A/N: I don't own any of the characters apart from the 'Dark' family and 'Shadow Black'. Thanks for reviewing and I hope you like the next chapter!
I must apologize, I lost all of Shadow Black on my computer! It's no excuse really but I've got it back! (I was smart enough to load onto a dish is proud) Anyway, my computer's being a prat and now here's some more.
Eclipse: Maybe Draco will get Harry back - maybe he won't! It will all be explained in time... anyway, this chapter I am afraid to say is crap but hopefully it explains some things...
Marauder Megan: lol, good method!
>VII of Swords: I love the names you come up with! I don't go on fictionpress but I will check it out. I was rather upset that Pig wasn't in the sixth book :( he's my owl idol. You're right, HBP is much better than OOTP - OOTP is my least fave - and it seemed to flow much better whereas OOTP seemed to be a bit all over tha place. But I can say I can understand why Snape did what he did, if Draco didn't do it Snape would have got killed, so Snape did it for him and lived - he was just being a selfish, greasy git!
Dark Vampiresss: Tis great! My mate ranupto meand yelled 'DUMBLEDORE'S DEAD!' so I yelled back 'I KNOW!' hehehe, she hadn't thought that I had finished the book!
CHAPTER 20: I Have No Parents
Draco was suddenly back on the scene after recovering from his 'run in' with Harry. Also, Harry noticed that Shadow had started giving him odd looks.
"Harry, are you ok?" she asked in a slightly nervous voice one day when Harry and her were in the library.
"Fine, thanks," Harry answered, putting the book he was reading down.
"Oh, ok, it's just, if you ever wanted to talk, I'm here," Shadow smiled at him and carried on reading. Harry eyed her, and then went back to reading.
"Pssst! Shadow!"
Shadow turned around, "Hello, bird girl," she said simply. Harry looked up from the book to see that Raven had joined them. Raven giggled and whispered something into Shadow's ear.
"About time too," Shadow sighed.
"What do you mean 'about time too'?" Raven asked sounding slightly up down and a frown playing on her lips.
"Well, it's pretty obvious that he liked you…" Shadow explained and returned back to her book.
"Oh," Raven said and looked at her feet.
"What's going on?" Harry asked, completely oblivious to what they were talking about.
"George asked me out!" Raven squeaked. Harry stared at her and slowly went 'Oooh!"
"Oh, not you too! Can't anyone be the least bit surprised!" Raven snorted, "Anyway," she continued, "I found this, I thought you might want a look at it," she pulled out an old piece of parchment and placed it onto the page that Shadow was reading.
"Raven, what are yo-" Shadow stopped in mid sentence, then she gasped.
"What?" Harry asked and Raven grabbed the piece of paper and shoved it into Harry's face. It was some sort of certificate.
"It's… it's… where did you find this?" Shadow shot at her friend and Raven simply tapped her nose.
"What is it?" Harry asked getting slightly impatient. Shadow's eyes wondered up to his and she held out the certificate.
"Sirius' and my mothers marriage certificate," she said simply, her dark hair falling over her face.
"What?" Harry gasped and grabbed it out of her hands, he looked down at it and indeed, it was Sirius Black's and Trista Dumbledore's marriage certificate.
"Do you believe me now? Is that enough proof?" Shadow snapped in a sour tone as both remembered when Shadow had told him that her mother was a death eater.
"Yeah… but I still can't believe he married a death eater," Harry stated and Shadow rolled her eyes and got up to leave.
"Wait," Harry said and grabbed hold of her arm, "Don't you want this?" he asked holding up the marriage certificate.
"No, you have it, I have no parents," Shadow said, bluntly and left with the loved up Raven.
A/N: Things start taking a sour turn after this chapter and then it's on the road to the end... :( ... thanks for reading - please review!
