CHAPTER 13: The Power
Harry didn't say a word; they both left and didn't mutter a word to each other till later that night, when they were back in the common room, in a corner, on their own. Shadow sitting on the windowsill.
"Why didn't you tell me you're Dumbledore's granddaughter?" Harry asked in a stunned tone.
"Well, I didn't see it was such a big deal, I mean. I've never had anyone to tell," Shadow said in a slightly uncomfortable voice.
"Well it is a big deal… I don't think I'll ever get over the fact that Dumbledore has a daughter…who's a slytherin!" Harry gasped, "What is the world coming to?"
"Well, if my granddad didn't have a daughter to pass his power onto then I wouldn't have inherited it, and I had too," Shadow explained.
"What do you mean?" Harry asked.
"I'm… powerful…well, so are you…. so were you…when I told you about picking you over me, that's what I meant," Shadow finished.
"Were?" Harry asked.
"Now is not the time to talk about it… I mean, I don't even know all of it…" Shadow said, looking really uncomfortable, "I'm tired, Harry, I'm going to bed, good night," she said and left before Harry could say anything else.
