Memories Lost: A Maurder's Tale

Disclaimer: I own nothing, but my characters.


Emily Birch was up early, now thirty-two years old, she had two girls, Ashley and Cadelin Birch. Cadelin refused to be called by her full name and she couldn't say it when she first started talking so they always called her Caddy. Emily was a fairly good looking girl, she didn't look close to thirty-two, as Sirius had told her countless times when they last met. She stood over the stove making breakfast for her girls and herself. Blaine Birch had died suddenly after a "freak accident" with his cousin Thomas. She was heart broken when she heard, but what really got her mad, was that Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy had most likely been involved with it.

As she started to put the plates on the table a knock came on the door. She looked up then walked over, looked through the peep hole, then opened the door, "Remus? What are you doing here?" She asked as he stepped through, "I need to talk to you." He said as Emily closed the door behind him she lead him into the living room where he sat on the couch, "Would you like tea, coffee, or something to eat?" She asked as he smiled at her, "Coffee is fine." Emily walked into the kitchen then called back, "Do you want some pancakes Remus?" "That's fine Emily. I'm sure whatever you make is just as good tasting as it was way back." Emily smiled. Remus and her were best friends ever since their first year at Hogwarts. James, Lily, Kayla, and Sirius took a long time for her to warm up too. It had just so happened that Sirius was the second to befriend her.

After Emily was finished she levitated the tray in front of her then placed it in front of Remus. He smiled taking the cup and sipping from it as she sat down, "Emily," his face fell, "we, Molly, and I believe that Voldemort is back." The young girl's face fell into a frown as she looked at the floor, "How? Why? I thought Harry…" "We thought so too," Remus said looking at her, "I'm sure it's just a false alarm." He added putting a hand on hers. Silence was thick until the soft padding of feet came into the room, "Mum?" Emily looked up to see Ashley and Caddy standing there, "I can't sleep." Ashley said as Caddy yawned. She looked at the girls, she wasn't going to let them hear what Remus had to say, "Go back to sleep, try, do something, please." She said waving her hand at them. The two girls went back upstairs, or so they thought. After Emily made sure they had gone she looked back at Remus, "Remus, how, I don't understand. James, me, you, Sirius, Lily, Kayla, Blaine, Lucius, and Narcissa destroyed Tom, but, I don't understand? Poor Harry has put up with his parents death, then Sirius' death…I've had to deal with Blaine's death." Emily's eyes watered as Remus hugged her.

"Hush…it's okay Emily, it'll all be over soon, hopefully." He said as Emily muttered something into his shirt that sounded like 'you just had to add that hopefully didn't you?' He chuckled as she looked at him with her red rimmed eyes, clear evidence she had been crying. Remus frowned wiping a stray tear, "Emily, you'll be fine, I promise, I'll die before Voldemort or Thomas get to you." He said as she smiled then a chuckle came from the doorway. Her heart stopped as her eyes widened, "Is that a real promise Remus?" Remus got up and stood in front of Emily glaring at the figure, "Stay away, I'm warning you." The figure scoffed before flicking his hand making Remus crash into the wall. "REMUS!" "GET DOWN EMILY!" Emily ducked just in time as a spell rebounded off the wall hitting the attacker. She looked up as she was grabbed by the back of the shirt, then an arm snaked around her neck choking her, "Learn your place…" a cold voice hissed in her ear as the wand held to her head pressed harder against her skull, "No, please…." She choked out. "EMILY!" A white dog flew at her then grabbed the attackers arm making him groan then threw the dog against the wall into Remus. Emily rolled out of the way of the attackers aim then used a paralysis charm on him. She panted then blew her bangs out of her eyes as she walked over to Kayla, who was now in her human form, rubbing her head, "Kayla…get off." Remus muttered as she smirked, "Sorry Remus." She said as Emily pulled her up. Four or five heads poked around the corner and blinked.

After sending the other guests to bed, Vincent, Kayla, Remus, Emily, Molly, and Ebony were sitting in the Birch living room, "Remember in seventh year when James and Lily finally went out? It was pathetic, the way they argued and such, it was obvious too, wasn't it Remus?" Emily asked, "Yes, at least James Potter grew up with Lily Evens. Someone needed to show that boy who was in charge." He said as Kayla giggled, "It was funny though when Sirius and James were poking fun at Severus Snape." "Oh yes, such fun that was, indeed." Emily said rolling her eyes. Vincent smirked at his sister then chuckled, "Wot are you chuckling bout?" "When Severus asked you out." "OH DEAR MERLIN!" The group laughed hysterically, like they had when Emily told them, or rather, James did since he was in his invisibility cloak.

"That had to be the worst memory of my young virgin life." Emily said sipping her tea, "I remember it well, 'Emily Marie Alden, will you go out with me?'" Vincent busted into laughter as Emily glared at the twenty-nine-year-old and whipped a pillow at his head, "Oh shut up!" She hissed as she caught a picture of her, Blaine, Vincent, Lily, James, Remus, Sirius, Kayla, Lucius, and Narcissa together, the boy's arms around the girl's waist as they smiled and waved at her she saw her younger self shoving Blaine into the lake, then the others laughing. Emily's smile faded at the thought of Blaine, they had never gotten along after their marriage, she was a maurder, and he, was a Death Eater. No matter how bad the situation got, Blaine still showed love for her, even after a fight with her, he'd hug her with tears in his eyes, even if he hadn't hurt her physically, he knew deep down she was hurt. Her eyes started to water again and Remus frowned as Vincent blinked, "Em, are you okay?" He asked as she nodded slowly, "I'm fine." She whispered.

Kayla elbowed him, "You made her cry." "Not my fault! I didn't mention Blaine!" Vincent clapped a hand to his mouth as Kayla whacked him upside the back of his head, "Moron." She muttered as Emily started to cry, again. Remus sighed and glared at Vincent as he held Emily she cried into his shirt. As she cried she had a flashback of the last battle between the maurder's and the death eaters.

-Flashback-

Emily was fighting side by side with Narcissa, if Narcissa was attacked then Emily would protect her, then attack and Narcissa did the same. The two girls watched as Lucius was thrown back and Narcissa ran to his side. Emily started to go after her, but got hit in the side with a spell, throwing her down, and making her scream. Blaine's head whipped around as he jumped over a dead death eater and went to her, "Emily!" He said kneeling by her putting a hand on her stomach, "Are you alright?" He asked as his green eyes scanned her face with worry, "I'm…fine…" She said shoving him away then standing.

She had never felt rage that the enemy was helping her, but if real rage was finding out that a friend had betrayed you, then it was fine to shove him away. When she realized that she had the enemy in front of her, she turned with her wand extended in front of her, aiming right at his chest. Blaine looked shocked that she had turned on him, but he smirked slightly, then raised his. Both shot hexes at the other, but Emily jumped and Blaine dodged hers. The others were too engaged in fighting or protecting the one that meant most to them, that they hardly glanced at the two, but from time to time they did.

The farthest they got was shooting harmless hexes, but Blaine got hit full throttle by one of her hexes that knocked him out. Emily's eyes went wide as she ran towards him James delivered the final blow at Tom making him disappear, forever, as they thought. Remus was being checked by Kayla, as Sirius checked Vincent, Narcissa was holding Lucius' head up, as James and Lily were the only two standing and walked over to Lucius, who was clearly knocked out. "Blaine? Come on Blaine, stop playing dead, the joke's over." Emily said poking him in the chest, but he didn't respond, "Blaine?" She asked shaking him this time. When he didn't respond to that she frowned, leaned foreword, put her lips on his, kissing him, but then felt his hand on the back of her head pressing her head down to give her a long kiss. Her eyes went wide then she pulled back and slapped him across the face. "DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" She screamed as Remus, James, Lily, Sirius, Vincent, Narcissa, Lucius and Peter laughed. Blaine smiled then pulled her head back down kissing her again, "You know you liked it Alden." He said smirking as she blushed.

It had happened again fifteen years later only this time, he didn't wake, he didn't kiss her back, he was gone, for good.

- End Flashback-

Emily held onto Remus' shirt tighter as she cried even more. Remus stroked her hair as Vincent rubbed her back, "I'm sorry Emily, I didn't mean to bring him up…" He said to his sister as she cried softly. Blaine…I miss you. She thought to herself. A mental image of his green eyes, his well built body, his clothes, and his smile came into her head as she went from holding Remus' shirt to hugging him tight and crying even more.
