Chapter Nine

A few days later Amelia was ruddily awakened when Ginny jumped onto her bed and began yelling about getting her 'lazy arse out of bed already', because they were going to Diagon Alley. At the mention of Diagon Alley, Amelia shot up.

"What time is it?" she said rushing over to the cupboard where she and Harry had eventually put a few of their things.

"Um, around 8:45" Ginny said calmly trying to supress laughs at Amelia's hair, which currently resembled a hastily made nest. Amelia shot around looking shocked, her green shirt that read 'Save a Broom, Ride a Malfoy!' half on.

"What!" she half screeched pulling the shirt on all the way. "The ministry cars get here at 9, Ginny!" Ginny rolled her eyes as she turned around on the bed to face the wall for Amelia to finish changing. "You've given me 15 minutes to get ready! You can turn back around now." Ginny turned back around. She grabbed Amelia's hairbrush and made her way to Amelia, she then proceeded to brush the rat's nest that was Amelia's hair.

"Technically you have 9 minutes. Its 8:51" Ginny tried pulling the brush through Amelia's hair. "What the crap did you do in your sleep? Sleepwalk downstairs for a midnight snack and put honey in your hair? Stop moving; you're making it worse!" Hermione walked in to the strange scene, and a shrieked: "I seriously think your hair is eating this brush! Only 7 minutes left!" Hermione laughed which caused the two girls to turn to her.

"Come here, let me do it," she said pulling her wand out of her pocket. She took hold of the hairbrush handle and tapped her wand against it. The brush pulled itself out with a moan of pain from Amelia. Hermione then cast another spell, causing Amelia's hair to untangle itself and lay down her back in its natural soft waves. Ginny then cast a small glam charm giving Amelia's skin a warm glow and a small amount of makeup to appear. Amelia brushed the non-existent dirt off of her white jeans. She then left the room and walked down to the bathroom where she proceeded to brush her teeth.

"Girls hurry up. They'll be here any minute now!" Mrs. Weasley called up. The three girls hurried down the stairs and into the kitchen, where Mrs. Weasley was putting the food that hadn't been eaten – the very small amount of it – in the Muggle refrigerator that Arthur had fixed up. Amelia ran over and grabbed a few strips of bacon off a plate that Mrs. Weasley held. She began snacking on a piece as she followed Hermione and Ginny to the door. As she was walking out the door she grabbed her bag off of the hook next to the door and slung it over her shoulder. Ron and Harry were already outside with everyone else. As she approached them a few black cars appeared, Harry broke off a piece of the bacon with a grin as he climbed into one of the cars, Amelia following.

"I'm so excited," Amelia said between chews. "My first Hogwarts robes!" Harry laughed at her excitement. His face fell when he noticed what she was wearing.

"Um, Amelia. What's up with the shirt?" He asked wrinkling his nose. "And you're in silver and green, Slytherin colors." Amelia looked down and gasped, she hadn't been paying attention to what she put on, but now it was too late to turn around.

"Well," she started with a sigh, "it's one of the shirts from Terry, and I thought it was funny when I first grabbed it the other day, and obviously no one else thinks it's funny... Crap! We're going to Diagon Alley... Where there are tons of witches and wizards. Great first impression. I probably should've paid attention to what shirt I was grabbing this morning." The rest of the trip consisted of everyone laughing at Amelia's pouting, and attempts to persuade Ginny or Harry to lend her their jackets.

They arrived in Charring Cross Road not long after. They stopped outside a building that Amelia had never seen before. Nestled between a book shop and a music shop that Amelia recognized as the shop where she'd gotten her first musical instruments, she'd been back many times.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute," she said climbing out of the car behind Harry. "You don't mean to tell me that this is the Leaky Cauldron? I've been in that music shop countless times and I never knew that the magic world was right there? I am so stupid..." She trailed off looking around at all the bemused faces around her with a pout. As they made their way into the building she shook her head in amusement.

"Hello 'Arry," a deep voice spoke from their right.

"Hagrid? You're our security?" Harry asked as Hagrid made his way over to them.

"Well the Ministry was gonna send a bunch o' them Aurors, but Dumbledore told 'em that I was capable of doing the job just fine," as he spoke the group made their way over to the back door of the Leaky Cauldron.

"Wait!" a voice called out behind them. They turned to the voice. It was Tom the bartender. "Is that who I think it is? So the rumors flying around are true?" he said looking directly at Amelia. "Miss Amelia Potter?" The bar was quite so at the name it seemed as if every witch and wizard in the room turned to her. As if by magic everyone seemed to rush over to her. Harry disappeared from view as she was swallowed into the crowd of the many magical people. All she could hear was various 'welcome backs'. She felt various tugs from everyone surrounding her; all trying to make sure that she was real. She closed her eyes; she'd never been good with small cramped spaces, and this was definitely a small space. Luckily Harry knew of her discomfort and quickly came to her rescue.

"Sorry folks, we're busy getting supplies and such. Must be going." He said grabbing her hand and dragging her out of the crowd. He rushed her out the door to a brick wall that was slowly turning into an archway thanks to Mr. Weasley who had gone ahead to open it. They made their way into the darkened alley and everyone came over to make sure Amelia was okay. Harry hugged the frozen girl, and rubbed her back in comfort. Amelia let out a loud shaky sigh and stepped back.

"I'm okay now, thanks. Just the shock and stuff." Mrs. Weasley patted her back.

"It's okay dear, we were all quite shocked. Now," she said turning to the group," Robes; Hermione you could do with some new ones, and Ron and Harry, you two seem to have shot up over the summer. And Amelia doesn't even have any, so we'll head over to Madam Malkin's first and then we can go to Fl-"

"Dear, don't you think it would be quicker and easier if the kids went to Madam Malkin's and we'll go off to Flourish and Blotts to get everyone's school books?" Mr. Weasley cut in, "and I believe that Amelia and Harry already have their books, so it'll be that much quicker." Mrs. Weasley began to protest. "Hagrid can go with them," Mrs. Weasley sighed and nodded. After deciding on a meeting place and time they all went their separate ways. As soon as the four plus Hagrid reached Madam Malkin's Amelia turned to the Golden Trio.

"Is there any way I can go in first? By myself? You know, to really soak in the experience," she asked. The three looked at each other, then to her.

"Uh sure, I don't see why not. We'll just wait outside then," Harry said, Ron and Hermione nodded their agreement.

"It doesn't have to be for long, just 5 to 10 minutes," Amelia said as she turned back to the store. As she opened the door a small bell chimed above her. She looked up at the sound and smiled more, the chimes were little robes. She let the door fall back into its frame quietly.

"…not a child, in case you haven't noticed, Mother. I am perfectly capable of doing my shopping alone," a silky voice said from behind a rack of robes. She smiled excitedly, perfect timing; he was here like in the book. She slowly made her way around the corner.

"Now, now Draco, play nicely," she said standing with her arms crossed and all her weight on her right leg, a smirk on her lips. "Mr. Malfoy what a pleasure to meet you," she said as he whipped around, giving a slight bow at the waist.

"Who the hell are you? And how dare you talk to me like that!" he yelled as he swiftly walked over to her his hand raised. He's going to slap me! She thought her eyes widening. His hand was mere inches away from her left cheek when she felt the ring growing warm. Malfoy's hand slowed down at the last second and just simply fell against her face. He didn't move his hand until after their eyes met, both sets showing shock. He whipped his hand away and turned around and walked back over to his mother and Madam Malkins. Amelia stood there, her mouth slightly agape. "You may, uhm," he cleared his throat, "finish ... Please." Both Narcissa and Madam Malkins eyes rounded in shock. Bothe woman turned to her, only then did she unfreeze and look away, her cheeks reddening.

"Of course Mr. Malfoy. I'll get the tape to keep measuring and the pins pinning while I get started on this young lady," she turned to Amelia after a flick of her wand at Malfoy. The pins and tape kept on moving as she moved over to Amelia. "Now dear, what kind of robes are you looking for? For what occasion?" she asked pulling out another tape measure out of her robes.

"Uhm, I'm in need for some school robes, I'm starting Hogwarts this year; sixth year." Madam Malkin stopped and stepped back.

"Only just starting? Isn't it a little late to start at such an age? Where have you been all this time? And if I may ask; your name?" Malkin asked confused. She could feel the Malfoy's looking at her from where they stood to the right of her. Madam Malkin had begun taking Amelia's robe measurements. Amelia took a deep breath before she spoke.

"Well, I've been kind of lost in the Muggle world. I'm Amelia.. Amelia Potter," she said quietly, nervously taking her bottom lip between her teeth. She felt everyone in the room freeze.

"Another Potter, eh? Related to scarhead?" Draco spat out.

"Why yes I am actually, he's my twin brother," the first half of her sentence directed to Malfoy, but the second half had her turning back to Madam Malkin with a smile. Malkins returned the smile enthusiastically.

"How wonderful! Another Chosen One! Someone to help "she lowered her voice," vanquish You-Know-Who." Madam Malkins carried on with what she was doing. This was her chance, time to get closer to the Malfoys. She swallowed nervously, before letting a smirk grace her lips.

"Vanquish him? Ha! Like that's possible. The Dark Lord is way stronger than two teenagers," she said as icily as she could. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Draco share a look with his Mother, then half smirk as he looked over at her. Madam Malkins stopped what she was doing and looked up at her. Amelia discreetly winked at her, and motioned over to the Malfoys with her eyes. Madam Malkin followed her eyes, turned back to Amelia, and with a nod continued working. Amelia silently sighed in relief, Malkin understood. Amelia didn't know what she would've done if the Wizarding world thought that the new Potter was on Voldy's side.

"I um, see. And what house were you hoping to get into my dear?" Madam Malkin asked lifted Amelia's arms to take more measurements. As she read the shirt her eyes widened and she looked over to Draco. Her eyes found Amelia's, and Amelia quickly shook her head.

"It was.. a dare," she lied in a half whisper, her cheeks gaining color as she looked over to Draco to make sure he hadn't seen. Luckily she was turned away from the Malfoys, so her shirt wasn't visible. Sadly luck wasn't on her side, or maybe it was Madam Malkin, for much longer. She was turned around by Malkin for her to take measurements to face the Malfoys. Amelia quickly crossed her arms over her chest, but Madam Malkin huffed and pulled her arms back out.

"I can't take measurements with your arms crossed like that now, can I? Now my question dear." She was doing this on purpose, embarrassing her like this. With a flick of her head a few locks of her hair fell forward hiding the text partially. Luckily Narcissa hadn't seen it, but Draco had seen it before her hair had covered it. He had a huge smirk on his face. Their eyes met and he winked. She felt he face, for the third time, blush, and she looked away,

"Um well," she cleared her throat, "I'd like to think of myself of brave and courageous like a Gryffindor," Amelia started slowly, answering Madam Malkin's question. "But I'm known for my meddling and.. well my not so nice side, so maybe I'll be sorted into Slytherin.." she trailed off. She was being completely honest when she said that. When she was little, when she wasn't playing angel child trying to get the Murler's to like her, she was honestly a little cow. The neighborhood children weren't nice to her, so she in turn was even worse back. "I was a terrible child, always trying to make my parents proud of me," she looked down and toed a spot of rug that was withering away. "And when I couldn't make them proud, I uh, I took it out on the other kids in the neighborhood. I wasn't the worst kid there was, but I'm probably right up there." Madam Malkins pushed Amelia's arms down, and patted her on the back. With a flick of her wand a robe appeared around Amelia. Another flick and pins began altering the robes to fit perfectly.

Amelia looked up slowly, shame on her face. She looked over to Draco who was currently having his robes magically sewn by Madam Malkins. He was looking back at her, not in amusement, but with a look of sympathy and understanding. He was also.. smiling? I was a genuine smile, a saddish sympathetic smile, but still a smile. She'd never seen his smile before, nor read about it. She returned a small smile back and looked down at the rug again. She hummed/sang "Magic" by B.o.B as Madam Malkins worked.
