Emily Marie Alden-Lupin sat on the back porch as Caddy kept the twins busy, and Ashley was currently trying to shove Audrey into the water. Instead of Audrey going in, Draco walked over, picked up his cousin then dropped her in. Audrey laughed as Caddy shook her head. Emily smiled going into the house to get the kids their lunch. As she did she heard the front door open, she poked her head around the corner to see Remus close the door behind him with his foot as the dog ran and barked at him, Emily shook her head as the sand witches and dandelion juice sat on a tray she warmed the twins bottles up, tested them on her wrist, then placed them on the tray also.
"Lunch kids!" She called hearing the sound of feet running into the house then the sliding door shut as they sat down at the table, and Caddy put Eric and Erica into their high chairs. She put out the food for the twins on their high chairs, then put the milk next to it as she placed the sand witches in the middle they went to dive for them, "Nuh uh, not until your father comes in here." Emily said as the kids glared then sat waiting. Remus walked in then sat down as Emily sat down also the kids then dived for the sand witches. Emily shook her head as the twins started to move their food around on their trays on the highchairs, "Never mention the words 'Hippogriff, Phoenix, Snake, Severus, or Gnomes' to me again." Remus said as Emily smirked, "Why? Something happen at work?" Remus scoffed, "More then needed, first, we got a complaint that there was a Hippogriff in the back yard of a Squib's house, then a Phoenix was seen flying in Muggle territory so we had to go after it, then there were was a snake nest, then Severus made my day worse by showing up, and there were the Weasley twins, they were off doing their business, and were to busy to de-gnome the garden, plus, one bit me." Caddy snickered as Emily shot her a glare, "Wot? It's not that hard to de-gnome a garden, Fred and George are just lazy. Why couldn't Ron or Ginny do it?" She asked.
"Ron's at Hermione's house with Harry. Ginny, I have no clue." Caddy and Draco exchanged looks then smirked, "Weasley at Granger's house? That's suspicious." "Cadelin Rose!" Emily said staring at her, "Wot? It's obvious they like each other." "Yeah, but Potter gets in the way of everything." "True blue." Caddy said taking a bit of her sand witch then got hit with Applesauce. Caddy glared at Erica, who was clapping her hands and giggling. Emily shook her head as Caddy wiped it off, "Little…" Caddy faltered at the look Remus was giving her, "precious baby." She said smiling as Draco, Ashley, and Audrey snickered.
After lunch the kids went back outside, and the twins went down for a nap, "I'm off." Remus said as Emily appeared again, "Again?" "Yeah, I told them I'd be back after lunch." He said kissing her cheek, "I'll be back before dinner." He said walking out the door. Emily sighed and laid down on the couch, closing her eyes, it was Caddy's 6th year at Hogwarts, Emily wasn't working as much as she should have been, because the twins took up most of her time, and Ashley had two more years to go. After Caddy would graduate she'd move out of the house, hopefully, then Ashley would do the same, and then it'd only be her, Remus, Eric, and Erica. As she started to drift to sleep crying woke her up. She groaned getting up then went upstairs into the nursery where the twins slept. Erica was screaming bloody murder as Emily went in she picked her up, "Shush…it's okay…it's okay baby." She said, but it wasn't okay, she saw a Doxie in the crib. Emily went wide eyed and checked Erica quickly, sure enough, there was a bite mark on the back of her neck. She grabbed Eric, closed the nursery door, and ran downstairs. She placed the twins on the couch as Erica still screamed Emily ran quickly to the closet looking for antidote. They usually had some, but it was gone, she swore under her breath, "CADDY!" She yelled as Caddy ran in, "Something wrong?" "Erica got bit by a Doxie, I'm taking her to the Hospital, stay here and watch your brother." Emily said wrapping Erica up in a blanket. Erica still screamed, "I know, I know baby, I know it hurts." She whispered as she ran out the door.
The whole way Erica screamed, when Emily stepped in, they rushed Erica into a room quickly. Emily sat out in the waiting room, her head in her hands, as she waited, she looked up seeing Remus there, "Emily, wot's going on? Caddy said you were here." "Erica got bit by a Doxie. We didn't have any antidote at home, so I had to run here." Emily said resting her head on his shoulder. He ran his fingers through her hair as they waited Emily had fallen asleep, and Remus started to nod off before the doctor came out with a sullen expression on her face, "Mr. Lupin?" Remus looked up, "Yes?" She sighed, "I'm sorry…Emily got Erica here in time, but, the poison was already effecting her…we gave her the antidote, it worked for awhile, then it wore off…" She didn't need to finish, because by the look on Remus' face, said he got it, "So…she's…" "I'm very sorry." The doctor said giving him a sympathetic smile then walked away.
Remus stared off into space for awhile then looked down at Emily who was stirring, "Where's Erica?" She asked with drowsiness in her voice. Remus frowned and sighed, "She's gone, Emily." Emily blinked then smiled, thinking he was kidding, "Stop kidding, where is she?" "I'm serious Emily, she's dead." Emily frowned, she didn't want to except the fact that her baby was dead, and Remus knew that, "No…no, y-your lying." She stammered as Remus shook his head, "I wish I was." Emily shook her head, fighting it, "Your wrong, your lying to me." "Emily, she's not alive, alright? You need to stop denying it." Remus said as Emily's blue eyes watered. Tears fell from her eyes as she shook her head again, he sighed and went to hug her, but she shoved him away, stood then walked off. He hung his head running his hands through his hair, they had just lost another baby, because it was born prematurely, now Erica was dead.
Remus stood and started walking home, before Emily did anything she would regret doing later. When he walked through the front door he heard the older kids in back splashing around in the lake he went out in back, "Caddy, where's your mother?" "She went inside." Caddy said as Remus walked back into the house he saw a trail of blood leading up the stairs, "Oh God Em…" He muttered going upstairs following the blood. It stopped at the bathroom door, then it started to go to go to their room. Remus opened the door seeing a lump in the bed he walked over, grabbed the sheets, then pulled them back. Emily was curled into the fetal position hiding her face in her arms. Remus sighed and sat on the bed, swung his legs onto the bed, picked her up, then ran his fingers through her hair. She had been through a lot for the past year, Blaine's death, Sirius' death, James and Lily's death fifteen years ago, she had so many miscarriages that they lost count after the eleventh one, then Eric and Erica where born, a few months later they had another, but it died, because of premature birth, and now it was Erica's death. Emily was shaking violently against Remus as he held her close to his body. He saw her hands curl tightly around his shirt as she lifted her head to look at him, "Oh Emily…." He whispered hugging her as she cried again.
He ran his fingers through her hair.
Emily returned back to her seat between Remus and Sirius casting a glance at Lily who shook her head. The talking went on for a few more hours and Kayla's eye started to twitch. She growled walked over to her brother, grabbed him by the ear, "Time to go Sirius." She said yanking him off the couch, "Ouch! See you at school Emily. OW! OKAY IM GOING IM GOING!" Vince, Lily, and Narcissa snickered watching a fifteen-year-old girl practically dragging her brother out the door, "Bye Vince." "Later Kayla." He said as Sirius went to go back in Kayla yanked his ear harder and finally got him out of the house. Lily shook her head smirking as Vince chuckled, "Sometimes I wonder what Sirius would be like without Kayla." "Who knows. Besides that fact…" "OH MY GOD!" Lily looked over to see what Narcissa was staring at. Her mouth dropped and as Vince looked he spat out his drink instantly. Lily fumed, if she wasn't mad before, she was even worse, "JAMES POTTER!" She screamed as Emily and James looked at her. James went pale as Emily bit her cheek.
Lily stormed over, grabbed James' collar, yanked him off the couch, and dragged him out the door also like Kayla had done no more then five seconds ago. Narcissa walked foreword and sat next to Lucius, as though reminding him she was there, he looked at her from the corner of his eye then rolled his eyes. Emily put her feet up, "Wot?" She asked seeing the dirty look Narcissa was giving her, "Nothing…nothing at all." She said as Emily shrugged.
Another hour went by Remus, Narcissa, and Lucius had left, which meant it was time for Emily and Vince to clean up. When Emily was standing on the chair taking down the decorations Vince stood at the bottom, "Em, we need to talk." He said as she jumped down, "What's up?" She asked looking at her brother, "Well, earlier…you and James…" "That? It was a dare." She said shrugging like it was no big deal, "Did you even see Lily's face?" "Yeah, I did, but it doesn't matter, she'll get over it by the time we go to school." Emily said as Vince shook his head, "You are dense you know that?" "Wot? I am not. Wot's wrong with you?" "Besides the fact that your basically hitting on James?" "Oh come on, I'm not going to steal James from Lily, wot kind of person do you think I am?" "A pretty bad one if your stealing boyfriends from girls." "I'm NOT! Holy Ghost, do you think I'd do something like that?" Vince shrugged then walked away then said over his shoulder, "Just don't yourself into trouble. Knowing you, you probably will, no avoiding it." "You sound like dad." "At least one of us does." "Wot's that suppose to mean?" Emily asked putting a hand on her hip, "Nothing, nothing at all." He said walking away.
Emily rose an eyebrow and shook her head while finishing up taking down the decorations. After she was done she grabbed her coat, "Mum, I'm going out." "Where? With who?" Emily rolled her eyes, "Remus, Lily, Narcissa, Lucius, James, Gigi, Sirius, and Kayla." Vince looked up raising an eyebrow, "Isn't it a full moon tonight?" "Why?" "Well…just asking." He said continuing to clean the dishes as a knock came on the door Emily walked over and opened it, "Hey." "Hey Sirius, Mum, I'm leaving!" "Be back before curfew!" Emily rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah, I will." She said before walking out the door.
Vince couldn't say why, but he had a bad feeling about her going out. As Madison and him waited for Emily to come back Madison started to get on edge, it was almost past curfew, and she still wasn't home. When the front door opened Emily looked around the corner to see Madison and Vince sleeping. She smirked then walked in motioning to the person behind her, "Their sleeping, quiet." She said as the figure followed her in behind her. Vince stirred and Emily froze pushing the figure back into the corner, "Ouch!" "Shush!" Vince opened his green eyes then stood, "Emily?" Emily poked her head around the corner, "Hiya Vince, didn't see you awake." "Who's with you?" "Wot? No one's with me." "Where were you?" "Next door, why?" "Because, mum's going to kill you if she finds out that you came in late." "Emily…" Emily elbowed the figure making it groan.
"Okay, someone's with you, you just gave it away." "Fine, someone is with me." "Remus? Sirius? James…god I hope not. Lucius? Blaine?" Emily poked her head around the corner again, "For me to know and you not to find out." "Emily!" "Fine! It's Remus, happy?" She asked rolling her eyes. Vince shook his head then fell back asleep, "Thank Merlin." Emily muttered untying the blind over Remus' eyes, "Thank you." He said as Emily smirked, "Anytime," She said grabbing his shirt collar so she was pressing against him then whispered, "want to go upstairs?" She asked smirking as he blinked then nodded slowly, she dragged him upstairs to her room.
She shoved Remus onto the bed then locked her door tightly, "Now," She said pushing Remus down on his back smirking down at him, tucking her white hair behind her ear, "where were we? Oh yes…I remember now…" She said as Remus' smirk matched her own and he pulled her down then flipped her over onto her back
(A/N: OO BAD! BAD EMILY AND REMUS! XD! Mwhaha….it gets worse heh heh heh heh –devil horns-)
In the morning the sun rose, through a small crack in the closed curtains a ray shone into the room, making Emily stir slightly, groan, then turn the other direction waking the other next to her. He smirked as she drifted to sleep again, he prodded her back with his finger, "IT WASN'T ME!" She said sitting up then looked around groggily as Remus chuckled she looked down, at him then blushed, "Sorry…" she muttered as he shook his head, "What time is it?" She asked rubbing her eyes, "Eight…wait…" both looked at each other, went wide eyed, then jumped out of bed. They both pulled on their clothes (A/N: I told you it gets worse) as they hopped down the stairs, grabbed their things, and ran out the door, "Morning mates, see you missed the train." Both saw Sirius, James, and Peter standing there, "Yeah, wot's up with that?" "How did you three get here?" Emily asked blinking, "Well, can't say exactly how, but we can get to school, by brooms." "Oh yeah, that will get us expelled." Emily said glaring at them, "We're in our 7th year, we can use magic outside of school." "It didn't say we could use brooms outside school smart one." Emily growled as her and Sirius glared at each other, Remus shook his head, "Come on you two, let's get going." He said as Emily looked at him, "How are we going to get there?" "Brooms." "OH FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE REMUS! I thought you had an idea!" she said pouting.
"It's the only way to get there." He said shrugging, "Besides, we're not going over any Muggle towns." Emily sighed, "Fine, let's go." She said mounting her broom, the boys following suite. The group took off on their brooms and within five minutes, they were at Hogwarts, "Well that was ridiculous, we could of just walked." Emily said as Sirius rolled his eyes, "Oh shut it." "Shut it yourself!" Emily snapped, "Emily, calm down." Remus said as Sirius scowled, "Get your bitch under control Remus." "WOT THE BLOODY HELL DID YOU JUST CALL ME!" Emily yelled dropping her things going to lunge at Sirius, but James grabbed her, and Remus held Sirius back, "Watch yourself Alden, don't want to land in the hospital do you?" "That's where YOUR heading!" Emily said straining against James' hold.
Remus dragged Sirius back at least three feet as he struggled to get to Emily, "Stop it! Wot is wrong with the two of you?" James asked still holding Emily. The yelling drew attention to the group, Lily looked up, "Emily?" She said standing, Vince and Kayla looked up as Sirius broke free from Remus, "Oh good god." Kayla said standing and ran down the hill being followed by Lily and Vince, plus half the school.
"LET ME GO REMUS!" "No! Knock it off! Emily wot's going on?" Remus asked dragging Sirius five feet back, "I KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN A FEW YEARS! SIRIUS IS GOING TO BETRAY US ALL AND SELL US TO VOLDEMORT! IN OTHER WORDS, TOM RIDDLE!" Emily screamed as James held her tighter, "YOUR PREMONITION'S ARE SCREWED UP EMILY! LIKE YOU ARE!" "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! YOU FIT THE FAMILY BLACK! YOUR FAMILY IS NOTHING BUT SHEER EVIL!" Emily yelled as Sirius twisted in Remus' hold, got his shirt off, then ran at Emily who kicked James then moved to the side to get away.
"SIRIUS!" "EMILY!" Vince and Kayla yelled as the older teens pounced at each other, "Wot the bloody hell happened!" Vince asked seeing the two fighting, and they were unable to get in with out being dragged into it themselves, "It was on Emily's premonition, she said that Sirius was going to sell us to Tom when we were older." Kayla's eyes went wide, "Wot? I-my brother wouldn't do that!" "That's wot we've been tryin' to tell 'er! She won't listen!" Peter said as the Head Boy and Girl came down with Dumbledore, "Move aside!" "Move it!" Dumbledore came to the scene as Emily was about ready to slug Sirius in the face Remus grabbed her fist, "Emily…" "WOT!" She yelled whipping her head seeing Dumbledore frowning at her, she released her fist, and looked like a beaten dog with the look she as giving him. Kayla and Lily were helping Sirius to his feet, "Damn…" He said giving Emily a glare, "Come with me, Miss Alden." Dumbledore said as the Syltherin kids sniggered and the Gryffindor kids glared.
Lucius stepped out from the group, "Well, Potter, seems your little friend's lost her grip." He said smirking as James glared at him, "It's because she's Veera." Lucius chuckled, "Oh there's more, much more then that." He said smirking then walked away, Narcissa following him looking over her shoulder frowning.
HL: meh…the chapters FINALLY done
HeatherBee: Yes, Emily should be nice to them, but, there's a reason why her attitude has suddenly changed a) her hormones, b) the transformation, c) she's pregnant … hah….kidding…maybe –looks from side to side- and d) She's furious with the vision she got, seeing as she picked a fight with Sirius Black. XD
TBC…
