Chapter Four

Trying

Sighing Harry got ready for bed before deciding to have a little chat with his sister before he turned in. Harry was halfway across the commons room when the portrait swung open to admit his two best friends. "Harry, how are things mate? Your sister make it?" Hermione hit the red head over the back of the head.

"Didn't I say to be subtle?" She rolled her eyes as Ron rubbed the spot on the back of his head. "Hi Harry." Harry shook his head at both of them. "Hi guys, everything's fine and yes Ron she made it." Harry had to bite back on a chuckle when Hermione started jumping up and down clapping her hands.

"Can we meet her Harry? Oh I always wanted a sister." It was Ron's turn to roll his eyes. "Real subtle Herm, real subtle." Hermione stopped jumping around to glare at him. She shrugged her shoulders looking at Harry expectantly. "Well… guys see tonight might not be the best night…" Harry was having trouble deciding how best to tell his friends that his sister might not be very happy to meet them. But the creek of a door opening interrupted him.

"Oh I didn't realize anyone else was here." Shie stood in the opening of her door looking at the three. Trying to decide if she should just continue as planned or turn back around. "Um… Shie I'd like you to meet my friends." Harry's face looked almost pleading.

He sighed when she started toward them. "Shie, these are my two best friends Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasley. Mione, Ron… this is my sister Shie." Harry was a bit surprised at how easy that had been. It still felt a bit awkward claiming someone he'd not know for more then twenty four hours his sister, but it seemed to fit.

Shie gave a tight lipped smile to the two. "I don't know if you realize what time it is or not but whether you do or not, it has been a trying day, and I wish for it to be over. Now if you don't mind, good night." She turned and walked straight into Tuli's room without so much as knocking. Harry closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He flight screaming Aaagggghhhh at the top of his lunges.

"Well that was just plan rude." Ron remark was followed by a crunch, and then a rather loud "Ouch, Herm what you do that for?" Hermione rolled her eyes. "Because Ronald, you were succeeding in being an arse. She was absolutely right, and besides who wouldn't feel a bit ill tempered in her situation?" Ron looked over his shoulder and gave a weary look to Harry. At the door Hermione stopped long enough to call a goodnight before leaving to return to their, own common room.

Harry who didn't know whether to laugh or yet again fell like screaming turned and marched straight to the same door Shie had just entered moments ago. He didn't pause to think about what he was about to do instead he merely just started banging on the door. Tuli in a calm since of presence opened it. "Yes Harry? What can I help you with?" Harry didn't even bother answering. He pushed the door wider and walked right past Tuli and up to Shie who sat on the edge of the bed.

"Listen here young lady. I understand that you've just been and still are going through some ruff times but that gives you no reason to treat my friends that way. They had nothing to do with the situation you are in right now, and have no reason to be blamed for it." Shie made to get up and leave, Harry didn't even stop talking to let her even have a chance to get a word in. He merely moved in front of her and gently pushed her back on the bed.

"I am not finished. You think that just because this all has happened it gives you the right to treat people the way you just did. Well it's going to stop here and now. You can treat me any way you wish but you will think twice before you treat members of the only real family I've ever had that way. Do I make myself clear? Oh and one last thing. Hermione has been very excited about getting to meet you and she is a very understanding person so she naturally has already forgiven you, but none the less you owe both of them an apology." Harry didn't wait for a reply. Turning on his heals he walked out and back into his own room.

That hadn't been the conversation he had planned on and it defiantly had come off a bit harsher then he had planed. Well it was just going to have to do.

(Mean while in Tuli's room)

Tuli stepped back as Shie grabbed on of his pillows and threw it at the now closed door. "Who does he think he is?" Tuli shook his head and his friend. "The question is Shie who do you think you are? Ah don't try to deny it. I heard you just as clearly as if I had been standing next to you. You spoke as if were the Queen of Sheba, and everything was everyone's fault."

Tuli held up his hands in a surrendering way while Shie glared daggers at him. "It's less their fault then it is his how things worked out and it's hardly his fault at all. Yes I suppose he could have turned you away, not have claimed you, but what then who knows where you maybe now. Shie I know this is not easy, but you have to admit that everyone is trying the hardest to make it as easy as possible for you. You're just not letting them and to top it all off you're making it harder on yourself as well as them."

"Try to get to know your brother, wont you? Just try that is all I'm asking." Shie let her shoulders slump. "What if I don't want to try?" Tuli shook his head. "Then who knows what you're missing out on. Give him some credit Blom he's trying it may not seem like it to you, but he is."

Blom- Tuli's nickname for Shie – means flower

Well the next update should be soon that is if I don't get extremely sick again. You guys ever hear of a thing called bed arrest? I am so 'sick' of sleeping. Well hope you enjoy.
