Emma's POV

I felt something ice cold splash over my face. Water. I opened my eyes and saw Ellie (one of the girls in my dorm) standing over me, grinning.

"Oi" I shouted jumping out of bed. Ellie started running. I used a spell to change clothes faster and legged it after her.

People dodged out of the way as we sped down the stairs and jumped through the portrait hole. Ellie was really fast.

Once we reached the great hall I stopped running and walked in like nothing happened.

Everyone was staring and I mean everyone. I just smirked and went over and sat next to Ellie. Within a couple of seconds she was drenched in pumpkin juice.

"I got a feeling you're not a morning person." she said while casting a drying charm.

"What gave you that idea?" I said sarcastically. Mcgonagall came and gave us our timetables and Ellie groaned really loudly "wha'sup" I asked.

"Double history of magic with the Slytherins." Ellie explained but it just made me more confused.

Noticing my confusion, she continued. "That means two hours of the Slytherins being horrible and the Weasley twins throwing paper airplanes at my back."

"Why don't you just sit behind them?" I asked as I took a bite of toast.

" They sit on the second to back row and the back row always has Slytherins populating it." She answered and watched me pour milk over this blonde kid making fainting gestures.

"Leave that to me." I grinned evilly and she cackled. Which caused everyone, that wasn't already, to stare at us.

"What are you looking at?" I shouted and Ellie gave the Ravenclaws a glare that would terrify Voldemort (oh no I just thought his name, I'm going to die. Note the the sarcasm) everyone looked away faster than a nimbus 2001: is that possible? Meh, I don't care.

I noticed Tonks had made her way towards us and was now sitting at the Gryffindor table. She'd really grown on me which is hard considering she was an auror and I hate aurors.

"Hey Emma. How's it going. I see you found someone who isn't terrified of you." She said nodding towards Ellie.

"Oh yeah. Tonks this Ellie, my partner in crime." Then I turned to Ellie. "Ellie this is Tonks, the person that's meant to stop me from murdering someone" Unlike most people Ellie just laughed and stuck her hand out for Tonks to shake.

"I hope you won't ruin all our pranks and stuff."She said.

"Oh I wouldn't dream of it" Tonks replied dramatically. "So how did you become friends? Did you have a heart to heart with the girls in your dorm last night and realised you two were meant to be best friends." A grin was evident on her face, but me and Ellie decided to take her completely seriously.

"That would require feelings."

"We don't 'do' feelings."

Tonks laughed at us, "how did you become mates then?"

"She woke me up and poured a bucket of water over me." I pointed accusingly at Ellie, "then-"

"She chased me into the great hall and poured a jug of pumpkin juice on me." Ellie pointed accusingly at me as I tried to keep a straight face. Soon we were all on the floor in fits of laughter.

"Girls" the twins muttered shaking their heads as they passed.

"We better get going. I don't want to be late for my first lesson on my first day." I said getting up.

"Since when did you get so responsible" Ellie asked sitting up.

"I made her promise not to ditch or be late on the first lesson." Tonks said and stood up.

"Aw now I have to get up." Ellie pouted but eventually stood up. "Race ya." Ellie started running and I wasn't far behind.

We burst into the history of magic classroom. Thankfully the professor wasn't there yet. I walked up to the back of the room, all the seats were full.

I gave a pointed look to two slytherins who were trying to avoid my gaze. Man being feared is epic. "Move" my voice was dangerously quiet, but they didn't need to be asked twice and they quickly got up and moved leaving two seats for me and Ellie.

Soon after Professor Binns came in and class began. It was sooo boring. I noticed Ellie kept stealing glances out the window. I looked out to see almost all of six and seventh year passed out on the grass.

"Ellie, what did you do?" Ellie went red.

"Funny story actually involves the whomping willow, a clean sweep 11 and a shit load of firewhiskey. It wasn't just me. all the fifth, sixth and seventh year have a massive party on the first day back. I would've invited you but we weren't friends last night." Ellie explained. We talked for the rest of class and it passed quite quickly.

"What do we have next?" I asked. Ellie looked at her timetable.

"Some careers advise thing with our head of house in the transfiguration classroom." I grinned.

"You go ahead I'll catch you up" I said and ran off."

Ellie POV

I watched Emma run off and I continued to walk to the transfiguration classroom.

The class wasn't that bad a we did was listen to Mcgonagall talk about different career options. Lee Jordan was just about to say what he wanted to do when the door opened and Emma walked in.

"Sorry I'm late professor I couldn't find anywhere to put the body" Emma said.

"She means she was in the bathroom." Tonks said from behind her.

"Aw, Tonks you ruined it!" Emma said pretending to be annoyed.

Mcgonagall looked exasperated "Detention Miss Red, now sit down."

"No not detention! I'm distraught." Emma exclaimed over dramatically and sat down next to me.

"Since you obviously knows what she wants to do why don't you share it with is?"

Emma leaned back on her chair and smirked. "I want to work in the department of magical law enforcement." at that the weasley twins sniggered and I suppressed a smile.

"This is serious." Professor Mcgonagall warned her.

"Correction, Sirius is the first man to successfully escape Azkaban." Mcgonagall just sighed and ignored Emma.

The rest of the day was uneventful and I was glad about that. Some people like to get detention on their first day, but I'm not one of those people. I've got a feeling life's going to be a lot more interesting with Emma around.

A/N I know it's been ages and this isn't very good but who cares. Yay Emma made a friend. If you liked this chapter comment and vote and if you didn't why are you still here?
