Abby POV
That same night, after we all helped Amy up, she'd already got back sober. She had a shower, went to bed, and slept until dinner. I didn't go back to my room, I wanted to stay with her every minute. I slept on Olivia's bed until I felt someone covering me with the blanket I dropped.
I opened my eyes, and I saw Amy smiling at me, stroking my cheek.
"You awake, Ab?", she said when she saw me.
I just opened my arms toward her, and she hugged me tight, pulling me out of bed. I lay my head on her shoulder and finally felt what a big sister felt like.
Not that Liv didn't give me all of that attention, but I always dreamed of being loved by Amy, and here I was, actually hugging her.
Suddenly she started to cry, and I couldn't help but ask her what was wrong, but she only squeezed me tighter and sobbed harder.
About 5 minutes later, she was able to speak again. "I'm so sorry Abby. For everything. For all of those years, I treated you like bullshit. I always felt like an outcast since the day you were born. I was always jealous of you on everything; you're the youngest, always caught everybody's attention and nobody was even looking at me. Also, you're the only blonde in the family, so everyone of course died for your hair. And then you came here, and got sorted to Ravenclaw just like mum, which was my dream! But I was just a stupid, stupid little tween. Please, Ab, give me a chance to make it up to you for all of those years".
I was speechless. I didn't know how jealous my sister was of me! I hugged her for a long time, then after a couple of minutes, I spoke.
"Oh, Amy, of course, I forgive you", I hugged her again. "Of course, I'll let you start over. I'm so happy you're my sister. I'm so proud of you. And you know, I was always jealous of your beauty, but I held it back because I thought maybe someday you won't be angry at me anymore. But otherwise, I was never angry at you, and I never hated you, Ame. I love you." I sobbed into her shoulder.
"Shh", she calmed me down. "It's okay, sis. I'm here. I love you too. I promise to be a better sister."
"Me too".
After a few minutes, we both calmed down and I remembered: "Hey Ame, I just realized – there's... someone else you should probably apologize to".
"Who?"
"Albus".
She sighed. "Fine. But we'll do this together."
"I'll walk with you until the entrance of the common room, and from there you'll go alone, okay? This convo has to be private".
She took a deep breath. "Okay".
We walked toward the Slytherin Common Room, but she spotted him on the way, reading inside an empty classroom.

Amy POV
"Get in there", Abby whispered to me.
I was paralyzed. I couldn't walk inside, I just couldn't.
I felt both angry and sorry, but I needed to do this.
I walked into the empty classroom and closed the door behind, silent.
He didn't speak either. I don't think he even noticed I entered.
"So..." I mumbled after a few minutes. "Listen, Al... I-" I paused and sighed, as he closed the book and turned to face me.
Green met green. I felt the blood flow to my cheeks.
"I'm so sorry Al", I didn't look away from him, and I cried again just like I did 15 minutes ago. Tears were pouring uncontrollably down my face as I spoke.
"I misjudged you because I was so afraid you hated me, and I didn't read the whole picture. I love you Al. I really do. I'm sorry". I sat down on a chair and covered my face with my hands. Suddenly I felt him pulling me closer to his chest, although my head reached more the lower part of his stomach. His body heat felt oddly comforting. I put both my arms around his waist and cried again.
"I'm sorry too, Amy", he answered, caressing my hair. "I was mostly angry at you for misjudging me, but I shouldn't have spoken that way on first place. But I was also angry at the others too. Even Olivia won't talk to me", he took a deep breath. "But it's fine now. And Ames... I love you too, silly."
I got up from my chair and jumped on his embrace, wrapping my arms around his shoulder and my legs around his waist, and burying my face into his neck.

Albus POV
It was one of the best moments in my life. I forgot about everything while breathing in Amy's perfume.
"You smell great", I whispered into her neck. She chuckled and I felt her having goosebumps.
"Okay, you're kind of heavy", I said after a while and put her down.
Green meets green once again. I put her down without breaking eye contact. Her eyes were tearful as she held both of my hands and moved closer.
"Is this it?", I whispered so quietly, because we were really close now.

Amy POV
I wanted to kiss him so badly.
His voice was so darn sexy when he whispered! Ugh!
I felt goosebumps again and nodded.
Instead of waiting for a century, I pulled him towards me and kissed him, hugging him tightly.
-
Albus POV
It was the best sensation in my life. Honestly.
I felt like shouting "Heck the whole world". Amy Angelica Greenfield is kissing me. She's officially mine now.
-
Amy POV
And Albus Severus Potter belongs to me now.
No better feeling.

Abby POV
"Quite a surprise seeing you here doing nothing, Ravenclaw nerd", I heard a chuckle. It was Fred Weasley II, with my sister Olivia, as always.
"Hey".
"Why are you out here anyway?"
I smiled as I opened the door, revealing Amy and Al kissing softly and giggling. We watched them, "aww"ing quietly.
They spotted us eventually, then smiled, cheek to cheek, their happiness (and mine) burning brighter than the crispest summer sunset.
