The students were all sent to their common rooms, and the feast was transported to them. The Gryffindor common room was filled with many noises. People were eating, and celebrating Halloween, others were deep in conversation about what happened earlier. Emily was sitting at a round table with Parker, Rosie, Kelly, Andrew and Grant. They were all eating some candy and listening as Emily read out loud a letter she had just received from Sirius.
Dear Emily,
I'm glad you are enjoying school, but I have heard some news that the death eaters are going to head to Hogsmeade. I'll be leaving in the morning to head that way. Emily, what do you mean you found a girl named Rosie who has a father named Bob? Are you positive, what was his mother's name? Emily please tell me what you know about Bob and his daughter. Emily, you're father really misses you, please forgive him. Ah, I have to go. Urgent business. Remus would say hi, but it's a full moon.
Love,
Grandpa Sirius
"What does he mean it's a full moon?" Kelly asked.
"Remus is a werewolf," Emily replied, reading the letter to herself.
"Why didn't they get here in time if he knew the death eaters were heading this way?" Rosie asked.
"Don't know, but if they knew, then maybe he's here!" Emily said, jumping up from the chair.
"Yeah, but how do you expect to get out of here, the teachers are all on guard," Andrew pointed out.
"I've got this," Emily said, taking out her invisibility cloak. "So who wants to come with me?"
"What is that? It looks like a cloak, but it's all shiny and stuff," Grant asked. Emily rolled her eyes.
"I want to come," Rosie replied. Emily was about to cover them up when Parker said he'd like to come too.
"Can we fit three though?" Emily asked.
"Try it," Kelly suggested. Emily put the cloak over the three and slowly made their way to the portrait hole. The new defense against the Dark Arts teacher was standing guard outside. They snuck past him, without him noticing.
"Ouch! That was my foot!" Rosie hissed.
"Sorry," Parker whispered.
"Will you two be quiet? I hear something!" Emily said, poking them in the ribs. They both glared at her and rubbed their ribs.
"There's nothing here," Parker said.
"It's a snake," Emily replied.
"You're a Parslemouth?" Rosie asked. Emily nodded and searched the empty corridor. There was the smallest of smallest snakes, slithering across the floor.
"You will pay! I will be the most powerful in the world and I will show you all!" It hissed. Emily held her breath as it slithered past her and down the hall. When it was well out of ear shot Emily started walking again.
"We have got to warn everyone about that snake," Emily said.
"Why?" Rosie asked.
"Its' so tiny, it could find it's way into any room and kill everyone in it!" Emily replied. Rosie turned pale at the thought of that. Parker kept silent all the way to Dumbledore's office. Emily whispered the password, threw off the cloak and walked inside. Parker and Rosie followed on her heels. Emily didn't even knock on the door. She burst right in on McGonagall, Snape, Flitwick, Sirius, Remus, and her father.
"What are you doing here?" McGonagall demanded.
"A snake Professor! It's going to kill us all!" Emily gasped, clutching a stitch in her side.
"What do you mean?" McGonagall asked.
"When Dumbledore disappeared I saw a tiny snake go into a crack in the wall, and it said we'd all be sorry and that it's going to be the most powerful wizard in the world. Was Dumbledore an Amigaus?" Emily asked. (I know I spelt it wrong, and I don't feel like looking it up, so deal with it!)
"Not that I know of, you don't think he's the snake?" McGonagall asked.
"I do," Emily replied. McGonagall ordered Flitwick to do something that Emily couldn't hear. Flitwick left the office and rushed down the stairs. Emily looked at Sirius and saw that he was staring at Rosie with and odd look on his face. Parker stood still in the entranceway, quiet as a mouse. Emily turned to look at her father; she caught a glimpse of a shiny gold ring on his finger. She felt like crying at that moment, but bit her lip instead.
"Now, may I ask how you got here without being seen?" McGonagall asked.
"We just kind of slipped past everyone," Emily lied. Snape looked at Emily angrily.
"Probably the same way Potter got through everything," He spat. Harry chose to ignore this and turned to face Emily. He smiled at her, but Emily turned away.
"Well I'll let you have some time alone with your daughter, Severus why are you looking like that?" She asked.
"Minerva, they're calling," Snape said and lifted up his sleeve. Emily gasped, Rosie, and Parker gasped.
"Be careful," McGonagall said and left, closely followed by Snape.
"I think I'll leave you alone," Remus said.
"Bye Remus," Emily said quietly. Remus patted her on the head and went to wait outside. Emily refused to look at her father and turned to Sirius.
"I got your letter," Emily said. "And this is Rosie." Emily grabbed Rosie by the arm and pulled her forward. Rosie stared at him for a minute.
"I've seen you before," She said after a few minutes.
"And where might that have been?" He asked.
"My Dad has a picture of my Grandma and a man that looks just like you. It was on their wedding day," Rosie replied.
"Who was your Grandmother?" Sirius asked.
"Annie Martin," Rosie said. Sirius looked like he could have cried. He pulled Rosie into a hug and Rosie hugged him back, looking a little confused.
"Annie was my wife, before I got sent to Azkaban. I told her to never tell Bob about me," He replied when he pulled away from the hug. Rosie threw her arms around him and hugged him again. Emily smiled, but when she caught her father's eye, she quickly looked away.
"Emily, I almost forgot you," Sirius said, pulling Emily into a hug.
"It's ok, Grandpa Sirius," Emily said and hugged him back. Harry looked longingly at his daughter, but didn't say anything.
"Talk to him," Sirius whispered in her ear. Emily didn't reply. "Rosie, come and tell me all about yourself. Parker why don't you come too." Parker shrugged and followed Sirius and Rosie out of the office.
"Emily," Harry said when they left. Emily felt like she would cry. She longed to be in her father's arms again, but her anger was too strong.
"Why'd you marry her?" Emily demanded, moving out of her father's reach.
"Emily, I've told you, I fell in love," Harry said softly.
"So Mommy wasn't good enough for you?" Emily yelled.
"Emily! I loved your Mother, but she's been dead for six years. Nothing will take her place," Harry said.
"Something already has! And I refuse to come home!" Emily replied, tears falling freely from her eyes. She then turned from the room, dropping the cloak on the floor. She pushed open the doors, almost knocking Parker down the stairs.
"Emily! Where you going?" Parker yelled after her. Emily didn't answer, she just ran out of the office and out down the halls. Harry picked up the cloak and looked sadly after his retreating daughter.
"She'll come around sometime," Remus said comfortingly.
"You're father's cloak," Sirius said.
"How did she get it?" Harry asked.
"Hedwig dropped it on us tonight," Parker replied.
"She's one smart bird," Harry said. "Will you bring this back to her?"
"Sure, say hi to my parents for me," Parker said, taking the cloak from Harry.
"I will," Harry said. "Come on, we'll walk you guys back to the common room." They walked in silence down the halls, with an occasional word between Sirius and Rosie. They were halfway to the common room when they heard a scream.
"Emily!" Harry yelled and dashed down the hall. The others followed him.
***
Emily ran down the hall, not noticing where she was going. She found herself in the same hallway where she had heard those voices a couple of weeks ago. She stopped and leaned against a wall.
"I hate him! I hate him," She muttered over and over to herself.
"Oh, little Potter hates big Potter," A man in a black cloak, said. Emily looked up.
"Where'd you come from?" she asked.
"That's not important. The important thing is that I bring you back to the Master," He said, reaching to grab Emily.
"Leave me alone!" She yelled, pulling out her wand.
"You think you can find a full grown dark wizard?" He said, highly amused. Emily felt her stomach tie up in knots. He laughed evilly and pulled out his wand. He pointed it at Emily. Emily screamed, as she was knocked unconscious. The man picked her up and brought her into a doorway.

"Did you hear that?" Kelly asked, jumping up from the chair.
"No what did you hear?" Andrew asked. Grant looked up from his magazine.
"I heard someone scream, but it doesn't seem to be coming from this room," Kelly replied.
"Are you a psycho?" Grant asked.
"I think you mean psychic," Andrew said.
"Oh," Grant said and blushed.
"I think it was Emily," Kelly said ignoring Andrew and Grant.
"What?" Grant and Andrew said in unison.
"Emily's in trouble!" Kelly said dashing for the portrait hole. Andrew and Grant looked at each other, then rushed after Kelly.
"You can't go, stay in your common room," The DADA teacher said. Kelly ignored him and rushed down the hall. Andrew and Grant ran out, knocking him over.
"Sorry!" They muttered and ran after Kelly. Kelly stopped in an empty hallway and opened a few doors.
"Kelly what are you doing?" Andrew asked. Kelly held her finger up to her lips and silenced them. She then took out her wand and walked into a door. Andrew and Grant followed, taking out their wands as well. They found themselves in a dark dungeon, with Death Eaters guarding the entrance to the only other door in it. Kelly screamed as the death eater closest to her pointed his wand at her.
A/N: So what'd you think? I'm getting really interested in this story now. But it's taking me awhile to think of what's going to happen in each chapter.
