Emma's POV

Romilda had me tell her everything about my first year at Hogwarts. I told her everything after swearing her to secrecy. She was amazed that I am friends with the Harry Potter. I tried to assure her he is no different from other kids my age. But she would not listen. She kept saying how she wanted to be in Gryffindor with us.

Our mother was glad to hear I had such good friends. As well as that I passed all my subjects. She said she is proud of me. I got all my summer homework done.

During the first weekend of the school holidays. Fay came over for a sleep over. She arrived Friday night. I introduced her to my younger sister Romilda. We then had dinner.

Then the next day I showed her around town with Romilda and Coal. We went to the icecream store and park. Fay was amazing by all the muggle things in town. She's a half blood, with a muggle born father and half blood mother. But she lives in a magical house, so does not know much about muggles. We even went the book store and I got her a book on muggle fairy tales by Christian Andersen. A famous muggle author of muggle fairy tales. That night she read them to me with Romilda.

On Sunday she went to church with us. Before we had Sunday lunch with some family friends. Who are muggles and believe I go to a boarding school. Which we told Fay about and she kept the secret. We then went to a drive in and watched Fern Gully. Romilda and Fay explaining what each characters looked like and what was happening during certain scenes. We then went home and had dinner.

She left Monday and I was invited for a sleep over at Hermione's for the following weekend. I had mum write her back saying I would love to sleepover. Mum was worried about me go to the house I'm not used too. But I assured her I'd be fine. As it's smaller then Hogwarts and that I'll have Coal.

(Time skip)

Hermione's mum and her came to pick me up. Hermione helped me into the car with Coal while our mother's talked. Her mother then drove us to her house as we caught up. Apparently she hadn't heard from Harry at all so far. Which is strange as he promised to write to all of us. "Now that I think about it, I haven't received a letter from him either" I tell her.

"Ron's getting worried, I fear he'll do something stupid" she states.

"I'm sure Harry is fine, you know his relatives aren't a fan of magic. Maybe they are stopping him from replying to letters. But I'm sure he's getting them. I'll owl him with a I get home" I assured her. We arrive at her place and she leads us to her room.

"Hope you don't mind sharing a double bed" she says.

"Not at all" I state. We are soon called down when her father returned home from work. Her parents are dentists. I asked if they could exam my teeth. Though I am sure they are fine. They said they'd do it. We had dinner and I go back to Hermione's room with her. We swap stories about our family holidays.

The next day I went the Granger Dental practice. Mr Granger examined my teeth and said they were perfect. I have a slight over bit, but otherwise. There are no cavities, tartar build up or inflamed gums. We then had lunch at Hermione's favourite restaurant. Before going to her favourite book store. Where she introduced me to a couple of her muggle friends. We then all went to beach. Where Coal enjoyed swimming. So we had to give him a bath.

I went home the day after. Mrs Granger dropping me off. Mum and Romilda both hugged me tightly. Glad I had a fun time and returned home in one piece. Mum took my dirty clothes and Romilda helped me unpack the rest of my over night bag. We then brushed Coal before she took him to play as I read a braille book.

All in all it was a normal summer. I heard from Harry at last when Ron and the twins saved him from his house. I didn't get to talk to them in person though. As we went to Diagon Alley on different days. I'm kind of glad I didn't go the day they went. Apparently Gilderoy Lockhart was doing a book signing and Mr Weasley had a fight with Mr Malfoy. Draco Malfoy's father.

I managed to talk mum out of buying the Lockhart books. As it would of been to expensive to have them all made in braille. She got me the braille version of 'The Essential Defence Against the Dark Arts' instead. It's a new DADA book by Arsenius Jigger. This is his first DADA book, he wrote Magical Drafts and Potions. Along with Potion Opuscule. An elementary book on potions my father used to read to me before he died.

But now it's time for me to return to Hogwarts. Romilda whined saying she wanted to go also. But mum and I assured her she'd be able to go next year. We got to the station half an hour early as mum and Romilda have a spa appointment at eleven. So they dropped me off and helped me find a compartment before leaving.

I sat down reading my new DADA book. I soon hear the door open. "Who's there?" I ask.

"Hermione and Fay" Hermione states.

"Then sit down" I tell them smiling. I feel one of them sit beside me. "Where are Harry and Ron?" I ask Hermione.

"Not here yet, but they had better hurry up. The train leaves in ten minutes" she states.

"He's coming with the Weasleys right?" Fay asks.

"Yes, he spent the last week with them" Hermione states.

"I just saw Percy Weasley come through the barrier" Fay states.

"Good, they'll just make the train then" I state. "Their sister starts this year right?" I ask.

"Yes, her name is Ginny. Red hair like the rest of the Weasleys" Hermione tells us.

"Bet she'll be in Gryffindor like her brothers" I state.

"I bet you're wrong" Fay states.

"Twenty sickles?" I ask.

"Deal" she says grabbing my hands and we shake hands. As the train starts to move.

"You to are so silly, I'm gonna go tell Harry and Ron where we are" Hermione states.

"Invite Ginny as well" Fay and I tell her. She agrees to and I hear her leave. "So how was the rest of your summer?" Fay asks me. We start to catch up. Only stopping when Hermione joins us with Ginny. Saying she couldn't find the other two. Strange, where could they be?
