Amelia was too much like her mother. Stubborn conviction to what she believed to be right. She saw no grey areas and would not be told no. She was 10 years old now and had just bitten her 3rd psychiatrist. It's been 3 years and she still won't give up the silly notion of the raggedy man. Severus shook his head to himself as he read the letter from his cousin Sharon. He blamed himself. Maybe his stories about Hogwarts and magic had gone to her head. Lilly had shown her first signs of being magic at seven, he a little before that, he knew that he had to prepare her. Seven years old and show signs of magic is exactly what Amelia did. He smiled as he remembered her pick a flower from the garden and do exactly what Lilly did all those years ago. He knew that her letter from Hogwarts was coming next year but he couldn't let her come here. It was far too dangerous that someone would find out who she was. He couldn't make her stay away though. He put her on the muggle born list and will tell her this birthday that she must pretend that she didn't know about magic or about him. He hoped she would understand.
Amelia wanted to cry. She was going to see her father almost everyday at her new school but she couldn't even say hi. Amelia also wanted to laugh and smile because she got to see the beautiful world that father talked about in his stories. She hoped she would be in Slytherin, the same house as her dad or Gryfindor the same as her mother more Slytherin though because the green would match her eyes and make her hair stand out more. She was going to work hard and make her father proud. So began her first year of Hogwarts.
Slytherin was a lot of fun, Amelia decided. Her father was potions master and head of slytherin. If she ever got in trouble he would be the one she was sent to. She only made the mistake of thinking he would be easy on her once, though. She loved Quidditch and hoped she could make the team one day. She made friends but she missed Mels and Rory back home. Amelia loved potions and charms quickly becoming really good, top of her year in potions and second in charms. It was an uneventful year other than the usual antics of magical student's like getting hexed in the halls or peeves making a nuisance of himself. Slytherin won the house and Quidditch cup and Amelia spent all her holidays at her aunts place. Snape had never been prouder of his little girl.
Amelia never forgot her raggedy man but he wasn't part of this life. He was part of her muggle life with Rory and aunt Sharon and Mels, although she had a feeling that Mels knew about magic but was under the same 'can't tell anyone' rule. Amelia also found that people were much more likely to take her seriously if she didn't go on about a random man who fixed a crack in her wall when she was little. She loved making Rory play Doctor during the holidays and felt that with him she could always be herself. Amelia started her second year of Hogwarts.
Amelia was a natural on the broom and was one of the best chasers the team had seen. Severus was so proud when she made the team, he bought her a broom. The second year was another normal year of Hogwarts. Amelia was so good at potions that Snape decided to run an advanced class for her, teaching her third year techniques. She loved it and because she was alone with her father he allowed her to call him such. Amelia was never classed as a know-it-all, though and had an amazing year.
Her third year, things got complicated. Harry Potter graced the halls of Hogwarts with his pressence. Harry Potter openly hated her father and she thought he was a little git. Potter got on his Quidditch team in his first year. Potter got his own broom. Her new defense against the dark arts teacher smelled weird and gave her the shivers. There was a troll in the school, near the Slytherin common room to be exact. The little first year Malfoy thought everyone should bow down to him, just because his father is rich and powerful. Amelia thought he was also a little git, not that she'd say anything. Gryfindor won the Quidditch cup and the house cup and rumors flew about the return of the Dark Lord. Her father was severely shaken all year and stopped her advanced lessons half-way through the year. It wasn't her favourite year. It was also her last year at Hogwarts.
