Turning Words into Action

Emma made breakfast for Snape and Draco. "I'm assuming the two of you really hadn't had a home cooked meal in a while.

"In that you are correct Ms. Blackwood." Draco sat next to Snape picking off pieces of toast as he thought about the school he was being forced to attend. Stupid muggles and their stupid studies, Draco dropped the toast and thought to ask Harry for help. He could picture Harry laughing at him with a stupid History book. He stopped to look at Emma, who was pouring herself a cup of coffee. She had a short pair of plaid boxers and a tight tank top. Draco had a lopsided grin on his face when Emma threw a rag at him. Harry came down the stairs dressed to impress. He had a pair of tailored pants and a white collared shirt that had a loose tie around it.

"Are you ready Draco, we have to leave in ten minutes." Harry said while sitting down and grabbing a cup from Emma's hand. "Thank you Emma."

Draco rolled his eyes, "Don't I look ready?" It was Harry's turn to roll his eyes.

"You're stupidly overdressed." Draco had an elegant grey cashmere sweater. He had a black tie lay on a perfectly ironed white shirt. He picked a flake of nonexistent dust from his black slacks.

"I rather be overdressed then look like you." Harry looked at Emma in pain.

"Sorry Harry I expect Ginny back at any moment, and you know her news is vital. Severus will be brewing potions a few calming draughts, and headache relievers. That should help." Harry got up to leave, but Emma held him back. "Don't forget Harry all of them need to forget." Harry nodded his head and twirled his wand.

Harry and Draco pulled into the parking lot at Forks High. "All of my papers should be sorted right?"

Harry smirked at a nervous Draco, "Yea, Snape came in and signed everything. You'll need to go into the office and get a slip of paper where all your teachers will sign. When school ends hand it in, it's as simple as that." Draco looked at the school and looked back at Harry. "Don't worry Draco, this will be the only time you'll ever hear this from me, but you're a charmer. You'll do fine."

Draco laughed, "Oh God Harry what are you attracted to me." Harry immediately regretted speaking.

"I hope you make an ass of yourself it shouldn't be very hard for you." Harry ruffled Draco's perfect side parted short hair. "Good luck" Harry shouted as he ran inside. Draco entered the school's office to see an unsightly secretary.

"Excuse me. My name is Draco Malfoy." The secretary blushed a little and quickly handed Draco his schedule.

"Don't forget to have this signed by your teachers and visit me after school, well to hand the slip in."

Draco raised his eyebrows and walked away. Brilliant.

Emma walked in Severus's room to see that he had set up a mini Potions lab for himself. "Severus I'm impressed, I suppose people don't call you a Potions master for no reason." Severus didn't even bother to look up at Emma. Emma took that as an invitation to come in. "Can I see which potion you're working on?"

"I don't particularly care what you do in your own house Ms. Blackwood, as long as you leave me alone."

Emma frowned and said, "Tsk, tsk Snape and here I was going to invite you to my lab downstairs instead of working here in these fairly cramped corridors." Emma briskly walked past him when she heard her named called. "Yes Snape?"

"What Potions lab?"

"Oh you haven't noticed. Well follow me." Emma led Snape down to the basement, where Harry and Emma's blood decorated the walls. "Welcome to our training center."

Snape stared in awe and horror. He saw the boxing ring, fitness equipment, and the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, a grand Potions lab. "Emma did you build this?"

"I did, isn't it beautiful." Counters with ingredients, cauldrons by the tens. Knives of all sizes and shapes lined the walls. Snape stepped into action. He started by familiarizing himself with the lab.

"Thank you Emma."

"Please Snape; I didn't build this for you."

"Nevertheless your hospitality will not be forgotten." Emma fondly looked at the ceiling remembering Billy Black's word about Knox.

"Severus, stand by me and my loyalty will never falter." Snape looked at Emma for a minute he then turned back toward a newt eye he was slicing. "I'll be upstairs, yell, or whisper and I will hear you." Snape waved her off as he concentrated on his work.

Emma wanted to take Ginny with here to talk to the Black tribe, but she had yet to come back. It's only been a few days Emma, relax. Emma had to have confidence in Ginny. I guess I should deal with Mrs. Cullen first she should be alone now. Emma grabbed a basket of blood lollipops. Emma figured the way to get to Esme was not through physical force, but kindness. She followed the scent all the way to the Cullens home. Emma nodded in appreciation to the beautiful glass house. She casually walked up to the front door and rung the doorbell. Sure enough a smiling Esme answered the door. "Hello Emma, what a surprise."

"Hello Mrs. Cullen. I do hate to intrude, but" Emma paused and said, "Oh are you all alone?"

"Yes, at this time Mr. Cullen goes to work at the doctor's office and the kids are at school."

"May I come in?"

Esme put a hand on her forehead, "Why yes where have my manners gone? You'll have to excuse me Emma; I've been painting all day. Can I offer you anything?"

Emma kindly declined, "Actually I'm here to say goodbye."

Esme looked awkward and looked toward the door. "We are terribly sorry Emma, and we know that you are kind and bring no trouble, but we can't go against the Volturi, if it's a danger we could avoid."

"Oh I understand completely. In fact here I brought some sweet treats for your family. A small treat that Harry's family brought. I believe Rosalie told you about the dinner." Esme smiled and Emma asked, "Do you mind if I can see some of those paintings before I go?"

Esme felt the sincerity in Emma's words and smiled. "Of course sweet heart, follow me to our basement that doubles as my studio."

Emma's plan was going all too smoothly, but she forgot about one thing.

Harry was in lunch when Draco gracefully sat next to him. "Are muggles always this annoying?"

Harry just ignored him as he chatted with Bella. He noticed the Cullens walking toward their table, when suddenly a typically graceful Alice stumbled. Anyone perceptive enough would have noticed. She turned sharply to look at Harry; her lips began to move to fast even for Harry to read. All of the Cullens looked at him. Harry looked toward Draco and whispered "we have to get out of here."

"What are you talking about Harry?"

Harry wasted no time he grabbed Draco by the arm, and turned toward Bella. "He's not feeling well I have to show him to the nurse, excuse us."

Harry marched out when noticed the Cullens quickly following them. He exited straight through the gym doors where Emma used to sneak out. He looked at Draco and said, "Apparate us to the" Harry was quickly cut off when he felt Draco being dragged from his side toward the forest. "Fuck!"

Emma was in the basement with Esme when she pulled out her wand, she aimed quickly and whispered. "Obliviate," Esme stood completely still as Emma erased any memory of her existence from Esme's mind. Emma grabbed her basket of blood pops and erased her scent from the house. She was heading toward Carlisle Cullen when she jumped back in mid run. Jasper had crashed into the ground in front of her. Emma ducked as Alice's fist aimed straight towards her face. Emma quickly dodged Alice's gracefully attacks. Shit she moves like liquid. Emma was struggling to keep dodging. She saw Jasper jump at her once more; she quickly grabbed Alice by the neck and threw her at him. He caught Alice and landed. It was all the time Emma needed to conjure her knives. "I suggest we all stop here before someone seriously gets hurt." Neither Alice nor Jasper was buying it and attacked. They were truly a team to be reckoned with; together Emma knew she had little chance of beating them. She threw her dagger and slashed the side of Jasper's cheek. As Emma began to run toward her home, Alice grabbed Emma's foot and slammed her into a tree. Emma groaned, but had no time to rest. She ran as fast as she could toward the only one who could save her; Snape.

Emma shouted for Snape to help her, he's in the basement isn't he? Emma had to stop as Jasper threw her own dagger at her. Emma froze as she saw her very own dagger sticking out of her left arm. "You stupid vampires, we could have kept this civil, but play time is over." As Alice was about to speak she iced over, she glanced at Jasper, but he couldn't move or blink. They saw Emma's eyes turn ice blue all over, the wind picked up as she whispered in a deadly voice; "Legimens." Emma surfed over the millions of thoughts that flowed through Alice's mind. Jasper could sense Alice's distress and started to struggle against the spell. Emma saw the letter that was mailed to the Cullens requesting her capture. She started to see more and more, events that couldn't have occurred yet. Emma couldn't stop the flow of thoughts that started to rush into her mind. Jasper could see Emma felt the need to pant; he saw her crumble as she clutched her heart. Emma's last sight was one of Jasper breaking through the spell.

Harry caught up with Emmett and Rosalie. "Set him down now."

"I'll let him go if you promise not to hurt our family." Rosalie shouted as Draco's grey eyes hardened.

"Rosalie I don't know what you think, but I have no intentions of hurting you or your family, I promise."

"Emma will. Alice saw it. Emma wants to 'obliviate us.' What the fuck does mean Harry?"

"Rosalie, I promise I won't hurt you." Harry tried to reason.

Rosalie looked at Draco when he said," Yes, but I don't." Rosalie was blasted across the forest. Emmett moved to strike him, but Harry caught his fist in mid air. Draco immobilized both vampires. "What should I do with them? I can't hold the big one for long." Harry quickly pulled out his wand and obliviated Emmett of the event and of Emma. He turned to face a scared looking Rosalie. Draco smiled as Harry approached her menacingly. Rosalie looked at Harry and was about to spit at him, but Harry was too quick and went straight to work on her memories. He could feel the slight strain on his magical core, when he stopped.

"Harry there were four of them, where are the other two?"

Harry shouted, "Emma! Get on my back." Draco scoffed, but when Harry ran off he thought, I should have gotten on. Draco turned to face a knocked out Emmett and Rosalie. Oddly enough the first day of school, not as boring as I thought it would be.

Harry raced through the trees he could spot a frozen Alice and Jasper, and a wavering Emma. With renewed vigor he dashed through the forest to knock Jasper who was about to jump on a fallen Emma, straight through their front door. Alice fell to the ground clutching her mind. "What is this?" Alice whispered over and over. Snape ran up from the basement after he heard the crash, and quickly detained Jasper.

He saw a young girl gripping her head, Emma who lay unconscious on the ground, and a young man attempting to rip through the binds that wrapped around him. "Harry what should I do here?"

"Please Snape obliviate him immediately. Of everything that transpired through him and Emma, in fact erase all of today, same with the girl." Snape was never one to ask questions, especially the kind with answers he didn't want to know. He did as he was told immediately. Harry was at Emma's side, brushing her hair to the side. He picked her up and ran toward her room. "I'm sorry I failed, Emma."

"I failed Harry I should have known."

Harry grabbed Emma's hand as she laid the other on her forehead. "I read her mind, but it was too much. She's a seer, Harry, Alice I mean. I wanted to know why she was attacking me, and I saw her visions. She had visions of everything, from Esme in danger, to a Rosalie attacking Draco. I wanted to pull out, but I couldn't and my magic was diminishing." Emma was never one to go down easily. "You got Emmett and Rosalie yes?"

"I did, it was easy with Draco there, and did you get Esme?"

"I did, but there's one left, Carlisle. He should be at the clinic he runs. You need to get him before he goes home. Take Draco after school." Harry nodded his head and turned to leave. "Harry." He stopped. "Thank you." He smiled softly and slowly gave her a small kiss on the cheek. Emma's eyes widened as he exited the room.

Emma was up and moving again by the evening, she saw Draco and Snape sitting together in the kitchen. "Draco, I heard you worked brilliantly with Harry."

Draco had a smug look on his face, "You could say Harry was helpless without me, but you know that's opinion." Emma rolled her eyes and went for a wine glass full of gleaming red blood.

"Where are the Cullens now?" She asked downing her glass in one gulp. Harry answered entering the kitchen.

"All of today was erased. Any memory of you is gone. I altered so they think that Jasper had a craving and was rushed home. More importantly Emma, Alice, I observed her after she woke up, and she didn't seem the same. Throughout she would clutch her head and look around as if expecting someone."

Emma shrugged and voiced, "Maybe she had a vision of Edward coming home."

"What do you plan on doing with him Emma?"

Draco looked interested, "Who's Edward?"

They both ignored him and continued talking, "I don't know. I trust him, but with Alice's visions, she could have one of him visiting me."

"That's a possibility; we will have to await his return." Harry concluded when they heard someone arrive via floo. They all ran into the living room to find a blood covered Ginny. "Ginny!" Harry caught her as she was about to faint.

"Snape run get some healing potions. Malfoy, in the bathroom there are bandages and gauze, go get it." Harry gently laid her on the table that he cleared. Emma brushed her hair to the side to see a laceration run from her from her ear to chin. "Dear God what happened?"

Harry shook his head in confusion, "I don't know." He peeled off her blood soaked robes, when he noticed how much she had progressed. She had intricate runes that travelled from her shoulder blade down to her back. As he took off her leather gloves the same tattoos that he and Emma shared were now on her. Part of her black vest was seared into her skin; He had no choice but to rip it off her. Ginny screamed out in pain as Harry pulled off the mixture of leather and skin. Blood started to rush down Ginny's side. Draco and Snape both arrived to see a magically exhausted Emma attempting to heal the many cuts on Ginny. Harry sat besides her with his hands covered in Ginny's blood. Snape ran into action gently tipping each potion into Ginny's mouth. Emma snatched the gauze from a stunned Draco. She bandaged the side of Ginny's neck all the way to her chin. Harry ushered Draco to heal the side of Ginny's torso. Emma wrapped one of her silk robes around Ginny's rather revealed state, and carried her to her room.

Harry sat exhausted next to Draco and Snape, who sighed heavily. "There's just no rest ever since we came to live with you two." Snape said as he ran a hand through his hair.

"This was supposed to be our vacation from after the war, but it seems war has followed us." Draco simply hummed in agreement. "Emma will be leaving soon to see an acquaintance of ours. Hopefully with Ginny and upon Emma's return we will have enough information to figure out what the hell is going on?"

Emma came down the stairs and plopped down unceremoniously next to Harry. "I feel so bloody human right now." Harry chuckled softly. Snape and Draco went to their respective rooms as Harry and Emma feel asleep in each others arms.

Emma's eyes opened immediately when she heard the lightest knock on the door. Emma couldn't recall falling asleep, she went to answer the door and saw that last person she ever expected. "Knox?"

"Hello my love."

Emma couldn't believe it, she looked around, but nobody was with her. "This can't be real? Am I under attack?"

"Ah yes the Emma I remember. No love you're not under attack, you are technically dreaming." Emma looked at him in confusion as her eyes began to glisten with moisture. "Emma I'm here to ask you to let me go."

"What?"

"Emma I know I will always have a place in your heart, but in life, even after death, we all need closure. Look around you; you're fighting all the time, in all the time I knew you, you have always put up a barrier. I finally broke through, but that was just the beginning. Our love for each other was the foundation blocks for where you need to get to. I think you and I both know who your next steps will be." Emma thought of Harry and how he cared for her, and had refused to ever leave her side.

Silent tears dripped in slow agony from Emma's eyes, as she closed them. Knox gently kissed her closed eyes. "I miss you," Emma said. She opened her eyes to see midnight black hair nuzzling into her neck. Emma smiled softly as she observed Harry's frame. He was slightly drooling as he slept, but no sound emanated from. Hope he never has a sleepover. He languidly rose from his position and laughed at Emma. "What?"

"Your hair," Emma conjured a mirror and laughed. One side was completely pushed up where she had slept on her hand.

"Like yours is any better." Harry saw the mop of hair that lay on his head.

"Yea, but you see I'm used to this."

"Exactly Harry mine can be fixed."

"Ouch, my feelings," Harry mockingly grabbed his heart. All attention was placed on the small figure making her way down the stairs. "Ginny."

"Emma, Harry, the minister, he's dead."

"NO! How did this happen?"

"As soon as I got back, it was morning. I went to tell father and he stepped into action. I handed them all the proof they needed including Draco's memory. The next day I delivered the letter to McGonagall, she gave me this in return." Ginny slowly walked up to Emma and handed her the letter. "The minister had set up to capture Luna Lovegood and Leon Havoc, who I knew they would be together, but it was a trap." Ginny sat on the couch across from Harry and Emma. She pressed her chin in her palm, "These runes and your training saved not only my life, but my father's as well. It seems they were expecting us. I ran in with my squad of auroras round the back. The minister was there to issue a formal arrest, but that was the first mistake. The second was actually stepping into the house. We were quickly ambushed by death eaters led by none other then Luna Lovegood. She knew my every move; I knew we had to run, to escape from that hell. Ginny slid her hand from her chin through her hair. As I jumped from the second floor window into the lake I saw it."

"What?" Harry asked in suspense.

Emma already knew, "Voldemort's reincarnated body."

"Exactly, but Emma they are working with someone, I didn't know who he was, but maybe you would, I know for a fact he was a vampire, and not the vegetarian kind."

"Let's not talk of this now, Ginny. Rest, regain your strength, soon we will begin your training again. I will have to go to see McGonagall immediately myself. I will leave next week Friday. In the mean time, Harry go get dressed, you and Draco have to go to school." Harry agreed and went to go wake up Draco. Emma stared at him as he walked away. Ginny's eyes travelled from Emma's to Harry.

"Oh?"

Emma looked at Ginny, "Oh shut up."

"What do I see here? Is this ice queen extraordinaire Emma Blackwood in 'like' with Harry Potter."

"Ginny I swear I don't care if you got your arm blown off I'll kill you." Ginny laughed.

"What's on the agenda today? Being with you two makes me feel so alive."

"The agenda includes you and me resting. We need it; I will have to call the werewolf tribe to see if they can come to us."

Ginny shrugged, "Why?"

"No one in Forks knows I'm here, but them. I have the Volturi hunting me."

"Volturi?"

"Yes Volturi, think of it like the Ministry, but for vampires."

"Emma you don't think that they are the ones working with Voldemort do you?"

Emma stopped and thought for a moment, "That's a possibility, but the Volturi hate wizards."

"Yes, but what about a reincarnated vampire wizard."

"You think Voldemort is a vampire?"

"If not a vampire something near it, Nagini was his only horcrux left so he can't be fully human." Emma nodded her agreement.

"I will have to see that memory, but I will need someone here to see it with me, he maybe able to help me a little more." Ginny yawned when she heard her stomach grumble. Emma grinned, "I better get started on breakfast."

"And I shall watch." Emma was wrapping up breakfast when they heard a knock on the door. Harry came down to look at Emma, if she knew who it would be. Emma shook her head and quickly left the kitchen and made her way to the basement.

Harry went to answer the door. "Oh Bella. What a pleasant surprise." Ginny who was sitting in the kitchen craned her neck to see who it was. "Please come in, we are all sitting for breakfast, join us?"

Ginny heard a delicate voice answer. Bella came into the kitchen to see Ginny sitting at the table. She had her legs crossed making her silk robe slip to the side and reveal her sculpted leg and thigh. She was leaning her head on her fist as she rested her elbow on the table, making her amber, tousled hair cover her unsightly scar. She was observing the bruises on her right hand, when she saw Bella. "Hello."

Bella was in shock at seeing such a girl at Harry's kitchen table in a silky robe, which made it quite clear she had either nothing or something close to it underneath. "Hi."

Harry came in, he had forgotten about Ginny in that instance. "Ginny, sorry this is Isabella Swan."

"Please call me Bella." Ginny only smiled.

Harry continued with the pleasantries, "Bella this is Ginny Weasley a close friend of mine." Bella couldn't look away from Ginny.

Ginny kicked a chair to the side and said, "Please sit." As she went to sit she started to notice all of the scars on the girl.

"Are you alright?"

"Oh yea, fine, I ah was in a bit of an accident back home and came to rest up here."

"When did you come in?"

"Oh last night, I caught a late flight."

Harry saw the girls chatting and went to inform Emma that there was no trouble. "Ginny please finish breakfast, I will be back in a second I have to go get Draco."

"Wait Harry I have someone waiting for me in the car do you mind if her comes in?"

Harry looked skeptical, "Who?"

"I met him when I went to La Push beach the other day, his name is Jacob Black, can he come in too." Harry recalled his name from Emma, "As long as he's friendly."

Bella nodded excitedly and ran to go get Jacob. Ginny lazily rose to check on the bread pudding Emma had placed in the oven. Bella led Jacob into the room and his eyes immediately fell on Ginny. Her petite figure was complemented through the silk robe, she flung her hair from her face as she laid eyes on Jacob and a small blush graced her cheeks.

Harry ran upstairs to get Draco; he passed Snape along the way and informed him of the guests. Snape simply groaned and said he would go straight to the basement. He was passing Emma's room when he would've had a heart attack if he were alive. "Edward?" He turned around to face Harry Potter.

"What the hell did you do to my family?"
