It was after dinner one night when Harry had gone out to the lake. The October sky was dark and it soon began to pour down. Claps of thunder and flashes of lightening could be seen over at the Quidditch pitch. Harry sat on the wet grass quietly. His eyes focused on the picture in hhis hnds. It was the same picture he had been holding on to in the D.A meeting. It was almost like a life line to Harry. He had talked himself into believing that if Evie was still in the picture than she was still alive and well, and that he could save her.
His hair, which usually stood up at odd angles, now lay flat and stuck to his face and Harry's tears mingled with the raindrops. As the days went by Harry grew paler. The stress with his father, the absence of his mother, the non existance of Evie and the expectations of becoming a father. He wanted someone on his side apart from Hermione. He wanted for eveything to be sorted.

Ines was walking along the entrance hall that had perfect view to the lawns. She looked through the rain and saw someone out there alone. She walked out towards the lake and saw that he was someone familiar."Harry?"Ines asked softly as she saw her half-brother standing there in the pouring rain. Her hair was soaked and sticking to her face. She looked at him caringly.

Harry heard his name and looked up to see Ines. "Ines? What are you doing out here?"He no longer had Evie but Ines seemed the only family around anymore. Taking his wand from his pocket he conjured an umbrella. Opening it he held it over his half sister. "you're gonna catch a cold and Dad will have me six feet under."

"Well,I saw someone out here alone in the rain so I came out to see who it was and I found you."Ines said to Harry as she pulled back her hair and wrung some water from it as she sat down beside him."Actually, you don't really get colds from being in the rain,besides,you need under it more than I do. I'm fine being in the rain,it's very calming with everything going on."She said and moved the umbrella to cover Harry as well. She looked at his face closely as they stood there."Are you alright,Harry?"She asked him.

Harry sat quietly the umbrella now covering them both. "Only looking out for you Ines." he said to her softly. Harry then nodded, but it soon turned to shaking his head. "I can't seem to focus on anyo one thing anymore. I'm trying to please about six ddifferent people and I'm letting them all down. And the one person who would tell me straight, Evie, is gone. Hermione's disappeared. I really don't know what to do anymore." he explained.

Ines sat down as well. She nodded after hearing him."You're not letting anyone down."She told Harry."Besides,that's a lot for just a 15 year old. At least you don't have two families and think that one hates you."Ines said,revealing her true feelings. She then sat there and thought a moment."I wish Mum would just move me and her out of England...I hate it here."

Harry looked at Ines. "We don't hate you." Harry said. "Mum loves you. I don't really have any problems with you. I know Evie has attitude but she just feels like she's losing Dad. We spoke to her...she wans you as a sister. Think you'll be easier to cope with than me." Harry laughed lightly. Harry then gave her a curious look, "Why do you hate it here?"

"Sometimes it feels like that. You don't really see it like I do. I'm a by-product of the heat of a moment. Sometimes it just feels like I don't belong with the rest of you all,in an actual family..."Ines said as she sat there and looked down to see her fists clenched with handfuls of her robes in them. She let them go easily and let out a breath."Because everyone knows me and most things about me. I think that if me,and mom,and Riley would all become a family and move a good ways away,we could get away from all this chaos and be able to be like a family. We'd be able to make a new start. I don't want to be in everyone's way or someone that people don't like."
