Chapter Twelve
Remus walked around the house, while Lily followed him around.
"This is going to be great," Lily said, looking up at Remus.
"Ya, great," Remus said, giving her a half smile.
"Do you not like me?" Lily asked.
"No, I like you," Remus quickly said, "just need time to adjust to the whole thing."
Lily stopped walking and watched Remus disapear down another hall. She sighed and went to her room. Remus kept walking around the house, thinking about what he should do. After an hour of walking around, he finally went to talk to Lily, who was sitting in the kitchen, reading a book.
"Hey," Remus said, sitting down next to Lily.
"About time," Lily muttered, not even looking up from her book.
"Forgive me," Remus sighed, "just thought with what happened last year at school, I just thought she would of told me."
"Wait, what thing?" Lily asked, looking at Remus.
"Oh," Remus smiled, "you didn't notice."
"Sorry, no," Lily whispered, "I wasn't really paying attention."
Remus gave a small laugh. Lily smiled, before giving him a hug. He smiled and hugged her back. They didn't notice that Sirius had been standing in the doorway, with a grin on his face. He stared at them for a few more seconds, before leaving the room.
The months started to go by. Remus said goodbye to Lily as she left for Hogwarts. He than spent most of his time trying to get other werewolves on Dumbledore's side. He had hoped to see Emily somewhere among them, but no such luck.
Though, he didn't seem to notice, that Emily had noticed him a few times, though she was forbidden to leave the house without Greyback's permission. She sat by the window, always looking outside at all the people there.
Emily had saw Remus there a few times over the next few months, but he never stayed long and he was never there when she wasn't inside. Than came the day she heard what happened at the Ministry of Magic. She had asked what was going to happen now, but Greyback wouldn't tell her anything.
"One day," Greyback growled, runing his clawed fingers through Emily's hair.
"Will this day be anytime soom?" Emily asked, standing up and facing Greyback.
"Soon," Greyback growled, before grabbing her hair and dragging her to another room.
Remus was sitting in a bar, talking to some others about what Dumbledore had to offer, but they didn't seem to be believing much of it. About three hours of talking to them, he left. He walked down the street and was passing by a house when he heard a scream from inside. He looked at the house and heard it again. He pulled out his wand and took a step when someone stopped him.
"You don't want to go in there," some old man said, looking at the house, "that's Greyback's place."
"Who's screaming?" Remus asked.
"Some girl he picked up awhile ago," old man said, shaking his head, "he has a new one like every year."
Remus watched the old man walk off, before looking back at the house. He could stil hear the screams, but he quickly walked away. He told Dumbledore that no one seemed to be listening to him. Dumbledore told him not to give up so quickly and to just keep trying.
More months went by, and Dumbledore said they needed to gaurd the castle. He didn't tell any of them why, just that he would need more people there this night. Everyone agreed and went to gaurd the castle.
It has been about two years now that Emily has been at Greybacks and she so far didn't find any information, not even from Dumbledore.
Emily sat in the corner of the house. She was wearing short pants and a shirt that showed her stomach with long sleeve that hung off her shoulders. She was also wearing a collar around her neck. She had alot of scratchs in random places over her body. Her hair was down almost to her knees. She also looked skinnier than usual and you could see her ribs.
Greyback came into the house and looked at her.
"Come on now," Greyback growled, "we got a job to do."
Emily just nodded her head and got up. She followed Greyback out of the house. He led her somewhere, where there were Death Eaters waiting.
"Why you bringing her?" Bellatrix asked, looking at Emily in disgust.
"She may be helpful," Greyback growled, pushing Emily forward, "she behaves and will do what you ask."
Emily just nodded her head and they were off again. She followed them into this cabnet. She looked around when she stepped out and was shocked at where they were. They stepped out of the room of requirement. Emily followed Greyback, but to everyone's shock, they were attacked.
Emily ducked and hid behind a statue while the fight was going on. She watched as Death Eaters ran around and some ran upstairs. She watched as other tried to follow and were thrown back. Greyback looked around, before growling.
Emily continued to watch the fight and saw Snape pulling Malfoy along, than watched the Death Eaters start leaving. Greyback looked around, before following them. Emily watched as some red haired guy followed after them.
Emily quickly ran to see what he was doing. She watched him try to curse Greyback and watched as Greyback attacked him. Emily hid again so he wouldn't see her. She sat on the ground and sat there for about a half hour.
She got up and looked around, everyone was gone. She knew where they must be. She slowly walked up to the hospital wing. She peeked inside and saw some blonde haired girl tending to the boy who Greyback attacked.
"She don't care that he's a werewolf," Tonks was yelling.
Emily looked at who she was yelling at to see it was Remus.
"It's not the same," Remus said, looking at Tonks.
Emily slowly entered the room and slowly walked over to them.
"I like you, Remus," Tonks said, trying not to cry.
"Oh my god," Arthur said, looking at Emily, who he just noticed.
Everyone turned to look at Emily in shock. Emily looked at Remus with a small smile.
"Miss me?" Emily asked, looking around.
"Where have you been?" Remus asked, looking Emily up and down.
"Greybacks," Emily said, looking at Remus, "I was there for like 2 years and you didn't seem to notice. I saw you a few times from the house."
Remus thought about it for a second, than remembered that day he had passed the house and there was screaming. He looked at the ground when he realized that she had been the one screaming.
"What were you doing there?" Molly asked.
"I honestly don't remember," Emily said, looking at Molly, "I think I was supposed to get information."
"Did you get any?" McGonagall asked, hoping she might of found out something.
"Um...I don't think so," Emily said, looking at the ground, "sorry."
"You look horrible," Tonks said.
Emily looked down at herself, than back at everyone.
"Wow," Emily said, giving a small laugh, "I left the house wearing this."
"She'll be fine," Remus said, putting a hand on Emily's shoulder.
Tonks looked back and forth from Emily to Remus. She turned around and walked over to Molly and Arthur.
"Why don't you take her to get a shower," McGonagall suggested, "and maybe take her to the kitchen for food."
Remus nodded his head and led Emily out of the hospital wing. They walked down the hall in silence for about five minutes.
"How is she doing?" Emily asked, looking at Remus.
"Good," Remus smiled, looking at Emily.
"She hasn't been a problem at all?" Emily asked.
"No, she's been perfect," Remus sighed, "why didn't you tell me?"
"Oh," Emily said, looking shocked, "I thought it was obvious."
"Well, it was," Remus laughed, "to everyone but me. Sirius pointed it out."
"Ya, I heard about what happened to him," Emily sighed, "I feel bad cause I wasn't there."
"You couldn't of done anything," Remus said, looking a bit sad now.
Emily just nodded her head as they walked down the hall. Emily gave a small laugh as they walked back into her old room. She looked around, and it hadn't changed at all. Remus closed the door as Emily went into the bathroom. She turned on the shower with a smile. Remus stood there in the bathroom doorway. He was shocked that she didn't care that he was there as she got undressed. He looked at her back, at all the cuts that were everywhere.
Emily looked back at him, before getting into the shower. Remus went and sat down on the bed with sigh. He looked at the ground before he started to cry. Emily peeked out of the shower at him. She sighed, before continued with her shower. She stayed in there for about a half hour. She stepped out of the shower and saw a towel, so she wrapped it around herself. She saw that Remus was stil sitting there, but he had stopped crying.
"Are you okay?" Emily asked, sitting down next to Remus.
"Ya, I will be," Remus said, looking at Emily with a smile.
Emily quickly gave him a kiss. He wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Food," Emily whispered, looking at Remus.
"Get dressed first," Remus said.
Emily looked around, than back at Remus, who pulled out his wand and conjured her some clothes. Emily quickly got dressed, looking happy she finally had clothes that covered her up more.
"Now," Remus said, standing up, "lets go get you some food."
