"You're joking."

Ron had a piece of steak halfway to his mouth when harry had told them the news. Amelia swallowed roughly for fear of chocking. Surprise and a little bit of jealousy was welling up in her. "Seeker?!?" She was able to whisper in disbelief. "But.. But that can-t be possible- you must be the youngest house player in about-" ron started to stutter.

"A century," Harry said nodding with understanding.

You could see the wonder in his eyes over this whole situation as well. "Wood told me," he added as an after thought. Amelia gripped her bed sheets slightly, She had dreamed about playing alongside the twins for years in Quidditch. Hermione was silent perched on the chair on the other side of Amelia's bed. She said nothing of this matter her eyes silently scanning her book. Amelia started tapping her fingers wishing Danielle were here to take her mind of harry joining the team.
It just didn't make sense, Amelia had been playing Quidditch ever since she met the Weasley's. Harry just started and bam he's on the team. It wasn't that she was angry at harry she was just a bit irritated was all. Her eyes looked past the two and fell on Semira's sleeping form. In many ways she felt guilty for her feelings toward this matter. Here she was irritated that harry was on the bloody Quidditch team and there Semira was without her memories.

Things could definitely be worse for Amelia.

"Having a last meal potter? When are you getting the train back to the muggles?" Malfoys taunting voice echoed towards them.

He approached with a smirk Crabbe and Goyle flanked on either side of him. Amelia couldn't help the eye roll that escaped her but only met malfoys playful eyes on her. "Feeling better now Blondie?" He inquired the smirk never leaving. Amelia's about to answer back with a sneer when harry speaks up in her place.
"You're a lot braver now that you're back on the ground and you've got your little friends with you." He says coolly.

Amelia clamps a hand over her mouth trying to muffle her giggles, There was nothing little about Crabbe and Goyle. Malfoy puffs out his chest glaring daggers at the group. "I'd take you on anytime on my own," he claims.

"Tonight if you want. Wizards duel. Wand only-no contact."

Amelia makes a sound of disgust jerking into a sitting position. "What are you even doing here Malfoy?" Draco never takes his cold eyes off of harry as he answers her with a mumble. "You forget Semira's here as well and she IS my family so of course I'm here."
Amelia has to blink when he says Semira and family in the same sentence.

Maybe he doesn't hate everyone... "Careful malfoy. Your humanity's showing... Though I'm not surprised that the only girl you've ever cared about is the one who put me in this bed in the first place." Amelia replies smugly. Malfoy inclines his head toward her the smirk again gracing his lips. "And I've never been more proud."

Amelia couldn't miss the chance to roll her eyes again. With that Malfoy looks back at harry, "What's the matter potter never heard of a wizards duel before." Ron scoffs wheeling around. "Of course he does. I'm his second who's yours?" He retorts. Amelia starts to rub her temples, This was the last thing harry needs. "Crabbe. Then it's settled, Midnight." Malfoy states, then spins around and swaggers out of the hospital wing. Leaving that hostile and Slytherin Prince facade in his wake. Harry's eyes widen the moment he's gone. "What IS a wizards duel? And what do you mean, you're my second?" Amelia feels exhaustion wash over her but her hopes spike up when she knows after dinner she'll be let out of the hospital wing and can hopefully help harry with Malfoy.

She was not gonna be one of those useless girls that are always in the background.

"Well, a seconds there to take over if you die." She answers casually.
