✨The Pure Light✨

Part. 9

   (A/N TW: mention of death, bullying)

   After her dream on Christmas, time flew by really fast. The next thing every student noticed was that it was already start of May and the final exam weeks were coming up. It really stressed out every student, mostly the first years, because they hadn't had an experience in it before. Even though Emily was a 3rd year she was really stressed because of the exams as well. And why is that? Because she decided to become a healer, but she had some problems with potions and it's exams aren't the easiest. It might be weird why didn't she choose to be a magizoologist, like her role model Newt Scammander. The reason actually is that she doesn't want to help only magical creatures but people as well and she thought that this would be the best way to achieve her goal. Still the most stressed ones were the seventh years. Their career depended on these exams and the thought that they have like a month left of school before they leave it behind forever just made it ten times worst. Hogwarts was home for everyone and they didn't want their time there to come to an end. But back to Emily. She was on her way to the library to have a study session with a Ravenclaw girl, who was willing to help her in potions. The Ravenclaw girl - who's name was Sandra- was a really good teacher and she helped Emily to understand a lot of thing she couldn't before. After 3 hours of studying, and a little bit of chatting, she said goodbye to the ravenclaw girl and started to walk towards her common room. When she arrived to the hallway of her common room a group of slytherins showed up and made their way towards her. In the front was Adrian Pucey, her bully. She tried not to care about him and his squad and what they said to her, but deep down there were times when they really hurt her. This time wasn't different. After the slytherins finally left her alone and started to walk again she spotted two identical red heads coming from the way of the slytherin's common room. When they spotted her lonely figure the immediatelly went up to her. They, unfortunatelly, saw the slytherin squad coming from that way so they wanted to check on her.

"Hey Em, are you okay?" "We saw those slytherins coming from here" "Did they bully you?" "Should we beat their ass for you?" " Should we call-" said the twins alternately, but Emily cut them off.

" I'm fine, nothing really happend" she said with a quite voice.

"Wait, I know that face, there did something happend." said Fred with a curious  and also worried look.

"Did they say something bad to you?" now asked George. Emily sighs, she knows that the twins wont give in and she has to tell them.

" Okay, thay did say some things to me, but I will tell them to you somewhere else, where it's more private. I know the perfect place." with that Emily started walking out of the dungeons. After ten minutes they were walking in the Forbidden Forest. A few seconds later they arrived to a clearing. Emily walked to the middle of it and sat down on the grass. The twins sat down beside her and then they heard rustling from the bushes. Suddenly Buckbeak came out from there and walked up to them. It sat on the other side of her. Emily stroke the Hippogriffs nose and took a deep breath.

" So .." she started but did know how to tell them.

"So?" asked George.

" They said some  nasty things..." after that Emily stayed quite for a bit and the twins waited for her to continue.

"They said... They said it was my fault that my parents died and that I'm a freak and that my friends are just talking to me out of pity.." said Emily and when she finished a tear flowed down on her face. Her eyes where deep blue now instead of their normal rubin red color. May not everyone know it but deep down Emiliy's biggest fear was being alone and losing her loved ones. She didn't really care about the freak part because she knew she looked different but the other insults hurt her and made her insecure. Suddenly George stood up and walked infront of Emily and squatted so he could be eye level with her. Meanwhile Fred softly wiped the tear of her face.

" Listen here little one because I'm saying it once. None of these things are true. You are not a freak and your friends all love you and we don't want to see you hurt. And as for your parents, it's not your fault. They don't blame you, infact they are proud of you and watching you from up there." George said and pointed upwards.

"Yeah so get these nonsenses out of your little head and don't listen to them." said now Fred and put his arm around her shoulder. Buckbeak tried to confort her as well in his own way. After a few minutes of the twins joking to make her feel better she held a small smile on her face and her eyes were back to their normal, rubin red color.

" It's startes to get dark so we should go back to the castle before someone catches us." Said Fred while the three of them stood up and Buckbeak left to go back to his place. 

"Not like we care about the curfew or anything but we still need to set up some pranks for the slytherins to activate in the morning and we don't want you to get in trouble." said George and with that the three of them started to walk towards the castle. 

     When they got to the Hufflepuff common room they said goodnights to her and assured her to not to worry about the things those bullies said and took off towards the Slytherin common room to set the pranks.
