Emily came down the stairs on October 31st, 1990. "Morning Noah," she yawned.

"Morning Em," Noah replied. Emily never called Noah dad, as she still remembered her biological dad. As normal, Noah was reading the daily prophet and smiled as he put the daily prophet down. "Happy birthday love," he said.

"Thanks, good waffles," Emily thanked with her mouth full. Noah chuckled and started eating his waffle. Today they were going to go to grimmauld place, to talk to the portrait of grandma Walburga as she died 2 years ago. 

After breakfast, Noah and Emily walked outside and apparated to grimmauld place. "Morning Kreacher!" Emily yelled happily, immediately walking towards the portrait of Walburga, "Morning grandma," she said happily.

"Happy 10th birthday darling, I asked Kreacher to get you something, it is on the kitchen table for when you have lunch," Walburga cooed.

"You didn't have to..." Emily replied, and they talked for a few hours until Noah told her to come down for lunch. "See you later grandma!" and Emily ran down the stairs, two at a time. Walburga chuckled, she was the exact mix of her father and her mother. 

When Emily reached the dining room, she was shocked to see a birthday cake, a few presents, and an owl. She got an owl! "First the cake, then the presents." Noah said sternly, and they enjoyed the strawberry cheesecake. She first opened the presents on the table. She got a telescope, a few books and an bloody owl! She called him Phoenix, as that was one of her favourite creatures. Then Kreacher came holding a present in his hands. It was small, and un neatly packed, but Emily could that Kreacher really tried his best. "For young master, Kreacher was asked to get you a present, and I hope you like it," Kreacher said shyly. She opened it, and in there was the Locket of the House of Black. "Thank you so much Kreacher, it's amazing!" she said while bringing him in a hug.

After they pulled away, Emily looked outside and an owl was coming for the house. She tilted her head sideways and asked her father about it. He didn't know. She opened the window and the owl swooped in. It. Was. Her. Hogwarts. Letter... SHE WAS GOING TO HOGWARTS!!! "I'M GOING TO HOGWARTS!!!!" Emily shouted and started dancing. Noah and Kreacher were staring at her in disbelief. "But how... You just turned 10..." Noah croaked. Emily didn't know but shrugged it of and ran to Walburga's portret to tell her the good news. Walburga was excited and after a few hours, they headed back home.
