Amelia got dressed extra special that Saturday. It was the first date with Liam since the ball. She felt a pleasurable shiver run up her spine as she gazed at her reflection. She looked great! A sparkling blue shirt that matched her eyes perfectly, and a long black skirt that was cut up the side.
Amelia tilted her head, wondering how to do her makeup... she smiled and leaned forward, starting to apply her mascara and eye liner, lipstick and then she put glitter from the corners of her eyes around her temples. Finally grabbing up her wand she waved it two or three times, each time her hair changing. From a long pony tail to curls, to a fancy braid, she finally settled on two long braids that fell across each shoulder.
She was ready!
Amelia left the dormatory bathroom and skipped down the stairs, holding her scarf and heavey cloak in one hand. She walked out of the Common Room with her shoes making a thud as she jumped out of the portrait hole. She was almost to the end of the stair when a large, beaming smile came to her face. Tonight was the night that she would ask Liam something had had been on her mind since the ball... would he accept?
Finally she entered the Great Hall and waited by the two large front doors, waiting for Liam.

Liam was extremely glad that this day had come. He was about to go out on a date with Amelia to Hogsmeade, something he had been wanting to do for sometime. As he went through his trunk, trying to find something to wear, he kept thinking to himself that he had to look better today than he normally would have.
He found a red button shirt that his aunt had bought him before school started and a pair of black pants with a dragon on the left leg that his grandfather sent him from Japan. Once dressed, Liam went about trying to make his hair lay down, without any success. Before he left the dormitory, Liam used his wand to turn his eye color back to blue so that Amelia would see his natural color other than the usual red.
As he put his wand back in his pocket, Liam grabbed his jacket and ran down the stairs to the common room. He climbed through the portrait hole and hurried down the stairs to the Great Hall. When he reached the large front doors, Liam saw Amelia waiting for him. "Wow, you look amazing! Are you ready to go?" Liam said while looking over Amelia.

Amelia looked up quickly to see Liam and immidiatly her heart started to pound. She gulped when he was too far up the stairs to see and smiled, blushingly, when he complimented her. She noticed how nice her looked and that his eyes were a deep blue instead of red. She pointed at his eyes and gaped. She shook her head and nodded.
"I am definalty ready!" she smiled and still shocked by his eye color change she opened the front doors. A cold wind greeted them as she stepped outside. Snow was falling gently and the sky was gray.
"Hogsmead here we come!" she shouted into the falling snow, twirling in the snow, her cloak and scarf flying about her. She stopped and smiled brightly at Liam who still stood in the doorway.

As Liam watched Amelia twirle in the snow, he realized how beautiful she really was. It also became clear to him that he should have dressed a little nicer. Liam walked down the steps and out into the snow where he stood and watched Amelia twirle even more. He asked, "How do you like my eyes? It's the natural color. And before you ask, I changed them to red because I wanted to be different from everybody else."

Amelia laughed, smiling brightly.
"I love it. And I'm glad I got to see your natural eye color." she smiled again and turned around.
"Let's get to Zonkos, shall we?" she asked, tilting her head and grabbing his hand, pulling him along.

"Thanks," Liam replied. He was glad to hear that Amelia liked his natural eye color. He was considering whether or not if he should ask if he should keep them the way they were then or the way they had been before, when Ameila said the should be headed to Zonko's. "Okay, let's go," Liam started to say before he realized that Amelia had already grabbed his hand and was leading the way to Hogsmeade.
"Why is it that you want to go to Zonko's anyway?" Liam asked when they were on the path to Hogsmeade.

Amelia slowed and fell into step with Liam, still holding his hand. She thought for a moment.
"I don't know, I like some of the things they have. If you want to go somewhere else, that's fine," She looked at him, lacing her fingers with his, waiting for his answer.
"Or we can go to..." she thought for a moment, "The Three Broomsticks?" she honestly didn't care, just as long as she was with him.

Liam was now walking side by side with Amelia listening to her speak when he realized that she was lacing her fingers between his. He was reminded of how he felt at the Halloween Ball, and was glad he was with Amelia. "Where ever you want to go is fine," Liam said with a smile. "It doesn't matter to me where we go."
By now, Liam could see the village of Hogsmeade, and he knew that what ever he did with Amelia was going to more fun than anything he had ever done before.

Amelia felt her face blush slightly at the thought of what she wanted to ask him. It had to be perfect! She thought. Although she felt that she was making a big deal when it wasn't, well to her it was.
"Ok, Zonkos then!" she laughed and started to run, pulling Liam with her.
"Race ya!?" she asked, laughing happily, her stomach still twisted with anticipation.

As Liam walked with Amelia, he couldn't help but wonder what she wanted to go to Zonko's for. Liam couldn't picture Amelia as one to play jokes on somebody. His thoughts were finally cut off when Amelia pulled on his arm and asked if he wanted to race.
"Yeah, okay. I'll let you have a head start," Liam replied.

She winked at him.
"Only because you know I'll win..." She laughed and dared him with her eyes to hurry. She turned and started to run.
It took no time to get to Hogsmeade. She giggled slightly and entered Zonkos. Just because she wasn't one to play tircks on people doesn't mean she didn't need a joke for her little brother for Christmas Break, She smiled slyly at the thought of Jason four feet in the air... she entered Zonkos with a jingle of the beel on the door.
She turned to Liam and whispered in his ear:
"I just want to pick something to get my brother back and play a trick on him..." she giggled again, "He deserves it..." she smiled, her eyes twinkling.
"Oh Jordan has brain washed me..." she stepped up to the shelves and eyed the many tricks and toys. She couldn't wait for the Christmas Break... Liam was going to visit her at her home the whole break. She was so exctied. and Jason was excited to meet him too. she turned back to liam
"I cant wait for Christmas break!" she smiled, "It's going to be so fun!"

Liam saw Amelia wink at him and he smiled back. He was going to let Amelia beat him to Hogsmeade, so he did know that she would beat him. He ran after her all the way to Hogsmeade. When they reached Hogsmeade, Liam followed Amelia to Zonko's.
"Oh, what did he do that makes you want to get back at him?" Liam asked slyly. He waited for Amelia to reply as he looked around at all the different joke items.
"Yeah, Christmas break is going to be great. It'll be the first one I don't stay at Hogwarts for," Liam said as he watched Amelia look through the different tricks and toys.

Amelia paused her hand in the air reaching for a toy. She turned her head slowly to look over her shoulder and looked at Liam, smiling michieviously.
"Liam," she said, "he's my little brother... what hasn;t he done to me that doesn't deserve to get paid back for," she giggled slightly and took down another gadget, but then putting it back. She smiled, memories flooding through her mind.
"I mean..." she said slightly, "all my magical expirences were because he annoyed me in some way!" she laughed again, Then sighed as she picked up another gadget. But nothing seemed right. Despite what she may say, she did love Jason... so pulling evil and magical pranks would be horrible. As he is already going through enough, having to wait another year to acually come to Hogwarts,
"I don't see anything," she said with a sigh. Then she stepped closer to Liam and smiled.
"Lets go somewhere else..." she sighed biting her lip, not sure where to go next... on her date. she squelled slightly, "there's this cute little tea shop that a friend mentioned, Cho and Harry went there once... we should check it out," she hoped Liam would agree. Every couple in the histroy of Hogwarts has been to that Tea shop and Amelia didn't want to ruina tradition!

"I wouldn't know, remember no siblings," Liam said jokingly.
Liam got a little nervous when Amelia metioned going to a little tea shop in the village. He knew of the place, and knew that people went there on dates. He didn't mind that, though, he did want to go. "Yeah, that sounds good," Liam replied. "I you know where it is, right? Because I have no clue."

"Well, he can't wait to meet you anyway," she smiled. Jason had writen a huge letter about how excited he was to meet Liam. Liam asked if she knew where the Tea Shop was, Amelia faked a hurt expression.
"Of course I know where it is!" she siad in a hurt voice,
'How could you say that!?" she giggled slightly and took his hand, leading him out the door of Zonko's and near the cute little Tea Shop all the Hogwarts' girls' fond of. Once there Amelai entered with a quickened heartbeat.
Every couple in the tea shop were snuggled or making out. Amelia bit her lip again. She didn't quit expect all the... romance. She looked at Liam worried, but hid it. She sighed and walked over to a empty table and sat down.
A nice woman came up to them and asked what they wanted to drink.
"A cup of Tea is all, thank you," Amelia said sweetly. She looked to Liam, the waitress waiting to know what he wanted.

"Why does he and your father want to meet me? What have you been telling them?" Liam asked curiously.
Liam followed Ameila to the tea shop, holding her hand the entire way. When they entered, Liam saw all the couples being very romantic and acted as though he hadn't noticed.
Liam followed Amelia to a table and sat down. He watched the waitress come over to them and ask for their drinks. Liam waited for Amelia to answer before saying, "Tea's fine, thanks."
As the waitress walked back to get their drinks, Liam said, "Sure is crowded, isn't it? I had no idea that their were so many couples at the school."

"Oh... just everything I know about you!" she laughed.
When he commented about all the couples in the Tea Shop, she nodded and looked around the tea shop and took a deep breath, sighing almost. She then smiled.
The waitress came with their tea and Amelia immidiatly began putting sugar and sweet stuff into it, trying to make the tea likable to her tastes. She looked up at Liam when she put in another packet of sugar and smiled.
"It must be sweet for me to like it," she then put in one more, her fifth one, and stirred with a spoon. Placing the spoon on the table she took a sip and nodded with delight.
"Perfect!" she smiled again and set the cup down on the table. Taking another look around the room, but her face was calm. She looked back at Liam.
"Yeah, I have told my dad alot about you. But then again I tell him everything. I told him that you live with your Grandfather, and that..." she faded with a blush, "That you are the sweetest guy ever," she then remembered her question she wanted to ask him, but gulped and took another drink from her tea.
"Have you told your Gradnfather about me?" she asked, trying to not seem so keen to change the subject.

"Everything you know about me? They wanted to here all that?" Liam asked. "Can't think why anybody would want to know."
Liam saw the waitress come back with their tea and said, "Thank you." He watched as Amelia began to put sugar into her tea, all five packets. "You must like it very sweet then," Liam said as he picked up his cup.
Liam began to blush when Amelia said he was the sweetest guy ever. He didn't think anybody thought of him that way, but was glad that somebody did.
"I would if he was ever home. But, I've told my aunt about you, and I'm sure she has told him about you," Liam said as he took another sip of his tea. "My aunt thinks you must be a wonderful girl, but you are a wonderful girl. My aunt says that you've got to be special if I like you."

Amelia nodded with a smile at his comment about her sweet tastes for tea. She sighed slightly. Then he said the comment about her having to be special and she blushed looking down shyly. It wasn't like her to be shy, but when someone gave her a complament, she always seemed to act rather shy.
She smiled at him and took another sip of her tea.
"So... what's your aunt like?"

"My aunt? Well, she's beautiful, smart, funny, kind, caring," Liam started. "She's my mom's twin sister so I know what my mother would look like, which is good. She looks after me when my grandfather is away. She used to work for the ministry as an auror, just like my parents and grandparents and everybody else who was good at magic."
Liam stopped to get a breath and take a sip of his tea before he continued. "She and you are a lot alike. You both care about me and make me behave. She spends most of her time taking care of me and my cousins, and she makes sure all of my things are in order and that I don't forget anything, especially my parents. She manages all of my money too, which is a big help since my grandfather is always gone."
