Chapter Eleven

Months had gone by and winter was now over. Remus had told Emily that he was teaching Harry the petromus charm so he wouldn't be able to do as much as usual. Emily understood and knew he had to do it. Emily had been leaving the castle late at night with a bag of food. No one ever seemed to notice that she left, well at least that what she hoped. She would sneak off the grounds and to the shrieking shack. She was going there tonight, since Remus had said he would be busy helping Harry. She had her usual bag of chicken with her as she entered the shrieking shack. She walked around for awhile, before entering a room where a dog lay on a dusty bed. The dog looked up at her and gave a small whine.

"I'm shocked they don't check this place," Emily whispered, sitting down next to the dog, "I got you more chicken like you asked for."

Just than the dog turned into a human. Emily smiled as she handed the bag to Sirius.

"Thank you," Sirius said, "been feeling sick lately."

"You look horrible," Emily said, looking around.

"No one suspect you?" Sirius asked, eating his chicken.

"Not that I know of," Emily said with a sigh, "So, you believe he is here than?"

"He is," Sirius said, "I saw him, with that Weasley boy."

"Ron Weasley you say," Emily said, "Yes, I know him. He says that Hermione's cat ate him."

"The cat did not eat him," Sirius said, "and if he did, I'm sure the cat would of died from the horrible taste."

"Ya, you're probably right," Emily said with a small laugh.

"He is there," Sirius whispered, "you must keep an eye out for him."

"I will," Emily said, looking at Sirius.

"You're so beautiful," Sirius said, running one of his hands down Emily's cheek.

"You get some rest," Emily said, "you do need to make sure you have plenty of strength for this."

"I will," Sirius said, giving Emily a kiss on the cheek, "you better go."

Emily stood up and watched Sirius turn back into a dog. She walked to the door and turned around.

"I'll try to bring more food next time," Emily said.

Emily turned back toward the door and left the shrieking shack. She got back to the castle and headed up to Remus's class to see if he might of been done with Harry, but he wasn't. She gave a sigh and just walked around the school. She was turning a corner when she ran into Snape.

"You need to watch where you're going," Snape hissed.

"Same as you," Emily said, rolling her eyes.

"Oh please," Snape said, looking at Emily, "I see right through your disguise. You're only here to help Sirius into the castle."

"I am not," Emily said, looking a bit mad, "how dare you suggest that."

"Its as plain as day," Snape hissed, "you're here cause you know he will come here. I'm sure it won't be long until someone ends up hurt and it will be your fault."

"Why do you think it's me?" Emily asked, folding her arms.

"I have seen you leave the castle," Snape hissed, with an evil grin on his face, "you don't think I don't know what you're doing."

Snape left, while Emily just rolled her eyes. She turned around to to that Harry had been listening.

"Oh hello," Emily said, looking around, "when did you get here?"

"Pretty much at the beginning," Harry said, not looking happy.

"Shouldn't you be heading to be," Emily said, looking a bit embarrassed.

Harry nodded his head, but stopped as he walked passed her. He turned to her.

"You know," Harry said, "if you are helping him, than you're helping him to kill me."

Emily turned around to him and just stared at him.

"How do you know he's going to kill you?" Emily asked with a smile.

"And you think he's not going to?" Harry asked, looking a bit shocked.

"I believe he ain't going to," Emily said, "you and I should have a talk one day, but not right now. It's late, so go to bed."

Harry didn't seem to look like he wanted to talk to her. He turned around and left. Emily watched him leave with a sigh.

"I don't see why you must make people mad," Remus said, walking up behind her.

"I don't," Emily said, turning around to face him, "or I don't mean to."

"Did you know that Harry had the map?" Remus asked, taking the map out of his pocket.

"Oh wow," Emily said, looking at the map, "I remember, Peter got it taken our last year."

"Ya, and guess who he said he saw?" Remus asked, looking very serious.

"Who?" Emily asked, looking very curious.

"Peter," Remus said, "I thought Sirius killed him."

"You really thought he did it?" Emily asked in shock.

"Well, ya," Remus said, looking around, "there was really no proof that he didn't do it."

"Ya," Emily said with a sigh, "only Dumbledore knew that Sirius didn't become their secret keeper."

"So he is innocent," Remus said with a small laugh, "this whole time I thought my best friend was a killer."

Emily just smiled and they headed back to Remus's office to talk about the situation. Emily was happy that someone else knew the truth and hopefully soon everyone would to.
