"Wait what?" Emily looked at Moody with a quizzical expression.

"We need you in the order." Moody repeated.

"No she will not!" Sirius exclaimed.

"Indeed she won't!" Molly shouted.

"Molly, I am touched that you care so much about me, but you are not responsible for my choices. As for Black, you have no say in this." Emily was about to reply to Mad-Eye when Sirius interrupted her.

"What do you mean, 'I have no say in this'! I am your father!"

"Ah, but there's the problem. You never acted like a father. Never. You only say this now because you're be jealous. You ignored me in my third year. You ignored me in my fourth year. You have been ignoring me up till now, not caring where I was and how I was doing, and now you are suddenly allowed to say stuff for me now?" Emily asked.

"I agree with Emily." the adults in the room gasped, turning to face Remus as he stood. "I have been there, not all, but a few of the times when Emily and Padfoot were in the same room, and he didn't pay her any attention. he doesn't give a sh*t about her. I'm not saying that I was always there for her, and that I always treated her perfectly, but I do now. If Emily wants to join the order, then I stand behind her choice." Remus stated.

"Moony. You can't be serious." Sirius whispered.

"No, cause you are." Remus joked before going full on serious, "Yes, I am Padfoot. Nothing you can do can change that." 

"Ok. I'm in." Emily stated. Molly pushed all of the kids (except for Emily) out of the room, and the order meeting started.

"You-know-who is after something he needs. Something he didn't have last time. We still have no clue what it is, but we do know that it is in the department of mysteries." Moody said.

"Maybe it's a weapon?" Sturgis Podmore suggested.

"Or maybe a prisoner?" Elphias Doge asked.

"Why would they keep a prisoner in the ministry building?" someone else asked.

"Why not?" Ephias countered.

"Maybe it's a prophecy. I remember Black saying when I was still a baby, that there was a prophecy made about Harry and Voldemort. Maybe Voldemort only heard part of it, and now he wants to know the rest." Emily said. Everybody flinched when she said you-know-who's name.

"That is a possibility. Elphias, you shall be guarding duty tonight, and Tonks, you are going to be on duty tomorrow." the older man and a young woman with short, bubble-gum pink hair nodded. "Ok. Now, we have some blueprints of the department of mysteries, we need to know where we should station ourselves, so that if death eaters try to infiltrate, then we have the advantage." Everybody crowded around the blueprints to get a good look.

"I think we should position ourselves there." Emily pointed towards a corner. "Then we are well-hidden, but still have a good overview of the area, and are still close enough to protect the door if necessary."

"That's a bad idea, I say we should position ourselves here." Sirius Black pointed to wards the exact opposite spot of where Emily had her finger's placed.

"That's a good idea." Alastor Moody mused.

"Thank you." Sirius bragged.

"No, I ment Emily Black's idea. We are then well hidden, and have a good attacking range and the element of surprise." Sirius Black grumbled.

"Thanks." Emily said politely. The order meeting was soon finished, and Emily walked upstairs towards her room. She however stopped as she heard explosions coming from the twins' rooms.

She poked her head inside, "You two alright?" she asked concerned.

"Yup!" George said excitedly, his face black of the explosion. "We're just working on our Explosion Eclairs!"

"Alright. I'll be going then. See ya!" Emily started to walk away, but Fred caught her wrist. 

"We could, perhaps use some help with potion making, for homework. Professor Snape always brags about how good this gryffindor kid in your year is soooo good at potions. We asked all the gryffindors in your year about potions, and they all said that it was either you, or Hermione, and Hermione said it was you, sooo... Will you help us?" Emily chuckled at his little speech, then said, "Sure. No problem."

They worked late into the night, working on an edurus potion, which then the could also use for their sweets later on. After 3 hours of hard work the boys had perfected it, and they had successfully turned a frog (transfigured from a leaf, courtesy of Emily) into stone, and Emily had turned it back alive. She opened the window and it jumped out. "Farwell, Trevor the second. May you live happily in the wild." Emily just finished talking when an eagle swooped by, grabbing the poor frog for dinner. "He lived a good life. Born from a leaf, turned to stone, then let free, only to live for a few seconds, tasting freedom, which was too far away to poor Trevor the second, because he sadly got chosen for an eagle's dinner." Fred mourned. All three of them burst into laughter. "Night." Emily told the boys, heading towards her room.

"Night." the boys said.

The next morning she and the twins buried a rock and dressed in black, as tribute to Trevor the second. Everybody in the house was severely confused about what they were doing, and the twins and Emily decided to keep Trevor the second a secret, finding it hilarious as they said 'their goodbyes to a good friend'.

After the 'funeral' they all burst into an uncontrollable laughter. The windows shook as they laughed.

It was as if the house was laughing with them, finding the joke funny. Who knows? Maybe the house was alive. You could never know with the Blacks. Emily walked over to grandma Walburga's portrait. "Why are you so red in the face dear? And why are you wearing black?" it sounded so weird that Emily couldn't contain her laughter. "Sorry grandma, I just lost Trevor the second." Emily apologised. The portrait of the woman looked even more confused (if that was even possible), and Emily burst into a fresh wave of laughter. "Sorry. Inside joke." she apologised again, before saying her goodbyes, and heading towards the kitchen to continue laughing with Fred and George.

A/N - Helio people!! How are you on this fine day! This will be the last chapter until I return from my summer holidays --> as I will not bring my laptop with me. I hope you are enjoying the story so far.

Never forget that there will always be someone to catch you if you fall, but sometimes, you've just got to catch yourself.
