Emma Melody Vane: Harry Potter Fanfic

Halloween Troll

Emma's POV

We've been here eight and half weeks since school started. And classes are going well. Hermione had a run in with a three headed dog. She told me how she followed Harry and Ron late one night. They were having a midnight duel with Malfoy. Who never showed. Instead they had to hide from Filch and his cat, that's how they ran into the dog. It nearly killed them. Hermione and I have been brain storming about what it's guarding during our study sessions.

Anyway, like I said classes are going well. I am doing well keeping up and Fay is helping me a lot with Potions. Draco has not annoyed me since the first day. Today we're doing the levitation charm in Charms. It's also Halloween. If I was home, I'd be going trick or treating with Romilda and our mother. I got a package of sweets from them. This morning I woke to the delicious smell of baking pumpkin wafting through the corridors.

Today I am working with Harry while Hermione works with Ron. I feel the feather in front of me and smile. "Now, don't forget that nice wrist movement we've been practicing" Professor Flitwick squeaks. "Swish and flick, remember, swish and flick. And saying the magic words properly is very important, too -- never forget Wizard Baruffio, who said 's' instead of 'f' and found himself on the floor with a buffalo on his chest" he explains.

I hold my wand and point it at the feather. Letting the feather go. "Wingardium Leviosa" I say swishing my wrist.

"Emma, it's swish and flick. Not just swish" Harry tells me.

"Oh, opps" I say with a little laugh. "Thank you Harry, I heard you made the team" I say in a whisper. "Congrats, I read your the youngest player in the century" I state.

"Yeah, I am" he says sheepishly.

"I used to love flying, I always dreamed of being a chaser for my house team. But now that'll never happen" I tell him sadly.

"Maybe I could give you a ride on my Nimbus sometime" he suggests.

"You'd really do that?" I ask him surprised.

"Of course, everyone deserves to do the thing they enjoy. I'll just ask Oliver for permission and some pointers on flying a broom with two people" he states.

"Thank you Harry, that means a lot to me" I tell him smiling.

"Wingardium Leviosar" I hear a boy shout and frown. He's saying it wrong.

"You're saying it wrong" Hermione tells the boy. So it must be Ron. "It's Levi O Sa, not Levi O Sar" she corrects him.

"She's right" I agree.

"You both do it then, if you're so clever" Ron snaps.

"Remember swish and flick" Harry tells me & I smile. I find my feather and point my wand at it.

"Wingardium Leviosa" I say swishing and flicking my wrist.

"Oh, well done!" Flitwick cheers clapping his hands. "Everyone see here Miss Vane and Miss Granger's done it" he states. "Take ten points each for Gryffindor" he tells us.

"Well done Emma, knew you could do it" Harry tells me and I blush.

"Couldn't of done it without you" I tell him. Class soon ends and it's time DADA. We were heading there as I walk beside Hermione. When we hear Ron ranting.

"She's a nightmare, honestly" he rants. "It's no wonder she has no friends" he states. I frown, how dear he talk about Hermione that way. I feel Hermione leave my side.

"I think she heard you" Harry says.

"We both did, how dear you Ronald. She's my friend and I don't need to see to hex you" I tell him threateningly. "Next time you see her, you had better apologize or else" I sneer. "Coal find Hermione" I say and Coal leads me away from them. He leads me to a bathroom and we enter it. "Hermione, it's Emma" I say.
