Emily isn't mine, but the rest of them are... Thanks to those who have read this so far. I hope you enjoy you summer so far.

They were running. They didn't know where, when they slammed into a pair of students. The girl slammed into the taller boy causing the kids to gasp out in fear. "We're sorry," they cried out, as they turned, trying to find them. "We didn't mean to."

"Easy guys," the girl said, as she ran a hand through her hair before running a hand along her clothing settling them. "We're fine." Her eyes drifted over them. "But it's clear that you're not." She placed a hand on the arm of one of them closest to her and the girl nearly jumped out of her skin. "Easy...what's wrong?"

"She's evil," came the response before they took off, scattering in all directions in the corridors.

"She's evil?" her companion asked him. "She who?" He shot his blonde companion a look. "Irish you know who they are going on about." She shook her head, as she shifted in her spot. He shot her an arched look, glancing down at her worn shoes to her red and black clothing. She wasn't in her normal robes, but it wasn't school yet. "Irish?"

"I'm guessing it was her," she replied, causing him to turn to see Emily Snape heading toward them talking with another figure. "We shouldn't be here."

"Yeah, I know that," he whispered back to her only to stop in mid sentence when they stopped to look at them. "Not that it's gonna help now."

"Milaki Lupin," his voice called out, making it feel like nails running down his spine. "What are you both doing out here?" His eyes drifted over their clothing. "And in that attire?" He then closed his eyes. "50 house points for Gryffindor!" Emily simply smiled at him. "Now be on your way before I make it more."

"Yes, Sir," they replied before taking off.

"What was that?" Irish asked Maliki as they hurried off down the hall way. "It's not like the Snapes to be all in a tiff over nothing."

"Something happened," Maliki answered as he shot a glance back in the direction that they had come from. "You go on ahead, I'll catch up." She caught his arm, when he would have move. He shot her a small smile. "Irish, I'll be fine."

"Yeah, I've heard that one before," she remind him. "You get hurt Lupin, and I'm gonna have to tell your father and we all know how that'll turn out."

He scoffed at her before moving away from her. "I'll be okay," he said softly. "You don't have to worry about me, Black," he shot back at her. "You might want to worry about your own skin." She rolled her eyes before walking away...muttering under her breath about boys and egos. He smirked, before moving to eavesdrop on the conversations of a life time.

Emily turned around to face her own father. "What is it now?" she asked him, as she crossed her arms over her chest. "You're going to repremand me now for reacting in the way that I did?" I did the right thing." She shook her head as she moved past him. "She deserved it."

He let out a sigh, as he watched her. She looked lost and confused. Not anywhere near where she should be. He didn't want to tell her anymore about her destiny than he needed to. She needed to learn about it on her own. He couldn't hold her hand through this. There were some things that she had to learn and this was one of them. "Emily, you didn't do anything wrong," he started.

"Then what in Merlin's grey history is wrong then!" she snapped at him as she spun around to face him. She quickly noticed the Gryffindor boy watching them from the shadows but didn't move toward him or make any reaction that she saw him. "You act like I broke a stupid rule that I can't hurt my stupid house mates. They deserved it."

"You can't go on a whim and a bad day hurting your house mates," he warned her. "They will turn on you."

"I don't care," she yelled. "Let them. I don't fear them. There's nothing that they can throw at me that I haven't faced before." She then sniffled before glancing up at him. "I'll see you later. I have to study for you class." She quickly moved past him and he shook his head as he headed off in the opposite direction.

Before Maliki knew that she was heading in his direction, he found himself on the floor with Emily Snape standing over him. "You want the long or short verison of our conversation?" she asked him, as she held her wand out toward his throat. "The things I really don't like, are annoying house mates and ones who don't their places."

"Awe, Miss Snape you wound me," he muttered, as he glared up at her, and quickly reacted before his mind could scream no. He slammed a kick into her body, as his hand went for his wand. "Aguamenti" He smirked as a stream of water came from the end of his wand and hit Emily, drenching her. "Awe, you look like a wet rat, Emily..."

Emily shot him a harsh glare. "Expelliarmus!" she barked at him, sending his wand out of his hand. She then smirked at him. "You think you're so tough, Lupin, but you really aren't." She then pointed her wand at herself and muttered the spell. Instantly she wasn't a wet Slytherin anymore. She shot him a smirk. "Sorry honey, but it looks like you're shit out of luck."

"Oh really," he said, as he rolled over, and kicked her legs right out from under her. He quickly reached out and touched the end of his wand and pulled the rest of it into his hand before turning to face her. He then smirked as he gazed down at her. "So, Miss Snape, who's now the one who's gonna play nice?"

Her eyes grew dark and he quickly flicked his wand at her. "Accio wands..." He smirked as two wands came flying at him. "Awe, Mizz Georgia's wand. I'm sure she'll be wanting this back."

"You'll give me back my wand, Lupin," Emily growled at him, as she got to her feet. She knew enough spells that she didn't need her wand to take him down. "Or you'll be sorry."

"Yeah, I'm sure, Snape," he taunted, as he glanced at her. "Why shouldn't I just break this right now and save us all the trouble?"

Before he could say another word, he was down on his knees gasping out in pain, as wounds began to slice over his body. Emily's eyes grew wide in horror. Her head snapped around to see a figure in the dark. She quickly moved forward and yanked her wand and the Slytherin idiot's from his. "A reminder for you to leave me alone next time, Lupin," she hissed at him. "Cause I'm not sure that next time you'll survive."

She then fled into a dark corridor...leaving Maliki behind in his suffering

Irish Black figured that Snape and Maliki had gone at it had back tracked and took off running when she saw Maliki lying on the ground. "Maliki!" she screamed, as she dropped down next to him. "Lupin!" She shook his arm only to pull her hand back to see wounds. "Ah..." She quickly wracked her mind for any spells that wound work.

She put a hand on his forehead to find him burning up. "Awe...shoot..." She turned around to find the corridor empty. "Help, somebody..." she felt the tears start to fall as she stared down at Maliki. "You stay in there Lupin, you can't die." She quickly got up and headed off to find a Professor.

In the shadows Emily watched them and smirked. "Poor Irish," she whispered, as she watched Maliki struggle with the pain. She shook her head. He should had just said out of the way. Hearing footsteps running towards them, she stepped back into the shadows and faded away.
