Emily Grace Cooper always knew she was different. Strange things had been happening to her ever since she could remember, things she could not explain. Until one day a knock on her front door changed her life forever.
"Hello, Mrs Cooper." Said the woman at the door as Emily's mother opened it. "May I come in?"
"Might I ask who you are?" Mrs Cooper said to the woman.
"My name is Professor McGonagall; I am here to speak with your daughter, Emily." The woman explained.
Professor McGonagall made her way over to the couch where Emily was sitting. Emily looked up and took in the strange emerald green clothes she was wearing.
"Hello!" Emily said cheerfully.
"Hello, Emily. I'm Professor McGonagall, I'm a teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and I'm here to invite you to learn at the school." McGonagall explained to the 11 year old girl.
Emily stared confused at the woman.
"Emily. You are a witch." The woman told her, going on to explain everything to the family.
"I can do magic?!" Emily asked excitedly, she continued to ask Professor McGonagall a million questions. She was looking forward to going to Hogwarts.

First Year
(Emily's POV)
I waved goodbye to my parents as they dropped me off at King's Cross Station and made my way through the crowds searching for platform 9 ¾ but having no success. I started to panic and was way too shy to ask anyone for directions, when I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Looking for a certain platform?" A blonde girl around my age asked.
"Um, yeah... Platform 9 ¾." I hesitantly said.
"Right this way! I'm Lucy, by the way. Lucy White." The girl said, leading me through the crowd.
"I'm Emily." I told her.
Lucy smiled at me as we reached two people standing near Platform 10.
"Mum, dad, this is Emily, she's going to Hogwarts as well." Lucy told her parents.
I smiled shyly as Lucy's mother explained how to get onto the platform (her father is a muggle). I thought she was insane. Running into a wall?! What kind of crazy talk is that! But as I watched Lucy disappear through the wall my doubt left me and I followed after her.

"Excuse me, can I sit in here?" I quietly asked as I poked my head into a compartment with three boys.
"Of course!" Said one of them. "My name's Lee Jordan."
"Emily Cooper." I replied shaking Lee's hand and sitting next to him.
"And I'm Fred! This is my twin brother George!" One of the redheads sitting across from me said smiling.
**********
Before I knew it, I was seated on a stool in front of the entire school with an old pointed hat on my head talking in my ear.
"Hmm, a kind soul, bright mind, hmm, plenty of cunning and ambition, perhaps Slytherin? Oh no I don't think so, too much courage, better be... GRYFFINDOR!" The hat yelled the last word to the entire school.
I quickly got up and joined the Gryffindor table, and was greeted by Percy Weasley.
"Great to have you." Percy said shaking my hand.
I watched as the three boys I met on the train were sorted into Gryffindor as well. Lucy, however, was sorted into Hufflepuff.
"Thank god we got into Gryffindor!" One of the twins said as they both sat down.
"Mum will be quite proud." Percy told them.

Third Year
The train was abuzz with the rumours that Harry Potter is coming to Hogwarts. Lee, the twins, and I decided we just HAD to meet him. We searched up the train until we found Ron sitting in a compartment with a black-haired boy wearing glasses. That's got to be him.
"Hi, very sorry to bother you-"
"Are you Harry Potter?" George blurted out, interrupting me.
I swiftly gave him a whack on the back of the head for being so rude.
"Ow! Emily!" George complained.
"Don't be rude." I scolded, returning my gaze to Harry.
"It's ok. Yeah, I'm Harry Potter." He told me.
"Can we see your scar?" Lee asked, earning a whack from me as well.
Harry lifted his hair so that we could all see the famous lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead
"Wicked." The twins said in unison.
"I'm George by the way." George said shaking Harry's hand.
"And I'm Fred! We're Ron's brothers." Fred said also shaking Harry's hand.
"It's nice to meet you all." Harry said, looking at myself and Lee expectantly.
"Oh! Right, my name is Emily and this is Lee." I told him, earning a smile from the boy.
