Black And Green

Eleven

E m i l y

My back started aching so I opened my eyes almost going blind by the bright light. I noticed that I was still in the bathroom and it was pretty dark outside. I stood up and looked all over the mess I have made. They were stains on the floor and I took a towel to clean that up drafty. I went to my room and saw the date on the wall.

3rd of January

I couldn't be more excited. That was probably the best thing that happened to me these days.

But the problem is, how I was going to get at Hogwarts? I clearly didn't want to see my dad but I didn't know what to do.

I had an idea and it was probably the best way to act.

I took my suitcase and put all of my clothes inside, more than the usual. Almost all of my wardrobe clothes' was gone and I placed another old suitcase on my bed to put my other stuff inside like my books and personal stuff.

If anyone saw me right now, he would thought I was running away.

I took a paper and pen and wrote down "I am on the train stastion"

After placing it softly on the bed I got dressed and headed downstairs, holding my breath from my anxiety if anyone catches me. I looked at the kitchen's window and the sky was transforming into a lighter color, so it must had been around six in the morning.

"Going somewhere?" I heard a noise and jumped holding my heart.

I turned around and saw Harry sitting on the couch. Seeing him, all the feelings I had for him started waking up and they were not good.

"What do you want?" I crossed my arms and looked at him carefully.

"I am not letting you leave" he said sure and I rolled my eyes.

"Back off. Don't make me hate you even more" I hissed and passed him hitting his shoulder. He grabbed my arm and pushed me back.

"Leave me!" I said and threw his hand away. I took my wand out and pointed it at him.

"Really? Are you going to take it that far?" he asked confused. He wasn't scared though, because he knew I wouldn't hurt him.

"Try me" I lied and he rolled his eyes. With my wand still staring at him I moved to the wooden drawer that my dad keeps some coins and I opened it fast.

"Emily what are you doing? Stop!" He tried to reach me but I tended my hand with the wand so he took a step back.

"You think I have other choice?" I yelled and stuffed the money in my pocket. They were enough thankfully.

"There is always another choice" he said and I shook my head.

"Only for the good people, Harry. I am not one of them" I explained and put my wand back in my pocket.

"You are a very good person Emily. You just have to believe it. Don't leave" he almost begged me and for a moment, I almost believed him. But that tought flew away quickly.

"Let me go Harry. Please" I looked him straight in the eyes and his hand was sliding away from mine.

"Good luck, I guess" he sighed and stepped back.

"Goodbye.. " was the only thing I said before almost running at the door. I took the cold handle in my hands and twisted it carefully, not making any noise.

I looked back for the last time and Harry wasn't there. I took a good last look on my house and closed the door. Now, it's up to me to learn to leave alone.

I knew that the bus station was a ten minutes walking road, so I was heading over there. The cold morning air was hitting my face, making my teeth triggering and my nose cold.

"Goodmorning young lady" an old lady told me at the bus station.

"Goodmorning" I answered, even though it was probably the worst morning I ever had.

I noticed that she was staring at my suitcase, which had the Hogwarts logo on it. She was confused, so I guess she was just a Muggle but then she said, "Are you a Slytherin?", leaving me surprised.

"Are you a wizard?" I asked surprised and she nodded giggling.

"Yes, I am. So are you" and then I felt a little comfortable around her and I relaxed my body. I didn't realized how tensioned I was.

"I am a Gryffindor" I answered to her previous question and her eyes shined.

"Really? I was a Gryffindor too!" she answered happy and I laughed a little with her reaction.

"Did you just ran away?", I looked at her confused. How did she know?

"Uhm no. I am just early for the train station" I lied and she shook her head.

"I know that you are lying, but that's fine. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to" I exhaled when she didn't insisted and smirked relieved.

"But, something is over your mind right? You have seconds thoughts about something I can feel it" her big grey eyes were staring at my face trying to read me.

"Actually, uhm there is something yes. But I don't know if you are, with no offense of course, the right person to talk it about" I explained and she laughed.

"Thats rubbish! Of course I am! Because, believe it or not I know what your problem is" she said proud of her self and I raised an eyebrow on her.

"You do?" I asked, enjoying this and she nodded.

"You, my dear have doubts" she announced cutting my smile off.

"Wha-what doubts?" I asked trembling. There is no way she knew, I have never told anyone about this. She slided a little closer to me and put my hands in hers. Suddenly a warm wave took all over my body.

"You are worried that you have been put in the wrong house" she said and my breath stopped for a second. Okay, now she really started freaking me out.

"How did you-" I was going to ask but she cut me off.

"Sh. I just know. It's a gift" she explained and I nodded. I was unable to speak.

"You feel that you could do better in Slytherin. Or actually, that Slytherin is the best for you. Am I right?" her eyes were scanning me and she was saying these words like she was reading me like an open book.

"Yes. You are right" I sighed and leaned back on the awkward station chair.

"Believe it or not, I was at the exact same position as you" she said placing her hands on her laps.

"Really?" I asked confused.

"Yes, actually. At my fourth year at Hogwarts" she looked away, like she was remembering something. A memory.

"But something happened and I realized that I was a Gryffindor. I can't tell you what, you have to find it for yourself. I am sure the same will happen to you" she said after a few moments making me wondering what her words meant.

"What do you mean?" I questioned but she stood up without answering.

"Your bus has arrived" she announced an I looked at the road. The bus was going to stop in front of me in a few seconds.

"Okay but-" I turned to say to her but she was gone. I looked around horrified but there was no sign of this woman, like she never existed.
