Amelia Bones

[captain-prongs-potter]

James watched as she attempted to grab the snitch and he chuckled, capturing it quickly with a mock gasp of horror. “Excuse me, madam! Did I say you could grope my snitch?” He smirked. “You really should ask, it’s only polite.” He smirked and shook his head. “Or perhaps you’ve been talking to the wrong people. Everyone I talk to loves me. Even Evans though she refuses to admit it.”

[abadgerofhonor]

"Please, Mr. Potter?" Amelia gave him a smile. She hadn't done well in her flying courses and had early on resolved to simply transport everywhere through Apparation, though she had yet to figure out if she had a talent for that or if it was also horrifically lacking. "I shall keep my sources secret for now, I don't wish to offend you."

[charmingsirius-deactivated20141]

Sirius couldn’t tell if Amelia was truly flirting with him or not. He didn’t want to make an attempt and then be laughed at when she revealed she could be toying with him. Amelia was very attractive, and smart…not exactly the traits he looked for when wanting a shag. And then there was Lily. Since he’d been spending a lot of time with her, he knew he didn’t want to mess up what they could potentially have. So he merely smiled. "There’s no fun if you’re expecting it, Bones. It needs to be spontaneous."

[abadgerofhonor]

Amelia narrowed her eyes at his cop out. "A Gryffindor not rising up to a challenge?" She jibed at him, wondering if she could hit a nerve with that. Most men of his house, hell most people, responded well to such a jibe. She was curious though, so she didn't go much further. "Do you think I'm not spontaneous, Black?"

[charmingsirius-deactivated20141]

"Well, that’s all I’ve ever seen you do, if I’m honest." He remarked moments before she started pointing to their surroundings, discovering students breaking rules that Sirius thought were stupid to begin with. Rules had never meant much to him, he used to think they took all the fun out of life, until he met James and found it was much more fun trying to break as many rules without getting caught.

He smiled and lightly shook his head when Amelia looked up at him, referring to his lonesome appearance. Was it really so strange to see him without some girl or one of his mates at his side?

"I’m talking to you, does that count?"

[abadgerofhonor]

"Well, I doubt you'd be able to charm me into your bed, so no," she shook her head and laughed a little. She batted her eyelashes at him and clasped her hands beneath her chin. "Unless you'd like to try, you handsome dog."

[captain-prongs-potter]

He groaned dramatically. “You disappoint me, Bones.” He chuckled and leaned against her lazily, pulling a snitch out of his pocket and catching it absentmindedly as he spoke to her. “Are you trying to get rid of me? So you can go back to being a boring old people watcher?” He laughed and nudged her. “I’m trying to make your life less boring. Talking to the James Potter is in high demand these days.”

[abadgerofhonor]

Amelia allowed James to lean against her, watching him as he pulled out his snitch. She nudged him back with a laugh. "If you feel as though I'm worthy, then I shall accept your offer of pulling me up the boredom ladder." She reached out and tried to touch the snitch. "I've apparently been talking to the wrong people then, they seem to think you'd be better off as a toad. Of course, some of those Ravenclaws just may be curious for studies sake."

[charmingsirius-deactivated20141]

"What brings you out here?" He asked burying his hands in his pant pockets when he came to a stop before her. Deciding he might like to talk to her for awhile, James would be around somewhere, probably down at the Quidditch pitch, showing off for the usual crowd of girls that stalked them both around the castle. “Don’t you have some students to tell off or something? Isn’t that how you usually spend your time?” His face lit up with amusement, knowing his comment would stir up a feisty reaction.

[abadgerofhonor]

"Do you think I should?" She tilted her head, eyeing the crowd. She lifted her hand, lazily pointing to the students in the crowd filing around them to get to their next classes or whatever destination they sought. "I'm counting three wardrobe infractions, one student is on gillyweed right there, and..." She turned her eyes to him, lifting them down and back up again before smiling silently. "And what about you, Mr. Black? Don't you have a girl to charm?"

[captain-prongs-potter]

[James was exhausted. He had spent the morning running drills with the Quidditch team and it had been a rather tiresome practice. It appeared the entire team was off their game and James needed to get as far away from that pitch as possible. He hadn’t seen Evans in awhile so he thought he might go find her but got distracted by Amelia, sitting in the courtyard. He walked over and tossed himself down next to her.] ‘Lo Bones. Don’t tell me you are people watching, that is quite possibly the most boring thing you could be doing right now…apart from homework.

[abadgerofhonor]

"Funny enough," Amelia said, turning her head to look at James with a cheeky grin. "I've already done all my homework, I'm working my way up the boredom ladder, see?" She knocked her shoulder against his. "And what're you doing? I'm sure some people would put talking to Amelia pretty high up on the list."

[charmingsirius-deactivated20141]

Sirius had been in search of James, wondering where his best friend had disappeared too when he entered the courtyard and saw Amelia Bones. The feisty dark-haired witch appeared to be alone, taking in the sights. A smile stretched across his face as he confidently walked over. "Afternoon, Bones!"

[abadgerofhonor]

Amelia's head snapped up to focus on Sirius, who was approaching her at the usual relaxed pace that she perceived him as moving at all the time. "Afternoon, Sirius," she chirped, not at all as abrasive towards him as she had been when encountering him after all.

[abadgerofhonor]

[Amelia's studies had engrossed her for far too long and she wasn't entirely sure what to do now that she'd worked beyond what was reasonable for the curriculum. She could relax for the first time this semester and she didn't know anyone who would be able to get her to let loose. Maybe Sirius Black or Amycus Carrow, but she wasn't entirely sure if she was up for the flirting and strange feelings she got from such flirtations. So she sat in the courtyard and did some people watching, leaning back on her hands and trying to run what was going on in each group of friends through her mind.]

[charmingsirius-deactivated20141]

Sirius drapes his arm round her shoulders. In that case let’s take a wander then. And you can tell me why it is you act so stuck up when you’re obviously dying to have a bit of fun.

[abadgerofhonor]

Amelia gave him a catlike grin. I have no idea what you're talking about. I love this stick up my butt!

[charmingsirius-deactivated20141]

You’re pulling my leg aren’t you? You’re not seriously wanting to walk through an empty castle with me? Wouldn’t that damage your reputation? 

[abadgerofhonor]

As long as the destination is Gryffindor, I'm perfectly fine with whatever tarnish you bring to my reputation.

[charmingsirius-deactivated20141]

If that’s your idea of a date, Bones, you have seriously been missing out.

[abadgerofhonor]

I think it'd be a lovely way to enjoy your company, Mr. Black, and isn't that what dates are about?

[charmingsirius-deactivated20141]

So you say, Bones. Not everyone else agrees with that.

I think I can manage without the escort, but since you’ve scared away my date, maybe you’d like to take her place?

[abadgerofhonor]

I will accompany you on the way back to your dormitory, if you wish to call that a date, Mr. Black.

[charmingsirius-deactivated20141]

Oh, that’s right…you’re a prefect, you like to spend your free time keeping students in line. Fun times.

I was just socializing.

[abadgerofhonor]

It may not be fun, but it is necessary.

May I escort you somewhere or do you have a rendezvous you need to attend?

[charmingsirius-deactivated20141]

That entirely depends on the girls. I’m sure they have their preferred meeting spots. But for one on one meetings, I like somewhere more private.

What are you doing here?

[abadgerofhonor]

Patrolling, if I may attempt to do my job. And to you, Mr. Black, I pose the same question.

[jadedrparchive]

I must correct you, Miss Bones—the most delightful thing to see at this hour is you—and inform you that your ears have deceived you…albeit perhaps with a little help from me to achieve that end.   You won’t find any giggling girl here—

What if I told you that I was here all alone? And that what I was truly guilty of was trying to lure you into one of those dark, secret places? 

[abadgerofhonor]

You'll find no giggles hear, Mr. Carrow. And even if I were flattered by your invitations, I am offended that you would think me such a person to accept it!

May I ask what you are doing out of bed at this hour and why do you think charm would work on me? 

[charmingsirius-deactivated20141]

Wish I could say the same, Bones.

Just one of the lovely ladies from my fan club. Not that you would know anything about that, would you?

[abadgerofhonor]

And does this club hold its meetings in the broom closets? Or do you prefer some of the so cozy nooks of our hallowed halls?

[abadgerofhonor]

i. Amelia never married. She had a fiance once during the War, but certain circumstances drove the two apart indefinitely.
