The moment Hagrid came to the hut on the rocks was a turning point in Emma's life, that was for sure. At this point she didn't know how exactly she felt about everything.

As she lay awake under Hagrid's coat, her brother still snoozing beside her and the light snoring coming from Mr. Hagrid, she reflected on the implications of what had happened. She was a witch, her parents were murdered, they were famous, or rather Harry was famous, she was kept secret from the Wizarding World, Harry was going to Hogwarts… Harry was going to Hogwarts… without her… without his little sister.

Harry would get to go to a school of magic, leaving the Dursley's behind, leaving the non-magical… Muggle world behind, "leaving me behind." She thought.

Emma wasn't jealous, that would be pointless. She was happy for Harry.

"Happy for Harry." she mentally chuckled at the alliteration and rhyming of those words.

She was beyond happy for Harry. It had been their dream to escape Privet Drive. To escape the Dursleys. But Emma had to stay behind. Harry would be gone for a year and she wouldn't see him until that year was up. Of course it wasn't a whole year. But it was near enough. Harry was returning to the Wizarding World after ten years in exile. Emma would remain in exile for one more year. Then both Potters would return to the world that they left.

Emma was brought out of her musings by the sound of a tap, tap, tap. She squinted as the morning light hit her eyes through the window. There was an owl, carrying what looked like a rolled up newspaper, pecking at the window. The tapping made Harry stir and wake up.

"Aright, I'm up I'm up!" He pushed the coat off of himself and Emma.

Emma giggled lightly at Harry, then frowned, she was really going to miss her brother. Things wouldn't be so bad if she had someone, anyone else around with whom she had regular contact, but between her bully of a cousin and the poor state of any and all clothing she owned Emma had no friends at school. She wasn't allowed to take part in anything like girl guides or swimming clubs because that would involve her aunt and uncle spending money on her. What a lonely year she was facing.

Harry opened the window and the owl flew in, dropped the paper on Hagrid then proceeded to attack his coat, which was partially draped over Emma.

"Eek!" she squealed and ran across the floor.

Harry chuckled lightly at his sisters antics.

"Hagrid! There's an owl."

"Pay him!" he mumbled.

"What?" asked Harry.

"He wants money for the paper, look in my pockets".

Emma, who was nearest, started rummaging through the coat, after searching through all sorts of items in his pocket she found a small purse with some coins in it.

"Giv' 'im five knuts."

"Knuts?" asked the Potter children

"The bronze uns!" replied Hagrid

Emma found five of the bronze coins and put them in the pouch on the owl's leg.
