"Remus, is there any way you can take a day off work and come with us to St. Mungos." James asked,
"Probably, why?"
"We need to see Emma." Lily said, she had decided that she needed to see her, it was just something she needed to do. She didn't really have a reason.
"Ok, I'll need to check with Dumbledore." Remus said, as he walked out of his office, leaving James, Lily and Harry sitting there.
"Can I come too?" Harry asked hopefully,
"I don't think so mate." James replied, Harry nodded understandingly, he was disappointed, but he knew it would be better if he didn't come, because his parents would be upset about seeing Emma in her ill state. It would definitely be a solemn visit. Besides Harry didn't even know Emma, he just wanted to spend as much time with his parents.
Remus returned to his office with permission to leave, Dumbledore had decided to teach his class. James, Lily and Remus walked slowly to Hogsmeade and then apparated to the entrance of St. Mungos, which was an old shop called Purge and Dowse, LTD, they stepped through the window and found themselves in the hospital.
They went to the ward where Emma had been living for the past fifteen years, the Janus Thickey ward, which was also called ward 49. Remus strolled up towards a young nurse with a badge that said 'Nurse Anya Bomanovik.'
"Could you please tell me what room Emma Jones is in?" he asked politely
"Room 314." She said in a Russian accent, glancing at her clipboard, "I didn't know the poor lady had a family."
"We're just friends of hers." He said,
"I feel sorry for her; her husband is a murderer, her son is dead and she is a complete nutcase, she said with a sympathetic smile,
"Sirius Black is not a murderer." James said venomously, he walked up to them, staring daggers at the nurse. Nurse Anya stared back at him with a look of recognition and confusion.
"No it can't be, you're gone."
"Then how am I here?" he said,
"I…I don't know." She said,
"I'll tell you. A time turner." Lily laughed as she joined them,
"Oh, okay." Was all she could say, they walked off towards Room 314.
Lily slowly pushed the door open and entered. There was a woman sitting in a bed with a dazed look on her face. She had thin blonde hair. Her empty blue eyes traveled to the doorway where Lily was standing with James and Remus behind her.
"Mum!" she shouted, with a look of delight.
"No, that's not me." Lily laughed,
"I know who you are! You're Emma Black." She yelled happily,
"No hun, I'm Lily Evans, you're Emma Black." Lily told her calmly,
"Nuh uh. I did not marry Bobby Black."
"I know; you married Sirius Black." Lily said,
"No, no. He's dead." She said defiantly, "He died three minutes ago."
"Okay Emma." Lily gave in,
"Do you want some chalk?" Emma asked James,
"Um, no thanks?" he said,
"It tastes great. Better than the poo they feed me here." She said, cramming two pieces of chalk into her mouth, then she grabbed a book and tried to chomp on it. Lily rushed over and took the book off her.
"Give it back you little bitch!" she screamed, "I only get four books a day! The guards are so stingy in this jail. Stop trying to kill me Emma, you're just as bad as your husband Sirius!" Emma screeched, throwing a bottle of pills at Lily.
Three nurses hurried in, their wands ready, they struggled to calm her down.
Nurse Anya walked in with her clipboard; she saw Lily's look of guilt and sadness.
"Don't worry love, it's not your fault, she does this two times a day." She said.
James and Lily walked out of the door and closed the door gently; they waited outside the door while Remus spoke to Emma.
"I can't let her become like that." Lily said, "I feel like…like I have a moral obligation to stop this from happening," she looked in the window, Emma was laughing at a cup that was in Remus' hand.
"Please James, let's take Harry with us, he can help us fix it, and then he can come back here when everything is right. I can't let Jen die, I can't let Sirius die, I can't let you die, I can't let this happen to Emma and I can't let my baby grow up with Petunia." She looked up at James then put her head on his chest.
"If Harry can help us make it right, he can come with us." James said.
Later on their way back to Hogwarts they were talking about everything that had happened since James and Lily's death, it was a very intense conversation.
"I'm the only surviving Marauder, apart from that scumbag Pettigrew." Remus said,
"As far as I'm concerned he is no longer a Marauder." James said.
