AMELIA STARED AT THE TWO PEOPLE WHO STOOD IN FRONT OF HER. A messy haired man with hazel eyes and a red haired woman with bright green eyes. Amelia's stomach dropped.
What. Did. She. Do!?
She recognised them immediately. James and Lily Potter who both seemed to comprehending what was happening, and looked around groggily. Amelia who was a panting mess right now, seeing two dead people come alive, each and every nerve in her body was pounding and threatening to explode.
"How come two people came out?" Estella whispered in disbelief backing away as the two elders confusedly took steps forward. While Amelia stood there frozen, she messed it up.
Amelia's mind was totally blank now. Just a question repeating itself. What did she do? How was this even possible? She didnt know there were any chances of this happening too. She expected her mother to come out but instead there were the potters standing in front of her. Her head spinned really wildly, she could no longer concentrate on the scene in front of her, white patches started forming in her vision, she felt herself go weak.
"AmโAmelia!โ" Estella exclaimed as the girl beside her fell to the ground with a thud.
Everything was going wrong.
***
"I think there is something wrong with the other girl" Remus said deep in thoughts sitting with his best friend.
"I dont know about others, all I know is my daughter's not alright" Sirius said with an exasperated huff.
"Amelia is just angry, dont worry she will be alright in a few days, lets just wait till the war ends" Remus said.
"I cannot wait that long Remus, she wont even listen to me, and besides that we dont know who survives in the war and who not" Sirius said grimly. Remus too fell into thinking.
"I-I dont want to say it like this but i-if any one if us survives we will make sure Amelia gets her family back, and everything she wants, if something happens to meโ" Sirius continued with his slightly shaky voice.
"Dont worry padfoot nothing is going to happen to us, we will all survive, and this time no one will take Amelia away and she will forgive us too" Remus said with a small assuring smile.
Sirius nodded but something in his heart still made him feel unconvinced.
***
"Amelia!โ wake up!" Amelia felt a few droplets of water hit her face with the familiar voice of Estella.
Thank lord I was dreaming.
She started opening her eyes with a small smile until it faltered again and she jerked up sitting straight.
It was not a dream!
James and Lily Potter are sitting right in front of her.
"How is this possible!?โ I-I did not mean toโ I thought my mum!โ" Amelia exclaimed hyperventilating. Estella rubbed her back in attempt to calm her down, but it didnt help.
"Y-You are Padfoot's daughter?" James Potter spoke up after an eternity. While Lily Potter still looked like she was not in her senses. Amelia nodded letting out a shuddered breath and almost crying.
"H-How did you?โ" Lily croaked still not believing anything. Amelia was not in the condition to even say a word, so Estella began with explaining everything warily although she was as disturbed as anyone of them. James and Lily were in pure shock. They were brought back to life by Amelia Black, 'by mistake'.
"And Y-You are Lyra's?" James asked looking at Estella, while she freaked out.
"H-How did youโ I am even wearing contact lenses?" Estella asked anxiously.
A small smile crept on James' face as he began to speak "I can see Lyra in you"
Both the girls exchanged wide eyed glances, everything was so messed up. James turned to Amelia with a little hope in his eyes "T-That night was H-Harry, My son saved?"
Amelia gulped in her dry throat and nodded, James let out a long breath in relief, while a few tears seeped out of Lily's eyes.
"And Padfoot Moony Lyra Sierra where are all of them?" James asked his eyes twinkling with hope and happiness. Amelia felt her stomach drop, she slowly began telling the two elders everything after they died.
"And now Sirius and Remus are in Grimmauld Place, and L-Lyraโ she's dead too, along with my mum" Amelia said briefly exchanging glances with Estella, who slightly nodded as Amelia didnt tell the truth about her mother.
James' face fell, while Lily too stared in horror. Amelia feared that their intense gazes will catch their lies so she instantly changed the topic "Now as we know you are both brought alive by me by mistake, would you like to meet your friends, and your son, Harry?"
James and Lily's face reflected pure bliss on the mention if their son, both nodded, Amelia mentally huffed, everything was still very chaotic. How was she gonna face everyone at home, telling them she brought two dead peope to their lives.
"What is he like? Harry?" Lily asked softly her eyes were still brimming.
"Once we reach there you'll know" Amelia said softly. She did not want to scare them with the depiction of their son just now, when they are brought back to life barely an hour ago.
"Amelia, you know I am your godmother" Lily said suddenly, Amelia still felt sick but smiled. Lily slowly pulled her in a warm embrace "You are do much like Sierra"
Her mother's name made her feel sick again. It all happened because of her mother. She was the one who gave her hope that she can be brought back to life but instead Amelia committed a blunder.
Amelia, Estella, Lily and James all apparated to the Grimmauld place, Amelia's every nerve, step, breath shaking. She was very disturbed with what she has done just an hour ago.
"You go first" Lily said quitely to Ameli and Estella, Amelia nodded but Estella didnt move as she turned fully to the potters.
"There's one thing I'd like to request, please dont tell anyone about me being Lyra's daughter, they dont know yet, and I dont want to uncover now, please understand" Estella almost pleaded, James and Lily frowned but nodded understanding her.
While Amelia took slow steps going inside the house, she still didnt know how she will face everybody. James and Lily stayed out letting both the girls go in. As soon as Amelia came into view of the people in the house she shrank even more.
"What happened Amelia?โ you look pale?" Sirius said cautiously coming forward.
She tried her best to contain her breath, how to tell them? Every one was now staring at her worriedly, her heart was on its own race. She might just die of an heart attack and kill all of them with what she has done today.
"Estella you tell what happened?" Remus asked to Estella, now it was her turn to freak out. Both the girls could not bring words out. Plucking up all the courage Amelia finally tried to speak up but was interrupted by the dior opening behind her loudly as ever. She knew who it was behind her. Kill me already.
She did not turn around and scrunched her eyes tightly shut in frusteration and almost on the verge of breakdown. The dead silence in the room continues for ages, a soft voice of Lily Potter speaks up "H-Hi guys"
"They might be deatheaters in disguise!โ kill them right now!" Sirius roared taking his wand out causing Amelia's eyes to open her eyes in alarm. She cried loudly "They are not disguises, they are REAL"
"What is wrong with your head!" Ron comes out snarling on her, Harry and Hermione follow him too instantly halting on their steps.
Amelia ignored him turning to lock her eyes with her godfather. He stared in her desperate eyes himself going pale "A-Ameliaโ what are you even saying?"
"Oh come off with it Moony!โ Cant you both believe I am back Padfoot!" James exclaimed happily opening his arms. Amelia wanted to bury herself alive.
"What proof do you have?" Remus asked sharply with his wand pointed at the two and pulled Amelia behind him with one hand.
"Look at this foolish old manโ Moony I was the one who found out about your furry little probelm in first place!โ we three had mandrake leaves in our mouth to become animagus for you so that you dont have to deal with the pain alone, we almost killed Snivellus in our sixth yearโ"
James Potter's heated ranting wad cut by Sirius Black lunging forward to bring his best friend in a tight hug, Remus too looked extremely bewildered and pale. "I-It c-cant be trueโ i-its not true right?"
"Harry!" Lily exclaimed seeing her son standing at a distance almost at the end of the room. Harry too looked paralysed. Lily ran towards her son bringing him in a hug, it was not hard for her to recognise the lookalike of her husband.
Amelia's eyes started to sting, why did her life had to be such a mess!? Remus, James and Sirius were all crying Lily crying cluthcing to her son, Amelia felt herself as she couldnt breath. Because she knew after all the overwhelmed meeting everyone will turn to her for an answer.
"B-But How did this happenโ" Sirius asked pulling away from James tears streaming down his face. James interrupted answering his question "Your daughter Padfootโ she's amazingโ she did this!"
Amelia could hear suddenly her heart stop and a loud 'beep' ring within her. She took a few deep calming breaths because by now all the curious intense gazed were concentrated on her. She gulped in her arid throat before beginning to speak.
"I-I seriously dont know how did this h-happen" She said in a shuddering tone and paused to compose herself again. "Estella f-found the ressurrection stone somewhere, and then when we were at Godric's hollow in the graveyardโ and I read something in latin and it happenedโ please dont ask me anything I cant answer any of your questions"
She finished with her lips trembling wildly, everyone stared at her wide eyed, she was trying was hard to not breakdown. She gulped again before speaking and tears pooling her eyes "Arent you all happy, t-they are back?"
Everyone still stayed silent, she could not bear it anymore and ran straight to her room, with Estella following immediately after, she collapsed on her bed pulling the covers over her head, she ignored whatever Estella was saying to her, and finally let the pillow soak her tears.
The whole day and night she didnt leave her room. She didnt want to know what was going on downstairs, she was too tired of the heavy drama, it felt so unreal, finally after two days break she had to go down, as Lily Potter kept caling from outside her door.
"Amelia come here" Remus said sternly as she came into view appearing very weak, everyone frowned. What happened? She slowly obliged and went with him yo wherever he was taking her.
"I am sorry, I dont know why I am sorry, but I am, I was naive and stupidโ" She said croaking weakly not meeting his eyes but he interrupted her by stepping forward bringing her in a warm hug causing her to melt down, she desperately needed someone to comfort her.
"Its alrightโ I know its just unbelievable but no one is mad at youโ why would you even think thatโ and if you dont know yet I am so glad that you are back" Remus said still hugging her. She shut her eyes tightly,
Thats enough if crying Amelia! She scolded herself.
"You are the only one who ever said that to me ever since I returned" Amelia said letting out a teary chuckle pulling away. But Remus didnt find that funny instead he gave her a disappointed look causing her smile to fade.
"Everyone in the house is equally happy with your return Amelia but you are the one who keeps pushing people away" Remus said in a pained voice, she looked away not replying.
Both Amelia and Remus wete interrupted by Estella suddenly barging in the room she halted wide eyed "Oh sorryโ did I interrupt you guys?"
"Noโ just important father daughter talks" Remus said with slight playfulness in his tone, causing Amelia to roll her eyes while smiling but she stopped seeing Estella's pursed face.
Amelia shook her head telling Remus she is hungry and three of them went outside having lunch together, Harry was talking about going back to school soon the war was at large. Everyone talked about the approaching major danger.
While Amelia couldnt help but stare at Tonks' big baby bump, she had sometimes secretly seen Tonks' letting Ginny feel the baby's kick, she too wanted to feel it, but she never got the time to meet her in alone.
A few days later she found Tonks sitting alone in her room maybe she woke up from a nap recently, Amelia made her way in, as the room was always left unlocked because of her condition. "Hey Dora!"
Tonks grinned up at her, seeing her bright smile a pleasant feeling filled Amelia's heart, she plopped herself on the armchair in front of her and said with feigned madness "I mad at you"
"Why!? What did I do?" Tonks played along.
"You dated my godfather for a year, married him, and now you have a mini Remus or yourself within youโ and you are asking me what you did!?"
"My apologies"
"I will name him!" Amelia claimed.
"Him?โ what if its a her?"
"Nah I know its a him"
"Whatever you are fine withโ Ow" Tonks suddenly yelped causing Amelia to rush towards her concerned.
"What happened? St Mungos!?โ Remus!โ is it coming outโ" Amelia ranted panicked.
"Shut upโ just the little footballer, showing his skills" Tonks said waving her off, Amelia huffed in relief, suddenly her eyes twinkled which Tonks read effortlessly, and held her hand placing it on her bump.
"Wait a secondโ another punch just be on its way- Here!" Tonks and Amelia cheered on feeling a kick/punch.
"Tonks why are you yelliโ oh" Remus asked coming in and saw his goddaughter and wife together, a smile crept on his face. He asked both the girls to join everyone for lunch.
Going to the dining room, Amelia saw everyone was already settled, she raised an amused eyebrow seeing Estella and James getting really friendly. After having lunch together as everyone started getting up, James, Sirius, and Remus sat together on the couch in living room talking to themselves, while Lily couldnt get enough of her son, he soon was going to leave for hogwarts.
Estella and George were talking to themselves really loudly, more like flirting, slightly irritated by her loudness Remus whispered to his friends grumpily "How long is she going to stay here?"
"Oh let it be Moony, she has nowhere to go, she came from America" James said acting casual.
"But still, we dont even know her full nameโ we dont even know if we can trust her with everything going on" Sirius said in suspicion.
"Oh she is no harmโ she is Amelia's friend we can trust Estella" James said trying to convince them.
"Amelia is just a kidโ she has no idea about the dangers out there" Sirius hissed lightly.
"Also that girl really suspicious, whenever I try to talk to her simply she just excuses herself, as if she is hiding something, I think we should tell her to leave this house as soon as possible" Remus said warily. James was growing infuriated by how his bestfriends were talking about the girl.
"Also lets not forget she stole the resurrection stone, I dont think she is trustable from any angleโ"
"THATS ENOUGH PADFOOT THATS MOONY AND LYRA'S DAUGHTER YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!"
Great the whole house heard!
