Amelia's Pov:

I walk through the same woods again, but this time its pouring heavily. The familiar frail voice calls for me again and i felt myself being pulled towards it. Reaching the spot where everytime i see her. The same scary hemlock tree which has 'the half blood princess' carved on it.

The sound of twigs breaking causes me to freeze knowing now she will come out of nowhere. I dont dare to turn everytime i meet her my fear increases.

"Hello Amelia" she calls from behind causing chills to run down my spin. I shuddered before slowly turning around to witness her drenched.

"Mum" i only manage to let out a whisper. She gives me the smile before reaching out to hold my hand and pull me to sit beside her supported by the tree. I sit stiffly waiting for her to say something.

"You know why its raining?" She asked in her dreamy voice looking at the dark clouds. I stay silent.

"Rain is a symbol of devastation and death" she said with her weak dreamy smile. She had been always mentioning death and separation but i dont understand anything at all.

She keeps on saying something with hidden meanings which i am always unable to decipher.

"Mum?" I call hesitantly she turns to face me with her smile which cause me to shrink everytime. I gulp before speaking further.

"I dont understand how and why am i seeing you? What is happening with me, am i going insane?" I ask but again i know i will not get a straight answer.

"You are a part me my daughter, a mother and child share special bond which is beyond words to explain" she said cupping my face. I just frown scared.

I stare in her dark black eyes, wonder who had such unreal eyes. Mine were black with tints of brown in them. But hers are pure black and many time i feel they glow red. Or maybe that is also a part of my imagination.

She blinks slowly as i stare and suddenly i see the red tint in them again. How is this possible and suddenly i feel the strong harsh pull again, indicating whatever i am seeing is ending.

Amelia pants loudly as her eyes flutter open, she laying on her bed. She looks around to see she is back in her room, its dark. She turns to look at the time its 4 in the morning. She furrows her eyebrows in pain which strikes in her head everytime she returns from whatever world her mother calls her.

Amelia had been again getting a lot of dreams of her mother. She doesnt understand what is this happening with her. It has been 2 months since her vacations started. And every single day she gets to see her mother.

Earlier she wanted to meet her mother once because she missed her a lot but after getting to know her a lot lately she had been cutting her sleeps because whatever she says scares her.

Amelia gets out of the bed and descend downstairs to the kitchen. Spinner's end had always been this quite. She passes through the living room, which had its foor open and she could see papers sprawled on the table. Sev has been too busy lately. Whenever asked by Amelia he would just say there's something important coming up.

Amelia got to meet Draco in Diagon alley on day, as a coincidence, which she was too grateful for. She hadn't stepped out of the house except that because Sev told her he would take her shopping for potion ingredients. To keep her busy Sev assigned her tasks to brew potions for school stocks. Amelia never sees Sev not more than 10 minutes a day.

The only way she got to interact with her friends was through letters. Draco, Blaise, Pansy, Daphne, twins, and Cedric the people who sent regular letters.

She reaches the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water to calm her scratchy throat down because of the rough night. Just as she was about to bring the glass of water to her mouth the cold voice stopped her.

"What are you doing?" She turned around flinching looking at her uncle in disbelief.

"For the love of god Sev, people get scared" She exclaimed. She saw her uncle all dressed up as if going out somewhere. She would have asked but was used to of not getting an answer.

"Why are you sweating?" He asked in suspicion. Amelia gulped remembering she had not told Sev about her whole mother thing.

"Nightmare" she replied shortly turning around drinking water.

"Since when are you getting nightmares?" He asked, Amelia mentally facepalmed. This man was never going to be convinced.

"Just today, i had a nightmare about a dementor" She lied, mentally disappointed in herself, couldnt think of anything better. She timidly turned around to face him, he had his arms folded clearly not believing her.

"What? Aren't you getting late for wherever you were going?" Amelia retorted trying to pull him off the subject. He rolled his eyes at her and left swiftly shutting the door loudly behind him. Amelia sighed in relief going back to her room trying to sleep a dreamless sleep.

A few more days past the conditions are same, Amelia still gets her mother's nightmare, they are getting terrifying day by day, Sev still is an extremely busy man, and Amelia still lives almost whole day alone.

Right now she sat on the breakfast tabel with her breakfast untouched in front of her. She was reading the daily Prophet, and the most intriguing news was of the quidditch world cup. It was to be hosted in a few months. She wouldnt miss it for the world.

Sev came out of his office Amelia only acknowledged him by raising an eyebrow at him shortly then getting back to her reading. Initially she used to keep tracks on when he use to come and leave but eventually stopped because his arrival and leaving was never fixed. God knows what was going on this time at hogwarts.

"Morning Sev" She said not looking up from the paper. He muttered a monotone 'morning' before seating himself at the head of the table.

"Whats in daily prophet today?" He asked munching his toast quickly to leave.

"Not much actually the most important thing is that the quidditch world cup is going to be hosted in a month or two. Buy me a ticket please" Amelia pleaded. She knew he was going to throw tantrums at her.

"There's nothing worth wasting so much money for" he said sipping his coffee hastily.

"Sev its just a one day thing, please" Amelia requested with a urging smile.

"I dont know how many times you want to hear No" Sev said monotonously.

"Sev dont you feel bad for me living all on my own, i havent seen a face of human other than yours this whole time." She said in a desparate tone.

"Its not good for you to go" he said shortly not meeting eyes the whole time.

"Oh god Sev why the hell are you so difficult, are you trying to imprison me, even my owl had seen more of the world than me" Amelia said raising her voice.

"Dont use that tone on me" he warned glaring at her.

"Or what? you've already grounded me for nothing, i work like a helpless elf for you, you show up just for not more than 5 minutes a day, do you even know how it feels like to be living all alone" Amelia yelled.

"You shouting at me wont get you the ticket for the quidditch world cup" Sev snarled banging his fists on the table.

"Then what will, tell me i am willing to do anything for it" Amelia said a bit quieter in a pleading tone.

"There's nothing you can do, it can be dangerous there" Sev snarled.

"You are unbelievable Sev" Amelia said bitterly shaking her head.

"End of discussion, if you have finished your breakfast go get the potions you prepared for the stocks" Sev said dismissively composing himself, Amelia stared at him in disbelief.

"I want to go to the world cup" she said folding her arms stubbornly.

"Amelia you are making it difficult for yourself" Sev warned.

"I dont care i will get the ticket my self , i dont need you for that" Amelia said.

"You are my ward and you are not going to do anything without my permission" Sev hissed.

"If i am your ward you are supposed to take care of me, not leave me all on my own" Amelia yelled.

"I dont see the need of babysitting a 14 year old" Sev said.

"For god's sake i am not fourteen yet, seriously man you call yourself my uncle" Amelia said in disbelief.

"Whatever you are not going anywhere and thats final" Sev said.

"You cannot bound me sev" She said dangerously. Sev's breath hitched as he saw something red sparkle in her eyes for a milli second.

"Dare you step a foot out of this house. To you room now" he shouted. Amelia clenched her jaw tightly getting up furiously causing the chair to fall behind her.

"I will go there and you wont be able to stop me" She hissed dangerously before leaving and stomping over the stairs, a tear strolled down her cheek which she wiped away briskly. After a few moments she heard the main door shut loudly indicating sev was gone.

She decided this time she wasnt going to stay quite now. She quickly threw all her clothes and stuffs in her trunk along with her broom. Suez hooted gaining her attention. She reached to bring the cage of her owl and descended downstairs the lights were off.

She cautiously went down and from the half way on the stairs making sure not to make any sound who knows Sev might not have left. Once checking every where cautiously she confirmed to herself that she was all alone in the house. She heard the loud thunder struck noise from outside. Well a bad time to escape.

She quickly went forward to unlock the door but it was locked, Sev must have put a spell. She groaned and thought for sometime before yelling.

"Bombarda Maxima" the door bursted opened, wooden pieces flying in air. She ran outside as fast as possible before repairing the foor back muttering a quick 'repairio' so that no thiefs enter the house. While leaving too i am doing him a favour. She thought smirking mischeviously. She knew the she had to wait a long time until the knight bus will come, because it is only available in night.

She decided to stay hidden in the gloomy dark corner a few streets away until it was dusk. She raised her wand arm standing on the foothpath as no one was in view.

Just a few moments later the purple bus stopped in front of her with great speed. She widened her eyes at how amazing the wizarding world was. The skinny conductor of the bus came into view.

"Get on the bus child" he barked. Amelia glared at him barging in leaving her stuffs outside she knew it was his job to pick up the stuff now. She planted herself on the seat by the window the conductor kept her stuff beside her.

"Where do you want to go?" He asked gruffly. Amelia digged her hand in her pocket and handed him the parchment. He raised an eyebrow at her after reading the address she just looked away.

"Very well" he said handing back the paper and waving his hand at the driver to start the bus, the bus started with a sudden jerk causing every thing to lunge forward, Amelia gripped to the seat tightly as her life depended it while Stan Shunspike the conductor managed to stand on his toes effortlessly.

Amelia looked outside as it started raining heavily remembering two times when she had a ride on the bus with her godfather, he taught her how to call the bus and how to manage to sit. After the wild ride Amelia reached her address and got down, it was now raining cats and dogs.

The house number which she wanted to see wasnt there. Was he fooling with me? She thought in disbelief. She looked at the soaked parchment again checking if she read wrong.

"No i read it right" she said to herself frowning, drenching in the rain. She felt disappoint and foolish at the moment. Disappointment because he betrayed her. And foolish because she was naive enough to leave spinner's end. She looked up as tears started brimming her eyes in the rain.

Instantly her eyes widened at what she saw looking up, a house popped out of nowhere, she gawked at it. She ran towards the door knocking loudly. Now her hurt tears transformed in to happy tears as the door opened and a figure stepped out from the shadow from inside.

"Amelia" the voice asked bewildered seeing the drenched girl at the door of the house with her luggage.

"Dad" she whispered smiling.
