She is short, but I have finally moved into a new house, found a new job, so everything is slowly going into place. But, I was in a small wreck a few weeks ago, no one was hurt..but that is why this has taken a lot longer than it should have to be posted. I am sorry.
The week was going well, until Professor McGonagall back a pop quiz she had given. The big red A caught me off guard, this wasn't acceptable...and yet it was there. She patted my shoulder, and asked to see me.
"Amelia, you are taking on way too much." Professor McGonagall acknowledged. "Which is why, only during the summer will Professor Snape be furthering your teachings of extracurricular activities."
"But, I-"
"Need to focus on school." She told me flat out. "Professor Snape was the one to suggest this." Her warm hand running fingers through my hair. "I know this is difficult, but we have all been concerned. You aren't sleeping enough, and over taxing yourself won't prove anything."
I sighed, but understood. I slept through most of Christmas break this year as well. Didn't attend the formal, because it didn't interest me, instead Draco and I camped out in the Slytherin common room together, with permission of course. We just didn't have any interest in the formal, and with Moody being a chaperone we were able to skip. I helped him get caught up with his Muggle studies that he decided to take and struggled with. He helped me figure out where I went wrong on my Transfiguration Pop Quiz.
"You really were worn out, you just mislabeled a few from the following year." He explained.
"I was petrified most of last year." I replied simply, and a look of hurt crossed his face. "I'm sorry Draco, I'm just frustrated. With Moody, losing my extra credit, this A."
"I get it sis, but this A isn't the end." Draco told me, and I knew he was correct. "I will be by your side till the end."
"Same here, brother." I replied to him. "So, any theories on Moody?"
"Father has one, and that he is a spy for you know who." Draco replied, his eyes narrowed. "Amelia, you have to be careful."
"I'm trying to be." I told him, right as the rest of Slytherin filed in.
"Alright, slumber party!" Crabbe called out happily, making both Draco and I laugh. "Oh Snape caught Forcset and Stevens about to do the dos in a carriage."
My eyes went huge, before I busted in a fit of laughter along with Draco. "How many points?"
"Ten each."
"They were lucky, they didn't get detention for a month." I replied.
"Or expelled." Blaise added from his corner.
Hogwarts had a big rule against sex on school grounds, and that was it wasn't allowed. Girls and boys couldn't even go into one another's dormitories, due to magic preventing it. Very strict, very quick to get on a one way train ride home. Also, if a underage pregnancy were to occur both parties would suffer, the father would be held just as accountable as the mother. They would be shamed, sent Azkaban, and exiled from the Wizarding world until their child became of age. Unless it was rape, than mother would be allowed to stay in school, and be given treatment of any kind if she so desired. Father would be in Azkaban forever. Both scenarios were again rare, as the school was magical and teachers ever vigilant.
"He should have taken more points, but I bet that he was being distracted." Draco commented.
"Probably, that Bulgarian headmaster has been all over Snape." Goyle agreed. "Bothering him bad, annoying him really."
"Snape shouldn't take it, he normally doesn't." I replied, biting my lip.
Changing the subject. "Oh don't think you will have to worry about Viktor, anymore." Blaise piped up.
"Oh?" I asked.
Goyle nodded. "He had his crummy hands all over Granger, and she seemed to like it."
"She likes attention, especially since Ron keeps shooting her down and Harry hogs it all." I replied.
"Ron and her got into a huge fight, about him asking her..and not as a last resort." Daphne replied, standing next to her sister Astoria...who was smiling at my brother..and my brother returned fondly.
"Toxic friendship." The younger replied.
A realization hit me, and I had to stop myself from smacking myself in the forehead. "Oh my god. She reminds me of Mrs. Weasley!"
"Oh shit!" Blaise replied, in shock. "Your right, she does mother those to an awful lot."
"That's creepy." Draco muttered. "With that note, I'm going to bed."
"I have permission to stay the night." I replied, with a grin.
Daphne, Pansy, and Astoria all quickly moved to me. "Cool, the three of us can stay up talking."
"Actually, I was going to try something while I was in the safety of here." I replied.
Draco looked at me. "What?"
"Call a premonition." I told him. "See if I can see Moody for who he is."
"Amelia!" Jumping instantly, at the sound that was not my brother but my father. I turned to see his angered expression, I was in for it.
Ready for questions?
Are you surprised Amelia got an A in McGonagall's class?
How much trouble do you think she is in with Lucius?
Do you think Voldemort will find out about Amelia?
That is all folks.
