Jamie and Draco had gone straight to Alicia once the welcome feast had finished, explaining everything that had happened, including her making the prophecy.

Alicia remained silent, sitting with her arms wrapped round her legs as she stared at the empty bed opposite her, still fully clothed. No matter how much she tried to deny it, she was sick with worry about Emily. She had tried to get a reading on Emily’s mind but there was something that resembled a brick wall in the way. Alicia sighed and crawled off her bed. She rummaged through her trunk for a second before pulling out a small, intricately carved box.

It was made out of mahogany, depicting a Forest clearing with Centaurs surrounding a burning fire along the four sides and lid. She opened the clasp and cracked the box open, where a collection of flowers lay hidden. She sat the box down on her bedside table and returned to her trunk, searching again. She pulled out a box made out of White Onyx with the word Emily in silver inlaid into the lid. She then knelt down and tipped the flowers, which had been charmed to never wither, onto the floor.

Lavender for protection,” Alicia whispered as she moved the flower into the stone box. “Please let this work...” She pleaded as she lit a match and dropped it into the box, igniting the flower. She stood up again, the stone box in her hands, which she placed in the center of Emily’s bed. She knew that Lavender was used in most protection potions and the Centaurs burned it for the protection it carried and she hoped that she could protect Emily, wherever she may be.

The next morning, Alicia left the dormitory without looking at Emily’s bed, where the curtains were now drawn. She headed down to breakfast and found Jamie and Draco sitting at the end of the table, playing with their food. She joined them, not breaking the silence that engulfed the small group. The only distraction was when a black barn owl landed in front of Alicia, knocking over a jug of pumpkin juice.

Who’s owl is that?” Jamie asked, a frown on his face as Alicia detached the small envelope.

I have no idea... It’s addressed to the three of us,” she said, staring down at the mismatched letters that created their names. “I have a bad feeling about this- it reminds me of the letters Muggles get when someone wants to blackmail them...” She handed the letter to Jamie, who slit it open and read the handwritten letter out loud.

Alicia, the last member of the Daniels family,

Hiding the last of your family hasn’t stopped us from completing our mission, Mudblood. Think yourself lucky you are at Hogwarts, where we cannot reach you. Do not stray out of the school grounds, for we will be waiting for you.

Jamie Starlight,

We know who you are, and who your family is. The biggest family of Blood-Traitors. Do not stray out of the school grounds, for we will be waiting for you. Pray that we leave your family alone.

Draco Malfoy,

Heed the same warning as your friends. Do not stray out of the school grounds, for we will be waiting for you. You have a price to pay for disowning your family for a werewolf, a Mudblood, a Blood-Traitor, and an orphan. Make sure you find your orphan before we find her.

Remember our warnings; we have been watching you and we will continue to watch you. Keep an eye on your future, Mudblood, the Dark Lord will have you join us.


Alicia’s hair was a sickly green color as she stared at the letter that Jamie dropped as if it were poisonous. Draco’s mouth was hanging open in shock. The three of them sat, unmoving until the entire school had left the Hall and Professor McGonagall had come marching down the aisle towards them.

Come along, you three- you’ll be late for your classes, chop, chop,” she ordered and Alicia picked up the letter and handed it to her. Professor McGonagall’s eyes flashed across the page as she read the threats from the Death Eaters.

They got to Alice, Edward and Jasper... But what about the others at the Burrow? Emily’s ran away and I can’t get a reading on her... What does that mean?” Alicia said, a hard edge to her voice.

Emily could barely sleep at all that night. Back home, she always had to sleep with Draco for her to actually have a night of sleep. But here, where she was completely alone except for her owl, there would be no way she could sleep. At one point, she just gave up on sleeping and grabbed a book from her trunk.

She really hadn’t thought this running away thing through. She hadn’t gotten dinner, because she didn’t go to school, and her stomach was already groaning in protest. She decided that in the morning, she’d use a few charms and change her appearance and then go into the village to buy food and juice to feed her hunger.

Bluejeans hooted his annoyance of her lightened wand tip, so she put it out, sighing. She wished they could all go back to a few years earlier when things were so much simpler. But that wasn’t possible. Voldemort was growing stronger by the minute. Her best friend turned her back on her and she just dumped one of the only men she’s ever loved. She had run away and she felt completely and utterly alone. Emily started crying again as she tried to push them all out of her mind. She couldn’t think about them, wouldn’t think about them, anymore. They were a void in her life and it seems that they would be staying that way.

***

“Has she contacted you?” he asked in exasperation as Tonks came through the door. He had sent a Patronus to her, Kingsley, Dumbledore, the Weasleys, and Sophie and Sean to keep a look out for Emily. Remus was in panic mode at the moment as Tonks shook her head. She grabbed his arm and led him to the couch in the living room.

“I’m sure she’s fine, Remus… We just need to stay calm,” Tonks said quietly.

“Stay calm? How am I supposed to stay calm, Dora? What the bloody hell was she thinking, running away like that? Does she have any idea how many people want her dead right now?” he shouted and Tonks flinched.

“Yes, and I’m sure she’s put up protection charms… She’s a smart witch, Remus, I’m positive she’s safe.”

“Then why hasn’t she replied to my Patronus? What if something happened to her? What if Bellatrix has found her and is torturing her right now?” he shouted as he paced the length of the room.

“Damn it, Sirius! This is your fault! If you hadn’t gone to that bloody fight and died, none of this would have happened!” he shouted as he started pounding the walls with his fist. Some of the picture frames rattled while others clattered to the floor, the glass breaking into millions of pieces. Tonks crossed the room to Remus, grabbing his arms and pulling him to face her.

“We’ll find her, Remus, I promise you that,” she whispered as a tear leaked out of her eye. He dropped his head to her shoulder as he hugged her tightly.

“Thanks, Dora,” he whispered. “Would you come with me so I can check on a few places she might be? Or do you have to get back to the school?”

“I’m sure they can manage without me for a bit. Where to first?” Tonks asked as she grabbed her wand from her pocket and made her way to the door, him tailing her.

***

“Okay, Blue, I’m relieving you of keeping me company,” Emily told her owl as she grabbed her money pouch and cloak. “I’m off to get some food; don’t worry, I’ll pick you up some treats too. You can have the day off, but would you mind coming back for the night?” she whispered as she pet him. He hooted twice and then flew off, no doubt to see Hedwig and America.

Emily placed herself in front of the dirty, old mirror and started morphing her appearance to something completely unnoticeable. After that, she grabbed her broom and flew off toward the village. She made sure to buy some chips and then a Butterbeer or two. She figured she could always go back later when she was in the mood to buy supplies. After she bought some special treats for Bluejeans, she made her way into the Three Broomsticks. She had a while until nightfall, and since she was disguised, she didn’t see how it could do much harm.

And then she saw the couple seated at the bar. Sophie and Sean. She panicked slightly before remembering that she didn’t look like Emily Black anymore, so she had nothing to worry about. Donning a French accent, she ordered a bottle of Firewhiskey and waited.

They glanced at her curiously before turning back to Rosmerta. “Well, if you see her, will you let us, Dumbledore, or Remus know?” Sophie asked sadly.

“Yes, of course… I’ll keep an eye out,” she said as she handed Emily her Firewhiskey. Emily paid her and hurried through the door. She quickly made her way back to the Shrieking Shack, shrinking to the bed. A minute later, Bluejeans flew through the room.

“Hey, buddy, I thought you were staying with Hedwig and America until tonight?” Emily asked brightly. He hooted once and held up his leg, which she noticed had a letter attached.

Emily,

Please don’t do this. Don’t run away, don’t give up. Just come back and we’ll work all this out. I need you and whether you admit it or not, I know you need me, too.

You can’t actually believe all those things you said? I don’t miss that life one bit, Emily. The prejudice, the bloodline, the status, the Dark Arts… It was all crap. I could never hate you for taking me out of that place. I love you for it. And you know I never liked Pansy, nor do I love my father. I don’t know… I’ve kind of seen Remus as my father figure for some time now… He actually cares about me, or at least, I think he does.

Look, we’re all in danger. And not just the regular dangers, the Death Eaters have actual targets on us, Ems. They’re “waiting” for us, whatever that means. So, just be careful and come back. I’m going crazy here, Ems, I need you to come back. For me, for you, for us. I’m not ready to lose you; I’ll never be ready to lose you.

Forever & Always,
Draco

P.S. Why did you send Bluejeans on without you?


Emily had tears falling onto the parchment by the time she had finished reading it, but she still wasn’t going to go back. She ran for a reason. Emily folded the letter carefully, placing it on top of the bed sheets as she gave Bluejeans his treats from her bag and then grabbed another book to read. This wasn’t how she had imagined her life, but it’s what she’s got. She wondered how long she could keep this going before they found her or she just ended it herself. She wasn’t so sure she could withstand the pain for much longer before she finally snapped.

Alicia refused to attend any of her classes as a sign of mourning for the loss of her family and announced that once Emily returned, she would attend them again. She spent most of her days in Firenze’s classroom, trying to find Emily. Jamie would stay with her during the night and Draco would join them at lunch.

You know, she’s going crazy in there,” Jamie said after a week of nothing but blackness. Draco looked up from his cauldron to find Jamie staring into the depth of the potion with a smudge of ash on his cheek. “I can tell.

What are you going to do about it then? We’re all going a little crazy over what’s happening,” Draco said, returning to stirring the orange colored liquid in front of him.

I’ll write a letter to Emily,” Jamie said, still staring into the cauldron.

You know that won’t work- she won’t answer me or Remus when we try to contact her,” Draco said, shaking his head. He was keeping in touch with Remus by letters but they still hadn’t had any contact from Emily.

I’ll try it... If that doesn’t work then I’ll see how mum and dad are going,” Jamie said, sighing slightly. Sean had come into the school to see Jamie the day after Emily had vanished, to tell him that he and Sophie were putting out her description to all the shops in Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. Draco shrugged and concentrated on their assignment.

At lunch, Draco went to Classroom Eleven and found Alicia sprawled out on her back, her hair making a light blue fan above her head.

Nothing?” he asked, dropping beside her and handing her a plate of sandwiches.

Nothing,” Alicia repeated, resting her plate on her stomach so that she didn’t have to sit up. “It’s as if she’s trying to forget us by pushing us away- locking down her mind... I miss her so much...I shouldn’t have said those things,” she said, her voice dropping to a whisper as she dropped a sandwich back onto the plate, moved it away, and rolled onto her side, propping her head up with her arm.

You were angry and upset- I understand that, Alicia... So does Emily, when she wants to see past it,” Draco said, smiling at her slightly. He had become good friends with her because of Emily. Alicia felt like a sister to him now because of her.

If it wasn’t for her, Draco, you’d probably be paralyzed from the neck down by now... You know that, right?” Alicia laughed, commenting on his thoughts. Draco joined in with her laughter.

I know... Did I ever officially apologize for what I did to you at the Yule Ball?” he said and she grimaced.

Yeah... Don’t bring it up again- I lost Emily that year too because of my big mouth,” Alicia said, shaking her head to get rid of the memory. “Where’s Jamie anyway?” she asked, frowning as she realized he hadn’t come in with Draco.

He’s sending America out with a letter for Emily...” he said quietly and Alicia looked at him. “I told him it wouldn’t work before you say anything,” he added quickly and she laughed again for a minute before cutting off quickly, breathing sharply as her hair turned scarlet and her eyes an emerald green.

A letter! Why didn’t I think of that?” Draco stared at her in confusion as she jumped to her feet and started pacing.

I did just say that letter won’t work, didn’t I? She doesn’t reply to them- she’s probably not even reading them,” he said and she shook her head.

No,” Alicia said, sounding frustrated. “If I send her a letter then I can focus on that, not her! I’d be able to find her! The problem is, it may not work- I’d only see it being delivered... But I could focus on finding the words! That would work! She’d have to remember us when she’s reading it- see our faces in her head!” She ran to the door, grabbed the handle and then paused. “I can do this,” she whispered before pulling it open and dashing out the door, Draco a step behind her.

They ran straight up to the Gryffindor Common Room, where Alicia said the password and ran inside. Without thinking, Draco followed her. As they entered the Common Room, it fell silent as they stared at the two newcomers.

Damn- I’m not supposed to be here,” Draco muttered as he felt the glares burn into his skin.

Ignore them,” Alicia whispered out the corner of her mouth. “What? Haven’t seen two people before? Get over it- he’s with me,” she spat and then headed towards the boys’ dorm. “Draco!” she called over her shoulder and he hurried to follow her. Alicia opened the boys’ dormitory door to find Harry, Jamie, Hermione, Ginny, and Ron sitting on their beds. “Afternoon, guys... Care if we join you?” she said as she walked in. Draco hesitated at the door but then followed her into the room.

Alicia!” Ginny said happily, running to hug her. “Draco! You’re in Gryffindor Tower?” she said, sounding shocked and confused as she hugged him too.

My fault- I forgot he was in Slytherin... Oh well, who cares about breaking a few rules? Jamie, have you sent that letter yet?” she said, plopping herself down next to him on his bed. Draco moved towards Neville’s empty one and sat on the edge.

No, why?” he asked, frowning at her. His eyes took in the hair and eye color and his face relaxed. “You’ve had an idea.

Yes- if I add my own words to that letter, I can focus on trying to find them as she’s reading them. I’ll pick her up and then go and get her-

No!" several voices said at once. She frowned as they all stared at her as if she were mad.

What?” she demanded, her eyes narrowing as she stared at Jamie.

Remember that letter? They’re watching the damn school, Alicia! You can’t go out of bounds alone- I won’t let you,” he said sharply.

I can take care of myself, Jamie,” Alicia retorted, her voice just as sharp. “Just because I’m a girl doesn’t mean I need help- in the words of a Muggle song by Jessie J: I can do it like a brother, do it like a dude,” Alicia snapped and Jamie cracked a smile.

You know that’s not what I meant... But if you want to quote song lines, doesn’t the same song say, you think I can’t get hurt like you?” Alicia frowned, knowing that he had beaten her.

Fine... You and Draco can come with me,” she said and Harry shook his head.

That’s not a great idea either, is it? That letter was about the three of you, so being out of bounds together just makes it easier for them- take someone else or send someone else.

You’re just as wanted as me or Emily, Harry! I’m not letting anyone else go- they could get hurt,” Alicia answered back and Harry shrugged.

We’ll take the risk,” Ron said as he looked over at her. “You find her, I’ll come with you to get her.” He saw Jamie’s face and smiled. “You think I’ll let her get herself into trouble?

Knowing you, yes,” Ginny said and Harry laughed.

You’re not going either, Ginny,” Alicia said, sounding bored. Ginny pulled a face at her. “They know that you’re related to Jamie so they’ll try to use you as bait... And can I just say that I’m not stupid- I wasn’t planning on skipping out through the front gates.

How were you going to leave then?” Draco asked and she smiled at Harry, who grinned.

The secret passageways that lead from the school to Hogsmeade- that way you can make sure we get there safely by using the map,” Alicia said and Draco nodded. Emily had taught him the hidden tunnels last year. “So, hand over that letter then,” Alicia said, sensing a victory.

Alicia made Jamie and Draco skip the last lesson of the day to send the letter. She met them outside the Charms classroom and practically pulled them away. They remained silent as they headed towards the Owlery. Alicia called America down and let her sit on her shoulder as she reread the letter.

Emily,
I know you don’t want us to annoy you all the time like this, but we’re worried about you- and when I say we’re, I include Remus, Tonks, and my entire family. We just need to know that you’re okay... You don’t have to tell us where you are. I guess that Draco told you about the letter we got a week ago? It was from the Death Eaters... It was to let them threaten us- and to tell Alicia that they got to Alice, Edward, and Jasper... Ems, they’re watching us and they know that you’re missing... I think that they don’t know where you are otherwise they’d tried something by now...
Please let me know if you’re okay...
I love you,
Jamie


Emily,
I know you’re not my biggest fan right now, and I understand that I brought it upon myself... I’m sorry that I said those things to you at the Burrow- I wish I could take them back... You are and always will be my sister, Emily, and nothing can change that.
We’re missing you up here in the castle, Ems... Especially me... I forgot that Draco was in Slytherin today and burst into the Common Room with him behind me- you would have laughed yourself silly if you’d seen the looks he was getting! I lost twenty House Points for that one but I’m not really bothered... And guess what? Snape’s Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher! I know, I’m shocked too. That teacher Harry saw over the summer is the new Potions master! I got it wrong! Apparently, he knows Harry’s parents from when they went to Hogwarts... He’s been telling me funny stories about Sean and Sophie.
I can’t really tell you about any of the lessons as I haven’t been going to them... I’ve been shut up in Firenze’s room, refusing to leave until you come back. It’s idiotic, I know, but I don’t care...
I hope you’re okay and that you forgive me...
I love you,
Alicia


She sealed the scroll and tied it to America’s leg.

Right, this is for Emily, but I don’t exactly know where she is... Bluejeans does though,” Alicia said, nodding towards Emily’s snowy owl. “Is that going to be a problem?” Her own snowy owl hooted once and she smiled. “That’s my girl...” she walked to the glassless window and America took off, bobbing in the wind. “Guys... Look at that,” she said, her eyes watching something on the hills in the distance. Jamie and Draco joined her and looked in the same direction.

They are watching us, then,” Jamie stated as he watched the four Death Eaters on the top of one of the hills, watching the guards around the perimeter walls.

The problem is, will they attack the guards?” Draco said, his thoughts jumping to Tonks.

No- they’re to watch for us and nothing else,” Alicia replied, turning away from the window with a disgusted look on her face. “It’s a waiting game now,” she said as they left the tower. None of them saw America circle the Shrieking Shack in the semi darkness.

It had been a week already. Her supplies were already out as she had planned on being able to go again a few days later to get more. But then, when she ventured to the top of the Shack and peered out of the windows, she saw the hooded figures. Death Eaters. So, Draco hadn’t been lying in the letter. They were watching for them, for her, and she didn’t want to blow her cover and risk looking suspicious. So, she was out of food.

And she was exhausted. She couldn’t sleep. Every time she tried, she ended up waking from a nightmare. And it didn’t help when she found out how close the Death Eaters were. She had dark purple circles under her once shiny eyes; they were now dull with no life behind them. She read her books constantly, trying to keep her mind off of other things. But even that was running thin.

She had gotten several letters and Patronus messages from Draco and Remus over the week. At first, she read them, but after the second day, she started throwing them in a pile in the corner of the room. And then she got a new visitor.

“America?” Emily asked curiously as the bird flew through the window. America stopped on the bed, holding out her leg. Emily took the letter cautiously, thinking about seriously chucking it in the corner with the other letters.

Sighing, she reluctantly opened it and noticed Jamie’s familiar scrawl. And then she got to the bottom, to Alicia’s letter. She scoffed at the end as she balled it up and threw it violently into the corner of the room.

“Like bloody hell you hope I’m okay,” she muttered as she laid back down onto the bed. America eventually got bored and left her alone. She stayed like that for a while, letting the time slip by as usual.

Her head snapped up as she heard a scuffle from down the hall. She quickly grabbed her wand, pushing herself up from the bed. She held it defensively in front of her as the sound came closer.

And then they pushed through the door. Emily stood in shock, her wand still pointing at the three as they stared at her haggard clothes and exhausted expression. She didn’t have the patience for this. What part of her running away did they not understand? She slowly let her wand slip to her side.

“Emily?” Draco said softly as he stepped forward, but she just backed up more.

“Emily, I’m—” Alicia started but Emily just held up a hand.

“Save it for someone who cares, Alicia,” Emily spat as she made for the door. Unfortunately, the door was behind them and Draco wasn’t so keen on letting her pass. He grabbed her arm as she passed and quickly pinned her to the wall.

“Get off me,” she said firmly as her eyes bore into his.

“No,” he whispered as he leaned his forehead against hers. “I’m not letting you walk out on me again.”

“It isn’t your choice,” she whispered back, her eyes falling shut. The back of his hand caressed her cheek and she involuntarily tilted her head into his hand. He smiled slightly as he nudged her cheek with the tip of his nose.

“How did you find me?” she whispered, suddenly out of breath.

“Alicia,” he murmured and Emily’s eyes snapped open as she remembered what brought her to this in the first place. She pushed him away from her and ran from the room, before stopping abruptly as she hit a wall of solid flesh.

“Argh!” she exclaimed as she fell to the ground in a tangle of limbs.

“Emily!” Remus yelled in surprise as he picked her up from the floor, hugging her tightly. She let him hug her as she held tightly to the back of his shirt.

“I was worried about you,” he whispered into her hair, still refusing to let go of her.

“I’m sorry, but I wasn’t ready to go back to everything,” she mumbled.

“I know, but I wish you would have let me know you were alright.” Remus finally pulled back to take in her appearance. She was still wearing the clothes she had worn to the Platform and she hadn’t showered in a week. Her hair was a messy tangle of curls and she had purple bruises under her eyes. “Don’t take this the wrong way, but you look horrible,” he said and she narrowed her eyes at him.

“It’s not my fault you didn’t ask for a bloody bathroom when they made this place!” she exclaimed defiantly as she crossed her arms over her chest. “Now, if all you’re going to do is insult me, then I’ll leave,” she muttered as she tried to walk around him.

“Oh, no you don’t. We need to talk about this,” he said as he pushed her into the bedroom and sat her down on the bed. Alicia and Jamie were still standing where she had left them. Draco, having followed Emily into the hallway, slipped back into the room and sat on Emily’s other side.

“There’s nothing to talk about,” she muttered.

“May I?” Draco asked, looking at Remus expectantly. Remus nodded once and Draco grabbed Emily around the waist, turning her around so that she was facing him. She stared at his chest rather than his eyes as he tried to take her hand, but she pulled it away from him.

“Why did you run away from me?” he whispered.

“I—I just…had to, okay?” she muttered as she tried to stand, but he held her down.

“Not okay… Do you regret it, Ems? Do you regret us? Is that why you’re pushing me away? Because if you completely, honestly, one-hundred percent don’t want me, then I’m not going to force myself on you. But I want you to know that even if you didn’t love me anymore, I wouldn’t go running back to Pansy and my father. I’ll never go back to them,” he murmured as he cupped her cheek in his hand.

Emily stayed silent for a while before Draco finally gave up and started to turn away from her. She quickly grabbed his arm, looking up at him. He hurriedly pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly and kissing her hair.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered into his neck. He kissed her neck and forehead as Remus coughed behind her.

“You know we’re not done, right?” Remus asked as Emily turned to face him.

“I figured as much,” she muttered. “So, how did you find me?” she asked expectantly.

“Oh, well, I checked every other place you might be and then I thought about this place—where you first met Sirius and what not, so I thought I’d check it out.” He took her hand gently in his as he stared at her. “Now, what is going on with you? I know you and Alicia fought, but what brought you to run away, to break up with Draco? To do this?” he asked as he gestured with his other hand to the room they were in. Emily glanced around the room, her eyes falling on Alicia and Jamie for a second before dropping to the ground.

“Everything I guess,” she whispered. “Can we talk about this later?” she asked as she turned to bury her face in Draco’s neck.

“No, we’re talking about it now,” Remus said firmly.

“Draco…tell him…to let…me…sleep,” she mumbled as her eyes slid shut. Draco rubbed soothing circles into her back as he chuckled lightly, looking at Remus apologetically.

“Well, it does look like she hasn’t slept in a week,” Jamie said with a shrug as Draco began to pick her up to walk her up to the castle.

“Or eaten,” Alicia murmured.

Alicia hesitated as Jamie went to follow Draco out the door with Emily in his arms. She moved in the other direction- towards the window. She could just about see the Death Eaters through the darkness that had fallen. They were too close for comfort as she watched them stroll around the grassy hill. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she thought of them being this close to where Emily had been all along. A hand fell on her shoulder and she looked round to find Remus.

Thank you for finding her, Alicia,” he said quietly, leading her away from the window without looking at the four figures.

You found her too, Remus, without my help,” she said, shrugging as she smiled up at him.

You didn’t have to though,” he continued, ignoring her words as they entered the small tunnel.

Remus…” Alicia started but he held a hand up to stop her.

Wait- I don’t know how you feel about her anymore but I guess that you still care for her safety.” Alicia nodded as they crawled along the rocky floor. “And that’s why I’m saying thank you.

Remus, I owe you an apology too… I’m sorry I said those things back at the Burrow- I didn’t mean them. Emily will always be my sister- no matter what. I’m sorry I said those things and I wish I never had- look at what happened because of me… She ran away while it was too dangerous for her to be alone.” Alicia’s voice trailed off and they continued in silence for a while. Remus helped her out and they strolled across the moonlit grass, making Alicia laugh.

What’s so funny?” Remus asked, turning to look at her with a curious look on his face.

The last time we walked across this bit of grass together, you tried to kill us, Snape tried to protect us, Pettigrew escaped, and Sirius attacked you,” she explained, laughing again.

How is that funny?” Remus said blankly, the thought that Alicia was insane running through his head.

Maybe I am insane… But it’s just funny to me- how different things are now, compared to back then,” she said, grinning at him. He returned it before they sped up to the party in front of them.

Several minutes later, Jamie was opening the door to the Hospital Wing, where they found a rather large group of people waiting for them. Draco weaved through them towards one of the beds and lay Emily in the center of the soft mattress. Sophie hugged Alicia tightly.

Jamie told us what happened! You’re a hero, Alicia!” she said as she pulled back to smile at the girl, whose hair was a navy blue color. Jamie eyed the curls as his mother kissed Alicia’s forehead and went to speak to Remus, who was standing with Sean, Molly, Arthur, and Tonks.

What is it?” Jamie whispered as Alicia edged towards him. Draco stiffened as he sat beside Emily’s sleeping figure, showing that he was listening too.

She hates me…” Alicia whispered, a tear rolling down her cheek. Draco turned round to stare at her as Jamie wiped the moisture away.

I don’t think she does,” he retorted and Alicia shook her head. “What makes you think I’m wrong?

I know why she ran now… because of me… It’s always me- I lose my temper and shout, I cause her to run away, I make Death Eaters stalk us- ” Alicia said, her quiet voice travelling in the sudden silence.

Death Eaters? What do you mean?” Sean said sharply, staring at the three teenagers. Alicia hid her face into Jamie chest, intending to not answer him. “Alicia!

Dad- Emily’s asleep, remember!” Jamie said quickly, turning so that Alicia was behind him now. Sean’s gaze turned into a stern expression as it landed on his son.

What was that about Death Eaters?” he ordered and Alicia nodded into Jamie’s chest.

We’re being watched- and I mean Draco, Emily, Alicia, and myself,” Jamie snapped, glaring at his father. Sophie gasped and clutched at her heart.

Why? You’re only children, for goodness sake!” she cried, looking over the four teenagers in front of her. They had their whole lives ahead of them.

Ask Alicia,” Draco said simply, receiving a death glare from Jamie. He shrugged in return. “They have the right to know, Jamie- they’re your parents.” Jamie knew Draco was right and surrendered the argument. He stepped away from Alicia so that she was left with nowhere to hide.

They wrote a letter addressed to the three of us the day after Emily ran away,” Alicia said tonelessly. “It was to threaten us... They boasted about getting to Alice, Edward, and Jasper... They told Jamie to hope that they didn’t go after you... They warned Draco that they knew Emily was gone and that he had to find her before they did... Voldemort wants me to join the Death Eaters,” she said and the room fell silent.

How long have you known this?” Sophie whispered, her face horrified.

Probably about a year now... I’ve known since Uncle Arthur got attacked,” Alicia said, shrugging and turning away from the adults. “Can we not talk about it now please? Emily really needs to sleep and if we continue to talk about it, she’ll wake up.” The adults left them alone after that, Sophie only speaking to them to ask if they wanted anything and Jamie said that Alicia needed a strong cup of tea.

A couple of hours later, Emily started to stir before waking up to the crowded room. It was mayhem for a while as the adults scolded her for running away but then showed their relief about her being unhurt and fine. She was hugged by all of them, Sophie kissing her cheek as she left. Draco and Jamie glanced at each other before looking towards Alicia, who was perched on the bed opposite Emily’s.

Ems, you mind if we go to the loo? We’ve been waiting till you woke up,” Jamie said, motioning to Draco as they stood up. She nodded and watched them walk from the room, trying to stop herself from looking at Alicia. “Stay,” Jamie added, glaring at Alicia as he stopped by the door.

I didn’t ask for them to leave, you know,” Alicia whispered, staring down at her hands.

You can leave then, can’t you?” Emily said roughly and Alicia winced.

Jamie told me to stay,” she whispered, knowing that the boys had wanted them to sort things out.

Well, I don’t want you to,” Emily snapped and Alicia sighed, jumped off the bed, and walked towards the door.

I really did mean it when I wrote those things, Emily... I do wish that I could take those things back- that I care if you’re okay or not... And I do love you, Emily,” Alicia said quietly as she paused by the door. “You will always be my sister.” And then she walked over the threshold and away from Emily for what could be the last time.

Alicia felt like she had lost a part of herself as she moved through the castle. She didn’t know where she was going until she felt the cool night breeze on her face as she reached the front doors. She looked round as she leapt down the stairs, her eyes locked onto the forest. She was half way across the lawn when she heard footfalls behind her. At first, she thought it was Jamie, having found her but then she recognized the sound that could only be hooves on grass.

You know you cannot go in there, young one,” Firenze said, catching her shoulder and spinning her round. Alicia let the tears fall as her knees gave out, making her crumple to the floor in front of the Centaur. Firenze scooped her up and carried her back into the castle and into his classroom.

I-I- I’m sorry, daddy,” Alicia stuttered as she curled up under a tree.

Don’t apologize, young one, I understand what you are going through,” Firenze said calmly, folding to the floor beside her. She moved so that she was snuggled up into his side. “When they come to find you, shall I say that you are not here?

No, just say that I want to be left alone- the only person I want to speak to is Emily, but she won’t come looking.” Alicia sniffed and they fell silent after that, Alicia falling asleep into Firenze’s side.

“Baby, you need—” Draco started as he sat in front of her on the hospital bed.

“If you value our relationship, you will not finish that sentence,” Emily snapped with a glare.

“Are you saying that if I finish that sentence, you’ll break up with me?” Draco smirked.

“Precisely.”

“You know—that hasn’t worked out well for you in the past,” he chuckled and Emily narrowed her eyes.

“Are you saying it worked out well for you?” she asked as she glanced down at the bed sheets.

“Of course not,” he whispered as he tilted her chin to look at him. He kissed her lips gently before pulling back and tracing the dark circles under her eyes. “You should sleep,” he mumbled as he started pulling away from her. She grabbed his arm tightly.

“Don’t leave me,” she begged. He nodded as she scooted over in the bed, making room for him to lay next to her. She quickly fell asleep against his chest as he stroked her hair.

When she awoke again, she could feel Draco’s even breathing in her hair and she smiled. She glanced to the right and saw a very angry Madame Pomfrey. Emily smiled slightly and Madame Pomfrey stalked towards her.

“Do have any idea how many rules you two are breaking?” she asked angrily. Emily smiled timidly as the doors opened to reveal Remus.

“Now, now, Poppy, I already explained that she needed to sleep and that she wouldn’t be able to unless Draco was with her,” he said softly, winking at Emily.

“I cannot believe you condone this!” she said in a huff as she moved towards her office. Remus sat in the chair beside the bed, and Emily twisted to face him.

“How do you feel?” he whispered, as to not wake Draco.

“Hungry,” she decided just as Draco stirred. She turned to face him with a smile. “Morning,” she whispered.

“Morning,” he answered as he kissed her cheek.

“Actually it would be nighttime,” Remus intervened.

“Really?” Emily asked as she turned toward the window, where it was, indeed, dark out. “Oh,” she said shortly.

“Alright, I’ll go get some food from the kitchens,” Remus sighed as he made for the door.

Emily smiled before turning back to face Draco. “How did you sleep?” she whispered as she snuggled into his side.

“Much better than lately,” he responded.

“I’m sorry about all of that…”

“Don’t worry, it’s okay, I understand,” he sighed. “We need to talk about this, Emily…”

“I don’t want to,”
she whispered.

“Too bad… Alicia’s sorry, she didn’t mean what she said. You should forgive her,” he persisted.

“Why should I?” she huffed as she sat up in the bed, crossing her arms over her chest.

“Em,” Draco sighed in defeat as he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her back down on the bed.

“Don’t ‘Em’ me, Draco bloody Malfoy! She said that stuff to me! To me! After everything the two of us had been through together, and she’s going to say that, and now you want me to forgive her?” she whispered furiously as she wiggled out of his arms. “If that’s how you feel, then why did you even go after me? Why did you come get me? Maybe you should go bloody comfort her!” she shrieked, her tears pooling in her eyes.

“Hey now, you know it’s nothing like that!” Draco yelled as he grabbed her wrist to turn her back around.

She yanked it away from him, but ended up bringing him with her. Him and his bloody strength, she thought with a huff.

“This is exactly what you did on the train and I’m not going to let you do it again!” he yelled at her. “You’re not going to run away anymore, Emily! You’re going to sit here and tell me why you keep accusing me of having feelings for Alicia!”

“Oh, I am, am I?” she countered as she glared at the floor.

“Yes, you are,” he whispered softly as he tilted her chin up to meet his eyes.

“And if I refuse?” she asked coldly.

“Then we will stay in this position until you decide to talk,” he answered simply as he sat comfortably on the bed, bringing her with him.

“I honestly don’t know,” she whispered after a while. Her eyes on her lap as Draco watched her. “I guess…just what she said…I mean, she was right, wasn’t she? I never knew my mum, I barely knew my dad. I’ve lost nothing compared to her. And then I come to Hogwarts and I have a best friend, who I think of as my sister to tell me that I’m not… If I’m nothing to her, the person who’s supposed to be my best friend, who am I to anyone else? I’m not Remus’s daughter, not technically. I’m not…anything,” she finished in a whisper.

“Emily James Remus Amelia Sirius Black-soon-to-be-Malfoy,” he whispered slowly as he tilted her chin to meet his gaze, and she smiled slightly, “you are everything— everything—to me. You mean the world to Remus, to me!” he proclaimed as he rubbed her tears away with his thumb. “And I know you’ll scoff at this, love, but you do mean something to Alicia, too,” he whispered and she looked away from him.

“She obviously feels that part of it is true, Draco, or she never would have said that stuff!” Emily retaliated.

“Do you really believe that?” he asked gently.

“I don’t know… I don’t know how I feel anymore,” she said harshly and he went rigid.

“Ouch,” he mumbled as he fell back against the bed. “I pour my heart out to you, give you a promise ring, basically tell you that I want to marry you, and spend forever with you, and you don’t know how you feel anymore?... Wow,” he whispered.

Emily met his gaze as her tears made their way down her cheeks and neck, to pile against her shirt collar. “I didn’t mean…You know I love… Draco, please! This is hard for me! She basically stabbed me with her own bloody knife when she said that stuff to me; of course I’m going to be confused and upset, but I only meant I didn’t know how to feel regarding her, not you!” She grabbed his cheeks forcefully in her hands, accidently squeezing them together to look like a goldfish. “I chose you, didn’t I? When everyone thought I was a bloody traitor and insane, and my friends refused to talk to me anymore, everyone glaring at me, like I was a Slytherin, and all for liking you, I still chose you. Because, Draco Lucius Malfoy, I love you. Please don’t question it,” she whispered as she chastely kissed his lips. She left her forehead to rest against his as he drifted his fingers up and down her spine.

“Ahem,” someone coughed from behind them and they jumped apart to find Remus with a platter of food. His eyebrows were etched together in worry and pain as he stared at Emily’s forehead, rather than her eyes.

“Sorry, Remus,” Draco murmured as he took the platter off the man and set it at the end of the bed.

“What’s wrong?” Emily finally asked as she stared at him. Draco quickly averted his eyes, concentrating on the food.

“I heard more than you probably intended,” he whispered and Emily gasped. “Is that really how you feel?” Remus asked quietly. Emily pulled her knees to her chest and hugged them tightly with her chin resting on top. She nodded slowly and Remus dropped in to the chair beside her bed.

“God, I’m a bloody horrible parent,” he muttered miserably and Emily shook her head profusely.

“No, you’re not!” she shout-whispered. “How can you say that?”

“Look in the mirror, Emily! You ran away! You think you’re nothing to me! How is that being a good parent? How is me not knowing that you thought so little of yourself being a good parent?” he asked her. “This is why Sirius and James had families! This is why they ended up with a wife and kids, and I didn’t! Because I’m not bloody good at it!” he yelled.

Emily scrambled off the bed and threw herself into his lap, hugging him tightly. “You’re the best I could have asked for,” Emily whispered. “It had nothing to do with you, I promise.”

“I still don’t believe you, but I’m going to let it go for now, because you need to eat.” He pushed her back to the bed and she gratefully started stuffing her mouth, groaning at the deliciousness.

I loved the post... it was adorable. Emily and Draco are perfect together and I'm glad he's getting her to open up about Ali. Hope it all turns out alright
Remus should not feel that horribly about himself! He's a wonderful person and should never feel that down on himself!

Jamie frowned as he turned his back on the open door way. He’d followed Remus up from the kitchen and listened to the entire conversation. His feet started to carry him away from his friends, towards the Astronomy Tower. He was silent until he reached the top; the cold air seemed to clear his head as he stood on the balcony. There was a smattering of stars above his head.

We found her- well, Alicia found her,” he whispered, his eyes on the brightest star- Sirius. “She was in the Shrieking Shack- should’ve thought of that, really... You saw the incident at the Burrow- they’re both still hurt over it. I don’t know how to help but I don’t want to give up on them... Emily has Remus and Draco to look after her but I love her as if she was my sister... Alicia, on the other hand, she’s only got me and Firenze left now,” he said, his eyes glancing at the surrounding stars. Six of them seemed to wink at him.

He continued to talk to them until light shot across the sky, announcing the arrival of the morning. He stood from where he had slid down the wall and descended back into the main school, walking straight into Professor McGonagall.

What were you doing up on the Tower, Starlight?” she asked, her voice not as strict as usual.

Talking to the stars, Professor,” Jamie said, shrugging slightly. “I guess I’ve been with Alicia for a while...” he chuckled and the teacher nodded, understanding exactly what he meant.

Very well. I suggest that you return to the Hospital Wing before breakfast,” she said before walking away. She stopped and turned to face him again. “Oh, and tell Alicia that Professor Dumbledore would like to see the four of you together once Emily feels up to it.” Jamie nodded and the teacher vanished round the corner. It was then that Jamie realized he hadn’t seen Alicia since he’s left her alone with Emily.

How are you feeling?” Jamie heard Remus ask as he walked into the Infirmary.

Better...” she replied, her hand still wrapped in Draco’s.

Good- Dumbledore wants to see us when you feel up to it- I would say go now but Alicia’s vanished now,” Jamie said, rolling his eyes. Remus and Draco looked up with worried looks but Emily looked down at her lap.

Want help finding her?” Draco asked, shooting a side glance at Emily. Jamie nodded and Draco left the room, Remus following him.

I’ll catch up,” Jamie said as Draco looked back at the door. He turned to look at Emily, who was watching him. “You really feeling better?” he asked and she nodded. “How much better?” Emily remained silent, looking up at him. “Enough to forgive and forget?

Jamie- ” she started in a quiet voice but Jamie sat beside her and put his hand over her mouth.

No. I heard what you said to Draco and to Remus. I know for a fact that you read Alicia’s letter because that’s how we found you. You’re not a nobody, Emily, you’re Draco’s true love, you’re Remus’s daughter, you’re my best friend and you’re Alicia’s sister,” he said, dropping his hand to take hers. “You’re my sister too, Ems, and you always will be. Alicia does love you, she just has an anger problem- you should know that by now,” Jamie joked and Emily chuckled. “So?

I honestly don’t know, Jamie,” Emily said after a while. Jamie half smiled at her. “It’s not that I don’t love you, I do- but what she said...” Emily shook her head and Jamie looked at her thoughtfully. “What?” He put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper.

Re-read the bottom of this letter for me- no excuses, just do it,” he said, smoothing it out and sliding it onto her lap. He waited until Emily looked back up at him. “Now, repeat the lines that stick out in your head and we’ll match it to what’s in mine.

She’s sorry she said those things to me...” Emily said quietly, finally understanding what Jamie was getting at.

That, the fact that you are her sister... And that she cares about you just as much as she loves you,” Jamie said, tapping the three words above Alicia’s name. “So, forgive and forget or remember and hate her forever?

Emily’s gaze dropped back to the letter as she grabbed Jamie’s hands again. She folded the letter, slipping it into her pocket as she slid out of the bed.

“I know where she’ll be,” Emily whispered as she pulled Jamie off the bed and led him out of the infirmary. Jamie wrapped his arm around her shoulders as they set off, a slight smile on his face.

“So, you’ll listen to him and not me?” Draco asked with a mocking smile and Jamie chuckled.

“Don’t push it, Draco,” Emily replied tersely before smiling and taking his hand, Jamie’s arm still around her shoulders. Remus had already disappeared, so Emily figured he went off on his own to search for Alicia. “Come on, this way,” Emily whispered as she started walking down the corridor.

Emily gripped Draco’s hand tighter as they got closer and closer to Firenze’s room. He rubbed soothing circles on the back of her hand as she took a deep breath.

“You act like you’re about to make a presentation in front of the whole school; calm down,” Jamie muttered.

“Shut it,” she mumbled as they stopped short of the door. “Can you guys, er, wait out here?”

“Yup,” Jamie replied as he dropped his arm. Draco kissed her forehead lightly before she turned to the wooden door. She knocked lightly, opening it a smidge to look through. Alicia was curled under one of the trees, her cheeks stained with tears. Emily sighed as she slipped through the door. She nodded once towards Firenze and he went through another door.

“A-Ali?” Emily whispered shakily. Alicia flinched slightly at the sudden addition to the room, and Emily went to sit beside her.

“I thought you hated me,” she whispered warily, still not turning to face her.

“I could never hate my sister,” Emily whispered. Alicia rolled over with tears in her eyes, starting to sit up slowly.

“I didn’t mean it.”

“I know… These things happen when you’re upset; I would know…” Emily whispered with a small smile. Emily pulled Alicia into a hug as the boys peeped their heads through the door.

“Finally!” Jamie exclaimed at the same time that Draco said,

“It’s about time!”

“You act like we haven’t talked for years, opposed to a few weeks,”
Emily muttered with the roll of her eyes.

“Well, it’s felt like longer,” Draco murmured as he sat behind Emily and pulled her flush against his chest, wrapping his arms around her middle, while Jamie pulled Alicia into his side.

“Let’s just not do it again, agreed?” Emily asked. Everyone nodded slightly and Emily smiled.

“Now that we’ve got this figured out, I need to go find Remus…” Emily mumbled as she made to stand up.

“Try the Gryffindor Tower… He’s talking to Harry,” Alicia said immediately and Emily sent her a gracious smile.

“Walk me?” she asked as she looked down at Draco. He nodded silently as he stood and the two took off.

“I’m glad you two made up,” Draco whispered after walking in silence for a bit. He kissed her temple as she snuggled into his side.

“Me too,” Emily mumbled. “What am I going to say to Remus to make him understand it’s not his fault?” she asked quietly after a few minutes.

“I don’t know, love… But I’m sure you’ll figure it out,” he whispered as he kissed her temple again.

“I don’t want to have to go back to Gryffindor tower tonight,” Emily whispered as she stopped Draco in the middle of the hall and hugged him tightly.

“I know… I don’t exactly enjoy the Slytherin Common Rooms anymore,” he mumbled into her hair.

“Why couldn’t you have been sorted into Gryffindor?” Emily whined.

“Because I’m a Malfoy…unfortunately,” he muttered as he pulled her along the hallway before they rounded the corner to the Gryffindor Tower. “But since you’re technically not yet released from the infirmary, I can stay with you tonight,” he replied with a smile.

“Oh, crap! Pomfrey’s going to kill me for leaving!” Emily gasped, hitting her forehead with her palm. Draco chuckled silently as she grimaced.

They watched Remus and Harry talking seriously for a few minutes before Draco kissed her cheek and whispered, “Good Luck.”

Emily took a deep breath before plowing forward. “Rems, can I talk to you? Alone?” she asked quietly while glancing at Harry. Harry nodded, smiled slightly, and went through the Portrait Hole.

Remus led Emily over to the far wall at the dead end and sat down, motioning for her to do the same. She grabbed his hand tightly in hers in the process.

“You had nothing to do with my choices, Remus John Lupin,” she whispered. He sighed heavily as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

“I just wish you could have trusted me with everything,” he said quietly.

“I just needed time, Remus. I needed to be alone. I needed time to think about things… Ever since…Sirius…died, I’ve needed time alone to just process it… And then the stuff with Ali was kind of just an overload, so I finally snapped and ran. It’s what I do, Remus. I run when I don’t want to feel anymore—when I need to be just alone with myself. It wasn’t you—it was me.”

“I felt like I failed you after you sent me that letter,”
Remus whispered a minute later.

“You’ve never failed me, Rems,” Emily whispered as she leaned into his embrace.

“I love you, kiddo, like you’re my own.”

“I love you, too,”
she replied.

Thanks, Rach! And thanks for reading my other ones! I was so busy trying to sort everything and everyone out around me, I didn't realise my sister had stolen my pendrive and wiped them off, so I went to post and discovered them gone, so I had to back-track a lot to catch up...

We love you!

Alicia rested her head against Jamie’s shoulder as the door swung shut. Firenze’s head appeared around his office door.

Are you all right, young one?” he asked as the sound of his hooves on the grass sounded round the room. Alicia looked up with a small smile.

I think I’m going to be okay now, dad,” she whispered and Jamie chuckled.

You’ve got all your family back now,” Jamie whispered in her ear and the smile melted off her face.

Family...” she repeated quietly, contemplating the word. “It’s a strange thing, isn’t it?

Sometimes I wonder what’s actually going on in your head, Ali,” Jamie said as he turned slightly to look at her.

I think it is- it brings people together and it causes arguments... Heartbreak seems to be the running theme this year though,” Alicia sighed and Jamie frowned.

Stop it,” he ordered and she jumped slightly, as if she hadn’t really been sure on him being there.

Stop what?” she asked, frowning at him. His gaze softened as he placed a hand on her cheek.

Being so dramatic... I guess this is all for a reason? Seen anything?” Jamie guessed and Alicia’s nose wrinkled, giving her away. “I knew it... What was it?” he said smugly.

I’m not sure... I know that I get detention tomorrow,” she said, grinning through the darkness.

What for?” Jamie said in a disapproving voice, raising an eyebrow. Alicia burst into laughter, drawing Firenze’s attention.

I have missed that sound,” he said quietly to Jamie as he stepped up to them. Jamie was grinning now.

Me too, Firenze,” he agreed, waiting for Alicia to calm down.

Well... Would you rather I missed more lessons?” Alicia managed to say between gasps, making Jamie and Firenze laugh.

The following day, found everyone apart from Emily in Defense Against the Dark Arts.

What is the advantage of a non-verbal spell?” Snape’s voice rang through the silent classroom and Hermione’s hand shot up out of habit. Alicia was lounging on her chair, swinging it on its hind legs while glaring at the teacher. “Very well- Miss Granger?

Your adversary has no warning about what kind of magic you’re about to perform, which gives you a split-second advantage,” Hermione said immediately and Alicia giggled once.

An answer copied exactly word for word from the text book, but correct in essentials. Yes, those who progress to using magic without shouting incantations gain an element of surprise in their spell-casting. Not all wizards can do this, of course; it is a question of concentration and mind power which some... Lack,” Snape sneered, his gaze lingering on Harry as Blaise sniggered and Alicia jumped up in anger.

Lack? Copied word for word? Who do you think you are, insulting Harry or Hermione or anyone else at every moment you get?” she snapped as Jamie hid his face in his hands. Draco seemed to focus on the spot of light that managed to hit the ceiling. “Every single person in this room- who’s not an idiot, cough, cough, Slytherins, can give you a run for their money in mind power,” Alicia said, venom in her voice.

Detention, Miss Daniels. How dare you speak to a teacher like that?” Snape roared and Alicia just laughed once and threw herself back into her seat, huffing slightly. Jamie was slowly shaking his head while Harry and Ron looked shocked and Hermione disturbed.

Sodding idiot,” Alicia hissed as Snape continued with the class, her eyes on Blaise, who was crying with silent laughter.

Ignore him,” Jamie ordered quietly, receiving a grin from Draco while Alicia threw him a dirty look. “I mean it.

I didn’t mean you, by the way, Draco,” Alicia whispered quietly, realizing what she’d said.

I know.” He smiled before Snape’s voice cut them off.

You will now divide into pairs,” Snape said, ignoring the five Gryffindors. “One partner will attempt to jinx the other without speaking.” The emphasis was obvious as he glared round the class. “The other will attempt to repel the jinx in equal silence. Carry on.

Two minutes later, Alicia was still in her seat, repelling the spells Ron sent at her back as she sent sneaky jinxes towards where Blaise was practicing. To their left, Draco and Jamie were whispering the incantations out the corner of their mouths, as were Harry and Dean. Hermione wasn’t cheating but Neville was.

Really, Alicia, grow up,” Jamie sighed as she and Ron doubled up in silent laughter due to the fact that Blaise was now doing a spectacular tap dance on the nearest table.

You can be so boring sometimes, you know that?” Draco said, grinning widely as Snape stopped the performance. Alicia threw Jamie a sulky look, blocking a tickling charm from Ron again. Jamie shrugged and continued to cheat. A few minutes later, Hermione stopped Neville’s whispered Jelly-Legs, a fact that Snape totally overlooked. Jamie forced Alicia’s hand down as she went jinx the professor behind his back.

Nasty, evil, foul overgrown bat,” Alicia spat as he glided past. Jamie shrugged, rolled his eyes and gave up as Alicia received another detention. Draco was suffering from a silent fit of the giggles, making Jamie sigh.

Pathetic, Thomas,” Snape said after several minutes. He’d been watching Dean and Harry for a couple of seconds. “Here- let me show you-

PROTEGO!” Harry shouted as Snape drew his wand and turned to him. The shield charm knocked Snape off his feet and into a desk with its force. The class fell oddly silent as Draco jumped on Alicia to keep her from getting involved.

As soon as the class had finished, Ron congratulated Harry for what he had said while Alicia stomped off towards the Hospital Wing with Draco and Jamie in her shadow.

Harry, I swear I am going to teach you how to do wordless magic even if it kills me!” Alicia shouted over her shoulder as they reached the corner. She heard laughter behind her and then skipped off down the corridor, wanting to see Emily.

Ali, wait for us,” Jamie called and she stopped for thirty seconds. “Sometimes I feel like I’m trying to control a force of nature...” Jamie sighed, shaking his head. Draco laughed as they passed through the doors.

What did I miss?” Emily asked as the three of them dropped into seats round the bed.

Just Jamie being funny,” Draco said, grinning at the knowing look Alicia eyed Jamie with. “And Alicia getting two detentions from Snape.” Alicia turned her gaze onto him, her eyes narrowed and an icy blue.

Why? What did you do?” Emily asked seriously, a faint smile on her face.

Told him that everyone in that room had more mind power than him without even trying,” Alicia said in an unbothered voice, making Jamie roll his eyes.

And the fact that she called him a nasty, evil overgrown-

You left out foul- I actually called him a nasty, evil, foul overgrown bat,” Alicia said, correcting Jamie, who raised an eyebrow at her.

Whatever, it doesn’t really matter, does it?” he stated and she turned to glare at him with her icy eyes.

Well, if you’re going to give her the story, you need to get it right!” she countered before her eyes became pink.

Ha- I win,” Jamie said, turning back to Emily. “Sorry... Well, he heard her and there goes Saturday...

She’s got detention with Harry then,” Draco pointed out and Emily frowned. “Harry sort of had a small argument with Snape when he pulled his wand out on him.” Emily’s face became very worried. “Don’t panic- Harry’s shield charm knocked him over and then he started to have a go at him and it ended in Harry getting a detention.

Hmm... What were you supposed to be doing anyway?” Emily asked and Draco grinned.

Wordless magic.” Emily laughed as Draco nodded towards Alicia. “She just stayed in her seat, blocking everything Ron sent her way while jinxing Zabini-without a wand either... Jamie wasn’t very pleased with her- he kept missing me and hitting Crabbe.

I was trying to stay focused and I had her and Ron rolling about laughing,” Jamie said defensively.

You lot were cheating, weren't you?” Emily laughed but they didn't get a chance to defend themselves.

WHAT!” Alicia’s shout made the three of them jump.

Not funny!” Emily said, hitting Alicia on the arm. Alicia ignored her and frowned at the wilting daisies at the bed opposite. “What did you see?

Harry gets out of his detention!” She ground her teeth together, still glaring at the flowers, which were suddenly not wilted anymore.

BAD ABI! YOU TOOK TOO LONG!

Great job and I can't wait for more!

Emily?!? EMILY? WHERE ARE YOU?



I seem to have lost Emily... I don't know if I should post her part or not, in case she's too busy...

Abi's confused...

I'm here! Sorry! I have been busy lately, and I apologize!


“Emily! What are you doing out here? Isn’t Madam Pomfrey going to chomp your head off?... Oh, hello, Professor Lupin,” Draco mumbled as he noticed the older man.

“Remus persuaded her to let me go,” Emily grinned. “And would you please stop calling him Professor Lupin. At least call him just Lupin, or even Remus,” Emily said as she rolled her eyes.

“I agree with Emily, Draco. I haven’t been your professor for years.” Remus smiled as he pulled Emily into a hug.

“Owl me if you need me, and don’t do anything strenuous or you’ll be back in the infirmary and Poppy will have both our heads.” Emily grinned at him as he started back down the path after shaking Jamie and Draco’s hands and hugging Alicia.

“Are we going to watch the tryouts?” Emily asked happily.

“I suppose so, though I don’t think they’ll want me there… I am still the Captain of the Slytherin team…” Draco said with a frown as he twined his fingers through Emily’s.

“Actually, I was wondering if you’d go somewhere with me?” Emily asked quietly as she glanced at him before looking back at the ground. She caught Alicia’s scrutinizing gaze and looked away.

“Of course… Where to?” Draco asked curiously.

“We’ll, er, see you guys later…” Emily said with a small wave. Draco and Jamie shrugged at each other as Jamie pulled Alicia toward the Quidditch Pitch.

“Where are we going, Emily?” Draco asked again after minutes of uncomfortable silence.

“The Shrieking Shack,” Emily whispered.

“Why?” Draco asked in confusion. “Did you forget something there?”

Emily shook her head slowly. “I’ll explain when we get there,” she whispered as she fidgeted with one of the charms on her bracelet. Draco’s brow furrowed as they walked silently across the lawn.

When they got to the tree, Emily pointed her wand at the ancient tree and, using a nonverbal spell, made it freeze in place.

“Show off,” Draco muttered and Emily suppressed a giggle.

“Are you referring to the fact that I was able to accomplish Nonverbal Spells, and you could not?” she teased. He narrowed his eyes at her and her grin widened.

“Let’s just go,” Draco muttered. Emily let Draco slide down the opening first, and then she followed, him catching and steadying her. They walked silently again and Emily led them to the bedroom.

Draco sat on the bed as he watched Emily look around. Her eyes were locked on the corner behind where the door had swung open. She walked forward slightly, her arm out reached, stopping when her palm made contact with the wall. She bowed her head slowly as her shoulders started shaking. When she turned around to face Draco, he could see tears snaking down her cheeks. He jumped off the bed in concern and quickly pulled her into a hug.

“What’s wrong?” he asked softly.

“Do you know what today is?” she whispered.

“The, er, 17th?”

Emily pulled back to look at him, nodding. “It’s his birthday,” she whispered. Understanding came over Draco’s face as he pulled her back into a hug, towing her toward the bed.

“I j-just felt l-like this is where I sh-should come for his b-birthday,” she stammered through raggedy breaths. He nodded silently as he stroked her hair.

“I know, love, it’ll be okay,” he whispered as he kissed her forehead.

“When will the pain go away?” she whispered.

“In time,” he whispered in response.

Emily calmed down after a little while and pulled back from his embrace. “Do you want me to give you a minute?” he whispered and she nodded slowly. Draco kissed her forehead and headed for the door, shutting it almost all the way as he left. He slid down the wall of the hallway, resting his head against it as he closed his eyes and listened to Emily’s sobs start again.

“I’m so sorry, Dad,” he heard her say quietly. “I know it’s my fault you died… If I had been stronger, I could have gotten to you in time, helped you… If I had listened to Alicia, I could have convinced Harry not to go, and then you and I could be here, together, celebrating your birthday. But I was stupid and weak and now you’re not here anymore…” She paused as she cried openly.

Draco had a few tears streaming down his face too as he realized just how much this really cost her.

“It feels like I j-just found you… We didn’t have enough time!” she yelled suddenly. “I’ll kill Bellatrix if it’s the last thing I do,” she whispered promisingly.

As she made her promise openly, Draco made his silently. I promise you, Sirius, I’ll keep her safe with my last breath. And I’ll avenge you myself so that she won’t have that burden to bear on her soul. Draco bowed his head as he wiped at the tears on his face.

Emily slowly walked into the hall after her whispered, “I love you.” She watched Draco stand and offer her his hand, which she automatically took.

“Shall we?” he asked, his voice gravelly. He coughed quietly to clear his throat from the sadness as Emily nodded.

“That’s my final decision and if you don’t get out of the way for the Keepers I’ll hex you!” they heard Harry bellow as they made their way to Jamie and Alicia in the stands.

“Where’d you two run off to?” Hermione asked from her seat.

“Nowhere in particular,” Emily answered evasively as she averted her eyes. Alicia studied her, but thankfully didn’t say anything.

Great post, Emily!
Poor Emily... she shouldn't feel like it's her fault cuz it's not. But then, I guess, it's kinda like Harry felt after Sirius' death. Aww, Draco's being sweet! Cute! Great job!
