harry potter: the twins who lived

chapter twenty-four.

There had been strange images that emma could see, not understanding what exactly they meant, before she is suddenly woken as she sneezed. Her green eyes slowly open, looking at what had woken her from her sleep, and to her surprise it had been crookshanks. The large and fluffy, tabby kneazle had been sitting on her chest, his eyes meeting hers as his tails swishes behind him.
' hermione must have gotten here,' she thought as she sat up from her bed.
" oh good you're awake," said ginny weasley as she came into the room, " mum says breakfast is ready."
" thanks," emma smiled at ginny, " has hermione arrived?"
" she's waking up ron and harry."

They all met for breakfast emma greeting hermione, as molly weasley gave her guests and family, each a plate packed with food. Emma's eyes looked over at harry, having noticed that he had been pale, small bits of sweat glistening on his face.
' another dream,' she thought with worry.
Harry's hair had grown out since the year, reaching to rest on his neck, emma's on the other hand had been rested between her angel bones.
With their breakfast eaten and stomachs full, they piled out of the house, as the weasley's had been in the lead.
" ron where are we actually going?" asked harry.
" don't know," said ron, " hey dad where are we going?!"
" haven't the foggiest," said mr. weasley, " keep up!"

" arthur!" a shout catches their attention, " it's about time son."
" sorry amos," said mr.weasley, " some of us had a bit of a sleepy start."
" this is amos diggory everyone," he introduced the man, " works with me at the ministry."
Amos diggory was a tall man from what emma could tell, having moused chestnut brown hair, and matching brown eyes as he smiled at them. Something or rather someone caught emma's attention, as another appeared, standing beside amos. This person too was tall but much taller than amos, his hair a dark brown color, eyes a gleaming rainy grey.
" and this strapping young lad must be cedric am i right?" asked mr.weasley as he shook the boys hand.

" yes sir," said cedric, " this way."
They followed behind cedric, one by one, emma and harry being in the last.
" merlin's beard!" amos gasped when looking at the twins, " you must be harry and emma potter!"
" yes sir," said harry.
" great great pleasure," said amos as he shook their hands.
" nice to meet you too sir," emma greets as she too shook his hand.
" pleasure to meet you too sir," said harry.

" yes it's just over there!" amos calls.
" shall we?" asked mr.weasley, " we don't want to be late."
Harry and emma noticed them all surrounding a boot, everyone grabbing onto it, the twins looking confused.
" why are they standing around that manky old boot?" asked harry.
" that isn't just a manky old boot mate," said fred.
" it's a portkey," informs george.
" time to go!"

" what's a portkey?!" asked emma.
" ready?! After three. One, two, three..."
" harry! Emma!" mr.weasley shouts to the twins as they grabbed the boot.
They are suddenly flown into the air, their body's spinning, as they held onto the boot. The wind snaps in emma's face, her eyes burning and blurred, as they moved within the air.
" let go kids!" shouts mr.weasley.
" what?!" Emma and hermione asked.

" let go!"
Their hands let go of the boot, emma and harry having been flown back, their screams echoing in the wind. They land with a rough thud on the ground, emma having been lain on her stomach, as they all groaned from the impact. Emma slowly stood up, resting on her knees, looking up when as mr.weasley, amos and cedric landed on their feet.
" i bet that cleared your sinuses eh?" mr.weasley chuckles.
" total shambles per usual," said amos.
" thanks," said harry and emma as cedric helped them to their feet.
