Chapter Five

About two weeks later, Dumbledore had come up with a plan and he decided to tell everyone at the secret order headquarters. Everyone was there. Dumbledore explained his plan to them and had told James he needed to pick a secret keeper.

"I want Sirius as my secret keeper," James said, looking at Sirius.

"I am honored," Sirius said.

"Won't it place them in harms way?" Lily asked, bouncing Harry on her lap.

"It may," Dumbledore said, "I'm sure that Sirius can handle it."

"I'm not worried about Sirius," Lily said, looking at Emily.

"I can protect myself," Emily said, looking at Lily.

"Well that is settled," Dumbledore said, "now Sirius, meet me at their house tomorrow."

Dumbledore left headquarters and everyone else started to leave. Lily had stopped Emily and pulled her to another room.

"You can't do this," Lily said, "you know one wrong move could harm the baby."

"I will be fine," Emily said, "would you stop worrying."

Emily left the other room and went back over to Sirius. Lily came out of the room. The only people left were James, Remus, Sirius, Emily, and Lily. Remus was the next one to leave.

"James, you can't let him," Lily said, going over to James.

"He can do it," James said, "I trust him."

"But we're putting them in harm," Lily said, "I would rather have someone else."

"I can do it, Lily," Sirius said, "We'll be fine."

"James, she's pregnant," Lily said, looking at Emily.

"Wow," James said, looking a bit shocked.

"I can stil do it," Sirius said, looking at James.

"Lily, if he wants to than let him," James said, than looked at Sirius with a stern look, "but you better make sure that she ain't there if you get attacked."

Sirius agreed that he would make sure they weren't there if anything happened. They both left after that and went home. When they got there, they went to the bedroom. Emily and Sirius laid down in bed. Sirius laid there, looking at Emily with a smile. He put one hand on her stomach, which was poking out a bit.

"Won't be able to hide it much longer," Sirius said.

"I know," Emily said with a sigh.

"I honestly can't wait," Sirius said with a small laugh.

"I know," Emily said.

"This is our small family," Sirius whispered, giving Emily a kiss.

Soon they were both asleep. The next day Sirius got out of bed and went to make breakfast. Emily came and joined him when he was finished. He made Emily a plate and they sat down at the table.

"When must you go?" Emily asked.

"In a bit," Sirius said, looking at Emily.

"Don't be late," Emily said.

Sirius just smiled and watched Emily eat. After he was finished he kissed her goodbye and left, but he didn't go to James. Instead he went to Peter's place. Peter jumped when Sirius came into his house.

"What are you doing here?" Peter asked, looking a bit scared.

"I need you to be Lily and James secret keeper," Sirius said, "you need to come with me now."

Peter just nodded his head and headed to James's house. When they got there, Dumbledore had been waitting for them.

"May I ask why Peter is here?" Dumbledore said, looking at Peter.

"I want him to be the secret keeper," Sirius said, looking at James, "look they will never suspect him."

"So you don't want to be it?" James asked, looking at Sirius.

"They will expect it to be me," Sirius said, "you know I would never betray you. I would die keeping it a secret. They won't suspect him. It will be perfect."

"Alright," James said, looking at Dumbledore, "he can be it."

"Very well than," Dumbledore said, with a smile, "he can be the secret keeper. Oh you can go than Sirius."

Sirius said goodbye to James and Lily and gave Harry a hug goodbye. He left and went back to his house. When he got there, he saw that Emily was laying on the couch, fast asleep. He went over and sat down on the floor. He ran his hand up and down Emily's stomach before she woke up.

"Is it done?" Emily asked.

"I let Peter do it," Sirius said, "thought it would be a better idea to have someone they wouldn't expect."

"That's a good idea," Emily said with a smile.

Sirius gave Emily a kiss before saying, "I want to get married."

"What?" Emily asked, looking shocked, "when?"

"Right now," Sirius said, "we should go get it done right now."

"That's a bit soon," Emily said giving a small laugh.

"Than later," Sirius said, "we should do it soon."

Emily rolled her eyes before sitting up on the couch. Emily stopped and touched her stomach.

"Is something wrong?" Sirius asked, looking worried.

"No," Emily said, looking at Sirius, "the baby moved."

Sirius touched her stomach with a smile before saying, "see, the baby thinks it's a good idea."

"Later," Emily said with another small laugh.

Emily got up off the couch and headed to the bedroom. Sirius followed after her. They laid down on the bed and fell asleep for about five hours. Sirius woke up and looked outside. He felt like there was something wrong. He looked down at Emily, who was stil sleeping. He quickly left the house and got on his motorcycle. He flew off to James's house. When he got there, he was shocked at what he saw. Hagrid was there, holding something. Sirius quickly went over to him.

"What happened?" Sirius asked.

"James and Lily are dead," Hagrid said, "Harry, survived."

"Let me take him," Sirius said, looking down at Harry.

"No," Hagrid said," I have strict orders to get him to Dumbledore."

"Well than take my bike," Sirius said, handing Hagrid the key.

Hagrid nodded his head and took the bike. Sirius watched them fly away and he ran off.

"I'm going to kill him," Sirius yelled, "where the hell are you Peter."
