Chapter 11- Amy

Lily ran into Dumbledore's office to find Dumbledore talking to and old man, when she entered they both looked up at her and Dumbledore smiled

"Ahhh, Lily, please, sit down" he said, and Lily noticed that the usual twinkle in his eyes had gone out.

"What's wrong sir" Lily asked, sitting in a squishy purple armchair

"There has been an attack, on a muggle family"

"That's awful, but I'm afraid I don't understand, why am I here?"

"I was coming to that, you see, they had a daughter who was a muggle born witch who survived the attack, I was wondering, I know that you are a very caring student, would you be able to look after this girl, until she is old enough to attend Hogwarts permanently"

"Are you serious professor?"

"Deadly, she is six years of age and waiting in the kitchen"

"Oh, shall I go find her then"

"That would be wonderful, be warned, she was very upset when I left her"

Lily bade goodbye to Dumbledore and his companion and ran off to the kitchens.

As she entered she immediately saw a young girl sitting at one of the tables with her head in her arms, crying.

"Are you ok" Lily asked quietly. The little girl jumped and looked at Lily.

She wiped the tears from her eyes and whispered.

"Are you Lily" Lily smiled at the girl,

"I am what's your name?"

"I'm Amy"

Lily smiled again and sat down

"Do you know what's going to happen to me?" Amy asked

"Yep, you are going to stay in my dorm until you are ten, then you can attend Hogwarts permanently"

"You mean I can do magic like that old fella did"

"If you learn how"

"Cool" Amy smiled, then burst back into tears

"Hey sweetie, what's wrong" Lily said, rushing over to Amy and giving her a cuddle. "I shouldn't be happy" Amy sobbed

"Why not?"

"My whole family died because of me"

"NO" said Lily firmly, "if Voldemort was after them then he would have done this no matter what"

"But that man said it was my fault"

"Who"

"The man who killed them"

"Hey look at me" Amy raised her tearstained face to look at Lily

"That man is evil, he just wanted to make you feel bad, take my word for it, and you are not to blame"

"Promise" Amy said, a hopeful look in her eyes

"I promise" Lily said firmly.

Amy smiled at Lily, and Lily smiled back before leading Amy up to show Amy her room.

As they were waling up some stairs, hand in hand Lily herd a voice in her head.

'Lils, Lily where the heck are you'

'I'm going up to my room now, why'

'We have been searching for you every where, where were you'

'I had to go see Dumbledore, listen I've got a six year old girl with me whose whole family was killed by Voldemort, she is gunna be staying with us until she is old enough to attend Hogwarts permanently, so BE NICE'

'Whoa, the poor thing, bring her up to the your room and we will meet you there'

'Sweet, thanks, oh, can you tall Serenity to meet me there'

'Sure, cya'

"Lily, where are we going" Amy asked

"To my room, where you can meet some of my friends"

Amy stopped, "What if they don't like me"

"Who couldn't like you" Lily smiled.

And together hand in hand, they entered the common room and a new chapter of their lives.
