Rebels of Fortune
Prologue
No one really knew what happened that night, all just believed what they were told, young Daniel Potter had saved the wizarding world from Lord Voldemort no one questioned it, after all Albus Dumbledore has said it was true, why wouldn't it be for Albus Dumbledore was never wrong… or so everyone thought.
What had happened Halloween Night 1981 at Godric Hollow well only two people knew, Lord Voldemort knew, but he was in no condition to tell, and young Harry Potter, Daniel's twin knew. He remembered it all, Voldemort coming in, his brother's screams, and the brilliant green light that come towards his brother, but he loved his brother and he protected him, the spell hit him on the back and left its mark, some of it rebounded back to Voldemort vanishing him to a spirit, and a small part hit Daniel Potter on the head giving him a lighting bolt scar that would become famous.
Then ran in his parents and Dumbledore following, they took one look at the robes of Voldemort and Daniel's scar, then it was assumed, Daniel Potter was the boy who lived. They all crowded around him, no one looked at the boy in the corner, none were concerned with young Harry, none looked at him or saw the mark on his back, may i they had it would have ended all right, but they didn't.
When Harry was 5 no one cared about him he was just the Brother, it became his name The Brother to friends of the family and to the family itself he was Boy.
On the day of his 5th birthday was when it all changed, there was a party being held for Daniel's birthday no one seemed to remember that it was Harry's as well.
If anyone had bothered to look around the house in Godric Hollow that had the famous boy who lived they would have seem a few things, they would see pictures of a happy family on the walls a smiling mother, a proud father and a son who looked like him mother but with his father's eyes, they would have seen no evidence of another boy.
If they looked through the bedrooms they would have found the parents room, Daniel's room full of toys, books, games and anything a boy could want, then they would see Daniel's play room, Sirius's guest room and at the end, if they looked close they might notice a door you could mistake for one leading to a closet, the room wasn't much bigger then a closet but it was there that could be found Harry Potter.
Harry had jet black hair like his Father, he actually looked like a younger version of his father, except for the eyes they were a green similar to his Mother Lily Potter but the eyes had swirls of green like the killing curse, and there was something missing in the eyes, it's what some people would call innocence, but Harry Potter had lost that a while ago.
Harry in his room listening to the noise down stairs everyone celebrating his brother's birthday, he could hear them all giving presents commenting on how good his brother was, it still hurt Harry after all this time it still hurt being ignored and he hated it, he used to believe that his parents loved him they just knew that Daniel needed more attention but he learnt quickly that they didn't, he was just baggage and he hated it.
Harry got off his bed and went down stairs he was hoping Uncle Moony would be there, because Uncle Moony noticed Harry and actually was happy to see him. The party downstairs was winding down, most of the well wishers had left, now it was really only true friends of the family left, Harry opened the door hoping to go in unnoticed, luck was not on his side, when he walked in he bumped into Sirius who happened to be holding a very large cake, and when hit by Harry happened to drop it.
For a moment no one moved and then it happened, James Potter yelled at Harry telling him he was disgrace, wanting to know how he could do that to his brother on his birthday, Harry didn't answer and James got angry, he grabbed the boy and threw him across the room.
"James NO" He could hear Uncle Moony saying but it made no difference, his Father hit him again and again. Harry just took it knowing he couldn't stop it.
"James don't" He heard Moony again, his looked up his Father had his hand ready about to hit him but Uncle Moony stopped him.
"You can't do that to a child James it was an accident it wasn't Harry's fault."
'Don't bother' Thought Harry 'it'll make it worse'
"I can do what I want with him, he's no child he's a freak and he ruined his brother's birthday he must be punished." James roared at Moony
"Not while I'm here." At another time Harry would have been happy to know that someone cared enough to stick up for him, but he knew it wouldn't matter.
Then it happened James yelled at Moony telling him to get out of his house and never return. Harry's only protector was banished from his sight, the one person that cared about Harry that actually saw Harry.
Harry did the only thing he could as Moony walked out the door he ran, he ran out of the house, out of Godric Hollow and into the forest that everyone feared, where no one would follow.
And for years no one ever heard anymore about Harry Potter.
