Amelia was walking down the hallways at Hogwarts, it was the weekend and she was on her way to the owlry to check on Soren. That morning the small owl had simply flown in to visit her, yanking on her hair on occasion and preening her hair with his beak.
She turned the corner to see Sirius Black obviously setting up some type of pulley system for a prank. She coughed announcing her presence and held up her hands in mock defeat. "I come in peace." She stated with a smile.
"Amelia!" the boy cried out enthusiastically. "Just the girl I need." He grabbed her wrist quickly and handed her a piece of wire so thin that it was almost invisible.
"Muggle fishing wire," he stated answering her unasked question. "Now hold this while I go tie down the other end."
Amelia did as she was asked, her wide rosette eyes taking in the entire system that Sirius had created. She wasn't sure what to make of it to be honest. There was a pulley attached to a bucket of what she could only assume was something gross. A bag of feathers was hanging precariously from the ceiling.
"This looks pretty intense." Amelia stated.
"You have no idea!" Sirius answered tying a knot in the fishing line.
"So who is the poor bastard who got on your bad side?" Amelia found herself asking.
"Rodolphus LeStrange…and hopefully Bellatrix, although any Slytherin would do." He explained taking the other end of the wire from her grasp and pulling it tightly before tying it down as well.
Amelia giggled slightly. The thought of one of her friends being covered in feathers was pretty entertaining. Although having the wrath of Bellatrix unleashed upon her was not exactly something that she wanted. The last thing that she needed was to have her brother or worse her father find out that she was causing trouble with Sirius Black.
Sirius was a blood traitor amongst a majority of the pureblood community, although Amelia personally couldn't blame him. Walburga was a horrid woman who was so narrow minded she had to be slapped in the face with the truth multiple times before she realized that she needed to change her ways.
You would think that disowning two of her relatives was enough…but alas.
The sound of footsteps approaching caused Sirius to grab Amelia's wrist and hide them both behind a door.
The voices of a couple of seventh year Slytherins echoed down the hallway, their voices carrying on about the upcoming quidditch match against the Ravenclaw team.
"Is that Snape and your brother?" Amelia inquired.
"Perfect!" Sirius exclaimed holding onto a piece of fishing line.
"What did Snape ever do to you guys anyways? I mean it's true that he is a greasy creep, but that doesn't mean that you and your friends need to-"
"Shhh." Sirius shushed her.
"I think that we have a good chance, I mean with Rosier as our new beater… AHHHHH"
Amelia and Sirius watched as the bucket, triggered by the piece of fishing wire was tripped and an immense amount of what looked like honey fell on top of the two Slytherins.
"Black. You are dead!" Snape yelled firing a hex in their general direction. Regulus was still coughing up feathers, but he sent some type of silent incantation their way.
"Oh shit." Sirius laughed as he and Amelia broke into a run as they were chased by the two Slytherins throwing hex after hex after them.
"Hold it! Hold it!" Sirius caught her as she was about to run past him and threw her in a broom closet before climbing in himself and slamming the door.
"Where the hell…" Regulus asked as he skidded to a stop before the door.
"Who cares. We will get him back later. I want to wash this stuff off me." Snape sneered.
When the sound of the boys' footsteps faded, Amelia and Sirius broke out into a fit of laughter.
"Did you see Snape's face!" Sirius gasped between giggles.
Amelia nodded.
As their laughter faded, she noticed Sirius looked down at her curiously. "Sirius?"
He took a step towards her and she matched it with a step backwards, he took another and she matched it once again until her back hit the wall of the broom closet.
"Sirius." She said his name again this time not questioning him as he rested his hands on either side of her head, effectively creating a cage around her body. She found herself looking at his lips, she knew what was going to happen next.
When his lips were a breath away from hers, she looked into his stormy eyes for a second; his eyes holding just as much curiosity as her own.
His lips pressed softly against hers. They were soft and questioning, as if he wasn't sure if he should be kissing her or not.
It was when she responded to his kiss that he became more confident, stepping forward so that his body was now against hers. His hand reached up and gently cupped her cheek, his other resting on her hip. It wasn't until his tongue brushed against her lower lip that Amelia gently pushed him away.
Amelia sighed before ducking under his arm.
"I need to go." She whispered, trying unsuccessfully to hide the regret in her soft voice.
Sirius just stood in the broom closet and watched her back away before slipping out the door. He waited a moment before stepping out of the closet himself. Amelia had vanished and he couldn't help the sigh that escaped his lips, the feeling of her body against his was something that he had never felt before. Their bodies melded perfectly together, like the legend of the original person being born with four arms, four legs, and two heads being split apart and searching the world trying to find their other half.
Amelia leaned against the door to the Hufflepuff Common room, her breathing hard after all but sprinting down the hallway to get away from Sirius Black. She could not get into that right now, there was way too much on her plate. Not to mention the fact that she was now a Death Eater. She knew that Sirius shared her dream of being an auror. However, recent events had crushed that dream for her and she knew that soon, she would probably be his target. But he would never be with her, he was against the pure blood beliefs. He was against her.
With a sigh she pushed herself off of the door and walked down the tunnel to her dorm room.
