Amelia Bones and the quest for Potterly love CH.1

Amelia Bones stirred in her cosy bed as the early morning sunlight filtered through the window's curtains, painting her bedroom in a warm, golden hue. She was halfway between sleep and wakefulness when she heard the soft pitter-patter of footsteps approaching her room. The door creaked open before she could fully comprehend what was happening, and her niece, Susan, burst in with boundless excitement.

"Aunt Amelia! Aunt Amelia!" Susan chirped, her voice brimming with uncontainable enthusiasm.

Amelia blinked her sleepy eyes, trying to process the sudden burst of energy in the room. "Susan, honey, what's the matter? Why are you up so early?" she asked, suppressing a yawn.

Susan's eyes gleamed with excitement as she jumped onto the bed and began bouncing up and down energetically. "Guess what, Aunt Amelia? Harry just wrote back to me. His parents have given him permission to stay here for a week!" she squealed.

Amelia inwardly groaned as she listened to the reason behind her niece's excitement. The unwelcome news had dashed all chances of her going back to sleep. Unfortunately, Susan didn't miss her aunt's less-than-enthused reaction to her announcement and quickly became a bit subdued as she asked hesitantly, "I-Is that a problem, Auntie? Did you not want me to invite him?"

Amelia quickly smoothed her expression to normal and rushed to reassure her anxious-looking niece. "Of course not, Susan. You know your friend is always welcome here," she said, sitting up straight in bed. "I guess I was just a little surprised since he's never come here before."

Susan stared at Amelia for a few moments before deciding to believe her Aunt's words. "I know. I was almost as surprised as you, Auntie," she said, returning to her usual cheery self. "Especially since Harry's parents always refused to send him here for the holidays, but I guess this year he managed to convince them somehow."

Amelia forced a fake smile while trying to conceal her true feelings. It came as no big surprise to her that Lily and James had never allowed their son to visit Bones Manor before, especially given the tense relationship between Amelia and the two Potter adults over the years. It still stung Amelia fiercely that Lily had prohibited her husband from seeing Amelia simply because she had found out about her secret feelings for James. It still hurt Amelia deeply to think about how easily James had severed their childhood friendship simply because his wife had asked him to.

Amelia shook her head as she stopped reminiscing about the past and returned to the present. Immediately, she cursed herself for getting lost in the memories, realizing that Susan was staring at her with concern.

"So, when will Harry be coming here?" she asked Susan suddenly, attempting to divert her niece from worrying about her and steer the conversation elsewhere.

Susan blinked at her Aunt's question and glanced down at the watch on her wrist. "Harry's letter mentioned he'll arrive around nine, so that's in another two hours."

Amelia nodded and threw the covers off herself. However, before she got up from the bed, a wicked look appeared in her eyes as she gazed at her niece. "So, I guess you have plenty of time to get ready for him, huh?"

Susan's cheeks turned red, and she lowered her head, avoiding Amelia's gaze. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Really?" Amelia raised an eyebrow at Susan. "So, does that mean you won't be asking him out this time either?" Ignoring her niece's wide-eyed look, she continued, "I have to say that's a real shame, Susie because I was hoping you would. Especially since Harry sounds like such a wonderful boy."

"Th-That's not... Harry and I ... that's absurd, Auntie," Susan stammered, trying to deny her Aunt's words.

Amelia couldn't help but chuckle at her niece's flustered state. For a moment, she was reminded of her own teenage self who also used to deny her crush on James to her mum. As she was hit with the nostalgic memories, Amelia couldn't help herself, and she pulled Susan in for a tight hug.

Susan giggled as Amelia squeezed her tightly before she started squirming to break free from her arms. "Auntie, stop it. I'm not a baby anymore," she protested half-heartedly. Amelia kissed her on the top of the head before finally releasing her. "Remember to dress nicely. Boys always notice girls when they dress attractively," she advised Susan as she walked out the door.

Two hours later, Amelia found herself in the foyer of the Bones Manor, accompanied by her niece, Susan, while they awaited Harry Potter's arrival at their home via the Floo network. Amelia couldn't help but smirk as she glanced at Susan from the corner of her eye. Despite her earlier protests, the younger girl had dressed herself in an appealing green top and form-fitting blue denim jeans.

Suddenly the Floo flared emerald green, and Amelia's eyes widened and her heartbeat sped up a little as a younger clone of James Potter stepped out of her fireplace, closely followed by his mother, Lily Potter née Evans. In an instant, all of Amelia's long-buried feelings regarding her childhood friend surged back to life as she gazed at the face so similar to that of her old crush.

At seventeen years old, Harry Potter resembled a carbon copy of his father, James Potter with the same tall, athletic build and unkempt jet-black hair. For a moment, Amelia felt like she had travelled twenty years into the past as she watched Harry flash Susan a big smile and run a hand through his tousled hair, just like James used to do whenever he was around her.

Amelia finally snapped out of her daze when Susan prodded her in the back. "Harry, Lily, welcome to Bones Manor," she said hastily, stepping forward to greet her guests.

Harry nodded his head as he offered her a shy smile. "Madam Bones, thank you for inviting me to stay here," he replied politely.

Amelia couldn't help but return Harry's smile, as it reminded her of James. "Nonsense. It's a pleasure, Harry," she sincerely told him. Then, she glanced toward Lily, but unlike her son, the redhead didn't say anything; instead, she glared at Amelia with narrowed eyes. Despite the other woman's hostile gaze, Amelia tried her best not to be affected and gestured for them to follow her to the sitting room.

Harry didn't waste a second; he quickly moved towards Susan, and the two friends disappeared further inside the house. However, unlike her son, Lily swiftly declined Amelia's offer, saying, "That's very generous of you, Amelia, but I'm afraid I have somewhere else to be. I only came here to drop Harry off with you."

Amelia made a token protest, but deep down, she felt relieved to be rid of Lily so soon. After all, she didn't want the other woman to discover what was going through her mind at the moment. As Lily left through the Floo, Amelia breathed a sigh of relief before swiftly following the kids into the house.

Upon entering the sitting room, Amelia looked around, but there was no sign of either her niece or Harry. For a moment, she wondered where the two of them had gone, but she soon received her answer as she heard the sound of laughter coming from upstairs, from Susan's bedroom.

Amelia thought about it for a few seconds, but in the end, she decided to leave the kids to their own devices. Even though a part of her was desperate and urging her to seek out Harry at the first opportunity, Amelia controlled herself. After all, the young man was going to stay at her house for a week. During that time, she was sure she could find some quality alone time with him.

Amelia smirked as she began meticulously planning everything she wanted to happen in the next few days. In her mind, she had already decided that if she couldn't win over the father, she would settle for the son. Countless schemes and ideas rushed through Amelia's mind as she contemplated how she could seduce Harry during the upcoming days. Simultaneously, she headed towards her bedroom, contemplating the perfect outfits for the next week.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Amelia spent the rest of the day in her bedroom, trying on several cute outfits, hoping to find the best ones that would capture the attention of a handsome young man like Harry.

By the time Amelia finished, it was almost dinner time. The redhead was taken aback when she checked the clock and realized that she had missed lunch. Quickly glancing at herself in the mirror one last time, Amelia preened happily as she admired her appearance. As part of her plan to seduce Harry, she had put on a sexy grey top with a plunging neckline, paired with a short black skirt that showcased her toned legs. Her red hair, meanwhile, cascaded down her back in gentle waves. Overall, Amelia felt that she looked like a total bombshell. She just hoped Harry thought the same.

After Amelia finished admiring her reflection, she finally stepped out of her room and made her way towards the dining room.

Upon entering the dining room, Amelia blinked in surprise as she found Susan sitting on Harry's lap, and the two of them kissing each other passionately. Even as she watched, Harry's hands slipped under Susan's shirt and he began to squeeze her large breasts causing her niece to moan loudly. Amelia realized things were starting to heat up a little between the two, so she decided to intervene and cleared her throat pointedly.

At the sudden noise, Harry and Susan finally broke their kiss and glanced towards the source. Susan let out a squeak when she saw her aunt standing by the doorway and quickly jumped up from Harry's lap.

"Auntie, please don't be mad," she stammered while trying to fix her top. "I-I can explain."

Amelia, however, shook her head, reassuring her niece, "It's alright, Susie. I'm not mad." She walked closer to the two and added, "So I'm guessing you're both together now."

Susan blushed and quickly looked down at Harry. The two of them exchanged shy smiles before glancing away.

Amelia smiled as she observed the new lovebirds acting all nervous around each other. She walked over to Susan and playfully ruffled her hair. "I'm happy for you two," she told her niece before sitting down at the head of the table.

As the family house elves began arriving with platters of food, Susan moved around the table and settled down on Amelia's right, while Harry was already seated on her left.

For the next twenty minutes, the three of them enjoyed a marvellous dinner while engaging in pleasant small talk. Once the dinner was finished, Amelia decided to summon a bottle of red wine from the cellar and poured a glass for each of them.

Amelia handed them their glasses of wine and swirled her own gracefully as she leaned back in her chair. "I know you're both very smart but I hope both of you remember to use protection before engaging in any sexual activities," she said, her tone carrying an air of importance, before turning to her niece. "Susan, are you familiar with the contraceptive charm, or should I remind you about it?"

Susan's neck flushed red as she responded to her aunt's question. "No, you don't need to bother, Auntie. I know about it," she said quickly, deliberately avoiding looking in Harry's direction.

Amelia nodded in satisfaction at he niece's answer. "Well, that's enough for my peace of mind. You kids can go crazy in the bedroom now. Just remember to 'silencio' your room before doing anything."

Susan's jaw dropped open as she couldn't believe what Amelia had just said. Clearly, her aunt was having far too much fun embarrassing her in front of Harry. Unable to take it anymore, she squeaked, and shot out of her chair, fleeing back to her room.

Harry stood up and started to follow Susan, but Amelia stopped him. "Don't worry about her, Harry. She's alright. She's just a bit embarrassed," she said, gesturing for him to sit back down. "Anyway, why don't we have a little chat ourselves? I've heard so much about you from Susan, but it would still be good to talk one on one."

Harry hesitated for a moment before slowly settling back down in his seat. Despite himself, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, wondering what Susan's aunt wanted to talk to him about.

As Harry resumed his seat, Amelia leaned forward in her chair and looked him straight in the eyes, her expression hardened. "I hope I do not have to tell you to take care of my niece, Harry. She's the most important person in my life and I would hate for her to get hurt," she told him dangerously.

Upon hearing her words, Harry lost all signs of nervousness and his expression grew firm. "Madam Bones, you don't have to worry. I promise I really care about Susan. She's my best friend, and I would never hurt her."

Amelia stared at him hard for a few moments until she was sure he was being completely truthful. Once she was satisfied, she broke into a huge smile and said, "That's good to hear, Harry," while taking a sip of her wine.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that Susan's aunt approved of him. However, his relief was short-lived as she suddenly set down her glass of wine and gazed at him with mischievous eyes.

"So, Harry, is my niece your first girlfriend or have you dated other girls before?" she asked him suddenly.

Amelia's question caught Harry slightly off guard, and he sputtered. "N-no. I haven't dated other girls before, ma'am," he answered, blushing furiously.

Amelia couldn't help but enjoy the way Harry was squirming in his seat as he answered her question. "So, was that also your first kiss earlier?" she asked him again, trying to tease him a little.

Harry's face was resembling a ripe cherry as he looked down at his feet and nodded his head in response.

Amelia hummed, her eyes twinkling with amusement as she stared at the embarrassed boy. "So, is it fair to say that you don't have any experience with girls or what they enjoy physically?" she continued her teasing mercilessly.

At that moment, Harry wished the earth would swallow him whole as he replied to her in a small whisper, "Yes, ma'am."

Amelia grinned at Harry's answer, and a devious plan began to take shape in her mind. "There's no need to be embarrassed, Harry. I just want to make sure you know how to pleasure my niece when the time comes," she told him seriously. "After all, you wouldn't want to disappoint Susan, would you?"

Immediately, Harry's eyes snapped up to hers, and he looked at her with a worried frown. "D-do you think that's possible?"

Amelia made sure to appear completely serious as she answered Harry's question, "Of course. Has nobody told you that girls like their boyfriends to be experienced in bed?"

Harry's face clouded with worry as he shook his head in response. "No. Nobody told me that," he answered agitatedly, running a hand through his hair.

Amelia placed her hand on top of Harry's and gave him a gentle pat. "It's alright, it's alright. Don't worry, Harry. I'm sure we can find a way so that you do not disappoint Susan."

Harry's emerald green eyes lit up with hope at Amelia's words. "Are you sure, Madam Bones? Do you really think there's a way?"

Amelia didn't hesitate as she nodded her head in reply. "Yes, I'm sure, Harry. I just need you to give me a few moments to think it over."

Harry gave her a firm nod and fell completely silent while Amelia pretended to ponder the situation. After a few minutes, she stood up from her chair and approached Harry. Without bothering to ask for his permission, she grabbed his hand and slipped it underneath her skirt. Harry gasped in shock as his fingers came in contact with Amelia's lacy panties and he looked up at her with wide eyes.

"What are you doing, Madam Bones?" he asked her in shock, trying to pull his hand free from her grip.

Amelia, however, didn't allow Harry to pull his hand away. She looked down at him with narrowed eyes as she said, "I thought you wanted to learn how to please a woman, Harry? Well, then why are you hesitating now?"

Harry's mouth opened and closed several times as he tried to formulate a suitable response to Amelia's words. "B-but you're Susan's aunt. I can't do that with you," he protested in the end.

Amelia's jaw clenched at Harry's answer, and she sneered down at him. "And do you think it'll be better if some strange woman teaches you how to please Susan? Do you think that would make my niece happy?"

Harry thought about it for a second but in the end, shook his head in negative.

Amelia's heart started beating a little faster as she realized she needed just one final push to convince Harry. "Well, then why are you being so difficult, hm? I'm sure if there was a choice Susan would be much happier to learn that her aunt taught her boyfriend something so important rather than some unknown woman."

As she finished speaking, Harry hesitated and glanced toward the open door before turning back to gaze at Amelia. "Okay, you're right, Madam Bones. I-I guess I'll do it," he answered her after a moment's silence.

Amelia smiled in satisfaction as her plan came to fruition. Now, she just had to make sure Harry got trapped in her web completely.
