“Snakes eat people?” Peter asked, eyes wide.

“Well…no.” Emily murmured. “But that just proves my point. A lion, the symbol of bravery, will not hesitant to make you its meal if you’re not fast enough, while snakes only attack when provoked.”

“Maybe with animals, but we’re in people world. Lions and Snakes in Hogwarts may be based off the real thing, but are so not the same.” Sirius said.

Katrina took her look as saddened shock, and smiled with fake sympathy. “Oh, don’t you worry dear, I’ll take pity on you and let you hang out with Narcissus and I.”

Fury bubbled up within Emily. She’ll take pity on me?!

“Is this true Miss Potter?” Slughorn asked, looking shocked that one of his favorite students would do such a thing.

“No.” Emily said easily. “I was merely defending myself when she attacked me, making horrible accusations.” Emily rubbed her eye, looking sad. “I’ve been Katrina’s friend since first year, and she loses her diary almost every week. She’s blaming me because I didn’t find it like every other time.

“So…Emily, will you come to the party?”

Emily’s smile faded and she looked at Bellatrix and Rodolphus. “I think it depends on if the happy couple and guests of honor wish for my attendance.”

“We’d love for you to attend, right Bella?” Rodolphus asked the girl next to him.

Bellatrix looked at Emily, a smirk forming on her blood red lips. “I suppose you could come, if you want.”

Emily shivered and looked away from Bellatrix's cold eyes.

Emily sighed sadly. I wish…I wish that you could keep that promise…Sirius Black, but I’ll never stop falling.

“Each one is different, but in the end it doesn’t matter.” She focused on the white snow that covered everything in sight. “They’ll only different for a little while before everything one is the same.”

She smiled lifelessly and pulled her hand back.

“What a nostalgic thing to say. It’s only snow.”

"I don't see what you see in her."

“Then you are blind. If one’s power isn’t enough, there is a want for more. I can see that want clearly in her eyes. That… burning desire for power.” Bellatrix’s gaze slid from Rodolphus and back over to the youngest Potter, who was blissfully unaware of Bellatrix’s plotting.

“Power the Dark Lord can easily give her.”

"...choose me."

Remus John Lupin.

Emily narrowed her eyes as she stared at her target over the top of her book. She was sitting in the library, three tables away from her target, watching him closely as he studied.

Suddenly something solid got in her way, grabbing her by her upper arms and holding her tightly. Emily closed her eyes and hit her captor. "No! Let me go! Don't leave me in the same room as that monster!"

“Because I love you, Emily.”
