A/N: Hi guys I am back and well wow I wasn't expecting a single person to look at my story, but thank you for the love I really do appreciate it. This chapter will be the twins' fourth Birthday and also the anniversary of the Dark Lord's downfall. Snape will meet Amy today along with Sirius apologizing for their behaviour with some pressure from their princess. Ginny can finally be introduced because she is old enough to talk.

Potter Gala
Potter Manor
31st July 1984
Every inch of the manor was covered in decorations. It was going to be a big media event and Harry would be making his debut in the media as the BWL.
Amethyst was wearing a dress in her favourite colour which was ironically the colour of the gem she was named after. Her dress had a fluffy skirt and her cardigan was a lighter purple fastened by a beautiful silver clasp. Not wanting to attract attention Amy kept her hair the usual jet black. Her mother had let her hair loose with a purple butterfly pin in her hair which was charmed to fly round her hair and settle down. Her hair had grown very long and now reached just below her lower waist. If Amy said it herself she looked absolutely beautiful today.
The guests were arriving and Amy could feel Sirius coming closer. Their bond had only grown stronger over time. Amy ran as fast as she could and hugged Sirius who picked her up and kissed her on her forehead.
"Padfoot you're here now tell me where is my birthday gift and also praise my beautiful hair and dress."- He chuckled and took a purple velvet box out of his robe pockets. "This is for my little Princess the other gifts are for you to open later, but this one is a personal gift tell me do you like it?" Amy opened the box and gasped it was a beautiful ring which looked like a crown and a locket with a brilliant but delicate purple gem hanging from the chain SHE LOVED IT! "Merlin Sirius you give me a beautiful present like that and ask me whether I like it or not? I LOVE IT! THANK YOU, you are the best godfather in the world.!"- "Now Amy tell me something I don't already know."
Remus couldn't come that day as he was still sick after the full moon yesterday.
Before the four could chat further Sirius was interrupted by Minister Fudge to congratulate him on his new Lordship. That left Amy with nothing to do so she went back to her room to read until she was called.
The fireplace roared green and out came a man wearing all black robes and a faint sneer. Severus Snape hated socializing but due to the request of Lily he came. Wanting to get away from the flash of the media Severus Snape went inside a room. In A room where a small figure was sitting on a big chair submerged in a book.
When he realized there was somebody there he turned to leave, but the child looked up into the raven coloured eyes with her beautiful emerald eyes. Lily's eyes.
"Hello my name is Amethyst Lily Potter pleased to meet you. If I may ask why are you in a room when all the guests are outside? Better yet how should I address you?" Severus was staring at the child who was supposed to be four years old but spoke without lisping and very politely something which he certainly didn't expect from a Potter. "Sir?"
"Hello Ms. Potter my name is Severus Snape I am your mother's childhood friend and I don't like socializing very much." The girl's eyes went comically wide. "Y-You are Severus SNAPE the youngest Potions Master in 200 years, the editor of the Wolfsbane, Potions professor at Hogwarts, Potion's Weekly's Half-blood Prince, Devenour Shelby's apprentice and 6 time winner of Chaudron d'or!" Severus was astonished that a girl who just turned four years old knew all of that. "Yes that is me, but I would prefer you call me Severus."- "And I would be honoured if you would call me Amy."
Severus and Amy chatted for an hour before Sirius Black came in the room astonished to find his former nemesis chatting merrily with his pup!
"Sirius, Mr. Snape and Severus may I present -They were on first name basis!- my Godfather Lord Black."
"Amy please come out you also need to get some photos." Lily said. "OK Mum I'll be right there, Sirius you talk to Severus I'll be back soon."
Sirius was alone in a room with Snape of all people. He didn't want to go outside or Witch Weekly's reporters would not let him leave, and he can't make an excuse of needing to go to the washroom again. So he decided to do it. Moony did it, so it was probably not that hard. Right?
"Um so Sniv.. Severus I wanted to do this I mean say this for a long time I mean I know it was my fault but like Moony said it too, so surely you could forgive me too. He took a deep breath. "IamreallysorryforeverythingIdidatHogwartsandthatprankwithMoonywasverydangerousIshouldhavebeenexpelledandIknowit'sunfairbutIamsorryeveryonegrewupbutididn't. I am sorry Severus I really am, and you don't need to forgive me but maybe if you would consider it for Amy then you could come and stay at Black Manor next week. James, Lily and Harry are going to Norway to meet a healer for Harry, so Amy will stay with me. She would really love it if you would come and maybe teach her how to brew some stuff. She helps us prepare ingredients but she would love it if you taught her how to brew."
OK so Severus did forgive the Wolf, but he didn't know if he would be able to forgive the mutt. But to be honest he never thought that the mutt would apologize him let alone invite him to his ancestral home. This was something that he never imagined even in his wildest dreams that SIRIUS BLACK the arrogant mutt would apologize. This day was getting wilder by the second. First he said yes to the invitation of a SOCIAL event then he met a four-year-old POTTER that was actually nice and fun to talk with and then SIRIUS BLACK APOLOGIZED to HIM! It was a testament to his Occlumency that he hadn't fainted yet, but he was standing like an idiot with his mouth hung open.
"Uh, uh yah I forgive you mu… Black and it would be my pleasure to teach Amy, but I will not take a penny to teach such an extraordinary child. My mentor wouldn't approve also I am growing fond of the child even though we only just met. I would be honoured to teach her. I will be there next week."
"Thank you, Severus this means a lot to me and Amy. The manor hasn't been opened for quite some time so Amy and I will go tomorrow and if you would come on the 3rd it would be great. The manor is unplottable so if you say "Manoire Noire toujours pur!" at 10 am in the floo you will be able to come through." With those words Sirius Black left the room to meet his God-daughter for a distraction.
Meanwhile…
"Wow Amy you look really pretty and that is a beautiful necklace."- "Thanks Ginny I love your dress too." Ginny Weasley was Amy's bestest friend in the world.
When Harry would be playing with Ron, Amy and Ginny would be playing together or flying on their brooms away from where their overprotective brothers couldn't see them. While Harry was only minutes older than Amy, James let him go higher in the air without protective gear while Amy would have to stick low. Ginny on the other hand wasn't allowed to be in the air at all with their 7 brothers watching them the girls couldn't fly even though they were clearly very talented. So the girls would stay up at night and fly around the Burrow when everyone was asleep.
Amy was very close to all the Weasleys, and they all treated her like a little sister all except for Ron who could be a complete jerk at times, but Amy was the closest to Charlie and Ginny. Charlie was the most overprotective of the group, but he was very fond of Amy. They both shared their love for CoMC and Charlie couldn't wait till he was in his third year to take the elective. He shared all his knowledge with Amy, and they would often go into the woods behind the Burrow to watch animals. Amy attracted all animals, she could understand them and they could understand her. Whether Magical or Mundane, Amy could attract animals, and they would be completely harmless to her.
"Hey princess wow you look beautiful."- "Thanks Charlie when the party is over do you want to join me by the pond?"
"Of course obviously I wouldn't miss a chance but when is this party going to end? I am literally so hungry when are you and Harry going to cut the cake?"
"We-"
"That is to say Fred and I-"
"Agree"
"And are starving-"
"So please cut the cake your highness."
"How do they do that I mean Harry and I are twins too but we don't have telepathy psychic links."- "I don't even know," replied Charlie.
"Mum can we cut the cake already?"- "Of course let's go Harry is already there."
There cake was a light blue which faded to a beautiful purple at the bottom. There were different animals on the first tier to represent Amy's love for animals. The second tier had an animated Quaffle because Harry wanted to be a Chaser like his father and the last tier said Happy Birthday on it. The inside was chocolate because Moony had made sure that the kids were chocoholics like him. After everyone ate Amy hugged Sirius and surprisingly Severus to James' horror and Lily's amusement. The guests were all gone and Amy was exhausted so she went to the pond and waited for Charlie to come.
Charlie made his way to the rock beside Amy's rock. "Hello princess what are you doing?"
"I was just sitting by the pond waiting for you."
"It's such a beautiful day and so peaceful today Amy."
"I love you Charlie sometimes I feel like you know me better than my own twin. Mom, dad and Harry are always travelling around the world and that leaves me with no time to be with Harry. You know that I have an eidetic memory and sometimes that is bad because I can remember all those times before the attack that Harry and I were together. Harry spends more time with Ron than me! I know my parents love me and so does Harry but sometimes I wish that we were always together like Fred and George."
Charlie reached in for a hug which she gladly accepted. "I know Princess, but I also know that you understand that Harry is different. He is the BWL and that affects him but it also affects everyone he is connected to with him. I know you are a very mature four-year-old that's why I love spending time with you, so I know you understand that. Don't you Amy?"
"I do Charlie, but that doesn't mean I can't complain about it. It's not the fact that I don't get to travel the world like he does, it's more like I can't be part of the family."
Charlie was feeling bad for her, he couldn't imagine being away from his family for months. Even if Ron could be a jerk, the twins could be very annoying and mom could be very loud. He couldn't be with them.
"Wait have you been to Black Manor yet? You said that Sirius was going to take you now that he has officially been sworn in as the Lord."
"Yah I forgot about that he is going to take me tomorrow after Harry, Mom and Dad leave for Norway to see it. And guess what the Severus Snape will come to tutor me in potions."
"Snape is going to tutor you he is my potions teacher at Hogwarts but he is really strict and blatantly biased against Gryffindors."
"C'mon he can't be that bad, I know he is sarcastic but he is nice at least to me. We talked for so long and it was pleasant."
"If you say so Princess. I need to leave for the Burrow now do you want to come along?"- No Charlie I am so tired I need to change and tie my hair it's getting so long but say hello to everyone except for Ron."
"C'mon I know Ron can be annoying at times but why do the two of you fight so much?"
"Honestly Charlie, you know that Ron can be more than annoying and he is always pulling my beautiful hair, eating my share of pudding, teasing me because my hair changes colour like it's a bad thing, always tattle-tailing if Ginny and I go flying- "You shouldn't be flying"- oh please Charlie you also know that Ginny and I are good on the broom- "Well you are good but you are still too young to be that high up in the air."
At that point Amy snapped her hair becoming a bright red. "Seriously Charlie I am a better flier than Harry too and he is literally only minutes older than me but you let him play. You exclude me and Ginny not because we are young only because we are girls! The Holyhead Harpies are all girls and they are so good! ALL THE BOYS ARE THE SAME none of you guys let us play with you. Ron thinks we can only play with dolls as if he can do a corkscrew like me or a flip like Ginny. We have to sneak outside just to catch some air, I don't want to talk to you. You are also a boy."
Amy turned around to leave but before she could leave she felt strong arms grab her little shoulders forcing her to turn around and face a very ANGRY Charlie Weasley. Her hair turned into a shade of Lavender.
"What. Did. You. Say. Amy."
"Charlie let go of me and I have absolutely no clue abut what you are talking about." She tried to say innocently but that only made his grip stronger.
"AMETHYST LILY POTTER YOU SNEAK OUT WITH YOUR BROOMS AND PERFORM CORKSCREWS AND FLIPS! Come with me right now we are talking to your parents and Ginny."
By now Amy was really scared the only time he was this angry was when Ginny was standing on the broom. She was on the verge of tears she never ever made anyone angry enough to shout at her. And Ginny would probably not be her friend if she found out that it was Amy's fault.
"Charlie Ginny never came out it was only me I wa- "DON'T LIE TO ME Amy I know Ginny you are coming with me if you refuse then I have my ways- Please Charlie I won't do it again."
It was to no use Charlie was not only taller but far stronger than Amy he easily dragged her into the manor not even listening to Amy.
"What happened Charlie why are you dragging Amy like that it will hurt her," Molly said.
Everyone was now gathered in the hall and Amy stopped struggling against Charlie's tight grip and instead broke into sobs.
"It's my fault Ginny I am so sorry I didn't know what I was saying because I was so angry that I let slip the secret of our nighttime outings- "Actually she let slip that at night when everyone is asleep Ginny and Amy ride on their broomsticks and perform tricks what was it right corkscrews and flips!"
He let go of Amy who went to stand beside Ginny with tears rolling down her face. "I am sorry Ginny please don't hate me." "It's ok Amy they were going to find out one day at least it's your birthday so they might punish use less."
"Amy is this true?"- "Yes mum and I am willing to accept any punishment you think is necessary but just hear me out. Harry and I were born only 7 minutes apart. When we go to the Burrow he gets to play with everyone while I don't. I am a good flier and so is Ginny. While I accept we could be injured when we fly outside unsupervised but what do we do instead? We love flying, but nobody lets us play with them so we found our own way. You can't really blame us for wanting to fly when everyone else does. Everyone is overprotective of us and we know it's of love but sometimes you can't blame us for wanting a little freedom. So what if the bludger hits us we would break a bone just like you would. We want you to stop treating us like babies because we are not. Holyhead Harpies wouldn't be there if their parents treated them like you guys treat us."
"Amy I understand but you will have to stop your nighttime adventures consequences will be worse but you won't be going to the Burrow for one month."
"Mom nooo you can't do that to me that's not fair you can take something else right. I won't eat chocolate for a month but I need Ginny and she needs me."
"Well that makes it better and Ginny won't meet you for a month either it's only fair that we take the thing you love most,"said Molly.
"Mum that is absolutely unfair. Amy needs me and it's her birthday surely you wouldn't punish her on her birthday."
"Well next time think before you make foolhardy decisions like that BOTH of you," said Charlie.
"We should be going Lily it was certainly an interesting day." The family made their way to the floo. Before leaving Ron made his way to Amy with a smirk on his face.
"Why Amy you just made my day, what did you think you would get away with that stunt. Now I won't have to see your face for a month."
"YOU" but before Amy could say anything more, Ron disappeared leaving a red haired Amy behind. Amy ran to her room with her little black dog thinking one thing.
Oh, Ron would pay for this.
A/N: That's it a very long chapter explaining her relationships with the Weasley's, and please don't get mad at me Ron stops being a jerk at some point. Next we will see the Black Manor and the story meets a turning point. If you have any suggestions for the plot, constructive criticism or just questions you can private message me or leave a review.
