Chapter 4
Hopes, Resorts, and Renewed Friendships

Shayla's POV

That summer was like every other Harry visited his friends when ever he got the chance and stayed as long as I would let him. It was around July tenth when I got an emergency fire call about Harry from the Weasleys.

"What is it Author, and it better not be a mind numbing for a Shaylin."

"No it's Harry he's having a really bad nightmare we tried to wake him up but he just screamed when we touched him."

"Stand back I'm coming through."

As I exited into the Weasleys home I heard Harry screaming. I ran to the room he was sleeping in just to see him flailing in bed. Molly four of her children and Hermione standing around him worried.

"Thank God you're here He just started screaming and screaming." Molly said.

I walked over to Harry and whispered in soothing tone "Harry, Harry it's okay, it okay, nothings going to hurt you, nothing can get you here."

It didn't seem to work. I sat down on the bed and started to hum as I sent soothing feeling to him one of his childhood and then begin to sing our lullaby. "Lay down your sweet little head, sleep and dream of times long before, of a world far out of your little hands reach, the world of magic and things in fantasy, don't look away, don't think of all that's not believed, look in your heart and know that it's all for real, know this happened once a pone a time. The world you see, will never leave you, it will be in your heart, never forget, the dreams you have, the phoenix fly's to see you home, the love you know will see you throw, the friends you will make will help too. Things change from good to bad and back, when false hoods fade from sight and living time, you'll see that the truth was always there all things will see you will watch and hope for you, but for now just sleep and dream, The world you see, will never leave you, it will be in your heart, never forget, the dreams you have, the phoenix fly's to see you home, the love you know will see you to that, the friends you'll make alone with me will see you throw."

When I finished the song he had quieted down and had curled up around me with him head in my lap. I looked up to see the Weasleys plus Hermione Looking at me with shock an a little concern.

"What's wrong with him?"

"Some of the dreams he has are really intense and he can't handle them. I don't see how he could."

"You mean the dreams of you-know-who?" Ron asked.

"Yes that why I keep an eye on him this dream well what Shaylin call it viladi gremna or dream visions. They can be of anything or anyone. His viladi gremna are always going to be of ether a peasant or past event at least till that crazy man is dead." I said looking down at Harry "I just hope his mind stay's in tacked."

The next couple of days went by with Harry trying act like nothing had happened. I let him stay till his birthday when I throw him a huge party. I had invited everyone that Harry was friends with out to one of the Potters estates even though the only two in England are the one James and I grow up in and the one with all of James and Lilly's things stored in it. I had asked Harry about that and he said to leave them there. I think he feel connected to them if the thing that belonged to them were in that house, but it's just creepy to me. Anyway I had thrown him a big party because of the last part of his shaylin Inheritance. Late that night after everyone had gone home but Hermione Ron and his family. I had explained to them that he would be in a lot of pain but it would pass. At ten till twelve I had Harry lay down on the king size bed.

"I feel tingly." Harry said.

"It means it will start soon." Harry looked a little a little scared. "It going to be okay all of your family are here."

Not two seconds after the words left my lips Harry rolled on his side holding his stomach. It had been a few years since my final set into shaylin adulthood but I remember it like it was yesterday and I know it will be like that for Harry. It is so painful that you want darkness to clam you but will not take you into that grateful blanket.

"It's okay Harry it will be over soon just a little longer, just a little longer." I said as I wiped the sweat off his head.

It had be an hour of shear pain for Harry and it that time Harry's voice had gone horse. When Harry finally stopped he smiled up at me and promptly fell asleep. I looked up at Hermione and the Weasley's and nodded to there unasked question.

"Hermione, Ron I would like to speak with you." I said walking out into the hall.

"What is it?" Ron asked as they fallowed me.

"Harry told me that he asked you to take the blood oath and you refused. I was wondering why?" I asked.

"We talked about it to Dumbledore and he told us it was something that there was not need to do it that it was just an old ritual that declared people as no related family. We told Harry that we would be family no matter what." Hermione explained.

"Well it's a little more then that." I said with a sign.

"What do you mean?" Hermione asked.

"Well know you Hermione you looked up the blood oath right?" She nodded. "Well as you probably found out there is nothing on it."

"Why is that?" she asked.

"Because everyone in a clan ether born are inducted are sworn to secrecy. There are some thing about this oath that I have not told Harry yet, but with an oath you are family you are seen by wizard law and the eye of all creators that you are shaylin family. With this you are protected by the clan something happens to you, you can come here and we will help you take care of you." I pause.

"Why are you telling us this?" Ron asked.

"I'm giving you a choose you can ether take the oath or you can have this information erased from your memory. I'm giving you till midnight to night. Just remember this I am not trying to push you into this just asking you for Harry."

I walked back into the room and sat down on the bed and got comfortably it was going to be a long time before Harry would wake up and I wonted him to have someone there with him so if he was hurting.

Harry's POV

When I woke up I hurt like hell. When I opened my eyes everything was to bright. I tried to think back to why I was hurting so. I hadn't played any games the day before at the party till I remembered what happened latter that night at midnight.

"It okay Harry." came a very soft voice and a gentle touch. "Shut the curtains his eye are really sensitive, and everyone be as quiet as you can."

'Shayla my aunt' I thought as the voice registered in my mind, 'but who else could be here? I don't remember anyone being here when I fell asleep.'

"Come Harry open your eyes. It's darker now everyone wants to see you." I could hear the smile in her voice. "Come on phoenix open your eye."

I open my eye just a little to see a now dark room. The only light coming from behind the edges of the curtains. And under the doors. I look at my aunt and I can see her like I could if the room was well lit. I try to sit up but it's hard to. Shayla reaches out and helps me.

"Come on Harry a shower will help."

I nod as she help me to the bathroom and out of my close. I don't feel a bit ashamed that she's there. I didn't know why because if she would have been in here yesterday I would have freaked.

"I see your instincts are working." Aunt Shayla said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I mean that Shaylin don't mind when others even if they are family or female or in the room when their bathing or changing. They feel more comfortable."

"Oh." I said pulling my head back under the shower.

Once I was dried and dressed we made our way done to see the others. I was a little weak still and needed help walking. I was happy when I saw Severus, Remus, Mione and the Wesley's. When they turned around they all gaped.

"What?" I asked.

"Harry you look gorgeous." Ginny said.

"Yeah." Fred and George agreed.

"Oh no did you take the potions I asked you to take." Shayla asked then looked over to a table behind them. "Oh no."
