There was an awkward silence between both mother and daughter. Emilie sat tucking on her sleeves while her mother stared on trying to begin her story.

"It seems like your memory spell has had some side effects…" Emma started, clearing her throat at the end.

"Agreed, I think I need to know about my dad. After all I have got most of my memories back." Emilie said quietly, she was hesitant unsure whether she truly wanted to know about her father. She looked up and saw her mother nodding.

"Alright fine, Minerva owled me about this weeks ago. I should have told you then." Emma sighed in defeat. Emilie was slightly confused why her headmistress was so close with her mother but shrugged it off in a matter of moments.

"I'll start at the beginning. Well as you know, I was very close with my immature cousin James. We grew up together and then arrived at Hogwarts together too. It was then he founded his mischievous little gang and I became the annoying little cousin that always threatened to tell Aunt Dorthea. Anyway I grew close with Lily and joined her friend group. It was in our fifth year that I noticed your father, for some odd reason he'd stuck out for me that once. He'd came back from the summer and he'd grew taller, his hair longer, and well his voice had finally deepened."

Emilie smiled as she watched her mother remember, but she looked so sad.

"We had study classes together in the library, which was where we got to know each other better. I saw through him, that he wasn't just a troublemaker or an outcast. He was kind, thoughtful, understanding and well the full package really. We kept it to ourselves, meeting in secret. I don't think anyone knew until I told Lily a few weeks before her wedding. Only James and Lily knew, until I told Minerva when Lily fell pregnant." Emma's expression became neutral and Emilie put the pieces together.

"Sirius…he's my father isn't he?" She whispered.

"Yes, I knew it would be terrifying to have a child at a time like that but he wanted you so much. He wanted all of us to be a big family, to go around to James and Lily's and you to grow up alongside Harry like I did with James. He said he'd teach you all of his tricks and pranks and you'd be the best in your era." Emma smiled looking at her now silent daughter.

"It just wasn't meant to be and the night James and Lily were murdered and Sirius arrested. I panicked and fled, we were to tell everyone about our relationship on his birthday. But we never got to. We weren't even married, I took the name Jones since my favourite muggle book was Peter Pan and in my version Captain Hook was called Killian Jones. I promised to keep you safe."

"But you took me away from my world. Away from Harry, who was left alone at the Dursely's by the way?" Emilie almost shouted, out of shock at what had happened.

"Em, haven't we had this conversation before? There was nothing I could have done, I wasn't related to Lily by blood, and I couldn't have protected Harry like his aunt could." Emma sighed. There was silence once more.

"Thank you for telling me the truth but I think I'd like to speak to Harry for a bit." Emilie sighed, half smiling at her mother as she got up and left the room to find her cousin.

"Sirius is your dad?!" Harry exclaimed. Emilie nodded. They were in Harry's room, Emilie sitting on a spare chair rolling her wand in her hands.

"So that makes you Emilie Black." Harry sighed surprised.

"Actually Emilie Devon Black. My middle name came from where my mother took me first, she said she loved it there, it was peaceful." Emilie corrected him.

"When are you gonna tell everyone?" He asked, Emilie shrugged her shoulders.

"Well when you found out my dad was your godfather, were you rushing to tell everyone?" She asked him back.

"Em, that's different I thought he was going to murder me then! Your dad was a great man, I'm sorry you didn't get to meet him." Harry said softly, standing up to poke through his drawers. He turned around to show Emilie a wand. "It was your dad's, you should probably have it. I hid it here before I left last year."

"Similar to mine, wonder if mum noticed that." Emilie said twirling both wands in her hands. "Thanks Harry. We would have gotten into so much trouble as kids with our parents." She smiled, patting him on the shoulder before leaving the room to go and find Fred.

"Are we all settled then? Anyone want more hot chocolate made?" Molly Weasley asked the crowd gathered on the sofas. There was extra sofas brought from the flat and some were extended to fit the large family. Teddy had fallen asleep with marshmallows all sticking around his face and his mother wasn't too far behind. Tonks was snuggling into Remus with Teddy in between them.

"I don't think I've ever saw him this happy." Emma whispered to Molly.

On the other side of the room, all the "kids" were also snuggled up, empty hot chocolate mugs on the coffee table and Ron had managed to spill his down his shirt at one point. The clock chimed midnight and everyone opened their eyes.

"Merry Christmas everyone." Arthur was the first, then Remus followed by a string of teenagers and Teddy just rolled into his dad and sucked his thumb.

"Looks like it's time for bed for my little wolf. And me" Tonks yawned, gently lifting Teddy into her arms. Remus followed them up the stairs and into their room. He called a quick "See you all in the morning" before the family had disappeared.

Emilie could hear people talking and then she was getting lifted herself. She had fallen asleep along with Hermione around ten while Ginny and the boys had stayed up to talk. She clung to Fred's body and his jumper as he carried her up to their room, his smell engulfing her. Gently she was put down onto their extended bed and the covers brought over her.

"Merry Christmas Em, the first of many." Fred whispered in her ear, kissing her forehead and getting into bed himself. Emilie fell back asleep with a smile on her face.

OKAY I'M SO SORRY LIKE REALLY REALLY SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING. It's April and I'm writing about Christmas….I also have loads of exams coming up but I promise to work on this when I can. I can tell you that when Emilie gets back to Hogwart's things get interesting with a certain blonde haired slytherin.

I know a lot of you guessed Regulus but I had Sirius in my heart for so long with this story and decided to follow it through. It just made the story 10x more heartbreaking. Plus who doesn't want to cry their eyes out at the potential of Remus's family at Christmas?

Please leave a review as they are what keep me going x
