In Her Shell

Amy always seemed to be in her shell. She never told anyone anything, and if she was in the common room she was reading, or doing homework. If she wasn't, then she was in the library, doing the same as she always does. Since her outburst in potions, she didn't talk in class, except to give extremley detailed answers to questions. But she only did that if no-one at all asnwerd. 

McGonagoll held back from transfiguration one day. 

"How much has Amy told you?" 

"Not much. Her mum was killed by You-Know-Who so was her step-dad. Oh, and her dad is a jerk. She's closed up. She doesn't talk to anyone." 

"Understandable. I asume she only speaks to you?" 

"Yes, Professor." 

"Then you need to talk to her. Ask her as much about her past as possible. Just be careful by how you react." McGonagoll left me with her words, as she walked out of her classroom. 

I pulled Amy away from her homework one night.  

"Amy?" I began. "Can I ask you something?" 

"Um. Ok." 

"Who was your dad? And why do you never speak about him?" I looked into Amy's pale blue eyes and I could see she was about to lie. "Don't lie to me, Amy. Tell me the truth. Or can you not trust me?" 

"Ok. Please don't hate me though. My mother was Lily Evans, my step-father was... James Potter." she was almost silent. As it was the middle of the night, everyone else was asleep. "My dad murderd loads of Muggles on the night of the Potter's murder. He also murderd one of his school friends. Peter Pettigrew." 

"I've seen that name somewhere!" I said suddenly. "In Hogwarts... But he's dead. Sorry. Carry on." I paused then I realised. "Sirius Black... That's your dad? Why didn't you tell me?" 

"I had a dream. He came here and I ran to him and you hated me. I didn't want that to happen!" Amy was almost crying. I put an arm around her.  

"I would never hate you!" I protested. Amy looked away. She then ran off. 

"Don't tell a soul!" she shouted behind her. 

That's why she never told me. I wouldn't have if I were her. I felt guilty for pestering her. Another thought struck me. Harry James Potter... Harry's parents were James and Lily Potter. 

"She's Harry's step sister!" I gasped out loud.
