Chapter 11- Maybe I'm Amazed
Disclaimer: Don't own, end of story
"Sirius would you PLEASE tell me whats going on??" Charolette said when they had apparated to the front of Hogwarts.
"Deatheaters and Dementors are here looking for you," he said almost casually as he set her down and began sprinting down the hallways towards gryffindor tower.
"WHAT?"
"You heard...and since your not here, they might try and take Emma."
Charolette's head spun, she felt instantly dizzy and nauseated. She fought it back and tried to gain her composure. She began to run after Sirius, trying to keep up.
They heard a loud scream and Charolette's heart skipped a beat. She knew that scream. She knew the scream from nights of waking up to nightmares and monster under the bed stories. She knew the scream from waking up to wailing tears and pouty lips. Oh gods why did she have to know that scream.

Harry woke with a start. He'd just heard a loud scream and pulled on his glasses, jumping out of bed. He grabbed his wand and ran down the stairs and up into the girls dorm.
A bunch of girls were running out of the room, screaming and crying. Harry felt a sudden sting of fear in his heart. Emma.
He rushed into the room and saw three large shadows leaning over one of the four poster beds. A tiny figure sat huddled on the bed, frozen with fright.
"Emma!" Harry called. The tiny figure moved and stared at him, glossy eyes glistening in the half moonlight.
Harry held out his wand. Happy thoughts...he thought...happy thoughts. He pictured Emma and him on the train, sleeping with their heads on eachothers shoulders, and the surprise it was when they woke up. He thought about her shining face and her bright smile, her twinkling blue eyes and her small perfect lips. Expecto patronum...expecto patronum...expecto patronum...
A large ghostly looking stag appeared out of the end of his wand and was sent charging at the dementors. The dementors recoiled and ran from the room and out of the castle into the night.
The stag turned to face Harry, beaming. Then it disapeered with a whisp of air from the open window.
Emma sat on the edge of her bed, breathing heavily, unsure of what to make of what just happened. Harry ran over to her and threw his arms around her.
"Harry..." she said softly, her voice wavering with sobs threatening to shake her.
"It's okay now, Emma...it's okay.." Harry whispered, holding her closer to him.
Charolette and Sirius burst into the room, both panting from running down the halls.
"Emma! oh thank gods.." Charolette said. Emma let go of Harry and ran to Charolette, hugging her tightly. Harry walked over to Sirius and gave him a strong hug.
"Good job Harry, I'm proud of you," Sirius said proudly.
~*~
Dumbledore had the Dementors who hadn't joined Voldemort come and take the deatheaters and the three dementors away to Azkaban.
Sirius held onto Charolette, his face buried in her hair.
"Sirius I'm so sorry I left...I feel so terrible...I just thought I was doing the right thing." Charolette said, turning to face him.
"Are you planning on staying this time?" Sirius said with a wink and smile.
Charolette smiled too. Her and her daughter were safe, for now anyways. But she doubted that the deatheaters would be by Hogwarts anytime soon.
As for Sirius, he still had to have his face cursed so no one could recognize him, but at least Charolette did. To her and him, that was all that mattered.
Charolette looked up into Sirius' eyes. Such a dark steel blue, so deep you could get lost for millions of years. His eyes were like the night sky, deep and full of mystery.
She stood up on her tiptoes and kissed him softly on the lips. He smiled and cupped her face in his hands, crushing his lips down on hers.
Emma and Harry stood by them, his arm around her waist, watching them.
"Well, this is going to be an interesting summer, eh?" Emma said, glancing up at Harry.
"Very interesting," he said with a smile, gazing down to look at Emma's sparkling eyes. "I can't wait till the wedding."
"What wedding?" Emma asked, her face bright with her smile.
"Oh I think you know," he said with a large grin.
Emma looked over at her mother and noticed Sirius placing a small silver band with a smooth fiery amber on it on Charolette's finger.
Her mother's smile said it all.
