1Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling has that blessing. I only own Emma. The plot is also mine. Hopefully it is original.

AN: this is my first fanfict, so please be nice.

Normal POV:

A young girl around the age of seventeen walked onto the platform 9 3/4. She was about 5"3', and was wearing an oversized cloak, that hid her figure. Her hair was pulled back in a messy ponytail, but if it was left free, it would reach her waist in soft ringlets. But, the thing that was most noticeable were her large, brown eyes. And to further draw you in, they held only sadness, tiredness, and great amounts of pain. She immediately headed onto the scarlet train, without seeking out any of her friends. As she reached the head of the train, she found the compartment that she was looking for, closed the door, and then laid down and fell asleep. Her face never relaxing from her saddened state.

Hermione POV:

"Come on" I heard as small, terrified voice whimpered to me "Mione, wake up!"the little voice persisted.

I was shaken awake about 2 hours into the train ride, by my little sister.

Emma is almost 3 years old and most of the time, she never really talks to any one besides me. She is small for her age, and was easily hidden beneath my cloak when boarding the train. But the thing that stuck out the most, is that she is very smart, and also well-spoken. She has long, shoulder length straight hair, something that is the exact opposite of mine, and sparkling blue eyes, which is also different from mine.

"What's wrong, sweetie?" I asked, as I opened my eyes and saw her staring up at me from my stomach, where she fell asleep.

But before she could say anything, someone cleared there throat. I tensed and covered Emma with my cloak.

"Too late, Granger, I already saw." came Malfoy's voice as I sat up and kept Emma under my cloak. "And so my question is, who is she?"

"What do you mean"I said, trying to play dumb.

"Come on now, give me more credit than that. I know that your not that stupid, and I am as smart as they come. So I ask my question again, who is she." Malfoy said, as he turned from the window and looked at me.

"She's my sister" I said, after about a 3 minute pause, debating whether or not I should say anything .

"Well, most siblings stay at home until there old enough to come to Hogwarts." he said, as if he were speaking to a five years old child.

"Really, thanks for the information." I said, and turned away from him, for Emma just crawled out of my cloak and onto the bench next to me.

She stood up on the bench, grabbed my arm, so the she was able to whisper into my ear.

"Mione, im hungry" she said, and then sat back down, calling crookshanks onto her lap.

"Alright," I said and got up and opened my trunk and grabbed her some fruit and vegetables. "Here you go, sweetie"

"So why is she here?" Malfoy asked, as soon as Emma was happy and eating away at her food

"I had to bring her," I said, "my parents are unable to care for her, and all of my relatives are goldiggers. They are not worth anything, and especially do not deserve Emma" I told him, more to myself than him.

But before he could further question me, the door opened, and professor McGonagall stepped into the room, and sat down in a chair that was present

"Congratulations you too, you were picked as...this....years....."she said, starting to stumble over her words. "Would someone care to explain why there is a child on this train, as we are heading to Hogwarts. Children under eleven are not allowed."

"I had to bring her" I said, and left it at that.

"Well, Miss Granger, I am very disappointed in you. I thought that you would surely be responsible in you actions." Professor McGonagall said, her stern face looking even more so.

"She's not mine, if that is where your getting at." I told her, a little upset that she would think that about me. "She's my sister."

"She cannot stay at the school. Once we reach the school, you are to immediately report to the headmaster. Do you understand?" she said, and if looks could kill, I would be non-existent. "You will get you duties that all head students must preform from Professor Dumbledore. Good day to you." she said, and then left.

"Mione, she was mean" Emma said, as she crawled onto my lap, pulling crookshanks along with her.

"I would have to agree," Malfoy said as he was watching the scene that just happened. "Even Snape would not jump to conclusions."

"Yeah, well, I guess she does not have a high enough respect for me.' I said, and then laid down for a bit, ending the conversation.

About a half an hour later, I sat up and placed Emma, who was still playing with crookshanks, on the bench and stood up.

"Malfoy, I would really appreciate it if you could watch Emma, while I change into my robes." I asked him, as he had already changed and was just sitting there, watching the vast greenness outside past by him.

"Sure, whatever." came his reply.

"Now, Emma, you stay here, and be nice. Can you do that for me?"I asked, as I kneeled down to her level, so that I could look in to her eyes.

"Yes, I will." she said, then gave me a quick kiss on the cheek, and I turned around and left.

I headed straight to the washrooms, where I changed out of my clothes and into my uniform and robes. As I was leaving, I saw the lady that goes around on the food cart, and I stopped and got Emma a few chocolate frogs, as well as some every flavor beans for myself. As I made my way back to the heads compartments, I heard laughing coming from within. As I opened the door a bit, I saw that Malfoy had a moving stuffed animal in the form of a dragon.

"My mum gave him to me when I was two. She gave him to me after the first time my father hit me. She said that even though she could not show it, she loved me no matter what. I never really did get to know her. All I know was that she loved me, and that she would do anything for me. It seems that I really was her downfall." he said, saying the last part to himself more then to Emma.

"Now, you can keep Montgomery, but only if you promise to take care of him." Malfoy said, as he looked her straight into the eyes.

"I promise," Emma said.

"Good," he told her "because he's not just any stuffed animal that they have in the muggle world, he's unique. If you rub his tummy, he will come to life." He stated proudly.

"Really," Emma said, a look of joy in her usually sad eyes. "Can you show me?"

"Yeah, but why don't you do it. Go ahead, rub his tummy." Malfoy said, as he leaned back onto his bench.

She proceeded to do so, and s few minutes later, the compartment was filled with her giggles again.

It was then that I made my presence known, and walked through the door.

"Well, Emma, what's so funny?"I asked, as I sat next to her, and gave her my full attention.

"Look at what Draco gave me. His names Montgomery." she said, as the little stuffed dragon was walking around on the floor, occasionally blowing little puffs of smoke through his nose.

"Isn't that nice, and what do you say to him?"I asked her

"Thank-you, Draco." she said, and ran over to him, and gave him a hug.

At first, he tensed up, and the look on his face gave away that he was not use to this kind of human contact. But after Emma would not let go, he slowly wrapped his arms around her, and engulfed her in a hug.

And after that, seeing the ice cold Slytherin prince show a little emotion, and no less to my muggle born little sister, I did not see Malfoy anymore, I saw Draco. A young man that was not really allowed to show feelings, the young man that was scared, and also held a lot of pain in his eyes, and in his heart.

"Your welcome, Emma." he said, as he let her go, and she went onto the floor, and played with the moving creature.

"Thanks, Draco. She really has not laughed much over the break, much less smiled." I told him, as I looked into his eyes.

For the first time, I realized that his eyes also held tiredness. Like he had not slept properly for a long time. The bag under his eyes also gave it away.

"When was the last time that you got any sleep?" I asked

"That does not concern you." That was all he said, and then he turned away from me, and stared out into the vast greenness of Scotland again.

The rest of the ride went by, and in no time, we arrived at the gates of Hogwarts.

"Come on, Emma, were leaving now" I said, as I put crookshanks back into his carrier, with a little biting and scratching. I left him and my trunk on the train, seeing as how the house elves were probably gonna get them. Not that I approved of it, I had just realized that they were happy at what they did. And even I could not change that.

As soon as we were off of the train, I picked Emma up, and carried her onto the carriages.

"Mione....Mione," I heard my name being screamed before I could get into the Heads carriage. "Wait up!"

I turned around and saw Harry and Ron running after me.

We've been looking all over the place for you. Where....have you...been," Harry said, as he started to studder. "Mione, who's this?" he said, looking at Emma.

"This, is my little sister, Emma." I told the both of them, as she buried her head into my shoulder. "She does not really like to meet new people."

"OK, but why is she here, she not allowed." stated Ron, as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Yes, I know that, but she's here, and that's all that matters to me." I told them.

"Yeah, but ...." he started

"Why don't you go and scrounge for some money, Weasel?" Malfoy sneered from behind the two Boys.

"Shut it, Mal-ferret," Ron said, "Why don't you go and run to daddy to buy you some 'friends'".

"Yes, well, if my father did have to buy me friends, at least he would be able to afford it." Malfoy said, as he started to walk past me, into the carriage.

"Draco!", Emma squealed, as she wiggled out of my arms, and ran towards Draco.

He turned around at his name being called, and was soon bombarded by Emma, and her small frame. He gathered her in his arms, and picked her up. Then he left, and entered the carriage. All the while, Emma talking excitedly.

As I turned back to Ron and Harry, the looks on there faces was of fury, and disbelief.

"You just let them go.... you let the death eater go..... into the carriage..... with you sister... Your younger sister"

Harry said, as he was finally able to string words together.

"Yes, I did." I told them, as I stood there, waiting till I could leave. "I'll see you later. The feast is gonna stat soon."

Before they could say anything, I left them there, and entered the carriage, to see Emma telling Draco about the time that she was at the zoo, and the monkey pooped.

"Wow, that's absolutely.....disgusting." Draco said, as he was listing to her like it was the most important conversation he ever had.

"What's a monkey?" Draco mouthed to me, as soon as Emma turned around to tie her shoe.

"It's a animal in the muggle world." I told him, as Emma turned back around.

"Mione, I'm hungry." she said, as the carriage came to a stop.

"Well, we'll be able to eat soon." I said, as I hopped off of the carriage, and turned to grab her. But before I could help her down, Draco appeared from the other side, carrying a laughing, and happy Emma.

"Is that a smile I see on your face, Draco?" I asked as he was smiling at the happy Emma. "Now, I do believe that will ruin your image, and carrying a child too. Are you trying to change your image to a sissy boy?" I asked, with a hint of amusement in my voice, making sure he knew I was just joking.

He changed the smile on his face, into his famous smirk, and came closer to me and whispered into my ear, "yes, well, a child can attract the girls, watch."

And then he walked into the crowded steps of the school, and I followed close behind him. As soon as he walked by, girls turned there head, and all cooed at Emma.

"See." was all he said, as we walked to the headmasters office. "Cherry jollyranchers" he said, and the entrance sprang apart. Emma let out a squeal of joy, and clapped her hands in happiness.

"Mione, did you see that?" she said, as we went to the revolving staircase and climbed aboard.

"Yeah, come here." I said, as I took her from Draco's arms.

Before we could knock, Dumbledore answered and beckoned us in. "Ah, yes, I was expecting you." he said, as he pointed to two chair in front of his desk. "Well lets start with your Head duties. You are required to arrange meetings with the Perfects once a month. As well as post a watch, which you will have to be in for at least 3 times a week. Also, you have to plan the Halloween feast, as well as the Christmas ball. The Perfects are also required to help. You will have to share a dorm room, as well as get along, and help with inter house relationships. I choose you two, because not only are you both the smartest in your class, but because I know that you can work out your differences and help students forget about blood ties.

Now that is done, I believe that we have something to discuss." he said, with a twinkle in his eye.

"Can she stay?" I said, cutting to the point, not really seeing a reason to delay this conversation.

"Yes, but only because I know what happened over the summer, I will allow her to stay. That is only if Mr. Malfoy does not object," he said, smiling at Emma, and her having a rare smile come across her face.

As I looked at Draco, I saw that he was nodding his head, allowing Emma to stay.

"All right, now go two are free to go to the feast, and I'll see you down there." he said, and then left.

"Come on, Emma, lets go and eat." I told her, as I stood up and went to the door, Draco right behind us.

"Draco, are you gonna sit with us?" she asked, in her small voice.

"No, I can't, but I will see you after wards, in the commons room, alright?" he said, looking Emma in the eyes.

"Ok," she said, and ran down the stairs, and waited at the bottom, not knowing where to go.

"I'll see you later.' I said, and then ran after Emma, and into the Great Hall. With Dumbledore already present, professor McGonnall was standing with the sorting hat on the stool, singing its song.

We slipped in unnoticed, and I took a seat next to Harry, with Emma between us. As soon as the sorting was over, we ended up with 5 new Gryffindor's, Hufflepuff had 6, Ravenclaw had 3 and Slytherin had 4.

After all the cheering had calmed down, Dumbledore stood up, and everybody turned there attention turned to him, but with the Slytherins grumbling.

"Welcome back to a new school year, and congratulation to all the new students. The Forbidden forest is forbidden, and students caught in there, will serve detentions with Mr. Filch. Now, your Heads are... Hermione Granger." all the tables broke out in applauds, except the Slytherins, "and Draco Malfoy." he finished as soon as the shouts of joy decreased a bit. As soon as he said that, the Slytherins broke out in a great roar, drowning out every other noises.

"Mione, look at all the stars, and look, there moving!" she said, as she was pointing up at the enchanted ceiling.

"I know, now, what do you want to eat?" I asked, as I saw the table fill with food.

"Did you see that?" she said, as she saw the food come out of nowhere.

"Yeah, what do you want?" I asked her again.

"I want some.....turkey. And potatoes."

"All right." I said, and placed some food on her plate.

"Um...Hermione." Lavender said, as she saw Emma.

"Yeah," I said, as I was cutting up the food on Emma' plate.

"Is that your sister?" she questioned, as though Emma was a bug.

"Yeah." was all I said and then I gathered food onto my plate.

After that, no one said anything, and if they were thinking about it, I gave them a look that clearly said ' don't ask anything'.

"Everyone, please listen up." Professor Dumbledore said. One he had every bodies attention, he continued.

"Please proceed to your common rooms, follow your Prefects. If the Heads will meet me up here, all is dismissed" and with that, he swept out of the room, into the one that joins of to the side of the Great Hall.

"Come on, Emma, its time to sleep." and with that, I carried the sleeping baby up to the room off of the side.

"O-tay," she said, as her speech turned into one of a babies.

After we met with Dumbledore, he lead us to a portrait on the fourth floor. The painting was that of a Snake, and a Lion. They were curled around each other very protective of one another.

"Now, your password is 'Blue koala', and good night to the two of you." and with that, he turned and left.

"Blue Koala" Draco, and the portrait opened up, and it lead into a beautiful common room.

The walls were stone, with tapestries hanging down every where possible. On one side of the common room, there was a grand fireplace, with two sets of book shelves on both sides, covered with huge tomes. In front of the fireplace was two couches, the colour of emerald green. There are also two chairs, deep colours of crimson. On the other side of the room, there is a staircase, that led up to three doors Pushed up against that wall, there are two desks and chairs..I climbed the stairs, and entered that has my name engraved in it. I also saw that Emma had her name inscribed in the door below mine.

As I opened the door, I was amazed at how beautiful it was. There was a king size bed pushed up against one side of the room7. It has deep, rich purples as hangings, and lavender colour cotton sheets. There was a vanity next to the bed, already had my stuff unpacked on it. There was a large wardrobe across the room, with a smaller bed. The colour was of dark pink, and soft pink, cotton sheets. On the wall that also contained my door, there was a great fireplace also, lite to keep the night chill away. And across from it, there was a big set of french doors, leading out to a huge balcony, overlooking the lake, where the squid was lazily floating around. The wall that contained my bed, also had a door, which led to the biggest bathroom that I had ever saw. There were two big sinks, the color of a green marble, and gold faucets. There was a door which lead to the toilet, which created a bit of privacy, and a huge shower stall. There was a huge bathtub, that looked more like a swimming pool, which had a bunch of faucets, all containing different bubbles and scents.

Out of one of the dressers, which was against the wall with her bed, I grabbed a pair of Emma's pajamas, and changed her for bed, remembering to us a diaper when she's asleep. As soon as I put her down, she was dead to the world. She looked so calm, as though she knew she would be safe.

I changed onto a pair of pajama pants, and a tank top. As I was putting my robe on, I was descending the stairs, to look through the books in our bookcases.

As I was searching for a good book, Draco came down the stairs and sat on one of the couches.

"So, since I have yet to know the real reason, why is your sister here." He said, as I was still looking for a book.

"Please, don't ask me about that." I said, "I have yet to tell anyone else, and its not only too fresh in my mind, but is too hard to talk about." and with that, I continued looking for a book.

"But, now that you mentioned it, why are you being so nice to her, I mean, she is a mudblood, after all." I said, and as I said mudblood, I saw that he flinched a little.

"Yeah, well, over the last few years, I grew up." he said, his tired eyes showing no emotion at all.

"That doesn't answer my question. Why are you being nice to her, and even to me?"

"Well, that's a story for another day." Draco said, and then he left the common room, for his.

As I found a book on the history of Charms, that I haven't read already, I went back up the stair to my room, and found Emma still asleep, and still on her bed, for it is her first time out of a bed without side supports.

I crawled into bed, planning on reading my book, but as soon as my head hit the pillow, I was asleep.

A/N: please review, just so I know if I should continue or not. Thanks.
