Chapter 17 – Home

Elizabeth's P.O.V.

I was able to go home about two hours after I woke up that last time. Carlisle had assured me that James was completely gone. He said that he had been completely disintegrated in the blast of my spell. He said that there was nothing left at all. That had been the highlight of my day.

Sirius had been particularly smug since we'd told him what Emmett and his family is. He seemed very proud of himself for keeping his knowledge a secret for over three months. If he gave me that stupid smug smile one more time, I was going to slap it right off his face.

Remus kept me in his sight at all times. He knew that Emmett had saved me and he knew that he would do nothing to hurt me, but he still didn't completely trust him. He thought that Emmett would show up and take me away to keep me 'safe.'

I sighed. I was sitting in the kitchen with Sirius, waiting for Remus to come back from the potion storage room. He was going to bring some potions that would fully heal the bones that were broken. Sirius sat with an arm around my shoulders.

"Are you alright, pup?" he murmured.

I nodded, "Why wouldn't I be?"

"You seem out of it. You're thinking. I can tell."

I sighed and rested my head on his shoulder. I whispered so that Remus wouldn't hear, "I wish Emmett was here. It seems only right that he should be here because he saved me. And… I just really want him here. No offense, because you two are great, but I just feel… safer when he's around."

Sirius kissed my temple, "I'm sure Remus will come around. He just doesn't want you hurt."

"I'm going to get hurt," I said. "He needs to realize that. With who I am and what I have to do, I'm going to get hurt. And there's nothing he can do to fix that."

Sirius sighed and held me closer, "I know that, and he knows that. But, Elizabeth, you have to realize that we're going to do everything we can to protect you for as long as we can."

"Alright!" Remus announced, stepping into the room with a potion in his hand. "Let's get you fixed up."

I nodded and sat up straight. Remus pressed the potion into my hand, "It would be best just to down it in one."

I nodded and took one large gulp. The potion seared my throat on the way down, and left a rotten eggs aftertaste. I doubled over, gagging. Sirius helped me straighten back up. I sagged into his arms, "Ugh… that was nasty."

Remus held out a glass of water and I gulped it down.

"Keep the cast on your hand until bedtime," Remus said. "We want to make sure that the potion worked. And take it easy."

I nodded and walked into the living room. There, I plopped down on the couch and turned on the TV.

I really hoped Emmett would be waiting in my room come bedtime.

HPHPHPHPHPHPHP

I wasn't disappointed. I stepped into my bedroom and put the silencing charms in place. I turned and Emmett was sitting on my bed. "Hi," I said quietly.

"Hey," he stared at me. "Are you alright?"

I nodded, "I'm fine."

He pointed to my hand, "I thought you broke your hand and had two broken ribs."

"I took some potions to heal them," I sat down beside him. "Are you alright?"

He took a very large breath, shook his head, and lunged at me. I let out startled yelp as I was pushed against the headboard. Emmett held me close and kissed every part of me: my lips, my cheeks, my forehead, my neck, my shoulders. He stroked my cheeks and hair and never took his hands off me.

"Emmett!" I gasped. "What—what are you…?"

"I'm so sorry!" he dry sobbed, holding me tighter. "I knew something was going to happen when I left for school, and I knew that I should've stayed home, but didn't! And you were almost killed for it! I should just leave! I should just leave because it would keep you safe—"

He was abruptly stopped when my hand connected hard with his cheek. "No!" I said fiercely. "You said you wouldn't leave me! And I'm not going to let you! I swear to God, if you even think about leaving me just because you think it would keep me safe, then I will not hesitated to let hexes fly! Calm down! It was not your fault!"

Emmett stared at me and then buried his face in my neck. "I'm sorry," he whispered.

I sighed and ran my fingers through his hair, "It's alright, Emmett. It's alright."

Emmett looked up at me, and then kissed me deeply. I grabbed two fist-fulls of his hair and held him there. Emmett tightened his hold on me and flipped us over so that I was on top of him.

I wanted to stay in his arms with his lips on his mine forever, but I soon needed air. I broke away breathlessly and stared into his adoring eyes. I kissed his nose and snuggled into his chest, "Please don't leave."

"Never," he promised.

I smiled in content as he pulled the covers over us.

It was good to be home.

I know! I know! It's crappy, but I had no clue what to do with this chapter! Please don't hate me!

I have a new story up. It's called Ron's P.O.V. It's basically Ron's thoughts as he and Haley Potter go through Hogwarts. Please give it a try! And please review it!

Don't forget to review for this story, too!
