Disclaimer: The usual, I dont own Harry Potter it belongs to the very talented J.K. Rowling. I just like to put my own twist on it.

Shock rocked through Harry as Amelia spoke. Confusion clouded his mind as he tried to grasp what she had just said. Luckily Hermione had come up to him then, a suspicious look crossed over her face before she reined her emotions back in. Amelia sized Hermione up before she looked the young witch in the eyes challenging Hermione to say something about her. When Hermione just kept a fixed gaze on her Amelia decided to speak up," My Lord I believe we should go somewhere more private to discuss responsibilities the sword will entail."

Harry was about to comment when Hermione finally decided to speak up," Who do you think you are? You can't just come here and suddenly think you can take Harry away-"

In a blur of movement Amelia had Hermione on the ground with a knife at her throat. Fear quickly passed to adrenaline and rage when Harry saw a small drop of blood run down Hermione's throat into her hair from where Amelia had her knife. Remus moved into action when what happened registered in his mind. He had his wand drawn and ready to hex Amelia to oblivion. "Make another move Lupin and my knife goes through her throat. You know what I'm capable of." Only once Remus had put his wand back in the holster on his wrist and moved a couple steps back did Amelia let up on the pressure of the knife against Hermione's throat, but kept the tip of the sharp blade within reach of Hermione's jugular.

The scene in front of Harry made the rage inside him began to build, making his blood boil. Wind started to pick up around the group; Harry didn't notice though, he was too busy staring at Hermione and Amelia.

Hermione though noticed everything, from the leaves on the ground under her to the cool unforgiving metal pressed against her throat. Then she felt the unusually strong wind pick up around her. She looked to the side as far as she could, with the blade at her neck, to see the wind circling Harry. Worry shot through her until she looked into Harry's eyes. No longer were these the emerald green eyes that she loved to look into, but replaced completely by a deep gray, like liquid steal. These were cold eyes filled with unbridled rage, nothing she had ever seen before. To be completely honest it frightened her to see Harry like this. That's when she noticed the sparks of electricity around him.

Harry didn't know when or how it happened but all he knew was that the power running through his veins was addicting. It was like a drug he's had a taste of and now he's desperate for more. And that's exactly what Amelia gave him when she looked into Harry's eyes laughing and slid her blade lightly across Hermione's throat causing a half inch red line to appear. Harry suddenly saw red when Amelia dared to keep hurting Hermione. Drawling his wand, the wind and crackling of electricity immediately picked up.

Harry looked Amelia straight in the eyes and yelled,"Expelliarmus". Amelia flew across the clearing and landed heavily on the ground laughing the whole time. Only when Harry was sure Amelia wouldn't get up right away did he look to Hermione.

As soon as Hermione felt Amelia fly from on top of her did she scramble to her feet. She looked up in time to see Amelia land heavily across the clearing. Hermione quickly looked at Harry in surprise. Hermione knew Harry was powerful but she had never seen him display power like he just had. She tentively took a step towards him when he looked her way. She saw the gray in his eyes begin to fade to the green, and be replaced with concern when he looked at her throat. Harry saw Hermione's hesitation when he stepped closer to her. It broke his heart that Hermione felt some kind of fear towards him. He gently took her face in his hands and looked deeply in her eyes. He saw all hesitation leave only to be replaced by trust and a hint of love. She leaned into his hands and tilted her head back when he asked her too. Harry lightly ran the pad of his thumb over the cut on her throat. Anger filled him again when he heard Hermione whimper slightly from the contact. He placed a gentle kiss on top of her hair and turned to look at where Amelia was gingerly getting to her feet.

Harry stormed to where she was; grabbing her by the front of the cloak he roughly pulled her up and painfully jabbed his wand right under the left side of her jaw. "Don't you ever do that again" he growled out looking Amelia right in the eyes.

Hermione quickly ran to Harry's side and tried to pull his arm away from her. "Harry please I'm fine. We need to know why she's here. Please if you hurt her you'll be no better then what she is. Come back to me Harry, come back to me."Hermione whispered. Harry gave Amelia one last jab under the jaw and released her making sure she got the point. Harry stepped back and Hermione placed herself in from of Amelia. Amelia in turn looked at Harry amusingly then turned to glare at Hermione.

"Why did you do that?" Hermione asked ignoring Amelia's glare. Amelia took a deep breath and got right into Hermione's face. She had to admit, she was impressed when the young witch didn't back down.

"You disrespected me by questioning my rightful place by My Lord's side. I had to show you I'm not one you think you can push around. Besides I had to make sure you were trust worthy. If My Lord is willing to save you then I can let you live for now, if he didn't then I would have easily killed you." Hermione gasped at her bluntness and frank coldness. She didn't think the woman in front of her would have been so willing to take her life so suddenly, but she had underestimated her, not a mistake she was willing to do again.

Harry decided to clear a few things up right at that moment, "I trust Hermione with my life, you need to accept that she will never betray me and I would gladly give my life for hers. The quicker you understand that the quicker I don't kill you." It was then that he felt movement behind him and turned to see Remus was still there, "Well if all this is settled I think the commotion has piqued the interest of the people inside." Remus said tilting his head to the house.

There you go. Sorry it took me so long to update, and that it's so short, I was unfortunately hit with a case of writers block. (It kicked my butt!) I am working on the next chapter so look for it soon!

If there is anything that you are struggling to understand or have any ideas for me let me know! I love to hear from everyone!

Give me feed back on Amelia do you love her do you hate her?

As always Read and Review! If you do Harry and Hermione might just stop by and have tea with you! ( I won't send Amelia since she's still pretty mad at being thrown across a field) - Nia
