"I WILL COME WITH YOU"

   "Where?– where are you going?" Sirius Black asked coming in the great hall, and his eyes fell on his daughter and godson. Harry glanced at Amelia and saw her shake her head lightly indicating him to not tell anyone.

    "Neville and Luna need our help– thats why we are going– Come Ron and Hermione" Harry said hastily not meeting his godfather's eyes. James and Lily stepped in too, Lily approached a wailing Molly comforting her, while James approached Remus, who recently lost his wife but still was trying to stay strong.

    "Okay– tell us if you need any help– take care of each other" Sirius said warily. Remus stepped towards them "W-Where's Estella?"

    Everyone froze, it was a while ago when they last saw Estella and now she was not to be seen anywhere. Amelia's stomach dropped even more "No– no no no– Not her!– not her!– find her everyone– find her!"

    Everyone rushed around to find Remus' daughter, Amelia hastily looked around in every corner to find Estella's familiar figure. Her throat was extremely dry and with herself trembling with the thought of losing another person her head was spinning wildly.

    "Estella!– where are you!"Amelia cried out desperately. Suddenly her eyes fell a little far away where she could see Remus approaching supporting his daughter up, she huffed in relief but her eyes instantly widened when they fell on Estella's stomach, blood running down, all her clothes covered in blood.

    "Estella what happened!?" Amelia exclaimed wide eyed running towards her. Estella looked like she will faint.

    "Some deatheater stabbed her, we have to take her to Madam Pomphrey quick, she has lost a lot of blood" Remus said urgently. Estella looked really on the verge of passing out.

    Soon Amelia and Remus managed to take Estella inside the great hall, telling Madam Pomphrey to operate her first. Madam Pomphrey started fussing worriedly folding her shirt up and revealing a large cut going deep inside.

    "You must keep your eyes open, I will try my best to heal it, although it seems impossible– but no I will try" Madam Pomphrey ramble tensed.

   Amelia's heart was pounding wildly, she will never forget today's date, no one will, many people were losing their families, and she could not lose more, Estella let out painful shrieks and cries as the nurse started healing her.

    "Listen– Amelia.. I dont know If I'll live or not– if I dont– bring Mom back here, get her memories back, and tell her I love her and always will" Estella said panting really badly and tears streaming down her face in pain, while everyone around her turned pale while.

    "Y-Your mum?" Sirius asked stepping in front. James, Lily, Remus all stared at her widely.

    "Mom is in America she is alive– just doesnt remembers anything, brink her back and– and" Estella's lips started trembling wildly as she could say anything further but inhaled deeply speaking up again "And I'd like if you arrange Mike and my grave together"

     "Shut you stupid mouth Este– or I am going to slap you very bad" Amelia cried furiously, eyes welling up. Everyone around her couldnt even process as everything was happening so fast. Estella was stabbed and was not healing completely and now suddenly getting to know that Lyra was alive, in America.

   Suddenly Amelia's heart dropped as she remembered she was going to go to the boathouse where Sev was with Voldermort, Harry and his friends could not be seen anywhere. Her nerves threatened to burst because of the stress, everything was falling apart. One side Estella was on the verge of dying and on the other side Sev was in danger. She did not know where to go what to do.

     "Este– I love you, and I am grateful I got a chance to meet you, I am sorry but I have to go– I am really sorry" Amelia sobbed clutching to Estella's weak hand, Estella gave a stiff nod with a small smile and Amelia got up wiping her tears, she had to go.

    Without looking back behind Amelia ran straight out of the great hall escaping and firing curses to whoever stepped in between. Today had no surity and she would not lose the chance of meeting Sev one last time, although her heart ached to think so, but she couldnt help it.

    She ran as fast as she could to the boathouse, which was an underground harbour in Hogwarts. Her loud thumping heart felt like surely it will fail today, she reached the harbour, and without making any noise or being seen she slipped in from the door which was slightly open.

     In an instant she felt a hand cover her mouth and pull her behind harshly, she was going to let out muffled scream, but her eyes fell on Ron and Hermione who was gesturing her to stay quite. She turned a bit wide eyed to see Harry was holding her.

    "My lord—" Sev's voice reached her ears which was instantly cut off by a sharp stricking sound and instantly a body falling to the mirrored wall with a thud.

    Her eyes almost popped out, it was Sev who fell, Harry clamped his hand even more tightly over her mouth making sure no sound comes out while she desperately tried to fight his grip, kicking, punching and doing everything possible. Not Sev– Sev!—.

    "Nagini– kill"

    Hot tears welled up in her eyes, she could not even meet him for the last time, the last she saw him was two whole years ago when he came to drop her to America, and at that time too they were not on good terms.

    Loud sounds of hissing and attacking could be heard, the mirrored wall shakily mercilessly as the snake kept digging its fangs in him. While Amelia fought endlessly against Harry's grip who didnt let her go, she fell to her knees, Harry falling with her, even the least sound of her cry could not escape.

    Hermione's eyes started brimming seeing the condition of the girl in front of her struggling to come out of the boys grip and run to her uncle. Suddenly everything became eerily silent, Harry's grip loosened on her.

    No sound in the whole place caused shivers to run down their spines, the hissing of the snake ended too and everything felt cold and empty, buckling her shaky legs up Amelia stood up wide eyed, all her arms and legs trembling wildly. She ran to the door opening it, and her stomach dropped seeing the sight in front of her.

    Sev laid there supported by wall, covered in his own blood, his eyes barely open, but they fluttered open at the sound of someone stepping in, his eyes weakly darted to see his niece standing there. A weak contempt smile formed on his face, happy to getting to see his niece for the last time.

   "Amelia.. " Sev called in a cracking voice with his weak smile, a painful sound escaped on Amelia's throat rushing towards him, collapsing in front of him.

    "S-Sev– y-you'll be alright come we are taking you–" Amelia said trembling badly but Sev interrupted holding her shaking hand with his cold one.

    "Thankyou for coming Amelia–" He croaked with a smile, tears started to stream down his face seeing her after so long.

    "You waited for me?– after all this time?" Amelia asked as she couldnt help but let out a teary chuckle. His lips twitched upwards slightly.

"I waited for you, always—"

     She gasped as he coughed blood out, and slowly placed a hand under his neck. "Sev this is not a time to talk, firstly we are taking you and get you operated–"

    "Dont interrupt now, I dont think I have much time– whatever time I have, I want to say something to you, both of you" Sev whispered glancing between her and Harry, who sat on the other side of him.

     "Amelia, you are the only thing I lived this far to protect but now you have your whole family, and I know they will take better care of you–" Sev weakly whispered but was interrupted by himself coughing out more blood but continued nevertheless "I-I hope you forgive me– for not giving you the love you deserved, for always being cold towards you–"

    "Sev I dont care– stop speaking like that– you are going to be fine– then I will listen to anything you say– you know I cant live without getting scolded by you" Amelia sobbed clutching to his hand, while he let out a small chuckle.

    "I am sorry for that too, I hope Sierra forgives me for it, I am sorry– Potter– take them, take them–" Sev said darting his teary eyes to Harry gesturing him to his tears.

    "Give me something!– a flask or anything!" Harry said urgently to his friends in background, while Amelia sobbed pleading him to get up and come with them. Hermione handed Harry a small glass vial which he placed against Sev's cheek, letting his tear drops fill it.

    "Sev please, leave this, we will help you up , come with us, you'll be fine" Amelia cried desperately but he wont listen to her.

    "I didnt know you were going to come back, so I left something in the headmaster's office for you, in my drawer–" Sev said weakly his voice getting raspier and his mouth filled with his own blood, Amelia shook her head crying not listening to him.

    "Amelia.. listen to me Amelia.. stop crying– You have made me proud" Sev whispered raising his hand a bit placing it under her chin making her look up and meet his eyes. She cried even harder on listening to this, he never said he was proud of her, all her life she tried to make him proud of her and now finally he was saying it.

    "No.. no Sev– I am not going to lose you.. never– please– dont say anything" She pleaded crying. Sev slightly turned to Harry "These are for both of you, use the pensieve in my office"

    "Shut up Sev– stop being dramatic– get up– Harry pull him up, help me!– he wont stop talking and will waste the whole time– we are taking you to Madam Pomphrey Sev– She will fix you– get up–"

    "AMELIA HE IS GONE!"

    Harry yelled loudly shaking her bringing her out of her trance as she kept rambling to her uncle, who suddenly stopped breathing and moving. Her bloodshot stinging eyes fell on his pale face, his eyes, which now stared in air. Her knees gave up, now she was tired of it.

    "Sev.." She breathed out her mouth parted in disbelief, one more member of her family left her.

    "NO!– SEV GET UP!" She shrieked now furious tears falling from her eyes. Hermione rushed towards her wrapping her arms around her while sobbing. "Amelia lets go, he is gone–"

    "Get lost all of you!– get lost– I dont need your help– I will bring him back!" Amelia yelled yanking the girl away. She hastily crouched down beside him bringing her necklace out holding it in her hand.

   "Amelia w-what are you doing?" Hermione asked frowning. Amelia ignored her and suddenly started muttering something taking out a ragged page from her pocket.

   The page belonged to the book of her mother, The Halfblood Princess, it said something about to heal any wound in world, and when one night she was reading it alone, found it useful and remembered to take it on the day of war. But a hurt feeling stricked her heart because she completely forgot about using it in Estella's turn.

    She held the emerald necklace in one hand as it might have been depicted in the page, and kept chanting it again and again, she reached out to hold Sev's cold hand keeping the page back in her pocket.
   
   She kept chanting it again and again, holding his cold lifeless hand desperately, she shut her eyes as she felt a jolt of pain strike her head but did not stop muttering it while the three stared at her skeptically from behind.

    Hermione gasped loudly staring at the girl and shrieked "Amelia stop!– you're bleeding!" But again Amelia ignored her, continuing with her task, although she suddenly felt her whole body burning and something fluid running down her nose.

    She suddenly let out a scream in pain, every bone started aching immensely. Hermione stepped forward and pulled her away from Sev behind. Amelia opened her eyes to see Sev still laid there unmoving and lifeless.

    He was gone. She lost one more family member. But he was not just a family member, he was the father she never had after her real mother and father left her. He took care of her ever since she was brought on his doorstep. Remus Lupin was her godfather but Sev became her actual father.

    Sev was the one who took care of all her necessities without letting her know, he lacked showing any emotion or care but the way he was always present for her never made her feel insecure. Their relationship was one of the most unique ones, both cared for each other but couldnt show it, all they used to do was argue, taunt or mock each other.

   As much as it was important for Amelia to get pampered by Remus, it was equally important for her to get scolded by her uncle, their bittersweet relation was something Remus admired everytime. But now it all ended, he was gone and not coming back.

   "Sev.. please.." Amelia whispered her eyes now totally dried out and stung from all the crying in just one day. Now she felt completely helpless, hopeless and defeated. She could not even have a proper goodbye with him.

   First her mother left her, then Cedric, Tonks, Fred, Mike and now him, she wasnt even sure if Estella was alive. Madam Pomphrey said if was almost impossible to heal the stab. Everything was falling apart, everything.

   "Amelia we have to leave" Harry said weakly, she ignored her eyes trained on her unmoving uncle, every bit of her gaze screaming for him to wake up and scold her again, talk to her, annoy her but he laid there as solent as ever.

   Hermione held her hand gently pulling her with them, Amelia took small and heavy steps, not wanting to leave, but they had to, a war was going on and it was not finished. Suddenly her breath hitched as she felt a small electric bolt strike her chest where the necklace touched her skin, she gasped clutching to it and widened her eyes as she saw it started glowing.
