AN: I made Lily and James get married a few months after they get out of school so about a year later would be when Harry is born and then they die(you all know the story). So Lily and James will get married in September, Get pregnant with harry in October, harry will be born in July and then Lily and James will die in October.

If I could tell the world just one thing,

it would be that we're all okay.

And not to worry because worry is wasteful and useless at times like these.

I wont be made useless,

in the idle in despair.

Get my self around my faith,

a light is the darkness' worst fear.

My hands are small I know,

but their not yours they are my own,

but their not yours they are my own,

and I am never broken.

Quality stole your golden shoes,

but didn't steel your laughter.

Heart ache came to visit me,

but I new it wasn't ever after.

We'll fight not out of spite.

But someone must stand up for what's right,

because were there's a man who has no voice

there I'll shall go seek.

Chapter 14- Another Question

Emily plopped down on her bed. She was so tired and worn from work. Sirius hadn't got home yet. He was never home. Emily wasn't mad, she was just upset. She never saw Sirius except for a few hours on weekends. and even then he was too tired to be with her. He had training at the ministry and then mini missions. When he came home during the week she was at work. She missed him a lot but knew that it was because of their jobs.

It was two in the morning when Sirius came home. Emily was up trying to finish an essay about healing dragon bites. Sirius walked into the kitchen and poured himself a drink. He turned around to see Emily sitting at the table.

"Hey luv" Sirius said sitting next to Emily. He had nothing but tiredness and weakness in his voice. Emily looked up at him and saw the many cuts on his face. Emily jumped to his aid.

"Sirius, what happened?" Emily said while getting a washcloth to clean his cuts.

"There was a raid tonight at a death eaters house. And lets just say things didn't go well" he said with effort. Emily cleaned his cuts one by one. When she was finished she took his face in her hands and stared into his eyes. "I miss you" she stated.

Sirius hugged her. "I've missed you too."

And so the pattern continued for months. They found out Lily was pregnant and that the would be the Godparents. They had been in The Order helping the best they could. Many of their friends had died trying to fight the death eaters.

"Lily he's adorable" exclaimed Emily.

"I know, he looks just like James"

"With your eyes" Emily finished looking at the baby before her.

The next two months Sirius and Emily would go to James' house and play with baby Harry. Emily had to admit things were starting to get better, Sirius was coming home more often.

Emily turned over, the clock said eight o'clock. She got out of the bed slowly trying not to disturb Sirius. She was surprised to see him, he usually is gone by the time she wakes up. It was a Sunday so maybe he wouldn't have to go to work today. She pulled on one of Sirius' shirts and went downstairs. She cracked some eggs and began to make breakfast.

Sirius turned to see Emily not laying next to him. The smell of bacon reached his noise and he jumped out of bed. He went downstairs and saw Emily in his shirt. She looked sexy he had to admit. He walked over to her and put his arms around her waist and put kisses on her neck. Emily didn't turn around, she continued to watch the bacon. "What are you thinking about?" Sirius asked between kisses.

"I'm worried about Lily and James." Sirius stopped kissing her and Emily turned around to look at him.

"Me too" he admitted. "Things are getting to dangerous for them."

"That's what I told Lily but she won't listen, she has a family now, and I don't want anything to happen to them."

Sirius just said me too. He wasn't sure what to say because he has talked to James about it a hundred times, but he won't listen.

"Babe we can work it out"

"Sirius we never see each other, ever!" Emily yelled. they were in one of their many arguments, always about the same thing. "I just wish we could see each other once in a while, the only time we are together is when I'm treating your wounds or we're sleeping."

"I know luv, but I've gotten better the last few months. There are only 2 months left until the training is over-"

"And then your a full time Auror. That's not any better."

"That's not fair"he said quietly. "You know I want to be a Auror as much as you want to be a Healer"

"I know but I just wish we could be together once in a while"

"All right, how's this sound. Next week I'll take off and you and me will go to that country house in Ireland. No one around to bother us, just you and me." Emily smiled at Sirius.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course"

"You promise?"

"I do" he said leaning in to kiss her.

Emily and Sirius had been at the country house for five days and not once did they fight. Emily felt that they really needed this vacation.

Emily and Sirius were laying in bed. Sirius was on top of Emily his head resting on her stomach. He turned to look at her while she ran her fingers through his hair. "I've been thinking" he said nervously, "You see, I really love you-"

"You better" Emily said jokingly. He smiled nervously.

"Well, I have this question to ask you-" Sirius was cut off by a knock on the bedroom door. Sirius looked at Emily in complete shock. They were both thinking the same thing. Who got the address and the first thing that ran through their heads were Death Eaters. Sirius threw on a pair of pants and grabbed his wand. Emily grabbed Sirius' robe and put it on and she too took out her wand. Sirius open the door quickly and yelled Stupefy. The wizard on the other side of the door jumped out of the way. "Whoa, watch it!" James yelled.

"James your so lucky, I could have killed you" Sirius yelled.

"Your just paranoid" James argued.

"Why are you here?" Sirius asked suspiciously.

"Oh" James looked more serious now. "I need to talk to you." Emily went and sat on the bed and Sirius closed the bedroom door. James and Sirius stepped outside to talk. James explained to Sirius all about the prophecy made about Harry. He explained that his family were going into hiding for a while and that Dumbledore wanted someone he trusted to be the secret keeper. "That's were you come in," James said. "I want you to be my secret keeper, I trust you with my life" he finished. Sirius agreed of course and then James left to get back to Lily. Sirius entered the bedroom. He told Emily everything that James had told him.

"I agreed, I'm gonna be their secret keeper" he told her. They fought about it. Emily said that they would be in hiding forever because Voldemort would be around forever. Lily and James were their best friends so eventually Sirius won the fight. They talked some more about it and decided that Emily would go into hiding to. Voldemort would know that Sirius is the secret keeper so he'll go after Emily. They decided that Emily would stay at the Ireland house and Sirius would go to a flat that Dumbledore had prepared.

Sirius finished packing his clothes in a duffle bag. He walked to the front door, opened it and set down his bag. Emily walked over to him. She had tear stains on her cheeks from were she had been crying. He cupped her face in his hands and kissed her. "Don't worry, everything will be okay, I promise." He smiled at her and she tried to smile back. As he walked down the lawn (towards the Portkey that James had left for him), he turned around and said "when I get back, I'll finish my question" He said with a big smile on his face. With that he touched the Portkey and disappeared. Emily knew what the question was but she had a bad feeling in her gut, telling her Sirius would never get a chance to ask that question.

Take a look in my face for the last time,

I never knew you,

You never knew me.

Say 'hello-good bye'.

Say hello and wave goodbye.
