Amelia smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, lets go to the Shrieking Shake! I never went to see it," she stood and smiled down at Liam. She looked around at the Tea Shop, all of the costumers where snogging wonderfully as they sat at their tables. Amelia was glad to know her and Liam didn't seem out of place... She sighed softly and put on her winter cloak.

"You've never seen the Shreiking Shack?" Liam asked. "It is rather spooky." Liam had seen the shack a couple of times with his family when they went to Hogsmeade. Liam got up a few moments after Amelia, and put his cloak.
"Are you ready to go?" Liam asked Amelia. Liam moved toward the door, and waited for Amelia.

She nodded and walked out the door into the cold. The snow was falling heavier now and the sky was dark gray. The feeling of Christmas was high in the air. She smiled and walked toward the form of the Shrieking Shake in the distance.
"So, Liam. What do you usually do for Christmas? When you aren't going to your friend's house..." she smiled as she asked.

Liam could see the form of the Shreiking Shack clearly, even though it was snowing heavily. It was no problem to make out the shack even if you hadn't seen it before. Liam enjoyed seeing the shrieking shack when it was dark out because it gave it a more creepy look.
"Huh? Oh, it depends on if my grandfather is in the country or not," Liam began. "First two years of school, I stayed in the castle. What about you, what do you usually do?"

Amelia smiled in memory, she looked down as they walked.
"Well... Usually my dad puts up the tree and decorates the house with lights. Sometimes; he'll even put up a large baloon Snowman. Then on Christmas Eve, me and Jason each get one candy cane from the tree and get one present. Then mom reads a Christmas story to us, usually one that she just wrote. Then the next morning we get up at- oh I don't know, seven, and open the rest of the presents. then mom cooks a great dinner!" She sighed, wishing that her father didn't have to leave all the time. She looked up and realized that they were at the Shrieking Shake.

Liam listened closely to Amelia talk about Christmas at her home. He wished that his family did things like that. His family usually just had a Christmas tree decorated with magic, and not much else. He liked spending the holiday with his family, thought. Liam waited for Amelia to finish speaking, before he said, "Sounds like a lot of fun at you house."
Liam turned to look at the Shrieking Shack. "You want to go closer?" Liam asked.

Amelia smiled, glad she didn't have to talk furthur about her boring life. She nodded, happily. With that twinkle in her eye she walked beside Liam closer to the Shrieking Shake. It was huge! The windows boarded and the door nailed shut, it seemed. Amelia felt herself intrigued by the sppokiness of the house.
She turned to Liam and smiled brightly, "It's really cool," she said, "I think it's... definatly sppoky!" she smiled again. Then she felt taht she smiled way too much and let the smile drop from her lips. She looked back up at the Shrieking Shake and sighed slightly.

Liam watched Amelia as they walked closer to the Shrieking Shack. He had a small, half smile on his face. When they reached the shack, Liam heard Amelia speak. "Yeah, it's spooky," Liam replied. "I heard that there is a secret passage inside. I think it's on the ground's, but I'm not sure."
Liam looked up at the shack and watched as it swayed back and forth in the wind. Liam wondered how old the shack was and how it was still able to stand. "Amelia," Liam started, "do you wonder how a house as old as that one is still able to stand, even with the winds that blow around her? I know I do."

Amelia bit her lip... the house swaying. What if it fell on her? She'd die... she tried to force herself not to get too scared... Amelia was scared very easily. She cleared her mind enough to hear Liam say that there was a secret passageway. She smiled, forgetting her nerves for a few moments.
"You know! I bet Fred and George know!" she said excited, Fred and George know almost everything. Then her calm moment passed when Liam noted about the swaying of the house. She gulped and nodded, feeling nervouse again.
"Ye-yeah... I do...wonder that," she cursed her stuttering... know he would notice she was scared for sure.

Liam watched as the shack swayed back and forth in the mountian wind. Liam was interested in exploring the shack, and hoped that Amelia would be willing to go closer.
"Yeah, I bet the do know about it, they know all the other secrets," Liam replied. "I wonder where it is, though. I mean it would be cool to be able to see the inside."
Liam turned to face Amelia when he heard her speak. "If you don't want to go closer, I'll understand," Liam replied calmly. "If you want we can do something else, whatever you choose."

Amelia's growing fear was replaced with a feeling of hungry mishief. She smiled. Going into the Shrieking Shack would be fun! She looked at Liam and smiled. She was feeling brave!
"Wanna go inside?" her voice sounded slightly American, but she didn't care- all she wanted was to have some fun and not be scared anymore.

Liam waited for Amelia to reply as the curioustity grew inside of him. He wanted to go in and explore the shack up close.
"Yeah, lets go," Liam said with an mischievous grin. Liam took Amelia's hand and lead her down the path to the shack.

Amelia took his hand and let him lead her into the Shreiking Shack. Her nerves were pumping but she smiled with mishcief. As they neared the front door Amelia looked behind her, just to make sure no one was coming. It didn't look like it. The door was so large, but the door, unlike the windows wasn't boarded up.
She felt her breathing become heavier, but didn't care. The feeling when the snuck inside was wonderful. Now she knew why Jordan loved being a trouble-maker so much... Amelia smiled with the thought of Jordan brainwashing her.
Her and Liam opened the door and entered the Shrieking Shake.

As Liam and Amelia opened the door to the shack, Liam noticed how big the place truely was. As the door creaked open, Liam turned to Amelia and said, "Well, the hard parts done. Lets go and explore."
Liam had already stepped foot into the Shreiking Shack and was waiting for Amelia to join him before he continuted on.

Amelia's heart pounded harder as she took that one step inside. She looked around and felt her mouth drop. The place was just plain huge! She laughed slightly as Liam commented what she was thinking. She felt that mischivious part of her that she thought she had forgotten was starting to come out again. She walked inside furthur and coughed. The dust was overwhelming inside.
"Yeah," she coughed again, "lets do that!" she smiled that smile again and looked around once more. She knew she was excited. She always told herself that she would never once break another rule... never again. But it was just too hard. She knew she couldn't hide from her past forever. And she also knew that she would have to tell Liam sooner or later, but later would most likely win...
She jumped up and down on the balls of her feet and looked at Liam, her eyes twinkling.
"Well, lets explore!"

As he watched Amelia enter the shack, Liam heard her cough. Wanting to be sure that she was okay, Liam walked over to her and asked, "Are you alright? It is rather dusty." "Yeah, okay, lets check this place out. I heard that when Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban Prison he hid here," Liam said as he started to climb the stairs. "I don't know if its true or not, but it's what I heard."  |

Amelia shook her head. Oh no she was just fine! She took a deep breath to clear out her lungs.
"I'm fine!" she said. The twinkle in her eyes getting more bright. She was way too excited. She rubbed her hands together and smiled. As Liam started up the stairs, he said something about Sirius Black. Amelia nodded. She wished she was as brave as Harry to come here and defeat that murderer. But some say he wasn't a murderer at all. Just a falsly accused insane man... She sighed and started up the stairs after Liam.
"I wish I knew him." She said without thinking, "I mean... knew if he was innocent or not.... wow Harry is so brave," she added with a note of wonder, "I wish I was that brave! To take one a criminal like Sirius Black... but then again he could have been innocent... right?" She looked up at Liam as she asked her question, "Your grandfather knows alot of people... was Sirius Black innocent?"

When Amelia spoke, Liam turned around and listened to her. What she said made sense to him. Harry was quite brave to face Sirius Black on his own, well not really on his own, he had his friends with him. "Yeah, Harry sure is brave, the bravest person I have met, no offense indended," Liam said as he looked into Amelia's eyes.
"Yeah, I think I know what you mean about meeting Sirius Black. I have heard many great things about him, and some not so great," Liam said carefully. "My grandfather knew him once, many years ago when they both were in... Never mind, that's not important. But, what I have heard from my grandfather tells me that he was innocent, but I'm not really allowed to speak about it openly, no telling who's listening, but I believe so." Liam gave Amelia a small wink, trying to signal that Sirius was innocent, and then continued up the stairs.

Amelai noticed his wink and smiled. Liam knew so much. She wanted to talk about Sirius Black some more, but knew that Liam couldn't talk freely about him so she dropped it.
She started to follow him up the stairs while looking out across the dusty house. It was definatly old... but was it really haunted like everyone says? She sighed and coughed slightly again. She caught up to Liam and smiled.
"This place is so... wow!" she noted quietly, "Is it really haunted, i wonder?" Her eyes brightened more, if that was possible, but then she felt slightly afraid at the thought of ghosts haunting the place and she was inside, among them. She shivered hoping it wasn't haunted.

As Liam continued to explore the house, he looked into each of the rooms, hoping to see something interesting. As he was walking towards the end of a long hall, Liam heard Amelia say something. "I don't think it's haunted, I mean we haven't seen or heard anything have we?" Liam said as he faced Amelia.
Liam continued to walk toward the end of the hall when his foot went through a weak bored, causing him to rip the leg of his jeans. As he pulled his foot out of the hole he just made, Liam said, "Wel, that was fun. I don't think I'll be in a hurry to do that again."
