"RONALD WHAT ARE YOUR SHOES DOING IN MY OWL'S CAGE!?" Amelia came roaring and throwing Ron's shoes at him.

It had been a hustle in the nobel house of Black. Today was 31st August a day before the starting of school, and all the kids still had their stuffs unpacked. They were all irresponsible except Hermione, who had her stuffs packed since forever, only she was the punctual one of them all – In Molly Weasley's opinion.

"Ginny dear, your robes are readied!" Molly called. Ginny being the only girl in the Weasley family got everything new, while Ron got the over-recycled things.

"Oh such a traumatic sight" George came put wide eyed, with a hand on his heart.

"What happened?" Hermione asked.

"Both Harry and Ron have matching pairs of undergarments" Fred said with the same traumatic look as George, while Ron and Harry widened their eyes going red.

"I didnt know you guys were THIS close friends" Ginny exclaimed laughing. Others joined.

"Amelia? Do you want to or not?" Remus called from the other room.

"What?" Hermione asked.

"You will know in just a few minutes" Amelia winked at her and ran inside.

Hermione looked at her confused but then got back to her work. Amelia returned after half an hour, and Ginny being the first person to notice her squealed really loudly making others jump.

"What the hell Ginny–" Ron exclaimed.

"Shut up Ron just look at her!" Ginny exclaimed pointing towards Amelia. Everyone turned to look at her and were met with a different sight of Amelia.

"Your Hair!?!" Hermione exclaimed clamping hands on her mouth.

Amelia cut her hair to shoulder length and they were now slightly wavy. Over the summer her hair grew till lower back and now everyone was startled seeing the length totally disappear.

"Bloody hell" Ron breathed out wide eyed, no one could understand whether his expression was surprised or shocked.

"I loved you hair! Why did you cut them!?" Hermione exclaimed with a hurt look. Amelia laughed.

"A change is always better...and sometimes necessary" Amelia said with an unreadable look, a different smile.

"I liked them longer" Harry was the one to speak.

"Couldnt care less"

Amelia and Harry hadn't been on the best terms since that time. Both retorted, taunted or made snarky comments to each other. Amelia couldn't understand what caused him to talk like that to her, neither she tried to find out.

"Come on Amelia, dont be so harsh on him" Amelia's father spoke up coming to his side. Amelia simply ignored the duo with a sarcastic smile.

"Btw who cut your hair?" Ginny asked.

"The one and only, super talented, god gifted, Remus Moony Lupin" Amelia said mockingly bowing. Remus shook his head smiling.

"She threatened me with my chocolates, had to do it afterall" He said smiling.

"I must say Amy you look even prettier" Fred flirted shamelessly in front of everyone, Remus gave him the look.

"Not my goddaughter" Remus playfully threatened wrapping an arm around Amelia's shoulder.

"Bad luck Forge" Amelia teased with a fake pity look.

Amelia liked the way her godfather had been always so protective, although never more than Sev, Sev was just on another level, he wouldnt even let an unknown boy breath near his niece. But the thing that ached her heart was her father never did that for her, in her opinion he was the who should always be at the forefront to push boys away from his daughter, but he didnt even notice, all his focus was concentrated on the son of his dead bestfriend. 

Amelia's eyes darted towards her father and his godson who were both holding a hand mirror. She frowned. Is he giving beauty advises to the chosen one, why am I not surprised? She thought to herself.

"Remus what's that?" Amelia whispered to her godfather. He saw what she pointed at.

"Oh that–"

"Dont say so loud" she hissed. He rolled his eyes.

"Thats a two way mirror, Sirius had it since our school days, there are two of them, we can talk or see the other person with the other pair mirror" Remus answered. Amelia hummed with a frown. Now It was getting on her nerves.

By evening everyone' stuffs were packed and they were all set for tomorrow. After the dinner everyone went to their rooms, when everything was clear, Amelia quickly sneaked to her father's room and knocked softly.

"Yes Harry– oh" Sirius answered the door but then saw his daughter standing there with a deadpanned look.

"I see my father has got a new kid" Amelia smiled sarcastically. Sirius frowned letting her in.

"Do you need anything?" He asked.

"Do I need a reason to meet my father, or only chosen ones have this privilege?" She asked giving him a sharp look.

"No– I mean– I was just surprised you never came to me like this– so I thought you must be in the need of something" He replied nervously.

"Tomorrow I am leaving" She stated and was internally wanting to see his reaction.

"I know, everyone is" He said chuckling and shrugging.

That was not the reply she expected or wanted.

"So are you gonna miss me?" She asked acting cheeky.

"Ofcourse I will miss everyone–"

"I asked– Are. You. Going. To. Miss. Me?" She repeated. Sirius gulped, sometimes she was so unpredictable.

"Yes, why will I not, you are my daughter–"

"Wow you remember!" She fake exclaimed. Sirius frowned.

"Amelia? Whats the matter?" He asked in a serious tone. She let out a dry laugh before speaking.

"The matter, dad, is that I dont think you remember you have a child, your own child, not someone else'" she said glaring at him.

Sirius' mouth parted in disbelief on her behavior, his eyes suddenly fell on the necklace she was wearing, he pursed his lips tightly.

"Amelia remove that necklace, right now" He commanded. Amelia gave him a bewildered look.

"Stop trying to change the topic–"

"Amelia I said remove it, that thing is making you say all this–"

"Do you think I am that dumb that you will say anything and try to change the topic and I will let it happen, if it were Harry in my place, you both would have been laughing with each other but do you even remember the last time you talked to me – NO – because you were busy attending your dead bestfriends son the whole time–" She was yelling by now.

"Amelia i said remove that thing right away!–" He snapped cutting her.

"I WILL NOT REMOVE IT!" She snarled, her eyes bloodshot.

"What is happening here!?" Remus came in the pushing the door wide open. He saw his goddaughter fuming in anger.

"Amelia? Sirius? What happened?" He asked again worried.

"Moony just get Amelia take that thing out" Sirius said calmly.

"For the last and final time– NO" she yelled.

"AMELIA–" Sirius couldnt complete his sentence as she already ran out closing the door with a really loud thud. She went to the corridor where her grandmother's portrait was hung and removed the cloth in one movement.

"He is asking me to remove this!" Amelia said in a raised voice holding the necklace up cutting the coughing of her grandmother.

"Dont remove it" Walburga said simply. She could see Amelia's bloodshot eyes and heavy breathing.

"What happened?" She asked her granddaughter.

Amelia narrated her the whole thing.

"He is the most disgraceful person when it comes to family–" Walburga began bitterly but was interrupted by another voice.

"Oh no not again"  Sirius groaned in his hands seeing his daughter sitting in front of his lovely mother's portrait again.

"I am leaving tomorrow grandma" Amelia said to the portrait ignoring her father's presence.

"Very well, you'll be better there, and take care, alright? Are you all packed?" Walburga asked in a softer tone than the one she uses on others.

"Yes–" Amelia was interrupted by her father again.

"Amelia thats enough! Come back, and do what I asked you to" Sirius said in a low tone. Amelia passed him a harsh glare befote turning back to her grandmother.

"I wanted to say goodbye before I leave, as tomorrow I wont be able to because the train timing is so early–"

"AMELIA!" Sirius roared and instantly furious tears pricked in her eyes.

"DONT YOU DARE RAISE YOU VOICE AT MY GRANDDAUGHTER"

"OH SHUT UP SHE IS MY DAUGHTER AND I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING"

Both kept bickering and yelling at each other and didnt even realise Amelia ran away from their as the whole crowd of the house assembled there. She didnt know where her steps led her, through the blurred vision of furious tears she pushed open a door and stepped in locking it behind her harshly and collapsed on the floor supported by the wall.

Every minor thing made her blood boil, she didnt know what was happening to her, everything made her frustrated. Heavy hot tears rolled down her cheeks as she let out a furious shriek clutching to her hair.

She stayed in the room not listening to any of the yells coming from outside, knowing if she stepped out the same thing will repeat. She layed aimlessly on the dusty floor in order to calm her mind. Hours passed laying their staring at the ceiling.

After a while she took the notice of the place around her, she frowned sitting up, not knowing in what part of the house she was. The room was dusty, but clearly seemed like it belonged to a girl, because she knows very well no man of the black family would want such sophisticated decorations in their room, which were now faded and covered with spider webs, it looked like the room hadn't been opened since years.

She stood up and walked around the room, dim moonlight coming from the broken and rusty windows. A broken queen size bed, a dressing table with a broken mirror, a broken leg wardrobe, as she opened it the door came out in her hand, her hear beat sped up, she saw it was totally empty and was now the home of spiders. The room once had been really royal.

Her heart pounded even faster when a rat popped out from under the bed, she resisted the urge to shriek. Her eyes fell under the bed and she could see a small figure. Letting out a shuddered breath she bent down gulping seeing what that was. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw it was just a book, she pulled that out with slightly trembling hands and saw half of it was eaten by the rats.

The life of Aryl Hale

Said the name of the book, it had a rough and faded royal blue cover and she saw only few pages of the book were filled, the handwriting was just flawless, but the pages were totally destroyed. Amelia flinched wildly when loud banging on the door was heard.

"Amelia come out everyone is worried" Fred yelled from outside, she sighed as it was not any elder and quickly shouted a 'coming'.

She once again checked if anything else was there in the room, nothing. She stood up and opened the door and was instantly launched on by worried Fredrick Weasley.

"You dummy when did tou come here, we were all worried" Fred exclaimed pulling back.

"Oh and by all you mean you, George, your mum, and Remus, right?" She scoffed.

"Shut up now come tomorrow we have to wake up early" Fred said wrapping an arm around her shoulder.

"I dont want to face anyone" She muttered with a pout.

"You dont have to, come" He said pulling her with him. He perfectly managed to help her sneak back to her room safely. She thanked him and decided to stay in her room until tomorrow morning. She also decided one more thing that she wont utter a word to her father now, at all costs.

"Fred! George! Ron! Ginny! Harry! Amelia! Hermione! Out of your beds NOW" all the children were woken up by the lovely voice of Molly Weasley.

Amelia groaned checking the time it was only 6 in the morning, but she had to leave the bed because getting scolded by Molly Weasley is not something someone would want. Amelia quickly had a bath and got ready, decided to let her hair stay open, afterall everyone should get the view of change in her.

She went downstairs making sure she was the last one and just a minute before breakfast. As she showed up every head turned towards her, she pulled a calm face and found her godfather scurrying to his side, he eyes stopped wandering just before she could make eye contact with her father. She gave her godfather a small smile staying quite, Molly settled everyone for breakfast. Amelia sat between the twins as always, she could feel grey eyes on her.

She barely spoke to anyone except the twins and yet acted perfectly casual, today she also made sure the blue pendant around her neck was easily visible to everyone purposely. After breakfast everyone got ready with their trunks and pets. Tonks and Moody arrived too.

Amelia felt a few times her father trying to approach her but she purposely went away. She quickly went to her godfather and hugged him tightly.

"I will miss you so much" She mumbled genuinely burying her face in his chest and heard him chuckle.

"I know, I will too, a lot" He said pulling away and kissing her forehead.

"Come quick kids" Arthur called from outside, all the kids scurried outside for the kings Cross section.

"Amelia wait–" She heard her father but she interrupted.

"Come quick Ginny we are getting late" Amelia called the redhead who was hugging her mother goodbye.

Ginny came quickly and all of them left for the Kings Cross Section. All of them started passing through the wall to enter the platform 9¾ but suddenly they all see Moody, Tonks and Padfoot coming all together. Moody yells something at the black dog. The black dog goes inside the room on the station, Harry notices and rushes after the dog, Amelia noticed the whole act with a clenched jaw.

"What is he doing here?" Amelia asked quitely to Tonks.

"He came to see off his children" Tonks said smiling. Children. Amelia noted with a bitter smirk.

"I guess goodbye Dora, I'll miss you" Amelia said with a smile hugging her.

After a few minutes Harry came out with a big grin on his face which irked Amelia a lot. She tried her best to ignore that, the black dog came out again and stood beside Moody. Amelia made an eyes contact with the dog for a brief moment before looking away briskly. All of them quickly boarded the train finding compartments for themselves.

Amelia found an almost empty compartment, just one long blonde haired girl sat inside it with big funny glasses and a quibbler magazine. An amused look crept on Amelia's face before she knocked on the compartment door.

"Do you mind sharing the compartment?" Amelia asked with a small smile.

"Not at all, come inside" The girl said in a dreamy voice. Amelia sat inside across her.

"Oh come on its just Loony Lovegood and Amelia" Amelia heard Ginny and rolled her eyes. The door of the compartment slid open and incame Ginny, Neville and Harry.

"Where are the other two, ditched you Harold?" Amelia mocked bitterly.

"If you have forgotten, they are prefects and will be sitting in the prefects compartment from now" Harry replied in the same tone. Amelia shook her head and looked outside the window slowly drifting to sleep.
