I realized I never put up a picture of what Emma looked like. This is the youngest picture of a girl for what I imagined Emma as, with Lily's red hair and James' brown eyes. I'll post pictures of her as she gets older, and I'll probably be able to refigure some fan art of James and Lily, or Harry and Ginny to make it look like Emma and Harry together.

Also, if anyone wants to draw fan art I am completely open to it. You can email it to me, or DM it to me on instagram through the account alexp_wattpad. If you choose email, please ask me for my email, I will not put it out publicly. EVER.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At first, only those who weren't close to being asleep noticed that someone else had entered the room. James had long since placed Harry in a cot, letting the two year old sleep peacefully after wearing himself out sobbing. James was sitting at the table that Lily's body was laying on, looking as though she was sleeping. It hadn't been long since he'd taken hold of her hand and laid his head on the table. Most of the order that was there, was either just talking quietly, or letting the peace stand, and letting James be. Both Sirius and Remus, were talking standing by the fireplace, occasionally glancing over at James, or one of the two children. Both of them had turned to look at the doorway when the person entered, both having very different reactions.

Sirius took a step forward, towards the entrance to the room. "The hell are you doing here Peter?!" He asked getting everyone's attention in the room. Immediately wands were drawn from those closest to the door, making Peter freeze. "I-i just came to...to see if the news had spread..." He said carefully, eyeing Lily's body carefully, not seeing James any where because of how the elder Potter was sitting. "Yeah. Believe it or not we've heard." Remus said dryly. "It's funny Peter. How you think that we wouldn't know who told Voldemort where we were hiding and that you wouldn't get punished for it." James said sitting up, making all the color from Peter's face drain out. "J-james." He squeaked surprised, having thought that James was also dead. "I thought you were-" "Dead? Yeah I know. I'm not. But Lily is. And just so you know, Harry survived." James spat at Peter as he stood up.

Peter started to move backwards but two of the other order members caught him keeping him from running. One removed his wand, to keep him from drawing his wand on James. "It's your fault Peter. Your fault she's dead!" James snapped, feeling Sirius and Remus grab the back of his jacket to keep him from attacking Peter, even though they both thought Peter deserved it. "Contact Albus, ask him what we should do." Remus said, as he and Sirius kept a struggling James from going after Peter. "Let me go, It's his fault. IT'S HIS FAULT!" He shouted, to overcome with grief to think straight. "James...." Sirius said, keeping his friend in place, as James fought to get to Petter. "HIS FAULT! HIS...fault...." "We know. But you have to calm down." Sirius said calmly in a soothing tone. James eventually calmed down, but that was after Peter was removed from the room, bound, and unconscious with a guard with him, and several charms placed on the bindings to keep him in place, and from transforming into his animagus form.

Remus and Sirius forced James to sit down in a chair, seeing as him yelling had woken Emma up and she had started to cry. Sirius scooped up the small infant, placing her in James' arms to see if that would help James calm down, but also to see if calming her down, would help James calm down himself.

James had to force himself to calm down after the encounter with Peter, mainly so he could calm down his crying daughter. He cradled her gently, holding her against his chest as he sat with his back to the door, staring at the fire. Sirius and Remus let him be, knowing that James need his space after this entire ordeal; and everything that had happened over the course of the night. Sirius watched as James gently rocked Emma in his arms, rubbing the little girls back as he did: until she fell asleep. James ended up starting to doze off himself as he sat there, Remus moving to take Emma before Sirius, with the help of Kingsley, moved James to one of the spare bedrooms in the house; letting him rest on one of the beds. Remus and another order member bringing Harry and Emma, along with their cots to be next to the bed so that James was still close to his children, and that they were with their father.

I know it's short. But, the next chapter will be a little bit more joyful, and so gloomy among other things. But, I got some questions for y'all.

1) Who wants Lily to come at some point in time?
2) I've been thinking of possible pairings for Emma, just for future chapters, and I want opinions on who I should indefinitely pick.
    a) Fred or George Weasley ( i'm debating on sticking with plots or not.)
    b)(don't hate me for this one)Draco Malfoy
    c) Dean Thomas
    d) Neville Longbottom
3) I am planing on having Remus or Sirius die at some point, wether it be when they did in the books, or at different times, but it will be included. But who would you rather see live?
    a) Sirius?
    b) Remus?

I've got you. Both of you, and I'll never let you go....Where stories live. Discover now
