Story of Amelia & Jonathan Evans
Amelia Evans was the youngest of three sisters. Her eldest was Petunia Evans, muggle, while the second eldest was Lily Evans.
"You're just another freak like Lily!"
Petunia would yell, pulling Amelia's hair whenever Lily wasn't around. Of course their parents scolded Petunia, never knowing what their two younger daughters really were.
It wasn't until they realized what they were when Lily got her letter from Hogwarts a few years before Amelia received hers, but both sisters knew they were a bit different. Amelia was very much like her sister Lily, warm and bright, though they didn't look like they were sisters. Amelia had bright blonde hair like the sun and bright, deep, emerald green eyes, unlike Lily's whose eyes were a light green.
Every summer and winter when Lily would come home she would show and teach Amelia a bit of magic, away from the rest of their family of course. This was after Lily stopped conversing with Severus, Lily's childhood friend, who pushed Lily away by calling her a mudblood.
Amelia didn't understand the word till Lily told her what it meant.
"…Does that make us bad Lily?"
"What? No of course not…Sev just had a bad family life and went into a house that thinks like that…I just hopes he stops hanging out with them and changes his ways, back when we weren't in Hogwarts."
Once Amelia got her letter, she entered the school with her older sister being three years ahead of her. There was something strange when school started. Amelia was placed into Gryffindor but later on she started to get extreme headaches and pains and that's when she received her first visions as a seer. Dumbledore found out and discussed with the headmistress of beauxbatons and soon, not even half a year, she was transferred to Beauxbaton.
Amelia excelled in the school as she became one of their star students, and not only that but her gifts as a seer was just as famous as well in the school. When Amelia was in her third year it was the time of the tri-wizard tournament, where all the schools would meet at Hogwarts to compete. Only a select number of students went but luckily Amelia was picked to go. When they arrived, everyone placed their name into the cup, including Amelia, but unfortunately she was not picked. Amelia didn't believed it matter because her stay at Hogwarts was wonderful. She saw her sister being head girl and saw her boyfriend James. Amelia was somewhat smitten by James' friends Sirius and Remus but it was one particular day when a different boy ended up stealing her heart.
Amelia was out by the lake reading under a tree with her best friend Aine Tsukimi, a transfer student and also a very good seer as well. Suddenly a boy from Ravenclaw came down and asked if he could speak to Aine alone. Aine left Amelia, with Amelia's encouragement of course, to talk with the boy as Amelia stayed in her spot. As she read she heard something by the lake and walked down to see. He was just gazing out through the trees with short wavy light brown hair blowing with the breeze. He looked very much like Sirius but younger.
"Excuse me?"
The boy turned and gave a charming smile. He had high cheek bones with light grey eyes as he flickered his eyes to hers. She felt her heart skip the beat as the boy says to her.
" Oh, hello there. Sorry if I startled you I was just admiring the view." She slowly came to where he was to see he was looking out on the lake to the direction of the castle. It was breathtaking as the leaves were all on the ground, giving an orange autumn hue to the scene.
"It's beautiful..." She whispered.
"...Kind of like you."
That's when Amelia fell in love with him.
"My name is Amelia...Amelia Evans, what's yours?"
"...Jonathan...Jonathan Aragon."
Jonathan Aragon was alone in the world before he entered Hogwarts. His mother, Claire Belladonna Aragon, a young witch, died giving birth to him while his father refused to admit he was his child. Orion Black had a one night affair with another woman that is still unknown to this day, but Jonathan didn't want to press on it nor want to cause grief. Instead he went to an orphanage and grew up there til he got his letter. Right when he entered Hogwarts he met an older boy named Sirius Black, who looked very much liked him, but didn't say anything.
After that encounter, Amelia and Jonathan would be seen walking around together, with smiles and laughters always on their faces. It was nothing but warmth between them with happiness like James and Lily. During the holiday they would all go to Potter's house and had an early grand christmas party. That was when he asked Amelia to go to the Yule Ball and to be officially together as boyfriend and girlfriend, and had their first kiss.
This was also the same time when Sirius was living with the Potters, after he left his own strict pureblood family. Jonathan was a Ravenclaw and was a third year as well, so he never really met up with the infamous marauders of Hogwarts. When Lily brought Amelia with Jonathan, Sirius kept a watchful eye, feeling a strange connection with the young boy. Finally, after countless times Sirius questioning him, he found the truth about Jonathan and gladly took the boy with open arms as his brother.
Throughout that year was just memories of cheering for the tournament and trying to spend as much time together, their little gang would. Of course Amelia and Jonathan would always wander by themselves, but of course would help the four hooligans with a few tricks here and there. There was a small thing where Amelia really loved the boys like brothers but she never really liked Peter. She always thought it was because he tried to ask her to the Yule Ball and she said no, but he would always lurk around, trying to talk to her.
"H-Hey Amelia."
Amelia was in the library reading til she looked up to see Peter nervously standing across from her.
"Oh, hi Peter, what's up? Need another potion for the sniffles?"
She tilted her head as he replied,
"N-no…Just wanted to say-"
"Sorry about that Amelia, my potions class went a bit longer than usual."
"Its fine Jonathan…What were you trying to say Peter?"
"N-nothing."
Though she had a few of those moments, the rest of her time at Hogwarts was just amazing. It wasn't until Amelia found out about Remus' problem, was when her concern grew. Amelia and Jonathan worked out a potion to try to help Remus gain control of his mind when he transformed. They finally perfected it and gave it to him right before he turned, waiting the next morning.
Amelia was asleep in the carriage with the rest of Beauxbatons girls while Jonathan woke up early and sat by the trees close by the lake, close enough to the school, but far enough for some privacy. It wasn't until he saw a stag, a black dog, and a rat come towards him, making him rush over and ask,
"So did it work?"
Sirius changed back first as he gave his brother a hug,
"Usually Remus if fine when one of us was there but with the potion he was completely sane. He didn't do anything, just sat around, stretched, no harm at all."
"Really thank you."
Jonathan turned to see Remus behind them, looking exhausted but happy.
"Jonathan!"
They turn to hear foot steps as the familiar voice belonged to Amelia. Amelia rushed down to see them all smiling as she quickly gave Remus a hug.
"It worked, it worked, it worked!"
Before Amelia went back to Beauxbatons, Jonathan took her to the same spot they met and asked her,
"When I graduate, will you meet me on this spot?"
"Of course...I wouldn't miss it for the world."
Jonathan escorted her to the carriage, carrying her bag, as the rest of their friends were waiting for her. Amelia gave them each hugs, while Aine waited for her.
"Hey Aine, see you around in the summer?"
Sirius says to Aine, making her giggle.
"In your dreams Sirius~"
He winked at her as Amelia takes Aine's hand to go to the carriage after giving the last good bye to James. They went back to their school to finish off the year, before heading back home for the summer.
Then the years passed, going through a blur but Amelia remembered her promise to Jonathan. They would write and see each other during summer break and winter holiday, but it was still hard to part with him each time. James, Sirius, and Remus joked that he may as well placed a ring already, while Lily hushed them with a small giggle. Of course after they graduated at eighteen was when James asked Lily to marry her, where Sirius was the best man and Amelia was the maid of honor. It was a beautiful wedding, but right when Lily threw her flowers and Amelia caught them, Jonathan knew he was going to marry her.
Then two years past, and it was finally the day they would meet...
Amelia stood in the same spot, staring off at the castle as she heard distant fireworks and happiness. She didn't realize the sound of footsteps until she felt a hand gently touch her shoulder. She turned around to see Jonathan, wearing his best robes, while Amelia wore her soft green lace gown, making her look very angelic. She congratulated him but he gently hushed her lips with a soft kiss, taking her in his arms.
"My dear Amelia...I don't think I can bear another day without you..." He leaned down to her as he gently placed his forehead against hers.
"Jonathan...I feel the same way." Then slowly he sank onto one knee and looked up at her with a black velvet box opened.
"Then will you, Amelia Evans, take me as your husband."
"...yes...Yes!" Sudden shouts appeared from the trees as friends and family came over to congratulate them. They got married and later on got pregnant. They told Lily and James first as he exclaimed,
"Your pregnant?!"
"Yup, three week along."
Lily's cheeks suddenly turned bright red, matching her hair as Amelia stares at her suspiciously.
"…Sis…Is there something you're not telling us?"
"Well um…I was going to tell you later but…James and I want to get a baby too."
"WHAT?!"
Amelia and Jonathan made a huge commotion that when Sirius and Remus came, they thought someone died. Instead it was an amazing moment as James exclaimed,
"Sirius, I'm going to be a uncle-in-law!"
The two witches sat on the couch, chatting while the men were all standing talking around them. Peter finally came in and heard the new.
"C-congradulations you two!"
"Awww thank you Peter."
"I still can't believe my brother got his new wife pregnant faster than you James!"
Soon the house erupted of laughter as more playful banter was shouted out. It wasn't until Lily and Amelia dragged their husbands to the hallway to tell them something. They all came back and the day continued. It wasn't until Remus dropped Amelia and Jonathan back at their house, was when they told him to sit down for tea so they could talk to him.
"Ah, how is it I feel like I'm not just here for tea."
"Well one, just wanted to give you another box of these."
Amelia placed a small crate next to him of potions as he gave a smile,
"Ahhh…You knew I was going to ask for more."
"Always prepared."
As she sat down, he placed his hand over hers and have a squeeze,
"Thank you…"
Jonathan gave a little cough and cleared his throat, making Amelia chuckle.
"Another thing is that…Remus we know we're going to have a baby girl."
Remus' eyes widened as he smiled at them,
"What so soon? Oh Amelia you should have waited to find out."
"Oops? I couldn't help myself, I was just so excited! But that's not the point…"
Jonathan placed both of his hands on Amelia's free one before looking back at Remus and said,
"…We would like you to be her Godfather…"
Shocked was on Remus' face til he finally spoke,
"…M-my condition."
"We don't care."
"I can't h-hurt her."
"But you won't"
"But…b-but-"
"Remus…We've known you for years and you would never hurt our baby. We know that you're a werewolf, but you never asked to be one. You have a gentle soul, one I would gladly have my daughter around you…Make you a more permanent part of our tightly knit family."
Remus could see how similar the two sisters were as he felt the weight on his shoulders dissipate. He looked back at them and smiled,
"Of course…I would love to be her Godfather."
Soon the couple told Aine to be the Godmother, which she was crying in tears of joy, barely audible when she accepted. Soon the two were preparing their home for their little bundle of joy, excited as they sat in bed one night thinking of baby names.
"What should we name her, Amelia?"
"...How about Serenity?"
"Really I prefer Alice."
Amelia muses as she kissed her husband on the cheek.
"Why do you want to name her Alice?"
"Alice means nobility and some places it means sweet. I think it would be appropriate to call her a sweet nobility, one who will do what's right."
"That is a lovely name."
"Why do you want to call her Serenity, love?"
"...The mean means peacefulness, serene...Our child will have a rough life but she will bring the storms in people's hearts at ease..."
"Well, then it is settled...Serenity Alice Aragon."
The year passed as Amelia gave birth to Serenity October 1, 1979. It wasn't until a year later Harry was born July 31, 1980. Both women held their children in their arms and smiled, as happy fathers sat close by.
" That means they'll be in school together!"
"Oh goodness…Imagine these two going to school together and forming their own little band of misfits."
The happiness was soon short-lived, shattered by a vision that Amelia received.
"Is this true?"
"Yes...He's coming for us...For me..."
"Why?"
"He wants...me."
He looked at his beautiful wife as they sat close to each other while looking at they daughter in Amelia's arms. She laid peacefully snugged, snoozing while Jonathan looked back at his wife.
"What should we do Jonathan?"
"Don't you already know?"
"...I can see many possibilities but all end with..."
"What about her?"
"...I know what we must do but that means...She will be dead..."
Jonathan listened to his wife explaining that we must tell their friends except a few that their daughter was dead from SIDS, sudden infant death syndrome. Then they would hide her at his old orphanage. They talked long for a while as they realized this was their only way. They both decided to write to their daughter as they prepared a few things for her. They took a trunk and started to place in things that she could remember them by, and to have for when she becomes a woman.
He watched his wife cry and finish her letter. She gently kissed him as he gave one back before switching on a light at the desk and holding their daughter. He sat there writing as tears also poured from his eyes as he looked at his baby girl. Her eyes were opened as she stared at him. The little infant gently patted his cheek as if to remove a tear as he gently hugged her, rocking her in his arms.
"Jonathan...We can't do this..."
"But we must...For the future...For her." He felt his wife's arms wrap around his neck and giving a soft kiss on top of his hair before she gently took the baby from him to let him finish his letter.
They prepared for weeks, preparing what to give and lastly placing their wedding bands in a box with another letter inside. They tried to act normal around their friends and family but at home they try to make most of their time with their daughter. Of course they couldn't tell Sirius what was happening because he was off away on a mission, still not even knowing her official name besides the face that Jonathan picked the name Alice in it. They placed a letter within Serenity's things, hoping to give it to him in the future.
Then, it was two week before October 31st, Amelia and Jonathan took their child to an orphanage, the same one that Jonathan was raised in. They left their child in a small basket as they disappeared into the night. They even went to Hogwarts to give Dumbledore the trunk as they tried to remain strong for their daughter as they officially announced to everyone that their daughter was dead. Lily and James never knew because they went into hiding with Peter as their secret-keeper, the only person who knew were Remus, Aine, and Peter. The couple assumed the other would just hear through word of mouth.
Amelia's POV
Her heart ached after leaving her child, after a week of not having her in her arms.
"Shhh...It's all right dear, she will be safe from him."
"But she won't know who her family is for a long time..."
"I know but you said it yourself, she has a big future ahead of her and she needs to be alive...Are you ready?"
They were in their humble home as they heard the wind howl outside, and the branches scratching against the windows. It was their time and Amelia knew this is what she had to do for her little girl. Amelia gave her husband one last kiss.
"I love you..."
"I love you too. I'll try to fend them off as much as possible…And we will watch over our little girl from the stars."
"Of course." Her husband gave a gently embrace before letting her run to the second floor, destroying all evidence of there being a child. She could hear the sounds of spells behind the door as she slowly sat at a chair and leaned an elbow against the tattered table as she saw the room completely destroyed, burnt to ashes. She let a small tear appear on her cheek as she quickly wiped it away.
"In here!"
A sudden bang at the door as it fell onto the group with men coming in with horrible grins. They all moved away to allow one man come in...
Voldemort.
His face twisted to give a toothing smirk as he entered inside, like a slithering snake as he looked around the torched room.
"Ahhh...I like the decorations you've made for you child."
"...There is no child. She died from a disease..."
"I'm sorry to hear that my dear, my sincere condolences...But you can help create a better future...One that your daughter would have been proud of. " He came a bit closer as she quickly stood and moved away from him.
"...Proud? Proud?! Then you truly are a fool! You want to hear about your future...Yet I already know what will happen." She started to laugh. She looked to see the smirk on Voldemort's face fade to sneer.
"The prophecy will come true, someone will defeat you! You will die and for the rest of your followers...I hope those dementors get their fill when they see you in Azkaban!" Her eyes looked to see each of their faces. She noticed a familiar face...It was Peter Pettigrew as she took out her wand to point at him as the others pointed their wands at her.
"You! YOU BETRAYER!" She yelled as she stared at the cowering fat man. He was one of James' best friends, one that Amelia never liked. She looked deep into his eyes to see what future lie ahead as she whispers,
"No…No, no, no…Sirius thought it was Remus but you. You are going to get them all killed…"
The vision was one of Lily and James…Dead.
"Sorry Amelia, if you actually came with me instead of your bastard husband, maybe things would change… " He snickered as she glared back.
"You sold out your best friend!"
"You don't understand."
"I do, I'm just a coward like YOU! I hope one day Sirius finds you and KILLS YOU!"
That's when one man, she believed was Greyback who dragged in Jonathan's body and threw in on the floor. She kneeled down and held onto him with a tear down her cheek
"J-Jonathan…"
She slowly looked back at Peter.
"I would never go with a coward like you…How could you…To your own friends, we treated you like family…"
"Ahhh If you don't want him we can always kill him...Come with me. If power is what you seek then join me by my side...We can rule the world. A fair trade, use your gifts to help me and you will be the most powerful woman next to me."
Voldemort have a hiss at her as his snake like eyes followed her as he extended a hand out to her.
"Then may death accept me now...Avada Kedavra!"
She pointed the wand at herself, suicide as she slowly faded to death as she received one last vision.
An image of a little girl in Hogwarts robes, and soon jumped to blue ones in Beauxbaton. The girl changes slowly, soon the girl changed from a little girl to a young woman. She had light brown hair in the shadow but when she stepped into the sun it became like golden rays of silk strands. The young woman turned as her bright green eyes looked at Amelia, set in a face with soft but defining features. The gentle waves of the girls hair blew with the wind. Soon the scene turned to look what was a battle field. Her clothes were then tattered but she had a look of determination as someone came up behind her. It was Harry. He was a young boy now and looked like James...But with Lily's eyes. He placed his hand on the girl's shoulder and soon more people appeared behind the girl as they looked at Amelia. They were soldiers...warriors that will fight against Voldemort..Amelia took a step to look at the girl...Her little girl as the vision fade. She couldn't see the last part where a dark shadow figure was next to her daughter...Holding her hand.
Amelia blinked as she looked at her husband and reached out to hold his hand as she faded to her death.
