Ok, the letter at the end is part of a song; I just can't remember which one, I think it's "Time" or "Mirror" by Ne-yo.
Chapter Seven: Silent Slumber
"My Lady, what happened?" Head Master Gryffindor inquired.
"Ah yes, well I might as well start from the beginning. It's a story about love that shouldn't have happened. Let see how do old fairy tales start. Once long ago in a fair land…" as Amelia carried on into the story.
(July 1977)
"Are you sure I shouldn't have worn a gown or something?" The girl asked impudently.
"No, you look beautiful, don't worry you're a Pure-Blood they're not going to kill you. Plus, Amelia, your house is one of the oldest house in the entire magic realm. But if you value your life don't mention muggles, unless you're bashing them." Sirius said arrogantly. Amelia rolled her eyes and copied Sirius by lifting her cape up on to her head.
Both stood silently in front of the closed door, Sirius rang the door bell. The chime cut harshly through the queit black night. The door opened and Sirius beckoned her in. He closed the door behind them and they made their way into the formal living room. Amelia marked it as an over dressed and stuffed pureblood attempted at baroque. The curtains hung heavily from the rod, candles were strewn everywhere around the room, making the cold wizards sitting in two over stuffed wing backed chairs, look even more fritting. Sirius spoke steadily with his parents, while Amelia hid behind in the shadows. Regulus came bounding down the cherry wood stairs, and into the dark living room. He saw his family then turned to see Mia, he looked at her weirdly and spoke bitterly cold to her.
"Dumbledore, what the God's name are you doing here?" he asked.
"What does it matter to you, Black? You don't own this place.She scowled at him
"This is my house. I have more right to be here then you do"
"Not really. They own the place." Amelia said pointing to lord and lady black.
"ENOUGH!" Yelled Lady Black.
"I'm sorry" Whispered, Amelia
"Amelia, you're a guest in this household you get one free ticket. Regulus on the other hand, you have some explaining to do about why you're yelling at a higher class wizard then yourself."
"Ha! She likes me better." Thought Amelia
(Mid July 1977)
"How dare you say that about my mother, you lying, hateful, brute, and how dare you disown Sirius!" Shrieked Amelia. Amelia was pissed at Lady Black for letting her son run away, and now Amelia had no idea where he was. She had enough with this woman, and it was time for some Marauders magic. With a wave of her hand, Lady Black was wrapped in a gold frame, and a glass mirror and flattened. Amelia smiled at herself as her eyes twinkled. She levitated the painting down to the first floor and hung it by the door. Lady Black just kept on screaming. Amelia rubbed her temples, in hopes of stopping the persistent pain.
"Ok, that's it, Si-Lin-Cee-O!" She howled toward the painting as white magic blew from her fingers tips. She thought of how much anger she was going to have in about to 20 years when the spell wore off and she dreadfully bad for the poor fools who would encounter it. Amelia laughed thinking of the poor wizard who would have to open the door and be greeted by Mama Black screaming at them.

"Amelia! What the heck are you doing here?" Sirius asked while sitting with James. She sat next them and just smiled.
"Why wouldn't I want to spend time with my two boys?"
"Well normally, Lily would be standing behind you tapping her foot because she wants to leave, and that smile Dumbledore is the one that you put on your face when you've done some major trouble." James said as he lay down his cards down on to the table. "Gin!" he said boasting at Sirius. Sirius glared at James. He loved to boast when he won at anything.
"What, did ya do, now?" Sirius asked her. Amelia just grinned slyly at them. Both boys pounced on her pinning her to the floor, knocking the table over in the process. Cards flung everywhere, drinks fell on to the white carpet. James and Sirius tickled Mia until she was in a fit of giggles and gave up. Both flung themselves off her, and look at the mess. James thought how pissed his mom was going to be when she saw the red juice all over her prized carpets.
"Uhh" James thought. "She'll live."
"You did a spell like that in sixth year?" They both asked her in unison.
"Ya! What you think I'm Useless with out you two?"
Amelia pushed herself off the floor and headed for the balcony outside. The Potter mansion was beautiful, it shone like a star in the middle of the night, this house was the main reason girls dated James. Who wouldn't want to end up Mistress of this place on day? Which. in her mind was really stupid, because James would dump them soon after they were dating. However most girls still thought it was worth it.
Someone tapped Amelia on her right shoulder to gain her undivided attention. When she turned around she saw Sirius standing behind smiling coolly. Amelia giggled he always watched her with his dark gray eyes. Sirius looked so proud for some reason, his smile stretching from one ear to the other. It made her smile. Sirius take two giant steps toward her with his long lean legs, then wrapped his strong well muscled arms around her waist. He gazed into her dark blue eyes that shone with a pure-blood pride. He smiled again then gracefully swooped down to kiss her hard on the lips. Amelia stood shocked, what the hell was he doing his girlfriend was going to kill her. Mia stood life less and still for a moment then she reluctantly kissed back. Which then turned into a fierce passionate frenzy that took over her sense of better judgment.
Sirius decided that her lips tasted like cherry lip-gloss. No one had ever done anything like that for him in his whole life. Mia's keens buckled. Making her fall against Sirius's warm chest. She rested her head over his heart to hear his fast beating heart. The sound of it quick rhythm sounding like how her own heart was beating. Amelia had the greatest urge to take his clothes off and see his fit hard chest underneath the well cut blue polo. Amelia cursed her self for thinking such naughty thoughts. Who could blame her the boy was hot. Amelia blushed again. Something was seriously wrong with her. Maybe it was just hormones.
James crossed the room and leaned against the white doorframe. James smiled at Sirius and Amelia, he knew something was happening between them for a long time now. James laughed lightly. They both were just so stubborn. Neither was willing to let the other know how they felt. Well the did now. James pushed back some black hair that fell into his eye and turned back into the room. He found his favorite chair and sat down. James leaned back and crossed his arms against his chest. He began to stare at the fire once again. When he saw Sirius kissing Amelia this weird sensation took over him. It couldn't be jealously could it?
(June 31, 1978)
Sirius sat with Mia in their graduating robes looking over the black lake, silently the hoped nothing would change, but both new better. Sirius took her small hand in his and kissed ithe back of it gently with his lips. She smiled at him and arched one of her well-made eyebrows at him. However before he could pull out what was in his pocket, James and the others rushed out toward them.
The six of them grouped together for a rare group photo. Lily was with James, Remus sat on the ground while Peter sat on top of the wall to be level with him or sorta level. Sirius stood arrogantly as the wind whipped his cape and hair into the air, Amelia had her arm hooked in his, and stood so her very long, super straight hair floated like a strip of torn silk in the wind. When the photo was finished, Sirius handed Amelia a glistening red rose, she took it and blushed lightly.
"Look inside," he told her
"Ok?" As she did Sirius got down on one keen and the diamond floated up from the petals.
"Will..." And before he could get the words out. A tear stained, make up running Amelia had wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him hard on the lips.
(October 31st 1979)
In a secret ceremony, on a late night in October, Amelia Dumbledore became a Black. The Great Hall of Hogwarts was decorated in Slik and flowers. Crsytals were draped everywhere long heavy strings. Fairies floated thought out the room like little balls of coloured fire. The candles that hung form the ceiling had been changed to a dark violet. The room seemed to have a life of its own. Sirius black was standing at the end of a long red carpet was. He was dressed in an Armani suit with his best man, James Potter, and Lily Potter, Amelia's Maid of Honour. Albus Dumbledore led his angelic like daughter down the aisle toward the groom. They said their vows, kissed their kiss and had their secret kept by their secret keepers, who took this to their graves.
(October 31st 1981)
"Sirius, don't do this, he's not worth it." She cried tears falling down her face in a thick wet stream.
"He KILLED THEM!" He howled at her.
"Peter isn't worth this at all! He's scum, he'll get what's coming to him, let Dad handle this." She harped at Sirius. He took her hands in his them dropped them. He lifted her face to look at him square in the eye.
"Sirius," She spoke gently toward him, "If you do this, I won't be here when you get back. If you ever get back." She told him. Sirius smiled weakly at her. It was a veiled threat he knew she would never leave.
"That's a risk I'll have to take." He told her as he closed the door of their large home behind him.
"SIRIUS!" Amelia screamed as she hit the floor with her fists.
"SIRIUS!"
She lay like a child in a ball on the floor. He was going to be the death of her. Crying babies rushed into her head. Tormenting her. Even now when their father's left they wouldn't give her a moment of piece. She lifted her head off the ground and made her way toward the stairs. Amelia lifted her gown up the cherry wood staircase. When she reached the babies cribs, she lifted them up and dressed the twins warmly. Chaos stood at the bottom of the stairs the three year old smiled. She told him that they were going to see his grand father. He loved his grandfather black. She thought about taking them to their Grand-da that that was too risky. Tom would come after them so they had to make it look like the death eaters did their job and killed them. Amelia left the house she loved with her small children, Carry the twins Diamond and Aniko in her arms and Chaos holding the hem of her skirt. The only thing she did zap to their Canadian Mansion was a note in her perfect clean pretty scroll for Sirius when he returned. She left it lying in the living room on the hardwood floor. Amelia looked back at the now empty house. This was for the best. This was the only way to save their family. It was only a matter of time before Tom came after her children too.
Sirius sat soundlessly in his cell planning his way out, with a letter in his hands. He couldn't bring himself to open it. It was her handwriting, and he didn't want to know what she had just done, and he was sure of what Peter had said about the Dark Lord going after his sons and daughter were true. He was sure that they could be dead.
(The Letter read)
Dear Sirius Black,
I must be honest with you babe, just gotta be honest. I love to watch the faces that you make. I can't see you, so might I suggest a change. If you know anything about me by now, you know I'm a freak, just follow my lead. Baby, I love making love in front of the mirror. Baby, tonight let's try in front of the mirror. If you can stay and stand not leaving, keep your chin up, please watch me walk away, I want you to see that we look so good together. I understand that you're not ready for me.
You seem to find the dark when everything is bright. You look for all the wrong instead of all that's right. Does it feel good to you, to rain on my parade? You never say a word, unless it's to complain.
It's driving me insane. Look what surrounds you now: more than you ever dreamed! Have you forgotten just how hard it used to be? So what's it going to take for you to realise it all could go away in one blink of an eye? It happens all the time. Next time you come home I won't be here; I won't stay here, and live here with my regret.
Love,
AMELIA DUMBLEDORE
(Present Day)
"That's what happened so long ago, why some days I can't even look at her. She looks so much like him, it hurts." Amelia spoke effortlessly into the round, windowed room. As she thought of Aniko.
"My father used a memory charm on anyone who could have know about me and the children. It's like we don't exists anymore. I changed my name back to Dumbledore and we moved to Canada then back to the Mage World." She sighed
"I always wonder how it would have worked out if peter never betrayed us."
