Amelia Stryker

All I see is dark, I don't even remember the game finishing. The last thing I remember is Harry shoot up in the sky.

Did he get the snitch?

I twitch my arm, feeling the soft blanket under my fingertips. I open my eyes slightly to see the ceiling of the hospital.

I adjust myself only to feel a slight pain in my back. Oh damn, did I fall off my broom? I hear movement to my left to see Remus sleeping soundly in the chair. He looks like he's been here for hours.

His hair is messy, like he was constantly putting his hands through it. The dark circles under his eyes are more prominent, and there's a slight bead of sweat on his forehead.

I move my hand to his, shaking it gently "Remus, Remus?" He moves a little before opening his eyes. Once his sight is set on me he straightens up, moving quickly to my side.

"Amelia, you're  awake" he breaths a sigh of relief. "Remus, what happened?" His smile drops before he answers "Dementor's were on the field, and they caused Harry to fall off his broom. You tried to grab him, but he pulled you down with him. I had never seen someone so calm in your situation. You grab Harry's wand and produced your patronus. You saved Harry."

I shake my head and sigh. He made me sound like I was a good person, a hero. I could never be the hero. "How long have I been out for?" He smiles "only a few hours."

He seemed so happy and relieved, but I could tell he was angry with me. "Come on, just get it over with." He gives me a confused look before I continue. "You know, how stupid I was to try and grab the broom. How I could've gotten myself killed."

He shakes his head sadly "is that what you think of me?" Is he serious? If I was in his position he wouldn't be able to get a word in, I would be screaming at him for almost getting himself killed. I didn't want to see another person in my life die. At least, that's what I kept telling myself.

"Your angry at me, you have a right to yell at me. Please, just get it over with" I say grumpily. I hear him chuckle before putting his fingers under my chin, lifting my head to look at him.

"I'm not going to yell at you, you saved a life. How can I yell at you for that?" I look to see if he's lying, but his words are genuine. "So your not mad at me?"

"I'm extremely mad at you. But I'm just glad your ok. " it brings a smile to my face. 

The moment ends quickly when madam Pompfrey entered. "Oh good, your awake!" Remus backs away, so she has enough room while she checks over my injuries. "All of your injuries have healed nicely. I say you should be able to leave tonight. Remus, be a dear and tell the others she's awake." He nods, looking to me one last time before leaving.

It's only a few moments before Percy, Ember, Cedric, and the rest of the team along with the golden trio barging in the wing. "Oh thank Merlin" I hear Percy mutter before hugging me. "Don't get your panties in a twist, I'm fine Percy."

Ember makes her way the other side while the others are in front of me. Oliver is the first to speak beside Percy " Amy I'm so sorry!" I grab the front of his shirt and pull him so we're only inches apart. "Never ask me to fill in, again. Am I clear?"

"Crystal" I give him one final glare before shoving him back, earning a chuckle from the others. "Amelia, I wanted to thank you for what you did. You didn't have to do it" I shrug off Harry's comment. "It's fine Harry, now did we win?" I say eagerly.

Percy chuckles at my question "no, Cho got the snitch while everyone was watching you two fall." Ember rolled her eyes "more like watching you being a badass. Seriously Amelia that was incredible what you did out there! I didn't even know you could do that spell."

I shrugged slightly "I didn't do that much, I just casted a spell."

"A spell most adult wizards aren't able to do that well." I chuckle at her enthusiasm. We all continued talking until Madame Pompfrey told everyone to leave. She tried to get Ember to leave, but with her charisma and her family's status she had agreed to let her stay.

"Lupin was really worried about you" she says, smirking slightly. "Well I'd hope so, I just fell fifty or so feet in the air." She shakes her head "no, I mean really worried. He was the first one to your side and stayed with you the entire time."

"Ember, he doesn't like me." He's a teacher for crying out loud. And it's illegal I might add. "Are you that daft, Amelia. Do you not see the way he looks at you?" I shook my head frantically "no! Because he doesn't look at me that way. Why would he, he has many other girls to choose from. So why would he choose a 17 year old girl?"

"Because he likes you! And you would be a great shag." I scoff "and how would you know that?" She scoffs at points to my body "please, do you not see those child bearing hips?"

It's only a moment before we both burst into a fit of giggles. Yes, Ember does annoy me and vise versa. But she is one of my best friends. Even though Percy will always be my best friend, it's good to be able to talk about girl things with Ember.

If only she would drop the topic about Lupin.
