Emily wake up!!!" My mother screamed for the fifth time. I didn't want to go to a new school let alone a new school in a new country. My father got fired from his job at the MACUSA because a NoMaj ( I mean muggle ... better get used to saying that from now on) found out that he was a wizard. So short story short I had to leave all my friends at Ilvermorny and everything I ever knew. We packed everything up moved to an old abbey in the countryside of Kent. My father got a job at the Ministry of Magic and my mom stayed at home trying to settle into our new life.
I will be going into my 4th year of school and have dreaded the end of summer like never before. But today was the day for me to be shoved into a new culture and society. And by shoved I mean literally shoved because that is the only way my parents are going to get me onto that train. I could hear my mother stomping up the stairs so I quickly rolled out of bed and jumped into the shower. Internally screaming and wishing for this to all be a bad dream and to wake up back in my old bedroom. But against all my pleading and protests this was my new reality... and there was nothing I could do about it.
So I got dressed, brushed my teeth, put on my makeup, and dragged my trunk down the grand stairs of my new home. My mother called for the car to be brought around and walked me out to the front. She could see the pleading in my eyes but she just gave me her famous sad smile and said, " I know it's hard for you Emily. It's hard for all of us but please, be good and remember to always listen to your heart." She opened the door to the car and gave me a kiss and with tears in her eyes closed the door and walked away.
So this is it ... this is the day my life will forever be changed. The journey to Kings Cross Station was way to short for my liking. When I reach platform 9 3/4 I wanted to burst out in tears but I knew I had to make a reputation for myself at this new school. I have to be strong, smart, but most importantly ... I must be brave. As I boarded the train I felt extremely lost. It seemed like all the compartments were full. As I was passing one of the compartments I felt a stare on the back of my neck. I quickly turn around to see a handsome boy about my age staring at me. I couldn't help but slightly shiver under his icy cold glare. Our starring contest was soon brought to an abrupt end as the train speeded off from the station causing me to fall into the arms of a stranger.
"Oh my goodness I'm sooo sorry" I say trying to gather myself back together. As I look up to see who I collided with I see a fairly handsome boy. He just smiles at me and says," no problem. My names Alfred by the way and judging by your accent your not from around here are you?" I smile, my southern accent was always a topic of conversation wherever I went. "You look lost"he said"why don't you come and sit with me and my friends and you can tell me all about that adorable accent of yours." I just smiled and nodded my head as I began to follow him I couldn't help but feel the cold glare from the handsome boy in the compartment next to me. I shake it off and follow my new hopefully friend.
"Guys this is ....actually I never got your name..." They all stared at me waiting for my response. "My name is Emily Elizabeth Adams but you can call me Emmy" I said with pride in my voice. They all stared at me amazed by my (to them) foreign accent. Albert smiled and said, "So Emmy where exactly are you from?" I laughed and told them that first I was from America and second I was from Alabama. They all continued to stare at me in disbelief with their jaws dropped. I did a nervous laugh and Albert started to introduce me to his friends.
" This is Jack, Joesph, Max, and Taylor but we call her Tay Tay." Each one waved to me when their name was called and I smiled and waved back. As I was about to sit down a sly voice came from behind me. " Well well well what do we have here." I turn around to see a boy towering over me with bright blond hair. I looked back at my new friends and they all seemed to be petrified with fear... that is all except Alfred. I turn back around and told myself I have to be brave. "None of your business blondie. You should really go fix your hair because it gets
mistaken as a mop." Alfred was right behind me glaring at this mop with legs. "Yeah Malfoy go back to your compartment you bloody ferret" said Alfred with bitterness in his voice. I was about to say something else when I felt that icy glare again.
"What do you want Riddle!?" spit Alfred. This Riddle guy didn't seem fazed by Alfred's voice. Instead he stared into my deep blue eyes and asked, "Who is this filthy little scum ?"
Who does this guy think he is!! Before Malloy could speak I said in a proud and dangerous voice, " I am Emily Elizabeth Adams and YOU have no right to talk about me that way. I have done nothing to you. So why don't you and your pet mop go back to the broom closet you came out of." For a moment there was shock in his eyes , but it soon turned to anger. And with a threatening growl he said, " YOU better watch yourself Adams or you might just get hurt." I laughed at his attempt to scare me and said, " Bless your poor insolent soul. You think that would scare me. O honey, you have a lot to learn." With that I slammed the door shut and smiled and waved good bye to that hands... I mean pathetic boy.
As I turned around everyone just stared at me in awe. In response to this awkward and uncomfortable action I just shrugged my shoulders and said, " He had it coming with that stupid mouth of his. He honestly thinks he can scare everyone into doing whatever he wants... how sweet. I would tell him that I've meet bread more terrifying than him but I don't want the break his poor little nonexistent heart." At this everyone just laughed. I took a seat next to Taylor and got to know everyone.
Apparently Max and Jack are twins and came from a family of all Slytherin. They said that their parents didn't talk to them for two months when they got sorted into Gryffindor. And Taylor comes from a family of NoM- I mean muggles. Her parents are both doctors and they live in a big house in London. Joesph and Alfred are cousins and live somewhere in Scotland. Joesph is the prank king and the keeper for the Slytherin team. Alfred is the clever one he is always the top of his classes. Max and Jack are beaters and are always up to something, usually helping Joesph. And last but not least Taylor is the class clown always telling jokes to everything that has ears. As I got to know my new friends I started to like it here. Maybe this new school won't be as bad after all.
