chapter 31.
The first day of classes was... Okay?
Emma and Ethan were seen hanging out together, and they got a few curious glances. Blaise, William aka Billy and Draco were still her best friends, but Ethan was just behind them.
Draco was still acting weird, today when Emma was with Ethan, she looked around only to lock her eyes with silvery blue ones.
They flicked between Emma and Ethan, and Emma saw pure pain and hate.
Harry also got a Grim in divination and for Emma, Professor Trawalney predicted that she will have a beautiful relationship, but her future won't be so bright.
***
The second day Emma went to Breakfast with her three best friends. She and William were closer every day.
Emma sat with the three. They heard giggles from Gryffindor table and saw Ginny blushing like crazy, probably talking about how Blaise, a third year Slytherin kissed the cheek of second-year Gryffindor, Ginny.
"Blaise." Emma called "Hmmm..." Blaise answered stuffing his face with various food.
"Did you like you dare yesterday?" she asked trying not to laugh, but Blaise just glared at her.
"Seriously, your dares are so childish. Grow up." Pansy pug face Parkinson sneered.
Emma glared at her "who invited you here anyway?" she asked, and Pansy smirked. "Oh. My boyfriend invited me." Pansy answered.
When Emma looked at her puzzled, Pansy smirked even more. "Didn't you hear? I'm Draco's girlfriend. And have been whole summer." Parkinson laughed.
Emma clenched her jaw, feeling some burning sensation, and aching in her chest.
She looked directly at Draco "I thought you could do better than her." she said.
Emma looked Draco directly in the eyes, sending one cold look before getting up. "Now if you will excuse me, I don't want to eat in presence of... Her" she nodded at Pansy, before leaving.
***
Emma now had a lesson with Hagrid, Care of Magical Creatures, with Gryffindors.
She made her way to Hagrid's hut before anyone else.
"Hello, Hagrid." She greeted.
" 'Ello Emma." Hagrid smiled.
"Excited?" he asked as she nodded.
"About what will we be learning?" asked Emma. Hagrid smiled "hippogriffs, I will bring Buckbeak to class."
Emma smiled. "Wow, I didn't see him in a while." Hagrid nodded.
There was a silence before Hagrid broke it. "Would you like to teach a class next time?" he asked.
Emma grinned "Of course. About what?" she asked, "Whatever you want." Hagrid said "Maybe wild wolves? I know you are in the pack with those." Emma smiled, and before she can reply, everyone started to show up.
They followed Hagrid in the forest, and when everyone stopped Hagrid went a little further.
She could hear Draco taunting Harry, but she didn't care.
When Hagrid was back, everyone was shocked, because he came with Hippogriff Buckbeak.
Emma smiled at Hippogriff as Hagrid asked if someone wants to come over. Emma raised her hand as everyone moved back except Harry.
"Ah, Emma I know you want to, but you already did so let Harry be first yeh?" Hagrid asked and Emma nodded with a smile.
Emma leaned on the tree, as Hagrid gave instructions to Harry.
Buckbeak wasn't interested in Harry, he was more focused on Emma.
Harry bowed but instead of bowing back Buckbeak make his way to Emma and looked in her eyes.
Everyone was holding their breath as Hippogriff bowed in front of Emma, and she bowed back. He kneeled in front of her, like asking her for a ride.
Emma looked at Hagrid asking for permission, and when Hagrid nodded Emma climbed up the Hippogriff and she went to Hagrid.
"Don't call him back. I think he wants to show me something." Emma whispered In Hagrid's ear and he nodded before Buckbeak lifted from the ground and flown away.
***
Buckbeak took Emma to a weird place in the forest. It was dark, but she could see the stone staircase leading to light.
When Buckbeak landed Emma jumped down.
She started in awe at sight in front of her.
It was beautiful.
She looked at Buckbeak and he nodded toward the light. Emma slowly made her way upwards.
When she finally arrived, she couldn't see anything, because it was to light.
When her eyes got used to it she put her hand through the hole and saw the beautiful sight in front of her.
She saw a lake with lots of fishes in it, and they greeted her kindly, there was a big rock with beautiful flowers around it. There were also a few trees with squirrels and rabbits that fly, and a sky with birds, happily singing.
It was so... Peaceful.
But she didn't know why Buckbeak took her here. Her thoughts were interrupted by a roar.
Her head snapped in direction of the sound to see a large lion with wings in front of her.
In shock, she walked backwards, in the process falling from the rock that was behind her.
The lion came to her and lifted her up with his teeth.
"I'm assuming you are Princess Emma, am I correct?" Lion asked. Emma nodded her head.
"My name is Leo," he said bowing his head slightly. (A/N I considered naming him Rumbleroar, but I didn't ;))
"Nice to meet you?"
Lion nodded, and continued "Do you know why you are here?" Lion asked. Emma thought for a little but shook her head.
"I am assuming you know what will happen in your fourth year?" Emma nodded.
Leo was quite for a little while before he continued.
"You should train hard. You don't know what is waiting for you in the future." He said as he circled her "Not only Wendigos, but a war is coming."
"W-war?" Repeated Emma.
Leo nodded "It will be most difficult war in history. You will meet your father-"
"My father?" Emma rudely interrupted "You know who it is?" Leo nodded "Then tell me!" Emma screeched.
Beast sighed "You will know when the time comes"
They were silent before Emma said, "You said something about the war?"
Leo nodded "Yes. War against good and evil, " he paused " war against Harry and Voldemort."
"Voldemort?" Emma suddenly asked "But he is dead, Harry killed him I saw it-" "He has ways to return, and he will most definitely use it." Leo interrupted.
Emma palled visibly. "You may go now, I just wanted to see you in person, and I believe you have your lesson." Emma nodded, but he didn't see it. He was already gone.
Emma walked back to Buckbeak. 'Why do these things always happen to me?' she tough, before she sat on Hippogriff and went back to her class.
Everyone cheered, but she didn't hear it. She was deep in thoughts.
"Emma are you okay?" Asked Hagrid and Emma nodded.
"Okay class, we will continue. I believe it is Harry's time-" Hagrid talked, but Emma zoomed out a long time ago.
Will Voldemort really return? Who is my father? When will this be over? Those questions didn't leave her head.
She didn't pay any attention until she saw Buckbeak standing on two legs before Draco.
She heard a loud scream, defiantly from Pansy, and she immediately came to the front.
Hagrid was too far to come and calm Buckbeak down, so she had to take measures to her own hands.
She jumped in front of Draco right when beast wanted to scratch him even more.
"No, stop!" Was all she had to say for Buckbeak to calm down. He was calm when Hagrid finally arrived, he was talking something to Buckbeak, but Emma turned around to suspect Draco's arm. She pulled off his robe and looked at his arm.
It was a little deeper, but he wasn't going to die. "it's just a scratch, but we need to take him to Madam Pomfrey to look at it." Emma said to Hagrid, Blaise and Billy came near Draco too.
"I'm a teacher I'll take him. Class dismissed!" said Hagrid taking Draco's body.
Blaise, Emma and William going behind Hagrid, trying to keep up with his big steps.
