Welcome back readers! I hope you enjoy this one as much as you have the first Story that began this journey! :)

Thank you all again and I can't wait to hear what you're feedback and other's regarding the second book if this story caught your attention. But I will say the second book is still under construction. So, up to a certain chapter I think chapter 30, has been touched up and fixed, like a lot of red and blue inks were put onto paper from the printed format I did to have a more effective outcome. So, after chapter 30 there will be errors still three unfortunately that I have not had the time to fix yet.

ENJOY Chapter 9!

Chapter 9

Emma stood frozen in shock and horror, 'How could he do this to him!' "Albus, why would you ask him to do that!? Have you any idea how hard he worked to get away from them!?"

Albus had swiftly stood from his chair. This was the first time Emma had ever warranted the wrath of Albus Dumbledore, "I know very well what he had to endure to get away from them, Rose! But we need him involved with them because he can get us information that could very well save your nephew's life! Your life! His wife and children! He was once a Death Eater, one Voldemort once trusted. Now, he must endure the most and worst amount of pain and sacrifice than anyone, to save us all, not just your family and his, but all of us in this World. Now, I understand you're upset, even on his behalf, but I want you to understand that we cannot win this war without sacrifices, and Severus gave me his services, anything I needed from him. Severus Snape is an extraordinary asset that I shall use to our advantage and he understands that himself! He's a smart and talented Wizard, Rose. He will be fine. If you do not believe in me, then believe in Severus to not only do his job but to also stay alive... He wants to watch his children grow, he wants to see them succeed in life and see them have families of their own, but if we lose this war like we nearly did last time, then we're all dead either way. Now, I believe you have nephews to see. Give them all my best, please? Have a good day, Rose."

With that, Dumbledore took a heavy sigh and sat himself back in his chair as Emma walked out, leaving Dumbledore to his self-torturers.

-End of flashback-

June 1992, End of term 3

Emma couldn't help but continue to think about that conversation the next few months, it was bothering her so much she had nearly made herself sick. After she spent the day with the boys she met up with Severus and spoke to him about it, "I owe him, Emma. Not just that, but it's the right thing to do. I was a coward before. I will not be one again."

"Does Mell know?"

"She knows a little, not everything but she knows enough, but now that you know just about all of it, I'm begging you, don't tell her." He was begging her. Severus Snape was begging her to not tell his wife of this.

Why would she keep that to herself, Mellena was her best friend and that was something Emma knew she deserved to know! "No! Sev, Mellena has a right to know! Y-you can't keep this from her you could be killed, they could be killed! If she's left out of this, she'll think you've betrayed them, betrayed us all. Why would let them believe that?"

In a panic Severus swiftly pulled free his wand and cast a memory charm, not truly erasing her memory of the encounter, but muffling the memory to a dual whisper. Severus Snape had done the very thing he had thought he'd never do, especially to his best friend. He knew he'd hate himself till the day he died, but if Emma talked to Mell in full details about what he was meant to do, he feared for their lives, and Mellena running with his children. Severus watched her blink a few times in confusion and look around, confused as to why they were in his office, but she couldn't quite remember why she had come to talk to him, she remembered something was bothering her, but couldn't seem to remember what. Emma looked back to him and smiled at him, but her smile quickly faded into a concerned frown when she saw the distressed look on his face, "Sev, what's wrong?"

"No-nothing, um I just… I'm not feeling well, probably ate something bad at supper." He lied to her, it wasn't the first time he had to lie to her, not even to Mellena, but it didn't stop himself from hating himself. The charm had worked a bit too well, "I should get home, want to see the kids." With that he stood from his seat in his office, kissed Emma atop her head and walked out. Though, he hadn't gone home like he had told her, he went to his classroom and started on the files and papers he needed to finish grading.

Severus Snape had done his gradings but had also ended up filing through the afternoon. He hadn't realized it had gotten later than it was and had decided it was best to actually go home as he had told Emma he needed to do just hours ago and left his classroom. He was finally on the first level of Hogwarts when he unfortunately ran into three noisy Gryffindor's, all three looking worried and very set in finishing something, Harry especially, didn't look the least happy. "Now, what would three young Gryffindor's such as yourselves, be inside on a day like this?"

"We-well, we-we-we we were just-" Hermione stuttered, she had no idea what to say, and the look Snape was giving her was a look that said he was waiting for an answer, "Someone would think you three were... Up to something?" he'd heard Harry's thoughts loudly, they knew about the stone, they knew Voldemort was coming back, they knew Voldemort was after it, and they thought he, Severus Snape, was involved in it.

'I need to find Emma!' and quickly walked off without another word to the three in search of Emma. Terror struck him at the state he found his office in, it was a disaster. Someone had destroyed his office and Emma was nowhere in sight. Worried, Severus looked around hoping to find none of this belongs missing, which turned out to be a relief that it was all there. However, it was a small amount of blood on the corner of his desk that frightened him. He had a sinking feeling that the blood belonged to Emma. Panicking, Severus rushed from his office up to Dumbledore's, "Emma's missing, there's blood in my office where I left her a few hours ago! I-I don't know where she is!"

"WHAT!" Hagrid barked in shock. Dumbledore had been in the middle of a meeting with a few people, Minerva, Hagrid, Alastor Moody, Andromeda Tonks, Remus Lupin and the Minister of Magic. Everyone was in a state of shock.

"That's impossible! Who would want to kidnap Miss Evans?" Fudge questioned. He was already upset as it was. They had been in the middle of a meeting regarding the Witch that was now pronounced missing and likely kidnapped.

"I hate to break it to you Minister, but it is possible she was taken, especially if the person in question was currently in school!" Snape snapped, he was in a panic, Emma was missing and there was blood in his very office to prove that fact even if it was a small amount, it was still blood and his office was in a ransacked state. Emma Evans had been captured by an enemy, or someone with a deep infatuation with her, the sudden thought had scared him when his mind turned to two men, Remus Lupin who had fallen in love with Emma over the years then the fear of Sirius Black escaping… Unless it was the Dark Lord himself, if it had been in that case, Snape's family was in danger and his best friend was possibly being tortured for information as they spoke.

"Then I hate to be the bearer of bad news, Professor, you may all inform Miss Evans that her claim to Harry James Potter has been, once again, refused and that her requests, and poorly stated demands, for visitations and trial for Sirius Black has also been refused! Due to her poor statue as a teacher here at Hogwarts and has proven she cannot be responsible for a child, nor care for herself, it seems! Harry Potter shall be returning back to his Aunt and Uncle's home! Good Day!" Fudge now had more on Emma that he and the Ministry could use against her, with Fudge refusing to believe Emma had been taken he had moved to walk from Dumbledore's office, huffing and puffing with pure irritation ranting about "Poor excuses of guardianship these days" and "Terrible manners to show for her own meets she had called," begging Fudge himself to attained.

"You can' do 'hat Minis'er! She jus' wan's 'er fam'ly back!" Hagrid screamed after the enraged and retreating Minister of Magic who turned and shouted back, red in the face from anger, "Yes I can, Game Keeper! And I have!"

"Cornelius! Please, Miss Evans has never missed a meeting like this before! Professor Snape rushing in claiming she has gone missing against her will is indeed something to be looked into- CORNELIUS!" Dumbledore ceased his shouting just as Fudge Disapparated out of the school, "Damn! … Minerva have Filch round up the ghosts and search the castle immediately! Andromeda inform the rest to keep eye's out for her. Hagrid, you and Mr. Lupin will search the grounds. Alastor, search the office of her disappearance. Severus, what happened!" Dumbledore was beyond angry, they had been so close to getting Harry in Emma's care, now this comes and slaps them!

Emma

'What is going on!'

Emma groaned as she sat up from where she was laying, her head pounded and her stomach almost lurching, "Oouch,"

"Emma, how nice of you to join us." A voice said calmly from the shadows, but she knew that voice, how did she know that voice again? Emma strained her eyes to see into the dark, but her head was pounding with a heartbeat. She was unprepared for the interrogation that was about to begin.

"How did you survive? I get how that nephew of yours did, but you should have been destroyed when he was." The voice asked again as Emma moved her feet to dangle off the object she was on, possible a body slab made of marble, it felt cold and smooth, "Why do you care how I survived, no one knows, I don't even know. Ugh, my head... Wh-what happened."

"I slammed your head off the corner of Snape's desk, of course you're going to have a slight concussion. One moment," With that the figure vanished for a few moments. Reappearing, he grabbed her by the back of her head and shoved a potion down her throat, "There we go, the headache should go away. Unfortunately, it doesn't solve the possibility of having an untreated concussion."

He was right, she was glad, mostly lucky, he hadn't shoved poison down her throat.

Emma waited for her eyes to readjust and the figure began to not only take shape, seeing their identity. Her jaw dropped in horror, "Quirrell! But how-why!"

"I've been involved since the beginning of the year, Evans. He saved me, I owe him my life and so I have given him my life. My body as a host." Quirrell said in a far-off distance tone, it was like he was staring right through her.

"What did you do, Quirrell?"

"I gave him my body to use..." He said simply, once again his tone was a far-off distance of himself as he began unwrapping his turban.

Emma sat wide eyes and horrified as he turned his back to her, a face growing out at the back of his head. The face formed began to laugh.

"Hello again, Emma. See what you and that meddlesome sister of yours did to me! Me! The most powerful Wizard that'd ever lived must thrive as a mere parasite! How did you survive!" He screamed, his voice sounded like he'd gargled razor blades and nails.

Emma stared at him, her emerald eyes wide and unable to find her voice, "Ah, those eyes, such eyes... Just like that Gabrielle friend of yours, such eyes, such blue eyes." Emma felt sick, he was mesmerized by hers' and Gabby's eyes? 'I think I'm going to vomit,'

"ANSWER ME!" His sudden shout made her jump a little in her seated position, screaming a little from fright at the sudden shock of him shouting at her and she had instantly regretted giving him that much power over her when she saw the wicked grin across his face, "How did you survive!"

It was the same thing over and over. She had no idea. Sissy had told her the necklace was for protection, but no one could beat the killing curse, she had informed Emma that the curse should have killed her either way with such a direct hit, that not only Voldemort, but to her as well, since she was standing right in front of him should have been just as equally destroyed. Irritated and still nauseous Emma screamed her only answer she could truly give anyone, even herself, "I don't know!"

Unpleased, Voldemort growled, "Hide me, we have a certain young wizard to kill. Emma, dear, stay put. Someone will be along to gather you for safe keeping." Even with his tone so soft she didn't like the sound of it at all.

'Safe keeping? What for! I think I really am going to be sick.'

As Quirrell left, Emma slipped from the marble slab, falling to her knees into in a nearby corner and vomited, "Oh Merlin, this isn't good." She was glad she found a small thing of water and rinsed her mouth from the vile taste and began looking around for an escape. She had been unlucky for what felt like hours, she had no idea what to do and no one came for her at all. Not even Quirrell or Voldemort came back, though she was very happy they hadn't, which likely meant Harry was alive and Quirrell was dead or captured. However, as the time moved forward and her hope and energy drained from her, Emma did the only thing she could think of after an extra hour, possibly, she screamed for help. "Help! Somebody HELP!" But no answer or saving grace came for her. She was left in an underground room with very few lanterns lit around for gentle light and from the looks of it all. She had no wand and her wandless magic had limitations at that moment. She could levitate someone and more, but she couldn't blow her way up from underground, she'd cave herself in and possibly be crushed in the process, what use would she be to her nephew if she was dead? So, she unfortunately continued to scream. Emma screamed for anyone, almost everyone, she would even be grateful if it was Lucius that found her, but still no one came.

As the hours ticked by, Emma couldn't help the next name that slipped past her lips, a heart stopping cry she hadn't yet let out of her broken heart, "SIRIUS!"

Even though she knew he couldn't come for her she had screamed for him at the top of her lungs. Her thick tears roll down her face as she did so, crying to the stone cage she was currently imprisoned in for Sirius remembering he'd once told her he'd always come for her, that he'd never leave her, "I'll always come for you,". The words he'd said to her when her parents had died, when she had accused him, James and the others of wishing to leave her behind, to not keep her with them. She remembered the pain in his eyes, the hurt in his voice, "How could you think Lily or James would ever allow that to happen! Worst of all, how you possibly believe I'd do that to you? Why would you ever think I'd abandon you like that?"

During her time Emma had understandably not realized she'd been missing for several days. She hadn't found any way out and there was no magic binding a door closed, otherwise she would have blown that out, only there was no door that she could find, nothing. She was hungry and very dehydrated. Emma was getting weaker by the hours', by the day's, that she was missing.

June 28th, 1992

"What do you mean she's gone? My Aunt, our Aunt, wouldn't just leave us like this! What's going on Professors?" Percy demanded in horror, Emma had been gone for days, no one could find her, the ghosts had searched the entire Castle and found no sign of her, even the paintings helped and found nothing. Peeves had even helped, and the Bloody Baron had come back saddened they hadn't found her. By now, Dumbledore had been forced to inform the family of what had happened, he'd written Molly and Arthur Weasley and the others.

"As I have said, Percy, someone attacked her while she was working and took her, she has not been found in the Castle nor around the grounds of Hogwarts, we have the Centaurs looking through the Dark Forest also in search of her."

Molly and Arthur had come to gather the Weasley kids. Harry, who had begged not to be sent back to the Dursleys, but Dumbledore's hands were tied, he had to send the boy back otherwise the family that he was found with would most likely be charged with kidnapping. And he'd be in a worse bind, not to mention that Emma and Dumbledore would most likely be banned from ever having contact to the eleven-year-old boy. "I'm sorry, Harry. I have to send you back, Emma is missing, and they are the only family you have- blood family, Molly." Dumbledore clarified, looking to the red-haired woman who was about to speak up, "I have to send you back, whether we like it or not. I have no power in that case." Albus explained.

The poor boy had been in tears for his missing Aunt, but he was frightened to go back to the Dursleys, his freedom would be gone, taken away the second he was picked up, worse when they'd return to the house. He just got reunited with his aunt, she was finally back in his life, and now she was missing? Dumbledore had said she had been attacked quickly and that the office had been destroyed after the fact to look like she had put up a fight when she probably didn't even get the chance too.

"How do you know she didn't put up a fight, Professor?" Fred and George asked, they had pretty much read his mind, but they too looked just as bothered.

"A friend of ours is an Auror, he took a personal look at the destruction of the office and had concluded that had Emma put up the fight she usually does, the office would have been in a worse state." This left the boys, all of them, to look at Dumbledore in shock and disbelief. Though Molly understood completely, she had seen the destruction of the Potter's safe house firsthand after the tragedy.

"Trust me, I have seen the aftermath of your Aunt fighting for her life and or another's," Dumbledore started, he'd pointed a look at Harry as he'd spoken the line of protecting another, "And that office looked nothing like it possibly would have, had she had the chance to actually fight back."

July 5th, 1992

A noise brought her from her weak sleep state, it sounded like a latch of some kind, "Quickly, before they come for her." the feminine voice was familiar to her, but she was too weak to notice whose voice it belonged to. The lanterns had gone out a while ago, she couldn't tell days or hours from being underground, she only saw two faces, that of a frightened Narcissa Malfoy and an extremely worried Remus Lupin.

"Sissy? Remus?"

"Shh, Emma we got you... You're safe Foxy." Remus said softly to her, lifting her up into his arms, allowing Narcissa to wrap her cloak around the freezing, imprisoned redhead. Emma was nearly frozen, it was so cold in the 'dungeons', "Your safe sweet girl, hurry Remus. They're coming!" Narcissa panicked, tears of fear clouded her mind, "Curse me."

"What!" Remus looked up at her in shock.

"Curse. Me... Hurry, or I'm dead and so is my son! Curse me, Remus."

"No, claim I used Impero on you, I'm not hurting you-" Remus froze with sheer shock as a flash of red bolted passed his head, Narcissa's eyes misting with unshed tears brewing deeper in her eyes, "What are you doing!" he hissed, his mind hazing with confusion, fear and uncertainty.

Narcissa stood with a strong backbone, defiance and determination, "Curse me, or I'll make you!"

In a regretful two seconds, Remus pulled free his wand, a flash of blue flew at her, hitting Narcissa square in the chest sending her back into the far-off wall, knocking her out cold as he Disapparated out, without Narcissa.

It nearly killed him leaving her unconscious there. But he had no choice, she did the only thing she could think of to spare not only him and Emma but also herself and her son. Narcissa was likely going to attempt to claim she had gone to collect Emma only to be attacked by Remus. If anyone could sell that line, it was Narcissa Malfoy.
