Keep running. I have to keep running.

That's all I can think about. Death Eaters are so close behind me, I have to hide. Why are they chasing me you ask? Simple. I choose not to kill muggle borns, or as my uncle calls them, Mudbloods. I ran from my father's family, I couldn't deal with the violence against innocent people. Men, women, children and even babies.

I'm so close to the meeting place, I have to loose them.

I'm in the Order of the Phoenix. I work to protect my mother's family and those I hold dear. I work to keep my half brothers from following our father's footsteps. I was asked to meet up with a family of halfbloods and help them get to the portkey so they can be moved to a safe area. When I got there, the family was dead. Blood everywhere, body parts spread around the leaves on the ground on some branches of surrounding trees. The sun had gone down long ago, and by the position of the moon, it's around 1AM. I was in my animagus form, prowling around in hopes of life. I found their daughter, Sophia. She's not even a year old. I was able to grab her and run.

I can see the spot and I can see Remus. I'm so close. Faster Emma, faster. You have to save Sophia. You have to protect her.

"We have maybe three mins, lets go!"

Remus's eyes widen as he sees the lights behind me. I can see the questions and sorrow in his eyes. He activates the portkey and we're gone.

Luckily we landed on our feet. Sophia has finally woken up and is crying along with me. Remus hugs and cradles Sophia's tiny head. We both stand there and cry over the lost. That's how Dumbledore finds us. With one look, he understands.

Because of Voldemort, because of this war, Sophia lost her parents. She has no one else. I keep thinking over different ways Sophia will or can be raised. I look towards my father figure and wait for him to understand I have a wish. He looks to me with a questioning and joy in his eyes, like he knows what I want.

"I want to adopt her."
