AMELIA RETURNED BACK HOME.

These four simple words caused a thunder strike at each and every person present in that house. George Weasley was the one who yelled informing everyone of her return, and everyone who rushed out of their rooms stopped dead on their spots frozen.

While Amelia stood in the other side with her loudly thumping heart seeing all those faces again, George, Molly, Remus and Tonks who had a big baby bump, Remus was cutting apples for her but now both stared at the newest member in extreme horror.

The only sound that ever echoed in those long passing moments eas the twitching if doorknob as someone entered, slightly turning around Amelia saw it was Fred, who now looked pale as a ghost.

Amelia who also stood on her slightly shaking legs watching the faces of every person in the room with her tear blurred vision, her throat extremely dry to even say Hi. She could not comprehend what to do who to run to and hug the life out of them. Thankfully the dead silence was broken by Estella, who herself was anxious seeing a couple sitting in front of her.

"Is this how people welcome their family members in England?" Estella asked loudly. Remus was the first one to stand up coming out of his trance causing a slight chill to run down Estella's spine, he was approaching the two girls. Amelia did not waste a milisecond in running towards her godfather engulfing him in a big tight hug. She could not hold herself any longer as she burst into tears.

"I-I missed you Remus– I missed everyone– I cant believe I am back– I hate you all!" Amelia sobbed loudly burying herself in her godfather's chest, she didnt care who thought what about her at this moment, all she knew that she was back home.

Remus who had her picked up slightly hugging tightly was sobbing himself not believing any bit of what was happening right now. He kept muttering apologies while sobbing not letting her go. But the girl standing in background who was as pale as anybody in the room pulled her sunglasses on hiding her tears.

"Amelia you shouldn't be here– its not safe–" Remus' sob was cut by his god daughter harshly. 

"Thats my choice Remus, even though I missed you all and shit, but you dont get to decide what I do in my life– I wanted to come back so I did– and also dont think you are all forgiven or will be in future– my return has some other purpose" Amelia said after pulling away, her cold tone and a mix of American accent, startled everyone even more.

America changed Amelia.

"Amelia why are you speaking like this" Remus croaked in a little pained voice.

"Like what? Like I know you all much better now?– I dont know– but let me tell one thing– everything here has been happening wrong since start, each and every single thing– you all put your faith in the wrong peron and now everyone is suffering" Amelia said hotly. Everyone stared at her wide eyed.

"That man– Dumbledore– he fooled all of you, and you still dont have any idea about it– do you even know Remus what he did with you, he took your own–"

"Thats enough Amelia!" Estella interrupted dragging Amelia out of the room in hurry and locked the door leaving everyone perplexed inside.

"What were you doing!? You cannot tell them everything" Estella whisper hissed.

"What do you mean? Are you not mad at what Dumbledore did? Do you not want your own father to know about you?" Amelia asked in the same tone.

"I want.. but just not now... H-His wife was there and she is p-pregnent– I cant do this to them– not right now–"

"You are being silly Stella!– its your family- our family— oh lord let me tell you Tonks, your father's wife is our second cousin" Amelia said gulping causing Estella to stare at her like she has seen a ghost.

"W-What?– What is all this?– My head!" Estella exclaimed clutching to her head that information was more than enough to make her faint. Amelia too felt sorry and bad for whatever the hell was gonna happen in future.

"You are not telling anyone about me!– we will do it when I am ready, okay?" Estella asked in a firm tone, Amelia nodded frowning anxiously.

"Lets go back inside–" Amelia said but was cut by another familiar voice causing her legs to freeze on spot.

"Who are you two?" Both the girls who had their backs facing the person turned around, Amelia with her wildly drumming heart recognised the voice and instantly tears again finding their way back to her eyes.

Sirius Black stood there.

"A-Ame–" He couldnt even complete cracking a word out, his mouth parted in disbelief, seeing his daughter standing in front of him after two years of no contact at all.

Despite the happiness of reconciling with her family again after two years Amelia felt rage rush through her whole body. That rage had been building up ever since, it never settled down. There stood her father, Sirius Black, who once promised her that he won't let her go anywhere ever now, he said he desperately wanted a chance to make his relationship better with his daughter. But he didnt.

He let her go. He did not try to stop her. He did not even try to contact her once in those two years. He broke his every promise. Amelia felt herself like a fool who forgave him in the first place after he pleaded for forgiveness, she forgave him even after he chose Harry over her, she knew she was his second choice and yet she forgave him. She was mad at herself for this.

"Hello Mr. Black, I am back" She said with the bitterest smile possible. Sirius who seemed like he could not breath felt all his veins filled with hurt that was caused by his daughter's stinging bitter words.

"He is your father?" Estella whispered to Amelia wide eyed.

"He was" Amelia corrected not breaking her cold eye contact with the wizard standing in front of her. "He gave up being my father some sixteen years ago"

Letting out a shuddering breath Sirius took a step forward but was cut by his daughter taking several steps back, "Dont come near Mr. Black, I know you like me better far away from you"

"Amelia– dont say like that–" Sirius finally managed to croak out but was cut again.

"How's your son? Must have gotten a lot of time to spend with him right?– No disturbance, No Amelia– I am glad for you–"

Sirius was now too overwhelmed to stay frozen there just took large steps forward pulling his daughter in his embrace before she could back up, tears streaming down his face.

"You dont know anything– you dont even know a bit of it– how much I missed you– how much I fought to bring you back– " He sobbed ignoring her attempts to fight his grip, she clenched her jaw furious tears clouding her vision, before coming here she promised to herself, no forgiving anyone, no going weak now.

"Leave me!" She sneered pushing him back furiously. Breathing heavily due to the instant boil in her blood. "Dont come near me!"

"Amelia!– atleast let me say– I am not at fault–"

"I DONT CARE!– JUST STAY AWAY FROM ME– I DID NOT COME ALL THE WAY FROM AMERICA FOR YOU!"

By now everyone gathered outside due to the loud yelling and screaming. Remus being the only courageous one dared to step in front of his roaring goddaughter defending his best friend. "Amelia calm down–"

"Yes, I need to rest, come Estella" Amelia huffed hotly grabbing Estella's hand pulling her to her room, she was sure her room must be the same as always, all thanks to Kreacher.

"I never saw this side of you" Estella breathed out impressed once they reached the room.

"I dont know it just came out, and I still dont feel calm, one more person is left, but we'll deal with him later, right now we need to think about you" Amelia said urgently.

"Dont worry, there's nothing about me– you tell me who all those people were" Estella said pulling her to sit on the bed. Amelia exhaled before speaking.

"You know Sirius Black, and Remus and Tonks, those two similar red heads were Fred and George,– George was the one who yelled when we entered–"

"The handsome one" Estella said with a grin. Amelia raised her eyebrows in amusement.

"They both literally look the same" Amelia said bemused.

"Nah, he was better looking one, the other one looked like he had a heart attack seeing you– continue who were others?" Estella asked.

"Then the older woman was Molly Weasley, mother of all the redheads present in this house, she is a sweet woman overall, then the other ginger girl was Ginny, youngest Weasley"

"And who the hell is Kreacher– what I gathered from you, he is really nice and the only person you love in this house"

"Er Kreacher's not a person– come lets show you" Amelia said with a small smile going towards the door and opening it a little. "Kreacher!"

Not even a minute passed when the elf appeared in front of her with a pop he widened his bug eyes seeing her and instantly breaking into tears, Amelia too let out a teary chuckle pulling Kreacher inside the room. While Estella watched everything impressed.

"Mistress has returned!– after two years– Everyone in the Noble house of Black missed mistress so much–" Kreacher cried out loudly, Amelia frowned on his words.

"What are you saying Kreacher– I know no one missed me" Amelia said a bit harshly. But sighed crouching down in front of the elf who did not stop weeping.

"What all happened while I was not here Kreacher" She asked softly.

Kreacher depicted her everything that happened while she was not here, he told her that Harry and his friends were currently searching for the last horcrux, while the order members killed as much as deatheaters they could, Amelia's stomach dropped when Kreacher told her that Draco too became a deatheater. Apart from all this he told how bad Remus and Sirius used to argue after Amelia left, they got into fights too several times. Amelia was least interested to know about their fights.

"Kreacher I have someone you'd like to meet" Amelia said softly as Kreacher finished depicting. An excited Estella already came forward holding her hand out for the elf with a bright smile.

"Hi Kreacher I am Estella your new friend, nice to meet you" Estella said brightly while the elf stared her slightly horrified and perplexed. Amelia could sense what he was thinking because if his big wide eyes.

"Who was Lyra Kreacher?" Amelia asked as the elf was too pale to greet Estella because of her familiar appearance. Elfs have a sixth sense to know about a person's blood.

Kreacher widened his eyes even more at the question, he was internally freaking out and Amelia could see it. "I already know Kreacher just tell me, why does Lyra's name wont show up in the family tree?"

Kreacher was still taking too long to answer but Amelia gave him the look and he finally had to speak up. "After M-Master Regulus died, Mistress and Mistress Lyra defied each other, Mistress Lyra left the house and Kreacher's Mistress was devastated and concealed Mistress Lyra's name on the wall of Black Family Tree, saying no one will ever know about her"

Kreacher finished with heavy tears again pooling in his eyes. Amelia furrowed her eyebrows sadly exchanging weary glances with Estella. Kreacher left after that, with happiness of Amelia's return clear on his face.

By the evening Amelia and Estella stayed in the room not going out st all. Both the girls didnt want face anyone in the house, specifically thier fathers.

But at the end they both had to go down for the dinner, Estella claiming she was in for a little bit of drama, Amelia couldnt say no, they both went down gaining everyone's undivided attention. Estella wore contact lenses to hide her grey eyes which were awfully similar to Amelia and Sirius'.

Molly was the only one who pulled both the girls warmly to the dinner table, both of them sitting totally away from everyone. Sirius and Remus who looked too tired and dreadful too joined all of them. As all the seats were occupied in the front of lane of table, Remus had to sit beside Estella causing her to internally freak out, Sirius sat beside Remus, Amelia was thankful he was not in the view at all.

Everyone at silently, Amelia knew it was all a part of their plan to not speak or something, she caught Fred staring at her multiple times, but she would only pass him a blank glance.

No one noticed in the thick tensioned room that Estella playfully winked at George, and now he was passing her flirting glances. Amelia saw his one year was missing and mentally noted to ask about that later.

After the dinner ended as everyone slowly started scurrying off to their rooms there was a series of loud knocks on the door almost breaking it, Kreacher opened the door and everyone waited to see eho was there.

Harry, Ron and Hermione came running inside.

Everyone stared at their weary condition with their mouth parted but Ginny was the one was broke the trance by running straight and engulfing Harry in a hug "Harry!"

But Harry's green eyes were fixated on the black haired girl standing at a distance from him. Amelia Black, he didnt had the idea that he will see her, after two long hard years.

"Let's go Estella, I am not in the mood of more drama" Amelia said dryly turning to Estella, she started moving passing by the trio maintaining the cold eye contact with the chosen one, while his eyes remained unreadably stuck with hers.

Laying on her bed after switching off the lights, Amelia fell asleep not letting any thought invade her mind.

The next morning felt even more worse, having three more irritating people in the house, they all kept ranting about the seventh horcrux in which Amelia remained uninterested but Estella was the one who was very keenly eavesdropping to all their talks.

By the afternoon Amelia stayed in her room Kreacher brought her food as she did not want to step outside and face all of them, suddenly Estella came running to her breathing heavily.

"Amelia what is Godric's hollow?" Estella asked, Amelia frowned. Why was she suddenly asking about it.

"I-Its a place, I remember Potter's died there" Amelia said still confused.

"Can we go there?" Estella asked urgently. Amelia frowned even more not understanding the reason, Estella urged her to the point that she finally had to agree.

Amelia stood up dressing in front of the mirror and suddenly a sickly feeling invading her heart as her eyes fell on the necklace, she still wore, which earlier belonged to her mother.

Something sick and strange popped in her mind, she told Estella that they will go to Godric's hollow but before that they will go to the forest where the hogwarts trip went in third year. She had something waiting for her there.

"Where are you two going?" Remus asked as both the dressed up girls descended the stairs. Estella hid behind Amelia not fully coming in view. Amelia hated to act this way but raised an eyebrow at her godfather.

"We'll be back in an hour" She said not wanting to sound rude. Remus pursed his lips he was not in the condition to say anything.

His eyes fell on the girl in background who was acting a lot wierd, she would hide or go away from him, they all dont even know her full name for crying out loud, but what caused Remus' breath to hitch was when he saw light scars running down her face.

"Remus I am afraid we are running late" Amelia said flatly, furrowing his eyebrows Remus stepped aside making way for the girls. The other girl almost tripped when passed by him.

After stepping out if the house both the girls quickly apparated to the forest and Amelia led Estella to a particular place in it, only stopping when they found the tree, which had half blood princess carved on it.

"Something's must be here, search" Amelia said searching around, A confused Estella too started searching.

"What exactly are we searching for?" Estella asked irritated searching in the dirty bushes.

"My Mum– she hid something here for me– she said it was something important" Amelia said anxiously.

"Then dig the ground darling, thats where people hide things" Estella said rolling her eyes and already started digging the ground below the spooky tree.

Not thinking much Amelia too followed her, both girls kept digging until a box came to surface, Amelia widened her eyes, what if this was the thing her mother was talking about years ago, saying she could come back.

"See" Estella grinned. Amelia opened the dirty box to find a book in it, which too had half blood princess written on it. Amelia rummaged through the pages not understanding a word, whole language was different.

"Oh show me– Its Latin!– I know Latin– was your mum a teacher?– it has chapters– horcruxes, resurrection– wait what is this I have something like this" Estella said handing her the book back and digging something from her pocket, Amelia frowned and saw Estella was talking about the resurrection chapter.

Amelia widened her eyes when Estella dig out the resurrection stone from her pocket, the same as it was shown in the book. "WHERE DID YOU GET IT!?"

"Uh– last night when those three new people's came and everyone was discussing something– you were asleep and I went out– By mistake I went to their room and found this therr– it looked nice so... I took it" Estella finished sheepishly, while Amelia stared at her wide eyed.

"I dont have words" Amelia muttered traumatically. Estella took the book from her and started translating what everything in it meant, the meaning was more dreadful.

After knowing the meaning of it, now Amelia understood how her mother would have tried telling her that she can come back. A pleasant feeling filled Amelia's heart. She could have her mother back now too!

Excitedly Amelia and Estella went to Godric's hollow, knowing there was the grave of her mother. And they found it too beside Lily and James Potter, Amelia saw someone recently visited her mother's grave alongwith the Potters and dropped flowers on it.

"I think you need to recite this whole thing, if you are really going to do it" Estella said indicating to the para in different language, she herself was worried what was gonna happen, but supported Amelia nevertheless.

Amelia firstly placed the resurrection stone on her mother's grave and took the book and started reciting it, in the first try it didnt happen, not in the second try too, she recited the para again and again. Estella stopped her picking up the stone and said they both should hold it together.

Amelia did so and this time Estella too started reciting the para along with her, suddenly the stone in their hands started glowing brightly, both widened there eyes as it was working, storms started hitting them coming out of nowhere, everything became silent and a bright beam of light stricked making it impossible to see.

But Amelia could see a figure was arising, chills ran down her spine, her heart was drumming wildly, she never did this kind of wild magic and now it was working. Due to the bright light the figure could not be seen clearly.

Her heart beat stopped when she saw another figure rise too.
