Chapter Thirteen

'HARRY POTTERS WORD'

Fred and George stood still, their wands raised in the direction of Emily and Sirius. "Why should we bring Harry into this?" Fred demanded scathingly, his greeny-blue eyes piercing through Emily like a knife, "Like I said. You want proof? Speak to my godson," Sirius replied, his voice calm. George was shaking with unexplainable rage, and Fred was livid.

Emily turned to face Sirius, "Two-way mirror," She said, and Sirius nodded and he left the room. Fred and George tensed, and Emily looked pleadingly at them when she faced them, "Please, you have to believe me. Sirius is no murderer," Emily whispered.

Sirius stumbled down the stairs with the mirror in his hand, "Here, you speak to him. He's in a mood with me after my comment last night," Sirius moaned, rolling his eyes.

Emily nodded and took the mirror in her own hands, "Em, what's wrong?" Harry asked, he could see the hurt and pain in her eyes, "Please, explain to Fred and George that Sirius is no murderer and that he wouldn't hurt me. Please Harry; we're depending on your words," Emily practically whispered, her voice pleading for Harrys' help. "Give them the mirror," Harry murmured.

"Take it. Harry would like to talk to you," Emily said, handing the mirror to Fred. Fred took the mirror from her with caution and looked deeply into it, "Fred, why don't you believe her? Isn't she your best friend?" Harry asked him, "Harry this is Sirius Black we're talking about, surely you don't believe the pair of them?" George asked, peering into the mirror.

"I believe them, and I'll tell you why. I was there when Ron was dragged into the shrieking shack. I was there when Lupin told us about his werewolf state and his friends becoming Animagi. I was there when I found out the truth – Sirius wasn't a Death Eater, and he didn't kill all those Muggles.

"It was Peter Pettigrew, a friend of his. It was Pettigrew who had told Voldemort that he was my parents' secret keeper. Pettigrew is the reason why I have no family. Not Sirius. Sirius is innocent, and you have to believe them. He's my godfather, and I'm proud that he is," Harry concluded, breathing in and out slowly.

"Oh Harry," Emily whispered. She never knew half of the stuff that he's just told Fred and George, and she felt touched at his speech to defend his last member of wizarding family. Fred exhaled noisily and he looked at George, who nodded.

"We believe you, Emily, Sirius, sorry for our judgements and wrong interpretations – we wish you both the best with your ah…relationship," and with this, they grinned, "Enjoy Christmas. We best be off,"

"We don't want Mum going mad,"

"Remember when we saved Harry from those Muggles and flew him all the way to The burrow?"

"Yes I do, good times eh?"

Fred and George smiled at Emily, who returned their smile with a warm one of her own. "We really are sorry Em. Will you forgive us?"

"Of course I will, and I'm sure Sirius will too," Emily grinned, "Have a great Christmas. Your gifts will be in your room, trust me," And she laughed.

"Well, I'm glad that's cleared up," Sirius yawned, stretching his arms when the twins flooed back home, "Me too. Merry Christmas," Emily murmured, blushing as she handed him his gift. Sirius gasped, "PRESENTS!" He yelled, sounding like a little kid.

"Oh Emmy you shouldn't have!" He cooed, ripping apart the paper. "Clothes?" He questioned, "Well…I didn't think that you'd want to stay in the same clothes, and having to wash them all the time…" She muttered, but was soon cut short with a warm embrace, "Thank you," Sirius whispered against her lips, "They're great,"

"Don't think I've forgotten you missy, wait right here," Sirius grinned, and he raced up the stairs, "Missy?" Emily mumbled, frowning.

"HAPPY CHRISTMAS FROM YOURS TRULY!" Sirius yelled from the stairs. Emily laughed amongst herself as Sirius entered the Common Room grinning widely. Waltzing over to her, he handed her two parcels that varied in shape. One was a small square-like package, and the other was a long, rectangular shape. "Sirius…really, you shouldn't have," Emily murmured, "I know I shouldn't have, but I did," He smirked, "Well, what are you waiting for? Open them!"
