Chapter 12: Secret Christmas Angels

Amelia Fason's POV:

" Hi Lil! " I greeted my best friend with a wide smile.

" Hi, Amy! " Lily replied back and flashed me another big smile in return.

" So you're ready? " I asked her as I sat down beside her.

" Yup! " Lily instantly answered. " Are you? "

" No, I don't think I'm ready, " I answered with a slight tremble in my voice.

" Maybe you'll get Sirius as your Christmas Angel " Lily assured me.

" I hope so, " I sighed deeply.

Maybe not, a voice in my mind echoed.

" I have a feeling that Sirius will be yours, " Lily whispered in my ear as Professor McGonagall strode into

the classroom.

" Thanks, " I whispered back as McGonagall magically conjured up a scroll of parchment.

" Now, class...when I call your name, you will meet me in the back room. " she pointed a room behind her.

Sirius Black:

" Sirius Black! " Professor McGonagall called out.

His eyes widened with surprise.

What! SO SOON! he screamed to himself as he got up from his chair.

He looked over at Amelia.

For a moment their eyes locked but then she broke it by smiling encouragingly at him.

Her smile was just enough for his body to be all rigid and cold. He eyed the room nervously again.

Pleaseeee another smile. Another smile, Amelia! Your smile is my guiding star! he silently prayed.

Then, by luck, Amelia turned her head and smiled at him. This time a big, wide, childish smile.

This smile was the key to his confidence as he started to walk towards the room thinking of nothing except

Amelia's face and her childish smile.

Amelia Fason's POV:

" Lily Evans! " Professor McGonagall called.

Her face paled after a few seconds and she struggled to get up from her chair.

" You'll do just fine, " I told her gently. She nodded her head and made her way towards the back room.

I sat there fidgeting with my Basilisk bracelet, nervously. I knew it was my turn next.

I wonder who will be my Christmas Angel? I asked myself.

" Amelia Fason! " the Divination teacher called. My heart sped up. I got up from my chair and made my way to

the back door.

" Good luck to you. I know you'll need it, " Lily whispered to me as we passed by each other.

" Yeah, sure thanks. " I whispered back with a slight tremble in my voice. I kept my fingers crossed as soon as

I entered the room.

It was small cramp room with a desk and two old fashioned chairs.

" Good morning, Professor! " I greeted her.

" Oh, good morning, Amelia, " she gave me a small smile and motioned me to sit down.

" So, you are the new student. " McGonagall started.

I gulped and managed to answer her.

" Okay, now let me see, " she referred to a scroll of parchment which lay on the table beside her. " Your

secret angel is...Sirius Black. "

I felt a smile on my lips.

" Thank you, Professor. "

" Oh, yes. You're welcome. " she replied with a small glint in her eyes. I got up and was about to start for the

door when she called me again.

" Amelia, I think you're the only one Sirius Black truly likes, " Professor said and winked at me. I felt my

knees go weak and trembly as soon as I heard the sentence passed from McGonagall's lips. I managed a small

but weak smile as I left the room.
