I do not own Harry Potter or Percy Jackson.
Prologue III: A Crash Course in the Life of Amaranth Potter
Because I don't really feel like writing it out. So this is the SparkNotes version. If I don't say it, assume it happened as it did in canon. Sorry if the wording is sometimes weird, I pretty much just copy/pasted this from my timeline notes. Once I get through this, we get to the real story. At one point I was going to actually write it, at one point I was gong to leave it out entirely, so I decided on the happy medium of summarizing. Honestly, third year and fourth year are the longest sections.
Amaranth Potter and the Philosopher's Stone:
Dumbledore left Amaranth Potter – known to the Wizarding World as Amy Potter, the Girl-Who-Lived – with the Dursleys. They mistreat her, but whenever they attempt to physically abuse her, they receive electric shocks. Amaranth grows up loving heights, and the one time she accidentally Apparates onto the roof of the school is not the only time she ends up there, it's just the only time she's caught. She still lives in the cupboard-under-the-stairs and cooks for the Dursleys. She does not garden, as she has the opposite of a green thumb.
Hagrid delivers her letter to her directly on the Hut-on-the-Rock-by-the-Sea. She immediately informs Hagrid that she prefers "Amaranth" to "Amy". He takes her to Diagon Alley the next morning. As a birthday present, Hagrid buys her a Madagascan serpent eagle that she names "Hedwig". She picks Hedwig as her eagle because she can understand Hedwig when she speaks. Hedwig addresses her as "Little Lady".
She becomes friends with Ron and Hermione on the train, and is Sorted into Gryffindor. She joins the Quidditch team during their first flying lesson. She is able to subconsciously manipulate the winds to aid her while flying. She still absolutely adores flying. When Quirrell tries to knock her off her broom, she uses the winds to give herself a boost back onto her broom.
During the troll incident, it is Amaranth who directs the troll's club with her wind powers to save Hermione, who had cried there after being insulted by Draco Malfoy.
In the Mirror of Erised, she sees the Evans family, which she recognizes from photo albums Petunia Dursley keeps in the attic; James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and the Olympians, most prominently Zeus and Hades. She also clearly sees Metis, Amphitrite, Nico, Bianca, and Thalia, though she doesn't know who they are.
When Norbert the Dragon hatches, Amaranth is just as entranced as Hagrid. Norbert listens to Amaranth and half-considers her his "mother".
When facing down Voldemort and Quirrell, Amaranth destroys them with the electrifying protection granted to her by her father and her mother's blood sacrifice.
Amaranth Potter and the Chamber of Secrets:
Starts pretty much the same as canon.
Due to the barrier closing, Amaranth and Ron cannot get through. Through Ron suggests they take the flying car, Amaranth instead recommends they wait for the Weasleys to come back. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley eventually find them and take them back to the Burrow. While Mrs. Weasley feeds them lunch, Mr. Weasley Floos Hogwarts to inform Professor McGonagall of what has happened. They go through the Floo to Hogwarts that evening and arrive in time for the Welcoming Feast.
Lockhart assigns Amaranth multiple detentions for various inane reasons. He makes sexual advances towards her in the detentions, before raping her on Halloween.
Other than Lockhart continuing to rape Amaranth throughout the school year, the school year proceeds canonically. Ron, Amaranth, and Lockhart go into the Chamber of Secrets. Lockhart is Obliviated while trying to Obliviate Ron and Amaranth. Amaranth defeats the basilisk with the aid of Fawkes and the Sword of Gryffindor. The basilisk is really a drakon.
A week after Amaranth returns to the Dursleys', Ron attempts to call her over the telephone. It goes badly, and Vernon is angry enough that he rapes Amaranth afterwards. He calls her a whore since she was not a virgin and continues to rape her for the rest of the summer.
Amaranth Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban:
Starts pretty much the same as canon, but Amaranth is taking Arithmancy and Runes instead of Divination. She is still taking Care.
On the train, Amaranth, Ron, and Hermione sit with Professor Lupin. Due to what happened with the last professor, Amaranth makes sure that Ron is sitting between her and him. As the train approaches Hogwarts, it stops, and a Dementor enters the compartment. Professor Lupin drives it back, but Amaranth faints. She hears "Avada Kedavra!"and sees a green light that is intercepted by a lightning bolt as she hears thunder.
During their first Care of Magical Creatures class, Amaranth instantly bonds with the hippogriffs (being part eagle, they recognize her as their lady). She is able to save Malfoy from being mauled by Buckbeak, though she herself is injured when the creature's talons rip through her back. She is used to pain, and proceeds to slap Malfoy and give him a five-minute tongue-lashing before allowing Hermione and Ron to take her to the nurse. Buckbeak is very apologetic.
Professor Lupin does not allow Amaranth to face the boggart in DADA, but she stays after so she can try it. Ron and Hermione do not stay. Her biggest fear looks like a cross between Gilderoy Lockhart and Uncle Vernon, and says sexually demeaning things to her. Amaranth is petrified, and is unable to cast the Riddikulus spell. Professor Lupin defeats the Boggart, then gently asks her if either of the men had followed through with their threats. Amaranth is too worried to answer another man. Professor Lupin tells her that he was a friend of James and Lily's, and he would never do anything to hurt their baby girl. He saw her as a daughter figure. She is still unsure. Lupin takes out his wand and swears a magical oath that he will never make any sexual advances towards her, and he will do his very best to protect her from any more unwanted sexual advances. Over tea, she slowly admits everything that happened over the past year, between Lockhart and her uncle. Remus gently hugs her and promises to help her. He asks if she would be willing to go to McGonagall or Pomfrey, but she refuses at that time. After that, they begin regular tea-and-talks.
Fred and George give Amaranth the Marauder's Map. She recognizes the names, as Remus had told her about the Marauders, though not their identities. She sneaks into Hogsmeade under her Invisibility Cloak and hears the story of Sirius Black's double-cross from McGonagall. She storms back into Hogwarts and confronts Remus about it. He confirms the story, then apologizes to her for not telling her. He did not want to overshadow their time together with death and betrayal. Lupin warns Amaranth not to sneak out to Hogsmeade without telling him she is doing so, as it's not safe for her to go.
After the Gryffindor-Ravenclaw match, Lupin and Amaranth go to McGonagall, and Amaranth shakily admits that Lockhart sexually abused her the entire previous school year. She also admits that her uncle continued the abuse over the summer. McGonagall takes the Lockhart case to Dumbledore, and agrees to keep the Vernon Dursley part quiet for the moment. McGonagall makes an announcement at dinner that a student has come forward admitting to be a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of Gilderoy Lockhart. She urges anyone else that was a victim to come to either her or their head of house so that they can receive justice. Second-year Luna Lovegood comes forward as one of Lockhart's victims, and she and Amaranth become friends.
Ronald Weasley hears Trelawney make her second true prediction during his Divination exam. That night, Sirius kidnaps Ron and Scabbers, and is followed by Hermione and Amaranth. Amaranth nearly electrocutes him to death, but is stopped by Lupin, who saw Pettigrew on the map. The real story comes out about Pettigrew and Sirius. Sirius offers to let Amaranth live with him once he's cleared. After checking with Remus, she agrees. Amaranth realizes that it's the full moon and Remus hasn't taken his potion. She stuns Pettigrew, has Sirius force him back into his rat form, and has Remus transfigure an Unbreakable jar. She shoves the rat inside, and has carries him while she Levitates Ron and Hermione levitates Snape. They go down the tunnel and leave Lupin to transform in the Shrieking Shack with Sirius in his Animagus form. They take Ron and Snape to the Hospital Wing, then go straight to Dumbledore's office, where Cornelius Fudge still is. They tell their story, with the rat as proof, and Fudge immediately rescinds the Kiss-on-Sight order for Sirius. He takes the rat to Amelia Bones directly, and the DMLE gets the whole story out of him. Sirius turns himself in at the request of the DMLE.
The Hogwarts Express goes back to London. Amaranth is picked up at the train station by Sirius (who has been freed), Remus, and McGonagall. They take her directly to the Little Whinging train station, so Amaranth can give her in-person report about her abuse at the hands of Vernon Dursley. During the questioning, she also admits to physical abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect at the hands of Vernon and Petunia Dursley. The social worker advises that she be removed from their care immediately. Sirius steps up and says that he is her godfather, and he had just started the process of trying to reclaim custody of her after being wrongfully imprisoned. The social worker signs her over to Sirius's custody. She, Sirius, and Remus are staying at a high-end hotel for a few days while they find a proper house. Vernon and Petunia Dursley are arrested. When police try to take Dudley to Marge Dursley, they arrest her as well for cruelty to animals. Dudley goes into foster care. Sirius, Remus, and Amaranth move into Black Manor.
Amaranth Potter and the Goblet of Fire:
Amaranth has her fourteenth birthday. She has a birthday party attended by the Weasleys, the other Gryffindors in her year, Luna Lovegood, Sirius, Remus, Sirius's favorite cousin Andromeda, her husband Ted, and her daughter Nymphadora. Dora brings along Alastor Moody, a former Auror who knew her parents and was James's Auror trainer as well as Dora's. He tells her stories of James. Later that night, Sirius tells Amaranth that James was not her biological father, though he did blood-adopt her. He told her that her parents got very, very drunk on their honeymoon and had a threesome with a man called Meallán Bolt, which is how Amaranth was conceived. He assures her that neither he nor James nor Remus ever loved her any less for not being James's biological daughter.
Amaranth sees Voldemort kill Frank Bryce in a vision and wakes very early. She goes and wakes up Sirius, and tells him what happened. Later that day, Amaranth visits the Weasleys' house to spend the day with them.
The Weasleys, Hermione, Sirius, Remus, and Amaranth go to the Quidditch World Cup. They all have seats for the Top Box. They are sharing a campsite, with Amaranth, Hermione, and Ginny in one tent, and the males in the other. They enjoy the World Cup, meet Viktor Krum, and Sirius decides to invest in the twins' joke shop, with the condition that they finish Hogwarts before opening up a storefront. That night, there is a riot with Death Eaters. Sirius sends Amaranth and the other children to Black Manor using their emergency portkeys. It is later discovered that it was Ron's wand used to cast the Dark Mark, though he obviously did not do it, as he was at Black Manor at the time.
When the Gryffindors have their first DADA lesson with Moody, he teaches the Unforgiveable Curses. Amaranth takes Neville out of the class after giving a sharp warning to Moody that he should have warned that potentially traumatic materials were being taught, and asked if he had permission from the students' guardians to teach them such things. Hermione founds SPEW.
Amaranth's name comes out of the Goblet of Fire. Amaranth pulls out her wand in front of everyone and swears a magical oath that she did not willingly enter the Triwizard Tournament, and that she was entered against her will. When she goes into the side room, she demands that Dumbledore summon Sirius and Remus. McGonagall does so for her. After much debate, it is determined that she cannot be removed from the Tournament. When Rita Skeeter tries to do an article on Amaranth at the Weighing of the Wands, she is forced to interview her with Sirius present, and is warned that the Black family lawyers are on call.
When Hagrid shows Amaranth the dragons, the dragons notice her, even with the Invisibility Cloak, and instantly fall in love with her. Amaranth tells Sirius and Remus that the task is dragons. Amaranth flies against the Hungarian Horntail. She starts the event by telling the dragon what is going on, and that it is a fake egg she is after, and then asks her to help her make it look good. Amaranth receives top points.
Cedric Diggory writes to Sirius asking permission to take Amaranth to the Yule Ball. After discreetly querying Amaranth, Sirius gives Cedric permission to ask Amaranth to the Yule Ball. Amaranth agrees to go with Cedric to the Yule Ball. For the ball, Amaranth receives a gorgeous ball gown and jewelry. The gown is scarlet with silver accents. The jewelry includes a necklace, earrings, and tiara, all in silver with embedded rubies.
When Professor Grubbly-Plank tries to teach about unicorns in the new year, Amaranth refuses to go near them, as they will know she is not a virgin.
Cedric gives Amaranth a clue to the egg. She sees Crouch in Moody's office on the Map. She tells Sirius and Remus about it. She also tells them that she needs to know some way to breathe underwater. Sirius and Remus tell her about gillyweed and promise to get her some.
Amaranth brings in the Dark Detector Moody gave her for her birthday to class to ask Moody what it specifically does. He tells her, then asks who gave it to her. She tells him that Sirius did, then goes straight to McGonagall. McGonagall recruits Flitwick and Snape to go with her to confront Moody. He is defeated, revealed to be Bartemius Crouch, Jr., and the real Moody is rescued. Defense class is cancelled for the next week. Sirius Black is then introduced as the new DADA professor.
Amaranth uses the gillyweed to dive into the lake and rescue Sirius. She is unwilling to leave any of the hostages down there, so she waits. Cedric refuses to leave her down there, so he waits with her until Krum takes his hostage and it is obvious that Fleur is not coming. They go up together with Sirius, Mrs. Diggory, and Gabrielle Delacour. Due to their "moral fiber", they are given extra points, leaving Amaranth in first place and Cedric tying with Krum.
Rita publishes an article in Witch Weekly about Gilderoy Lockhart, and specifically names Amaranth as one of his victims. Amaranth hides in Sirius's rooms all day. When Amaranth is finally convinced to leave Sirius' rooms, she receives her first mail about the incident, mostly sympathetic letters, though there are some that call her a whore and accuse her of "defaming the name of a good man". She goes back to hide in Sirius's rooms for another couple days. The teachers let her. Cedric goes to Sirius, since he still can't find Amaranth, and asks him to tell her that he still loves her and what happened to her was not her fault, and he doesn't blame her for anything. She is listening, and steps out to talk to him. Their talk helps Amaranth to come out of hiding.
When Bagman tells the Champions what the first task is, Krum asks to speak with Amaranth, but Cedric won't let her go alone. Crouch, Sr. appears on the grounds, apparently insane. Amaranth stuns him and levitates him to the Hospital Wing, guarded by Krum and Cedric.
During the third task, Voldemort is resurrected and Amaranth watches her boyfriend die.
When the Hogwarts Express returns to London, Amaranth is picked up by Sirius, Remus, Tonks, and Moody, who escort her to the newly Fidelius-ed Grimmauld Place for her protection. She is informed that the Weasleys will be there in a few days.

At the Welcome Feast, Dolores Umbridge is introduced as Ministerial oversight. She gives Amaranth detention in the first DADA class for claiming that Voldemort has returned. Amaranth has her first detention with Umbridge, who uses a blood quill on her. She goes straight to Sirius, who goes straight to the woman and threatens her if she ever uses a blood quill on a student again. Sirius sends copies of the evidence to Remus, along with a letter from himself to send to Amelia Bones if things get bad. Umbridge cancels the rest of Amaranth's detentions.

Amaranth, Hermione, and the Weasleys visit Mr. Weasley in St. Mungo's. Amaranth, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny see Neville and the Longbottoms there. They also see Lockhart, who calls Amaranth "pretty girl", which causes a panic attack, as that was what he called her when he raped her.
Amaranth narrowly wins the Gryffindor-Hufflepuff Quidditch game (250-240).
The Defense Association is discovered. Instead of Amaranth being expelled, Sirius withdraws her from Hogwarts. He takes her back to Remus at Grimmauld Place. Tonks is also living there, as it is safer than her flat. Sirius continues as the Defense teacher.

After dinner, Sirius and Remus inform Amaranth that Sirius is pregnant, and they are going to move back to Black Manor for the duration of the pregnancy, leaving Grimmauld Place to her if she needs a safe spot.
The trio goes to Godric's Hollow. They visit James and Lily's graves and visit Bathilda Bagshot, who is actually Nagini. They escape, but Amaranth's wand breaks. Thankfully, due to Sirius and Remus, she has a backup, though it does not work quite as well for her. The trio relocates to the Forest of Dean.
