AN: I've been forgetting to put my DISCLAIMERS up so I just want to say that I don't own anything you recognize and everyone knows that. I would also like to thank Fawks for reviewing and I'm sorry that the lyrics bother you but I love music and it inspires me in everything. The lyrics I use usually tell the story in some way.


Sail away with me honey

I put my heart in you hands

Sail away with me honey now, now, now

Sail away with me

what will be, will be

I wanna hold you now

Crazy skies all above me now

Winter howling at my face

Everything I held so dear disappeared without a trace

-David Gray


Chapter 9- Sail Away


The door bell rang.

"I've got it mum" Emily called. Emily walked to the door and pulled it open. Who she saw made her jaw drop.

"Hello there" he greeted. It was the man from the other night, the man that gave her the necklace. Suddenly three million thoughts raced through her head. How does he know were I live? Did he follow me? Does he want to kill me? Why did mom seem shocked to see the necklace? Where have I seen that face? Suddenly Emily started to put everything together.


Marie's POV

I was surprised to see the necklace. The necklace was his mothers, he always talked about how he planned on giving it to her. I should have known he wouldn't have listened to me. Does she know?

The door bell rang.

"I've got it mum" Emily said. 'No' I thought, 'It's him'. I didn't react fast enough because before I knew it he was standing in the doorway smiling at her. The only thing that raced through my head was 'Don't let me loose her'.


"Are you-" I said hesitantly "Are you-" Before I finished my sentence mum came and tried to push him out the door. "No mum wait" I said quietly not breaking eye contact with the man in the door. Mom backed away slowly knowing she couldn't stop the situation about to unfold. "You're him, you're the man in the picture-" he smiled brighter "Your my dad" I said slowly. When I finished this sentence it dawned on me. The man in front of me, he's my dad, the dad that died before I was born. He is my dad.
Dan's POV

She knows who I am. I can tell by the look in her eyes. Didn't she know I'd come and find her soon. I'm surprised she didn't get it the other night. She's beautiful. She has my face and eyes. She's absolutely in" I said still staring at him. That face it was so much like my own. He entered the house and put his coat and hat on the coat hanger. We sat down on the couch. Mom stayed back and observed, she kept her distance. She told me he was dead. She lied to me.


"Your not dead" I said reassuringly.

He chuckled "No I'm not, what would give you that idea-" he started, gradually his smile faded. "She told you I was died?" He asked quietly. Mom looked extremely sad. Her secret was discovered. "I'll leave you to talk" she said and backed out of the room.

"She told me you died before I was born, she said you died in a muggle accident." I said.

Dan shook his head "No, your mother and I were so happy together, at least that's what I thought. When you were born that only boosted the excitement-" he was getting lost in memories "That day I held you, you were so tiny. You were crying so much" he chuckled "When I held you, you just stopped crying. You squeezed my finger and stared into my eyes. I knew I loved you at that moment." a sad look over came his face. "The next day I went out to buy your mother flowers and find you an outfit for when you left the hospital, I came home and tidied the house, and when I got to the hospital to pick you and your mother up, she was gone. The doctor said she checked out early that morning. I searched for you for years and I finally gave up."

I was so angry that mom had lied to me. I was so angry that she had taken me away from my father.

"When you turned 11 I knew you'd go to a wizarding school so I started checking all of them in Europe, not once thinking that You're mother had moved to America. Albus Dumbledore, your headmaster told me when you had registered at the school. I was afraid to seek you out at first. I thought you would be mad at me. I wrote to your mother and told her that I wanted to see you-"

"I remember-" I interjected "She kept saying she was stressed or I would find her reading something or having strange conversations with George."

"Yeah, Her and George visited me last week. She wanted to pay me to leave you all alone. I guess she thought I agreed when I didn't answer". He smiled at me. "Your still wearing the necklace."

I smiled back "Yeah, it's beautiful".

He smiled again. "It was my mothers. I planned on giving it to you when you got older, and when I saw you on the street the other day I couldn't resist."

"Did you plan that?" I asked.

He grinned "Yes, I did. I just wanted to see what you were like before I met you."

"Sounds like something I would do" I smirked.

"Speaking of the other night, who was the charming young man you were with."

I smiled a real big smile at the mention of Sirius. Then I remembered how rude Sirius had acted towards him. I didn't want him to hate Sirius like mom and George did. "His name is Sirius, He's my boyfriend".

"Is it serious?" he asked.

"Yeah, I think it is, were happy together" I said smiling. "Mom doesn't like him".

"Why is that?"

"She believes everything his parents say. His parents hate him. They abuse him and he ran away earlier this year so mom and George say he's trouble. But he's not, he's a great guy and he has great morals and he's just soo perfect."

"Sounds like love" Dan chimed. Emily paused. Was I in love? Do I love Sirius? I've never thought about it. He's everything I have ever wanted, but did I love him?

"So" Dan said interrupting my thoughts "Tell me what I've missed the last 16 years". For the rest of the night Me and Dan talked about everything. I told him about Nana and how George and I hated each other. I told him about Hogwarts and my friends. He told me about his lonely life in search for me. He didn't say he was lonely but I know he was. He did tell me some interesting stories, all about how he kept busy. He would do silly pranks to wizards and pranks on muggles. I know, it sounds immature but he's my dad and I could care less.


After my dad, left that night, me and mom got in a fight. She didn't have much of an argument, so I was mostly yelling at her the entire night. George tried to shut me up but mom said to leave us alone(me and her). Me and mom aren't talking anymore but Dan has been coming over every night to hang out and get pizza and we'd talk till morning.
AN: What do you think about Dan? Dont forget to review!
