Chapter one – News
"Do you think she would wake if we get a mad man running through the house with a knife?" an annoying voice was right next to my ear. I groaned. Why couldn't they leave me alone? I couldn't get to sleep last night again because I had that stupid dream again. There was a red type of stone, a turban and a mirror. I don't know why I have it but it wakes me up every time and I can't get to sleep again.
"Go away!" I moaned, turning the other way. Unfortually they decided that it would be amusing if they picked me up and carried me down stairs. With my shorts and singlet shirt on and it was freezing! I started to struggle in there arms.
"Guys' I pleaded "Seriously, can you guys put me down please? It's cold and in case you haven't notice, I have shorts and a singlet on" Not exactly the type of clothes for this kind of weather.
"Amber?"
I turned my head to see Moody standing at the front door, watching us amused.
"Moodthe type of clothes for this kind of weather.
"Amber?"
I turned my head to see Moody standing at the front door, watching us amused.
"Moony!"
Moony was like my personal guardian. He, Aunt Molly and Uncle Arthur were one of the only ones that were around when I was little. They never told me who my parents were they just said that I would find out in time. To bad I found out when I was nine.
I might of accidently gone searching and I might of eaves drop on Aunt Molly, Uncle Arthur and Moony talking about my parents after I asked them that very same day.
**Memory**
I walked down the stairs quietly, thankful for the fact I did pranks with the twins. I heard hushed tones coming from the kitchen so I went to find out what they were talking about.
"We can't keep lying to her Molly!" I heard Moony say.
"We can't tell her either, Remus!" Aunt Molly snapped back "Amber is only nine, for bloody sakes! She would be scared out of her wits!" hmm, so they're talking about me?
I heard Uncle Arthur sigh "Molly I have to agree with Remus" he took a deep breath before continuing "We can't keep lying to her or avoiding the question, Molly"
"She is going to find out eventually" Moony sighed; I could just imagine him rubbing his temples.
"Fine" Snapped Aunt Molly "But what are you going to tell her? That Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange are her parents?"
I couldn't breathe. I couldn't speak. All I did was let out a short gasp as the tears started to roll down my face. They all told me of those two. They were The Dark Lord's most loyal followers. And they were the most dangerous death eaters there were. Unfortually, all the adults heard my gasp and came running out of the kitchen.
"Oh, Amber dear" Aunt Molly said "What are you doing dow-?" She took a step towards me but stopped talking when I took a step back. I was close to sobbing right now but I needed to know if they are saying that this is true.
"Please tell me you are lying?" I whispered, the tears coming faster "Please tell me it's not true?" I had to bite my lip to keep from sobbing and yelling out to the world. I was biting my lip so hard that I drew blood.
They all looked at me with sadness in their eyes. I knew the answer right then and there.
"No" I whispered, taking slow steps to the stairs "No!" I was sobbing at this point.
Moony sighed and took a step towards me but just like Aunt Molly, stoped when I took a step back.
"Amb-"
He was cut of with me running up the stairs to my room.
**End Memory**
I didn't come out from my room for ten months. I didn't talk to anyone, I didn't eat. I did nothing. I locked my room so even the adults couldn't come in. Uncle Arthur told Aunt Molly that I just needed time. She said I should at least eat something. So I at half a bowl of soup every two days. Hey, it was better than nothing.
When I finally decided to come out, I got up extra early on Aunt Molly and Uncle Arthur's wedding anniversary and cooked a huge buffet with their favourite foods. When they came down and saw me cooking, Aunt Molly screamed and ran to me and hugged me to death. She kept saying 'Sorry, sorry, sorry!' over and over again.
Anyway, Fred and George decided that it would be great to drop me. But they didn't exactly do it gently
"OW!" I shouted when I landed on the ground. Fred and George snickered before running up the stairs, after I sent them one of my famous glares.
"OW!" I shouted when I landed on the ground. Fred and George snickered before running up the stairs, after I sent them one of my famous glares.
Moony ran over and helped me up "You alright kid?"
I nodded while rubbing my but "Yeah" I said. He raised an eyebrow "Okay I might have a bruise on my butt now thank to the evil twins" oh those weasels…
Moony chuckled.
"What are you doing here?" I asked. He only came on weekends and only on the weekdays when it was a special occasions. Today was Friday.
"Oh just coming for a visit, you know…" He trailed off. I narrowed my eyes but couldn't question further as Aunt Molly came out and told me to take a shower and get ready.
My outfit was muggle clothes. They are way more comfortable than the wizard clothes. I had a green, strapless top. I had jeans, that had holes in them and I put on green and white sneakers. I put on my black and gold DC hat. My hair was natural curl and was down today, so it was half way past my butt.
I put on green sparkly sunglass earrings. I put on my black and gold glitter bracelets and my necklace with the gold 'A' in curly letters.
I grabbed my mid-drift hoodie. It was black and gold and had my name on it. Bill and Charlie, my oldest cousins, got me this one when Aunt Molly hid my other ones. I just got more for my eleventh birthday this year. She was really snappy after that.
After that I went to go wake up Ron. I'm the only one who can actually wake him up. No one knows why but I am and I will wake him up. Unlike everyone else, I don't give up. It took me three and a half hours to wake him up one time and by that time it was half past twelve.
I didn't bother to knock so I just walked in and walked over to his bed. He was asleep, still, no shocker there. He was snoring loudly, as usual. I snuck behind him then I jumped on his bed and kept jumping up and down on the bed.
"WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP, RON!" I screamed in his ear. This has been a tradition since I was eight and he wouldn't wake up when we need to go to Diagon Alley. I was so excited but nobody could get him awake, so, I snuck up to his bedroom and started to scream in his ear. It worked and it has been this way for awhile.
"Ahh, Amber!" Ron groaned. I smiled satisfied. But then I heard his snore again and I rolled my eyes. Blimey, he needs to get a life.
I sighed "Oh well, I guess everyone else and I will eat my brownies alone" I was the best at acting in this family. Even better at lying. It works like a charm. Also, I have the 'Devil's Eyes' according to Moony. I call it 'Simply Me'. It gets any one to do what I want, when I want and wherever I want.
Anyway, back to the present. As soon as I said 'brownies alone' Ron's eyes shot open and he sat up so fast I jumped a little.
"Your brownies?" he moaned. I just smiled at him and skipped out the door, down the stairs and in the kitchen. To my surprise Bill and Charlie were sitting at the table with the rest of the family. I squealed and ran to hug them.
"Oh my god!" I squealed as I hugged them both "What are you guys doing here? Why didn't you tell me you were coming? When did yo-"
"Amber!" everyone yelled. I blushed and looked down. I usually do that, I will talk and talk and talk and talk and forget what I am doing and I am supposed to do. It takes everyone to yell just to get me to shut up. They found out a long time ago that I shouldn't have more than ten chocolates. Candy and lollies are fine but chocolate makes me go…ummm…Hyper. Yeah, we will go with that.
"Sorry" I whined "But seriously, nobody told me that they were coming! You really expect me to not be excited about that, do you?"
"We don't know what to expect from you, Amber, 'cause you're you" Ron walked in all dressed and ready to start the day. I stuck my tongue out at him. He rolled his eyes.
"Hey, when are you making your brownies?" he asked. Everybody's head snapped up to me.
"Your brownies?" the boys were literally drooling. I mimicked being sick.
"Ewww! Ewww! Ewwwww! Guys, seriously, why do boys always drool with my brownies?" I whined. Uncle Arthur, Aunt Molly and Moony laughed.
"Because, Amber" Moony and Uncle Arthur were still laughing, so Aunt Molly was explaining to me "You got to remember that these are boys we are talking about. There brain functions differently than us. Food and games is all they know" she smiled then went back to eating.
"Or maybe it's because they have no brains" I muttered. Thank god none of the boys heard that.
"Anyway, I will make them for after lunch, okay?" Ron opened his mouth to protest but I put a hand up to stop him "Or not at all" I narrowed my eyes at him, daring him to push me further.
I walked and sat next to Moony and started to eat. Ten minutes into breakfast, Percy stood and announced the mail was here. I just kept eating waiting for something to happen.
"He is going to crash straight into the window upstairs, in the twin's room" I stated. Everyone looked at me like I was insane. Well, nearly everyone. Moony was smiling at me, looking very amused. He knew I could do these sorts of things. I usually could tell when something is going to happen before it happens.
"Sure it is" said Percy "You are probably just being funny" Percy and I aren't on good terms right now. He thinks because he is prefect he can order people around. He did that the other day and I snapped. It didn't end to well.
I rolled my eyes at him "Don't say I didn't tell you" I sang as I got up to put the dishes in the sink. I turned around.
"Be quiet everyone" everyone went quiet instantly "Listen"
You could hear the flap of wings from a little while away. I smile when Erol was close enough.
"5…4…3…2...1..." I pointed my finger up stairs and you hear an owl's hoot, a thump and a slidey sound. I turned around and walked over to the window, opened it and held my hands out. A second later Erol was in my hands lying down with mail tied to his leg and some in his mouth. I turned (Again) and held my hands out. Erol stood up and flew over to the window sill.
"How the bloody hell did you know that?" Ron asked, gaping. Along with everyone else, not including Moony and Ginny, who were smirking at the others.
I stared at him for a moment, then answered "Lets just day it's a gift"
