The Emerald Trio

•the wedding•

Ella POV:

Today I'm at Samantha 's brother, Bill's wedding. And at weddings, you have to wear DRESSES. And if you know me,then you'll know that I HATE DRESSES. Hermione made me wear a dress. It was Slytherin green, and it had sleeved that went just below my elbow, with those really ugly lace cuffs.

I tried to convince Hermione to let me wear my black combat boots and leather jacket, but she said NO. I then tried again, and this time she let me wear the boots. At least my plan partly worked, although I did want my leather jacket. I did managed to rip the lace off the sleeves so now they were plain. Just the way I like it.

The leather jacket was the last thing that I was from my Mum, after Hermione did some really advanced spell that erased us from their memories. I cried as it happened. Anyways, let's think of happy thoughts, it's a wedding, it's supposed to be happy, right?? Well, nope, happy thoughts stopped whn I went to Hogwarts for my first year.

As I sat in Sam's bedroom, I looked at a photo of us and our parents that was taken just before my first year at Hogwarts. I stared at it, as tears came to my eyes when I thought about our parents. They didn't even know who we were. Before I knew it, tears were running down my face. "Ella, Mrs Weasley wants- Oh, Ells!!" Said Hermione as she rushed over to give me a hug, which I gladly returned.

"I miss them too Ells." Said Mione as she stroked my hair comfortingly. I then sobbed into her shoulder, as more thoughts of them came into my head. "You shouldn't have lost them this young." She said. "You are a strong girl, ok? Never let anyone take the goodness out of you." Said Hermione. Once she heard my sobs calm down, she then sat me up, holding both my hands. "Lets do your hair, shall we??" She asked, with a small smile, as she looked at my messy hair.

As she brushed and styled my hair into my signature french braids, but forced them into a crown braid, saying that I needed to do something different with it. She asked a few questions. "How are you feeling about the wedding?" She asked. " I dunno, but the dress though, I dislike. " I replied, glancing at my forest green dress.

"Well, what are we going to do about it, hmm? I've already let you wear the boots, what more do you want?" She asked with a laugh, indicating my boots. "And no, if you want to wear the jacket, you're not wearing it." She added quickly.

"But it was Mum's!" I complained. "If I don't have it on me the I'll lose it!!". "Well, maybe you don't have to potentially wear it." She said, as I just looked confused. She then handed me a black small bag, identical to the purple one she had, just in a different colour. "What's this for, my jackets not gonna fit in here, Mione." I said , eyeing the small bag.

"Yes it will. I've done an undetecable extension charm on it." she said, as she thrust the bag to me, but I still wasn't sure. "A what?" I said, wondering what an undetecable extension charm was. "Its a spell that makes anything larger on the inside, but appear to be smaller on the outdside." Mione explained, so i decided to open it, and boy, was she right. There was space for everything, even litte sections for stuff, I could fit everything in it.

"Now, if you ever need to run away or something, you should have everything you need in it. Pack the bag, ok? You'll be the only one that has it out of you, Sam, and Dan." she said, but I couldn't help but wonder, why was I the only one with a bag?? "Um, Hermione?" I asked. "Yeah?" replied Mione.

"Why am I the only one with a bag???" I asked. "Well, the others are most certainly gonna lose it. I've already cast a lightweight feather charm on it. Now, come down when your ready." She said and walked out of the room.

When I went outside, I could hear voices and people yelling in French. I spotted Sam and Daniel, and walked over to them as quickly as I could without drawing attention to myself.

"Hey, you guys." I said to them. "Hey Elle." replied Dan. "Wow, Ella, you look great!!!" said Sam. "Thanks, you too." I told them, as we all hurried off away from the crowd into the large white wedding tent. It was filled with even more voices than the outside. Basically a living hell.

You could hear Mrs Weasley saying, "That's my son, you know!!!", full of excitement, like bro. We get it. It's legit at your house and you've told everyone it's your son. Of course, if anyone heard my thoughts I would be dead.

Not too long after, the wedding actually started. Bill and Fleur walked out of the odd hall thingy and onto the stage, as everyone clapped, but me, Sam, and Dan. We only didn't clap cos it hadn't even started, that had just walked out of a hallway. Big deal.

When they kissed, me and the rest of the Emerald Trio looked away in disgust, but clapped still. Hermione slapped me, and told me to look, but I still had my back turned. About a few seconds later, some crazy song played, and my friends and I hurried to the drink stand, where we met the Golden Trio.

The Golden Trio consisted of Hermione, Ron, who's Sam's brother, and Harry, Dan's cousin. We all hung out in Trios, and were well known around Hogwarts, except we wouldn't be returning this year.

I mean, I love Hogwarts, but Harry is being hunted down by one of the most Dark Wizards in magical history. He's been hunting Harry down since he was a baby, cos the old codger thought that a baby could have taken his powers, like mate. No.

Who is this dark wizard, you may ask? Well, his name is Lord Voldemort, formerly known as Tom Marvolo Riddle, well, when he was at school. The school is called Hogwarts, a magical boarding school, and that's where we go now.Well, we're not going this, year, only Ginny, who's Sam's older sister.

So yeah. Suddenly, I heard a bunch of screaming, and everyone ran away. "W-what's going on??" I asked Hermione. "Ella, Sam, Daniel!!! Grab my hand, we need to apparate away!!!" exclaimed Hermione.

So, we did what she said, we all grabbed her hand, and suddenly we were on Tottenham Court Road, in muggle London, and we were all breathing heavily. "Ok, come on, we have to go." said Hermione once we were off the road, as a group of teenage girls walked by, laughing at Ron's outfit.

"Uhh, Hermione, out of interest, why Tottenham Court Road??" questioned Ron whilst the girls laughed. "First thing that came to mind, my parents and I used to come here all the time." she said as we hurried off into some dark alleyway. "We have to get changed." I told them as I pulled out clothes and shoes for me, Dan and Sam.

I put on my signature leather jacket and boots, with a black long sleeved shirt, with a green tank top over it, as well as a pair of black mum jeans. Once everyone was changed, we went into some cafe that was in the busy streets of London.....
