— Amelia on her views about being a witch.
Amelia "Mia" Lily Potter (b. 31 July 1980), was a half-blood witch, the child and only daughter of James and Lily Potter (nee Evans), and the younger fraternal twin sister to Harry James Potter. Before she was born, a witch prophesied that Amelia would be a new aged witch; capable of performing natural wandless magic that was often said to be difficult to perform and could only be reliably accomplished by witches and wizards of great skill. Because of the danger Voldemort posed as he was after Harry, James and Lily decided to hand Amelia over to a muggle family to ensure her protection during the wizarding war. Only a few selected people knew of her existence.
Over the next decade, Amelia grew up under the belief that she was a muggle, completely unaware of her true heritage. As a result of the natural wandless magic Amelia was able to perform, her magical abilities revealed themselves a bit later than usual (around when Amelia was 13 rather than 11-), even having those who were aware of her existence under the belief that she was a squib. This "late bloom" over Amelia's abilities, which was very unusual for a witch(wizard) confused the quill of acceptance and because of this, she never received her Hogwarts letter.
Amelia discovered the world of magic when Death Eaters raided her house in 1995. Peter Pettigrew, one of the few who had known about Amelia, revealed her existence to Voldemort in another attempt to "get on his good side". While Amelia had no connections with the prophecy regarding Voldemort and Harry, Death Eaters were ordered to kill her. They went in for a blind attack, killing her adoptive family however their plans of killing Amelia were thwarted when the Order (who had been keeping tabs on Amelia since their reconvene as her naivety with the wizarding world made her vulnerable with the threat of Voldemort's return) showed up. She narrowly escaped and was taken to 12 Grimmauld Place.
Over the next month, Amelia was kept hidden at 12 Grimmauld Place where she was told the truth about her origins and forced to leave her old life behind. She didn't adapt well to the sudden use of magic, only felt more like a freak when she discovered what she could do. Although initially reluctant to to study her magic, Amelia soon found herself wanting to learn, motivated by the thought that once she had control of it, she wouldn't be able to use it anymore, or better yet that she could somehow find a "cure". Amelia met Harry after his arrival though neither were aware that they were twins until Sirius sat the two of them down privately and told the truth.
Amelia enrolled at Hogwarts during the fifth year, and was placed into Gryffindor. Despite her being able to perform wandless magic, Amelia was given a wand as to help her fit in with the other students, however she was also given private lessons to help her learn how to control her wandless magic. She became very distant towards Harry, afraid that if she accepted him as a brother then she would be replacing the (adoptive) brother she once had and would often try to avoid him at all cost. It wasn't until after the death of their godfather during the battle at the Ministry of Magic, did Amelia start to truly learn to accept Harry as her brother.
Biography
Family Lineage
- "Now, yer mum an' dad were as good a witch an' wizard as I ever knew. Head Boy an' Head Girl at Hogwarts in their day!"
- —Rubeus Hagrid talking about Harry and Amelia's parents.
The Potters were an old, wealthy pure-blood family. The Potters descended from the Peverell family, through Ignotus Peverell, who passed the cloak of invisibility on to his descendants. The Potters are related to the Gaunts, who are descendants of brother Cadmus, who passed on the rescurrection stone as a family heirloom in a signet ring. But Amelia's mother, Lily Evans was a muggle born witch. Amelia's aunt Petunia is Lily's sister.
It is also possible that Amelia was distantly related, on her father's side to the Blacks, Malfoys, Weasleys, and the Longbottoms, and almost all other pure-blood families, making her distantly related to various witches and wizards, including Bellatrix Lestrange, Sirius Black, Nymphadora Tonks, and even her sister-in-law, Ginny Weasley, though the degree of consanguinity is not known.
Amelia's maternal relatives were the Evans and Dursley families.
Childhood
- "I can't explain it, just please, please take her. She'll be in grave danger if she stays with us. Please, take her - look after her. Promise me that you'll keep my daughter safe, that you'll guard her with your life."
- —Lily begs Mary to look after Amelia.
Amelia Potter was born on 31 July 1980 to Lily and James Potter, memebers of the (first) Order of the Phoenix at the height of the First Wizarding War: she was born minutes after her twin brother, Harry Potter. Before her birth, a witch (the same one that prophesied Harry's destiny) foresaw that Amelia would be a new aged witch, capable of using magic and spells without the aid of a wand. Her magic would thus bring an end to the death eaters. Knowing that Voldemort was already after Harry, and not wanting to risk loosing both children, Lily and James were forced to give up Amelia, at least until the threat with Voldemort was over.
When the twins were born, Lily held a christening: it was quiet and quick, and only James, Lily, Harry, Amelia and Sirius were there. Once the christening was complete, James and Lily spent their final moments with their only daughter before handing her over to a muggle family to raise her. Only a few selected people knew of Amelia's existence.
Amelia was given to the Bennett family shortly after her christening. Lily pleaded for them to take her child and keep her safe, only stating that Amelia's life would be in danger if she remained with them. Mary could see it in the woman's eyes that she was telling the truth, and agreed to take Amelia as her own. Neither Lily nor James wanted to part to Amelia, or any of their children for that matter, but they both knew that it would be the safest thing for Amelia until the threat with Voldemort was over. Unaware of their demise that would take place just under a year from now, both Lily and James wanted to find Amelia and bring her back home once Voldemort was defeated. After an emotional goodbye, James used the memory charm on Mary and Joshua Bennett to remove the memories they had of meeting James and Lily.
Amelia as a child
Being the first child of the Bennett family, Amelia was treated like a treasured gift by her parents. They showered her with love, and gave her all the love and support she needed. She took ballet lessons for a few years after she turned five, but quickly lost interest. From an early age, Amelia showed signs of intelligence. She was a very bright child and wasn't afraid to stand up for herself or others. To everyone that knew Amelia, she was a kind and gentle soul, with a smile always on her features. However, Amelia was noted to be stubborn at times, and got into trouble here and there at school. When she was little, Amelia had often stated that when she grew up she wanted to become a novelist.
By the time Amelia was five, she was blessed with a younger brother whom she utterly adored. Jackson's birth came as a surprise to Amelia, but it didn't take her long to fall in love with him. She quickly took on the big sister role, especially when he started school, and guarded him with her life. The siblings got along famously as children, though little bickering agruments would break out among them as they got older. Despite the moments that sometimes made Jackson unbearable, Amelia loved her brother. She felt like he was the best thing that ever happened to her.
As Amelia got older, she noticed a number of strange events that would occur around her. Whenever she felt angry or upset, lights would flicker and glasses would shatter. On one occasion, when Amelia wanted peace and quite, she wished for it so greatly that she unknowingly caused herself to go deaf for three days. Mary and Joshua were alarmed for the health of their child, and took her to many professional doctors. However, none were able to explain the sudden cause of hearing loss. When Amelia received her hearing back three days later, she puzzled both her parents and doctors. She tried her best to ignore the strange events that would occur around her, but no matter what Amelia did they always seemed to follow her. Despite getting along with her perfectly normal life as best as she could, Amelia slowly began to feel like a freak.
