Chapter 3-Going Home
Sirius was at Grimmauld Place. He had been cleaning all week. The first Order meeting would be in 3 days. Remus has been stopping in to check on Sirius but then Remus would leave to persuade more people to fight against Voldemort. Sirius hated his old house. He hated the memories that came back to him when he entered rooms.
Sirius was sweeping the front hall when there came a noise from the kitchen fireplace. The house was dark considering it was ten at night. Nobody was supposed to be here and Dumbledore and Remus would be coming tomorrow. Suddenly a figure entered the hall dressed in a black cloak that cover their body and face. Sirius hid behind a wall, so he could attack the stranger without their knowing. The stranger moved around the hall slowly. When they had their back towards Sirius, he took the opportunity to grab them from behind. The stranger tensed when Sirius grabbed them but otherwise didn't struggle. Sirius realizing it was a woman he had in front of him and noticing the lack of resistance, began to remove his arms from her. The stranger turned around and removed her hood. It was Emily. She smirked at Sirius, and he smiled joyously at her before picking her up and twirling her on the spot.
"I'm glad you came" Sirius stated. They smiled at each other.
"Me too" Emily said, and they kissed each other. The kiss was short and sweet but it brought back a decade of memories.
The rest of the week went smooth. Emily and Sirius were together again but they took it slow, neither wanted to get hurt. Molly and Arthur were delighted to see Emily. Well not so much Molly. She acted so on the outside but on the inside she was furious with the way Emily handled her situation ten years ago. Otherwise everyone was happy to see Em and everything seemed to be going well. Sirius had already told Harry about his godmother, so when Harry joined everyone at Grimmauld place, he wasn't surprised to see the girl from the pictures. Harry and Em hit it off right away. It pained Em to see Harry. He reminded her of his parents, and the past. Harry liked Em and thought she was a cool adult to hang around with.
Emily became friends with Harry and his friends mainly because her and Sirius were 'so cool'. One night Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, Emily and Sirius played Man Hunt in the house. They were all running around the giant house in the dark with flashlights. The teams were Emily and Ron, Sirius and Ginny, Harry and Hermione, Fred and George. hey were all running around the house screaming like a bunch of little kids. At one point Molly came and turned on the hall light and scolded all of them. She yelled at Em and Sirius and said they should know better, the two brushed it off, they were having too much fun.
Emily was sad to see the kids go back to school. Emily promised to write them all. Things wouldn't be as fun without them. But the plus side is that Em would have some alone time with Sirius. They were in love again and were always together. Emily went on missions for The Order, but nothing extreme as to expose herself to a lot of people. If people realized Emily was in London, after many years, and it happened to be when Sirius Black had escaped, things would get suspicious. So most of the time Emily was at headquarters with Sirius
When Em got the chance she talked to Molly and Arthur and explained to them why she had left years ago and that she was sorry for worrying them. They forgave her and talked about a lot of her issues. They did promise not to tell Sirius about Em's mis-carriage until she was ready to tell him herself.
For the next four months Emily got letters from the kids complaining about the changes in the school. They were all miserable with Dolores Umbridge there hovering over their every move. On the bright side, Christmas was coming and the kids would be spending it at Grimmauld Place. Emily and Sirius were now debating what to get each kid.
A day before the kids were to come home, Arthur was in the hospital because of an Order mission that went bad. It had been two days and everyone had been visiting Arthur so Emily held out so he could get some rest.
'oh my' Emily thought to herself. Em stared in disbelief. Part of her was excited but the other half was worried. She knew something was up. She had been two months late, the morning sickness, and know she was gaining weight fast. She wasn't sure what to do. Molly had taken the kids to Diagon Alley to go Christmas shopping which was tomorrow. Emily decided to go talk to Arthur, he would understand best. Emil grabbed her coat and headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" Sirius asked coming into the hall.
"Oh" Emily said caught unawares. "I was just going to visit Arthur, I'll be back soon." Em smiled at Sirius and left for St. Mungo's.
Emily entered the hospital room. Arthur didn't look so good. "Hey" Emily said quietly approaching the bed.
"Emily, I was wondering when you'd come to visit me." Arthur said, a bit enthusiastically. Emily smiled at him.
"I've been trying to help out around the house." Emily said trying to put on a happy smile.
"Is something bothering you Em?" Arthur asked. He amazed her, he always knew when something was wrong.
"Yes, there is something."
