Obviously, the fourth year is important...more like the end of the fourth year...then the last three years plus beyond will be important. However, I won't waste a whole lot of time on the Triwizard Cup. The ball will be mentioned, as well as Voldemorts return. I just don't want people missing out on a whole bunch...but let's be honest we want to see Amelia outsmart Umbridge in the fifth year XD
Dad never told us who was at the door. Just that both Draco and I should look out for one another, and stay together. Sitting beside each other on the train, we were almost completely silent as neither one of us could really speak on something; something we were both still too naive to understand. Izzy, Crabbe, and Goyle all joined up. Fred and George eventually found us as well, sitting on the floor in our room.
We had to look quite odd, sight holding quite the array of passersby who were all quite shocked. "Fred, George...what are you doing?" The voice of Ginny had demanded, we all looked at her with confusion.
"Sitting with our friends." George replied.
Fred nodded. "We do not let Mum's prejudice cloud our judgements." Izzy smiled, blushing a bit at Fred's words. Seemed he noticed as he looked over at her. Winking in her direction quite happily.
Ginny seemed to be annoyed. "Then why are you sitting on the floor? If they are such good-"
"Gin, if you haven't noticed...there isn't any room. Draco won't sit anywhere except by his sister, and we wouldn't dare deprave the girls from their seats." Fred stated simply, frowning at his sister. "Harry really is a terrible influence on you, everything he has ever said about Amelia...has been a lie."
George nodded. "Yeah, Gin. You don't even know Amelia, nor will you ever because of your little celebrity crush."
Ginny did not like this at all, while glaring at me fiercely. "Your colors will show."
"Your colors are already." I replied, locking my gaze on her. "Helplessly in love, but you are afraid that if you tell Potter he won't reciprocate what you feel. This is sadly true for you, he has his eye on Cho...who has her eye on Diggory." The look she gave me was one of shock.
"How do you know-"
"Our Amelia can see auras." George replied simply, cutting his sister off.
'Thank you.' I sent too the redhead.
"You are most welcome, Amelia." He replied.
Ginny narrowed her eyes. "She didn't say anything."
'Yes, I did.' I replied to her.
"Bloody hell!" She cried, looking at me in surprise. "You are a Leglimens?"
I said nothing, simply raised an eyebrow. Where the heck had this girl been, it was almost common knowledge around this school..that Professor Snape had trained me in Occlumency, and several other defense charms. They just didn't know what charms, as he refused to allow me to reveal them...unless I absolutely had to. Slowly I nodded, raising an eyebrow. "I was sure that Potter must have told you."
Draco raised a blond eyebrow looking at me, but I shook his head. I knew he was dying to tell people I was a seer, but only our intimate group was allowed to know. The fewer the better in all honesty. I was told by not just Diedra, but my father, Snape, and my mother that my sight was not a circus. Only in dire situations was I allowed to disclose this information.
I heard a huff, before I moved my gaze to see the female Weasley walk off. "Our sister everybody." Fred announced, before both he and George started clapping. Leading us all to laugh brightly, freely.
"Loved it...explained to our love sick puppy of a sister what was what with Harry." George replied, smiling happily.
Suddenly we had an adult popping his head inside, he was strange looking. With an odd mechanical looking eye, following us. "Alright both of you up." He stated simply. "Students will not be sitting on the floor, you need to find another cart."
Both Draco and I looked at one another, before I was sitting in my brother's lap. "Get in the seat you two."
The twins were quick to oblige, the man seemed annoyed by this; but didn't say anything. He simply turned and left. "Thanks Amelia."
"No problem, just more rumors to be spread I'm sure." I replied.
"About you and Draco?" George asked.
Fred shook his head. "Nah, you two look way too much like twins now...no the latest is that you are shagging Snape for extra credit."
Head meet hand, hand meet head...now that you have been introduced. Smack! A groan following my loud facepalm. "Merlin!"
"What did I say, Mrs. Snape-wait there were rumors about Amelia and I?" Draco said, looking over.
George nodded. "Oh yes."
"That you two were madly in love, and that you would both be married at the end of your seventh year." Fred explained. "Was like that until the third year, when the blood adoption was announced...it quickly switched to Snape after that."
I rolled my eyes in annoyance, mean don't get me wrong. Professor Snape was a very attractive man, if I wasn't his student then possibly-wait what the hell was wrong with me. Looking over I saw Izzy grinning. "It's perfectly natural to have a crush on a teacher, many have done it." I glared at her.
"Oh father would love to hear this." Draco teased, and I turned to him.
"I know where you sleep during the summer." His grey eyes went huge.
"Understood." He replied, while pulling me closer to him. "I won't tell father, or Snape….Mother will probably figure it out though."
"Figure out what?" I asked.
"Sis, are you just blind to your own feelings. You have a crush on Snape, I've known it since your first year." Draco explained. "I also will admit, that if you were of age..I could easily see you and Snape together...and if you weren't his student."
I looked to him, right as Izzy added. "You are the light in his darkness."
My eyes narrowed, as I felt my cheeks heat up. "I am not." I knew for a fact who his light is, which caused pain to enter my chest...what...no I am fourteen he is thirty three. There is no way anything could happen, Merlin be damned they were all right…I had a crush on Professor Snape.
What now? Did I avoid him? No, he would know something was up...the only thing I could do is hope my barriers stayed up around him...and maybe once I was of age he noticed me. But, no...this was just a little school crush..nothing more..nothing less...right?
Draco seemed to know my turmoil, as he hugged me closer. "You really didn't know?"
"If this ever gets out…" I muttered.
"It's already a rumor, one he knows about." My brother explained. "Our father stressed about it, when he found out you camped out on his couch...but he doesn't believe anything is going on about it. Plus Snape would never take advantage of a student, an underaged one no less."
George seemed to eye me. "We have your secret, don't you worry."
Crabbe and Goyle nodded as well. "You don't have to worry about us." The former stated simply.
Izzy just grinned. "I think you two would look good together."
"Izzy." I mumbled.
"I have to be honest." She replied with a grin. "Don't you worry, I won't ever betray your trust."
Nodding to her, I curled into my brother. My stomach was now churning with the realization of it all, that everyone was right. I had a crush on Professor Snape.
0.o.0
Of course Hogwarts would be hosting the Triwizard cup, and of course...Dumbledore has decided since there was limited room that this year. All students had to sit with their own house, oh isn't this all just great. Sitting between Fred and George wasn't a problem, it was everyone else giving me dirty looks.
Potter, Ron, and Granger however didn't seem to really care...more to that. Granger seemed to be engaging in conversation with me, which was strange...very strange. "We won't be sharing all of our classes, together this year." She explained, but she wasn't being snooty.
"That's alright." I replied, being polite..but very weary. Something was up, my father, mother, Professor Snape, and now the Golden Trio were acting strange around me. Looking over to my brother calmly, before looking to Dumbledore. I noticed how I was receiving several glances from the teachers. 'Professor Snape, what is going on?' I sent it to the man, who looked over at me with confusion. 'I know something is being kept from me, and I don't like it.'
'Ask Dumbledore.' He replied to me.
'Something is being kept from me.' I replied instantly.
'Detention, tomorrow night.' He replied simply, giving me a slightly dark look. 'I do not appreciate the accusations, Miss Malfoy.'
I frowned at him, before huffing..breaking the link between us calmly. "What's wrong?"
"Just got Detention tomorrow night." I replied simply, gaining a few surprised looks.
"From who?" Potter asked.
"Professor Snape." I replied simply.
"He actually gives you detention?" Ron asked, surprised.
I raised an eyebrow. "Yes."
George looked at me. "You are noticing the looks all the teachers are giving you?"
"Yeah." I replied.
"Confronted Snape about it?" Fred asked.
Nodding simply. "Yeah..I hate knowing that they are keeping something from me…also that Moody is weirding me out."
"I agree, fully." George replied. "Sorry you can't sit with your brother this year."
Fred nodded. "But, don't worry we will keep you entertained."
I smiled softly at this, before being embraced by the twins. "Okay...the year may be bearable then." Viktor Krum seemed to notice me, as I watched him walk over. 'Oh Merlin! Can't this guy take a hint, no means no!'
'Miss Malfoy, your connection is open to me again.' Looking over to Professor Snape, I could see he was amused.
'Help.' I replied simply, which he responded with a raised eyebrow and a quirk of his lip. 'This isn't funny...I told him no!'
'Give me a second.' He replied, before turning to the Headmaster of Durmstrang. The man was creepy but he rose quickly and walked over.
"Krum, back to your table."
'You will wash cauldrons by hand's.' I heard Professor Snape tease.
Looking over to him with annoyance. 'I will alphabetically sort your herbs and all of your supplies, for the entire year. Just keep Krum away from me….and get me back at my brothers table.'
He simply smirked, before nodding calmly. 'I will speak to Dumbledore.'
I smiled at him, before I froze. The room kept flashing around me, the tables were gone and it was dark. 'Professor…...Dark times are ahead.'
In a flash I noticed him whispering to McGonagall and she was up moving to escort me to our room.
Are you ready?
1) Do you really think Snape will make her wash cauldrons?
2) Do you think Narcissa or Lucius will figure out about Amelia's developing feelings? If they do, how will they react?
3) Do you like that she's starting to figure it out, but is still questioning it much like any fourteen year old?
4) Do you think Amelia can save Sirius Black?
5) How do you think Lucius will react to seeing Amelia with Dumbledore's army, even if he knows why?
