We all know Harry's story but what of his parents and their friends.
Sirius's wife and family...Remus's first love and their son. And how their worlds came crashing down around them because of one person's fear....

chapter one:

James Potter smiled at the the sight of Platform 9 3/4 turning to the boy next to him, his best friend Sirius Black he said, "Well this is the last time we ride the Hogwarts express for the first day of school..." Sirius Chuckled and said, "You can't forget the feast..." James laughed and said, "Of course...who could forget the feast...." "But then again your always hungry padfoot." The two boys turned around to see their other friend and the brain of their group, Remus Lupin. Sirius laughed and said, "So what's your point Moony?"
Remus shook his head and said, "Never mind pads...Have you guys seen the girls yet?" They both shook their heads and said, "Nope.." A smaller heavier set boy with sandy hair said, "Their over by the train looking for you three....at least Emera and Crystalinn are, Lily said she could careless. What did you do prongs?"
James shook his head and said, "She's being unreasonable..." Sirius said, "Maybe you should just try apologizing for whatever you did wrong." James said, "I DID NOTHING WRONG!!!!" The other two just shook there heads and walked towards the girls leaving James to sulk by himself.

Sirius smiled as he saw the girl with cinnamin colored hair. He walked up behind her wrapping her arms around her he whispered in her ear, "Hey, baby" She smiled turning around in his arms she kissed him and said, "Hey, love." He placed his head in the nook of her neck and said, "I missed you. You smell like sweet tarts. Did you change your perfume?" She smiled and said, "It's called Midnight Pomegranate...you like it?" He growled lightly in her ear and said, "Do you even have to ask?" She laughed and said, "Lets go find a compartment.."
Emera looked at Remus and Crystalinn and said, "You two coming? Lily needs to go talk to James." She looked at the girl with deep red hair and said, "Whether she wants to or not." Lily rolled her eyes as she walked other to where Sirius and Remus were moments before. As they walked down the hall Crystalinn said, "Hey, where did Peter go?" Emera shrugged and said, "Who cares...he keeps getting creepier everyday." Sirius tightened his grip on her hips as he said, "Hey baby...that's still one of our best friends you're talking about."

She shrugged and said, "Sorry love really...there's just something not right about him...." Sirius said, "You just have to get use to him babe." She leaned her head against his shoulder and said, "Honestly I don't want to..."
Sirius kissed her neck and said, "It's okay baby..." She smiled and pulled him into an empty compartment followed by Remus and Crystalinn. Emera kissed Sirius deeply and said, "Baby i'll be back in a moment...I need to go find Eirick."
Sirius nodded and said, "okay, love." Emera walked out of the compartment heading down the hall she opened a compartment which was full of students with green and silver ties. She said, "Eirick we need to talk." A boy with black hair nodded she scanned over the group noticing one with his hood up. As she took a closer look she gasped and said, "Peter?" He looked up locking eyes with her as the black haired boy lightly grasped her arms guiding her away. Once at a safe distance she said, "Was that Peter?" Eirick looked to the floor and said,"Em..." She shook her head and said, "What was he doing in there?"

Eirick sighed and said, "Emera please..just leave it." She said, "Fine...I need to know, why was he with snape the other day? Does it have anything to do with why he is in there now?" Eirick's gaze softened and he said, "Emera please, you know I can't answer that. You're my little sister and I'm not going to let anything happen to you." She said, "And what about my best friends...What about Sirius, James and Remus?" Eirick looked away and said, "You can't tell anyone about seeing Peter in there." Emera pulled away and said, "Lily saw him with Snape also...it's the reason she and James are fighting. I need to know Eirick please. Is he a deatheater?" Eirick sighed hitting his fists on the wall above her head he said, "WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND? I CAN'T TELL YOU!!!!!" She shook her head as she walked away and said, "You can't protect me forever Eirick. I'm a Gryffindor not a Slitheren they'll come after me whether you say to or not." As she walked by the compartment Eirick was in Peter walked out.
She said, "Why were in there?" Peter gave her a smile with such hate behind it,
it sent shivers down her spine. He said, "I guess it doesn't matter if I show you cause no one will believe you." He pulled his sleeve up showing her the fresh tattoo of the skull with the snake on his forearm. Her eyes widened and she said, "Why would you do this?" He said, "I had no choice...he...he..was going to...kill me... unlike you I don't have family interwined with the inner circle to protect me."

Emera took off running to the compartment with the rest of the gang.
As she entered it she said, "Oh god Lils...I'm so sorry I didn't believe you."
They looked up at her and Lily said, "He didn't do anything to you did he?" She shook her head and said, "No, he showed me it..." James said, "Not you too Em... Peter would never join the deatheaters..." Emera looked up at him and said, "I just saw that damn mark on his arms with my own eyes Potter!"
Sirius said, "Babe calm down...I'm sure it was just some dirt or something." Emera looked at him with tears forming in her eyes and said, "I know what I saw Sirius." Sirius grabbed her arms carefully pulling her to his lap he said, "Okay baby...I don't want to fight please." She laid her head against his neck breathing in his scent she said, "Please believe me..." He tightened his grip and said, "We'll talk later..." As he felt her tears fall against his neck he looked at Lily and said, "What did you see?" Lily said, "I saw him in knockturn Alley with Snape last week they were talking to Malfoy. He was doing it out of his free will." Sirus looked at Remus and James and said, "Do you think its possible?" Remus said, "I don't know....I mean he has been very distant lately."
James shook his head and said, "I can't believe you guys! Peter hasn't ever done anything wrong and you guys are contiplating whether its possible for him to be a deatheater!" Sirus said, "Unlike you Prongs I'm at least going to investigate what my girl says and not blow up in her face." James looked taken back then he said, "That's because you're afraid she'll get pissed off you're not man enough to defend yourself against her." Sirius growled and said, "Don't you dare go there." James chuckled and said, "You think that if you piss her off you'll lose her to one of her brother's friends." Emera looked at James and said, "What's your problem Potter? Your just pissed because you can't stand the fact that for once you might have no control over one of your friends that you have to beat them down?" James glared at her and said, "Shut up Shawl."

Sirius said, "Don't talk to her like that..." James said, "Come on Pads how much good has come from being with her. She's pulling you away! For all you know she could be the deatheater and just framing Peter cause she doesn't like him." Lily said, "Take that back Potter!" James said, "Lil..." She slapped him across the cheek and said, "This is my best friend your talking about and I'm not going to stand for it! Emera has never done anything to make you believe that has she?" James said, "She was talking to Malfoy the other day and no one jumps at that!" Emera laughed and said, "He's my cousin douche bag!" James said,
"Exactly! With all your family connected to Voldemort it would only make sense for you to act like our friends until the moment is right." Emera shook her head and turned walking out of the compartment she said, "Fuck you Potter.
Lil, Crys I'll see you two in the dorms." Sirius growled walking following her out he looked at James and said, "You couldn't leave it could you? If you haven't noticed James she's in Gryffindor like the rest of us. She's just like me."
