Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter; it all belongs to J.K Rowling.

Summary: He doesn't know what to think. She doesn't know what to say. They don't know what to do. So what does a couple bottles of Firewhisky, a shoot glass and a bed have to do with it? There're about to find out.

"Blah" – speaking

'Blah' – thoughts or what ever they seem useful for.

Last Chapter

Tonks wrapped her arms tighter around Harry as he began to shake as another bout of pain went through his body.

"Tonks" Harry whispered hoarsely "What...What's happening to me?"

Tonks looked down at Harry and run a hand through his hair and leaned down and kissed his forehead softly.

"I don't know Harry. I don't know"

Lily Evens-Potter

Madam Pomfrey scrambled out of the fireplace as fast as she could go and ran up the stairs to where Harry's bedroom was. Once she got to the door she paused to catch her breath before knocking then opening the door and entering.

Tonks ran a hand down the side of Harry's face as he started to moan in pain softly. She was getting worried. Nothing that herself or Madam Pomfrey did anymore helped him.

A knock on the door told Tonks that Madam Pomfrey was here. When the door opened, Madam Pomfrey quickly rushed in and checked over Harry before smiling. This cause Tonks to get confused since she didn't know what was worth smiling about with Harry in such a condition. Unless she knew what was wrong with him.

"Have you found out what is causing all of this?"

Madam Pomfrey looked at Tonks. She wanted to tell her, but it was up to Harry to decide who else was to be told. She sighed and shook her head.

"I'm sorry Tonks, but it's up to Harry if he tells you or not."

Tonks looked at her for a minute before nodding and smiling softly.

"You know what's going on"

Madam Pomfrey sighed, she didn't want to keep secrets from Tonks after taking so much care of Harry, but it just wasn't her position to tell.

"When Mr. Potter wakes up can you please get in contact with me immediately. I must talk to him about "

Tonks looked a little confused but nodded her head at Madam Pomfrey. Madam Pomfrey just smiled and laid a hand down on Tonks' arm before walking out the door, the book still in her hand.

Tonks watched Madam Pomfrey walk out the door then turned her attention back to Harry who was mumbling something under his breath. Tonks sighed and could only hope that what ever was happening to Harry wouldn't affect him...to bad.

Living in the Shadows: Chapter 1

Family Trees

There are only 200 families of the Shadows left in the world. While that might seem like a lot, a Shadow may only be the mother/father of one child. Many of the Shadows do not become parents for they can not find the person they wish to share not only their secret of who they are, but also their rank in the Shadow court. In the Shadow court there are 5 levels. The Royals (King, Queen ect.), The Royal bodyguards, The Holy Lords (Priests), the guards of the Shadows, and the Suppliers. Every family (All 200 of them) hold a rank in the Shadow court. The Shadow's child (if the Shadow decided to have a child) then takes over the parents position of rank once they are of age.

A/N: So short...i REALLY don't like this chapter...i am very sorry for the long wait for this chapter, but with school and everything I've been loaded down. My marks at school are down lower then what I need them to be so I really have to work hard to bring them back up to scratch. School is almost over for the year (December 9th) so I will defiantly update during the 2 month holidays. Again, I'm really sorry for this chapter for being so short, next one should be longer... well it better be, other wise I'm just gonna force myself ta write it longer. Please R&R, tell me if I need to fix anything...and if someone could do me a really big favor and beta read my chapters for me...just say so in a review.

Cheers
