Today was the most awaited day for many in the hogwarts castle. It was the match for the house cup. The gryffindor common room was filled with excited people talking about quidditch. The hogwarts corridors were coloured red and yellow signifying todays match. The quidditch pitch was filled people roaring of the two certain houses.
Amelia was dragged away by the weasly twins towards the changing room, they two had been chasers since their 2nd year. They were running fast dragging Amelia along with them, who was struggling to keep the pace because of her short legs.
" okay boys now slow down, or i might pass out before the match" Amelia said stopping both the boys, trying to catch her breath.
" You dont speak traitor" george said.
" Hey thats harsh" Amelia exclaimed.
" And what about you-" fred said
" You betrayed us-" george said.
" You are harsher-"
" You were supposed to wear big charts-"
" Reading 'I support fred and george'-"
" The best chasers in the world"
They finsihed each others sentences. Amelia was trying to stiffle her laugh but it came out as a snort. She received a dead glare from the boys. Trying to act mature she composed herself to do her explaining.
" Now listen, enough of your drama, i already told you i was going to support hufflepuff, and you both agreed" Amelia said folding her arms.
" We didnt take you seriously that time" fred said, receiving a scowl from Amelia.
" And why on hell would you defy your own house and support hufflepuff, Traitor" george said in oh so dangerous voice.
" First of all stop calling me that. And second of all that was my choice" Amelia shrugged at the last part not wanting to meet their eyes.
" No there's no choice, pull that yellow color out of our eyes and wear red" george said. Amelia decided to wear yellow eye shadow to support hufflepuff. She recalled the moment how she was offered to support the opponent house and how stupidly she agreed now there was no going back so she just decided to go with the flow.
" No" Amelia said shortly with a playful smirk.
" You wound me shorty" fred exclaimed dramatically with a hand on his chest.
" Thats how i am" Amelia said playing along .
" FRED GEORGE WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE?" came oliver woods voice from the other side. The twins shouted a quick 'coming' and went back to Amelia.
" So now we conclude our efforts to change your mind went in vain" george said dramatically. Amelia just grinned.
"Okay georgie let's take our leave, we are gonna make this lady regret her choice" fred said in the same manner making Amelia roll her eyes. They both started going away but were stopped by Amelia.
" Now what do you want" they both said in unison. Amelia didnt reply she quickly brought the two in her embrace.
" I maybe supporting the opponent house but that doesn't mean i want you to lose" Amelia said sounding like a mother.
" Aww shorty is being a sweety" fred and george mocked, Amelia laughed slightly.
" Now go away, make me proud" Amelia said pushing them towards the pitch laughing. Then she heard someone clearing their throat behind her, she swiftly turned around to see her reason to support the opponent team.
" Why hello there, Cedric Diggory, Hufflepuff Captain and Seeker" Amelia bowed dramatically making him laugh. 'there it is his angelic laugh' Amelia thought to herself.
" You are so dramatic" he said coming near. They both forgot what happened a few days ago as they didnt want to make things awkward.
" That i am" Amelia said again pretending to bow while holding her hypothetical frock. He laughed again.
"I see you have switched to hufflepuff mode" Cedric said.
" Yes, a handsome desparate lad asked me and i couldnt deny" Amelia said sarcastically instantly regretting her one certain word. She looked up to he see he was laughing, he thought she was joking?okay then.
" But i thought you wouldn't show up" cedric said looking down at the tiny girl.
" And why would you think that Mr diggory" Amelia asked folding her arms above her chest.
" Because a few days ago you were injured and also you are gryffindor." Cedric reasoned.
" Well i am a woman of my word" Amelia said raising her chin, making him smile
" Okay then let's head to the match shall we"cedric said gesturing towards the pitch.
" Ok btw dont make me regret my choice" Amelia said nudging her shoulders to his side
" Surely wouldn't madam" cedric said laughing " btw wont you wish me goodluck" cedric joked, he didnt see that Amelia's face was heating up.
" just kidding" he added laughing nervously.
" Wait diggory" Amelia stopped him by pulling him by his shoulders, she neared him and stood on her tip toes giving a sweet peck on the cheek. Meeting his smiling eyes , she smiled too. Both of them started blushing hard .
" Now we wouldnt want you to lose anyway, do we" Amelia said butterflies erupting in her stomach.
" Ofcourse love, you just wait and watch i'll get you the snitch" cedric said winking. Making Amelia flush hard. None of them knew the chosen one was right behind them and saw the whole scene, he didnt knew why did he feel this strange feeling in his stomach by seeing the two interact this way .
The match started evrything was going fine, Amelia was sitting on her gryffindor stands, the only gryffindor to support the opponent team. Draco and his friends refused to sit on the gryffindor stand so she had to sit with unfamiliar people. The match was going on wonderfully, the weasly twins showing off their skills. Then there were the seekers of both the teams flying here and there for the snitch. The commentator Lee jordan totally had the audience's attention with his savage commentry.
" Here the gryffindor beater scores 10 more for the team!!" The crowd roared.
" Now the match is 80-70 with gryffindor leading the game. As always" the commentator said
" Oh the hufflepuff beater scores 10 for the team. It is 80 points each guys"
Suddenly Harry potter turned his way round, meaning he saw the snitch.
" Looks like potter has spotted the snitch, here he goes fast on the broom, the rain is making it harder for them, the hufflepuff seeker flies behind potter. Both of them hot on their tails" both cedric and harry were at their full speed after the snitch. Suddenly they both drifted into the clouds no one could see them.
It was raining hard now still everyone decided to be there.
A few moments later someone falling from the sky could be seen, it was Harry potter, his broom and him falling separately, he fainted. As soon as he was going to hit the ground a loud voice echoed.
" Arresto momentum" all heads turned to look at dumbledore, he managed harry to stop from falling and slowly placing him kn the ground. Meanwhile cedric diggory returned he had the snitch in his hands, but he didnt look happy at all. Everyone rushed to the ground. Harry was unconscious and was supported by his fellow gryffindors to the hospital wing.
" What happened there mr. Diggory" mcgonnacal asked cedric
" There were dementors they were all after potter and he went higher and higher, and then i saw him falling" cedric said nervously.
" Very well, and you have caught the snitch". Mcgonnacal inquired.
" Yes professor" cedric said showing the snitch.
" Jordon go make the announcement of hufflepuff winning" Mcgonnacal said to lee.
" But professor potter fainted, the match was not completed, we can have a rematch when the rain stops". Cedric said jumping in the conversation.
" No mr. Diggory i trust the honesty of hufflepuff, you have won fairly" mcgonnacal said dismissing everyone.
Lee jordon went over to the mic and announced the match won by hufflepuff, very far away it could be seen oliver wood running inside the castle, his tears visible even though it was raining. Oh how badly he wanted to win for his last year of captaincy. Cedric too had a disappointed look he felt as if he didnt win fairly. On seeing his face a drenched Amelia approached him nudging him by shoulder.
" Whats with the sad face" She asked.
" They are saying no for a rematch" cedric said looking forward slightly sad.
" And why would you want a rematch" Amelia asked
" It wasnt fair to gryffindor, potter fainted halfway" he said.
" But you won fairly" Amelia reasoned offering him a smile
" But-" cedric started but was cut off by amelia.
" No buts mr. Diggory you won the match and i want a party" Amelia said trying to lighten the moment.
" You are happy that your house lost" cedric said chuckling.
" I am happy that you won". She said looking in his eyes, realising what she said, she widened her eyes " I am mean i am happy i supported the winning house" she quickly explained
" Okay then, here" cedric said bringing her hand in his hand and placing the snitch.
" Cedric wha-" amelia was cut off by cedric.
" I promised you i will get you the snitch, i am also the man of my word" he said smiling and winking. Amelia smilingly opened her palm to see the snitch opening its wing and flattering them like a bird. This made cedric smile more.
" I will keep this with me forever"

Amelia was on her way to her dorms after having dinner she had to go to professor mcgonnacal to submit her pending homework. the corridors were quite desolated, but the lights were not out. She had to submit her potions homework too but didnt want to face her uncle. Both of them have been ignoring each other Amelia's burst out in his office that day. She didnt have a choice, submitting tha homework was necessary, so reluctantly she decided to head towards dungeons. On reaching there she didnt feel like knocking again, as it was traditon to barge in without knocking in her uncle's office but as a formality she knocked.
" Come in" came the monotone voice. She went inside keeping a straight face.
" Developed some manner, have we" snape mocked, she resisted the urge to roll her eyes and keep an emotionless face. She shoved the homework on his desk without uttering a word.
" Hmm" he hummed looking the homework quite impressed with her punctuality. Then another knock was heard on the door.
" Come in" he said again, the slytherin prefect came in.
" What" snape asked.
" Sir there's a fight in the slytherin common room, your presence is needed" the boy said worriedly. Snape got up and left without saying anything to Amelia.
" Should i leave or not" she asked to herself. Deciding on the latter she plopped herself on the chair front of the desk. Her mind roaming about her new family member, she wanted to meet him again, atleast she has got one parent. The other she would never have a chance fo meet or see. Wait she had a chance to see her again. Her picture. Its in snape's office here. She quickly jumped out the chair and went towards the book shelves. Shuffling through some books she found the picture of her mother and her friend. 'she was so beautiful' she thought to herself. Even though she has never met her but she missed her dearly.
" Should i keep them" she asked to herself. 'ofcourse, its my right' she confirmed to herself and shoved the two pictures in her pocket.
Suddenly the door wide opened, snape came in gave her an questioning look. She just shrugged not meeting his eyes making him realise she was till mad at him.
" Your homework is acceptable keeping in mind about your recent accident" he muttered not giving her the satisfaction of complementing. She mentally rolled her eyes and thought ' jealous grumpy old man, cant even say 2 nice words to his own talented niece'.
" Kin relations should not be brought in professional work" snape said rummaging through his desk drawer with a smirk on his face.
' did he just legimens me' she exclaimed in her mind. Snapes smirk widened. She made a scowl.
" It is rude to intervene in someones mind without permission" Amelia muttered in a monotone.
" And it is rude to steal something without permission" he said.
' oh god he saw my memory' Amelia thought to herself.
" Yes, and now i would very much appreciate it if you place it back what you have stolen" snape said clasping his hand together.
" No" Amelia said with a straight face.
" I beg your pardon" Snape said.
" I said no, i am not keeping them back" Amelia said in a steady voice.
" Oh i see now you have the stomach to talk back, as your father has now returned" snape said standing up.
" I always had the guts and dont bring him in all this, its my mothers picture and i am going to keep without hesitation because i dont find the need to ask your permission for such a thing" Amelia said.
" The other one is not your mother" snape hissed.
" Is she yours" Amelia mocked.
" You insolent child" snape hissed again.
" Now now professor snape, even though you dont have a justification for who is it, you must not use foul language on a student, right?" Amelia said.
" I said return the picture" snape snarled, moving towards Amelia.
" Make me " Amelia said quickly running out of the door and shutting it right before his face.
She ran to her dorms real quick. Opening the door she found her three roomates sound asleep, she tip toed to her bed and placed the picture in her diary, one was for sure her was her mother, but who was this redhead and why did snape had her picture. She closed her diary and put a lock spell on in, in no world she was going to lose her mother's only picture. Then she remeber something, she took out the golden snitch from her pocket, cedric gifted het today. It was so sweet, she couldnt help but smile all the time while thinking about it.
' oh what are you doing to me hufflepuff' she thought to herself and drifted to sleep.
