Emily just had her fourth schoolyear at Hogwarts School behind her and was now sitting alone, like in all the past summer holidays at Spinner's End. She hated this area, because it was so dark and because she thought summer holidays were boring anyway this neighbourhood didn't make it much better!
She was sitting in her room at the window and thought about the past schoolyear: Voldemort has returned during the Triwizard Tournament, where Harry Potter had taken part unwillingly and Cedric Diggory died during the last task.
She was thinking about these things as an owl fluttered through the window and dropped a letter in her lap. It was from Harry!
Hi Emily!
How are you?
I hope you're fine...I'm so bored and I don't know anything about what's going on in the wizarding world an in the Daily Prophet is no single word about Voldemort!
Can you give me any information?
I hope to see you soon
best wishes
Harry
Emily picked up her quill immediately to write an answer:
Dear Harry,
I'm fine, thanks!
I hope you're fine, too! I'm bored, too.
It's a pitty, but I don't know more than you do. I'm sorry.
best wishes
Emily
She gave Hedwig an owlcookie and sent her back to Harry with the letter. That she didn't know more than Harry wasn't really the truth, she really didn't know anything about the plans of the Order, because her father says that it was none of her business, because she alreday asked him more than once. But about the Prophet she could have wrote something to Harry, because it denied the return of You-Know-Who and made fun about each who claimed this, especially about Harry and Dumbledore!
But because she promised Dumbledore that she wouldn't tell Harry any of this she couldn't write it to him. She looked out of the window and watched the sunset, who tinctured the sky red-orange. That was rare in Spinner's End. Outside on the stairs she heard footsteps and one moment later her father came into the room. "Dinner is ready.", was the only thing he said. Emily just nodded and followed him down the stairs.
The kitchen was very gloomy and you couldn't see the sun here anymore. Dinner passed by like it always did: silent.
Emily asked: " Dad, do you want to play wizard chess later?"
"Yes, I'd like to."
And so the conversation was already over.
After Dinner Emily made the dish washing and then she went into the living room, where Severus was already waiting. Snape beated many of her pawns, whereat she she discomposed a lot, what here father found very amusing. She didn't had a chance against him, but Ron Weasley was a beatable opponent.
When they put away the pawns Severus said: " I have to do a lot for the Order in the next few days and I can't leave you here alone, that's why I'll bring you to the headquater of the Order for the rest of the holidays. You will go to Kings Cross from there, what means that you have to pack all your things you need!"
"OK. When are we going?", Emily asked surprised.
"Tomorrow we'll go into Diagon Alley to buy your books and all the other things you need and the day after tomorrow I'll bring you there."
"OK. Then I'll start to pack my things now."
And she got up the stairs into her room and began to pack clothes, books, potions ingrediants, quills and rolls of pargement.
