Chapter three.

a/n: hope you like this chapter.

disclaimer: not mine.

Emma Jones was a smart girl; she knew Sirius was hiding something, because every time she asked him something about his past, he would instantly try to change the subject.

She didn't like going behind his back but she was desperate to find out what he was hiding, so she consulted her cousin, Lulu Banks. Lulu was intelligent but she made herself look stupid so guys would like her. She had gone out with James in their fourth year, but they had broken up after a few weeks.

She had asked Lulu to come over to her apartment that day so she could ask her about the Marauders, especially Sirius.

"Emma, hi, I haven't seen you in ages. How long has it been?" Lulu said as she gave Emma a hug.

"Almost two years, how are you?"

"I'm great! What about you?" Lulu asked as she flicked her curly raven hair.

"I'm alright."

"So," she said as she jumped into a pink beanbag on the living room floor, "What's going on in your life these days?"

"Um, well. Not much."

"Got a boyfriend?"

"Yeah." Emma took a seat on the couch.

"Who? Do I know him?"

"Well, maybe." Emma hesitated, she wasn't sure how to say this, "His name is Sirius Black."

"Sirius Black? Oh my god! I went to school with him."

"I know; that's why I asked you to come over today."

"Ooh, good catch!"

"Yeah, I'm not sure."

"Why not? He is one of the hottest guys I've ever seen."

"Lulu, unlike you that is not the only thing I care about!" Emma snapped, Lulu looked offended, "Sorry, this is really worrying me."

"What is?"

"Sirius never talks about his past, his life at Hogwarts or his family. It's really getting to me, I've told him all about my family, about my history."

"I think I should tell you this, when we were at Hogwarts, Sirius, James and Remus were the most popular guys in school."

"What about that Peter guy? I've heard of him but I haven't met him."

"He's a weirdo, he was more of a tag-a-long. Like a fan, he idolizes them. James and Sirius were both total players."

"What do you mean?" Emma asked

"They had a new bimbo on their arms every few weeks, they would go out with a girl for a week or two and then drop them."

"I don't believe it."

"It's true Em, maybe he's changed. Though I deeply regret going out with James Potter, even though he was with me I could tell he was lusting after Lily Evans."

"Yeah, they're engaged now." Emma said, "What about his family?"

"Oh, them. They're all big supporters of you-know-who. His little brother tried to come back to the good side, but he was murdered. Sirius isn't a death eater though." Lulu added when she saw Emma's look of shock, "He ran away from home in the summer before seventh year, I think he went to live with the Potters. His parents were abusive, always yelling and cursing at him for being friends with muggle-borns and blood-traitors."

"Oh." That was all she could say, she wasn't really sure what to say, but she knew she had to talk to Sirius.

"Hey Emma, why did you need to see me? You sounded upset on the… ow!" a hard slap landed on Sirius' cheek, and that's when Emma started to scream.

"Am I just another one of your bimbos?"

"What?" he asked as he rubbed his cheek.

"Does the name Lulu Banks mean anything to you?" she screeched

"What? Lulu Banks?"

"My cousin! She told me stuff, about you! Stuff that you neglected to tell me! She said you used to go out with girls for a few weeks and then dump them."

"Emma, I never…"

"Shut up! What about me? Huh? Why have you led me along for the past two and a half months? What do you want with me?" she screamed "Why didn't you tell me about your family, about you little brother?"

"Emma, do you want to know why I have been with you longer than the rest?" he said calmly

"Mm-hmm." Emma nodded,

"Because…I like you much more than the rest of them, Emma." He said; Emma smiled.

"Not good enough." She said, and her smile creased into a frown as she turned and walked off.

James couldn't get the sight of that figure out of his mind, it was standing there, towering over the two bodies, whoever it was had been a rather short and round, he had looked up in shock and disappeared. The figure wouldn't exit his mind, for some reason it lingered in his thoughts bugging him like a fly that buzzes around your head. It was strangely familiar yet he couldn't place who it was. But when it came to him, he would kill that person; he would make them die a horrible, excruciatingly painful death…
