Emily Black (HP FanFic)

Chapter 21

Aunt Marge is coming for a visit.

I don't really like her, and she doesn't like me. She likes Dudley better.

Uncle Vernon told us that if we behave normally and do not talk about magic or anything like that he will sign our permission slips.

...

Tonight is her last night, so if everything goes as planned we will get to go to Hogsmeade.

And of course that is when everything goes wrong. One minute we are eating dinner and the next she is insulting Harry's parents and my father. I can tell Harry is getting quite angry, I can't blame him, I'm furious myself. I just know something is going to happen, I remember harry telling me about all the times he did wandless magic... I think he might do something now, by accident or not.

...

What did I tell you.

We are now leaving with all our stuff and we don't now what we are going to do.

Harry inflated aunt Marge and now we don't know what we are going to do.
"Wait, do you see that?" he asks when we have stopped to catch our breath.
"See what?" I look around and try to find what he is talking about.

Wait... is that a dog? It is, there is a massive black dog in front of us and he is staring at us. We both startle and Harry falls to the ground.

All of a sudden there is a bus in front of us and I don't see the dog anymore.

A guy steps out of the bus and tells us his name (Stan Shunpike) and about the bus, he is surprised that Harry is on the ground but he helps us get on the bus. There are many beds in there and a few people on the bus, some asleep. Stan leads us to two empty beds and leaves for a seconds.

Harry tells me we are going to the leaky cauldron, but he doesn't know what we are going to do after that. He thinks he is going to be expelled but doesn't think that that will happen to me. We have to stop talking about it because Stan comes and stands just by our beds. I don't know how he can keep himself on his feet, the bus is going really fast.

He picks up the Daily Prophet and on the front page is a picture of a man who looks like he's in prison, but the headline says that he has escaped. We ask about it and Stan looks at us like we are nuts for not knowing about it, but he still tells us about it.

When we get to the Leaky Cauldron we meet the minister of magic and Harry goes with him to talk to him.

I sit down and wait for him.

After some time Tom, the innkeeper, brings me a glass of butterbeer, smiles at me and leaves before I can tell him I don't have any money (Harry has it all.) I wasn't going to have any, but after couple more minutes I decide that I'll just ask Harry to pay when he gets back.

I have to wait for a while longer but when he comes down, he tells me that he hasn't been expelled and that we are supposed to stay here for the rest of the summer. I'm about to ask him something when he tells me to wait until we get to our room.

When we go to pay for the butterbeer, Tom shakes his head and tells us it's on the house.

When we are in our room and have had all of our stuff brought up as well, Harry tells me everything that the minister said and that he refused to sign his permission slip. We talk for a while longer about everything that has happened this last week, then we decide to go to sleep and go and buy our school supplies tomorrow and maybe look a bit more around, since the last time I went there I didn't have time to look around that much.
