"I can't wait to tell my brother about this!" She told the person beside her, "he said I'd never get into gryffindor. Shame I won't get to see the look on his face.. could you pass the sprouts?"

Tucking into a chicken leg, she grinned at all the students around her, "my name is Emily!" She said with her mouth full.
