A/N: Good morning, Good afternoon, and Good night~ I have taken a temporary/possibly permanent break from my Beatle fics (and originally I planned to cease existing on the site altogether,) but I'm back with a fresh idea for a different fandom, my original calling for why I joined the fanfiction world to begin with: Harry Potter. (: I was thinking about how the books have themes, and good morals: the wise words of Albus Dumbledore can apply to anyone in need of knowledge! And, as a Ravenclaw, I started to think about a theme for this fic that could actually be more than just a good read for humour or romantic purposes! I want to write something that would have a positive impact on whoever comes across this…

Anyway, read on~ Questions, comments, and all that jazz can be included in a PM or a lovely Review that I will gladly appreciate! :D Encouragement is a powerful motivator, y'know. (;

Cheers,

NATURAL TO BE LONELY

By Kay Marie Starr

CHAPTER ONE: "Secret Owl Post Admirers"

~1975, Late Summer

August 30th
Amie's Room, England

"Amie, could you please put that book down and pay attention! I'm freaking out here! He asked me! He FINALLY asked me! I SAID YES!" A spazzing tall blonde, her face flushed with excited blush, bounces on her tip toes with anticipation in her best friend's bedroom. When she fails to earn the brunette's, Amie's, attention, the blonde notices Muggle ear buds poking out of her ears. Quickly she yanks them out and shouts loudly, "AMELIA!"

"Hum?" Amelia Sweet, nicely reclining against her bed pillows, ignores the pain of the removal of her ear buds and reluctantly takes her concentrated stare off the entrancing words of her Muggle novel to look up at her best friend, Karlie Rivers. "What'd you do that for, now?"

The blonde rolls her eyes, agitated that not one word has penetrated Amie's attention because of the foolish Muggle contraption that blasts music and disrupts responsiveness. The girl has a terrible habit of getting lost in music and literature. She sighs and takes Amie's slender hands, holding her ice blue gaze against Amie's wide-eyed innocent stare. "Amelia, my bookworm of a heart-sister, I got his letter in the owl post today. Oh, and I now have a boyfriend." That last sentence, she adds as if it was a last minute thought.

A bright smile stretches across Amie's face as she tackles Karlie into a tight killer hug. "I KNEW HE WOULD ASK YOU, I JUST KNEW IT!" She giggles as her sister struggles for air and releases her graciously. "So," Amie immediately bounces onto her feet with purpose, abandoning her novel and Muggle music as she faces Karlie, who sits neatly on the edge of Amie's bed, "When do I finally get to meet this mystery wizard you fancy so much? I'm dying to know who he is! You won't tell me his name, what he looks like, what House he's in! I know nothing of this boy!" Flustered and over-enthusiastic as she always is with her closest friends, Amelia bubbles with eagerness and joy at the latest news of her sister's summer fling.

Karlie grins up at her knowingly. Amelia has been told very little about the boy she's been owl-posting all summer. Karlie's reasons for not identifying the young wizard are quite rational: Amelia absolutely LOATHES him for his bad reputation with young witches, school rules, detentions, and causing food fights in the Great Hall (on one account, chucking a pumpkin pasty down the front of Amie's blouse in Fourth Year.) In other words, Amelia has felt nothing but bad vibrations about the Gryiffindor Sixth Year, Sirius Black, who just so happens to now be dating her best friend/heart-sister, Karlie Rivers, but she doesn't know it.

"Just wait till we get to the Platform, love," Karlie says with a kind smile as she secretly enjoys the sight of Amelia pacing around her bedroom with impatience. Surprises and mysteries are not good friends to the energetic brunette.

"Just tell me what House he's in!" Amie stomps her foot childishly, tired of the waiting. For a sixteen year old, she's much too rambunctious at times, highly contrary to her usual quiet attitude. "I hate it when you keep stuff from me, especially when that stuff is BOYS!" she wails like a toddler wanting to open a Christmas gift on Christmas Eve.

Karlie stifles a giggle and uses her charming sarcasm as she examines Amie's abandoned novel. "He's definitely in Hufflepuff, of course." A smirk plays at her lips as her fingers languidly flip through the pages.

Amie rolls her eyes as she browses her bookcase in a bored manner, "You're a horrid liar, Rivers. Hope you know that." She huffs, disappointed that she has once again failed to have her way.

Her heart-sister winks teasingly. "Spoilers, Sweetie. You can wait another two days, can't you?"

Amelia throws a book at her in negative response.

A/N: So… Have any idea how Amie's gonna respond to the revealing of Sirius being Karlie's new boyfriend? (: And don't worry, I don't plan to write short chapters often, but it may happen every now and then. This was just a starter for you guys to get to know the girls!

Oh and FYI: Karlie and Amie aren't real sisters, but "heart-sisters." They're basically best friends who act like they're related lol.

("Sweetie" is Karlie's name for Amie when they address each other by surnames, because Amelia's is Sweet. Sometimes Amie calls Karlie "Fishpond" since her last name is Rivers.)

Reviews are gladly accepted with a warm hug and a kind smile! (:
