CHAPTER 6: I Can't Help How I Look

Harry immediately took a step back and right into Draco Malfoy. His golden hair slicked back his eyes glowing with hatred.

"Watch where you're going Potter! And what were you doing to her?" he demanded, Crabbe and Goyle behind him.

"It's our business not yours!" Harry hissed back. Draco glared at him.

"It is if you're hurting innocent people," he replied.

"I would never hurt my God-sister," Harry said simply and Draco's mouth fell open. Crabbe and Goyle exchanged uneasy looks.

"What? Never heard of a sister before?" Harry snapped. Draco looked at Harry with eyes of hatred. But then his eyes wondered to Shadow and all of a sudden a look of softness and hatred appeared in them. Harry followed Draco's eyes carefully. Draco glared at Harry, muttered something to Goyle and Crabbe and left in a huff.

Harry turned around and looked at Shadow, taking in every detail. He suddenly saw her in a new light. Yes, she did look a lot like Sirius, but she also reminded him of someone. But he couldn't quite place whom.

"C'mon," he said, "let's get you to Gryffindor Tower." Harry started to walk away and, when he realised he was on his own, he turned around and Shadow was still standing there, her eyes burning into his back.

"I thought you hated me," she said simply.

"I-I-I didn't know what I thought," Harry replied, fidgeting slightly, "You just look so much like him…l-like Sirius…" his voice rang dry and tears appeared in his eyes.

"I can't help how I look," she snapped back at him, "You were lucky! You got to spend time with him, what about me? Never!" Harry stared at her in astonishment.

"Sorry…" she muttered and sunk her head.

"No, I shouldn't have I…. well…I didn't think…I never knew you didn't really…I…." Harry's voice drained down to a stop.
