AMELIA AND THE GOLDEN TRIO LEFT THE BOATHOUSE AFTER SPARING LAST GLANCE TO LATE SEVERUS SNAPE.

Amelia weakly dragging her heavy feet, her eyes tired and wanting to shut. Hermione gently supporting her much to her dismay but she did even not have the energy to shrug her off. Suddenly they were all greeted by the snake like cold voice of Voldermort. He was talking to the whole school and demanding Harry Potter in an hour.

All of them made their way back to the great hall, many people gasped in way, reaching in the great hall they were again met with the sight of people crying in despair and agony. Amelia weakly glanced again at the dead bodies of Fred, Tonk, Mike andโ€“ then her eyes searched for Estella and then she sighed in relief on spotting her, sitting with George, who had his palm gently pressed to her bandaged wound.

Her heart wrenched at the sight of her godfather, suddenly she didnt know why, the memory of her, Remus and Severus together flashed in her mind and she scrunched her eyes shut tightly.

"Amelia.." Harry whispered gaining her attention.

"Snape's memoriesโ€“ headmaster's office" Harry whispered, she gave him a small nod and let him inform Ron and Hermione that they were going to the headmaster's office. Both made their way quitely, Harry muttered the password and both stepped in, Amelia didnt utter a word, because she was now too tired and defeated to do anything.

She lost everything.

Harry poured Sev's tears in the stone pensieve and gestured Amelia to join him in it. As much as it ached knowing she was going to see her uncle's memory who recently left and was never coming back, but she also craved to see more and more of him.

Inhaling sharply both her and Harry dived in thier heads letting the scenes form. The first scene started forming which looked like a meadow, two children playing with each other.

"Sierra!โ€“ you are not going to tell Lily that!" A black haired boy yelled running after a black haired laughing girl.

Sierra and Severus Snape. Amelia smiled painfully, having no more tears to shed.

"No Sevโ€“ I will tell Lily you are in love with her!" Little Sierra yelled.

Amelia let out a teary chuckle while Harry made a face of grimace.

The scene dissolved again, it was the same meadow except now Sev was sitting with a redhead and was timely glaring at a blackhead with a camera hidden in bushes.

The scene changed again and again showing the sorting ceremony, Lily being sorted in gryffindor and a hurt Sev in slytherin. James and Sirius bullying and calling names to Lily and Sev. Sierra Snape coming forward to yell at the two gryffindors, the curly black haired one, Sirius starting to notice her amused.

Amelia now realised why Sev hated Harry and her fathers with passion, because they deserved to be hated.

Then the scene changed again, it was Hogwarts ground, the four marauders making fun of Sev again, specifically James and Sirius, and Suddenly Sev called Lily Evans a mudblood. Lily broke her friendship with him and yelled at him.

The next scene, startled everyone, Sierra Snape went forward and slapped Sirius Black really hard across the face and yelled.

"That was for putting my brother's life in danger, I hope Remus never forgives you for thisโ€“ you used him and his condition to get back at Sevโ€“ I absolutely loathe you!"

Sirius was left standing there hurt while Severus Snape smirked bitterly hidden behind a pillar.

The scene changed again and now Harry and Amelia found themselves standing in a little gloomy and dark house. Amelia recognised it immediately.. it was Spinner's end. Sierra and Sev yelling at each other both looked badly beaten up while an older lady crying in the corner of the room and an equally old and cold looking man storming off from there.

"You made Reggie join the dark side!โ€“ He died because of you! "

"And you are in a relationship with that wretched boyโ€“ Black!"

"I am leaving Sev, I am going to Sirius, he will understand me unlike you" 

The scene faded again. Now Sev was talking to Dumbledore confronting, pleading, crying, begging doing everything possible to save Lily Evans from the dark lord. He clearly showed that he does not care about James and their child just Lily.

The scene changed again, Sev opening the door of his house, and froze seeing his sister on the doorstep with a bright smile. "Why have you come here!โ€“ "

"I am getting married Sev!" Sierra smiled brightly leading herself in her old house. While Sev froze with his blood boiling glaring at her.

"I dont care what you do with that wretched man!"

"Will you walk me down the aisle?"

Sierra asked softly, hoping maybe her brother's cold heart will melt down. She started talking about their childhood and every sweet memory but Sev stood their unfazed while Sierra was on the verge of crying from all the pleading, in the end she left the house, and now Sev slumped down the chaur weakly and sighed scrunching his eyes shut.

The scene changed again, and now Sev was yelling and bellowing to Dumbledore.

"You promised you'd save her, both of them, Lily and Sierra butโ€”"

Sev was interrupted by Dumbledore suddenly going out and coming back in with a child in his arms.

"This is your niece, Amelia Black"

Sev froze and stared at the child in pure horror.

"S-She is Sierra's?โ€“"

"Yes, Sierra, your sister's last wish was that you shall take care of her daughterโ€“ even while taking her last breath she had her full faith in youโ€“ that you will take the best care of this child"

Dumbledore left handing the wailing baby girl to Severus Snape, who too left the house by placing the wailing child in the crib, alone in the house.

The scene changed again an adult and a little girl of five or six years olds trying very hard to hold lots of books.

"Is there a potion that can make me fly?" The little girl asked.

"No, you shall concentrate on naming all these ingredients first" Sev said coldly.

"But Moony said I can fly, I am a witch, can you not fly Sev?โ€“ are you sad because of itโ€“"

"Amelia" Sev said sternly sushing her, the little girl scrunched her face on him and went away but after a short while came again standing in front of him, he sighed and turned to her.

"What now?"

"Where are my parents?" The girl asked sharply, causing him to stare at her slightly wide eyed but he soon covered his reaction with a cold glare.

"What did I tell you last timeโ€“"

"No Sev!โ€“ I did not come out of nowhereโ€“ everyone has parents, Moony had, You had!โ€“ where are mine?"

"Keep quite Amelia! And now go to your room Right Now!" Sev yelled making the little girl flinch badly, she clenched her jaw with furious tears brimming in her eyes and ran to her room which she had decorated with the help of her godfather, because her uncle simply couldnt do these stuffs.

"You yelled at her againโ€“ she is just a six year old girl Severus, she will ask numerous questionsโ€“"

"I know very well Lupin, you must do what I called you for, go and talk to her and feed her she hasnt eaten since morning"

"Why cant you do it yourselfโ€“ I know you care for her equally then why cant you just go and apologise and talk to herโ€“"

"I. Can. Not."

The scene kept changing again and again, and Amelia hated to see all her memory flashbacks of the time she spent with her uncle, or simply fought with him. Sev and Dumbledore talking about Sev should kill Him, and Harry being a pig of slaughter etc etc.

Both Amelia and Harry dived out of the water gasping loudly for air. Amelia wiped her face feeling too tired to feel anything now. Harry meanwhile stayed in a dilemma that he is the last horcrux and has to die, she couldnt care less. She remembered Sev talking about he had left something for her. She went forward to the desk and open the drawer but it asked for a password.

She frowned, now from where to bring a freaking password. She tiredly pointed her wand at the drawer, muttering different names which she might have been important to Sev.

Lily. No. Sev's birthday date. No. Deatheater related shit. No.

She groaned desperately, and scrunched her eyes shut not knowing what the password might be. Harry, who noticed her struggle dared to speak up. "Try your or your mother's name.."

She barely looked up at him and again weakly muttered "Amelia Sierra"

Her eyes widened when the drawer actually opened up, ignoring a little wrenching in her heart she picked up the envelope which was placed in it.

And tore it revealing a letter and a photograph. A chuckled escaped her mouth on seeing the photograph, it was from her third year christmas when she demanded a lot of things as a gift from Sev, and he actually got her, at that time she fell from stairs and broke her ankle, so a sling was attached to it, and she kept her leg weirdly on table, and her newly gifted owl sat on her head while she begged Sev to click her a picture.

A smile crept on her face, he kept her picture..

She opened the letter but was interrupted by Harry.

"Amelia I dont think you should read it right now, read it after the war's over, we cant wait that long here, I-I have to go to Voldermortโ€“ what if someone comes hereโ€“"

"Geminio" She interrupted him by making another copy of the letter in case of she loses it, and placed the copy letter back in the envelope muttering a spell to it making it look like it was never opened along with the picture, and shut the drawer.

She turned to Harry with an unreadable look and staring in his panicking eyes "I dont care where you go, live or die, I will not try to save another oneโ€“"

Harry interrupted her by bringing her in a tight hug much to her astonishment, she didnt hug back.

"Even I dont know if I'll come alive or not, and if I dont, I just want to thankyou for what you did for meโ€“"

"I never did anything for you at allโ€“"

"You brought ny parents back and I never got a chance to properly thankyouโ€“ so thankyou Amelia for bringing happiness back to my life, but I dont know If after today I'll be able to enjoy it or not" He said softly pulling away with a slight hurt lacing his voice, while Amelia stared at him blankly.

"I always treated you wrongโ€“ I am realising it now, so please forgive me if you can, You are an amazing person Amelia, and I am sorry" He finished not hoping for a reply, just letting his feelings out. Amelia nodded at him slowly and turned away.

"I wish you luck Potter" He held a small smile and both came out of the office.

Both of them parted their ways going in different directions. Not turning back, not hoping anything, just going with the flow.

Amelia reached the great hall with her weak knees buckling fearing for the sight she will be seeing. She didnt know while she was gone, how many more people left her. Before stepping in she inhaled sharply and barged in steadily, not letting people know how weak her heart felt at the moment.

A little contempt feeling stricking her as she saw the people standing alive and fine when she saw last leaving the hall, but all of them appeared rushed and worried. Amelia found Remus' eyes and slowly made her way towards him with a weak smile.

"Amelia where were you?" He asked in a whisper, she ignored wrapping her arms around him.

"He is gone Remus, Sev is gone" She croaked deadly calm. Remus' heart dropped, he knew what might be feeling right now. Broken, hurt, devastated, defeated..

But only if he knew that, she felt no more.

As the time passed, all of them are alerted again that Voldermort with his crowd of deatheaters is making his way towards the castle. All of them rush outside to see he has already entered. But caused a deep shock to everyone was that Hagrid was holding the unmoving body of Harry Potter.

"Harry Potter is dead!" The snake like man announced proudly.

"No!โ€“ no!โ€“ Harry!" Ginny yelled crying lunging forward but was caught by Arthur Weasley.

Soon everyone's attention was gained by one more redhead crying loudly in fury along with the raven haired man "No!โ€“ Harry!โ€“ it cant be true!"

Voldermort's red eyes almost bulged out on seeing the two people he himself killed years ago, now standing in front of him totally alive. He appeared freaked out for a moment along with many others.

"Shut up you mudblood!โ€“ Harry Potter is dead and you must now put your faith in me!" Voldermort sneered.

Lily was crying mercilessly, along with many others who now felt defeated. There was no hope now. But Amelia stood weakly and blankly beside her godfather, nothing made a difference to her now.

She didnt care about living anymore, she already felt dead.

But now everything happened so fast from Voldermort offering everyone to join him and save their lives, Neville coming forward and telling they will not surrender and Harry didnt die in vain. Suddenly Harry fell out of Hagrid's arms and the real war began.

Deatheaters now flew over the whole castle and Voldermort and Harry engaged themselves dueling together immediately disappearing, while the rest of the people dueled with the deatheaters.

Everything happened quick, Molly killing Bellatrix saving Ginny, Neville killing Nagini, Amelia dueled with several deatheaters mercilessly, the rage of losing everyone was coming out of her through curses.

Soon Voldermort was killed by Harry Potter and the war came to an end.

Amelia stood watching people now sitting with their families happily and contempt, some laughing and crying happy and sad tears both. Her eyes fell on Remus hugging his daughter, now everyone also knew that Lyra was alive and will be brought back.

Lily Potter hugging her son crying happy tears, James and Sirius laughing while hugging each other, the weasley family sat together, Lory being a redhead too wasnt recognisable sitting with them.

And then Amelia stood alone. No one by her side.

Everyone had got their families by their sides, their loved ones but she was left alone, like always, she didnt know how and why did she always find herself alone even being surrounded by hundreds of people.

Was she meant to be alone always?

She didnt know the answer to that question, all she right now knew was that she had one pending thing with her, Sev's letter to read. Sighing with a contempt look she strolled out of the cheery hall dragging her feet far away to the place where she will only hear silence.

Walking through the dirty corridor her eyes fell on several dead bodies, one of them being an overly strange figure, small and skinny and totally different. Trinky..

Okay, one more.

She shook her head weakly, no more tears left to shed and led herself to a little clearer place with no one around and peaceful. She sat supported by the  wall in the end of the corridor where the headmaster's office could be seen in the other end.

Sighing she brought out the crumpled parchement from her pocket and started reading it with a blank mind.

Amelia,

You are missed.

You must feel that such words couldnt be used by me, I think so too. Informing you from the beginning, that I dont have any expertise in writing heartfelt notes and letters and you are known to it. But I am going to try.

I am sorry for everything. By everything you know I mean each and everything that hurt you.

I had to send you away, because all my life I have been forced to do the things I hate to do the most. Sending you away was one of them.

I might not sound like myself but I want you to know that you are the only thing I did everything to protect to, not Lily, not Sierra, only you: My niece. The day you were brought to me was surely the worst day of my life because I lost Lily and Your mother, my sister, but I didnt realise when it became the best day because of your arrival in my life. You, at that time barely an year old, a little wailing child dressed in bright colorful clothes, gave me hope to live more, and I did that for you.

I had been showing my displeasure and disappointment at you as long as you can remember, because you were everything like your mother and father, You were everything I should have hated, everything, but I couldnt, because I love you.

I never told you that or anyone else, not even to myself, but now I feel the need for you to know this, I dont know if I will ever be able to see you again or not, so I keep this funny picture of you always close to me, always.

I will consider myself lucky, If you come back for one last time and call me Sev again, I wont be annoyed or mad at you, I want to welcome you with open arms and see my niece for one last time.

You are reading this letter because I have gone for sure, or I would have myself burned it. So after reading it you burn it too, dont keep anything related to me with you, you have your whole life ahead, live it with joy and not remembering me.

I know you are strong enough to not need anyone's support, just like your mother, and I know you will make me proud, like you have done always. You have never failed to make me proud Amelia, I was the one who failed everytime to give you what you deserved.

You have faced everything in your life at such an early age that I feared for you but I have been amazed how you grew out of it. You are the strongest Amelia, dont let anyone tell you otherwise ever, not even yourself.  

I wish the best for you always and forever, and I am sorry once again, i am fine with it even if you dont forgive me, because even after your forgiveness my guilt won't lessen.

I love you,
Yours Sev.


A sob left her quivering mouth as she finished reading the letter with her trembling hands. She promised to herself to not cry anymore, but still the tears came out and now they won't stop. "Sev.. p-please come back"

She didnt know how long she cried desperately clutching to the parchment soaking it with her tears. She wanted him back, all of them, her whole family, everyone. But they were not coming back ever and she was left alone.

In one part of the castle everyone was celebrating a happy ending and in other part she was breaking and shattering into pieces alone.

After what felt like hours, her eyes dried out left with stinging pain, she crumpled the letter back thrusting it in her pocket. You are the strongest Amelia, dont let anyone tell you otherwise ever, not even yourself.

She stood up weakly buckling her knees up, that was more than enough for today, she was not going to cry anymore now. Those who cared for her were now at peace, now she was left the job of taking care of herself, to her. She had to take care of her on her own.

Inhaling sharply, drying her damp cheeks, she shook her head clearing her mind. She swallowed a heavy lump in her throat and started moving forward, but a loud sound of someone's footsteps caused her
