It was now time to board the train. The couple met up and Tim greeted her with a short but passionate kiss. They sat in their usual compartment cuddling closely together. They rode to Hogsmeade and caught their usual carriage where Katie was sitting.
"Hey Kat," Amber greeted her friend.
"Hey Amber, how was your summer?"
She sighed and said. "Dramatic."
Katie nodded as Amber explained. Once at Hogwarts they went to their respective tables. Per usual they had a new Defense teacher this time it was Dolores Umbridge.
It was about a week into school, when Amber received a letter from her dad.
Dear Amber,
You have a baby sister. Her name is Sapphire Rose Tonks. She was born at 3:00pm on September sixth. She's beautiful.
Now for the bad news or rather you already knew that I asked Eliza to move out. I also served her with divorce papers. Merlin, I really wanted this to work but if she can't accept my family she's not worthy.
Love,
Dad
P.S. I have enclosed a picture of your sister.
Amber took out the picture. It was lucky that her new sister looks more like her dad with tufts of sandy brown hair and green eyes. She was beautiful. After breakfast, she ran to find her boyfriend.
"Hey love, someone's excited," Tim grinned.
She handed him the picture of her baby sister.
"At least she looks more like your dad than Eliza."
Amber chuckled.
It was now time for the first Defense lesson which thankfully she shared with the Slytherins.
"Hey love," Tim greeted, kissing her cheek.
"I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't show affection in my classroom," Umbridge said.
Tim took his seat next to Amber. The rest of the class filed in. Umbridge made her nervous to the core.
"I suppose she's just jealous that no one would want to snog her senseless with her toad face," Tim whispered to Amber as they walked out of the classroom.
Amber giggled at her boyfriend's assumption.
"Speaking of snogging senseless, you want to have a snogging session before we go our separate ways?" Tim asked impishly, his blue eyes twinkling mischievously.
Amber just tugged her boyfriend towards an empty alcove. The two of them began snogging passionately. After a short snogging session they went their separate ways.
It was now time for the first Hogsmeade weekend. Amber had heard rumours about Harry having a meeting at the Hog's Head. She figured whatever the meeting is, it would be mostly Gryffindors so they would be suspicious of Tim. Though, she didn't really care. She walked in the pub holding Tim's hand.
"Are you sure, they would want me here?" Tim asked.
Amber nodded and said. "If they want me, they have to take you too."
Tim smiled at his beloved girlfriend.
"Uhm, hi, you all know why we're here. We need a teacher. A proper teacher. One who's had real experience defending themselves against the Dark Arts," Hermione said, nervously.
"I've defeated the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets. I can cast a corporeal patronus and I won the tournament and I duelled Voldemort."
Many people noticeably flinched.
"We were going need to keep this a secret, sign this list," Hermione said.
Fred was the first to sign it, others soon followed. The meeting broke up.
They met in the Room of Requirement four days later.
"What shall we call ourselves?" Harry asked.
"The Defence Association? The DA for short, so nobody knows what we're talking about?" Cho suggested.
"Yeah, the DA's good. Only let's make it stand for Dumbledore's Army, because that's the Ministry's worst fear, isn't it?" Ginny said.
Harry nodded. The first meeting was over. Amber and Tim were walking out of the Room of Requirement when they overheard a conversation between Ron, Harry and Hermione.
"Are you sure we should trust a Slytherin in Dumbledore's Army?" Ron asked.
The couple tensed. They knew this was coming.
"He doesn't seem anything like Malfoy or anyone that we know in Slytherin."
A new voice said. "He's nothing like those Slytherins, he defended me from Draco in my first year."
Tim was shocked that Neville still remembered that but he was humbled that he did.
