The reason it took me so long to update is because I couldn't figure out how to write the chapter with transfiguration. So I've decided to skip it. If you have any ideas on how it could be done, please review and tell me. Also but this is a short chapter but you may like the ending of this chapter but don't just scroll ahead to find out what it is
Chapter 10
"Well, that wasn't so bad, although I have to admit that Fred, or was it George, oh well, whichever one it was did it, I have to say that making the pins march up and down the desks and whistling 'God save the queen' was a little immature" Lily said as they sat down to dinner while the other Gryffindor's and a few Ravenclaw's, including Severus, were still laughing their heads off
"I told you they were jokers!" Spike said as he sat down next Harry while Tempest took the other side and Angel sat next to her
"You really weren't joking, man though, they'd have to pretty smart in order to do that on their first day!" Tom said while trying to get his breathing under control
"I can see this is going to be a very interesting school year I-" Tempest got a look at Harry and saw that something was definitely not right
"What's wrong Shade? You don't look so good"
"Last night, when I was sorted, the hat said that I had blood in me that he hadn't seen since my mother and father went here" Harry responded not looking up. Meanwhile, at the Slytherin table Remus and Sirius' ears perked up even as they kept their heads down so as to avoid suspicion; they were hoping to find out why this strange boy had such a dark spot on his aura
"So what, don't you get along with your parents?" James asked
"I don't know my father"
"Did he run out on your mom before you were born? Is that why you were called Shadow?" James asked
"And I hate to ask this, but, why don't you like being called Shadow?" Lily asked, curiosity getting the better of her
"My father's name is David Thorn, and he raped my mother and I was the product of her rape and she hated me so much that she called me Shadow because I reminded her of him. She didn't even give me her name; she gave me his, of Thorn. She was brutally murdered one year after I was born and I was there and I remember every last detail of what happened. The only memories I have of her are her saying how worthless I was and how I would never know love because I was born from hate, not love!" Harry shouted and then ran from the Great Hall leaving a group of shocked kids, sad adults and even though he didn't know it, four people who completely understood. They were Amber, Talon, Eragon and Adriana. Talon not especially but he had a good idea of what it was like because his mother abandoned him as a baby. But you see, Amber, Eragon and Adriana were the products of their mother's rape. And that was why Adriana preferred the name Tempest because Adriana, like Adrian, meant 'dark'. Her mother hated her too, but not only because she reminded her of the rape, all three of them did, but, you see when she was born, her birth was breached (buttocks first) and therefore, caused her mother more pain that Amber or Eragon did. Thankfully, her mother just ignored her while Eragon looked after and played with her. And they knew who their father was, just like Harry knew. Their father was: David Thorn.
