Chapter 10- Crazy Ideas
Amelia walked into the potions room. Her hair was tied up and she looked tired. She walked pass Draco, not glancing at him once. She sat down next to Hermione and started whispering with her. Draco watched as she walked by him,he could smell her pomegranate perfume. It made him want her back even more. Amelia hadn't spoken to him in days,it made him even more upset. He knew he had to figure out how to get her back. He feared that when she went back that she would find someone else.
Amelia looked down at Draco, she noticed how he was slouching in his chair. She remembered how she used to poke at him during class to sit up. She laughed a little and went back to taking notes. 10 minutes later Snape took the students into the lab. He had a plan and hopefully it would work, he didn't like seeing his god son depressed and he knew Amelia was still upset.
As they walked in Snape handed each student a different colored vial. Every student got one but little did the students know that Snape had put two of each color into the mix. As each student went and stood by their friends he looked around. Amelia and Draco where holding the same color,it was perfect.
"Alright now everyone look at the color you have. Now find the person with the same color. They will be your partner for the next few classes as we work on some potions." He said watching as people paired up.
Amelia looked at the color she had, Red, she looked around the room for the person she had to be paired up with. She scanned the room, out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of red. She walked over to him. As she got closer she noticed who it was. He shot a death glare at nape who smiled back at her.
"Is there a problem Ms. Roseheart?" He asked slyly.
"No sir" She walked towards Draco "Not at all" She tapped on Dracos shoulder and stood next to him.
Draco felt a light tap on his shoulder and turned around to see Amelia standing next to him. He could tell she wasn't to happy about it, but he knew that Amelia would have to talk to him at some point in the next few days. The thought of that was enough to make him smile.
"Alright students, today you will be working on a simple Shrinking potion. In front of you you will see all the ingredient need and on the other side of the room there are full grown rats fresh from the forest for you to test them on. You have thirty minutes so begin." He sat down at the desk in the room and watched as everyone began to work.
Amelia picked up her book and flipped to the page about the Shrinking potion. She placed it in the middle of them both then started reaching for the ingredients. Draco looked at the list and also grabbed for a few ingredients. As he was reaching for the rat spleen and decided to try to talk to Amelia.
"So hows quidditch going?" He looked at Amelia for an answer but got nothing. He sighed and added the rat spleen. He looked at the book and noticed how it said not to put to much leach juice for the potion would not settle into the purple color it should be. He remembered how Amelia got about her potions being perfect. He smiled as he got ready to pour in the leach juice. As Amelia put the last of the Daisy root in Draco began to pour.
Amelia watched as Draco started to add the leach juice. She soon noticed that he was about to put in too much.
"What are you doing! Your going to put too much in." She grabbed the bottle from him and sat it down on the table. She watched as the potion went from its purple color to a bright pink. She shot him a death glare."Just don't touch anything. I'll start a new batch, if anything take this one and get rid of it." She handed him the cauldron and watched as he walked to the drain. Amelia started the new batch. She watched as the cauldron began to bubble with the rat spleen in it. She placed the daisy root in and the skinned shrivelfig. She looked up and saw Draco finishing up cleaning the other cauldron. She felt horrible for yelling at him, bu honestly it was easy to see that he was adding to much. She had to admit she was happy to be working with him, she just didn't want to show it. She knew it was stupid and childish but she couldn't help it. She knew she missed his arms around her and the kisses but he had made it clear how he felt about her. She sighed and poured a small amount of leach juice into the cauldron.
Draco walked back over to where Amelia was, he sat the cauldron down on the desk as Amelia poured the last of the potion into the vial. He took the vial from Amelia and looked at her. She motioned to the rats and started to walk over. Draco followed behind her and poured some of the potion onto the rat. They both stood there and watched as the rat turned back into a pup.
Snape watched also and marked in his book that they had successfully completed the potion. He got up and walked over to them.
"Hello Amelia...Draco. Good job on the potion. Hand me your vial and you can leave early. Amelia I know you have a match later so you should go eat and get ready. As for you Draco I do believe you have a late paper to work on."
Amelia handed him the vial and went back to her desk. Draco watched as she picked up her books, he wanted to talk to her but he could tell she didn't want to talk to him. He sighed as Amelia walked pass him and into the hall. He went to grab his stuff from his desk and head out, Snape stopped him on his way out. .
"Draco, I hope you understand why I paired you two up."
"Not really sure."
Snape sighed "You will figure it out soon enough...hopefully"
Draco looked at him confused as ever. "Well I'm gonna go now. I'll see you later coach."
Draco turned and walked out into the hall. He stopped and went back into the room, he went to his desk and grabbed his notebook. He looked in it and made sure the thing he had been working on was still in there.
He had heard about the talent show two days before and knew that Amelia would be there. He had gotten an idea and started working on his talent immediately. He knew that it was going to blow Amelia away. It was the perfect plan to get her back.
Amelia was walking through the courtyard when she was stopped by Alex Jamison, he was a 2nd year hufflepuff that she had been tutoring for a few days.
"Hey Amelia, Thanks for the help with my transfiguration's homework last night."
Amelia smiled "Its nothing, Ill help you later tonight with your herbology."
"That would be great! I'm still not getting the mandrake plant." He gave her a hug.
Draco walked into the courtyard. He was going to go down to the lake and think for a while. He accidentally tripped and dropped his potions book. As he bent down to pick it up he saw Amelia hugging someone else. He heard her say that she would see him later that night after her match. His heart dropped, she had already moved on. There was no getting her back now.
Amelia waved bye to Alex as he headed to his next class. She noticed Draco starring at her, his books in the dirt. She sighed and walked over to help him. She bent down and picked up his potions notebook. Draco looked up at her as she leaned down to help him. Amelia smiled at him and went to hand him his notebook, as she was about to hand it to him when a piece of paper fell out. Amelia looked down at it and Draco started to blush. She noticed her name on the top, she picked it up and read a part of it.
"I'm so so sad to Ever hurt hurt hurt you I'm more afraid of losing you than anything before "
She looked up at him. "Draco...did you write this?"
He took the paper from her "I wrote it for you but its obvious you've already moved on." He stood up and began to walk away.
"Draco wait! What do you mean already moved on?" She looked at him confused.
" I saw you hugging that guy and you told him you would see him later tonight."
"Are you serious? That's Alex I tutor him." She stood up. "Besides why does it matter if I moved on?"
"Because...because" He looked at her.
"Because why Draco?" She could feel herself starting to get angry.
"Because...because I still care about you...that's why."
"You still care about me? That's a lie." She glared at him. "If you still cared about me then you would have stood up for me that night."
"Amelia I know I was stupid for not standing up for you. I know that, I feel horrible about it too. If I would have stood up for you then you wouldn't have been attacked by that thing. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me Amelia, Please."
Amelia looked at him "I don't know Draco, I need time to really think about this. I cared so much for you and I would have done anything for you. But when you just stood there and let your Aunt insult me like that. I lost all trust and faith in you that I had." She walked up to Draco. "Give me some time to think Draco." She hugged him then ran off to the field to practice.
Draco sighed and looked down at the ground he noticed something shining. He reached down and noticed that it was the necklace he had given Amelia. He picked it up and noticed that the chain was broken and the charm was scratched up and dirty. He took it and place it in his pocket. He picked up his stuff and headed to the Slytherin common room. He had another idea that he hoped would work.
A few hours later
Amelia was heading down to the locker room to finish getting ready for the match. She had had a while to think about everything. She still wasn't sure what to do yet but she knew that she would have to make her mind up sooner or later. She got into the room and noticed Snape in the room.
"Professor? Whats going on?" She set her bag down on the bench.
"Amelia please sit down." He motioned for her to sit on the bench.
Amelia looked at him and sat down. "Whats wrong?"
"Nothing, I wanted to talk to you about you and Draco."
"Professor please" She went to stand up.
"Amelia he told us what happened. I know Bellatrix and if you knew what she could do you would have understood why Draco didn't act. Amelia he went into the forest after you. He was ready to fight that beast in order to protect you." He sat down next to Amelia.
"I...I didn't know that." She looked at him.
Snape took her hand "I know I can't make you chose him, but fully think about all the good times you two have had together, opposed to the bad times."
She looked down. "There was the train ride, and that day in the rain. When I woke up and he was there in the infirmary with me. That one time we took a walk through hogsmeade and he got chocolate frog ice cream all over his face." She laughed and smiled. "When he gave me my unicorn necklace. How much fun we had during the ball. Even when he tripped over his feet and stepped on my feet." She looked up at Snape.
"Now how many bad times did you have?"
She thought about it for a second. "One, that night when we went into the courtyard." She shook her head. "Ugh.. I over reacted. Draco was going to explain it to me that day I broke up with him. I was just so mad at him. I should have listened first."
Snape stood up and walked towards the door. "It seems you have figured things out a bit more. Hopefully that will be enough for you to make a proper decision. Good luck today." He walked out of the tent and up to the teachers box.
Amelia watched as he walked away. She stood up to start getting dressed for her game, they where going against ravenclaw that day and she was slightly nervous. The Ravenclaws used logic in order to plan their flight patterns. She knew it would be a miracle if they won. On top of trying to figure things out for the match she also was trying to figure out what to do. Her mind was spinning in circles.
"Amelia its time lets go." Oliver handed her her broom. They walked up to the field with the rest of team and when they where called they took off.

For the sake of moving the story along. And the fact that I really don't want to look up all the players from the Ravenclaw team, I will not be writing about the match like I did last time. Ill put in a few things here and there but that's really about it.
Alright sorry for the interruption. :)
End Blurb
The game had been going for half an hour and no one had score. It was getting colder and Amelia was starting to get slightly tired. She was starting to get distracted by everything going on around her. One of the chasers from the other team flew by her with the ball and she quickly remembered what she was doing. She went after them with no second thought. She was getting back into her zone. She was going to be the one to get the first goal in, she knew she could do it! Nothing was going to distract her, she was totally in the zone. Amelia flew by the Sytherin stands and noticed something flashing at her. She looked at it quickly and noticed that it said "Amelia, I'm Sorry" . Amelia smiled and continued after the ball.
The game ended about three hours afterwords and Amelia was wiped. They had just barely one the match, they had won by twenty points. Amelia knew she should head up to the showers but she needed to do something first. She watched as all the students filed out of the stands and back to their common rooms. Amelia smiled as Draco walked by the trophy cabinet. Amelia snuck up behind him and pulled him behind the closest column.
Draco wiped around to see who had pulled him and was surprised to see Amelia. "You saw it?"
Amelia smiled and nodded.
Draco looked at her. "And?"
Amelia smiled even bigger and pulled Draco into her and kissed him. "I forgive you."
Draco stood there shocked. "Wait...that really worked?"
"Well it helped me make my final decision. Snape came and talked to me before the match. He really helped me to make up my mind. I realized that I couldn't let that one bad thing influence everything that we had gone through together. I can't let one bad thing out weigh all the good things."
Draco smiled and kissed her. "Does that mean we are.."
"As long as you want me back." She looked at him.
"Of course I want you back." He reached into his pocket and pulled out the necklace. "I do believe this belongs to you." He smiled and handed it to Amelia.
She giggled and put it on. "I missed this necklace, but more importantly. I missed you."
"I missed you more Amelia." He kissed her again and pulled away.
She laughed and looked at him. "Can I go shower?" She laughed some more.
Draco nodded "Yea I think you should. No offense babe but you smell horrible!"
Amelia smiled and got ready to head up to the showers. She stopped and looked back at Draco. "I'm glad we are back together."
"So am I" He smiled.
Amelia headed up to the showers, the whole time smiling.
