Chapter 1: The Beginning is always the hardest.

Magic, one of the world's most know and sought after dream. Magic grants one the unlimited potential to do as one wished as seen in of works of literature and myths. It let you fly across the endless skies,to dive the deepest Oceans, to explore the lands that were undiscovered yet, to bend the elements, and etc. There was so much that it could do but the world knew it was only a dream. Magic was something made up to explain the unexplainable and to give hope to the hopeless. Or so they thought because within the world laid another world. This world was the magical world of wizards and witches, humans who had the ability to use magic. To them the skies were the limits as they developed their magic throughout the years to create remarkable fields of magic like Transfiguration the ability to change something into something else, or Charms the spell works that allow the adding and modifications of something. Yes they had developed far until the last hundred years when progress halted to almost a stop. The societies that governed the magicals began to grow scared of the dangers of magic if someone decided they didn't like the ways things were or if they felt they were above everyone else. Soon enough the world saw the rise of two wizards that who later be classed as Dark Lords. The one to now plague the English community of wizards and witches was named Tom Marvolo Riddle or as he called himself, Lord Voldemort.

Voldemort was a man who throughout his tutelage at Hogwarts, a magical school for students from magical and non-magical families to learn magic, had gathered himself a large amount of knowledge in the magical arts from the school and from allies made there. He belonged in the house of snakes, Slytherin who were considered both cunning and ambitious. So it wasn't a surprise when he managed to convince the majority of pureblood supremacist to join at his side in wiping out and enslaving non purebloods. Naturally when one feels threatened, one would strike at the source of the threat. In this case the muggleborns and halfbloods who had mundane parental origins or muggle family choose to fight back being, led by Albus Dumbledore, the defeater of the previous Dark Lord and current strongest wizard in the world. These two figures had their own ideas on how the Wizarding world should be run and when they couldn't get either side to agree with each other, they fought through the political arena. The true fighting never took place until Voldemort began attacking the non purebloods. Raids were done on wizards and mundanes which soon enough, even drew the attention of the Ministry of Magic, the governing body of magic users.

However even with the Ministry in the mix, Albus and his Order of the Phoenix were still not gaining any ground in the war until something happened that later would be called both a miracle and damnation. This something was the conceiving of a Prophecy. A prophecy was given that foretold the fall of the Dark Lord Voldemort at the hands of a child born as the seventh month dies to parents who thrice defied him and lived to tell the tale. This information was first discovered by Dumbledore who wished to control the child of prophecy so he could either mold him later on to be his replacement as the Leader of the Light or destroy someone who was destined to become as powerful as Voldemort and possibly become the new Dark Lord. As fate would have it however, Severus Snape, would also come to hear the prophecy at the same time as Dumbledore as he was spying on the old man. With the prophecy at play, Snape decided to take this information to his master Voldemort. Voldemort upon hearing this, had become nervous as prophecies tended to come true no matter if you ignored it or tried to change it. However he had an ace up his sleeves. He had created Horcruxes, magical vessels that held broken off parts of his soul that in a way had granted him a form of immortality, though not perfect. So he decided to go to the root of the problem and deal with the source of the prophecies contents which was the child meant to defeat him. After having his Death Eaters investigate for children born on the last day of July, he found three possible candidates. The first was Neville Longbottom, born to parents who had defied him three times. The parents were aurors Frank and Alice Longbottom, two purebloods who had the entire Longbottom wealth and resources to become a dangerous opposition in the future. Then there was the Potter twins, Charlie James Potter and Harry Dante Potter. They were born the closest to the time the prophecy predicted with Harry being born one minute before the clock struck midnight and Charlie being born on the strike of midnight. They were born to James Potter and Lily Potter nee Evans, too of the most notable enemies of his side. Both parents had gained enough animosity as one had desecrated his family line by bringing a mudblood into a wizarding family of high station and then the mudblood herself who had proven herself a match for his Death Eaters even Bellatrix Lestrange herself. After days of contemplation, he choose to attack the Potter's himself and send the Lestrange's to deal with the Longbottom's. However the actually plan took place months later when preparations to attack these enemies was plausible. And the day did come, but it was the start of a day he would soon come to regret and loathe.

The day started out as planned. He sent the Lestrange's and Crouch Jr to infiltrate Longbottom manor and take out the Longbottoms child and parents if possible. It had taken quite a while to find Longbottom manors ward system and arrange countermeasures for it. Then they had to surround the area in anti apparition wards and cut off the Floo. Without the Floo they could neither escape or call for help. He just hoped they hadn't placed any other security around the manor or things could become complicated. He himself had had a harder time as the Potter's had hiding under the Fidelius Charm which turned all knowledge of whatever the charm was used on to become inaccessible to anyone and locked the knowledge away from those who knew it except for the Secret Keeper who was the only one to retain said knowledge and could grant access to it until the charm was lifted. And in the case of the Potters, they had hidden themselves from the world in a small cottage in the village of Godric's Hollow with their children. As for the secret keeper, at first it was intended for Sirius Black who was one of James Potter's best friend but after careful consideration, another was chosen. The other was Peter Pettigrew, another best friend of James and Sirius who along with Remus Lupin made up the Marauders. They were a group of pranksters and in some cases bullies that walked the halls of Hogwarts together for seven years. Now even after their school life they remained together and trusted one another. Peter was chosen as he was the most unlikely one to be chosen as the secret keeper out of the rest though Remus wasn't counted as he was deep in enemy territory working as a spy. What many didn't know was that Pettigrew had switched loyalties when he felt that the Dark Lord was winning. And so when the Potters made him secret keeper, he happily brought the news to his master. Voldemort could only grin like a mad man as he finally had all his targets in sight and plans to get to them. When the day came to attack, he awaited for Pettigrew to hand him the location of the Potter cottage while the Potters were away. And soon Pettigrew meet his master outside the residence and revealed the location. Voldemort sudden had a cottage appear in front of him out of nowhere. With a triumphant smile, he strode into the cottage with his wand in hand.

As Pettigrew directed him to the room of the twins, his senses were reacting to a sudden spike of magic before it vanished. All he managed to gather after soothing his senses was that the spike of magical energy came from the area behind the door Pettigrew led him to. With his goal on the other side of the door, Voldemort walked in after Pettigrew opened the door and move to stand outside where he would be unable to see the happenings to occur. A coward to the end and Voldemort would soon bring his usefulness to an end after killing the Potter spawns. As he took in the room decorated by gold and red with images of Quidditch, gryffindors and lions along the walls he could tell that the parents were already preparing the brats to embody the typical Gryffindor ideology. It sicked him that this house was considered the rival of the great Slytherin but he would soon change that and many other things when he had magical England under his rule. He then would prepare the country to strengthen then to appropriate levels to attack the rest of the magical world and then the muggle world. He wasn't stupid and knew better than anyone after his years of travel that the world around Europe had been developing at a faster rate than anyone dared believe. The ICW or the International Confederation of Wizards was considered the United Nations equivalent for the wizarding world. They oversaw all matters regarding magic and the beings classified as magical. They were a strong group of governing body until two years ago when Japan broke off ties when they felt constricted to what could be researched and developed. Soon after many others followed like North and South America, Russia and other Asian countries who all felt they could reach a new era of magical development without the interference of the ICW. Voldemort for his part agreed that it was time for magic to evolve and the way it was used. Though he saw the muggles as inferior specimens to true magic users, he could not deny the advancements they had made as truly ingenious. To be able to communicate with anyone around the world without sticking your head in a fireplace and on your knees was something he desired in order to command his followers better no matter where they were. Then there was the device muggles called television. This was something he desired more than anything to be brought over to the magical world. To be able to bring his face and voice to the people he would rule over in their homes, workplaces, and schools. There would be no need of mass gatherings that would take hours or days to achieve when all he had to do was broadcast his message for all to hear. He could even show the world his power and skills without relying on word of mouth that just didn't convey the truth like actually seeing for oneself. From what he heard, there were a couple of wizards in Japan working alongside the Americans to produce a magical powered device that was the counterpart of muggle television. He would have to have his Death Eaters investigate and hopefully bring such a device over for his use after dealing with all his enemies.

But getting back on track, Voldemort's sight fell on the two children who could possibly bring his demise and end his dreams. Charlie Potter looked like his father with his brown eyes but had the red hair of his mother. He looked a bit chubby and when Voldemort's sight fell on him, he bursted into tears as the child could feel the corrupted and dark magic that naturally spilled from the Dark Lord. After placing a silencing charm on the annoying child, Voldemort turned to the other only to step back in surprise. The child who had his father's black hair but his mother's green eyes was looking at him with a curious gaze. That should not have been possible as Voldemort's magic should have rendered him a crying mess like the other. When Voldemort looked closely at the child he noticed a whitesh aura surrounding him and keeping his own magic from touching him. After studying the aura closer, he pulled back only to find the child staring at him though the stare almost looked like a glare. They held each other's gaze until Voldemort smiled menacingly and somewhat amused. Soon he was chuckling to himself. If ever he questioned himself about who his destined enemy would be then all he had to do was remember this moment when a child merely one year actually held his gaze without fear or intimidation. No one had been able to do so since he became the Dark Lord, not his followers nor his enemies. Dumbledore himself could barely do so before it became too much and he looked away. This child would have surely been a worthy adversary if allowed to prosper but he couldn't risk it. So after one last sight of his would have been destroyer, he brought his wand to point at Harry and powered up his most deadly spell, the Avada Kedavra. When he felt its power overflowing, he stepped back and shoot his spell. What happened next would be engrain in his mind for years to come. The spell flew right at Harry until it stopped five feet away from him and was held in the air. Harry for his part was glowing with an aura of white and Black that was burning away at the curse. The curse was soon reduced to nothing but a bundle of darkness and magic. The magic was then pushed aside where it met with the body of Charlie and created a scar on his chest shaped like an S before being knocked out. Harry who was beginning to glow less and less slumped back on his crib but not before a white and black like wave of magic shootout around him. The wave managed to hit Voldemort as it penetrated his body causing immense pain until he saw the darkness left over from his spell being carried by the wave and ramming into his weakened body. Then soon the wave started to shrink itself back into Harry caring along Voldemort's dark magic left from his destroyed body. Just as the wave of white and black returned, cracks could be heard from the entrance of the home that Pettigrew fled when he saw the light show between the Dark Lord and one of the twins.

Soon the twins room was flooded in by the Potter family of James and Lily Potter followed closely by their three year old daughter Caroline who was the perfect clone of her mother with her red hair and green. Others to enter were Remus Lupin and Sirius and his wife Selena and their daughter Alexandra who was the same age as Caroline and had her mother and father's hair and mothers sky blue eyes. Following behind them was the headmaster of Hogwarts itself Albus Dumbledore who after searching the room found a pile of ash near a dark robe and then two knocked out babies. When he stopped the parents from rushing to their children, he walked up to them and run a few diagnostics spells before turning to the parents and levitating the children to them. As James checked over Charlie and Lily over Harry, Dumbledore began explaining his findings on the children. "James ,Lily, listen closely and don't interrupt me until I'm done as this is a serious matter. As you know a prophecy was given that told of the fall of the Dark Lord by the hands of a child who we knew were either Neville, Charlie, or Harry. Today it looks like Voldemort came to attack those said mention children as I heard Longbottom manor was attacked but the Longbottoms managed to hold off the attackers with the help of Augusta Longbottom being their to help her son and daughter in law. And by the looks of it, Voldemort came here himself to deal with these two. The only way I see this happening is if Peter told him the location of your cottage. Well deal with Peter in time but for now we need to deal with the situation at hand. One of your children has defeated the Dark Lord and I believe it to be Charlie who did it."

"How are you sure Professor," Lily asked, "what are you basing that type of conclusion on?"

Before Dumbledore could speak up, James stepped in for him, "Lily what are you asking? Of course he's sure, he's the greatest wizard in the world. If he says it's Charlie then it's Charlie."

Dumbledore intervened before they started arguing. "Lily has the right as their mother to ask and i shall answer. Now the first thing that makes me believe it was Charlie is the fact that his magical core is fluctuating as if it took a heavy burden like destroying a powerful being like Voldemort. Then there's the scar on his chest that looks like a snake or an S which means…"

"That he was marked by the Dark Lord as his equal." James exclaimed cheerfully as he swung his son around in joy. "My son is the defeater of Voldemort, he's…"

"The 'Boy Who Lived', to survive and defeat one of the strongest wizards alive. The world shall praise and honor him as their savior. But I bad news for both of you, well two pieces to be exact. Though his body was destroyed, Voldemort still might live. As you may already know, he was always searching for magics and and any works that related to immortality. And from what I've seen from his remains, he may still be out there though only as a spirit. We will have to train Charlie in order for him to face such a threat should it approach its self again. Now onto the other bit of bad news. Harry here is tainted by dark magic." Dumbledore gravely announced.

Lily and James looked at their child before turning back to Dumbledore. "What does that mean for Harry then?" Lily asked fearful for her son.

Dumbledore looked sadly at Lily before dropping the biggest news yet. "It means that should Harry employ his magic to much then the dark magic from Voldemort shall stain his own and corrupt his magic and most likely turn Harry to the use of Dark Arts, a Dark Wizard."

Now the majority of the room looked at Harry as if he was the plague with the exception of Lily though her hold on him loosen.

Dumbledore saw this and tried to calm them down. "Now there isn't anything to worry about, your perfectly safe from Harry as long as his magical use is kept unused though with accidental magic it would be impossible so try to make sure he doesn't use magic if possible."

Everyone nodded at this though they were still wary of Harry. Lily looked at her child before scolding herself for her earlier reaction. He was her child and she shouldn't have been quick to judge him. She promised herself that she would do better in protecting and taking care of her children, loving them all like the mother should before setting off to Potter manor that was still under repairs though livable for now. As they discussed plans for the future and thought of the ramifications of the night's events, Lily wouldn't realized that she had made such a promise to herself only to break it in regards to Harry. It would also mark the day that would hunt her dreams as the day she lost a son in Harry.

Time Skip: Potter Manor Harry and Charlie's 4th Birthday

The manor was in celebrations as today Charlie turned four years old along with Harry though if you asked anyone whose birthday it was, Charlie is the only one they'll mention. It had been the best years so far for Charlie as he was a celebrity in the wizarding world after the fall of Voldemort. Everywhere he went, he was treated as a king. Stores gave him free things and adults treated him to things like magic and other fun stuff. Every kid wanted to be his friend and would do as he told them to except the ones who belonged to the Dark families with Death Eaters in them that hated him for destroying their master. He could do what he wanted and when he wants without getting in trouble since most of the time all he had to do was blame his twin Harry. Harry, now that was a sore subject for everyone in the Potter family. Since the fall of Voldemort, his parents had taken to raising them to the best of their abilities. Though when one looked closer they could see troubling issues arise throughout the last three years. Were Charlie was always doted on by his family, Harry seemed to be ignored unless it was to change him, feed him, or wash him. Other than that the family mostly stayed away except for his mother Lily and sister Caroline. However Caroline soon started to distance herself along with Alexandra who used to love to play with the twins. Soon though they just played with Charlie only and would only spare a glance at Harry when he was around playing by himself. That however didn't affect Harry because he still had their mother. If your were to ask the twins who their favorite parent was, Charlie would name his father and Harry his mother. And did Harry love his mother. In the house that was suppose to be filled with loving family, Lily was the only one to ever find time to spend with Harry and actually treat him like he existed. Three years ago though, another sister had been borned after Voldemort's death though the stress had almost caused Lily to lose her child. When she was born, they named her Hope in honor of surviving her birth and because she was to experience a new peaceful life free of the Dark Lord. But even then, soon Lily was busy taking care of Hope that Harry was left more alone. Hope herself was kept away from Harry especially by their father. His father had time to spend with him but refused to do so for reasons Charlie didn't know. His uncles Sirius and Remus also barely spent time with Harry. As for himself, if everyone ignored Harry then so would him because the adults were doing it. Then one day a year ago, he had broken the broom that his parents got him by accidental magic, and when his parents asked what happened looking sternly at him, he panicked and blamed Harry for breaking it. His parents without a doubt believed him and went to confront Harry who had come out of his room in time to see his twin looking away from him as his parents started shouting about destroying other peoples property. When Harry tried to deny the accusations, his father backhanded him when he called Charlie a liar. "You dare call the 'Boy Who Lived' a liar you dark…" Before his father had finished his mother snapped at his father, "James, that's enough you went too far. And as for you Harry, apologize to your brother for breaking his broom and head to your room. Don't come out until dinner. No desserts for the next week and you're grounded for two weeks. And don't try lying to us again or it be worst the next time." Lily stated before walking away with James. Charlie who had seen the whole thing decided to never get in trouble and if caught blame Harry. So for a year whenever Charlie did something wrong, he would blame Harry who in turn was constantly punished for things Charlie did. As Charlie was reminiscing he heard his named being called by Ron Weasley, one of his best friends and he took off to play with him until it was time to open presents.

Same Time :With Harry

Harry was in the backyard of the manor as everyone else was enjoying the party. He was practicing wandless, magic a feat that any parent would remark on but not his. When he had used his first bout of magic purposely six months ago, he was looked on in horror by his father which by that time he had somewhat expected. They never really had a father and son relationship more like a warden and his prisoner were in this case the warden had no choice but to watch over the prisoner. A prisoner, that's how Harry felt at the age of four. There was a time when his mother would care for him and actually show him affection but as of late she has been avoiding being around him or leaving his siblings alone with him. He had always loved his mother as she was the only one in the family who would still consider him as such and even though she was avoiding him and being wary of him, it had in no way made Harry love her less. But there have been days where Harry tried to get close to her only to be told to do some chore or go play somewhere else. He didn't know if he had done something wrong so in order to make it up to her, he used all his savings and bought a pair of crystal necklaces that matched their eyes. The other thing about them is when they take in the magic of a person, the color of the crystal changes when the other crystal has magic pumped into it to active their connection to one another and shows a color that measures the affection of each other. Black means hate, grey is neutral where you neither hate nor love the person, and then there's white which means that the affection between the wearers is high enough to call love whether its between siblings, parents or lovers. As it stood the crystal showed gey for Lily when active which meant she didn't hate Harry but at the same didn't hold any love for him either. Today, it was the day of his twin and he's birthday though everyone seemed to think it was only Charlie's. When he had saw his mother preparing the birthday cake he got excited until he saw the wording on the cake and deflated. Again his mother seemed to be ignoring his existence as the cake was address to Charlie only. It was times like these that Harry would feel like crying but he held strong hoping that one day his family would finally treat him as such, though he could feel something break in him as time went on.

Harry was so deep in thought he failed to notice the two blond haired girls walking towards him. The girls were Daphne and Astoria Greengrass, sisters. Their parents were Stefan and Felicia Greengrass who until four years ago were part of the pureblood supremacist before being betrayed by the Dark families as the scapegoats for all illegal activities that transpired during Voldemort's wake. Lucky the Greengrass's were smart enough to keep records of all their dealings and ending up proving their innocence for the majority of charges except for a few minor ones but all they had to do was pay fines and problem cleared. What they didn't expect was for newly appointed head of DMLE Amelia Bones to use their evidence to fish out proof against other Dark families which resulted in their arrest and imprisonment. This naturally gained the Greengrass family the brand of blood traitors and becoming enemies of the Dark families. So with no other choice they joined the neutral side since they knew joining the Light families would definitely make the remaining Dark families try to strike them down. The Greengrass family in their change of political sides also curved their views on non purebloods and grew tolerant of them. Now they have chosen to at least make peace with the Light families by joining them in festivities like the birthday party of Charlie Potter. The adults soon found engaging with the other adults easier then the children as the children had been told of the Greengrass's previous alliances. The children and more so Charlie used this to mock and belittle the two sisters until they decided to leave the rest of the children when Astoria looked ready to cry. They thought of going somewhere quiet and soon found the backyard of the Potter mansion. As they were exploring, they came upon someone else who was already here, so they went to greet him as it would otherwise be rude. When they tapped the person's shoulder, they were surprised to see Charlie Potter in front of them until they noticed he had black hair, green eyes and didn't look as chubby as he did a few minutes ago when they last saw him. The boy in front of them looked nervous before regaining his wits and introducing himself when he saw them frozen.

"Hello, my name is Harry Potter what's yours?"

The sister took a few seconds to reboot their brains before answering the question.

"Hello to you too. My name is Daphne Greengrass"

"And my name is Astoria Greengrass, how do you do."

"Nice to meet you Daphne and Astoria." Harry replied. "And I'm doing fine this evening though maybe I should ask how you two are doing with being back here away from the party and you Astoria looking ready to cry?".

Astoria looked down at her feet as she was reminded of the earlier incident. As tears began to run down her cheeks she felt someone wipe them away only to see Harry as she looked up again.

"Please don't cry. It'll be alright, if you want, you can stay back here until it's time for the cake to be cut." Harry said as he finished wiping Astoria's tears who only nodded her head rapidly as she looked at Daphne. As she was about to ask her own question to the boy in front of her, they heard noises behind them only to see a red haired girl around Harry and Daphne's age come into the back yard accompanied by a an older girl who had purple hair with strands that changed colors. As the two girls approached they heard rustling in the grass behind them only for a light blond head to come out of the bushes wearing an odd bit of accessories. When the first two girls met up with Harry and the Greengrass sisters they introduced themselves.

"We're sorry to bother you but would it be alright to hang out with you all back here? Oh by the way I'm Susan Bones." The redhead now known as Susan asked.

"Yo, i'm Nymphadora Tonks but you should just call me Tonks or we'll have a problem." Tonks stated before continuing, "And as my little friend here said, hope you don't mind the company but it's become annoying over with the other kids who want to fawn all over the 'Boy Who Lived To Be A Pain'. I mean what's the deal with him thinking he could order us around and were suppose to do as he says. Thankfully little Susan here managed to drag me away before I strangled the little brat." The purple headed girl said as she ranted.

When they turned to the other girl, they found her looking at Harry intently as she introduced herself.

"Hi im Luna Lovegood. Are you a twin to the other boy with red hair and brown eyes?" The now identified Luna asked.

This garnered the attention of everybody else as they looked at Harry waiting for an answer. Harry himself looked at the girls before nodding.

"Yeah we're twins brothers." Harry stated.

"Then how come we'll never heard your name being mentioned on the birthday celebration. If your twins then that means you share the same birthday and today should be yours and Charlie's birthday party?" Nymphadora added.

"It should, shouldn't it Nym." Harry said with a smile though some could see it was strained.

Before more could be said, Luna and Astoria took each of his hands and led him into the area with flowers and started to play with him. The rest looked at them before joining them in their antics. What they failed to realize was that they were being watched by two set of different eyes. One was Charlie who had saw the funny looking older girl and the other redhead leave. When he found them, he saw the girls from earlier that used to belong to the Dark families and the loony girl Ron warned him about. Why they were hanging out with his brother he didn't know but as long as the weirdos stayed away he didn't care and left to play with the others. The other person who was watching was Lily herself as she saw her son laughing and enjoying himself. She had been here long enough to overhear their conversion and was ashamed of herself from what she heard. Charlie and Harry were twins and obviously shared the same birthday yet here they were celebrating it only for Charlie. She walked away as she thought of the last few months where she had started avoiding her son after seeing his constant use of magic. She was afraid he would start being affected by the dark magic of Voldemort. When she discussed this with James and Dumbledore, it was decided that Harry would be sent to live with her sister and hopefully cut off his magic usage as Petunia would stop it. She knew her sister would care for her son and was confident that by then the dark magic would purge itself from him and could attend Hogwarts by his seventh birthday as the school wanted to help stabilize their magic early so they could wield it better. The only issue was that she had to distance herself from her son to make it easier when it was time to part. Hopefully she'll be able to earn his forgiveness and bond with him like a real mother and child should.

Harry for his part was enjoying himself after so long of practically being alone. He had people that hopefully would become friends with him. It felt like things were finally looking up for him.

Little did he know that he would only have a year to interact with his new friends before he was moved to his Mundane aunt and uncle's home where his hellish life would begin for the next two years. He would come to know pain and suffering which would crack his already fragile heart further. Nobody would realize until it was too late the damage it would cause and the consequences of a hero with no heart.

Harry: 7 Years Old

Harry who had been living with his mother's sister and his aunt was happily packing his things for his trip to Cross Station where he would finally meet his family again. After two years he would get to see his mother like she had promised. He would see his sisters too though they barely had anything close to a relationship they were still his sisters. As for his twin, that was someone along with his father who he didn't look forward to meeting. They had become unjustly aggressive towards Harry during his last year with the family, going as far as to ignore and usually leave him behind during family events and outings with no one speaking up about it. It hurt to see his family do that to him when all he tried to do was be part of the family but he held strong in the belief that they would change. Maybe if after he had been gone, they would realize that he was part of the family and has done nothing wrong. Yes they would welcome him back with open arms when they saw him again. With such thoughts running in his head, Harry finished packing and headed into the living room were his relatives were waiting. They had not been happy to take him in and especially with his 'freakish' ways as his uncle would call his magical abilities. He himself was usually ever called boy or freak never having heard his name mentioned by his relatives. Everything they ever did was a means to belittle him but he just took it all without complain as he only had to be with them two years. The only good experience that came of his hell was the opportunity to attend mundane school. The things he learned and then researched were amazing. The mundane world had created so many wonderful things like televisions and phones and some bad things like nuclear weapons that could level cities. To make these things that wizards couldn't even do even with magic was truly eye opening to the potential of the mundane. The only thing close to one of the mundanes invention was the Projection Crystal that came out last year and acted like the mundane television. Now news could be spread faster and usually as it happened in real time. Still, in Harry's opinion, the mundane world had better things to offer then the current wizarding England. He hoped to get a chance to continue his exploration of this world further during his breaks from Hogwarts but for now it was time to go meet his family.

Sameday: 10:30A.M. Cross Station

When Harry had arrival he bid a goodbye to his relatives who were already back in their car driving away since they no longer had anything to do with the boy or the freaks. Still Harry waved them off glad to be done with them. No more would be be a slave to them and no more beatings all of which he planned to keep to himself in order to avoid ruining his coming reunion with his family. As he walked through the station he looked for the entrance to the Hogwarts express. Soon he came upon the entrance when he saw a family of redheads go through a pillar like it wasn't even solid. He looked around until it was clear of anyone looking and ran through the pillar to end up almost falling when he reached the other side. Taking in his surroundings, he scanned the area with a smile on his face looking for his family. It took a bit but he thought he found them when he noticed a crowd had formed on the corner of the station were the Floo comers landed. He figured that only Charlie could garner such attention and walked towards the area. After fighting his way through the crowd he finally came out of the frenzy and the first sight his eyes took was his mother in her ever beautiful presence. As they made eye contact, instead of a teary eyed welcome all he got was a surprised look followed by a small shake of her head as he was about to make his way towards her. He was confused, why was she telling him not to approach? It looked like she then got his father's attention, and then the rest of the family and the Blacks who were there with them as well. They all looked surprised and then worried as they tried to move to another area as Lily discreetly waved her wand and a piece of parchment appeared. When she saw no one looking, she crumbled it up and dropped it on the floor before looking at him one more time and then moving with the rest of her family.

Harry looked at his treating family then to the ground where the piece of parchment laid. He careful picked it up and unfolded it before he felt a stinging sensation on his eyes as he read the contents.

We'll talk at Hogwarts after welcoming feast. You'll be called to headmasters office. Until then stay clear of your siblings and me as i will be teaching there. Don't do anything to grab attention and remain anonymous for now.

If anyone had paid him hid, then they would have noticed that though he was smiling, his eyes showed the sadness and a bit of anger that went away as quickly as it came. He was supposed to have a happy reunion with his family yet when they met the first thing they do is walk away from him and tell him not to approach them and all this from his mother. More and more to his lack of knowledge or anyone's else for that matter, his heart continued to crack. He made his way to the train with far less enthusiasm as when he arrived while missing the glances of his mother who looked sadly at her child before hardening herself and Caroline who glance at her brother before shaking her head. Contrary to what Harry believed, Caroline only separated herself from her brother because she saw how he was becoming reliant on her and her mother for support and love in the family. She knew that the rest of the family barely saw Harry as family and that's why she wanted Harry to prove himself to them so that they'll see that he was truly a Potter. She even managed to get Alexandra to help in the plan as well when she told her about Harry's situation. Alexandra at first was unwilling as she loved being around Harry more so than Charlie but as she listened to Caroline's reasons, she finally caved and followed suit in her plan. They would start ignoring Harry in hopes that he would soon try to gain their attention and everybody else's by doing something exceptional but he never did and was content to have just their mother being there for him if only for a small amount of time. Then the day came were he had met those five harlots as she heard some women call each other who made Harry feel content with the way things were. She had almost giving up hope until the plan to send Harry to live with their relatives was proposed. She thought it would be a good way to help Harry see that he needed to help himself and prove to their family that he belonged with them. However after seeing him two years later, she saw that he was still the same as when he left. She felt a hand an her shoulder and when she turned, she saw Alexandra or Alex looking at her sadly. They both gave Harry one last glance and joined their families for their final goodbyes until winter break.

Harry after boarding the train looked for a compartment until he found one in the back that was empty. When he sat down after moving his trunk to the storage place atop of his seat he looked out the window. He had hoped to see his friends that he hadn't seen since moving with his relatives or writing either since owls coming in and from the house would look odd and his relatives would not allow it. As he felt the train start moving, one could hear the footsteps of children and young adults moving through the corridors of the train compartments. After the war it was decided that wizards would begin their magical education earlier as to improve the quality of wizards with the loss of so many wizards and witches. So now children started schooling at the age of seven when their cores began to stabilize in order to increase the quality of their development. Then the wizard or witch would go through fifteen years of education in the magical arts that were approved in England. Though students were bound to take eight more years than previous students of Hogwarts to graduate, the results of earlier education has been shown to be effective as the first generation of students to start in the new educational system who were 7th years this year had shown results that surpassed any other 7th year students in the history of Hogwarts which lead to other institutes around Europe to adapt the same system. He hoped to be able to met Nymphadora who otherwise would have had graduated after this years schooling would have come to an end.

As his thoughts continued, he failed to notice the blond girl who had entered his compartment and was sitting across him observing him. When he did finally notice, he did a double take as he realized who he was staring at, Daphne Greengrass. He stared at her longer then he would have liked as Daphne gracefully stood and stepped in front of him before slapping him across the face, hard. Harry whose head snapped to the side could feel his cheek sting. He guessed he deserved that after not contacting her for two years and was glad he had a tolerance to pain after the punishments he received from his uncle. When he looked back at Daphne, she was holding her hand as tears started running down her face from either pain from slapping him too hard or for finally meeting the person who ignored her for two years. Harry seeing this gently grabbed her hand as Daphne tried to pull away but the pain was preventing her from pulling too hard that she was forced to settled down but now glaring at Harry. Harry only looked at her glare and smiled calmly as he summoned a first aid kit that he always made sure to carry around and started soothing Daphne's hand and put a cooling pack to decrease the bit of swelling already there as he continued holding the cool pack to her palm as his other hand cradled her hand. Seconds soon turned to minutes as neither talked until Harry broke the silence.

"I hope that Susan and Nymphadora don't plan on doing the same or I'll have to walk into the school looking like a chipmunk." Harry said while puffing his cheeks. Daphne kept her glare right at Harry Though her twitching lips told him she was almost ready to crack. So he started making animal noises while pretending to be munching her hand like a nut which finally got Daphne giggling while trying to put on her stern face but failing.

When Harry saw his chance, he lept into his explanation. Daphne after hearing his reasons had her hair shadowing her face. When Harry moved to fix her hair back in place he saw her crying before she threw her arms around him and was crying harder. He tried to comfort her as he hugged her back. It took a bit before she finally calmed down and Harry was cleaning her tear streaks away. Daphne looked at him thankfully before the door opened again and in walked Susan and Nymphadora who smiled at Daphne before seeing the state she was in. Then they got sight of Harry and came to the wrong conclusion before sounds of flesh meeting flesh were heard.

Same Day: Nighttime

We find Susan and Nymphadora each sitting at Harry's side trying to bring down his swollen cheeks while they along with Daphne kept snickering. After they had slapped him, Daphne had taken the opportunity to explain what Harry had told her earlier. Like Daphne, they went hysterical before Harry calmed them down and were later treating his chipmunk like cheeks.

"Oh Harry i'm so sorry but from are point of view it looked like you were picking on Daphne and with our already high temper from not hearing from you well…" Susan started but Nymphadora cut in.

"We let our female fury take over. We're sorry but at least you'll know what to expect next time you incur our wrath." Nymphadora stated.

Harry only looked at them before making a mental note to make sure he avoided making them angry. Then he smiled at them though it was hard with his hurt cheeks and took their hands in his. He really did miss them and he hoped to see Astoria and Luna next year when they would be old enough to attend.

"It's alright Susan, I understand and Indon't hold it against you but please ask about the situation next time ok." Harry said to Susan before turning to Nymphadora, "And Nymphadora, please keep your female fury in check please. I prefer not to have to explain why i'm injured."

Nymphadora or Tonks to those other then Harry since he didn't seem to be bothered by her threats, could only scowl at Harry. One day she would get him to call her properly. But for now she would take the chance to get her Harry Potter "teddy bear" to remember his place as Tonks engulfed him in an embrace that left him breathless. The other two seeing this narrowed their eyes before taking Harry and doing the same. By the time Harry was free of their clutches he was breathing hard. He had forgotten how clingy they got and would be sure to remember to keep his guard up. For now though the spent the time chatting until they finally arrived at Hogwarts. When they arrived, they choice that moment to change into their robes since they were all the way in the back of the train and would only be waiting in a crowd to exit the train. Harry being a gentleman moved to wait outside before Tonks afforded him to stay. Harry however only smiled at her and waited outside while putting on his robes. When they were all done and the crowds in the corridors almost gone, exited the train and went to join the group of students that were gathering by a giant man who had introduced himself as Hagrid. Tonks however had to ride with the rest of the upper years and waved at them until they met up later in the Great Hall. Soon all first years were riding in the boats along the Black Lake taking in the view of the castle that was Hogwarts. Harry had to admit the castle looked beautiful and especially at night when it glowed brightly. He couldn't wait to start his magical education hoping that maybe he could impress his family and gain some form of recognition. Little did he know that soon the whole magical land of England would know his name and realize the biggest blunder they've made would have dire consequences later on.
