dead girl walking

Blood was splattered on Amelia’s face, dragging along Neville and Alice with her she made her way up to the Ravenclaw common room. She had to see Liam; her knife was still in her hand with her grip on it turning her knuckles a paper white. Getting to the door she stared at the door, the woman in the painting seemed to just stare back. Amelia looked to the knife in her hand, blood was dripping off it. Her breaths were slow and sharp; she swallowed looking back to the painting.

“You gonna let me in or?” Amelia was in normal clothes, she had managed to steal the password for this common room a few times. The painting just stared at her for a moment before swinging open for her, Amelia nodded and grabbed the hand of Neville dragging him into the common room. She hoped Alice would follow after her.

Walking in, a few gasps were heard all around. Amelia hadn’t seen what she looked like, but if she had she’d probably gasp at herself. A weird substance that looked like blood splattered on her face and in her hair, her hair tangled and messy, a knife in her hand and the scar on her arm.

“Liam?! Liam where the hell are you?!” Amelia spun around to look at Alice and Neville. Where was he?

Liam was passed out on the couch, Transfiguration textbook sprawled haphazardly across his stomach. He'd been up the entire night studying and had failed to make it back up to his dorm.

"Liam?! Liam, where the hell are you?!"


Oh shit.
He jumped up off the couch with a yelp, confusion written across his face. There was no way he could have possibly slept through the task and invoked the wrath of Amelia and yet, there she was, absolutely fuming and covered in what looked like blood and ash.

"I-I didn't wake up and-"
He ran a hand through his hair, walking forward and gently tugging the knife free from his girlfriend's hand. "Were you in the task again? Oh, God, Amelia I'm so sorry. What happened?"

"Fire."
Alice whispered, leaning against Neville. "It was bad. Really, really bad. Someone is dead but I don't know who." Liam stood open-mouthed, facing the trio in front of him. How had everything happened so fast? How had he even slept through the task. Amelia looked like she had been through hell. Liam set the knife down on a coffee table, ignoring the horrified stares of his fellow Ravenclaws.

"Are you okay? God, Red, I should have been there."
His hand went to her shoulder. Liam wasn't sure if she was angry or not-hell, she probably was-and as much as he wanted to hug her, he didn't want her to shank him, either.

Amelia looked over to Liam, her eyes stuck on him. During the task, during the smoke and fire and water and mummies, Amelia had thought of Liam. She wanted to see him badly, but knowing that he wasn’t in the stands made her more determined to go find him once she got out that bloody maze. Now all she wanted to do was speak to him, but her eyes were welling up.

She felt the knife be taken out of her hand, she glanced down to see it was Liam who had taken the knife away from her. Sniffing loudly Amelia jumped forward into the arms of her boyfriend. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him down to her level hiding her face in his neck and allowing herself to just cry.

Something she had never done before. But she had just feared for her life, she was terrified of things getting worse than that and Liam not being there. She just needed to let her emotions out.

"It's okay, Red. You're okay." Liam murmured, rocking Amelia back and forth. It was so unlike her to cry, to show vulnerability. Whatever had happened in the task had to have been horrific. "You're alive and you made it and it's over. You never have to be in another task ever again."

She was so much tinier in his arms than he had thought. Amelia, who always walked around larger than life, ready with a smile or a laugh or a joke or a snarky retort, who always seemed to Liam so much bigger than anyone else at the school. Amelia was his best friend and she was hurting and Liam was at a complete and utter loss as to what he needed to do.

"I love you, Red. You're alright."
He rested his chin on top of her head. He had done it. He had dropped the "L-bomb" but hell, he wasn't lying. If he had lost Amelia in the task he would have never forgiven himself for holding back, for not telling her. "I'm sorry. I should have been there. I should have been there."

As Amelia and Liam exchanged apologizes and consolations, Neville gazed into the fireplace. Images of burning hedges replayed in his mind. What if Amelia's fate had been different? Neville's life wouldn't be the same without her. She was one of few who could stand behind him even if they were standing alone,someone who laughed with him and not at him. Amelia was one of his best friends.

Neville smiled at Amelia and Liam and leaned closer to Alice. He studied the blood on Amelia's face and wondered if she needed medical help. But he didn't want to go to Hospital Wing - not yet, anyway. Neville needed just a moment more with all three of them to simply revel in the fact that there were still good people left at Hogwarts.

Amelia coughed loudly letting the tears roll down her cheeks; she pushed her head into Liam’s neck and began to slowly stop the sobs escaping her lips. It was hard for her to just break down like that, especially in a common room where anyone could walk in. But it was different with Liam there; she knew he would tell them to piss off. It was fine with Neville and Alice there too; they were a trio who stuck together through thick and thin. Although the trio had only recently begun to form, it was still a trio. She felt safe with them and Liam. More safe than when she was with other friends.

“I chopped the heads off of weird mummy things Liam… They were coming at me and Alex and then there was smoke and…” Amelia pulled back from Liam wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. Her checker shirt was still rolled up to her elbows. Her scar was still on show.

And then the l-bomb dropped, Amelia tried not to laugh through the tears sniffing to herself and whispering back to him. “You’re the best Liam, I love you too y’know.” Amelia pulled back from him for the second time. They didn’t need to kiss to show their affection, they didn’t need to be overly romantic like other couples were. They could just take the piss out of something and laugh together, that would be enough. “Don’t beat yourself up about it… I just… It was horrible and… I don’t even know what happened.”

Amelia turned to her best friends, tears stained on her cheeks with blood to match. “Guys what… what actually happened?”

"I... I dunno," Neville admitted. he had so many unanswered questions. What about the fire? Was it an element of the task that had gone severely wrong, or was someone out to get the tributes? Why hadn't the Pax gone out to rescue Amelia and the others? And who had the cannons fired for? Whose life had the Tournament claimed this time?

"It was awful." Neville said. "The fire came from nowhere. The entire school was frantic, even the professors. There were mothers... with their families, fighting just to get away from the crowd. It was a different sort of fire. It wasn't... normal. And the Pax - they wouldn't do anything. They just kept trying to force us. T-they tried to censor it. And the body..."

Neville's hands were shaking. He couldn't make them stop. "S-something isn't right here."

Charlotte and Morgan McKelvey slipped into the Ravenclaw Common Room, hanging on each other like magnets. The day's events had left them both exhausted. They should hurry straight up to their beds - that's what their father would tell them, anyway. But how could they sleep now, when images of burning hedges and hanging corpses were fresh in their minds? The girls wished they were far away. Even with both parents nearby and Dave Jr. just next door, Hogwarts just wasn't home anymore.

Morgan spotted the group of Gryffindors before her sister. "Alice Moreau," she addressed. She tugged Charlotte toward the Gryffindors. "Yes, you're Alice, aren't you?"

"We've just come from the Hospital Wing," Charlotte interrupted. "Alexander DeWitt was there."

"Our mother said you might be worried," added Morgan.

"She said he wanted you to know he was okay."

"Funny that we found you here!"

Amelia watched Neville listening to what was being said and what he has seen from the stands. She had a completely different point of view compared to Neville, he had seen it all unfold while Amelia was in the manic maze. Amelia nodded with agreement.

“Something certainly isn’t right…” Running a hand through her hair Amelia let out a small sigh. She needed to go wash herself off before she scared some other kids in the houses. She didn’t even know if some of it was her own blood, or whether it was all just from the mummies. Seeing Dave Jr’s sisters walk in and speak about Alice’s boyfriend, Amelia let out a relieved sigh. Thank god he was alright. Amelia turned to Alice.

“Go see him Alice. He’ll want to see you”

The twins could not stop staring at Amelia. Whose blood was it which coated her body? Was it her own? They hoped not - then again, having spent their entire evening in the Hospital Wing with their mother, the girls had already seen it all.

"He will," Charlotte agreed with Amelia.

"He will."

"Come on, Morgan," Charlotte took her sister's hand. "Let's go up. I'm tired." Morgan frowned. She didn't want to go so soon; she had so many questions left for Amelia and the others. Charlotte was always so... responsible. No, not responsible. Boring.

"Come on," Charlotte insisted. Morgan heaved a dramatic sigh and finally agreed to follow her sister up into the dormitory.

Neville looked down at the floor and noticed the puddle of water that was forming at his feet. His clothes were still sopping from the tidal wave that had washed the maze. How strange the wave had been - no witch or wizard, except maybe Albus Dumbledore, could have conjured so much water without help, and the Pax certainly had nothing to do with it. The wave, like the fire, seemed larger than anything a simple magician could create. The elements of the maze were largely out of whack. And then, there was the hedges...

"Amelia," Neville whispered. "Something else happened at the maze. Something... something I need to tell you about." He swallowed. How could Neville explain that somehow he made the plants move without a wand?

Amelia watched as the two girls wondered back to their dorms, that was when she remembered where she actually was. Within the Ravenclaw common room, if the head of Ravenclaw came in now they would probably get into trouble. Not even if she told the truth to why she was in here. Turning to Neville she gulped, she wondered what he wanted to speak to her about. Unsure of what he was going to say, she nodded stepping over to him and offering him a smile.

“What was it?” She would probably have to tell Alice and Neville a few things as well. They were all becoming close friends, and it seemed as though they were becoming a Gryffindor trio. From what she had spoken about with Alice, Amelia wondered if they would discuss something like that group Theodore was on about months ago. It was certainly confusing. Everything was confusing in that moment, and it didn’t seem like it would ever be resolved.

"Well..." Neville began. "You saw how the hedges moved, correct? How they... how they separated... just for you, so you could easily run out of the maze. You saw it." He began fidgeting with the sleeves of his sweater. They were soaking wet. "I... I don't know how, but it felt like... like I was moving them. In my head, I wanted them to move. And they did. It was as if I could feel myself controlling those hedges. But I didn't have a wand. I just... moved them."

Amelia nodded as she listened to Neville, her eyes widened as she heard of how he felt as though he was moving the hedges. It sounded very familiar, almost like when the first sparks flew out her fingertips. As though it was something he couldn’t control at the moment, something he willed to happen. Like what it felt being an elementium. Amelia glanced to Liam beside her, what did he think? They both had the same powers but, did he think the same as she did?

Amelia didn’t wait as she stepped over to Neville putting a hand on his shoulder and watching him for a few moments. “We need to go speak to Emma, or my mom. It sounds like…” She paused taking a deep breath. “I know how that feels Neville, and from what I know I think it might be…” Her eyes darted around the room and her voice dropped to a whisper.

“Elementium.”

"What?" Neville said in disbelief. Maybe he hadn't heard Amelia correctly. Neville knew about those kinds of people, the Elementium. Wizards and witches whose DNA was written with the power to alter the natural elements. In fact, there were several registered Elementium on the Hogwarts staff.

Neville wasn't one of them. No. Surely he would have known about it before now... wouldn't he? But what he had experienced down at the maze was something not otherwise explainable, and Amelia seemed to know what she was talking about. "Okay..." nodded Neville. "Okay."

"But first, let's go back to the Common Room. I... we need some rest."

Amelia bit her lip and watched him letting herself think of what to say before actually opening her mouth. “Elementium. It sounds like what happened to me when…” She paused. This wasn’t the best place to confide in someone, and she hadn’t thought it though. Even though she gave herself time to think of what to say, she just blurted out what first came to mind. As usual. “Yeah, let’s go back to the common room. We could talk about it tonight.” Amelia knew she would have to get Neville and Alice to come to her house.

They could talk about it there then, it was the safest place she knew.
