Amelia and her dorm mates were woken up by loud banging on their door. Hermione quickly opened the door and saw Angelina Johnson standing there.

"What happened!?" Hermione exclaimed worried.

"Ginny something's happened with your father– Harry says he has seen it–Mcgonnacal has taken him" Angelina said tensed. Ginny frowned worried and ran out of her bed with her. Amelia rolled her eyes before getting out of bed and running out with Hermione to Mcgonnacal's office.

Harry and Ron stood there and the headmaster joined soon too. Harry looked pale as ghost.

"Mr Weasley– he was attacked– in the ministry– he needs help!" Harry yelled at the professors standing in front of him. Dumbledore was clearly acting ignorant of him, but requested the portraits to do the needful.

"Look At Me!" Harry roared at the headmaster causing everyone to jump. He desperately explained what he had been feeling while he had the vision. Sev barged in the headmaster's office.

"Very well Harry, professor Snape will be teaching you occumelency" Dumbledore said and that was it, Snape dragged Harry away with him harshly.

The next day early in the morning it was found out the Arthur Weasley indeed was attacked byt was saved by the aurors on time and was now admitted in St. Mungos's, his children left already. Amelia felt bad on how Molly Weasley had been dealing with the situation, she had to be strong for her kids at this time.

Just in a couple of days the christmas holidays started, and it was no doubt that Amelia had to go to her father's house because Remus insisted in one of his letters. For a change Hermione Granger will be going with her too.

Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Amelia all with the help of aurors  apprated to the Grimmauld Place. A distressed Harry was the first one to barge in quickly, while an uninterested Amelia dragged her feet inside the house. 

She had one thing going in her mind about meeting her father, she would notice his every action towards her and Harry, although she somewhat knew what's going to happen. It was a really stupid thing to do in her opinion but still she had to do it.

All the children scurried in the house, firstly being greeted by Kreature, Amelia smiled at him quickly and ran inside to find her father and hopefully godfather too, it was full moon two days later so he may or may not be there.

"Sirius!" Harry, who was gloomy just a minute ago launched himself on his godfather as soon as he came into sight. Sirius laughed hugging his godson.

I feel so loved. Amelia thought to herself being sarcastic while glaring at the duo.

Before the long hug of the duo ended Amelia stormed off going straight to her room loudly stomping on the floor. Childish much?– sorry cant help it.

She heard her father's voice calling after her, bur she managed to charmingly ignore it. Too late dad.

She sighed closing her door, and small smile formed on her face when she saw her stuffs already brought in her room.

The whole day passed in a blur until she decided to go downstairs to have dinner. Molly Weasley was in St. Mungos so ofcourse the dinner must be prepared by Kreacher. She found everyone sitting bored in the living room, everyone except her father.

"Dinner's not ready?" Amelia asked to Hermione ignoring other eyes on her.

"Sirius is making dinner" Hermione replied with slightly pursed lips. Amelia hummed again leaving the room, going to quitely meet her other member of the family. Reaching there she removed veil from the portrait of her lovely grandmother.

"Merry Christmas, grandma!" Amelia sing songed at the scoffing lady. Her eyes brightened up at sight of her granddaughter.

"Amelia! – wait is it Christmas yet?– I dont even realise how many days pass covered in this dirty cloth" Walburga said, Amelia chuckled slightly, sitting in front of the portrait on the floor.

"So whats new?" Walburga asked with her lips slightly tugging upwards.

Amelia let out a small laugh and gave her all the information about everything happening recently in her life.

"And then Mr. Weasley is in hospital now, hope he recovers soon" Amelia finished with a sad sigh. Walburga decided to stay quite, not passing any snarky remarks for the Weasleys knowing her granddaughter wont like it.

"Hmm where's kreacher? tell him to prepare the special christmas feast until you are here" Walburga said changing the topic.

"Okay, I think he mist be in the R.A.B. room, always keeps weeping there" Amelia said and noticed a slight change of expression in her grandmother's change at the mention of the name.

"Who's R.A.B?" Amelia asked in a steady voice, although she knew who he was but wanted to hear it from her. Walburga stayed quite holding a slight pained look.

"My son, died years ago, but never failed to make me proud, he was obedient and respected our culture, unlike your nasty father" Walburga said her tone getting bitter at the end.

"How he died?" Amelia asked raising an eyebrow.

"You see, I do not want to talk about my children's death, they are dead so let them rest in peace" Walburga said calmly trying not to burst out. Amelia blinked understanding and nodded and changed the topic talking about what to do this christmas. Wait— Children!?

Both chatted for a while, Walburga telling what she used to do for christmas, Amelia asking what she would have gifted her if she was not a portrait

"You know If I were not a portrait, anything of this wouldnt be happening, I wouldnt even have met you in person, or even if I did, your name would be different, you would be different,just everything would have been different" Walburga said.

"Oh then what would have been my name then?" Amelia asked amused.

"Something according to our family tradition, every black family member is named after a constellation or star" Walburga said with a small smile. Amelia hummed thinking.

"Hm something like Celeste?– Nah, Adhara?– oh god no, Cressida?– Never, Lyra?– its good isnt it!?" Amelia asked and saw all the color drain out of Walburga's face.

"What!? Tell me is Lyra good or not?" Amelia asked again, but Walburga looked like she was hit with a truck.

"Just go, I'll talk to you later" Walburga breathed out dismissively. Amelia frowned, what happened to her?

"Why?" Amelia asked frowning confused.

"Just go Amelia" Walburga said sternly. Amelia got up pouting and leaving before covering the portrait or her grandmother with the veil. She once again reached to the dinning room to find everyone already sitting on the table and her father happily bringing out food which he prepared.

"No one cared to call me?– How sweet" Amelia smiled seating herself at the chair beside the headchair of the table. Much to her displeasure Harry Potter sat across her. Everyone awkwardly exchanged glances.

"We were about to call you Amelia" Sirius said sweetly smiling at her. Amelia just simply looked away.

"Sirius any news about Mr. Weasley?" Harry asked a bit urgently.

"Not yet, but he is better" Sirius replied sitting at the head of the table between Harry and Amelia. They began eating, chatting with each other, everyone but Amelia.

"So how's your order– I mean Dumbledore's army going on?" Sirius asked.

"It going great!" Harry said happily.

"All thanks to Amelia" Hermione added with a smile. Amelia didnt even bother to look up.

"Really? Amelia you also helped?" Sirius asked with a smile turning to her.

"Didnt your godson not tell you about me?– Oh my bad, I must not be worth being the topic" Amelia replied bitter taunting smile. Sirius's expression fell.

"What's her problem man?" Ron groaned being shot a deadly glare from Amelia.

Sirius mentally noted to talk to her after the dinner alone, there was something he really needed to sort out. As the dinner ended everyone started leaving bidding their good nights, Amelia was the first one to get up but was stopped by her father.

"Make it quick, I need to sleep early" Amelia said in monotone folding her arms. Sirius swore he saw a mini Sev in her. Shrugging that horrifying image away he cleared his throat to begin speaking.

"Amelia I know you are upset with me" Sirius began with a small sad smile.

"Got that right" Amelia cheered flatly. Sirius sighed continuing.

"I know why you are mad at me– It is because of Harry, right?" He asked warily. Amelia gave him a sarcastic smile.

"Thats not because of Potter, dad, its because of you, you are the reason I am mad at you" Amelia said her arms still folded.

"But what did I even do?" He exclaimed, making her annoyed.

"Its more of a fact what your didnt do" Amelia scoffed. He held a confused and hurt expression, Amelia sighed before elaborating.

"All you do is care about Potter dad, not me, all your letters are for him, never for me, he is the most important topic to you, not your own daughter. And you dont even realise!" Amelia finished hotly causing Sirius to look at her in disbelief.

"I never treated you and Harry any differently" Sirius said gaining a dry laugh.

"Yes you did, tell me whole this year how many letters you wrote to me and then to Harry?" She questioned glaring at him, he found himself at loss of words. Amelia shook her head.

"Not being able to send letters doesnt mean I dont care!" He defended himself.

"Then, what is care?– shouting at your daughter, sending her a howler, ignoring her when the lookalike of your dead bestfriend comes into the view– I may be sounding a bitch right now dad, but its truth– He matters to you more than me" She stated angrily, her eyes starting to get moist, while Sirius looked bewildered and helpless not being able to defend himself.

"So if we are done now, I have a very important sleep to attend to" She said huffing , calming her nerves turning around to leave.

Sirius stood their with a sad puppy face, he hated the way how she was sounding so much like her uncle. If only she could have stayed more with moony, than Snivellus, she wouldnt be reacting like this. he had no idea how to deal with a daughter, he never did, he had her for not more than eight to ten months before that tragic night happened– he knew whose help he will be needing for it.

Also he knew he will be having a hard time coping with his own daughter in these holidays.
