great post

Thanks, Kerri! ^_^

Hello Emily. Very nice writing. So sad, so very sad. This one thing kind of bothers me though. And it isn't wrong or bad or anything like that but I don't know, it's almost like it's a choice she has to make, or a challenge from George. But at the same time it is meant I think to be an encouragement for her. I hope I am explaining what I'm thinking without criticizing or faulting you, because it is'nt either thing. Anyway, this is the part. I'll catch you later, and I'll be watching for your next post.

Thanks, Connie. ^_^
It's not a challenge at all, nor a choice... It's just him encouraging her that everything will be okay. I don't really see how can be construed as a challenge or choice, it was just him being there for her and letting her know that they can get through these losses together and that, though it will hurt for a while, they will be able to get through this.

Hey Emily :cry:

I think this is my favourite banner. I'm not sure. It was a sad post. It brought a tear to my eye :(

It can't be good for them caskets to sit there. Espesially since it was once a place where so many good things happened :console:

I like how you wrote this bit. It was very good. I liked the repetitivness-if thats even a word, but you know what I mean, right? The wee soul must feel so lost. I don't know what I'd do without my dad :console:

I never thought I'd say this but I don't even think george could make all the bad go away

I hope she knows that she has those little babies to live for too! She knows how horrible it is to not have a mum or daddy. She would be leaving the twins like..... her parent figures too

My mum still does this. She wears my grampas jammie bottoms. Its so sad, but it makes them feel close to there loved ones. My mum swears she can still smell my grampa on them. Some might find it creepy, but I think its so sad

She's not saying goodbye :( They'll still be there lookiing over her, George and the twins. They'd never leave her. They promised :console:


Great Post Emily. We all need glomps :( It was so sad. Don't post too quickly! Cause the next one is the last one :cry: I hope Emily will feel that she has something to live for like the twins. She has her full life ahead of her.
Soph :console: x

I don't think - I know I loved this heattbreaking post Emily :)

PS Lauren is really busy and is trying to get on but is doing some baby prep and talking to the police about the rape and they actually found the guy that attacked her, sent him to jail, but then when he found out that he got her pregnant he hung himself. :( I feel really bad for his family and Lauren feels guilty and says it's all her fault when it's not...anyways she wanted to say sorry for not being on but is still reading ur updates through me and my computer and says she wants to thank u for being there supporting her through everything :)

!Jesse!, *Lauren*'s delivery owl ;)

Thank you! ^_^
That is too true, but she still has George and Harry and what not.
:lmao: It'll be okay :console:
No crying, Missy!
Awe, thank you; there are still two more banner's to come :) At least it was just a tear, and not many tears? :console:
I felt like they needed to be buried there, because that's where Remus proposed to Tonks, so it's kind of their tree...
Awe, thank ya, thank ya! repetition ^_^
I don't think it's creepy. It is a bit sad, but at least it makes her feel closer to him :glomp:
In a way, she's saying goodbye, but she isn't... You'll see.
Thanks, Sophie! :glomp:
*Glomptacklesyourredhead* A little better? :glomp:
No, no, my dear, we have two left ^_^ The next one AND the Epilogue. And I'm pacing them about 5 days apart from each other :)
Thanks, Jesse :glomp:
Oh no, I feel bad for his family too. And LAUREN, this is NOT your fault, I promise you. Don't feel guilty about this, okay? :glomp:
Firstly, :lmao: at the owl delivery, very clever, my friend. And secondly, tell her not to worry, and to take her time; I understand it's a bit hectic right now. :glomp: :val5:

Emily:woot: You're a superstar!!

I would have read this earlier but me and my mum are sharing laptop chargers cos her's broke and she is a teacher so is always needing MY charger Grrrr

Great post:)

:lol: It's quite all right. Thank you, Katie! :glomp:

Nah, I just meant that she's saying goodbye, but she knows she hasn't really lost him. ^_^
:lol: Just a few more to go ^_^
:lmao: I do that too, so no worries :)
Thank you! I will in a few days

[center]Thanks, Abi! I'll post again either tomorrow or the day after! :val5:

And now for the last post before the Epilogue ^_^

Banner by Me

Emily sat in the front row of the white chairs. George sat beside her, holding her hand. Their loved ones sat around them in the cool air. The breeze was light, but it was enough to cause Emily’s curls to sway behind her. George brought her hand to his lips and kissed them as the Minister spoke. Emily’s tears hadn’t come yet. They were waiting for her. The Minister asked for them to make their good-byes. Many people stood up around Emily, including George, as they went to give their last blessings to Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks-Lupin. They slowly and quietly said goodbye, and then they returned to their seats. Andromeda and Teddy were the last of the group. Emily watched as they took their seats again. It was Emily’s turn and everyone watched as Emily stood.

Emily’s black satin dress hung to her hips and breasts. She stepped forward to Tonks’ casket first. Her white, pearly, unmoving body lay before her. She let out a sob from the back of her throat.

“I guess this is it,” she whispered. “I understand now, Tonks. I understand what you meant. When you told me he’d never leave me, you meant in my heart, he’d never leave me. I should have believed you the first time, but you know how stubborn I can be. He never did break his promise, did he?” she whispered. “He’ll always be with me. And for that, I thank you, for helping me see, understand. You were the mother I never got to know, the best friend I will always remember, and the sister that will stay in my heart for eternity. I love you, Tonks, and I promise to look over Teddy, my brother.” Emily bent down and kissed Tonks’ forehead. She held out her hand as if she were about to be handed something and the flower from the tree zoomed into her hand. “I guess it’s time to pick this. Keep it with you forever.” Emily pulled out her wand and whispered a spell that would keep the flower fresh forever and placed it on Tonks’ stomach. Sighing, she walked over to her Godfather.

“You never left me, just like you promised, Rems,” Emily whispered to his still body. “You are my father, no matter what the birth certificate says. And you will always be with me no matter how far into this earth you are buried,” Emily whispered. She placed her hand on top of his. They were like ice, but she didn’t care. “Stay with me, Rems. Be my angel. Look after me. Guide me along the way. I need you,” she cried softly. “And Tonks was right, just like always. I understand why you wanted us to dance to that song now. You knew, deep down, that we wouldn’t have the chance again. I love you, and I’ll meet you under the moon. But then again, you’re probably already there.”

Emily’s voice, soft with sorrow, swept through the air as she sang their song.

“He called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say I love you one more time.
But when he heard the sound
Of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye.
A little voice came on the phone
Said ‘Daddy when you coming home?’
He said the first thing that came to his mind.”

Emily’s chin quivered, but she kept singing.

“I'm already there.
Take a look around,
I'm the sunshine in your hair,
I'm the shadow on the ground,
I'm the whisper in the wind,
I'm your imaginary friend,
And I know I'm in your prayers.
Oh I'm already there.”

The sun started beating down on the father and daughter, creeping its way from around the tree.

“She got back on the phone,
Said I really miss you darling.
Don't worry about the kids they'll be all right.
Wish I was in your arms,
Lying right there beside you,
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight.
And I'll gently kiss your lips,
Touch you with my fingertips,
So turn out the light and close your eyes.

I'm already there.
Don't make a sound.
I'm the beat in your heart.
I'm the moonlight shining down.
I'm the whisper in the wind.
And I'll be there 'till the end.
Can you feel the love that we share?
Oh I'm already there.”

Emily cried even more as the lyrics whispered to her heart. Her dress turned to a pure white as soon as she sang of the moonlight. She felt the fabric stretch, making its way to the ground. It swayed with the wind and matched her animagus fur. The crowd behind her gasped silently. It bellowed out behind her, but she didn’t flinch. She charmed it to do that.

“We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you wherever you are.”

Emily’s free hand went to her chest, her heart. She no longer felt cold or hollow inside, but it was warm. She was going to get through this.

“I'm already there.
Take a look around.
I'm the sunshine in your hair.”

She felt the heat from the sun hit her hair as she sang.

“I'm the shadow on the ground.”

The shadows on the ground around her turned darker, as if he were right beside her at this very moment.

“I'm the whisper in the wind.”

The wind whisked around her. Her hair flew around her face, a few strands sticking to her tears.

“And I'll be there 'till the end.”

Emily smiled because she knew he really was going to be there until the end.

“Can you feel the love that we share?
Oh I'm already there.
Oh I'm already
There.”

And he was. He was already there. He was waiting for her. He was on the other side, forever with her. Her tears crept down the side of her face. Emily bent down and kissed Remus’ forehead. Her fingers traced his half of their ring, the very ring he left her in his will. She took it off of his finger and placed it with the other half of hers. It was a perfect match. Their ridges matched up perfectly, and she smiled slightly. She stroked their ring. It was a moon, the very moon they played under every month. In the center of the moon were the words “Meet You Under The Moon” sketched in script.

“I love you, and I hope that you and Tonks are together, watching over us all,” she whispered. After one last look at her Godfather, Emily turned around and went to sit back beside George. He immediately took her hand as the Minister said his last remarks, lifted up his arms and wand, closing their caskets, and sent Remus and Tonks below the russet earth where they could live peacefully and quietly, under their tree.

What do you think? :glomp:

Beautiful post Emily...I truly can't say more than that...Except I was wondering if "star light star bright" was the title of the epilogue? I loved this post Emily...it was - heartbreaking yet touching at the same time. You did a great job and I hope u have no regrets on writing this just as I have no regrets on reading it. Can't wait to read more stories from u soon :)

All my Love,
Jesse Matthews <3

Awe, thanks, Jesse :glomp:
Actually that is the name of the sequel... I had to change it again because I realized someone already took the Watching Over You title type thing. Which reminds me, I need to go submit that so it's here for after the Epilogue is out... :whistle:
Awe, you're too sweet, Jesse. Thank you. And I don't think I do have any regrets on this one; I'm quite happy with it, even more so since it's my first attempt at anything. Thank you so much for sticking with it and being one of my many loyal readers. :loved:

Oh, sowwwyyy! I love you though :glomp:

One more post left? Wow, I'm going to miss this story!

Yep... =/ Is it weird that I'm going to sorta miss it too? :val5:

Hello Emily. Very nicely done. There are times when I feel I shouldn't say so much, but what is due, so as not to spoil the moment. So that's all I'm going to say. Well done.
I'll be watching for the Epilogue.:glomp:

Thanks, Connie ^_^

:lol: Thanks, I thought it was nifty ^_^

That post made me cry. My dad's just there asking me 'Why are you crying?' and I'm saying 'You'll never understand.'

:lmao: That happens to me all the time, except that my mom already knows what I'm crying over so she just laughs at me. :lol: I didn't mean to make you cry though. :console:

Loved the dress, and the changing of the dress, and the banner.

Thank you, thank you, thank you :)

Did you do those drawings? I maybe be top of my class at Art, but bloody hell, I'm not that good!

Pshhhtt, no, I did not. I found it on Google and then found a picture of a moon and sorta put the two together and added text (all on Photoshop). I'm not that great of an artist, my dear. ^_^

Only 1 post?!?!?!?!?!?! Oh no, I'm really gonna miss this story. You're a great writer! You could be an author, I'm not kidding!

Awe, well thank you. I have a few things I'm working on now (not Harry Potter related) that I hope to get Published in the future. ^_^
