(Book 1 in Emily Cooper series)
Emily Grace Cooper is a Muggle-born witch and best friends with the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan since they met on the train in their first year. Well known for her pranks and "don't give a shit" attitude, Emily is l...
Soon the holidays were over and we returned to Hogwarts to find out that Harry had received a Firebolt for Christmas!
"So, where is it?!" I asked as I entered the common room.
"Where's what?" Asked Ron.
"The Firebolt!" Fred and George said in unison.
"Did you say Firebolt?" Oliver Wood suddenly appeared behind us.
"Don't get too excited." Harry said gloomily. "It was confiscated."
"What?!" Lee yelled.
"McGonagall is checking it for jinxes, thinks Sirius Black may have sent it." Ron explained.
"But Black's on the run! He couldn't have bought a Firebolt! The whole country is on the lookout for him." Wood argued.
"I know, but McGonagall still wants to strip it down." Harry said.
This made Wood go pale in the face.
"I'll go talk to her." Wood promised. "A Firebolt! A real Firebolt, on our team! She wants Gryffindor to win as much as we do, I'll make her see sense."
"I think you broke him." I said to Harry, watching as Wood walked away still mumbling to himself.

The first DADA lesson of the new term was fun, we were to be practicing our duelling and I was partnered up with George.
"Time to see who's the better man." I said, raising my wand.
"Just you wait, Cooper. I'm gonna kick your ass." George said, also raising his wand.
All eyes were on us, lupin chuckling at our trash talk as he counted us down.
"Three, two, one."
"Rictusempra." George yelled.
I blocked his spell just in time.
"Really, Georgie? The tickling charm?" I asked. "Pathetic."
I raised my wand again and sent a couple of stunning spells his way, which he blocked, I continued sending them out hoping he would slip up.
"Incarcarous." I yelled, my spell hitting him.
George fell back, his arms and legs tied together with ropes.
"Levicorpus."
I decided to add a little more insult to my friend by having him hang upside down in the air, earning laughs from the class and Lupin.
"Alright, Emily, let him down." Lupin told me.
I let George down and removed the ropes from his body, still giggling as I did so.
"I'm gonna get you back for that." George joked.
"I'd like to see you try." I said.
After class we were on our way to the Great Hall to get some lunch when I heard the nasty voice of Adrian Pucey behind me.
"How are your parents, mudblood? Oh, wait they're -"
Before he could finish his sentence, I angrily stormed up to him and slapped him across the face, sending him stumbling back a couple steps in shock.
