When Harry woke up the next morning he quickly got dressed and ran to the common room. Ginny was fixing her hair when she saw him she turned around and smiled.

"Hi Harry." She said.

"Hi." Harry said panting. He didn't want to hurt Ginny's feelings at the fact that he didn't really feel like talking to her right now. He wanted to talk to Brad.

"I was just about to go to the Great Hall." He said pointing to the portrait hole.

"So was I, with my friend. Want to walk with us?" Ginny asked. Harry agreed so he wouldn't sound rude. He told himself that when he got there he needed to go talk to someone. Ginny was fine with it and they walked out of the portrait together. Ginny left no problem, but Harry tripped on the last step and was about to fall on his face. But his face never met the floor. Instead he fell into the arms of a strong young man. He heard his heat beat, then the man said: "You need to be more careful kitten." Harry looked up to see Brad holding him. Harry's face went red and he stood up. Harry was a little embarrassed to see how much taller Brad was than him.

"Th-Thank you." Harry said.

"No problem." Brad said.

"Wait, how do you know where our dorm is? You're in Slytherin." Harry asked.

"Ginny is my best friend. I told her where the Slytherin common room is and she told me where this is, so we can meet up with each other in the morning." Brad said.

"Oh…" Harry didn't know why but he was a little sad.

'Maybe Ginny is Brad's girlfriend already…' Harry thought. Why did he care so much that Ginny was dating Brad so much? He didn't even know why he kept thinking about it. It was probably because of the way Brad looked at him last night. He was probably looking at Ginny who was sitting on the other side of him. He didn't want to be there anymore. He said goodbye to Brad and Ginny and went the other direction. He had lost his apatite.

Harry went back to the common room and sat down on the couch. But when he did he heard a loud 'mmft!' noise.

"Oh!" Harry jumped up to find Emily spread across the couch, still wearing what she did the night before, with a red blanket over her.

"You slept here?" Harry asked.

"Yeah…" Emily said tiredly sitting around rubbing her eye.

"Didn't Dumbledore give you a bed?" Harry asked.

"Does it look like he did?" Emily said sarcastically. Harry just looked down. Emily got up and stretched. Harry looked at her sadly. He felt sorry for her that she was related to people who were nothing like her. People try to compare to Snape and Brad. Her remember what Emily said to him last night: "Sometimes it's hard being related to people who are not like you. People think that I am like them but I'm not. Sometimes I think that life isn't worth living if I have to be something that I'm not."

Harry felt a wave of emotion and just hugged Emily.

"Huh? Mr. Harry what's wrong?" Emily asked.

"N-Nothing…" Harry said. He looked at his watch and realized that he was already late for his first class.

"Oh no! My first class is Transfiguration and Professor McGonagall is gunna kill me!" Harry exclaimed gathering his books.

"Harry don't worry. I'll come with you and say that I wanted someone to play with." Emily said.

"Um...O-Okay." Harry said. He felt a little weird having to lie to Professor McGonagall.

As he and Emily walked to Transfiguration Harry realized that Emily never complained about her hair, the clothes she was wearing or the fact that she had some dirt on her cheek.

When they got to the classroom Harry walked in and Emily stood at the doorway.

"Sorry he's late Professor, I wanted him to play with me." She said. McGonagall just gave her a stern look and excused Harry.

At the end of the class Harry walked out of class and saw Emily sitting at the doorway.

"Hi Harry!" She exclaimed.

"Hi Emily…um…shouldn't you get dressed? Fix your hair? Wash your face?" Harry asked.

"I am dressed!" Emily exclaimed. Harry just sighed and said: "Come here." Harry pulled Emily aside and took out a comb from his pocket and began to comb her hair.

"Harry! What are you doing?" She asked pulling away from him.

"You need to comb your hair." He said. Emily grabbed the comb and combs her hair. After she was done her hair was now frizzy. Harry just sighed.

"Hey! Do you think we have enough time to see my daddy?" Emily asked.

"Not now but I have Defense against the dark arts next, then potions. Meet me outside the door like you did before then we'll run across the other side of the dungeon to see your dad." Harry said smiling. Emily smiled back and followed him to his class.

After Defense against the Dark arts (the teacher this year was a ghost because they were so tired of having to hire a new teacher every year they just made a ghost do it) Harry walked out to find Emily looking at a suit of armor.

"Emily!" He called. Emily turned around and smiled.

"I was just examining this statue." Emily said. When Harry looked at it, it just looked like a regular piece of armor. But Harry remembered that Emily took everything she saw into depth. Like if she looked at a strawberry she would examine the seeds, the stem and why it's red.

"Ready to go see your dad?" Harry asked. Emily's face lit up and raced Harry to the Potions room.

When they got there Snape was sitting at his desk writing something.

"Daddy!" Emily called as she ran to him. Harry followed behind her. Harry saw for the very first time in his life…he saw Snape smile. Snape smiled and embraced his child. He must not have known that Harry was there because when he looked up and saw him he ended the hug.

"How are you doing daddy?" Emily asked.

"Fine." Snape said slightly glaring at Harry.

"Why is he with you?" Snape asked. Emily looked behind her, turned back to her dad and said: "He's my friend." She smiled. Snape glared at Harry more.

"He's your friend?" He asked.

"Yeah! Last night we talked forever. Then he helped me comb my hair." Emily said. Snape just looked over at Harry and back Emily. Class is about to start. Go play with Hagrid and do what he says." Snape said.

"Okay. Bye." Emily said giving her dad a hug and kiss on the cheek. As she left she waved by to Harry.

After she left Snape looked at Harry. He didn't need to say anything because his expression said it all. It said: Tell anyone and die.

Harry's first day of classes ended and he was going to Hagrid's to talk about it. When he saw his house more clearly he saw Hagrid sitting on the front steps watching Emily play with Fang. When Emily saw Harry come up she charged him screaming his name. She glomped him.

"Hello Emily…" Harry said.

"Hiharrydidyouhavefuntodayhowsmydaddyisheokaywhataboutbigbrother?" Emily said all really fast.

"Um…fine?" Harry said sounding half confused. Hagrid was laughing. Emily got up and helped Harry up.

"Are classes over?" Emily asked.

"Yeah…" Harry said.

"I'm gunna go see my daddy now! Bye!" she waved. When she left Hagrid just laughed a little.

"She's a sweet girl…" He said.

"She's a smart girl…" Harry said.

"She is…Remember how Dumbledore said that she could communicate with animals?" Hagrid asked.

"Yeah…" Harry said.

"When she came down today she helped me figure out what Fang wanted." Hagrid said patting fangs head.

As Harry walked back to the common room he saw something he wishes was just a trick of the eye. He saw Emily bruised, cut and her left arm mangled sitting up against the wall.

"Emily!" He called. He ran to her and checked her out. He shook her to find that she was unconscious.

"I need help!" Harry called. He saw a Slytherin boy with dirty blonde hair walk by.

"Please help! She's hurt!" He called. He couldn't believe how desperate he was…he was asking a Slytherin for help. To his misbelieve the boy came running to him.

"What happened to her?!" He asked. The boy had a slight Irish accent.

"I don't know! I was just about to go into my dorm and I saw her here!" Harry exclaimed. The Slytherin picked Emily up and Harry followed him to the Hospital wing.

When they got there Madam Pomfrey ran to her and placed Emily on a bed.

"What happened to her?!" She asked.

"We don't know. We found her like that." Harry said. She groaned.

"Well…best get her father." She said. Harry and the boy looked at each other.

"Um…I'll get Brad, you get Snape." He said.

"How about YOU get Snape and I'll get Brad." Harry said.

"Brad's my friend; I can calm him down better." He said. Harry was silent. No wonder he came to help, he wanted to help his friends' sister.

"A-Alright, I'll get Professor Snape." Harry said. Ryan left the hospital wing and Harry quickly ran to the dungeons.

When Harry got to the dungeons Snape was looking at the suit of armor Emily was before.

"Um…Professor?" Harry asked. Snape turned around and gave him a glare.

"What?" Snape asked.

"Um…I-I was going back to my dormitory and I found Emily…uh…" Harry stopped at looked away. This imminently caught Snape's attention. He was now facing Harry his face looked a panic.

"She was what?" Snape asked his voice rising.

"I-I think someone beat her up or something…" Harry said. Snape quickly grabbed Harry's arm and took him to the hospital wing.
