Emily Black (HP FanFic)

Chapter. 12

Harry told me to just walk and pretend that I didn't see the stares. We walked to one of the long tables that were there, I guessed that it was the Gryffindor table that Harry and the others told me about. Just as we sat down Ron and Hermione came walking int the Great Hall and walked to where we were sitting.

We said hi to each other and then we started to eat breaktfast. They had told me about the food but I didn't imagine that, there were so many things. I wasn't that hungry so I just got some toast.

After a few minutes I saw Fred and George come into the hall so I waved them over. When they sat down, Professor Dumbledore stood up and everything went quiet. "Good morning, I hope you had a good nights sleep" he said and stared straight at me when he said that. As most of you might know by now, we have a new student, she arrived yesterday. Her name is Emily Dursley and she is Harry's cousin. She's in Gryffindor and she will start today. That will be all."

He sat down and everyone started talking, mostly about me I guess.

"Oh, the Daily Prophet is here" I heard Hermione say, she was looking up so I followed her gaze.
There were so many owls flying and most of them had something with them.

A white, rather beatiful, owl had sat down on the table right in front of Harry. "Hello Hedwig, do you have something for me?" he asked but she didn't, she just looked at him, then at me and then at Harry again, then she nibbled his hand and he gave her some toast, then she flew back up and out of sight.

I heard gasps so I looked around, people were holding the Daily Prophet. I asked someone of I could borrow it and when I looked at the front page I saw the family car again and my parents as well.

The head line read: WHO KILLED THESE MUGGLES?

I dropped the paper and ran out of the hall and went outside. I didn't know what to do so I just went to a tree, sat down there and cried. Harry came out soon after and sat down beside me.
"Hey, are you alright?" he asked.

I laughed and said "Sure, I mean my parents just died, they might have been murdered, I don't know, and, oh, I just lerned that magic does exist and that I'm a witch, but yeah, I'm okay, I'm peachie."

He laughed at this as well. "It's a bit to much to take in all at once, I know, but I'm here and I will help you as much as I can." He hugged me and asked if I wanted to go back inside, we could stay there for a while before we had to go and buy the things I needed for school.

I hesitated but said yes in the end.
