Amelia found herself again standing in the same awfully scary woods, evrything dark and gloomy, the cold wind causing goosebumps. She knew at every step what was next to happen she will hear a voice call her.
"Amelia, come" This raspy voice was of her mother and Amelia followed it everytime.
" Mum, where are you?" Amelia called furrowing her eyebrows, as she didnt find her mother behind the same tree.
"Chin up baby" The voice came from above, her mother, Sierra was dangling from a branch of a tree, in the same dress, and same rough messy hair.
Amelia gulped although this was her mother and she intended no harm to her but something in her still made her feel afraid.
" Yes mum?" Amelia asked a bit scared because of her mother's dangling position. Sierra smiled at her daughter before plopping down and standing in front of her. She reached out to hold her hand. Amelia flinched on the touch of her mother's cold hand.
"Sit with me?" Sierra asked sweetly but it was still terrifying Amelia nodded reluctantly. Sierra made themselves sit on the ground supported by the tree.
"How are you Amelia?" Sierra asked stroking her daughter's raven hair.
" I-I am fine mum?" Amelia said stuttering on her mother's touch. Sierra smiled and wrapped an arm around her daughter's shoulder.
"How is severus?" Sierra asked bringing her daughter's head to rest on her shoulder.
" He is also fine" Amelia answer trying to sound steady. Sierra started humming a song closing her eyes.
" Mum how am i able to see you, meet you and touch you, they said you were d-dead" Amelia asked cautiously lifting her head from her mother's shoulder and looking in her eyes.
"No one dies Amelia, their soul always lives" Sierra answered in her sweet scary voice.
" So are you a soul, then how is this everything.." Amelia trailed off not knowing how to describe.
"Listen Amelia, people always live in the heart of their loved ones, they are always alive untill they have someone whose heart still beats for them" Sierra said cupping her daughter's face, her eyes brimming with tears. Amelia held a confused frown on her face.
" I dont get it, are you alive or dead or am i imagining things, but it feels so real to imaging things" Amelia said earnestly.
"You will know in time" Sierra said pulling away, and suddenly Amelia felt herself being thrown in some thing from a very large height. Her head started spinning vigorously and eyes fluttered shut.
Amelia jerked up from her bed panting loudly, she was covered in her own sweat. She saw around her her three roommates sound asleep, she looked at the clock to see it was 3 am in the morning.
This dream thing had been happening to her almost daily, she finds herself daily going into the woods following her dead mother, and she tells her mysterious thing which make no sense to Amelia
Amelia doesnt know if this is a dream or reality. Whatever that happens with her feels so real yet unreal. She is incapable of finding a way to tell the whole matter to Sev. She spends many sleepless nights in the fearing of finding herself in the same situation.
Sometimes her mother says loving words to her while sometimes she warns and threatens her for the future, but Amelia doesnt understand a single bit of anything her mother says.
Amelia let out an exasperated sigh trying to sleep again, she tosses and turns the whole time until Hermione wakes up at 5 and switches opens the curtains. Amelia watches the faint sunlight outside her window laying on her bed.
At 6 she decided to get up and quickly get ready, she showered and changed into the school robes and left her dorm leaving a confused Hermione. She runs to the kitchen to have a short breakfast and then to the quidditch field. No one comes at the field at this hour so she enjoys herself on the broom and by 8 goes to meet the twins.
She had been keeping herself busy in twins' lame tasks to withdrew her attention from the memories of the dreams of her mother. Her and twins have invented a lot of pranking products for the twins' future shop.
Amelia has got herself all tied up to her classes and now is on the full mode of preparing for her annual exams which are in the beginning of April. She spends most of her time in library sometimes Hermione accompanies her but the both dont utter a word to each other.
After meeting the twins and knowing about their progress in the new products, Amelia decided to go to library. Madam Pince liked the girl, Amelia helped her many times because she used to stay a bit longer than everyone.
Reaching the library she found herself an empty table and started making her transfiguration notes. She didnt realise an hour or two passed until she felt someone slid beside her, she turned to find Cedric sitting besides her with his eyes focussed on his book. Amelia smiled to herself on how he acted like he didnt see her but purposely sat beside her.
"I am almost done, what about you?" Amelia asked leaning her head on the table looking at him.
"I was already done" Cedric said smiling leaning his head too in front of Amelia's face. Amelia smiled to hide her blush.
"I am tired" Amelia said pouting.
"Then take a nap" Cedric said smiling. He didnt knew Amelia was escaping from her sleeps.
"No, something else"
"For today i am a bit busy, do you have any plans for tomorrow?" Cedric asked wiggling his eyebrows.
"No, tomorrow's saturday, the twins said they'll be busy and wont go hogsmeade so maybe i'll just study here." Amelia said shrugging nonchalantly.
"How about you come to Hogsmeade with me?" Cedric asked a bit nervous and timidly. Amelia saw how cute he looked when nervous.
"Are you asking me out Mr. Diggory?" Amelia asked playfully.
"Um-i i mean we could- you-" Cedric trailed off stuttering his face going red, he mentally cursed himself for being a stuttering idiot in front of her. He knew everytime he messes up everything when nervous.
"I am waiting" Amelia sing songed playfully, this was her way to hid her blush.
"Yeah sure, why not, lets try it?" Cedric said the steadiest way possible. Amelia couldnt control the large smile forming on her face.
"Lets try it" She confirmed poking his nose. They both sat in the same position for a few moments until Amelia fell asleep. Although Cedric had things lined up for him but he didnt wanted to leave her like this. He stayed until she completed her nap. She stirred in her sleep and was almost falling out of her chair when Cedric swiftly caught her in his arms.
Before Amelia could let out a shriek Cedric placed a hand on her mouth, muffling her scream so that Madam Pince couldnt hear. Amelia looked at him wide eyed, whith her both hands on his chest, while his one hand was on her mouth and other around her waist pulling her up.
"Sorry you were about to fall" Cedric said removing his hand softly from her face, Amelia felt her throat go dry because of the close proximity between their faces. She cleared her throat looking down gesturing him to his other hand.
" Yeah sorry, here" Cedric said removing his hand quickly from her waist and helping her stand on her feet. Amelia felt all the warmth go away as he removed his hand, she mentally shook her head and grabbed her books.
"Thankyou for not letting me fall" Amelia said looking down not meeting his eyes. She was blushing hard and so was he.
"Anytime" Cedric said nodding his head awkwardly with oink tinted cheeks. Amelia left sparing him the last glance.
On her way back to her dorm her mind was drifted to only one thing, actually one person, Cedric, he was becoming something more than friends and Amelia liked it. She was starting to like him more than friends. She liked the way he treated her, how he was always a gentleman around her, so sweet and so caring,his maturity, his looks everything appealed Amelia. She knew was falling for him.
Shaking her head smiling at his thoughts Amelia entered her dorm to find an unfamiliar owl sitting on the window sill. Lavender brown already was in room but was busy with her wardrobe. Amelia reached forward to bring the letter out of the owl's beak. She saw the letter was associated to her. Frowning she opened the envelope and started reading the letter.
Dear Amelia,
I am sorry i have not been able to send you any letters all this time, i am extremely sorry. I was actually busy finding a place for me to live, and because of my uncle i have got my family home, The Grimauld place number 12, it only opens for wizards who memorize this name when standing on the address. So if you anytime want to come back to me...
Also you can inform Harry about this.
Lots of love
Snuffles.
