Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of.

"This book just doesn't lose it's magic!" ------------------ Dislaimer!!!!!!!! Lots of the things in here are copied from the books, like the sorting hat song, and Dumbledore's speeches etc. Just to say, I don't own any of that, or the idea of Hogwarts. That all belongs to the one and only J K Rowling. But this is a work of fanfic so I feel like some copied stuff is to be expected.
