Chapter 1

Amy sighed as she sat in her room at the Dusleys. This year she didn't mind at all. She was going to be here for a week and then she would go to Potter manor then at the end of July just before her birthday, she was going to go to Hermione's house. She was so excited. She had been to Jen's home and met her family and she was looking forward to staying with the Grangers. When she had seen them just briefly, she had liked them a lot. They were warm and really just parents who cared for their daughter. Amy thought Hermione was really lucky. Amy remembered how she had come to be going to the Granger.

Hermione had come in while she was sulking.

"What is going on?"

"Amy can't come to my house this holiday. Dad is taking us on a holiday to Egypt and we will b back 2 weeks before schools open." Mr. Weasley had won the Daily Prophet draw and was planning on a holiday for his family. Amy thought they deserved it more than anyone. "You could come with us." said Jen.

"No Jen. That is ok. I will be at the manor. I will be ok."

"Or you could come to my place." said Hermione. Amy looked at Hermione in surprise.

"You would want me there?"

"Of course. You are my best friend and I would love you to meet my parents and all. We will be back from holiday a week from your birthday so what do you say?"

"Awesome!" said Amy grinning and taking Hermione into a hug.

Hermione had emailed her parents and got a response. They were happy for her to come. Amy's heart had risen. She would not be so lonely this holiday.

Since Petunia and Vernon were still her guardians, they had to sign her Hogsmeade form. Vernon signed it without asking any question and she was sure he hadn't even looked at her. Really? Her aunt she could see would sometimes sneak looks at her, Diana would act all haughty and superior. The week had never been so long. At times she felt she should let the blood wards die but then her family could be in danger. They hated her but they were still her family.

When Amy returned to Potter manor her parents were waiting eagerly for her. She went into the tale of what had happened the whole year. Her parents reactions reminded her of Hermione and Jen.

"You met a basilisk, fought it and won?!" said James in disbelief then said, "That's my girl!" said James.

"James! You don't have to be happy about this. She could have died."

"But she didn't."

"I didn't mum. Fawkes saved me."

"Still… going like that... I am glad you are alive."

She went on to tell them about the hucrox. They gasped and paled. The portraits knew what they were. Her dad had been an Auror after all.

"That was quite an eventful year." James and Lily were worried she had to come across and destroy the foul things but they believed in their daughter.

"Just be careful and let Dumbledore handle it ok?" Amy nodded.

Amy settled in Potter manor loving the freedom. Even Kira was having fun. She continued her practices and exercise. Meeting Voldemort yet again…she realized Voldemort even though he was no more than a wraith, was still determined to kill her. That frightened her but she was a Gryffindor for a reason.

THE SECOND HORCRUX GAUTNT RING 7 JULY 2003

Amy was in her room playing a game on her laptop when suddenly Fawkes flamed in. Amy was startled. "Hey Fawkes. Got something for me?" Fawkes trilled and showed her note. She took the note and read it.

Hello Amaryllis

I hope your holiday is going on well. I have found another horcrux but I need your help. I will come and pick you up tomorrow so we can go to it if that is ok with you. I cannot say more.

Professor Dumbledore

Amy was puzzled, excited and intrigued and she sent a note agreeing to go with him.

The next day Amy was waiting anxiously in the main lounge and jumped when he emerged from the fireplace.

Dumbledore took her to his office and showed a memory of Voldemort's mother and her family. After seeing the memory, Dumbledore said, "I believe the other horcrux is hidden there and I need your help in psalmouth to collect it."

"Psalmouth? You think he used a snake like the chamber?"

"It would be his way to safe guard it. there are very few psalmouths." Amy nodded in understanding. Had she not had this gift, Voldemort would have been the only psalmouth and it would have been foolproof.

Amy found herself looking at a very gloomy looking manor. "This is Gaunt manor where Voldemort's parents lived."

The door had a symbol of a snake on it. Amy shivered at the atmosphere around it. the whole placed seemed dark. At that moment Amy felt it would have mattered if Voldemort had been raised by his grandparents. He would have still turned out rotten.

After searching for a while, Dumbledore saw it, the ring laying in a corner. Dumbledore looked to be in some sort of trance and he made to touch the ring and Amy cried, "No! Professor Don't!" before she pushed him out of the way. She would apologize later.

That managed to clear Dumbledore's mind. "Ah, thank you very much. Had I touched it, I don't know what would have happened."

Amy nodded. she concentrated, an image of a snake in her head and used psaltongue. The traps surrounding the ring fell. "I didn't think it will be this easy." said Amy.

"Riddle was an arrogant man and he never believed there would be another psalmouth."

Dumbledore levitated the ring and he sat it down and then took out the sword. "This is yours. You may stab it."

"M…Me?" said Amy stammering. She couldn't do that!

"Yes." Amy made to stab it when a version of her aunt and uncle came out of it and began taunting her about how she would never be good enough, how even her parents had seen that and left… it was horrible. After closing herself to the insults she stabbed it and out came an inhuman scream before the soul was gone.

"Sir, why did the ring affect you and make you want to wear it?" asked Amy after some time.

"It's because I know what it is."

"What do you mean?"

"I shall tell you in time."

Amy excitedly told her parents she had destroyed another horcrux. They wished they were there to help her. "You are already there for me. I know I can come to you for anything. You may not know everything the real you would know nor are you real but you are there for me and that is enough." Portrait Lily smiled tearfully at that.

Amy fell asleep exhausted. She was glad she could at least tell the portraits of her parents about the horcruxes since she couldn't tell Jen and Hermione. she was sure she would have combusted. She wondered where the other horcruxes are and if they were going to find them. she trusted Dumbledore would.

There is chapter one. Hope you enjoyed.
