Chapter 10: Lessons on Lying
Amelia Fason's POV:
That morning at breakfast, I stirred my porridge, slowly. I kept my gaze locked on the bowl of porridge.
" Amy? Are you okay? " a voice asked, softly.
" Yes...I'm fine, Lil. " I told Lily and smiled weakly.
" Are you sure? You do look really pale, " Lily asked me, concerned.
" Yes...I'm s-sure, " I lied.
Actually, I'm not okay! James called me a mudblood! How can I be okay! Why must I lie to my only best friend?
these were questions that were swirling around in my mind.
" It's Cherry, Amy! " Lily nudged me.
" Cherry? " I echoed and looked up at the ceiling. There she was heading towards me. Cherry landed with such
grace and stuck out her left leg. A parcel as well as a letter was from my Mum.
" Thank you, Cherry! " I told her, gratefully and fed her some cereal. She nipped my finger eagerly and took off.
I quickly tore open the letter, first and began to read.
My Dearest Amy,
I'm so sorry to send a letter to you for the last past month as I was terribly busy with
my designing and stuff. I also had to nurse your owl as her wings were sprained because of the long
journey from there to here. Well...I know who you're talking about... Sirius Black! am I right?!
Well...I have a very good feeling that Sirius wasn't the one who had sent you that letter! Some else must
have! Maybe to play a trick on you...
My mind instantly went to James Potter. (If you don't know, my mother works as a designer for some
Company) I continue reading...
I sent you an early Christmas present as I'm going to Russia for some designing of some dresses for the
princess! Can't you believe it? I nearly fainted when the letter came. The princess wrote it herself!!! And
there's another thing. I'm really sorry to say that you have to spend Christmas at Hogwarts.
Your mother,
Judith
What! I have to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas!
Next, I gently unwrapped the package and in it was a beautiful blue and white crystal necklace.
" Wow! " Lily gazed enviously at the necklace. " Your mother must be a very rich person to have sent you a
gift like this! "
" Lily! " I pretended to blush. " You're embarrassing me in front of everyone! "
Sirius Black:
He was still not talking to James Potter because of the incident. Every now and then, James shot him dirty looks
but he chose to ignore them all.
I have to tell it to her today, he muttered as he pushed the plate of cereal away. Dread filled the pit of his
stomach. He couldn't eat as his mind kept wandering over to Amelia. He now knew that he was totally in love
with her. He sighed wearily.
This is taking to long! he told himself, impatiently. I'll catch her when she's alone.
" Sirius? " Remus Lupin asked him.
" Huh? " he snapped his up, his eyes all glassy.
" What's the matter with you, today? " Remus asked him. " It's the first time I've ever seen you miss
breakfast! "
" Oh...that, uh, well. I'm just not feeling well, " Sirius lied.
" Maybe you should just go to the hospital wing. "
" No...I just don't want to miss classes, that's all " he lied. Another lie.
This is turning into a nightmare! He thought, frantically to himself as he continued to give silly explanation.
" Exams around the corner, y'know " he told Remus. Yet another lie!
" Exams? Around the corner! " Remus echoed.
" Yeah. "
" Sirius, I absolutely think that you are unwell. Really sick! Exams like six months away! " Remus studied
his face. " You are hiding something from me. "
" Hiding something from you? You must be crazy! Why would I hide anything from my friends? " Sirius
forced a laugh.
" Because you told me yourself that you're always so lazy and don't even bother about exams " Remus answered
seriously.
That tears it! I really need lessons on lying, Sirius thought.
" Uh...well, I-I-I've got to go. I forgot something, " Sirius stuttered as he pushed back his chair.
