Chapter Ten

She had expected the Malfoy's to leave straight away after Draco's robes were fitted, but they didn't. Narcissa began to leave when Draco quietly told her he was going to "stick around and find out more about the 'Potter girl.'" After agreeing to meet later Narcissa left. Amelia's robes didn't need many alterations so she didn't take much longer. As she was paying she looked out of the shop windows for the Golden Trio and Hagrid. They sat across the street at a table outside of a little bakery, probably one of the only ones left open in Diagon Alley. She took the box that housed her robes with a smile and turned around nervously. Draco stood by the door leaning against a window, which was fortunately facing away from the Trio, with his hands in his pockets. He was looking out of the window, and the light streamed in around him, so he was in silhouette. The ring gave a slight pulse. It was so cheesy but it made her catch her breath. He turned to her at the sound of her gasp, which she cleverly hid as a cough. Amelia followed him as he motioned towards the door with his head and started towards it. As the bell chimed, letting Madam Malkin know they had left, Amelia looked to her left to see the Trio staring at her, confused looks on their faces. She looked Harry in the eye, winked, and made the 'watching you' motion with her two fingers at Malfoy. He turned to the other two to let them know what she was doing.

"So, um," Draco started with an awkward cough, turning Amelia's attention back to him. "You said you were lost in the Muggle world? How'd that happen?" she shifted the box in her arms as she replied.

"Well, Voldy-" she stopped her sentence quickly at the shocked look on his face," um well Voldemort wanted the 'chosen child' dead." Draco nodded, as she looked over at him continuing to walk slowly down the street. "And Harry had already been taken off by the medi-witches, he's older by like 6 minutes, so I was the only one that the Death Eater, disguised as a Healer at the time, could get. So he grabbed me and disapperated. I don't know how anyone found out, but I was told he tried to kill me repeatedly, that's what this circle scar in on my collarbone, but he couldn't do it. So in the end he gave up, and dumped me at a Muggle orphanage. I was adopted by some Muggles, and grew up being called a freak. I remember on my 11th birthday I got this weird letter telling me not to go to school or something, because of what I 'did to them'." She made quote marks with her two fingers of her left hand. "I was locked in my room; the Murler's didn't know what it meant and didn't believe me when I said I didn't know either." She looked forward. "I got so mad that they didn't believe me, so I told the door to unlock, it did and I kind of just went downstairs. I got in trouble, but they never could lock me up after that." She looked up at the blonde haired, grey eyed beauty to her left; she was only as tall as his shoulder, maybe a little shorter. He was looking off in front of him, he looked confused and slightly angered, which confused Amelia. He also appeared to be trying to get somewhere in particular. She had no problem keeping up with his long legged fast pace. She'd been on every sports team possible in school. Trying to make the Murler's proud was already paying off.

So caught up in being proud of herself, she was caught off guard as she was grabbed by the hand and yanked down an Alley. She and Draco burst into a little courtyard, ne she'd never seen nor read of. It was a smallish circle of grass with a small bench to one side; it was only a few paces wide. Amelia realized that the courtyard was actually just a small room, after a closer inspection of the walls and ceilings which were charmed to look like rolling fields and sky.

"Whoa, what is this place?" she asked walking up to the wall for closer inspection. Was that a farm with animals walking about? She wondered leaning even closer.

"There are tons of them in Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade too, if you look carefully. They're just places for people to get out of the hustle bustle and relax for a few minutes," Draco replied. It was only now that Amelia realized that he was pacing, as best as he could, about the small room. Amelia sat on the small bench, placing her box underneath, and watched him; he was really cross. He suddenly turned to her.

"I don't get you, at all." He said standing in front of her. "He tried to kill you, ruined your life, has been trying to kill your brother for the past six years, not to mention He murdered your parents, and yet you still want him to win?" He crouched down to look her directly in the eyes. "You don't see anything wrong with that? You can 't be that stupid," he sat down next to her. They turned to each other; Amelia crossed her legs under herself. She fiddled with her laces on her trainers, biting her bottom lip, trying to figure out what she could say.

"I never said that I wanted him to win," she started slowly, "I said that two teens had no chance, but with Ron, and Hermione," she said a small smirk gracing her lips, "it's possible." She smiled and stopped her hands fidgeting, placing them in her lap. "I can't really tell you anything more, it would just give too much away, plus I've only just met you. But if it all works out, I can save a life, maybe even a few." Her smile morphed into a frown as she looked down to her ring. Draco's eyes followed hers to the ring.

"What's that? It looks like ashes," he took her hand and brought it to his face for closer inspection.

"It's a Sarnevesht ring," he looked at her, confused, "a destiny ring. They help you to find your destined other. But this things giving me mixed signals.." she said furrowing her brows thinking about the glowing for Snape and Malfoy.

"I see, is it supposed to glow like that?" he asked as he slowly reached out and touched it. Amelia waited for him to recoil back at the burning heat, but he didn't. "It's warm," her eyes were wide and her mouth agape. "What?" he asked letting go of her hand and leaning back.

"Didn't it burn?" he shook his head, "but it burns everyone else.." she trailed off quietly.

"Oh, weird," he said as he stood up. Pulling out a pocket watch, he checked the time. "Well I've got to go meet my mother at.. um at.." he trailed off trying to come up with an excuse.

"Borgin and Burkes, I know what you're up to Draco," she said standing up and picking her robes box up. "You're looking for the vanishing cabinet, right? Well no worries, your secret is safe with me." Now it was his turn to stand there eyes wide and mouth open.

"How. What? How did you know that," he asked. She started walking back towards the Alley.

"My little secret," she said tapping her nose. He looked at her like she was weird. "The nose thing must be a Muggle thing, I guess." He nodded his head and followed her. "I might show you when school starts, but only if we become good enough friends first, I'll have to be able to trust you. Well I guess I won't be able to show you if I'm sorted into Gryffindor, cause then you won't want to talk to me. Might ruin your cool guy, Pureblood rep," she said rubbing the back of her head with a nervous laugh.

"Well I don't know about that, we could maybe still talk and get to know each other and stuff," he said nervously. "I think I'd like to get to know you better, you seem.. interesting," he said grinning cheekily. She smiled back.

"You should smile more, it looks rather fetching on you," he rolled his eyes at her and slightly pushed her away jokingly, his grin leaving. The amusement was still in his eyes though. "This feels like the start of a wonderful friendship." He snorted.

"Wonderful, and I'll make sure to smile at the First years as I'm grilling them out."

"That's the spirit!" Amelia laughed, Draco joining her as they walked down the dark alley. The two continued walking and talking until they got closer to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, where Amelia had to meet everyone. So they said their goodbyes, promising to at least attempt to talk at Hogwarts, and went their separate ways.

92 Diagon Alley was the only place in the street where people were laughing and smiling. Its orange glow brightened everything around it. "Only Fred and George," Amelia chuckled as she opened the door. Someone grabbed Amelia's shoulder and she spun around in shock, starting to reach for her wand. Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood in front of her. Hermione was shrinking down three robe boxes and putting them in her beaded bag that Amelia recognized as the bag that Hermione put the extension charm on in Deathly Hallows. Hermione took Amelia's box and did the same.

"So how was your walk with Malfoy? Pleasant?" Harry joked as they walked into the laughter filled building.

"Well I learnt some stuff that you can't know about until the end of the year," Harry looked at her confused. "Sorry, can't change the book. If anything changes it could change the outcome of the war and stuff," at this he looked disappointed.

"I understand.." he muttered. "Could you at least tell me what happens?" He whined.

"No! Of course not! Besides, you're already bigheaded," she said wagging a finger at him. Only after she'd said it did she realize she'd given it away. "Oh shoot! Uh. Oh look! 'Patented day dream charms' those look cool!" She grabbed the person's hand that was the closest, Hermione's, and dragged the Trio over to the stand. "30 minute daydreams?" Amelia said picking up a box and reading the description on the side. "Livid 30 minute daydreams, and the side effects are only what you'd get if you had a real daydream. These are so cool!"

"That really is extraordinary magic," Hermione said picking one up and turning the box around in her hands.

"For that Hermione," a voice said behind them, "you can have one for free," the voice finished. They all turned around to see a beaming Fred; he wore a bright set of magenta robes that clashed with his flaming red hair. "How are you Harry?" he said shaking Harry's hand. His eyes passed over Amelia as he looked to his brother and Hermione. He did a double take, realizing someone else was there, he looked towards. "Oh, why hello there. Fred Weasley, pleased to make your acquaintance, and you are?"

"Amelia Potter," she said a smile on her lips. He smiled and taking her hand, bowed and placed a kiss on it.

"Enchante mademoiselle, pleasure to meet you," her eyes widened and her cheeks flushed, no one had ever even made an attempt to do anything like that to her ever. He stood up and let her hand fall back to her side, a half smirk on his lips, proud of what he'd done. "So Hermione, what happened to your eye? Get in a fight?" he joked.

"Actually it was your telescope, thanks," she said her arms crossed.

"Oh, blimey. Sorry, forgot about those. Here," he said his hand digging around in his robe pocket. He brought a small tin out of the pocket and handed it to Hermione. "Just rub a bit of that on and the bruise will clear up within the hour. Had to come up with something that was strong enough to remove these bruises. George and I tested it on ourselves."

"Is it safe though? I'm not going to grow another eye am I?" she said looking at the little tin in her hands nervously.

"Of course it's safe. George and I are fine. Though it could produce a different result with you being a girl and all," he said with a laugh. At her panicked look he quickly spoke up. "Only joking Hermione! You know I wouldn't harm you guys!"

"Thanks," Hermione said opening the tin and taking a sniff of the paste. "Ron could you help me with this?" she turned around and walked off, Ron following her.

"So, tour? Yes?" Fred said to the Potters walking away. The twins looked at each other and quickly followed him towards the back of the shop. On the shelves were ropes, decks of cards, and other Muggle things.

"Muggle magic tricks," Fred said picking up a deck of cards and turning them around in his hands. "For freaks like dad who love Muggle stuff." Amelia took a deck of cards out of the box and began shuffling them. "They're not a big earner, but they get us a little bit. What are you doing?" he asked Amelia, who held out the deck to him.

"Pick a card," she said fanning them out. He picked a card out of the deck. "Don't let me see, but look at it. Let Harry see it too, oh and I guess George too," George walked up behind Fred.

"What am I looking at fair maiden?" she rolled her eyes, a slight blush on her cheeks as Fred showed Harry and George the card. "I see."

"Now, put the card back in the deck anywhere," she shuffled the deck as he put the card back in. She picked up a card at random. "Is this your card?" he shook his head. "Of course it isn't," she said ripping it up. She put the pieces in Fred's hand, "because the Queen of Diamonds is in your ear," she reached for his ear and brought the card "out" of his ear. "Oh and the Four of Spades, the one I ripped. Right here, good as new," she said with a smile opening the palm of her hand to the card sitting there. Fred looked at his closed hand, he slowly opened it. His eyes widened at the empty space.

"How'd you do that?" George asked. Amelia smiled and tapped the side of her nose.

"I'm not telling," she said with a sweet smile. "Mr. Tomney, my Chemistry teacher taught me. It was the same magician's deck of cards pack too. No magic needed just some good old Muggle tricks."

"Who cares how she did it, it was bloody brilliant!" Fred exclaimed looking at his hand on amazement. "You can keep those, if you show me some more tricks later. Maybe even teach me one?" she laughed at his excited expression.

"Of course I will," she smiled.

"Wait a minute," George said. "You're Amelia Potter, Harry's long lost twin! Fred its Amelia Potter!" he said turning to his twin in excitement.

"I'm aware George, we've met," Fred replied with a laugh. "I used the French trick," he said with a wink. Amelia rolled her eyes, trying to hold back the blush from the memory. Why am I blushing so much today!? She thought to herself.

"Well drat, all I used was the fair maiden. Wish I'd know, I would have topped you!" George replied. His eyes strayed to the white text on her shirt. "What's with the shirt? Do you have a thing with Malfoy? I hope not. Has anybody told her how the kid is?" he looked around at the other two.

"George, do you not remember what mum told us? The books? And then that Terry girl? I think she's well informed." Fred said.

"Oh, that was her? So she does know what the guy is like? Then what's with the shirt?" Fred's twin said in his similar voice.

"Uh well you see.. It's from Terry, and I was in a rush this morning so I just grabbed the first one my hand touched. I wish I'd paid a little more attention this morning. Everyone has been commenting on it. Draco included, now that was embarrassing," Amelia replied.

"Serves you right for wearing it," Harry said, making Amelia stick her tongue out at him. Fred and George finished the tour over at the Wonder-Witch products. The Golden Trio spotted Malfoy like they did in the books and Amelia let them go spy on him while she stayed behind trying to help Ginny convince Mrs. Weasley to buy the younger witch a Pygmy Puff.
