It had been two days since we came back to England. I still haven't asked. I think it's time. I need to know who I am.
"Dad?" I asked, walking into the kitchen where he was making lunch. "Yes, Amelia?" he asked, turning to me. "I think we need to talk." I said. He nodded slightly. That was easier than I expected.
"So, how did you get me? I mean, the story about your cousin in Australia was terrible." I asked, staring at Dad, who sat infront of me. "Well, it all started in the Great Hall. Aleathia and I were eating, when a bright light appeared. Once it died down, a cry was heard. That was you." Dad said, avoiding eye contact. He must be nervous then, cause Dad never avoided eye contact with me. "What happened?" I asked. "Aleathia and I were asked to go to Professor Dumbledore's office. He then told us about his younger sister. Not in detail, just what he knew happened to her." This is getting confusing. "What's that gotta do with anything?" I asked. Dad sighed. This'll be hard. Yep, probably. "His sister's name was Amelia." Dad practically whispered. "And she had just appeared in the Great Hall."
What? Me? No. Me, a Dumbledore? As if. "You're joking, right? Please tell me you're joking. Me? Professor Dumbledore's sister?" I laughed, not actually believing it. Dad sighed. "That's the truth, Amelia. Whether you believe it or not, Amelia Dumbledore is the name you would've had if you weren't given to me." I stared at him. "But, his mum died years before I was born, that doesn't make sense." I was definitely in denial. "You were taken from the time you were born and taken into the future. There was a note that came with you, explaining you to Professor Dumbledore. He didn't tell us what was writen, other than that you needed to be given to a Scamander. Aleathia was moral support." Dad explained. "I'm not sure what to think. How did I end up in the future? Why did you need to adopt me? Why didn't Professor Dumbledore take me if he is in fact my older brother?" I asked, having gotten up and started pacing. "I can't answer those. I'm not sure Dumbledore really knows. But, I can tell you this. It doesn't matter how. I'm glad you did, because otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten to raise you." Dad said, coming and wrapping his arms around me. She's taking this better than I thought she would. I buried my head deeper into his stomach. He's right. I guess I am taking the news that I have two older brothers who are still alive better than most people would.
"Does Aberfoth know I'm alive?" I asked. I don't think so. Professor Dumbledore asked us not to tell anyone the truth. Dad thought. "So, no?" I asked, still finding Dad's habbit of forgetting to talk funny. "No." Dad agreed.
Day Amelia was born:
It was a happy day for Kendra and the Dumbledore family. Kendra was giving birth to an impossible baby. They still has no idea how Kendra was still able to care for three children, all with their specialized needs, and still be able to care for herself and an unborn baby without the support of her husband. Percival had been arrested for attacking a group of muggles, who had attacked his daughter, to be fair. Albus, Aberforth and Ariana were all, thankfully, past the ages of needing attention 24/7. Still though, it was hard on Kendra. Fortunately, Albus had a friend, Gellert Grindelwald, so she didn't need to worry about her oldest son, who was usually at Bathilda's house. She was Gellert's aunt, and he was staying with her.
Amelia was perfect. She was the perfect weight and length, for a baby. She had also been a quick and painless birth. Magic being the reason it was painless, of course. All was good for the Dumbeldores. But it would not remain that way.
Kendra was dying. The pregnancy took more out of the witch than she, or anyone, realised. The healers could do nothing but make her confortable. As the three older children sat with their mother, a man who hated the Dumbledore family with a passion decided to stab another hole in the younger generation's already broken hearts.
The man kidnapped the stabilized newborn and brought her to the department of mysteries. The unspeakables were working on a time travel device that could send a person up to 20 years into the future. There were still problems, such as the fact that anyone put in the machine is turned into a three week old baby, or that a family for the person to be sent to must be specified, but other than that, it worked fine! The man was an unspeakable until last week, so he knew how to work the device. He wanted the child to go 14 years into the future and to go to his aunt's cousin's family, the Scamanders. He placed Amelia into the machine, filled out the specifics the Scamanders would need to know, pressed the activate button and left the room. Amelia was thrown 14 years into the future. Right into the middle of the Great Hall.
An: Hi! Just to clarify, when I said I would "Delete this", I meant delete the chapter that wasn't a chapter. Anyways, I don't own FBAWTFT. Just a warning, I changed a lot of ages, so the timelines will never match the original one when concerning the Dumbledore family. I got the idea of Amelia being kidnapped from Gatsby Green. Hope you enjoy. I will do the Crimes of Grindelwald. Just, it may be a few months before I update again. Just a quick warning. Until then, goodbye.
