The elderly wizard blinks. "Who is her father? I don't understand the question. Her father is James Potter. Same as you."
Harry snickers. "No she ain't. You can tell. I have seen pictures of several Potters from Remus and S..Sirius. Our trademark is the unruly black hair. Even within the females of our line. It's said that the first Potter was a flier...that's why our hair always holds a wind blown look." He says quietly.
Dumbledore seems to think about this fact before speaking. " According to all records she is a Potter. Her parents are listed as James and Lily Potter." He taps the top of his desk and a stack of papers appear. He shuffles through it and finally stops. He pulls out a worn piece of parchment and hands it to Harry. He hopes that the piece of paper will help Harry understand how important it is for him to take responsibility for Emma.
Harry pushes away from the door and takes the piece of paper. He looks it over and frowns. "Jamison and Lilian Porter?" He reads further down the document. "This is a muggle marriage licence. My parents changed their names and created an entirely new life." He whispers sadly. He eyes the little girl once again. His eyes held a longing. A longing to have the life that he was denied so long ago. "I can't take care of her, sir. I just can't." He eyes the piece of paper before anger begins to bubble up inside his soul. His parents abandoned him to a life of misery so they could protect their own lives and the lives of their future children. His eyes narrow and he tears the paper in half and then drops it onto Dumbledore's desk. "Let the Porter's care for the child" He spits out.
The headmaster sits there in slight shock. It seems that he just fueled Harry's anger even more. "Harry. You must understand. I'm sure they did it to protect you.." He cut off.
Harry sneers at the elderly professor. "Then why did they raise that..that child for most of her childhood?" He was shaking with fury. "I wasn't good enough for them. I was marked with a curse in which they didn't wish to deal with" He touches his scar. "They left me so they could start a new life. I was a screw up. A unwanted child and for that fact I will not care for the child." He raises his chin defiantly in a challenge. "And if you force me to..I will leave and not look back." His emerald green eyes flash dangerously as the room seems to grow cooler.
Emma who has been silent through the exchange slinks back away from Harry. She makes her way behind the headmasters desk and stands beside the elderly man, shaking with fear. Fear for the brother that she has longed to meet. Tears begin to form in her eyes as she begins to sob.
Harry strides towards the door and this time he forcefully pulls it open and exits without looking back. He knew the headmaster would stop hounding him now. The wizarding world could not afford to lose Harry. He was the only one that could protect them. He heads to the Gryffindor tower not wanting to show up in Potions in a horrible mood. He didn't want Snape to have a reason to deduct a ridiculous amount of points. He stops in front of the portrait of the fat lady "Lionheart" He calls out and the picture swings open to reveal the common room. He stomps inside and flops down on the nearest couch to the fire. The anger soon changes to sorrow and bitterness. His whole life was a lie. His parent's never loved him. Maybe the sorting hat was right. "I should be in Slytherin" He says out loud and this time it didn't sound so outrageous.
Authors Note There is a reason as to why Harry is acting so strange. You will see what it is in future chapters
