I don't own Harry Potter

Snow blanketed the grounds of Hogwarts. Christmas was upon them and the air of the castle seemed to hold even more magic than usual. "I mean really we should try and find out who Flemel is at least." Ron said.

"No." Aimee shook her head. I promised Professor Snape I wouldn't go looking for answers and I won't."

"Oh admit it you're just as curious as I am." Ron looked across the table at her.

"Of course I am but I don't want to but myself or any of you in danger."

"Fine." Ron scowled stabbing his pancake with his fork. "Oh by the way we're staying here for Christmas I guess my mom and dad decided to go to Romania to see Charlie."

"That means I'll have someone with me. "You are still going home right Mione?"

"Yeah I'm going sking but if you do find anything out about Flemel because its you and you do end up stumbling on things please do owl me."

"You know I can't keep a secret from you of course I'd owl. Neville still spending Christmas with your Gran."

"Yeah I'm the only family she has I feel I owe it to her to come home for the holiday."

"Understandable I wish I had family." Aimee said wistfully.

"You have us and aren't we just adorable." Fred and George plopped their heads on their fists and they slide into a seat next to Hermione.

"Can I trade you I heard you're older brothers were great." She teased.

"I'm wounded aren't you wounded dear Gred." George put a hand over his heart trying to act wounded.

"Oh yes Forge I can't believe our dear Aimee's affections are that fleeting."

"And I thought what we had together was special." George wiped a fake tear from his face.

Aimee rolled her eyes. "Dream on boys."

"Oh I Will." George winked causing Aimee to pull a face.

Two days later Aimee was standing waving as the carriage with Neville and Hermione pulled away from the castle.

"Now I have you at my Mercy." George whispered behind her.

"You're creepy." She walked away sure they'd shared a moment at Halloween but George Weasley still did and would forever get on her nerves. As she fell asleep on Christmas Eve the only one in the dorm room she thought how nice it would be to be with friends but she didn't expect any presents. So in the morning when she woke up to a pile at the foot of her bed she was ecstatic if not a bit apprehensive.

"Aimee Come down stairs." Ron's shout could be heard throughout all of Gryffindor tower.

"I'll be right down." Amethyst gathered her presents into her arms trying not to drop any and made her way slowly down the stairs

She met Ron's beaming face at the bottom. "Good you brought your presents lets open them in front of the fire."

"Shouldn't we wait from your brothers?"

"Oh you're probably right." Ron looked around the Common Room if they're still asleep I'm going to kick their butts."

"No you're not and here they come now." She pointed towards the stairs where a pair of beaming twins and a disgruntled Percy were coming down the stairs.

"Finally." Ron through his hands up in the air like he'd been waiting forever instead of ten minutes.

" Lets get down to this present opening." Fred rubbed his hands together gleefully." Aimee carefully picked up her first present and pulled the paper away to reveal a flute hand carved and note saying it was from Hagrid. She also received some Chocolate Frogs from Hermione and some Bertie Botts beans from Ron. The twins present wasn't as pleasant she opened it and out popped a puff of Blue Smoke the next thing she knew everyone was on the floor laughing.

"Ok What is is what did you two do?"

"You're….. hair… is…. Purple." Ron got out between a fit of laughter.

"That's fine that's just great but I'd watch you're backs if I were you." Aimee had a steely look in her eyes that even scared the twins.

"I'd run." Ron advised.

"Good plan and before Amiee could say boo they were out of there. Percy also left something about a Prefects meeting but Aimee didn't really buy that. She was down to Three presents one was a book of plants from Neville. She shook her head fondly oh Neville and his plants. The second one was a hand knitted sweater from Mrs. Weasley and some homemade fudge which Amiee loved but Ron found embarrassing.

"Why I think its lovely the cool blue will look great on me." She held up the light blue sweater admiring it and unknowingly putting Ron at ease as he always worried what his friends would think about his family's lack of money. "So then what is this?" Aimee picked up the last package and carefully opened it. A silvery material flowed from the package picking it up she realized it was a cloak. A tiny letter fell out of the folds.

"Your father left this in my care before he died use it well."

"what is it?" Ron asked

"I don't know." Aimee threw it over her shoulders as Ron gasped.

"An invisibility cloak Whoa those are rare."

Aimee took it off and cradled it in her arms. Had it really belonged to her father and if so who would have had it when he died and why were they giving it to her now. She folded it carefully and put it with the rest of her presents. Stowed away in her trunk. Something she would cherish but which was almost two painful to look at.

"Lets go down to the feast I'm famished."

"Hey that's my line." Ron yelled following her out the portrait hole. Amiee snorted.

"Whatever you say Ron." They made their way to the Great hall but neither of them noticed Dumbledore's eyes on Aimee as she piled her plate with all the good Christmas foods that surrounded her. She'd never get sick of Hogwarts food and she had to laugh because the Twins were cowering at the end of the table clearly afraid of her even though her hair was back to its natural red color.

Albus watched the girl as she interacted with her friends. The way her eyes sparkled and she laughed well throwing glares at the Weasley twins. Albus wondered what they did to earn that treatment. He wondered what Aimee thought of the cloak and how he could get her to use it to find the mirror she had to find the mirror if she'd didn't find and understand the mirror his whole plain was going to go down the drain. As much as he cared for Amethyst Potter she had a purpose and that purpose was to defeat Voldemort once and for all and he would see that she did but first he had to get her trust and get her in front of that mirror.

A/N sorry for the very long wait. Anyway next up the mirror she finds it but obviously not the way she does in the book What does Albus have up his sleeve I'm sure its nothing good.
