Chapter 1 - Not going back

"I am not going, it is a pointless waste of time sitting in a classroom, learning spells I already know when there's a war going on!"

"Fred and George are going back"

"Molly I don't bloody care what Fred and George are doing. In case you haven't noticed this is the start of war with one of the most dangerous wizards for centuries and what's more..."

"Amelia breathe please" Amelia looked over to Sirius wondering what on earth he meant when she noticed that everyone was clutching their glasses, as Amelia's anger had been making the ground shake. There was silence for a few minutes as Amelia composed herself. Remus stepped forward since he saw Amelia was calm and interjected,

"Amelia you're right" Molly looked like she had just been slapped and was about to argue when Remus but his hand up to stop her.

"Let me finish, Amelia is right a war has started, but it has only just started and all the magic we have will be needed when events gather pace, the Death Eaters know this and they're going to try keep our numbers down, especially the more powerful of us"

Amelia figured out this was the "You'll be safer in Hogwarts talk so cut Remus short "Remus you can't be on their side, this is absurd, did you ever think that we need to..."

"Enough Amelia, Remus is right." Amelia went silent Sirius had been the person who had very least would never argue with Amelia he loved her too much and never wanted to upset her, "We all have to do things we don't like." Amelia had heard enough and walked out of the kitchen and into the room she was sharing with Ginny and Hermionie. Ginny came over giving a sympathetic smile "I guess you lost?" Amelia huffed and nodded, she couldn't waste her time in Hogwarts she'd be useless there.

There was a timid knock on the door as Arthur poked his head through, "Molly starting dinner girls." Ginny and Hermionie got up to go but Amelia didn't move and simply stated "I'm not hungry." Everyone left the room leaving Amelia alone she could hear Ron's loud voice echoing outside the door "But skipping meals is.. is a sin." Harry came into the room shooing away Ron, "The twins were using the ears, you need out?" Amelia smiled and shook her head and sent Harry on his way. Amelia wasn't going back to Hogwarts that was a fact and if she couldn't stay with the order she'd just live out in the field alone.

Amelia got up and grabbed a quill and parchment and write everyone a quick note:

Please don't be angry. I can't just sit around and wait. I'll come back someday. I hope you can forgive me. I love you all. No fighting. Give this box to Harry. See you on the battle field.

Amelia

The sentences were short as Amelia was just writing everything that came into her head, she left the bow for Harry with some of their parents things in it grabbed her emergency bag of clothes and tent, wand, a map and put on her robes and left the room. Amelia tip toed down the stairs remaining in shadows, it was hard to leave but she had to follow her instincts. She silently opened the front door and walked out she went into some bushes in the shadows ready to apparate when she saw the door of number 12 open and Sirius came rushing out he looked around franticly. They knew she was gone, the entire order seemed to be trying to get out of the door at the same time, it would have been comical if not so heart warming. When Moody came out he seemed to find Amelia straight away and Amelia mouthed to him "Tell them I'm sorry", he started towards her but in a second she was gone.

Amelia had apparated to Diagon Alley, as she quickly picked up some supplies and took a large sum of money out of her vault. Amelia settled in a group of caves close to Hogwarts as she settled down studying her map and deciding where the best place to start would be. Amelia drifted off into sleep.

I know this was a short chapter but it got me where I needed to be and I promise from here on out you can have lots of nice long chapters
