Chapter Nine
In the morning, the whole school was talking about the break into the Gryfindor tower. Emily had been released from the hospital wing when lunch had begun. She headed into the Great Hall and many people were staring at her and whispering. She walked over to Filch and Mrs. Norris.
"What's going on?" Emily asked, looking around the room.
"Everybody is talking about how Black got away from you," Filch said, "you're on gaurd duty tonight."
Emily just nodded her head and left the Great Hall. After taking a few steps away, Remus ran over to her.
"It's not like you meant for him to get away," Remus said, looking at Emily.
"I know," Emily sighed, "just he did and there's nothing I can do about it."
"What did you do all yesturday?" Remus asked.
"I did what I usually do," Emily said, looking at Remus, "why? Is something wrong?"
Remus didn't say anything. His mind went back to last night after he dropped Emily off in the hospital wing.
Earlier
Remus walked back up to the Gryfindor common room to see if McGonagall needed any help. He walked in and McGonagall was talking to Sir Cadagon, who had just told her how Sirius got in. Than he said that someone else also entered just a few hours before him.
"Yes," Cadagon said, "there was that black haired woman. She also had that list of passwords. I don't know what she was doing, but she was in and out in a hurry."
McGonagall turned to Remus, who seemed to be shocked.
"Do you know why Emily would come in here?" McGonagall asked.
"I doubt it was her," Remus quickly said, "maybe Sirius used polyjuice potion."
"How would he of gotten it?" some sixth year asked.
"You really don't think she had something to do with this," Remus said, looking at McGonagall.
McGonagall looked around the room, than back at Remus.
"I don't know," McGonagall said, "I'll talk to Dumbledore and see what he thinks about the whole thing. Now, back to bed all of you."
"I honestly don't think she did it," Remus said, watching students go back to their rooms.
"I'm sure Dumbledore will sort it out," McGonagall said, patting Remus on the shoulder as she left the common room.
Present time
"Did I do something wrong?" Emily asked again.
"Oh no," Remus quickly said, snapping out of his thoughts.
They walked around the castle for awhile, before going outside and sitting down by the lake. Remus put an arm around Emily's shoulders. Emily gave a small laughing causing Remus to look at her.
"What's so funny?" Remus asked.
"Remember when James thought he could swim across the lake," Emily smiled, "those were good times."
"Ya," Remus sighed.
Emily looked around and noticed she was getting weird stares from some students.
"I honestly feel like I missed something," Emily said, looking at Remus, "are people mad cause he got away?"
"Probably," Remus said, looking around, "they just don't know the full story."
"Ya," Emily said, "it's weird though."
"What's weird?" Remus asked, looking at Emily.
"Why didn't he do it," Emily said, "think about it, he was up there and he could of done it."
"So why didn't he," Remus muttered, now seeming to be very interested into why Sirius didn't do what everyone thought he was going to do.
"I swear the sun goes down really fast here," Emily said, looking up in the sky to see the sun was already half way behind the mountains.
"Ya," Remus smiled.
Emily moved a bit closer to Remus, who just kept on smiling. Remus watched as the sun went down behind the mountains and darkness came. He looked down at Emily to see that she had fallen asleep. He sighed before picking her up and heading back inside. People stared at him when he walked passed, but he didn't seem to mind. He took Emily to her bedroom and laid her down on the bed, but she seemed to wake up as soon as he set her down.
"Did I fall asleep?" Emily whispered, looking up at Remus.
"Ya, you did," Remus said, sitting down on the bed.
"Sorry," Emily said.
"You look beautiful when you sleep," Remus whispered.
"So what I'm not beautiful when I'm awake?" Emily asked with a grin.
"You are," Remus laughed.
Emily reached up and wrapped her arms around Remus's neck. He smiled and gave her a kiss. She pulled him down while he was stil kissing her.
"I thought you were supposed to be on gaurd duty," Remus whispered.
"That can wait for now," Emily said, kissing Remus's neck.
