'Saving' James
Amelia exited the coffee shop with her take away cup in hand and began to walk down the street. It had been a quiet few weeks for the Order which could only mean that Voldemort was planning something and, whatever it was, it couldn't be good. Amelia always felt on edge when enemy activity was low.
As she turned the corner, the cold winter wind blew the stray strands of hair that framed her face. She huffed loudly and tucked them back behind her ears.
Amelia looked both ways before crossing the road, opting to walk through the park back to Order Headquarters, rather than Apparating. Despite of having a hatred for the cold weather, Amelia was fond of walking; it helped to clear her mind and see things clearer. She hoped this walk would help her figure out what Voldemort was planning. There had to be a reason for the lack of activity… they were missing something obvious.
Out of the corner of her eye, Amelia saw a man get thrown across the park. Her head whipped to the right and she saw a cloaked person advancing over the man with a raised wand.
Amelia drained her coffee and threw the cup into the bin, and approached the scene before her whilst she searched for her wand. She went through every pocket before stopping dead in her tracks… she didn't have her wand with her. Amelia couldn't believe her stupidity.
How could she have left Headquarters without her wand?
Amelia threw her head into her hands as she tried to think of a way to help this poor, defenceless man. There was only one thing that she could think of, but it would mean exposing her ability to the other side.
She closed her eyes and cleared her mind before leaping forward, landing on all fours. She moved her front paw back and forth, using her new and improved vision to zone in on her prey.
She inhaled deeply through her nose before running towards the Death Eater and pinning him to the ground. Amelia made sure to place her entire weight on the Death Eater as she turned towards the man he had been attacking to urge him to leave.
Her eyes widened when she realised that this man was James Potter, who was now pointing his own wand at the Death Eater.
"Thank you, Amelia," he said as ropes leapt from his wand and incarcerated him.
Amelia backed off the Death Eater as she transformed back into her human form.
"You're welcome," she answered, walking over to James and kissing him tenderly.
"You know I could have taken him, right?" James asked. "I had him where I wanted him."
"Of course you did," Amelia laughed, placing her arm around James' waist. "Shall we take this one back to Headquarters for interrogation?"
"You took the words right out of my mouth," James answered, grabbing the Death Eater and twisting on the spot, and taking them back to Headquarters.
