Two weeks passed, and everything was fine, everyone was fine. In the halls, Amalia was standing with Hermione talking about all that had happened lately. The girls have bonded lately and they have become the dearest of friends:
-But why would they execute him? The poor bird didn't do a thing. Amalia said after learning that Buckbeak is going to get killed because he attacked Malfoy
-It's bad news for all of us, we don't want him to die
The call came to Amalia, and she turned around to see Harry coming toward them both.
-Hey Amalia, Hermione
-I'm off to see where Ron is. Hermione said with a slight nervosity in her tone
-Yeah sure. Amalia replied
Then they were two facing each other, Harry was scratching the back of his neck. She could tell he was nervous like he wanted to ask something
-What is it, Harry?
-What do you mean?
-You come, Hermione follows, and now you're nervous. Is there something wrong?
-I-I-I wanted to ask you if...
-If what? She cut him
-Just let me finish. I wanted to ask you if... ask you if...
-You are repeating the same sentence
-Okay, fine, do you want to go out on a date with me?
She was shocked she didn't feel the same way as Harry did but she didn't want to hurt him so...
-Yes, Sure, of course
-Okay.Umm... See you tonight at 8.
-Yeah, sure
Afterward, there was only one, standing all alone. Harry carried on his way, content after getting the answer, but he had no idea what would happen at 8.
-Miss Snape? Miss Snape? Professor McGonagall was shouting
-I'm here. The girl responded
-Oh, here you are child, professor Dumbledore, and your father would like to talk with you.
-To my knowledge, I haven't done anything wrong. Amalia asked worried about this "talk"
-Oh don't worry darling, it's not bad, actually, I pretty much think it's good news
-Is it too late to check again?
-Go darling, I think you will like the news
-Okay, Fine
She walked straight to the principal, who was sitting on his chair and her father standing behind him. They were inviting her to sit in the chair across from them
-I haven't done anything wrong, and so far I have 0 strikes. She wanted to make sure she wasn't in trouble
-Who told you you're in trouble? The old man asked
-Nobody, just a thought
-You are here so that we tell you that you are changing your dorm, you are moving from that room
-Really? So, that's it?
-Yes, you are moving to Draco Malfoy's dorm
Her face dropped, unaware of what to say. Draco Malfoy was going to share a room with Draco Malfoy under the approval of her father who would never let her do that ever in her life.
-I thought boys' and girls' dormitories were forbidden. She needed something that wouldn't lead to sharing a room with the Slytherin prince
-Since he called on you as Slytherin princess, and he's the Slytherin king, your father and I talked, argued a bit, and I convinced him that you both share a room. Mr. Malfoy knows already and all of your stuff is already there.
-I have one question
-Ask whatever you want
-How did you convince him? What is your method? Can you share it with me?
-That's 3 questions. Her father finally spoke
-Yeah, well, I am amazed
-I have a spell on a rose. On your first kiss, one petal falls. However, in "act", the rose fades. So don't think that I am not keeping a close eye on you. He explained
-That sucks
-And one more thing, you need to be in your room by 8
-Sorry, I can't tonight or any other night
-Why not? What is keeping you from being safe
-I have a date.
-What? A date? What do you mean? Who is that guy?
-Harry Potter?
-What? You are not allowed to date that boy, just don't!
-Why? It is just a date between friends nothing more
-Honey, please, do not date him. Think of him like your brother. Would you date your brother?
-I do not have a brother
-Promise me you will not agree to that date
- Dad...
-Promise me
-Ugh, fine, I promise
-You may depart now, Amalia, because I must speak to your dad immediately. Dumbledore said angry and upset at the same time
-Okay, thanks for the bad news. And she wandered away
-You told me that you had told her. Dumbledore snapped at Snape
-I couldn't, when I looked at her in the eyes, I couldn't bear the thought that she would not be my daughter after that.
-You better tell her Severus, or I will
-I will, I just need- I just need time
Amalia was walking in the corridor when a cold hand touched her shoulders. She shivered and turned to see the blond platinum boy who was smiling at her.
-Hey. She greeted
-Hey, are you okay? You seem lost
-I'm fine Draco, or should I say, roomie?
-Oh, I was planning to tell you, but I guess you already know
-Just got the news
-We have professor Flitwick, right?
-Yep, why?
-Can I walk you to class?
-Of course, I'd probably get lost again
He smiled at her humor.
-So, since we're roommates, we have to make rules right? Cause you know, you are a boy and I am a girl, and we're different. We need to take care of your various hookups and work out a lot of things. We need to make sure the beds are away from each other or my father will snap. Wait, snap, and snape, it's the same. I understand now why my father gets so angry all the time.
-Can you just shut up?
-What? Sorry, I didn't mean to annoy you. Just the rules, is it me or am I talking too much?
-Amalia please, shut up. He was starting to get angry
-I am nervous I guess but from what? I mean I've never been nervous. That's not true, I have been but only when...
He slammed her to the wall next to her, putting a hand above her head, obviously angry
-Don't you shut up?
She didn't know what to say so she blurted out the first thing that came into her head.
-No, I don't, and if you want me to shut up, you need to make me.
-Oh please, just shut up
-Make me Draco
After those words, he kissed her to shut her up. She kissed him back but kept standing still in shock. Draco Malfoy, the person she would share a room with, is kissing her right now. It's her first kiss. He let go and carried on his way without a word while she kept standing there wondering if what just happened was a dream or a reality. After a couple of minutes, she continued on her way, not wanting to be late for class.
After her last class, she headed to the gardens to breathe some fresh air. However, she noticed something. Harry and Hermione were dragging Buckbeak away from Hagrid's hut, while Hermione and Harry were on the top of the hill crying about Buckbeak's death. She wasn't blind, she was seeing two Harrys and Hermiones, so she decided to follow the ones on top of the hill secretly. They chased a mouse, then a dog, then a tree. She wasn't aware of any of their actions, she was just following them until she reached a crumpled old house and heard voices. Harry, Hermione, Ron, their professor against the dark arts, and someone else, a familiar voice, a voice she heard in the dark lord's castle?
She headed upstairs, and to her surprise, her father was added to the list as well. Both of them were talking about killing someone and then Harry shouted a spell at who?
She looked better, it was her father, he fell unconscious on the bed tearing it apart, that was when she got angry and yelled getting out from her hidden spot:
-You do not dare to harm my father
She looked around, the familiar voice appeared to be Wormtail, someone that she recognized. She was moving slowly towards him, holding him by the collar of his shirt in the presence of everyone in the room:
-You, you need to give me one reason to spare your life
-I will never see you again?
She slammed him against the wall so hard it almost broke. But she wasn't done. She kept walking in his direction, the wand in her hand, she wanted to kill him.
But he stopped her, Harry stopped her from getting her revenge:
-Stop! You are mad at him, I don't know why but please don't kill an innocent man.
-INNOCENT MAN? He hell is not innocent.
-See, I told you, Harry, please Remus, help him explain. Some random guy in there said
She turned to face him and his face dropped at her sight. He knew the girl, but she didn't know him, and all he said was one name:
-Elizabeth
She looked at him with a confused look. Her name was Amalia, not Elizabeth.
-My name is Amalia, not whatever you said
-Sorry, must've mistaken you for someone, it's just your looks, you seem familiar
-Well, you're not familiar, so...
-No, you know me, I'm Sirius Black
-Oh, the guy who led the dark Lord to the Potters
-How do you know about that? Harry spoke
-Because I've been searching for that man for years.
-Amalia, Stop it! Sirius is innocent darling, he didn't do it. Her father finally emerged from the ashes of the destructed bed
-How can I possibly know that? He plotted with the Dark Lord, and anyone who even talks with him is my foe.
-I'm not the one who led the potters to death. James was my best friend and Lily was too. I would've never done anything to harm them.
-I don't care about that. He does but I don't, I just want revenge for the years of torture.
-Years of torture? What years of torture? What do you mean? Hermione felt confused that her friend didn't say anything to her.
-If it wasn't you then who was it? She asked completely ignoring Hermione
-Him. That was Wormtail. I hate Voldemort as much as you do.
-Fine, I spare your life, but the ministry won't
-I know, but I'll think about that later
She turned to the man who made all her sufferings a living hell
-What about you?
-Amalia. Her father and Harry tried to stop her
-Give me one thing to spare your life.
-Amalia, don't, he's not worth it, please don't be a killer. Hermione said
-I am more dangerous than that, you just don't know me, Hermione.
The ginger girl gasped. She didn't know that Amalia was so mean. She never really knew Amalia as she never talked about herself leaving Hermione to share her whole story. She was about to talk but she was stopped by Amalia cursing and following a rat. Sirius, Harry, Snape, and Remus all followed her, and she stayed there with Ron bitten in his foot by Pad foot. She helped him out and found that Lupin transformed into a werewolf, Harry and Sirius fighting him, and Snape protecting his daughter.
-Harry, watch out! Amalia screamed, the werewolf was coming his way.
Then wolf whistles came out of nowhere, Amalia looked down, and she saw Hermione and Harry again. Harry followed him and Sirius followed Harry, and Amalia finally losing the grip of her father followed them.
She arrived at a lake, dementors surrounded Harry, and Sirius was on the ground, she rolled over the both of them when the wolf got her by the waist and bit her hard. She fought, screamed for help but nothing, everyone was busy with something, she needed to save herself but she couldn't, she lost a lot of blood, she was unable to move, her eyes were closing on their own, she was weak to even cast a spell.
Harry and Hermione hurried to the hospital wing to check on Ron and Amalia. Ron had woken up, he had been wounded, and so his case was simple. In another instance, Amalia was trapped; the doctor said she might not wake up, she lost plenty of blood, and no one was there to help her except for her mysterious savior who cast a patronus against the wolf. At least he was scared enough to run away.
In the room, Ron was eating chocolate frogs in bed, while Amalia was still sleeping, without any signs of life.
-Hey. Hermione said to Ron. How are you feeling?
-I'm fine, but she's not. He replied pointing at Amalia. That wolf got her pretty hard
-We know. Harry said
Severus was there as well, by his daughter, regretting why he let her go, again, and now he lost her, again.
In a hurry, Draco entered the room; Harry was about to start a fight with him, but the blond boy didn't care this time. He ran directly to Amalia's side and held her hand under the surprised faces of the trio.
-How is she? He asked her father
-Not fine apparently, she lost a lot of blood, we don't know why she's not waking up. He replied on the edge of tears
-She must wake up, right? I mean, your girl is strong, she's the bravest fighter I've ever met, it's not a little scratch that's going to kill her. Draco said while the others were in complete shock
-Is there something between you two? Harry asked angrily
Draco finally looked at him.
-Oh, Hey Potter
-I asked a question, Malfoy!
-Why do you care?
-I care for her, and I don't want you ruining that, we still have a date together
Draco was about to sarcastically answer but:
-No, you don't. Snape answered
-And why not?
-Because I am not allowing the two of you to date
-I'm sorry, professor Snape but I think Amalia can choose for herself
-She agrees, she doesn't feel the same way
-I don't believe you, she said yes to hanging out with me
-He said no Potter, just accept it. Malfoy protested
-It's none of your business Malfoy, you just stay away from her
-I am her roommate, and Blaise and I are her only friends, so don't think about getting me away from her.
-What? Girls' and boys' dormitories are forbidden
-Not for us, apparently
-What do you mean?
-He's the king, she's the princess. They must share a room
Harry was too angry with Amalia, who was his, not anyone else, especially not Malfoy.
He was about to protest again but no one cared about what he said, all their attention was focused on the unconscious girl.
At midnight, almost everyone had left. Snape finally left, but only after arguments with Malfoy, who stayed with her. Harry stayed with Ron, watching the platinum-blonde boy. Hermione was tired so she decided to sleep.
A few complaints were heard, as Malfoy jumped by Amalia's side still clutching her hand, slowly opening her eyes. The first thing she saw was Draco. She gave him a weak smile.
-Hey, how are you feeling? He asked worried
-Like being bitten by a werewolf.
He smiled at her stupid joke
-It was a hell of an attack. We thought you were dead
-I thought I was dead as well, don't worry
He was about to answer but someone opened the door with force. Sirius, was there to see Amalia, he sat by her side and said:
-You need to listen to me. I don't have much time but, at least, I'll tell you the basics
- What's happening? She asked worriedly
-Your name is not Amalia Snape, it's Elizabeth Potter.
