When I look into your eyes I can see your love restrained

darling when I hold you, don't you know I feel the same

nothing lasts forever and we both know hearts can change

and its hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain.

Been through this such a long, long, time just trying to kill the pain.

No one ever comes and no one ever goes and no one's really sure how it'll go today.

When you get the time to lay it on the line, I can rest my head just knowing you were mine,

all mine.

But if you want to love me then darling don't refrain,

we always end up walking in the cold November rain.

Do you need sometime on your own.

Do you need some time all alone.

Everybody needs sometime on their own.

Don't you know you need some time all alone.

I know its hard to keep an open heart,

even when friends seem out to harm you,

but if you could heal a broken heart,

wouldn't time be out to charm you.

Sometimes I need some time on my own.

Sometimes I need some times all alone.

Everybody needs some time on their own.

Don't you know you need some time all alone.

And when you feel inside, and shadows still remain.

I know that you can love me when there's no one left to blame.

So never mind the darkness we still can find a way,

nothing lasts forever even cold November rain.

Chapter 15- The Trial

It had only been four days since Sirius had left. Emily missed him so much and wished on anything that he could be with her right now. Emily was laying on her bed staring at the ceiling lost in her thoughts. She was interrupted by a knock on the door. It was ten in the morning, the only person that would show up that late was Sirius. She ran to the door hoping to find Sirius behind it but instead a friendly wizard stared back at her.

"Dumbledore? What are you doing here?" Emily asked baffled.

"I've got some disturbing news." He stated while entering the house and taking a seat at the table.

"Please sit down" he said. Emily looked at him confused and sat down. Dumbledore went into a detailed description about how the Potters chose Sirius as their secret keeper and about the night events and about Sirius killing the muggle's and Peter.

Silent tears went down Emily's cheeks. "That couldn't be. He wouldn't do that."

"It's true Emily, I wish it wasn't, but it is." He said sadly. "I must go tend to other business. take care of your self Emily." Dumbledore smiled and left.

Emily didn't know what to do, it seemed like a bad dream. After walking around the house lost in thought Emily decided to go see Remus.

Remus was starring at some neighborhood kids playing a muggle sport in the street. It amazed him how happy these kids were, had only they known that hours before Remus had lost his best friends. Remus noticed a pretty girl walking towards the house, her sweater wrapped around herself tightly. Emily, he thought. He opened the front door and stepped outside. She stopped about twenty feet away from him and looked up. They stared into each other eyes. They knew how the other felt, their worlds torn from them hours before. They met in the middle and hugged one another. Remus hugged Emily and lifted her from the ground, when he set her down they stayed hugging for a while. They both cried, Remus not as much as Emily. When they went in the house they talked for hours. Emily kept saying that she doesn't think that Sirius did it. She said that Sirius loved his friends and would never hurt them. Remus got tired of hearing it and yelled at her to stop and face the facts, Sirius had killed their best friends. He apologized for yelling at her, but Emily didn't care it didn't change her mind, she knew it wasn't Sirius.

Later that day Dumbledore stopped by.

"So where is Harry exactly?" Emily asked.

"He's going to stay with his aunt. It's for his own good Emily. He will be safe as long as he stays there. And I don't want him to leave their till he's eleven, when he comes to Hogwarts."

"I guess that's not bad." Em said sadly. "I'll just visit him everyday."

"I'm afraid not. I don't think it's a good idea."

"Why not?" Emily asked angrily.

"Think about it, if your in his life, he'll want to know who his godfather is or what happened to his parents and you'll have to explain to him that your boyfriend betrayed his parents. I'm not blaming you but that's how it will look to him. But you can make the decision." Emily knew Dumbledore was right. She should just stay out of his life.

"But we don't even know if Sirius is going to Azkaban-" Emily interjected.

"The trail is tomorrow, and I'm sorry to say Em, but his chances are slim to none." Dumbledore said. Emily had a good feeling about this, they would know that he would never betray his best friends. They would see his innocence.

Emily spent the night at Remus' house, but she didn't sleep. She wanted to see Sirius more than anything. The next morning Emily was reading the paper. It was about the celebrations of Voldemort being gone and Sirius blacks trial.

"You ready to go?" Remus asked.

"Yeah" Emily nervously.

Emily got a seat in the center of the pews, she sat in-between Remus and Dumbledore. The room began to fill. The minister of magic took his seat at the top desk. When everyone was quiet and seated the minister said to bring him in. Emily looked around trying to find Sirius. Suddenly the doors opened and two dementors lead Sirius to the front of the room and sat him in a chair. On his way he briefly looked at Emily, he mouthed 'I love you'. He looked worn like he had experienced too much in the last 2 days. Sirius sat down in the chair, before he said anything Mr Crouch said:

"Sirius Black, we have reviewed your case and decided that there is no use of a trial. All the evidence points to you and thereby I condemn you to a life sentence in Azkaban prison." My heart dropped. Sirius was in shock. And the crowd cheered. I looked to Remus, but he looked away. I looked to Dumbledore and he stared back. I didn't need to ask, he thought Sirius was guilty too. The dementors lifted Sirius out of the chair, he tried to resist but he was no match to them. As they pulled him down the aisle he searched for my head in the crowd. I ran to the front and tried to get a last view of him. When he spotted, me, tears flowing down my cheeks, he frantically yelled "It wasn't me Em,"...."Emily, I love you, It wasn't me."

I cried even harder and yelled, "I know Sirius, I know, I love you, I love you so much." and then he was gone. I fell to my knees and cried like a baby. I cried for James, I cried for Lily, but most of all I cried for Sirius. I didn't care that people gave me nasty looks. To them I was the murders girlfriend, I was the girl who stood by my boyfriend after he killed my best friends. Finally Remus came up to me he helped me off the ground and we went back to his flat. We didn't talk for the rest of the day or night for that matter. Remus tried but I wouldn't talk to him.
