On the last day of holiday, Alicia, Emily, Draco, and Jamie all lounged around the upstairs bedroom where Buckbeak was. Emily found it comical that Draco would go nowhere remotely near Buckbeak. He leaned up against the farthest wall from them and Emily took the time to smirk at him occasionally. Alicia and Jamie would also chuckle when every time Emily would pet Buckbeak’s feathers, Draco would flinch.
“You know, maybe if you’d just bow,” Emily repeated for the umpteenth time. Jamie rolled his eyes at her as Draco sighed.
“Just like the last thousand times I’ve told you, I’m not going anywhere near that bloody chicken,” Draco muttered. Emily tried to hide her smile as she turned back to Buckbeak. She decided to lay against his side, resting her head on top of his wing. Draco was now glaring at her.
“What?” she asked innocently. He narrowed his eyes and she fought back a grin.
“You know what. And you know being near that thing makes me uncomfortable…” “Is that why you’re over there? Far away from us?” Emily asked sarcastically. Jamie started laughing quietly as Alicia smiled.
“Not funny. Why can’t you just sit over here? Where we can admire…it from a distance?” Draco asked seriously.
“Because I like Buckbeak and you’re the chicken,” she said in a matter of fact tone. Draco rolled his eyes, refusing to move any closer to them.
After a little while, Emily claimed that she was thirsty, so she and Alicia left for the kitchen. They heard shouting and quickened their pace.
The busted through the door to find Harry shouting at Sirius, Sirius basically shoving his wand down Snape’s throat, and Snape, looking calm as he, too, had his wand pointed at Sirius. Emily gasped as she hurried to Harry’s side.
“I’ve warned you, Snivellus, I don’t care if Dumbledore thinks you’ve reformed, I know better—” Sirius was saying.
“Oh, but why don’t you tell him so?” Snape interrupted.
“Or are you afraid he might not take the advice of a man who has been hiding inside his mother’s house for six months seriously?” Snape whispered. Emily’s jaw hardened.
“Tell me, how is Lucius Malfoy these days? I expect he’s delighted his lapdog’s working at Hogwarts, isn’t he?” “Speaking of dogs, did you know that Lucius Malfoy recognized you last time you risked a little jaunt outside? Clever idea, Black, getting yourself seen on a safe station platform…gave you a cast-iron excuse not to leave your hidey-hole in future, didn’t it?” Snape whispered, his eyes glistening. Sirius raised his wand slightly and Emily leaped forward.
“No!” Harry yelled, trying to get in between them.
“Dad! Don’t,” Emily begged as she tried to pull his wand arm down.
“It’s not worth it!”
“Are you calling me a coward?” Sirius roared. Emily flinched at the edge in his tone. Sirius tried to push Harry out of the way, but Harry wouldn’t budge.
“Why, yes, I suppose I am,” Snape said.
“Harry—get—out—of—it!” Sirius snarled as he pushed Harry out of the way.
“Emily! Argh! Get off me!” he said murderously. He shoved her back too and her footing caught. She fell on top of Alicia, who was right behind her, also trying to get Sirius to stop.
The kitchen door suddenly opened and all of the Weasleys and Hermione, Jamie, and Draco came into the kitchen.
“Cured!” Mr. Weasley announced.
“Completely cured!” he said brightly. And then he froze, as did the others. Jamie and Draco were staring between Sirius, Snape, and Harry to Emily and Alicia, who were still on the floor.
“Merlin’s beard, what’s going on here?” Mr. Weasley said as his smile dropped into a frown. Sirius and Snape lowered their wands and, after stowing his wand in his robes, Snape left Grimmauld Place.
“But what’s been going on?” Mr. Weasley asked again.
“Nothing, Arthur,” Sirius said.
“Just a friendly chat between two old school friends…”
Emily huffed as Draco and Jamie helped her and Alicia up from the floor. She glared at her father, who was now talking to Arthur about him being cured.
“Why can’t you grow up?” she shouted at him, her hands balled into fists. Everyone went silent as Sirius spun around, his eyes going large.
“What?” he asked in surprise.
“It’s so stupid! You’re an adult! Why can’t you get over these stupid, idiotic school boy fights? Why can’t you act your age, not your shoe size?” she snarled. Sirius’ face flushed red as she started to walk past him, Draco, Jamie, and Alicia following after her.
“Act my age or act like Remus?” Sirius finally shouted.
Emily rounded on him, surprise clear in her features.
“I never said that!” she said loudly.
“But you meant it?” he countered.
"You think I don't see the way you look at him and not me? You think I don't notice how you trust him with every part of you, but you hardly ever talk to me? You think I can't see that you love him more than you love your own flesh and blood?" Sirius whispered. Emily was already shaking her head.
“No, I didn’t! I don't! Stop trying to turn my words around! I love you the same!” Emily shouted, but he just ignored it.
“You may not like it, but I am your father, Emily, and you will not speak to me that way again.” Sirius glared at her and she looked back in confusion.
“I never said I didn’t like—” Emily began as tears welled up in her eyes.
“You’re grounded. Go to your room,” he said loudly, talking over her. Emily stared at him with her jaw hanging open.
“Emily, don’t,” Alicia warned, stepping forward.
“I hate you,” Emily whispered to Sirius before she ran up the stairs, awakening her grandmother.
