"Oh no, not you again" Amelia groaned seeing she was once again pulled in the spooky dreamy place by her mother.

"Amelia.." She heard her mother come from behind with a dreamy smile.

"You really cant spend a day without me?" Amelia asked uninterested, Sierra chuckled.

"I love spending time with my daughter" Sierra said simply shrugging. Amelia sighed and sat down beside her.

"You are going to start your fifth year" Sierra stated, Amelia hummed. Amelia could see she was reading her face and thinking something deeply.

"Listen Amelia, not everything happens the way we want it to be, just allow what live throws at you okayโ€“" Sierra began but was interrupted.

"Please I am tired of your philosophy class, just not today" Amelia whined causing her to chuckle. Something clicked in Amelia's mind and she again turned to her mother.

"Mum? Dad asked me to remove this necklace. Why?" Amelia asked. Sierra sighed pursing her lips.

"I am afraid I cant tell you, but remember not to remove it ever, okay" Sierra daid with a small smile.

"Okay I wont remove but just tell me why dad has a problem with ut and also grandma said too to not remove this, why?" Amelia asked.

"Amelia this necklace is a black family heirloom and not just an ordinary one, every black daughter is given this, and it holds a significance, this necklace will help you save your family, your loved ones, trust me" Sierra said, Amelia frowned.

"How?"

"I dont know, it will help in different way, and if you remove it you will regret it" Sierra said in a low tone.

"Okay one more thing, Cissy told me you had it for a short time before you um died, and I have collected that you started showing up in my dreams or whatever after I had this, so is this connected to you or something?" Amelia asked unsure.

"Yes, it is, there is a part of me in it" Sierra said with a small gentle smile.

"Part of you?"

"You will know everything with time, right now you just have to focus on your present" Sierra said, Amelia hated the way she never told anything completely.

"How's your father? I know you burst out at him" Sierra daid changing the topic.

"He was only focussing on the chosen one, and I became angry" Amelia grumpled.

"Dont be, Harry is also a part of family, when you were born he was so attached to you, you were both best friends even at the age of one" Sierra said and Amelia couldnt help but grimace.

"Ew please, him and I can never be best friends" Amelia said shaking her head. Sierra chuckled at her daughter.

"Oh and Mumโ€“ who's Reggie?" Amelia asked. A pleasant yet pained smile formed on Sierra's face.

"Biologically he was your father's brother but emotionally he was mine" Sierra said smiling, Amelia found it interesting.

"Was?"

"Yes, he died in the end of our sixth year, dont ask why and how?" Sierra said dismissively.

"But I want to knowโ€“" Amelia's whining was interrupted by other voice.

"Amelia wake up! Wake Up" Amelia gasped as she felt herself pushed in another world and opened her eyes to see a bespectacled boy too close to her face.  She made a face of grimace and pushed him away.

"You scared me" She said glaring at him.

"I scared you?! You scared me! You sleep talker!" Harry fired back. Amelia shook her head in displeasure and sae the compartment was empty.

"Where's everyone?" She asked.

"They left, we are here, you were not waking up and I had to stay, to wake you up" Harry grumpled picking his stuffs up. Amelia rolled her eyes and quickly took her stuff amd left the compartment pushing him aside.

Merging with the crowds and moving along she saw this time they had to go by carriages and the same girl from the compartment was sitting alone on one, so Amelia decided to sit with her. But much to her displeasure the golden trio followed after her.

"Whats this?" Harry said looking in front of the carriage. His friends frowned.

"What?" They asked.

"This horse like thing, thats pulling the carriages" Harry said confused. Amelia's mouth parted as she realised what he might be talking about.

"There nothing pulling the carriage Harry, they are pulling themselves" Hermione said. Amelia rolled her eyes at the brightestโ€“witchโ€“ofโ€“her โ€“age.

"I think I am going insane" Harry mumbled climbing on the carriage.

"You are just as sane as I am" Said a dreamy voice.

"Who is she?" Ron asked gesturing towards the dreamy girl.

"Oh she is Loony Lovegoodโ€“" Hermione began and gasped when she realised what she said getting Amelia's harsh glare.

"Luna Lovegood" Hermione corrected herself pursing her lips.

"And Luna this is Mudโ€“ Oh Hermione Granger" Amelia said hotly, causing Hermione to glare at her.

Amelia would never use that word, but right now the bushy haired witch needed to be taught a lesson. The three people people shifted uncomfortably due to the awkward tension.

"Erm what did you mean by 'just as sane as you'?" Harry asked trying to ease the tension off.

"Oh, the carriages are being pulled by thestrals" Luna said. The golden trio passed her an oblivious look, Amelia rolled her eyes sighing.

"Thestrals are horse like creatures with wings, they are considered dangerous idk why, only the purple who have witnessed someone's death can see them" Amelia explained, dhe realised why Harry was seeing them and her eyes felt the tears arising in them.

"Does that mean I am being able to see them because i saw Ceโ€“" Harry began warily.

"Yes, now shut up" Amelia interrupted harshly.

"And you can also see them?" Ron asked to Luna.

"Yes, becaude of my mother's death in my first year" Luna said. Everyone fell into silence until Hermione decided to break it.

"Which book did you read all this, Amelia?"

All the students gathered in the great hall to begin their new year and all of them amazed by the bright pink toad-like woman sitting with the professors.

Dumbledore began his speech as usual introducing the new professor, he introduced the toad-like woman as Dolores Umbridge. Amelia who as usual sat with the twins jerkwd her head up at the name, she had already heard about the woman by Sev, she works at the ministry. But the highlight of the day was when The Pink woman interrupted Dumbledore and stood up to give her own speech. Every students sat bewildered, no one interrupts the Headmaster.

"Thankyou for the kind words and the welcome, its so good to see all your bright faces smiling up at me, I am sue we are all going to be very good friends" The woman began with her extra suger coated voice. Amelia looked around to see which mad person was smiling, Clearly No one.

The new professor continued her long boring speech which no one really paid attention. The feast started and everyone ate like they havent ate since ages. It took everything for Amelia to not look in front of her because the yellow robed people reminded her many things which she didnt want to remember in front of the whole hall, stiffly she ate not paying attention to anything.

Her eyes fell on her uncle who looked like he wanted to be anywhere but beside that pink woman. His distaste for that woman must be on another level as she got the job he wanted since so long.

The next day students gathered in the DADA classroom waiting for their new professor. Amelia sat beside her cousin and his friends. Crabbe and Goyle were busy shooting chits on the flying paper bird, which probably Parvati made.

"I already hate that woman" Daphne grumpled.

"Yes, seeing her burns my eyes" Blaise said groaning on Daphne's shoulder, making her slightly widen her eyes and blush.

"Good Morning Class" Every head turned on hearing the sickly sweet voice and saw the pink woman standing there. She burned the paper bird which dropped on the desk of Parvati Patil. 

The Professor made a long speech on how the students hould be taught and they had their owls this year. She told all their studies will be theoretical and got question by Hermione.

"I dont see the need why you have to use spells in my classroom" She asked with a wide smile.

"To fight what's out there ofcourse" Harry said in a duh tone.

"There is nothing out there my dear, what do you imagine will attack children like yourselves ?" She asked turning to Harry with a wide smile.

"I dont know maybe Lord Voldermort" Harry said as if it was obvious causing the class to go dead silent. Amelia smirked to herself. He is an idiot but he is brave.

"Let me clear it to you, you have been told that a certain dark wizard is at large once again, this is a lieโ€“" She said roaming around the class.

"This is not a lie. I saw him. I fought Voldermortโ€“" Harry exclaimed before being cut.

"Detention Mr. Potter" Umbridge said in a raised voice.

"So according to you Cedric Diggory dropped dead on his own accord?" Harry yelled. Amelia held her breath to not show any emotion at the mention of the name because many heads now turned to her.

"Cedric Diggory's death was a tragic accident!" Umbridge exclaimed. Amelia took deep breaths to not burst out at the woman.

"Cedric Diggory's death was a murder, he was killed! Voldermort killed himโ€“" Harry yelled.

"ENOUGH" Umbridge yelled but quickly put up the same irritating smile on her face. The class was dead silent.

"See me later Mr. Potter at my office" She said sweetly.

"Finally!" Amelia huffed as she reached on the top of the astronomy tower after she confirmed that everyone was asleep. She was finding it hard to sleep because most of the things made her think about him.

She sat by the stone cold wall hugging her knees to her chest staring the sky filled with stars. Her hands dig in her pocket and she took out the golden ball which instantly fluttered its wings.

"Hey" she whispered with a weak smile holding ut up.

The snitch was gifted to her by Cedric in her third year, and she promised him she would keep it with her forever. Sighing she looked up at the sky several stars and constellations she recognised. Draco, Sirius, Andromeda, Regulus, Scorpius, Cassiopeia, Lyra, etc she recognised all if them, because Cedric was too good in astronomy and spending time with him did that to her.

She started humming a song closing her eyes, enjoying the cool breeze. Spending time with herself at such peaceful place was al she wanted. Opening her eyes she leaned to her head to the side, and her eyes fell on the stone wall which had something carved on it.

R.J.L. & L.C.B. & J.F.P.

She frowned because she knew what R.J.L. stood for, but what about the other twos, and also the R.J.L. had a scratch on it cutting it. She found it amusing, whoever this was, seemed cool.
