A/N: This story is for the readers of Until The End of Time. If you have not read that story then you may not know what is going on therefore I suggest you read it first. This is a short extension of the fic to explore the Harry/Amanda relationship in my story. I know a lot of you hate Amanda so maybe this might change your mind a bit. This story was written for Sabrina-05 because she gave me the idea of writing it. This story is pretty much amateur work since this is only the second fic I have ever written. This story is not intended to be novel length and will be fairly short. I will post it up by chapter's though so enjoy.
************************************************************************
"Look at him over there by himself," thought Amanda Madison to herself. "He looks so sad and helpless. I can't help but feel sorry for him. Wait, what am I thinking. I'm not supposed to feel sorry for that idiot. I'm a Slytherien and he's a Gryffindor, or Gryffinwhore as we Slytheriens like to call them." A smile crept across her face. The joke was repeating itself in her head, as she was not aware that she was still looking at Potter but her mind was elsewhere.
"What are you looking at," said Draco Malfoy. The sound of his voice snapped her out from her daydream. It took a moment to recall what had just happened and where she was but soon realized she was at the Slytherien table at the great hall. The smile slowly returned to her face.
"Gryffinwhore," replied Amanda. Everyone at the table burst out laughing as they all knew it was an inside joke within the house. This caught the attention of the other tables and especially one green-eyed teenager with messy jet-black hair.
"What do you supposed they are laughing at?" Asked Harry.
"I don't know," replied Hermione.
"Who cares," said Ron as he continued to stuff his face with strips of bacon and eggs. Hermione gave him a look of disgust.
"You act as if you haven't eaten in days," said Hermione.
"Hey, it's all you can eat," replied Ron. "So eat all you can eat." Hermione once again gave him a look of disgust and turned her nose back into the book she was reading. Ron continued to stuff his face as Harry once again was confined in his sorrows.
He quickly scanned the tables around him. The first thing that caught his eye was the empty spot at the Hufflepuff table. All the Hufflepuff's had decided that the seat would remain empty, in memory of the late Cedric Diggory. This caused him to feel even worst as he still blamed himself for what had happened that night. He drew his breath and closed his eyes as he relived that night in his mind.
From the other side of the hall Amanda was still watching him with a sympathetic look. She knew exactly what had happened that previous year, as did most people. She knew that the two Hogwarts champions had disappeared after grabbing the Triwizard Cup and only one came back alive. She did not know exactly what had happened or where they went but remembered a brief announcement about how the Dark Lord had returned. The idea struck as a shock to many while others denied it. Some quickly accepted the idea since this was Dumbledore speaking. She had also accepted this because even though she was a Slytherien, she respected Dumbledore's wisdom greatly. She did not hate him but saw him as a man of experience rather than an old fool. Still keeping her gaze on Harry she studied his actions. She studied everything about him from his look of sadness on his face to his beautiful green eyes. Although she was supposed to hate them, she had to admit to herself that he did have nice eyes. "He's not half bad looking either," thought Amanda to herself. He was looking around the room and quickly caught her gaze. He had a questioning look on his face but she ignored it and left the great hall for potions class.
"Potter!" Yelled Professor Snape as Harry walked into the classroom. "You're late! Ten points from Gryffindor!" Several Slytheriens snickered at his misfortune. Amanda looked at the clock on the wall and noticed he still had a minute left. Harry noticed this as well and was ready to testify.
"But professor there's.," said Harry, but he was cut off in mid sentence by an angry Snape who loved to make his life miserable.
"Make it twenty points! Now take your seat so we can begin our lessons." Harry looked steamed as he made his way towards his seat. He usually sat with Ron but noticed that Hermione had already filled that spot. Glancing quickly around the room he only saw one empty seat and that was next to the Slytherien girl he caught looking at him that morning. Not wanting to lose anymore house points he quickly took the seat before Snape yelled at him again. Amanda gave him a quick glance before returning her attention back to the front. She knew it wasn't fair that Snape always picked on Gryffindors, especially Harry and his friends but she dared not speak against her house much less her head of house.
"Follow these instructions," said Snape as he waved his wand and instructions appeared on the blackboard. "You will work with the person next to you. You have until the end of class so begin."
"But professor what are we making?" Asked Hermione. Snape gave her a deadly look as she sank back into her chair.
"If I wanted you to know the name of the antidote to the poison, I would have told you," replied Snape. "You will be testing your antidotes on each other at the end of class so get working. And one more thing Miss Granger, ten points from Gryffindor for speaking with out being recognized." The Gryffindors mumbled in protest while the Slytherien's snickered to once more. Harry however noticed that Amanda did not snicker with them.
"Well I suppose we're partners then," said Harry. Amanda only nodded as she took her ingredients from her bag. "I never thought I would be introducing myself to a Slytherien but I'm Harry Potter." He extended a hand out to her as a means of making peace with a handshake.
"Mandy Madison," replied Amanda as she quickly shook his hand. "That's what everyone calls me."
"Her skin is quite soft and smooth," thought Harry to himself as he shook her hand.
"Let's get to work," said Amanda interrupting his thoughts. She looked up to the board to read their instructions. "It says to grind some ginseng." She turned to Harry who had already started doing the first step. He grinned at her and continued his work. She quickly boiled some water in a cauldron. As they continued to work they carried on a light conversation and were surprised that they got along well since they were supposed to be rival houses.
"Yes it was quite funny when Malfoy was turned into a ferret," said Amanda as she giggled. The sound of her giggle caused Harry to feel strange but he ignored it.
He quickly gave her a fake questioning look and asked in a sarcastic way, "a Slytherien laughing at her own house member?" Once again she giggled at this.
"I may be a Slytherien but I still laugh at a good prank or joke when I see one," replied Amanda. Harry smirked at her.
"Glad to see someone in the Slytherien house has a sense of humor."
"Hey watch it buddy," replied Amanda quick to defend her house.
"Uh sorry," replied Harry knowing he was crossing into dangerous water.
"That's ok," said Amanda, her smile quickly returning to her face.
"She's not so bad," thought Harry to himself. He saw that Amanda was looking at the board for the next step in their potions but a confused look came across her face.
"What's the matter?" Asked Harry.
"Let me ask Professor Snape something," replied Amanda as she waved for Snape to come over to their desk.
"No! What are you doing?" Harry looked at her with disbelief. The last thing he wanted was Snape hovering over his shoulder telling him what he was doing wrong. Snape saw Amanda flagging him over and quickly made his way towards their table.
"What seems to be the problem Miss Madison?" Asked Snape. "Is Potter not doing his share of the work?"
"Obviously Snape was looking for a reason to dock me of house points," thought Harry to himself.
"No we're ok Professor, but I do have a question," replied Amanda. Snape looked like Christmas had been taken from him. "The next step in our potion is nightshade but from what I understand that is a poison Professor."
"That is correct Miss Madison," said Snape.
"I thought we were making an antidote?" Asked Amanda.
"Once again you are correct Miss Madison; twenty points to Slytherien for your brilliant deduction. You see sometimes poison is best countered with another poison, and in this case nightshade makes a key ingredient in the antidote."
"Thank you Professor," said Amanda. Snape nodded and quickly left. Harry sat there chopping up the nightshade and put them into the potion. He turned his back for a moment to copy down some notes and when he turned back around she was adding in mandrake roots.
"No!" Yelled Harry as the cauldron blew up sending the potion everywhere and on everyone. Harry looked first to see the shocked look on Amanda's face then saw a furious Snape making his way over towards them.
"Potter!" Came the voice of Professor Snape. "What are you trying to do? Kill us? That will be fifty points from Gryffindor and detention!"
"Professor, I."
"Professor, it was my fault," said Amanda.
"Your fault Miss Madison?" Asked Snape who was suprised. At this point everyone was staring at her with an open mouth. A Slytherien had the perfect chance to get away with a mistake and blame it on a Gryffindor but she didn't. Amanda looked around at everyone staring at her and became quite nervous.
"Yes Professor. I accidentally added the mandrake roots too early and well you know the results."
"I see Miss Madison. Ten points to Slytherien for accepting responsibility for your mistakes. However you shall serve detention with Mr. Potter." All the Slytherien's seemed quite pleased with this while the Gryffindor's protested.
"What about our fifty house points?" Asked Harry. "And why do I have detention?"
"Fifty points for obviously not helping with the potion or else you would have known to stop Miss Madison. Detention because this is a team effort and both of you failed." Snape gave him an evil grin and returned to his desk.
"I'm so sorry," said Amanda not even daring to look at him in the eyes. "I really didn't mean to." She knew that he was very angry but hopefully not with her. Snape was being unfair and she wanted to testify against his punishment for Harry but knew better than to do that. It would have only made it worst if she tried.
"It's alright," replied Harry. He took in a deep breath and tried to release his frustration. "Thank you for sticking up for me though. I didn't expect you to do that." Amanda knew why but decided to ask anyways.
"And why wouldn't I? I'm the one who put the mandrake roots in." Harry was surprised that she had said this. He had expected her to understand the rivalry between the two houses.
"Well you know, because I'm a Gryffindor." Amanda saw that he was getting nervous about the subject but thought it was quite cute so she decided to press on.
"And?" He didn't want to be rude but came right out and said it.
"And you're a Slytherien. We're supposed to hate each other." He didn't dare look at her in the face and instead became very interested in his shoes.
"Harry look at me in the eyes," said Amanda. "Am I not human? Do I look like a monster to you?" Harry looked at her face to meet her beautiful blue eyes. They were a light ice blue that went well with her long blond hair.
"More like a princess," whispered Harry as he was mesmerized by her beauty but quickly realized what he said and blushed. "Where the hell did that come from," thought Harry to himself. Amanda also heard what he said and blushed but continued on.
"We're both humans, I don't see any reason to hate one another because we wear different color scarves." Harry nodded in agreement but was at the same time surprised at her kindness. He never expected any Slytherien to be kind to him or treat him fairly, but if she was willing to do so then he would treat her fairly as well. Potions ended for the day and Harry left with Ron and Hermione who were busy asking him questions about what had happened. Amanda was one of the last to leave the room, which was still a mess from their potion. As she left the classroom, Draco Malfoy stood outside waiting for her.
"I need a word with you," said Draco. Not knowing what else to say she nodded. "Follow me." He quickly turned around and made his way to the Quidditch fields as she followed him.
"Where are we going?" Asked Amanda curiously.
"The forest is the best place to talk about this," replied Draco.
"The Forbidden Forest? We're not allowed to go in there."
"Just do it!" Yelled Draco as they came near the edge of the forest.
"No!"
"Silence!" Came a venomous voice from inside of the forest. "You will not speak to her that way."
"Yes master," Draco quickly replied and sunk to his knees.
"Who are you?" Asked Amanda who was suddenly afraid but at the same time curious. A robed figure in all black stepped forward.
"Don't you recognize your own father?" Amanda gasped as he said this. She knew exactly who he was but had never met him before. Her mother had hidden her at birth from him and was raised to believe that he was evil and no good. "Ah so you do know about me. Well then we could just skip the introductions."
"What do you want?" Asked Amanda who was now slowly backing up.
"I just came to see my daughter," replied Voldemort in almost a hiss. "I want you to know that when I come into power you will have a spot by my side to help me reign terror into the world."
"And why would I want to do that?" Amanda said boldly. Voldemort was clearly not expecting this answer.
"Why? Because I am your father, and I am giving you a chance at power. You are a Slytherien!"
"I may be a Slytherien but I still have a heart," replied Amanda.
"A heart? As in you can love? Don't ever make that mistake dear child. Love is for fools. Love is for the weak."
"Didn't you ever love mom?" This seemed to cause Voldemort to hesitate for a bit before answering.
"All I can tell you is that if you love, it will only end in pain," said Voldemort in a cold crisp voice. "So go and love if you wish but when it happens just remember that I was right." With those last few words he turned around and went back into the forest.
"You're his daughter?" Asked Malfoy who was clearly surprised by all this.
"It's not something I want announced around," replied Amanda coldly as she turned her heels and went back to the castle leaving Malfoy behind.
A/N: Let me know what you guys think. I have a lot more written and can post it by chapter. I am not done with the story but I felt as if I've promised you guys this story for a long time now. I hope you guys like it.
