, fight this and fight Snape.” Sam said and then we walked away from them and went through the other door. As we walked through the other, my head started to hurt and I heard the screaming and everything from my nightmares in my head. I collapsed to the floor with tears falling down my face and the sounds of the memory playing in my head.
“Emily? Emily! What’s wrong? Emily, speak to me!” Harry said falling to the floor next to me and holding me in his arms.
“I hear them. I hear them screaming. I hear him casting spells on them, I hear the dark lord’s laughter. I hear you crying. Make it stop, make it stop!” I cried and Harry pulled away from me and made me look him in the eyes.
“What do you hear?” he asked and suddenly it all stopped, but I had a major headache.
“I heard- I’ll explain later, let’s just move on.” I said standing up and wiping my eyes.
“Ah- nevermind.” Harry said and we walked down these dark steps and into an amp theater like space and there was Professor Quirrell in front of the Mirror of Erasid.
“You?” We both said in shock and Quirrell just smirked at us. He explained his story and then a voice came from out of the shadows somewhere and I knew that voice.
“Let me see them.” It said.
“I know that voice.” I whispered to Harry and he stared at me and then back at Quirrell who was untying his turban and what stared back at us was the most ugly sight I had ever seen. It was Voldermort living off of the back of his head.
“Ah, Harry it’s good to see you. And Emily, the one who I let live and shouldn’t have, still having nightmares?” He said with an evil sneer.
“You vile, evil creature! You killed my innocent parents and my innocent Aunt and Uncle. I have nightmares about you and I hear your voice and laughter in those nightmares. I hear my parents and my Aunt and Uncle scream as they die and fight for us. I will remember one day everything you did and I will tell the story of you evil works you did that night. No one knows the real story of what you did.” I yelled walking towards him but Harry held me back. Voldermort just laughed at me.
“You silly girl. You’re never going to fully remember that night, it will only live in your nightmares, plus you don’t scare me.” Voldermort said.
“Trust me, one day I will.” I mumbled and Harry looked at me and then back at Voldermort.
“Now look into the mirror Harry. Tell me what you see.” Quirrell said and then Harry walked over to the mirror and while he was over there, I looked around the room for a way out and trying to figure out a plan to get out of there. Suddenly, Voldermort yelled.
“GIVE ME THE STONE!!” He yelled and I looked at Harry’s pockets and there was something sticking out in one, then I realized Quirrell was coming at him. I ran in front of Harry and kicked Quirrell in the chest and he fell to the ground hitting the back of his head on the hard stone floor.
“Don’t touch Harry!” I yelled, “You don’t deserve the right to have the stone!” I yelled and Voldermort screamed.
“Get her later! Get that stone!” Voldermort screamed as Quirrell got up and he went toward Harry and then Harry grabbed his hand and pushed him away and then his hand started to disintegrate.
“What is this magic?” he screamed and Harry and I looked at each other. I ran over and grabbed his other hand and it began to disintegrate.
“Get the stone!” Voldermort yelled and Harry looked at me and nodded. We ran towards Quirrell and both grabbed his face and it began to disintegrate and I fell to the floor. Before he totally disintegrated he kicked me in the head and I was knocked out cold.
I woke up in the Hospital Wing the next morning with Harry in another bed next to me. I had loads of gifts as did Harry. Once we were both better we went to the last feast and Gryffindor won the House cup. The next day we went home on the train and it was strange going home, but I couldn’t wait to start the next year.
