Chapter 2
The next day as soon as I woke up, I went straight to the library to learn more. I went through the book trying to consume as much knowledge as I can. I was so engrossed in my reading I didn't notice I was in the library all day. My stomach growled then I realized it was time for lunch, reluctantly I left my new safe haven making my way to the kitchen. Trying to be as quiet as possible not wanting to draw attention, but as always Potter luck strikes again.
" Harry dear, where have you been," Mrs. Weasley asked spotting me, " We've been looking for you all day."
" No where Mrs. Weasley." I answered
" You've been gone all day Harry," Hermonie spoke up, " I wouldn't call that nothing."
" I don't see how that is any of your business." I said talking a seat next to Sirius looking around the table. My eyes landed on Snape as I felt something inside me start to snap.
" Harry, my boy, everyone was worried about you." Dumbledore spoke waling into the kitchen.
" Ok" I said, " I was in the library."
" No, you weren't" Ginny said
" And how do you know." I said frowning at her
" We looked" Ron said
" Where was the library?" I asked tilting my head curiously
" There is only one library," Hermonie said
" And you weren't in there."
" Hmm, well I was in the library." I said shrugging my shoulders.
" No, you weren't mate." Ron said angrily
" Actually, there's another library." Sirius spoke up from beside me
" What," Mrs. Weasley asked shocked, " Why weren't we told about this?"
" Because only those of the Black family can get in." Sirius answered That made everyone except Remus, and I frown in confusion.
" Then why good Harry get in?" Ginny asked
" Yeah, He's not a Black." Ron said
Sirius shrugged, " If the library revealed itself to him then he is."
" Then you can bring me some book then Harry." Hermonie said as her eyes lit up
I turned towards Sirius and asked, " Can I take some books out Siri?"
" No, the magic won't let you." He answered
" What," Hermonie shouted " That's not fair!"
" Well, I don't think Harry should be in there," Mrs. Weasley said frowning, " Who knows what he's reading."
I frowned at that; she never was worried about what I would read. I looked around at Ron, Hermonie, and Dumbledore and saw they agreed with her.
" I could go in there with him." a woman with pink hair said
" That would be great, Tonks." Mrs. Weasley said
" Tonks can't enter the library." Sirius said
" Why not," Tonks asked frowning, " I'm a Black."
" Yes, you are," Sirius said, " but your mother was disowned meaning our family won't accept you."
" But why Harry." Tonks asked " Pronglets's was blood- adopted by me when he was a baby," Sirius explained, " His grandmother Dorea Potter was a Black. "
" Well, I don't see why you are in there, Harry." Hermonie said,
" What do you mean?" I asked,
" It's not like you actually read." Hermoine answered,
" I do read." I spoke
" Yeah right," Ron scoffed, " You never read at Hogwarts."
" Yeah," Ginny agreed, " I've never seen you willingly pick up a book."
" And I never seen you in the library." Hermonie supported
" Well, maybe that's because I didn't think you wouldn't like me if I did." I said rolling my eyes
" What do you mean Mr. Potter?" Snape asked,
" I'm sure Harry didn't mean anything by that." Dumbledore said eyes twinkling
" Hmm," Sirius said, " I think he did."
" From what I was told last night he did." Remus said
" Well, what I said was true." Hermonie said in her know-it-all voice "
Oh, it is?" I asked crossing my arms "
Yes, Harry, it is," Ron said," You never studied."
" If you actually stopped being an idiot for once," I said rolling my eyes, " You would realize I do study."
" HARRY, HOW DARE YOU CALL RON THAT!" Mrs. Weasley shouted
" Well, he is," I said, " I don't see how it is any of your business whether I study or not."
" Harry, my boy, we just don't want you to get hurt." Dumbledore said, " How is reading going to hurt me?" I asked
" Mr. Potter, what did you mean about your friends not liking you because you read." Snape asked
" Well," I sighed, " I dumb down my work."
" Why would you do that pup?" Sirius asked, " Because I didn't think they would like me I was doing better than them." I answered,
" Why would you think that Mr. Potter?" Snape asked,
" Hermonie always saying she's the brightest witch of our age," I said, " and Ron was never interested in learning." I answered,
" I'll tell you what Mr. Potter," Snape said," If you stop dumbing down your work I'll help you with potions."
" Deal professor." I said smiling
" Pup, why don't you go to your room." Sirius said
I nodded walking out, when I walked in the hall, I passed a glass case I could fell something pulling my magic. I got closer to it and saw a golden locket with an S on it, I opened the case grabbed the locket and put it on. I walked into my room, walked to my desk and pulled out some parchment and a quill.
Dear Heir Malfoy,
I'm sorry for not taking your hand in first year and the disrespect to your family. Until today I had no knowledge of my
heritage and the disrespect towards your house. I wish to rectify that and extend my hand in friendship to you in hopes of starting over.
If you wish to accept, we can meet up on the train after summer holiday.
Sincerely, Harry Jame Potter
After writing the letter, I sent it off with Hedwig and sat on the bed when Sirius, Remus, and Snape came in.
