Disclaimer: I think it's obvious by now.
As the group walked back home they looked over their shoulders at the castle as the windows went black, "Must be locking down." James said as Emily nodded. As they walked on it suddenly got cold, "Whoa…" James said as the rain turned into snow, "Wot is this?" Emily said as the snow fell, then her question was answered, black figures flew towards Hogwarts School, "Are those…" "Dementors? They have to be." "I thought they were only the guards of Azkaban." Lily said, "They are, but I think their looking for the proclaimed killer." Remus said as they kept walking behind their parents, "This is a great way to spend our last year, a killer on the loose, school being locked down, and maybe never returning." Lily said as a brown owl flew to Emily's shoulder, "There you are Birch. Where did you disappear off to?" She asked scratching the bird's neck. The bird nipped her ear as Remus looked at him, "Isn't it odd….when Bitch isn't around, Blaine is." He said as Emily rose an eyebrow, "Wot are you getting at?" "Yeah." Lily and James said, "Well, all I'm saying is, Blaine maybe Birch. It's kind of ironic how Blaine has brown hair and brown eyes." Emily rolled her eyes, "Your paranoid Moony." James said raising an eyebrow, "I saw Blaine, he was on the team, so obviously he was at school." "Yes, but when Emily wasn't in school, he wasn't either, Prongs." "Moony, chill out. Jeez." James said as Birch tilted his head at Remus.
Remus glared at the bird as Emily rolled her eyes, "Remus, Blaine isn't an Animagus." "How do you know?" "Because, he doesn't know how to become one." "Again, how do you know?" "He told me." "When?" "In a letter, why?" "Just wondering, if your bloody boyfriend…" "Whoa! Wot? Blaine isn't my boyfriend, what the bloody hell is wrong with you?" Emily asked wide eyed as Birch shifted uncomfortably on her shoulder and hooted, "Nothing." Remus said dismissing the conversation. Emily looked at Lily, "Are you jealous Remus?" "Of Blaine, no. I have no reason to be." "Besides the fact that your girlfriend would be next to me." Emily jumped looking next to her, "Blaine! Where the bloody hell did you come from?" She asked blinking as Remus growled grabbing Emily's wrist. Blaine chuckled, "Relax Remus, I'm not going to take her, yet." He said smirking. Remus glared shoving Emily behind him, "Your not going to get her, if your life depended on it." Blaine smirked, "Is that a challenge?" He asked as he stepped foreword stopping a inch away from Remus. Remus growled going to hit Blaine, but he dodged grabbing Remus' arm and twisted it back. He smirked again throwing him back into Emily who caught him before falling on her back, "You okay?" He asked helping her up, "Yeah. I'm fine." She said, "You won't be though." Blaine said grabbing Remus' shirt and yanking him back away from Emily.
"Stop it! Leave him alone!" Lily said going foreword, "Lily! No!" James said grabbing her arm. Blaine grabbed him then kneed him in the stomach, "Blaine! Leave him alone!" Emily said going foreword grabbing Blaine's wrist before he blew the punch. He glared at her, lifted her off the ground with his arm, then threw her against a tree making her yelp in pain when her leg hit the ground. Lily ran over to her and knelt by her as Blaine pulled out his wand and held it near Remus' heart, "Something I've been waiting to do for three long years…and this time, Emily can't move fast enough to save you." He said smirking as Remus glared at him. As Blaine smirked Emily grabbed Lily's wand from her pocket then aimed it at Blaine, "EXPELLIARMUS!" "Protego." Blaine said as two streams of light flew at him he rolled off of Remus as he rolled out of the way and the streams hit the grass where they had been laying exactly ten seconds ago, "STUPEFY!" Emily yelled freezing Blaine. She grabbed her stick and hopped over to Remus helping him up as they watched Blaine lay there only blinking. The four looked ahead of them seeing that their parents had disappeared from sight, they looked at each other, then ran to catch up.
When James and Emily got to the Potter's house they went inside as Remus and Lily said that they needed to get changed, seeing as they were soaked from the rain, that they would see them later. Emily laid on James' bed as he walked in throwing his robes off, "Wonder who the murder is." James said as Emily stared out the window, "Em?" "Hm? Did you say something?" She asked as James raised an eyebrow at her, "You okay?" "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, just thinking that's all." She said watching the rain fall. James shrugged as he opened his trunk taking out his DADA book, then sat on the chair in the corner of his room reading it. Emily sighed as she grabbed her potions book, "This sucks, James." She said as he looked up at her, "Why? I like not having school." "It sucks, because, none of us can spend time with each other, well besides Lily and Remus." She said as James shrugged, "I'm sure you wouldn't mind climbing out the back window and sneaking off with Remus in the middle of the night." He said smirking as Emily glared and threw the pillow at him.
"You and Evans aren't any better, Potter." "Really? I do believe you are the worst. You and Remus. I'm surprised your not pregnant yet." He said as Emily bit her lip. He saw the gesture and rose an eyebrow, "Your not…are you?" "Of course not, Potter." She snapped reading her book again as James rolled his eyes. Girls, bitchy on their period, mood swings, and bitchy if they didn't get their period. He would never understand them, at all, "James…" He blinked then looked at Emily, who had somehow ended up at the edge of the bed on her knees, her green eyes wide, "Yes?" He asked as she sighed, "I need to tell you something, but you can't tell Sirius, Remus, Lily, Peter, Vince, Kayla, Narcissa, Lucius, or ANY ONE." She said putting stress on 'any one'. James flipped his book upside down then looked at her, "Okay, even though I probably know that your already pregnant. Are you?" He asked, smirking.
"Fine, you caught me, I am." She said as his smirk got bigger, "Score!" He said pumping his fist in the air. Emily rolled her eyes, "You can't tell any one, remember that." James nodded as Emily sat back in her spot they heard the door fly open, "YOU'RE AN IDIOT!" "I AM NOT!" "YES YOU ARE! JACK ASS!" "WHORE!" "VINCENT YOU TAKE THAT BACK!" "MAKE ME!" Emily groaned covering her face with her hand as Sirius flew through the door, "Take…your brother…before I slit his throat." He said out of breath as Emily rolled her eyes, "VINCE! GET YOUR ARSE UP HERE!" Emily called as she heard his feet coming up she folded her hands in her lap. "Do you know what starts with 'come here' and ends with 'ow'?" "No." Vince said as Emily made a gesture for him to come, "Come here." She said as he walked over to her.
SLAP!
"OW!" Sirius and James laughed as Vince held his face where Emily had slapped him, "Now, go apologize to Kayla." "No." "Vince…" "I wouldn't get on her bad side, mate." James said as Vince sighed. "Do it." "No." Emily glared at him then grabbed a pillow, "AH! OKAY! OKAY! I'll go!" He said running downstairs again to where Kayla was. Emily laid down on the bed again rubbing her forehead, "Brothers." She said sighing as Kayla and Vince came back upstairs. Emily closed her eyes as the door downstairs opened they heard feet coming upstairs then Emily felt the end of the bed being shook. She opened her eyes, "What!" She snapped as she saw a blonde haired girl at the edge of her bed, "Oh, it's only you." She said as Narcissa glared at her. "I need to tell you something, in private…" Narcissa said as she nodded to the others they all left closing the door. "What's up?" Emily asked sitting up. Narcissa looked down at her hands. "You can't tell anyone." She said as Emily sat on her legs, "Tell me." Emily said as Narcissa sighed then muttered. Emily leaned foreword, "What? I didn't quite catch that." She said, "I'm pregnant." She said louder.
Emily blinked then sat down, "That all? Have you told Lucius yet?" She asked as she saw a flicker of fear in her eye, she got a sinking feeling, "It's not his is it.." She whispered as Narcissa shook her head, "Do Bella, Andromeda, or Sirius know?" Narcissa shook her head again. Emily sighed, well, at least her cousin or sisters didn't know, "What am I going to do? If Lucius finds out…" Emily grabbed her shoulders, "He's not going to find out, because your not going to tell him. He's not even going to know you HAD this kid." Emily said as Narcissa blinked at her, "Here's what your going to do, go to my summer house, stay there for nine months, have the kid, put it up for adoption, and then come back. I'll keep Lucius busy with lies." She said smirking. Narcissa lunged at her and hugged her tightly.
Emily fell over and blinked patting Narcissa's back, "Thank you Emily." She said as Emily smiled, "Any time. You know, I think I still have the key here somewhere." She said standing as Narcissa sat on the bed Emily opened a draw and pulled out the key. It was a bright gold key that had a snake at the end of it, "Here. Be careful though, I think this key bites, Lucius held it the wrong way once, and it bit his finger. Quite funny actually." Emily said as Narcissa giggled, "If Lucius or I go during the summer I'll give you warning ahead of time. So, I'll send you an owl, and I want you to go through the basement, there's a door at the end, open it, go through there, and run until you get to another door, open it, and there's a secret room there that only I know about. I'll come and check on you once and awhile." She said as a knock came at the door, "Emily, what's going on in there?" The two girls went wide eyed then looked at each other, "Lucius." They both said at the same time. Narcissa put the key in her pocket quickly as it hissed she jumped, "Relax, it won't bite you." Emily said as she opened the door, "What won't bite her?" Lucius asked raising an eyebrow at his cousin.
Emily bit her lip, "Nothing." She said as Narcissa appeared behind her, "Come Narcissa, it's time to leave." He said. Narcissa gave Emily a panicked look as Emily nodded her head giving her a 'we'll figure out something' look. Lucius stopped at the stairs as Narcissa quickly ran to his side the two went downstairs. Emily sighed shaking her head as James looked at her, "What was that about?" "Narcissa is pregnant." "SHE'S WHAT!" "James! Shush!" Emily said shoving him into his room. She closed the door and locked it, "She's pregnant? With whose kid?" James asked, "She didn't tell me. All I know is that it's not my cousins baby." Emily said as James patted her back, "Good, now both of you can have kids at the same time." He said as Emily whacked him.
