Sirius stared at his daughter in surprise, shock or disbelief no one knows, because this was surely not the condition her last saw her in. She looked extremely weak, bags under her eyes, no sign of happiness on her face, like it used to be.

Nevertheless, he ran towards her bringing her in a warm and tight embrace. Just in an second Amelia inhaled strong essence of firewhiskey. She closed her eyes hugging back.

"I missed you"

Amelia just gave him a short look as he pulled away. You did?

"How are you?- sorry, i shouldnt ask that, i know you are not alright, look at yourself didnt you eat at all- Snive-" Sirius rambled before being interrupted his friend.

"Sirius let her breath" Remus said with a chuckle hoping to get a atleast a smile on her face, but none found.

"Sorry Amelia, come we'll have lunch soon, till the time you sit here" Sirius said quickly pulling her to sit on the couch. He noticed she hadn't even uttered a word since she arrived.

"You know Sirius Amelia loves shopping a lot, how about I take her to shopping tomorrow, or maybe today if she wants?" Remus spoke up trying to put up a conversation.

"Thats a very good idea moony, you might new things for her-" Sirius began excitedly but his daughter cut him off.

"Can I go to my room?" She asked quitely looking at Remus. Remus nodded with a smile, she stood up, Sirius felt a tinge at heart that she didnt even spare him a glance.

"But be back for the lunch in half hour" Sirius called happily as she was leaving. She gave him a short nod turning back and leaving.

She quickly reached her room, closing the door behind her and letting out an exasperated sigh, she hated getting those pitiful super happy eyes. They make her angered and as the anger rises, it turns into tears, which she dont want to shed now.

She stared in front of her to have a look of her room, it was the same as she left, nothing changed. One might appreciate Sirius for it, but she knew the real credit should go to Kreacher.

She opened her door a but to call Kreacher, who was doing his work close by and came in one voice.

"Mistress Amelia is welcome in the noble house of Black" Kreacher said bowing in a softer tone than the tone he uses on her father.

"Kreacher can you please get my stuffs here?" Amelia asked. The elf nodded and disappeared with a pop.

In less than twenty seconds all of Amelia's stuff was placed in her room. Amelia thanked Kreacher and started unpacking. As she opened the trunk a beautiful wooden box came into sight which made her heart ache again because what was inside it was very painful. Letting out a shuddered breath she decided to have a look once again inside the box.

A golden snitch, A necklace, lots of pictures, a few letter, small withered blue flowers, All of those things belonged to one person in particular.

As much as she hated to cry again and again, the tears found their way back to her eyes. She tried hard to swallow them back, but to no avail. As she held the golden snitch in hand it spread its fluttering wings.

I will get you the snitch , I promise.

His words rang in the back of her head and she fluttered shut her eyes not allowing any tear to seep through.

Exhaling sharply her eyes opened and fell on the moving pictures in the box, he laughed, danced, smiled, everything felt so real yet so unreal.

As a tear rolled down heavily from her cheek, she closed the box with a brisk movement, and wiped her cheek. She quickly placed all the stuff in the cupboard in less than ten minutes and felt her eyes and head go heavy, taking out a vial of the potion Sev prepared and drinking it in one sip she drifted to sleep. Hoping her mother or Cedric's dream wont haunt her with this.

A few moments later when an excited Sirius arrived in front of Amelia's door and knocked but got no response, he knocked again a bit louder but the door opened itself. He stepped in and saw his daughter already sleeping. All her trunks were empty, and she was changed in the casual clothes, and slept like hasnt slept since an eternity.

A sad smile crept on his face seeing his daughter in such a condition. This was no age for a heartbreak in his opinion. He was excited to have a lunch with her and talk to her but she was sleeping cancelling all the plans in his mind.

She stirred a bit in sleep causing the emerald blue pendant to hang to her sides, an uneasy feeling arised in Sirius' heart seeing that familiar thing. That necklace was a family heirloom, Sierra had that in her possessions for a short period of time just before her death. He wondered how Narcissa got that necklace and gifted to Amelia and why?

A next few days passed in a haze, Amelia would reply in just one or two words and Sev would daily come to the house of his arch enemy to check on his niece. While Sev met Amelia, Remus would drag Sirius away from them, in order to prevent any chaos.

Amelia tried to hide the fact that she dearly missed Cedric and it pained her a lot but Remus and Sirius were smart enough to read what was written on her face. Sirius was trying hard to do something that would lighten up his daughter's mood.

No father likes the idea of his daughter dating that too at such an young age, Sirius made that clear with the howler he sent to her, but now he couldnt help but feel sad. The boy who he didnt like a bit, he never thought that the boy will have such a big influence in his daughter's life. Maybe he was good, he thought to himself.

Again a few days passed, somedays Amelia wouldnt come out of her room at all, also everyone knew she was not having a proper diet. Kreacher took care of her as much as Sirius and Remus did, if not less. Heartbreak was definately a reason for her despair but it was not the reason for her ill health. The reason she hadn't shared with anyone till now.

Late at nights she would feel herself getting warmer and warmer, she would start sweating a lot. The potion was not very effective in cutting her dreams from sleep. The nights when her mother didnt show up her in sleep, she would get more sick. A very bad headache, retching, and body pain, she felt like her mother was distressed and was having a kind of control on her body. By this time Amelia was sure, what she was experiencing was dark magic, but she didnt know what to do to solve this.

One such night Amelia was sitting with her father on the dining table, Remus couldnt come because full moon was nearing. Sirius was scolding Kreacher for something before coming and sitting near her.

"Nasty elf.." Sirius muttered under his breath. Amelia didnt like the way her father treated the elf. She would never thing of treating Trinky that way. Trinky.

Once again a heavy feeling invaded her heart, taking deep breath she tried to shrug it off.

"You should not talk to him like that" Amelia said in a quite tone to her father.

"He was again calling moony a halfbreed" Sirius exclaimed offended. His loud tone making Amelia a bit irritated.

"He is taught to speak like that, you should just ignore it" Amelia said shortly.

"Well he certainly was also taught to respect his masters but look at his nasty blabbering mouth" Sirius retorted. Amelia didnt know why but her blood started boiling. She huffed closing her eyes.

She decided they would have dinner peacefully without talking and so they did. But as they started getting up a loud sound from the was heard, rushing there they saw Kreacher standing between broken crockery pieces.

"Kreacher are you fine!?"

"You useless elf! Cant you be a bit careful!"

Both Amelia and Sirius said at the same time. Amelia sharply turned to her father with wide eyes.

"Dont yell at him, he could have gotten hurt!" Amelia exclaimed offended.

"Amelia you go to your room and take rest, i know how to deal with him–"

"NO, you are not going to talk to him like that anymore" Amelia said angrily, not noticing the big eyes of Kreacher who was staring at her like she was god. While Sirius looked as if his own daughter called him a stray dog .

"Amelia what are you–" He asked in disbelief.

"Kreacher are you fine or not? Are you hurt?" Amelia interrupted her father by turning towards the elf.

"Kreacher is fine, Kreacher is very grateful because young Mistress Amelia is taking a stand for Kreacher.." and with that the elf started weeping dramatically, which so much reminded Amelia of Trinky. 

"Stop with your nonsense you stupid elf and clean everything" Sirius roared. Now Amelia lost it.

"You stop with your this behavior cant you see he is emotional, dont you know how to treat others nicely? APOLOGISE TO HIM" Amelia yelled and as she finished the bulb of the room blew and shattered into pieces, one small piece of glass tearing through Amelia's forearm, and she hissed in pain.

"Amelia–" Sirius began worried going towards her.

"LET ME GO!" Amelia yelled very badly this time, a tone which Sirius never heard from her. She left with loud thumps not looking behind how the glasses of the shelves were shaking wildly as if a storm came. Sirius and Kreacher held a horrified look.

In an instant they again heard one loud shriek coming from her, very loud, which caused all the glasses of the room to shattered into millions of pieces. Sirius watched everything in horror before rushing out.

"WHAT IS THIS HAPPENING!?"
