"Sirius she is gone" Hermione said with tears streaming down her face to the man who had a fragile body clutched to himself crying in agony.

"No no no.. A-Amelia w-wake upโ€“ c-come backโ€“" Sirius Black sobbed desperately clutching to the cold and pale white body of his daughter.

Remus Lupin, who stayed collapsed in front of Amelia's feet had no single word coming out of his dry throat, he just stared the girl, who was his goddaughter, whom he raised since she was barely a year old, who was like his own daughter to him, who now was not moving at all.

Remus I wont let you go, even if you want to.

Her words rang in his mind which she said not more than a couple of months ago. She promised she will not let him go anywhere, but now he was left with a question. What if she goes herself?

Because she did.

"Re-Remus, Remusโ€“ A-Amelia is gone" Tonks sobbed shakily placing a hand on his shoulder. He didnt stir or move just stared at her as if she will once again wake up and call him 'Moony' and make silly jokes about his 'furry little problem'.

He waited for her to jolt up and start complaining about how Sev bored her all day, or she wants him to make her favourite food. But she just calmly layed there, eyes closed, her chest not falling or rising, her skin looking as pale as all the blood drained out of her body.

While her own father cried his heart out not letting his daughter go, pushing everyone away from him who tried to pull him apart from his daughter. Shaking her, calling her, screaming in hope maybe she will open her eyes again and fight with him, yell at him for choosing Harry, but she looked as calm as ever.

***

"CRUCIO" Harry Potter yelled at the other side of the room covered in tears,  making the wicked witch dressed in black scream in pain.

"CRUCIO! CRUCIO! CRUCIO!" The loud shrieks of the woman filled the place, as Harry Potter mercilessly kept yelling the curse at her. The image of Amelia Black taking the green light on herself, gasping for air, collapsing on the ground, and slowly closing her eyes going all silent, kept playing in his mind.

***

"We shall take the body to the headquaters" Mad Eye Moody said quietely watching all the devastated people. "Sirius! Leave her! Whats done is doneโ€“ the body shall be removedโ€“"

"SHUT UP" Both Sirius and Remus roared making the man flinch back in fear.

"A-Amelia you cannot go like thisโ€“ wake up!" Remus yelled at his goddaughter tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Sirius Black" No one heard a gasp other than a few aurors and saw The Minister standing there bewildered, his eyes trained on the man with curly shoulder length hair, who was crying mercilessly at his unmoving daughter.

Harry Potter made his way to the place back with Dumbledore, tiredly watching the scene in front of them.

"Harry!" Hermione and Ron rushed towards him, engulfing him in a tight hug. Hermione's hysterical tears dampening his shirt, Harry's eyes fell on the girl who layed on floor, unmoving.

"Amelia" he breathed out with a tear rolling down his cheek and ran towards his godfather falling on his knees beside him.

"Sirius!" Harry cried to his godfather pulling him in a tight hug and heard him sobbing against him. "M-My Daughter, A-Amelia, she died because of m-me, she died saving meโ€“ I could not even apologize to her- she hated me- and I-I deserved it Harry, I could not treat her properly, I could not give her the best, I could not be the father she wanted me to be, S-Sierra will never forgive me"

"Sirius- I am sorry" Harry said sobbing on his godfather's shoulder letting tears fall from his eyes.

"Make way"

Everyone turned to the hoarse voice of the headmaster of hogwarts. Dumbledore eyed the unmoving bady of Amelia Black warily. Gulping and stepping forward he indicated Sirius to step aside and took out his wand pointing at the body laying on floor.

"What are you doing Dumbledoreโ€“" Mad Eye Moody exclaimed gruffly.

"Mad-eye please wait" Dumbledore silenced him raising his hand, his eyes trained on the emerald stone handing loosely in her neck.

"She is hit with the killing curse!โ€“" Mad Eye exclaimed again but was cut by Dumbledore screaming the curse.

***

"You faught bravely Amelia, I am proud of you, I wish I could meet you again, but I guess its not in my fate, shine bright as ever my little star, you will do all the right things, I love you"

Only and only bright white light could be seen and Sierra's voice rang in a soft aching tone. Amelia's breath hitched looking around she saw she was in a large white room all alone, her mother could not be seen anywhere, just whiteness.

"Mum! Where are you? What happened?" Amelia called looking around worriedly and her voice echoed in the room.

"Mum!? Is anyone here? Hello?" Amelia yelled with more desperation but no reply came. She wanted to know what her mother meant by the last thing she said right now, and first of all where she was.

"Where am I? Am Iโ€“ Am I dead?" Amelia whispered to herself in disbelief looking around the peaceful place.

"MOM WHERE ARE YOU? I AM STUCK! PLEASE SAY SOMETHING!" She yelled on the top of her lungs, but still no reply came. She fell on knees, collapsing on the ground breaking into frusterated tears.

"Pleaseโ€“ someone say somethingโ€“ where am I?" She sobbed desperately looking around. The last thing she remembered was she pushed her father out of the way and greeted the green stream of light.

"I-I am De-Dead! N-No! Mum! Where are you? Please someone say something!" She cried loudly. Suddenly she started hearing whispers and murmers and cries.

"You are wasting time, she is gone" Amelia's head jolted up, she recognised the voice. It was Mad Eye.

"L-Let him try" More tears arised in her eyes, this was Remus' painful voice.

"Remus! I am here! Where are you! I cant see you! Remus!" She cried as loud as possible.

"Maybe this was a misunderstanding, she indeed is no more" This was Dumbledore's defeated voice.

"No- I am not deadโ€“ No I dont knowโ€“ someone do somethingโ€“ I can hear you all!" She cried standing up on her feet, looking around if anything was there, but except pure whiteness there was nothing in the room.

"Mom! Remus! Someone save me.. I am here.. Please" she sobbed desperately not knowing what to do being stuck at this place.

***

"If there is a way Dumbledore then you have to do it" Sirius Black snarled stepping forward dangerously in front of the headmaster. While Remus Lupin held his goddaughter with tears streaming down his face.

"I can believe they are saying she is not dead, Look at her!" Ron whispered to his friends wiping his moist eyes gesturing to the girl laying on floor, who had now become totally white.

"Its all my fault" Harry whispered hoarsely watching the scene in front of him devastated, his eyes were dried out by this moment.

"What are you saying Harry?" Ginny said in a quite tone frowning. The red head too feared how will her mum react to this information, who saw her like her second daughter.

"I-I was the one who had the wrong vision, she warned us many times to go back, but I-I didnt listen a-and now look what happened" Harry finished as his lips started quivering again.

"Amelia.. Wake up" Remus whispered in a raspy voice with tears pooling in his eyes, wiping the strands of hair from her forehead, her head resting in his lap.

"If she would have died than she should have fallen in the curtain but she did not.. there must be some way!" Dumbledore said falling into thinking. His breath hitched as he remembered something. He turned back to the girl hastily pointing his wand to her temple muttering something under his breath.

"All this is nonsense! You are fooling with us Dumbledore! You can never save anyone's life. Never!" Sirius yelled furiosuly before storming out of the room not being able to contain himself. His mind kept drifting to his daughter and wife. He lost them both. He could not do anything to save them.

"This is the last try, and if nothing happens, then.." Dumbledore said looking at everyone, kneeling down beside Amelia's head. He pressed the wand to her temple harsh enough to draw blood and kept muttering spells mercilessly.

"No! What are you doing!? Stop!โ€“ It hurts" Amelia yelped loudly in pain still in the whole white room, suddenly started feeling immense pain which came out of nowhere her head felt like it was going to burst.

She cried for several minutes in pain until it came to a halt and she was a panting mess alone in the white room.
Her eyes started closing as she layed on the floor tired. Raspy croaks leaving her throat.

"Sirius you cant do this, people still think you are an escaped murderer" Tonks said quitely leading Sirius Black in back, who stormed out a few minutes ago helpless.

While Remus Lupin just held his goddaughter, the flow of his tears never stopping, the minister and Dumbledore talked in worried hushed whispers for the while.

The unmoving cold body of Amelia Black was now to be removed as the aurors talked. While Remus Lupin's tears fell on her continuously, he desperately waited for her to wake up and hug him and everything to become normal back again.

The quite children turned to Harry Potter who just gasped loudly, his eyes never leaving Amelia Black. "What happened Harry?"

"I-I thoughtโ€“ I saw her f-fingers move" Harry said in a whisper his eyes almost bulging out. Everyone exchanged worried glances, Harry was not in the best condition either.

"Harry you need rest" Hermione said letting out a shuddered breath, she had her back facing Amelia all the time, she just couldnt bare the sight of her like this.

"Noโ€“ she really.." Harry said more to himself, shaking his head, he rushed to sit beside Remus, who was tired yet not stopping himself from pouring out tears. Harry's hand trembled as he reached out to hold the cold hand of Amelia Black.

He gulped slowly picking it up with his shaking hand. His heart doing its own rapid drumming. His breathing stopped when he felt sudden warmth in her palm. A different unexplainable feeling arising in his heart he couldnt comprehend. "R-Remus"

Remus looked up at the boy and saw a mixture of reactions on his face, he saw his goddaughter's hand held in his, he frowned looking at her face, it was not as white as it was just a minute ago. It looked like as the blood was coming back to its place, spreading in her whole body.

"Dumbledore!" Remus yelled wide eyed calling the old wizard who rushed towards him at his urgent tone and nearly gasped on seeing the girl.

"Ms. Black, yes, wake up" Dumbledore whispered kneeling down, everyone gathered behind the old man confused and startled on what was happening.

Sudden warmth and pleasant feeling filling Remus' heart, he cupped his goddaughter's face his heart drumming wildly, he swallowed down a lump in his throat staring at her.

Everyone's eyes widened as they saw a slight movement in her throat as if she was gulping. Sirius Black pushed everyone away collapsing in front of his daughter, wide eyed.  His hands shaking wildly, his heart doing its own marathon. He could not believe his eyes.

"Is sheโ€“ is she?" Remus managed to croak out wide eyed, the adrenaline rush was enough to make him pass out. Everyone gasped loudly as a low groan escaped Amelia's throat, her chest started falling and rising again.

"Amelia! Amelia! Yes wake up!" Remus yelled cupping her face his tears now turned to happy cries.

Suddenly Amelia jolted up wide eyed gasping for air as loudly as ever. Everyone stepped back in fear not believing what they were seeing. Several gasps, shrieks, screams filled the place. Their voices and words caught in their throat.

She looked around her breathing heavy, everyone covered in tears scared and bewildered. Dumbledore stepped forward kneeling in front of  the shocked girl gaining her attention.

"Ms. Black?" Dumbledore whispered looking in her wide eyes, she couldnt bring a word out of her dried throat.

"I require a moment alone with Ms. Black" Dumbledore said in a dismissive firm tone everyone stepped away in bewilderement, still staring at the girl who was pale white and layed unmoved just a few moments ago and now looked as alive as ever.

"You are alive" Dumbledore said himself bewildered but his eyes fell on the necklace in her neck and spoke. "You are saved by this, your life was saved by sacrificing another life"

Amelia's stomach dropped at the words of the man. Another life? This necklace? She knew her mother resided in this necklace and..

"What? Noโ€“ this is my- myโ€“" She couldnt bring the words out as the tears started falling already.

"Your mother's. And you hid a secret from everyone, if I am correct, you were in touch with your mother, Sierra, since a very long time" Dumbledore said. Amelia's head started spinning.

"My mumโ€“ she saidโ€“ she is not dead, she said she is partly dead, andโ€“ and she knew everything alreadyโ€“ she warned me everytime something bad was going to happen, she was the one who warned me when C-Cedric was going for the third task" Amelia finished with a glare aimed at the headmaster.

"But now can she talk to you?" Dumbledore asked ignoring her previous statement.

"It isnt in my control, whenever she wants to talk to me she calls me in sleep" Amelia hissed, feeling warmth in her whole body.

"She will not be able to talk to you now" Dumbledore said. Amelia stared at him.

"What are you sayiโ€“" Amelia hissed.

"The other part of her soul is dead too, it was killed when you jumped in front of your father saving him, and the curse hit you necklace where the soul of your mother was trapped, but its not there anymore" Dumbledore explained.

"T-that means now I-I will not meet her a-again, ever?" Amelia asked in disbelieve. Dumbledore gave a simple nod. A tight knot formed in her chest.

"No.. no.. Mum! Say something! Sheโ€“ she will say something you just seeโ€“ Mum!" Amelia yelled holding up the pendant in front of her tears pooling in her eyes, hands shaking. Everyone watched the scene from far away confused and still shocked from the last incident.

"Mum! Say something PLEASE!" She cried desperately clutching to the emerald ruby. Everyone rushed towards her, Remus was the first one to pull her in a tight hug.

"Amelia! You scared me" He whispered closing his eyes holding her against him tightly, while she sobbed. "Remusโ€“ Mum- she isnt saying anythingโ€“ Mum!"

Sirius Black watched his daughter with a frown and uneasy feeling wanting to pull her in a tight embrace, but her godfather was not letting her go.

"Its better if you all take Ms. Black to Grimmauld Place" Dumbledore said standing up and after disapparated away. While everyone started at the sobbing girl.

"What happened Amelia?" Remus said pulling away wiping his tears before wiping hers.

"We should take her home first, come Amelia" Sirius said with a small teary smile reaching out to support her up.

"No!โ€“ Remus I dont want to go there" Amelia cried turning to hug her godfather yanking herself away from Sirius causing a deep hurt look to strike her face.

"Okay we will take you to spinner's end" Remus said putting up a smile placing a hand on her cheek. She nodded but the tears were still flowing out.

"I think it will be better if we take her to Grimmauld Place" Harry Potter's voice caused her to turn to him. Making an eye contact he held a smile smile aimed at her. Letting out a hot shuddering breath she detached herself from her godfather slowly approaching the golden boy.

"I am glad Amelia you are fineโ€“" Harry potter said with a smile at the approaching girl but cut by a harsh smack across his face from her. Everyone gasped loudly.

"Amelia!" Sirius exclaimed and regretted getting a harsh glare from her but she turned back to the chosen one who held his red stinging cheek.

"I hate you. I hate you with every cell in my body. You are reason your own godfather was going to die. You are the reason I was in that situation. You are the reason that I lost my mother again!" She said in the most bitter tone possible, her eyes bloodshot filled with rage. Harry looked at her with a hurt frowning look.

"I wish you died in her place" She said through gritted teeth poking in his chest harshly glaring in his hurt eyes.

"Amelia that's enough we are going home" Remus said pulling her away from the boy.

"I will not go to Grimmauld Place, that's not my home" Amelia said meeting her furious eyes with her father. Remus sighed before nodding gaining perplexed looked from everyone and pulling Amelia to the fireplace with him and grabbing a handful of the floor powder.

"GRIMMAULD PLACE"
