AN: I can't remember when exactly Sirius ran away from home but I'm going to pretend that its in their sixth year.

Chapter 6-Home Again

Since Emily got home the only thing she could think about was Sirius. She liked him a lot but she knew she'd get hurt somehow if she ever dated him. Plus who's to say he likes her back. But then again he treats her different than the other girls. He makes her feel special.

"Me and your mother are going out we'll be back a little after midnight"

"Okay, whatever" I said trying to ignore him.

"Don't do anything stupid" he added on his way out the door.

'I Didn't plan too' I thought to myself. Since I got home moms been going places with George. She hasn't spent any time with me. And come to think of it she hasn't even spoken to me much. Not even five minutes after mom and George left, Lily and James came falling into my living room from the fireplace. I jumped at the start.

"Hey Ems" Lily said

"Hey guys, were's Sirius" I asked looking towards the fireplace.

"Oh his mom locked him in his house they've been fighting all week."

I had a disappointed look on my face. I really would have liked to see him. Lily, James, and I went to James' house. James' parents weren't home so we were going to hang out and play exploding snap. There was a really bad storm and it was raining real hard. A while into the game Lily and James went upstair to 'talk' and I sat Down stairs and listened to the storm raging outside.

The door bell rang and James had no intension to come down and answer it so I took upon myself to answer it. When I opened the door Sirius was staring back at me. He had a big bruise on his left eye, and a cut that was bleeding above his right. He was staring at me looking like the most miserable person in the world. He was shaking from the coldness of the rain. That's when I helped him in. There were some fresh towels in the laundry basket near the steps. I grabbed a towel and handed it to him. The whole time I just stared at him. He was so wet and his cheeks were tear stained. I couldn't believe Sirius had been crying.

"Are you okay?" I asked quietly still staring into his eyes. He looked ashamed, he didn't want his eyes to meet mine. He answered me by shaking his head no. I couldn't help it so I hugged him. He didn't know how to react at first but then he rested his head on my shoulder and hugged me harder. I could tell he wanted so badly to cry but he held it in. After a few minute we walked into the hall bathroom(we still didn't say anything to each other). He sat up on the counter in the bathroom and (not having my wand with me) I took out the first aid kit and started cleaning out his cut. He stared into my eyes as I did this.

"How did this happen?". He broke off our eye contact and stared towards the floor.

"My dad" he said in a whisper.

"He hit you?" I said sympathetically. He shook his head yes still staring at the floor. I put my hand up to his cheek and starred into his eyes. Gradually we moved closer and closer till our faces were an inch apart. Then he leaned in to kiss me and I could feel his breathe and just before our lips touched James called my name and we quickly separated, and two seconds later James and Lily came running into the bathroom.

"Em, jeez, we thought something happened to you-Oh, Sirius, hey man." James said surprised to see Sirius. "What happened to your face"

"My dad" He answered with a grin. It amazed me how he could hide all his feelings from his friends so well. "I ran away"-I stared at him in disbelief- "and I was hoping I could stay with you" he told James.

"Of course...Lily and I'll make some food why Don't you and Em go to my room, find some clothes for you, and then she can clean you up." he said hurriedly and ran off with Lily to make some food. Sirius and I went up to James room. I went through James' closet until I found jeans and a T-shirt. when I turned around Sirius had his shirt off. I walked over to him and gave him the clothes I went to turn away to leave the room when Sirius grabbed my hand, "I'll see you down stairs" he said with a smile. I returned the smile and left the room.

The rest of the night went by and Sirius told us how when him and his dad got in the fight. Sirius was just eating his dinner when his dad started getting on his back about muggle and how Sirius is a screw up until Sirius had, had enough and left the table. His dad thought this was disrespectful and started yelling again and when Sirius yelled back his father started throwing him around and punching him. James went to walk Lily home and me and Sirius stayed on the couch. I was sitting against the arm of the couch and Sirius had his head in my lap. He told me all this stuff his mother and father had done to him when he was little. He practically poured his life story out to me. Eventually we fell asleep on the couch together. A while later Sirius woke me up.

"Em...Em..it's 5 in the morning" I popped up with a start. " We fell asleep...I wasn't sure if you needed to get home"

"I do, damn my parents are going to kill me" I said trying to get all my stuff as fast as I could. So me and Sirius ran to my house. the lights were on in the kitchen. I started up the stairs wait Sirius' hand in mine.

"Emily Demintrov!" Georges voice bellowed. I walked into the kitchen with Sirius right behind me. George and Mom looked worried and pissed and really surprised to see...Sirius. "Who's this?" my mother asked pointing to Sirius.

"I'm Sirius" He said extending his hand to shake my mothers but she just glared at him.

"I've heard of you, You're that Black boy, nothing but trouble."

"Shut it George" I retorted.

"Emily" Mother yelled.

"And where have you been young lady? huh? having sex with Mr. Black?" he said accusingly.

"No I was-"

"There's no excuses, you weren't supposed to leave the house and you do so without my permission, you have sex with this..this...boy and all on Christmas Eve, you should-"

"You're not my father you stupid git, I hate you-"

"Emily that's enough-" mom tried to cut off

"And you..your supposed to be my mother but you always defend him-this two faced ignorant-"

I didn't get to finish my insult because George had slapped me. Mom didn't even get fazed she thought I deserved it. Sirius went to step up to my defenses but George pushed him and told him to get out of the house before he called his parents. I ran up to my room the first chance I got. When I got up there Sirius was throwing pebbles at my window. I opened it and climbed out. Sirius and I ran over to the park were we spent the rest of the morning talking. I couldn't wait to go back to school. Around eight that morning I went back home and Sirius went to James'. Mom and George were even more mad. They punished me for the rest of vacation and I refused to speak to them. Every time they left I would owl Sirius or Lily and Remus came over twice.
