Family problems, New Love and New life

Disclaimer; I own none of the fabulous Harry Potter characters, nor do I own any of the Buffy/Angel characters, storylines or ideas that I have BORROWED from both these fabulous and amazing people, J.K Rowling, and Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy. I only own the plot and a few minor characters.

A big huge thanks to my beta guy GusMan! Thanks gussygoose, you made it easy to write. And to all those that read this story, I hope you enjoy it!

And now a big thanks to all my friends! Thanks guys, you are my rock! So a big thank you to all the Yr11 outcasts at WSHS!

And now, on with the Chapter 4 !

Ok, those of you who haven't guessed who it is, well….I won't tell you! But if you wanna know who it is, then I suggest you read onwards!

Ok, herrreeeeeeeee we goooooooooooo!

They started walking up the stair before either spoke. Amelia spoke first.

"You wanted to know how I survived Avada Kedavra. Don't you Harry." She said.

"Yeah. How did you know?"
"Same reason as you."
"Oh."

"I'll go first. It happened about 3 weeks ago. Still feel queasy sometimes. Think it might be an after effect or something. That's why I act quiet and shy. Makes people leave me alone. I was out slaying. There were rumors of a new master in town. I naturally assumed it was a demon."

"That about sums him up." Harry said, smiling at a portrait as they passed.

"Suppose so. Anyways, I should have realized how dangerous it was when the bodies started appearing. They were a mix of demons and humans. All half breed demons though. I gathered as much info as I could. It wasn't much. Evil, kills you but only after torturing you, strong, magical energy. That was all I could get. Even the really dangerous demons were running out of town because of this guy. Should have followed their example. One night I decided it was time to put a stop to it. Worst mistake I ever made. Only reason I'm still alive is because of Hecate. Bless her. She's a goddess. A very powerful one too. See, I can do both wand AND wand-less magic. Wiccan magic can be learnt by anyone really, but it helps if your parents did it. My mom did. It's a form of wand-less magic. I was only just able to concoct a shield before the green light hit me. But the shield wasn't designed to block such a powerful and deadly spell, so it still hit me. I think the only reason it held at all was because I'm a direct descendent of Merlin. He was the only wizard ever to have unlimited power in both wand and wand-less magic. And Guinevere was a wiccan. Even though there are, or were really, heaps of others in the family before me, I'm the first one since Merlin that can actually do it with out a whole pile of training first. It isn't easy you know. Learning and teaching yourself. So how about you Harry. How did you survive?"

By this time they had reached the astronomy tower. They both sat down and looked at the blanket of stars over-head.

"I was only a year old." Harry said.

Amelia looked on in silence.

"My mum and dad and I were living in Godric's Hollow. Voldemort had found out where we were. H killed my Dad first. Then turned his wand on me. Mum didn't let him. She died protecting me. He cast the curse on me next. But it didn't work. My mum's love was more powerful than a curse. Still is in fact. It rebounded and hit him instead. He disappeared, and I wound up with this scar." He lifted his fringe and revealed a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead.

Both were silent.

"I guess we should head back. They'll all be wondering where we are." Amelia said, standing up and brushing non-existent dirt off her behind.

"Yeah." Harry said, following suit.

"Lead the way Harry. You know where you're going. I have no idea where I'm going." Amelia said.

"Ok." Harry said, heading down the staircases.

"This place is huge. How do you remember where you're going all the time?" Amelia said in awe.

Harry laughed. "You get used to it. Just be careful. The staircases like to move, and then there's the odd trick step that isn't really there. But other than that, once you know where your classes are, it isn't hard to remember where to go. Well, this is me." Harry said when they reached a very large portrait of a very large lady in pink. "I'll see you tomorrow Amelia?"

"Sure thing Harry! Goodnight!" she said as she hopped down the remaining 5 floors of staircases and skipped off in the direction on the dungeons.

"Where's Wally." Harry said to the Fat Lady.

"Righteo dearie." She said, swinging forwards to accommodate him.

Harry walked into the common room and looked for Ron and Hermione.

"Harry! Harry over here!"

Harry looked around to see Ron and Hermione sitting at one of the study tables in the corner of the room. He walked over to them and sat down.

"Well? How'd it go?" Ron asked curiously.

Harry motioned them in closer and told them in a hurried whisper, what Amelia had told him. What surprised him when he had finished, was that Hermione had added in parts of the story, and what had happened before that.

"How did you know all that?" Harry asked her.

"The library. There are over 50 books on her family! There's even an entire one that tells you ALL their names and what they mean! I got that one out. It really is fascinating. Here look."

Hermione placed a book almost as thick as 'Hogwarts, A history' in front of them.

"Hermione! Do we really need to see this?" Ron whined.

Hermione just frowned and ignored him and opened the book to a certain page, right near the back. All three crowded around the book. The last name on the page was Amelia-James Lucius Draco Hecate Jessamin O'Conner.

"Wow! That's a really long name!" Ron said.

Hermione pointed to the names above Amelia's. There were 4 of them.

(s)(des) Ariana Riddle-Draconis M James O'Conner (des)

(b)(div) Andrew Hades Riddle-Draconis M Eliza Snape (div)

"So that's how she's related to Snape. By her uncle's marriage!" Ron said happily.

Hermione went to flick through the pages but Harry stopped her.

"What is it Harry?" she asked, puzzled by why Harry had stopped her.

Harry pointed to the page.

The wording had changed. It now read;

Ariana Riddle-Draconis

Ariana- Queen of Atalantia. Friend to all unicorns be they white or black, red or blue. Has the ability to become a unicorn. And any animal she wishes. Able to talk to all animals, no matter if they are dragons or mice. Ariana is a direct descendant of Merlin and her daughter, Amelia, has the powers of all.

Andrew Hades Riddle-Draconis

Hades- God of the Underworld. Brother to Zeus. A jealous man is Hades. He has a very short, if ever existent, temper, and is as sly as a snake when he wants something. Beware, put no trust in him, as he cares only for power, and will stop at nothing to get it.

The words disappeared when the trio finished reading them.

"So Amelia's mother was named after another descendent of Merlin. And so was Amelia. And her uncle was named after the god of the underworld. Wow. Freaky family." Ron said.

"Yeah. Hang on. She said she was the FIRST one in her family since Merlin himself, to be able to do limitless wand-less magic." Harry said.

"So what?" Ron asked, the answer not even registering.

"Ariana's daughter was said to be the most powerful witch of all. But, how do we know that Amelia was named after her? What she is THAT Amelia? What if her mother really WAS the Queen of Atalantia?" Harry said seriously.

Ron and Hermione looked at each other, and then turned back to Harry.

"Only one way to find out." Hermione said.

Sorry! Next chappy contains who Amelia's secret person is! If ya wanna praise section, then ya better hurry!
