The next whole day Amelia had been grumpy and didnt see any of Sev. When she woke up in the morning she found herself all alone in the chambers. Amelia wasnt fazed by his absence at all, afterall he upset her. Upon going down in his office she saw the broken glass pieces were still there after the fight last night.

She decided to go to the great hall foe breakfast as usual it was empty just a few rough seventh year boys who were not invited by their family on christmas. Amelia ate in silence, she always wondered where the hell the chosen one went daily. He would daily disappear or appear out of no where. After having the breakfast she went to her dorm to sneak some other book from hermione's shelf, she bookworm had a whole collection of them. Reaching in her dorm she saw there was an unfamiliar owl sitting outside the window. Opening the window she led the owl in taking the small piece of parchment on its toe off.

Dear cousin,

As you know its your birthday tomorrow, so my mother, your aunt, has invited you home, shw wants you to know her other part of the family. Tell me will you come? I personally insist you shall come, father will not be home so it will be really fun to have you. Reply as soon as this letter reaches you.

Your handsome cousin.
D.M.

Amelia chuckled on the ending and was also overwhelmed, Draco's mom invited her home, from what Draco told Amelia she knew the woman was really nice and caring. Amelia wanted to meet her but again Sev...That man has a really wrong timing of getting angry at her. Last time he was grumpy before the trip, making it difficult for her to gain permission. Lets see what happenes now.

Sighing she started rummaging through Hermione's book shelf, the girl had a lot of books and no wonder she didnt took them with her, or her muggle house would be called a book store. She found a book labelled Macbeth. She took it.

Descending the stairs of the girls dormantry she saw the chosen one sitting on the couch reading a letter, ofcourse he has friends who write to him, unlike mine, Amelia thought to herself thinking about her beauxbatons friends. He qas so busy in reading the letter that he didnt even realise Amelia came and stood behind him.

" Booo" Amelia yelled in his ear making him shriek and jump from the couch, he turned around to glare at her while she snickered.

" What are you 5, playing such games" He said folding his arms.

" What are you 2, getting scared like that" Amelia said smirking, Harry shook his head he knew he cant ever win against her, neither he wanted to.

"Btw whose love letter is that?" Amelia said raising an eyebrow mockingly, Harry rolled his eyes.

"Its my godfather" he said sitting back on the couch, for a second Amelia was perplexed who was he talking about.

"My father"  Amelia said glaring a little at him, she sat down beside him.

" Same difference" he said nonchalantly. Amelia saw the letter was big, and instantly became sad, instead of writing a letter to her he was writing to the chosen one, not even his own daughter, this pissed Amelia.

" What did he write?" Amelia asked a but off mood now.

" Just that he is flying north and stuffs" Harry replied still staring at the letter.

"Why didnt he sent me a letter too?" Amelia asked more to herself, Harry stayed silent.

" He must remember its my birthday tomorrow, then why nothing to me, and now he left" Amelia said in a low tone.

"Its your birthday tomorrow?" Harry asked with a bit raised voice. Amelia merely nodded not looking at him.

"What are your plans for tomorrow then?" He asked more excited than Amelia

" I dont have any plans Harold, Draco invited me to his house but i know Sev wont allow, i havent even asked him yet" Amelia said.

" Why Draco?" Harry asked as if offended.

" He's my cousin, his mum is my father's cousin" Amelia said narrowing her eyes at him. Harry hummed in response.

"Lets what happenes tomorrow what are your plans right now?" Amelia asked trying not to sound hopeful on the last part.

" I have to meet dumbledore, we have some 'Sirius' matter to discuss" Harry said cheekily causing a small smile to form on Amelia' face.

" And what would that be, and why am i not involved?" Amelia asked.

"I dont know, Sirius told me to talk to dumbledore and he said that its better if lesser people are associated with it" Harry said, Amelia frowned at this, her own father doesnt wants her to be involved in his matter.

"Fine do your work, if you are free then come to quidditch pitch at 2, we'll have a match" Amelia said standing up leaving, not waiting for him to answer.

She was on her way to her uncles office, where else she has to go to. Without knocking as usual she barged in to find him sitting on his desk doing papers. He acknowledged her presence by letting out a small sigh, not looking up.

"Sev" Amelia began, after all she has to start the conversation he was never going to. Sev hummed in response.

" There's somthing i want to ask" She said quietly. He looked up to give her glance of continuing.

"First keep these papers aside" Amelia said bit desperate. Sev sighed from tiredness looking up at her clasping his hands under the chin.

" Draco sent me a letter asking if i would like to join his house on my birthday, tomorrow, its just a matter of few hours-" Amelia pleaded but was cut off by him.

" You can go, Lucius will not be there" he said dismissively going back to his papers. Amelia gawked at him, this easy, she never thought he would agree this easily. She stood there staring at him.

" You know it annoys me" Sev said not looking up gesturing to Amelia's stare.

" Everything annoys you" Amelia said smirking, getting a glare in response, she instantly raised her hands in surrender.

" But really you agreed this easily, why , whats the matter, do you want to get rid of me huh?" Amelia asked playfully wiggling her eyebrows.

" Yes" he blurted, Amelia stopped to stare at him in disbelief.

" What" She asked not believing what he said. Sev internally regretted why would he say such a thing.

" Go before i change my mind" He said acting normal, amelia stood there a few seconds before leaving. He must be joking, grumpy man. She thought to herself dismissing the odd thoughts arising in her mind.

"Wait how does he know that Mr. Malfoy will not be there?" Amelia questioned to herself ascending the stairs, she stopped to go back and question him, but he was already gone. She stood there in confusion. What the hell is happening?

The rest of the time Amelia spent with herself, Sev didnt come back. Harry was busy with dumbledore so he too didnt come to the quidditch field. Amelia decided to take a round around the school corridors after having lunch with Trinky. In the evening she stayed in the dungeons in her quaters, thinking about Remus, it was dull moon tomorrow on her birthday, he must be dealing with himself.

This was the only reason Amelia didn't liked to be alone, because whenever she would be alone, she would rhink about her family which hardly stays together. Her mother dead, her father is fleeing, her godfather left, and her uncle well...
The other part of her family was Draco and his mum, she has never met her but tomorrow she will, what told by Draco she is a nice and classy woman, prejudiced about blood and all but still she deeply cares for her child. And Amelia would not face problem because of her blood status because she is pureblood, she was in the safe zone. Amelia quickly sent a message through Higwarts mails informing Draco of her arrival.

Knowing there is no point in being awake till midnight, Amelia drifted to sleep, because sev never wishes her on midnights neither does remus he is an early bird to rise.

Waking up next day Amelia found herself still alone in the dungeons. Happy birthday to you Amelia, she muttered to herself grumpily finding the whole school almost empty, the only sound audible in the whole school was Filch's and mrs. Norris'. After having breakfast with Trinky Amelia decided to go and look for her uncle in the great hall but instead found Mcgonnacal instructions something to the seventh years. After realising Amelia's presence Mcgonnacal quickly dismissed the students calling Amelia by her side.

" Yes porfessor?" Amelia asked dragging her feet towards the old witch.

" Ms. Black i was told by Professor Snape that its your birthday today" Mcgonnacal said smiling a bit, Amelia nodded returning the smile.

" Happy birthday Ms. Black, may you become more like your mother than your father" Mcgonnacal said causing Amelia to look at her in surprise.

"You knew my mother professor?" Amelia asked instantly mentally faceplaming. Mcgonnacal let out a small chuckle.

"Ofcourse i knew her, my best students besides lily she was" Mcgonnacal said smiling while reminiscing memories. Amelia smiled widely looking at her.

"Thankyou so much professor" Amelia said gratefully turning around to leave but was stopped.

" Ms Black have this, these were your mother's favourite candies, she would distribute them on her birthday every year" Mcgonnacal said handing Amelia a small bag of candies, Amelia was feeling esctatic.

" Thankyou so much Minnie" Amelia squealed hugging Mcgonnacal getting a reluctant but warm hug in return, Amelia pulled away smiling and ran.

" Just like her father she is" Mcgonnacal said shaking her head smiling watching the girl run in the corridors.

Amelia reached her dorm to find a bunch of letters and boxes laying on her bed, she let the window open so that whoever sends her anything will come directly to her bed. She excitedly started unwrapping the letters and small gifts the first few letters were from France from her beauxbatons friends, then from the twins, it was a red jumper, a weasly jumper with a yellow 'A' on it.

Dear shorty,

Happiest birthday to you may you live even more than dumbledore, this is a weasly jumper we are sending you, I (fred) insisted mom to make on for you, she makes for everyone on christmas. And the other one gift is from both of us.

The coolest, handsomest, wisest twins of the world.

Owners of Weasly Wizard Wheezes

Fredrick and George Weasly.

P.s.:-  be careful with the other one ( fred).

Amelia chuckeled after reading the letter she reached out to being the another gift by them which was wrapped in very poor wrapping. Chuckling she reached out open but remembered 'be careful' so she decided to leave this gift for the end. Next gift was from Pansy, she sent a pair of very amazing velvet gloves. Surprise was that even Blaise and Vanessa sent her gifts but they were just candies. Daphne sent a group photo of all the girls from the trip, but she cropped Vanessa out  of it, Amelia laughed at this. Draco sent a thin silver bracelet with a small diamond in it, richass. Then Amelia went to the last gift it was from none other than her favourite person at hogwarts,Cedric. The box was neatly wrapped with a small bow adorning it, Amelia slowly unwrapped the box and upon opening she saw there were three things in it. A bouquet of flowers, a note and a small glass box.

The flowers were red magical carnations flowers, their fragnace was enough to make someone fall in love. Then Amelia opened the glass box to see a beautiful pair of earings in it, with red stones. Amelia quickly reached in front of the mirror to wear them, these are beautiful, thankyou ced. She thought to herself. Then she opened the note by him.

Dearest Amy,

Happiest birthday gorgeous-

Amelia blushed at the nickname

-its your birthday today, and i feel unlucky to not being there with you, i wish i could be there. Anyways i have sent you the flowers and those earings( i had a very hard time selecting them) so tell me if you like them.

Yours truly
Cedric

Amelia finished reading the letter with the reddest face and widest smile she could ever have. She loved the earings and the flowers evrything. She arranged all those things in her wardrobe before getting ready to go to Draco's house and descending down the stairs of the dorm. Upon reaching down she found the chosen one, seriously this boy has some special power of showing up out of nowhere, Amelia thought shaking her head. She ran to his direction startling him just like she did yesterday.

" Seriously Amelia people get scared" Harry said glaring at her bit, she suddenly remembered Remus's same words when she scared him and he scolded her. Today she didnt even get a small happy birthday note from him.

"Btw Happy birthday" Harry said holding his hand out to shake, Amelia smiled and shaked his hand firmly.

"Sorry i couldnt get you a gift, as i was not allowed, but i promise i will make it up to you some time" Harry said apologetically.

" Nonsense Harold, btw you can make up to me right now if you want" Amelia said with mischevious glint in her eyes. Harry raised an eyebrow at her.

" How?" He asked. Amelia reached out to bring something big from her bag, probably it had an extension charm in it.

" Open this for me" Amelia said handing the gift from fred and george to him. Harry stared at her as if she has grown 5 heads.

" Why isnt it your gift you should open it" Harey said nervously.

" I know i should open it genius but just please do, its my birthday" Amelia rolled her eyes, making puppy face on the last part, narrowing his eyes Harry took the gift from her hands and stared unwrapping it.

A wooden box came into view, harry looked in her eyes for consent Amelia nodded eagerly. Amelia backed away a few steps when the gift was just about to be opened. As soon as Harry opened the gift a boom sound filled the common room, then the voice of Fred and george singing Happy birthday song to Amelia, feathers and confetti flying in the air, but the cherry to the cake was when a small cupcake launched itself on Harry's face, struck on his nose, Amelia laughed out loudly. Harry wanted to glare at her hard but seeing her laughing so lively he could just watch and admire her. By the end of the laugh Amelia had tears in her eyes

"Is this why you wanted me to open it" Harry asked playfully glaring at Amelia who was still not done with laughing.

" Safety precautions Harold, look at you, you look so cute, aww vanilla nose" Amelia laughed pointing on Harry's nose which was covered with Vanilla icing, Harry blushing hard on her comment. Handing her the box he tried the wipe the icing from his nose but before he could do so Amelia quickly flicked her wand removing all the material from his face.

" Thankyou so much i am truly grateful" Harry said rolling his eyes causing Amelia to snort, Amelia saw there was still some icing left on the side of his nose. She moved closer to wipe it from her thumb, Harry froze on his spot experiencing her in the same closeness which he did on that night in the trip.

" Here you are done" Amelia said wiping the whole cream and stepping backwards, she ignored how flustered Harry looked because her attention was diverted on what was inside that wooden box, it was a toy, a wooden doll which was dressed completely like Amelia, it was an Amelia doll!. Amelia stood there amazed on how great skills the twins have, Harry too was amazed on their skills.

" Wow, aren't they the best, look at this it looks just like me" Amelia squealed holding the doll beside her face, Harry nodded like an idiot in agreement.

" Although i have no one here with me but i still feel special today" Amelia said smiling.
