A/n I own nothing and everything except for my OC belongs to the wonderful J.K. Rowling
Amelia Grey looked around the barren room. There wasn't anything to ever show that anybody had ever occupied it. The bed had been stripped of its sheets and the room was perfectly clean. It was almost as if the room was waiting for its next occupant before it's current one had even left. With a heavy sigh, Amelia turned and left the room. She walked down the long hallway, knowing that she would not be returning to this place for a while. As she reached a room at the end of the hallway, she looked at the fireplace in the room. That was not all that was in the room. There was a large red chair next to the dusty fireplace. In that chair sat an old man with a very long gray beard. He was looking at an old painting on the wall. It was of a ship sailing an ocean that was as blue as the sky above it. He then turned and looked at the girl.
"Hello Amelia. Are you ready to leave?"
She looked at him and nodded once. You see, Amelia didn't speak. To anyone. Ever. She had never once spoken a single word to anybody as far as anybody ever knew. She was mute. She used to babble and make noises when her parents were still alive, but that was a long time ago. Amelia was silent at all times of the day and all through the night.
The old man then held out his arm for her to grasp hold of. She gently laid her small hand on his arm and with a small pop, the two dissapeared. Somewhere far away, they appeared at an old building, This was a very famous building for reasons unknown to Amelia. The old man looked at her and said, "Will you be all right for know? You have your money and everything?"
Ameilia looked at him and nodded once. She stared into his electric blue eyes and he looked at her grey eyes, so full of pain and wisdom that a young woman should not have. She gave him a look, and with that, the man was gone. She turned around and looked at the opposite side of the room. She looked past all of the people and tables and walked towards a door. She then went outside and stared at a large brick wall. She then tapped a certain brick with her wand. The bricks then started to move and a hole appeared. It then staretched until it could have fit a horse theough. She stared straight through it, not at all interested in the wall, but what was on the other side of it. She calmly stepped through it.
All around her was a magical world that never failed to amaze her. She looked around at all of the shops and the people in their colorful robes and hats. She smiled a rare smile. She searched through her bag and pulled out her list of school supplies. She then looked up and started her search for her supplies. She bought all of her supplies and she decided to go to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. She bought a tasty treat and sat down at a table to read one of her new books. She was deep in the book and didn't notice the conversation happening a little way away. It was James Potter, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. Potter and Black were arguing over Quidditch and which brooms were better while Remus was listening to their argument and smirking at random parts of their funny conversation. A little farther down was a beautiful young girl, about the same age as Amelia, named Lily Evans. Lily was looking around at all of the different shops debating whether or not she wanted to buy a new book. Before she could decide, James Potter paused in his argument with Sirius. He looked up at a figure walking out of the Potions store with a swamp of black greasy hair on his head. Sirius looked at James and then looked at where he was looking. They both smirked at each other and then got up and walked over to the boy, known as Severus Snape. Remus followed them but kept behind them.
James and Sirius walked up to Snape and started to taunt him.
"What'cha got there Snivellus?"
"Is it a new book on the dark arts? We all know just how eager you are to join You know who."
Lily looked up and over at the four boys. She was immediately filled with rage and stormed over to the boys. She walked over and slapped James Potter as hard as she could.
"Leave him alone! What has he ever done to you?!"
Snape looked at Lily with an expression that Lily couldn't quite place. Then his faced was transformed into an ugly sneer.
"I don't need a filthy little mud-blood to stick up for me."
The others just gasped as Lily just stood there with a shocked expression and tear filled eyes.
While this was all taking place, Amelia, still oblivious to the whole thing, got up and threw away her trash and then started walking down towards them still reading her book.
James was just as flabbergasted as the rest, but he was the first to recover. He glared and sneered at Snape with a look that could kill.
"How dare you insult her! How dare you call her that filthy name you greasy foul mouthed git!" James pulled back his fist and sent it flying towards Snape.
Amelia was still walking and reading. She accidently bumped into somebody and just as she turned t0 give an apologetic smile when she was punched in the face. She heard a loud crack against her jaw and immense pain as she was sent flying and stumbling backwards into a stand selling candy. She simply just lay there for a moment. Still stunned and wondering why she was punched in the jaw, she looked up at the horrified expressions of the five people.
Snape simply just looked at her as one would a piece of gum on their shoe and turned and left. James and Sirius just stood there staring at her. Remus and Lily were the first to react. They rushed forwards to help the girl that James had just punched in the face.
"Are you all right?" Lily asked the girl
The girl just nodded and tried to escape from there grasp.
"I am so sorry. I didn't mean to punch you, I swear." James managed to sputter out.
Amelia just sent him a quizzical look that said all to much that she didn't believe him. She continued to struggle from their grasp, they for some reason refused to let her go. With a sudden and final pull, she managed to yank her arms free from the people who had helped her. The funny thing was that she would not have needed their help if it weren't for them. She stumbled forwards and almost fell over again. They rushed to help her but she just put up her hands as if to ward them off. She stood up straight, which wasn't much since she was only 5,3'', and fixed her outfit and righted her bag. She turned and looked at them and with a final wave good bye, she walked off without ever saying a word.
Lily turned and looked at the three boys.
"Who was that?" The boys just shook their heads in puzzlement because the truth was, nobody really truly knew who she was. Amelia Grey was a mystery to all. And maybe, just maybe, they would solve the mystery that is, Amelia Grey.
A/n Let me know what you think of it. This was my very first Fanfic, so let me know what you think.
