AN: Even though this is not possible at all, I'm going to make Emily 27ish. I just think that 30 is kind of old for my character or for Sirius, so I wanted to make them younger. I know it's not possible but Just go along with it. And the song 'you were meant for me' by Jewel inspired this chapter, if you haven't noticed.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything you recognize, it all belongs to J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros. And the song below belongs to Jewel.
I hear the clock its 6 am
I feel so far from were I've been
I've got my eggs, I've got my pancakes too,
I've got my maple syrup,
everything but you.
I break the yokes and make a smiling face,
I kinda like it in my brand-new place.
Responsible, don't leave the keys in the door,
I never put wet towels on the floor anymore cause
Dreams last so long.
Even after your gone,
I know that you love me and soon you will see,
you were meant for me and I was meant for you
I called my mama she was out for a walk.
Consoled a cup of coffee, but it didn't want to talk.
So I picked up the paper it was more bad news
my hearts been broken, people been used.
Put on my coat in the pouring rain.
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same, cause it was happy, or I was sad,
and it made me miss you oh so bad cause
Dreams last so long.
Even after your gone,
I know that you love me and soon you will see,
you were meant for me and I was meant for you
I go about my business,
yeah I'm doing fine,
besides what would I say if I had you online
same old story, not much to say
hearts are broken everyday
I brush my teeth I put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick a book up and then I turn the sheets down and then I take a deep breathe
Put on my pj's and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try to tell myself it will all be alright I just shouldn't think anymore tonight cause
Dreams last so long.
Even after your gone,
I know that you love me and soon you will see,
you were meant for me and I was meant for you

CHAPTER 1-You were meant for me
Emily woke up to the buzzing of her clock. She stirred and turned towards the clock. It read six a.m. She sat up and yawned, and then rubbed the sleep out of her eyes as she made her way to the bathroom. She splashed her face with cold water from the tap, and starred at her reflection on the mirror. She hadn't changed much from her Hogwarts years. She still had the same long dark hair, only difference is now she had bangs that fell just in her eyes and her hair wasn't as long, it only fell just below her shoulders. Emily was lucky when it came to aging, she still had her fair skin and good complexion that she had 10 years ago. Her skin was much tanner than it used to be because of the Australian sun. Emily looked around the bathroom. It was clean. She smiled to herself, when she lived with Sirius he would alway get mad at her for leaving wet towels on the floor or not putting the cap back on the toothpaste. She tried not to think about Sirius if she could help it, she told her self he was a thing in the past and it didn't matter anymore. That didn't stop her from missing him.
Emily decided to go for a jog, still in her pajama pants and wife-beater. She put on her sneakers and tied them tight. Emily locked the door and then started her jog. She ran on the beach for about an hour and when rain clouds started to form overhead, she began home. When she got to the house she stripped down to her nickers and rinsed off under the outside shower. She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself.
After she had put on a pair of pants and a t-shirt she walked down stairs and into the kitchen. She took out her frying pan and began making eggs. This would be the time that Sirius would walk up behind her and give her a hug, and tell her 'how great her food smelt' she thought to herself. Today was like any other but for some reason she was thinking about Sirius more than ever. She wondered what he was doing know, or if he was thinking about her. Emily sat down at the table and looked out the window, it was beginning to rain hard 'Good' she thought to herself, there hasn't been a good rain in weeks. She picked at her eggs when an owl swooped in the window and dropped a newspaper.
"You're late" She mumbled to the owl while sipping her coffee. The owl chirped and flew out the window. Emily casually opened the paper and began reading it. She was about seven pages in, there was an article about The Triwizard Tournament. Emily's mouth dropped as she read on, the article said that the dark mark had been placed in the sky and that death eaters had messed around with muggles and destroyed camp grounds. Things weren't going so well in England. Harry was in England. Sirius was in England.
Emily went to her office in a nearby village. There were already some people in the waiting room. She greeted them and then went to the back rooms. Rick was in the back, he was taking a little boys temperature. "Hello" she greeted warmly. Rick greeted Emily and then began giving her instructions on what to do, she got to work quickly.
Around mid afternoon Rick went over to Emily and asked, "Em, is their something bothering you?"
Emily sighed in frustration. "Yes" she stated, "I heard some bad news, about my hometown."
"Is everything alright?" Rick asked concerned.
"No. I'm just getting distracted, I'll get back to work-"
"Why don't you take the rest of the day off?"Rick asked. Emily smiled at him, she would really like sometime off. She got up and kissed Rick on the cheek and said thank you. The theater in town was playing 'The Three Stooges', and Emily decided to watch that to take her mind off things. She sat through most of the movie, but it didn't take her mind off things. She missed Sirius more than ever, and she knew she could be with him again. But it wouldn't be forever, it would only be for a little while and she couldn't let her heart be broken again. It was getting late, Emily decided to go home. On her way home it began to rain. Perfect, she thought, the rain described how she felt; miserable.
When Emily arrived home she put her pajamas on and went to the bathroom to wash her face. She walked into her bedroom and pulled down her sheets. She laid down and took a deep breathe, 'what a day' she thought to herself. She turned off the lights and placed her head down. She began to think about Sirius and old memories, she didn't feel complete without him. She didn't want to live the rest of her life without him. 'It'll be okay' she told herself 'I just shouldn't think anymore tonight.'
Sirius and Harry had been looking through old photo albums all afternoon.
Harry stared at a picture that had Sirius and a girl in it. Sirius was giving the girl a piggy back ride, and they both were making silly faces. Their tongues were sticking out and their eyes crossed making their faces look distorted. They were laughing and seemed really close.
"Who's that?" Harry asked pointing to the picture of Sirius and the girl. Sirius turned to look at the picture. It was Emily. He gulped and stared hard. Old memories resurfaced and Sirius began to feel depressed. Harry stared at his godfather. He could tell, Sirius knew the girl and it pained him.
Remus observed from the doorway. He had hoped that Harry wouldn't ask that question, it would only hurt Sirius in the end. When Sirius didn't answer, Remus answered for him. "Her name is Emily" Remus said. Both Sirius and Harry spun around. Sirius looked at the floor ashamed. Harry looked at Remus confused. "She was Sirius' girlfriend-"
"She was more than that-" Sirius said loudly. "I loved her" he said more quietly. Harry realized now wouldn't be a good time to ask questions.
"I'm going to go see what Ron's up to, I'll see you later" Harry said exiting the room. After Harry left the room, Sirius looked up at Remus "I miss her" he said.
"Me too" Remus said quietly. They hadn't talked about Emily in forever. Sirius asked Remus once where Emily was and what she had been doing while he was in Azkaban. Remus told Sirius that no one knows what happened to her and no one has been in contact with her. However he didn't tell him about her being pregnant. Sirius looked down at the floor again, "I still love her" he said tears forming in his eyes. Remus didn't get to react because Sirius left the room wanting to be alone. Remus knew he had to help his friend, he would have to find Emily.
