Chapter 4: A Bit Fairytale

~ AMY ~

Amelia followed Tonks through the hallways towards the kitchen to help Molly with dinner. As soon as they entered, a frantic Molly whipped around to see who came in.

"Amelia! Good, you can help me make dinner! Eleven other people in this house besides me right now and no one can stop in to help with as little as stirring a pot! Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and the twins are upstairs doing Merlin knows what! And Arthur is busy speaking about the Order with Remus and Sirius! Tonks! You can help with..." Molly's eyes fell on Tonks and frowned. "Well Tonks, dear, you can just go keep an eye on that pot over there." Tonks' wide smile fell, knowing Molly was giving her that easy task because she was so clumsy.

Molly guided Amelia over to a turkey, allowing her to carve it. "Molly, can't we just use magic so that everything is done right away? It would be so much easier." Molly gave a sigh. "You know my rules, Amelia. No magic in my kitchen!"

Tonks looked over towards them "Technically, Molly, this is Sirius' kitchen."

Molly shot Tonks a stern look, making her turn to look back at the pot she had been assigned to. Suddenly, two heads popped in through the doorway. One with long ginger, matching Amelia's; the other with bushy brown hair reaching down to her shoulders.

"Hermione! Ginny! Are you two here to help with dinner?" Molly's face lit up at the sight of the two young girls now in the kitchen.

"Actually, mum, we came for Amelia."

"Yeah, Mrs. Weasley. We just wanted to see if Amelia would like to come hang out with the rest of us upstairs." Once again, Molly's smile faded away quickly. "Yes well, go on Amelia. Tonks and I should be able to handle dinner for twelve."

Amelia put down the knife she was using to carve the turkey and followed Hermione and Ginny out of the room.

"You owe us now, Amelia. We usually don't save people from mum." Ginny laughed as she hugged Amelia. "I don't believe you two have met," said Ginny as she released Amelia, "Amelia, this is Hermione Granger. She's your age like Ron and Harry. She's starting her fifth year at Hogwarts this year. Hermione, this is Amelia Pond. She lives here with Tonks and she's very close with all of the Weasley's. We've known her for eight years."

Hermione and Amelia shook hands. "It's nice to meet you, Amelia. I've heard so much about you from Ron, Ginny, and the twins. Well, mostly Ginny and the twins. Well, more the twins than Ginny...and Fred talks about you more than George."

Amelia was quiet for a moment before responding. She felt a blush creeping up her cheeks; due to the fact she just heard that Fred had talked about her more than any of the other Weasley's. "It's nice to meet you, too. Ron and Ginny talk about you a lot. But mostly Ron." Amelia saw Hermione blush slightly, just as she had a moment ago.

"Should we start heading upstairs?" Ginny broke the silence. Amelia figured this was because Ginny didn't want to see her two best friends drooling over the thought of her brothers. Amelia followed Ginny and Hermione up the stairs to Harry and Ron's room.

There were eight bedrooms in total for the occupants of Grimmauld Place: One occupied by Ron and Harry, another by Fred and George, another for Hermione and Ginny, one for Amelia, one each for Remus, Sirius, and Tonks, and the last for Arthur and Molly. Of course, not all the bedrooms were occupied all the time. The Weasley's would end up going back to the Burrow once the school year started, Harry and Hermione would be going back to their houses after their year at Hogwarts, and Remus had his own place to stay. The only permanent residents of Grimmauld Place, for now, were Sirius (seeing as it was his house), Tonks, and Amelia.

Sirius had only come back to Grimmauld Place this summer to be closer to Harry, but Amelia had been here with Tonks the past eight years since she left her aunt in Leadworth.

Hermione, Ginny, and Amelia reached Harry and Ron's room. They entered to find Harry on his bed reading a book, Fred and George sitting on Ron's bed talking about Skiving Snackboxes, and Ron lying on the floor because the twins were on his bed.

"Look who we just rescued from mum," Ginny announced as they walked in. Ron looked up for a second but then laid back down because he already said 'hello' to Amelia downstairs. Harry did the same, looking up from his book, and then looking back down. But the twins jumped up off of Ron's bed and pulled Amelia into a huge hug.

"Amelia!" they yelled.

"Where have you been?" spoke Fred.

"I told you, Hermione and I just rescued her from mum in the kitchen." They twins released Amelia and looked at their sister.

"So sorry, Ginny, we'll listen next time," George spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Well, I was with Harry and Ron when you two apparated in and took Harry." Amelia was a bit annoyed that they didn't even notice she was there earlier. "I thought you would've at least seen me there."

"Sorry Amelia." (George)

"Yeah. We Just wanted Hermione and Ginny to stop talking about Harry as soon as we could." (Fred)

"They just wouldn't stop." (George)

"If we weren't in such a rush, we would've stopped and looked around. But at that moment, we were focused solely on delivering Harry to Hermione and Ginny." (Fred)

Amelia looked back and forth between the twins as they spoke. She was always able to tell the twins apart. 'A gift' is what Molly called it, seeing as she couldn't tell her own sons apart.

"I guess I can forgive you guys. What would I do without my favourite twins?"

"We'd probably take away your Weasley Products discount." Fred chuckled.

Ron now sat up, entering the conversation. "How come Amelia gets a discount. You said no one was allowed a discount."

"That's where you're wrong little brother," George answered. "We said 'we don't allow discounts to anyone in Hogwarts.' Amelia doesn't go to Hogwarts." Harry finally closed his book to join everyone. "Again, Amelia, why does Tonks think Hogwarts is too dangerous for you, yet every other witch and wizard has to go to school?"

"She has special per—" Ginny was cut off.

"Ginny! You know you're not supposed to talk about that!" Fred's face was red with anger. He was overreacting, but he was right. There was a reason Amelia didn't go to Hogwarts or any school for that matter.

"It's alright Fred, don't get upset. Sorry, Harry. I'm not allowed to talk to anyone about that."

"It's alright, Amelia, but how come the Weasley's know the reason and I can't?"

"Well, Harry," Hermione spoke for the first time since entering the room, "they have known her a lot longer than we have. Also, she has the right to keep stuff from you. You just met her and you don't need to know everything about her."

There was an awkward silence, everyone was standing at this point. Amelia was still standing by the door, and Fred and Hermione looked as if they were trying to protect her from the rest of the people in the room.

"Sorry Amelia." Harry broke the silence. "Is there any chance you heard what they were talking about while you were down there?"

"You mean Sirius and everyone in the drawing room?" Harry nodded his head. "No, but I think I know a way we can." Amelia turned towards Fred and George. "Do you guys have any Extendable Ears with you?"

George smiled. "We never go anywhere without them."

The walked into the hallway, and George slowly dropped the Extendable Ear down the stairs. The voices they heard through the ear were almost muffled, any they almost couldn't understand them.

Sirius' voice came first. "If anyone has a right to know it's Harry. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't even know Voldemort was back. He's not a child, Molly!"

"He's not an adult either. He's not James, Sirius!"

"He's not your son!"

"He's as good as. Who else has he got?"

"He's got me!"

"How touching and paternal, Black. Perhaps Potter will grow up to be a felon, just like his godfather." The next voice was one that Amelia knew to be the voice of Severus Snape. The Potions professor at Hogwarts.

"Snape's part of the Order?" Harry asked. Everyone except Amelia was confused and surprised. She, herself, was part of the Order and knew Snape was a member. But she didn't feel as if they needed to know that.

They continued listening through the Ear, and Sirius spoke again. "I don't care what Dumbledore says about your supposed reformation, I know better."

"Why don't you tell him? Or are you afraid he won't take serious the word of a man hiding in his mother's house?"

But at that moment, static was heard through the Ear. Everyone looked downstairs to see Hermione's cat, Crookshanks, playing with the other Ear.

"Bad Crookshanks!" Hermione whispered. "Stop! Bad Crookshanks!"

"I hate your cat, Hermione," Ron spoke as the seven of them made their way back to Harry and Ron's room. Amelia was behind everyone else and had Fred walking next to her. "When are you gonna tell Harry, Amelia?" Fred whispered as they walked up the stairs. "Tell him what? I'm keeping so many secrets from him right now." Fred chuckled softly and made his signature smirk. "The secret that you're a part of the Order? Or are yo never going to tell him?"

"I'll tell him eventually, Fred. Don't worry. I'll tell him when the time is right." They walked into the room and Amelia sat on the floor in between Fred and Ginny. Harry and George were now sitting on Harry's bed, Ron was sitting on his own bed, and Hermione was sitting across from Ginny.

"Amelia? Is there another name we can call you now that you're all grown up?" Fred broke the silence and everyone looked at him. "I've known you for eight years now, and you're not that little girl from Leadworth anymore. The name 'Amelia.' It's a bit fairytale, don't you think? 'Amelia Pond.' Like a name from a fairytale."

"He's right you know," Ginny spoke up, "you really aren't the same person you were eight years ago. You're a lot braver now, and more confident. You're not the scared girl you used to be."

"What about 'Melia'? Short for Amelia?" Harry suggested.

"How about 'Millie'?" George recommended.

"I like 'Amy'." A voice came from the doorway. Everyone turned around to see Sirius Black leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed.

"Sirius!" Harry ran over and gave his godfather a hug. "Easy, Harry. I'm not as strong as I used to be."

Harry let go of Sirius and walked back over to his bed. "So what do you think of the name 'Amy'?" Everyone turned towards Amelia, waiting for her answer.

"Yeah. Amy's the one."
