Chapter six:

The Meeting of the Minds

Harry's mind exploded, Peter had a son? How come no one told him! If his son was joining the Order that meant that wormtail had to have been a mage too…

"But who-" Harry started.

Dumbledore interrupted him. "May I present Shane Black." The door opened and a tall boy with jet-black hair and tan skin walk in.

"Black?" Harry asked in confusion he thought that this was Peter's son.

"Yes Harry you see Shane's mother is related to Sirius." Dumbledore said.

"Who is she?" Harry asked.

Dumbledore looked at Shane who just shrugged.

"Bellatrix Lestrange" Dumbledore said. There was a murmur of voices around the table as everyone commented on this. Harry couldn't believe this, she was the very woman who killed Sirius!

Harry turned and looked at the boy. He was watching everyone whisper about him. All of a sudden Harry felt very bad for him because he knew how that felt. Just because people he was related to where evil didn't mean he was, Harry though his mind drifting to the Dursleys.

"Hello Shane" Harry said loudly so the others would notice and stop whispering. They all looked at him in wonder.

"Sit here" Airean said smiling at him and pointing to a seat next to her. Shane moved towards it and sat while still looking at Harry carefully.

"Well Why don't you three have some diner and get acquitted to Harry while the rest of us more on to other business." Dumbledore said.

Harry, Airean, and Shane got up and left.

Outside Mrs. Weasley was waiting for them. "Come on before the food goes cold now" she said smiling at all of them except Shane, who she gave a very stern look.

Harry frowned. Mrs. Weasley always judged too much without the real facts but Harry liked her anyway. She almost made not having a mom ok. Plus he knew she only did it because she cared.

"I made a turkey and some sides today that alright?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

"Yes" Harry said while the others nodded.

She served them the food. "While I guess I just leave you alone to talk." She said turning to leave though not before she gave Shane another stern look.

"Sorry about her. She's just trying to protect me." Harry said to Shane.

"Hmm" Shane said quietly. They didn't say anything for a while then Airean spoke up.

"I going to bed I'll see you to tomorrow ok? Good night Harry, good night Shane." she said getting up to leave.

Harry watched her go and turned to look at Shane "Are you and Airean friends?" Harry asked.

"Yeah" Shane said staring at his food.

"Oh, so how come your last name is black? I mean even Bellatrix doesn't use that name." Harry asked.

"Because I hate my Dad and Mum there not worth things, but at least the Black's have a few respectable members." Shame said.

"You mean Sirius?" Harry asked.

"Yeah and his Aunt too, she raised me for a while." Shane said.

Something in the back of Harry's mind clicked a memory but Harry pushed it aside he still had more questions to ask.

"So who else raised you then?" Harry asked. "

No one. I took care of myself after I lost her. At least till I started school." Shane said.

"What about Holidays?" Harry asked.

"Spent them with Airean." He said. "Listen I'm tiered so I'm going to bed ok." Shane said.

He does look a little worn Harry thought. "Sure where are you sleeping?"

"With you and Ron."

"Oh great then." Harry said.

They made there way upstairs to the room and went inside. Ron was sitting on his bed he looked at them as they came in. Harry saw that someone had added a bed in the room.

"Hi Harry" Ron said, "Hermione said you were here. Who is he?" Ron asked.

"This is Shane" Harry said.

"Oh hello" Ron said.

"Hi" Shame said.

"While I'm tiered so I'm going to sleep see you two tomorrow." Harry said.

Harry and the others changed and went to bed. Harry lied there for a while thinking about his new friend. Something about him felt familiar but Harry could figure out what. 'Oh well' Harry thought drifting of to sleep.

The next day after Breakfast Harry and Shane were sitting at the table with the Ron, Airean and Hermione when Lupin came in and said "Harry, Shane I need you guys for a while ok."

They got up and followed him out to the hallway and into a small room with some chairs and a desk behind it, at the desk sat Dumbledore waiting for them. "Ah there you are I'd like you two to have a seat. I need to ask you both something and it's easier if I just do it all at once." Dumbledore said. "First off Shane they're are a lot of thing I still need to know about you. After all it was only by accident I found out about you at all."

Harry looked at Shane. He didn't seem like the kind of person who wanted to answer a whole lot of question.

Shane just stared at the desk.

"Well first off how about who raised you or where were you born?" Dumbledore asked.

"I don't know where or when I was born but neither of my parents wanted me because they were no longer in love or whatever they had going on. So my Great Aunt raised me. She lived with muggles because she was a squib." Shane said.

"How did you end up in the U.S. though?" Lupin asked.

"Well I went to muggle school for a while but then I got in some trouble and we had to move. My Aunt got sick and died so I ran away to America." Shane said.

Harry's head shot up as the memory he'd pushed away yesterday came flying back to him.

He was in muggle school and about six years old. The class had just got a new student named Shane. He'd been trying to become Harry's friend. Harry told him off saying "Hanging with me is dangerous, you'll get hurt."

Harry was talking about Dudley beating the boy up for liking him. Shane didn't get it and Dudley broke his arm. The bone went right though the skin and everything. Shane never came back to school after that.

Harry looked at Shane. He knew he had looked so familiar! "It was you, you're the one who got his arm broken by Dudley when we were little!" Harry said.

Dumbledore and Lupin just stared at Harry but Shane was not surprised at all. Shane held out his arm and turned it so that you could see a bone sticking out under his skin "Never healed right you know." He said smiling at Harry.

"You two knew each other?" Lupin asked.

"Yeah we went to school together." Harry said.

"For like a day" Shane added.

"What happened?" Dumbledore asked.

"Well nothing really I got this kid upset and he broke my arm." Shane said leaving out the part about him doing it because of Harry.

"What did you do once you got to America?" Dumbledore asked.

"I joined a Wizard gang and stayed there till I got my School letters." Shane said.

"Well thank you Shane that helps a lot, I seem to have run out of time though. We will have to talk later Harry. Good day to you all." Dumbledore said getting up to leave.

After he gone Lupin turned to them and said "You two should go have lunch and then help Mrs. Weasley with the cleaning around the house." With that he also left. Harry sat there for a while before Shane broke the silence

"We should go huh?" He asked.

"Oh, what? Yeah sure" Harry said and they both made their way down to lunch.

Harry spent the next few days hanging out with Shane and getting to know him. It was cool being around someone his age that had gone though what he had. He was not sure the adults felt the same. The only one who didn't seem to think Shane might be on Voldemort's side was Lupin. Harry was not sure what he thought. He didn't seem to dislike or like Shame.

Shane and Airean had told Harry lots of stuff about the Order trying to help him decide if he wanted to join or not. Harry still was not sure. If they had asked him last year he would of said yes in a heartbeat but now that he'd seen someone he loved killed because of Voldemort in front of him he was not so sure anymore what he wanted. Sure it would be great help with becoming an auror but still. 'It doesn't matter' Harry told himself 'You're no mage anyway.' But a small voice inside him couldn't help saying 'I might be' Harry laughed at himself. 'Yeah right and Dudley might get skinny' Harry told it.

"You ok?" Ron asked sounding annoyed.

"Um…yeah" Harry said coming back to reality, they had been playing chess.

"Your move" Ron told him.

"How about we just say you won, I'm not in the mood to play anymore." Harry said.

"Fine" Ron said angrily stomping out of their room.

Shane looked up from the book he was reading and said, "He's a big baby you know."

"I do know but he's still my best friend ok so just let it go." Harry said.

"Fine" Shane said going back to his book.

After dinner Lupin told Harry and Shane to meet him in the living room.

"Think Dumbledore is back or something?" Harry asked Shane as they made their way to go see Lupin.

"Nah, he would have only asked for you. He is done with me, remember?" Shane said.

"Oh yeah" Harry said. When they got arrived Lupin was sitting there holding a pot. "Hello boys, I thought since both of you have been stuck inside most of the summer you'd like to go out and have some fun. What do you think?" Lupin asked.

"Um…sure were are we going?" Harry asked.

"Nowhere special just a park near here. Can't really take you to far away, it's not safe you know." Lupin said.

"Ok" Harry said.

"What do you think Shane, that ok?" Lupin asked him.

"Whatever" Shane said scuffing the floor with his sneakers.

Lupin raised an eyebrow but said nothing, instead he walked over to the fire and said to Harry "We'll go by floo powder to the closest wizards house and walk from there. You first Harry then Shane and me last."

Harry walk forward into the fire. "What do I say?" Harry asked.

"The crip's" Lupin said.

Harry repeated the world as he threw down the floo power and green flames came up around him.

Harry landed on a floor covered in dust. Standing up and he cleaned himself off while waiting for the others. Harry didn't have to wait long before Shane and then Lupin came out too. "Who lives here? It's so dirty." Harry said.

"No one" Lupin answered as he walked to the door and leaded them down the street to the park. "I have something to do, promise me that you won't leave this park." Lupin said looking seriously at them.

"I wont" Harry said.

"And you" Lupin said looking at Shane

"Where an I going to go?" Shane asked sarcastically.

Lupin just sighed and went off to wherever he was going.

Since there were no benches on this side of the park Shane walked over to a swing and sat down rocking slowly back and forth on it.

Harry went and sat down next to him. "Were do you think he went?" Harry asked.

"Who cares?" Shane said.

"You should be nicer to him. He is the only adult besides Dumbledore who doesn't think you're evil." Harry said.

"I didn't mean it like that, it's just you're kind of nosey y'know." Shane said dragging his feet on the dirt.

"Oh" Harry said turning red.

"No big deal. What makes you so sure he doesn't think I evil."

"I don't know. He just doesn't treat you like a criminal…that's all." Harry said.

"Oh"

"Doesn't it bother you when people do that?" Harry asked.

"Sure, but you get use to it you know" Shane said.

"I don't. I hate it" Harry said.

"Why, who'd think you're a criminal?"

"Well last year everyone thought I was crazy because I said Voldemort was back and I always hate how people think I'm just like my Dad. I look like him but I'm me. "

"Oh yeah I know what you mean I don't even look like my Dad that much and people still do that to me."

On the other side of the park Lupin and Dumbledore watched the boys. "It seems that they come to a meeting of the minds. Let us just hope Shane has this much luck with the others." Dumbledore said.

If you don't know (a meeting of the minds-when two or more people are in complete agreement on one or more things.) Ok anyway that was hard to write! Um…by the end of the next chapter Harry is going to be boarding the Hogwarts express.
