"I don't know how you slept through that, Amelia!" Lavender was saying as they ate their breakfast. "I mean, the whole house was awake!"

"It's honestly the first good sleep I've had in a really long time." she shrugged. "Anyways, I don't see the big deal."

"The big deal? Um, I dunno, maybe Sirius Black! Attacking someone in their sleep?" Lavender cried. "And Ron of all people!"

"What does that mean?" Amelia grinned slightly. "Ron of all people?"

"I just mean that it's expected for things like that to happen to Harry Potter or something, but Ron's never done anything like that." she said aloof.

"Ron does just as much as Harry." Parvati pointed out.

"But Ron is Ron, and Harry is Harry." She rolled her eyes. "Harry is like the Boy Who Lived and all that. He's special and different and does all these crazy things."

Parvati and Amelia shared a look with each other and grinned.

"What?" Lavender said.

Amelia tossed her hair and batted her eyes. "Oh Harry! He is so wonderful!"

"Harry Potter is amazing!" Parvati giggled. "Isn't Harry just the best?"

"Harry Potter is the most incredible person!"

"I love Harry Potter!"

"Harry Potter is my spirit animal!"

"Guys!" Lavender protested. "I am not in love with Harry!"

"Oh right! You're in love with Ron!" Amelia laughed as Lavender's mouth opened in shock.

"Because Ron Weasley is so brave and loyal." Parvati joined in.

"And Ron got attacked by Sirius Black himself. And lived to talk about it!"

"Guys! Please!" Lavender whined.

"Okay fine." Amelia laughed and sipped her pumpkin juice. "We'll stop. But only because we know how much Ron means to you."

"Amelia!" Lavender smacked her.

"Okay okay. I'll actually stop this time."  She laughed.

Parvati whispered, "I'm not stopping though. She's never living this down. Lavender is totally in love with Ron."

Amelia snorted and choked on her juice, Parvati slapped her back and smirked to herself.

"Amelia!" Oliver Rivers called out behind her. "Darling!"

"Oliver! Hey how are you?" She beamed at him.

"I'm grand how are you?"

"Yeah I'm great." She forced.

Oliver looked at her intently. She could tell he didn't believe her for one second. "Right. Do you want to come for a walk with me?"

Amelia nodded and left the breakfast table.

"So what's going on?" He asked, his blue eyes boring into her. They walked out to the grounds where a winter chill still nipped the air.

"Something fucked up happened." She said slowly. Then she proceeded to tell him everything about the dreams and the incident with Cedric and the boy. Then finally she said, "and the thing that is the worst is how I feel about it. It's awful but I'm so tragically sad about losing my connection to Kalishterya, that boy was the only thing I had to go off of, and now there's nothing. And I'm so ashamed that that's what I'm saddest about."

"Remember what I told you one time?" Oliver stopped walking and looked at her. The small breeze tousled his hair, making him more even more handsome. Amelia could feel her hair in her mouth which was gross, but apparently only one person gets to look majestic in this breeze and that was Oliver.

"What?"

"Nothing you feel is wrong. My mom always said that feelings can never be wrong or right, they just exist. Like art," he smiled. "You can't make a painting wrong, it's just different."

"You should make greeting cards 'cause damn! That was beautiful." She teased and Oliver laughed. Amelia loved his laugh, it sort of started off as a cute chuckle and ended as something totally weird.

"Trust me darling," he said. "Keep that in mind and you'll be fine. So don't worry about you're feelings okay?"

"Okay so I'll just worry about Kalishterya instead?" She smiled dryly. "I can't find it now. It's impossible."

"We never even knew if it was real in the first place." He gently put a hand on her arm.

"I know it's real Oliver. I know that sounds totally crazy but I know with all my heart that it's real. I need to find it. Something is pulling me towards it. It's my home." She said simply, her aching voice told of her grieving and Oliver must have understood that because next he said:

"Alright. I'll help you find it then."

"What?" She cried. "I can't ask that of you!"

"You didn't."

"Oliver-" she started but he cut her off.

"You're one of my best friends Amelia, and I'm going to help you. I promise you here and now," he held out his hands like he was making a proclamation. "I will help you find Kalishterya."

Amelia put her palm on his cheek. "You're an incredible friend. What did I do to get so damn lucky?" She leaned in and brushed her lips against his nose.

"I mean it darling, I'll help you find your home." He smile and the pair walked back up towards the castle. They passed a group of Hufflepuff's on the way.

"Hi Oliver!" A gorgeous dark haired girl called out.

"Hey!" He gave her a wave and a smile.

"Who was that?" Amelia smirked and nudged him.

"Who?" He said innocently.

She punched his arm lightly. "That girl with the hots for you?"

"Mary? She's just this girl in my house. We talk sometimes."

"She's pretty."

"Yeah, she's really cool too." He grinned slightly.

Amelia laughed. "Get it on, lover boy!"

Oliver rolled his eyes. "Please."

"Oh come on! She is hot. And she totally likes you. Get it on!"

"Already have. We kissed in the library, next to the Herbology books!" He grinned and Amelia gave him a huge high five.

"Congrats dude! I'm impressed. She is way out of your league."

"Fuck you!" Oliver laughed. "I'm awesome."

Amelia looked at him seriously "that girl was a ten. You're like..... A four. On a good day."

"Ouch. That cuts real deep, Amelia." He clutched his heart in his hand. "Friends off."

"Okay fine! You're a five." She laughed.

"You're going to have to do better than that." Oliver shook his head and ran his fingers through his hair.

"If I squint my eyes you can pass for a seven."

"Alright, I'll take it." He smiled and put his arm around her. The pair walked down the halls and for a time, all was right in the world.
