Chapter One

Harry wasn't sure what to do. On the one hand, he was a wizard. A freaking wizard! He had magical powers, a wand, and a new pet owl, thanks to his new half-giant friend Hagrid. The man was even larger than Rashid and Harry had thought that was possible until now. He now knew the truth about his parents, they hadn't died in an accident, they had been murdered. Murdered by a madman that Harry was credited with defeating when he was only a year old.

It was all so surreal. If it wasn't for the fact that Heero and Duo said it was true, Harry wouldn't believe it. He couldn't imagine that there was a school out there that taught children to be wizards and yet, he had been invited to one. The same one his mum and dad attended. If he went to Hogwarts, Harry would learn more about them, maybe even meet people who had known them while they were alive.

But if Harry went to Hogwarts it would be for most of the year. He'd get to come home on holidays and for summer break. The thought of being away from Heero and his family for that long was heartbreaking. He met Heero two years ago but had only been living with him for one. He wasn't ready to leave his brother. And Quatre and Trowa had just adopted Lulu! Harry still needed to teach the baby how to say his name. How could he leave before accomplishing that?

Except this was a magical school. It was every child's dream come true to find out they had magic and were special. There was an entire world out there that Harry had a right to be a part of. So what was he supposed to do? He wanted to be with his brother but he also wanted to be a wizard.

Harry collapsed onto his bed and let his body slide down onto the floor. He flopped on his stomach and stayed there, staring at the wall. That was how Duo found him when he knocked on the door and let himself in.

"Kiddo?" Duo laughed when he saw Harry and decided to join him on the floor. "I brought cake." He put a slice of chocolate cake right in front of his nose.

Harry grabbed a bite with his fingers and shoved it into his mouth. Duo shook his head again and forced Harry to sit up.

"Come on, now. Penny for your thoughts?"

"I don't know what to do about school," Harry admitted, grabbing his cake and picking up the fork. "I don't know if I should go to Hogwarts. What do you think, Duo?"

Duo munched on his cake as he thought. "Well... Heero and I have agreed that the decision is yours. We'll support you no matter what. With that being said, finding out magic is real is pretty cool. The fact that there's a school that teaches it is also cool, but you going away for most of the year? Not cool."

Harry nodded. "I don't know what to do. I want to learn magic, I want to go where my parents did but I don't want to leave you or Heero. Everything's so perfect right now. I have a family, friends, and even a brand new little sister! I'll miss so much if I go away for boarding school."

Duo nodded. "But you'll also gain a lot," he pointed out. "You'll learn a new skill, a new way of life, you'll meet new people, and, judging from some of the crazy books, you'll see a completely different world. It'll be full of new experiences and new adventures."

Harry shook his head. "But I get that here! Being with you is a new experience! The world we live in is different! I don't live in a cupboard anymore but a mansion! I don't just have clothes, but I have clothes that fit! And I learn new stuff everyday. And I've gotten plenty of adventure, what with being kidnapped multiple times."

"That's not going to happen again," Duo interrupted fiercely. Harry rolled his eyes.

"Right, you guys put a tracking chip in me. That's an invasion of privacy, you know."

Duo ruffled his hair and Harry pouted. "What do you want to do?"

Harry shook his head. "I don't know, Duo. I don't know what I want."

"Well then you'll just have to sleep on it," Duo declared. He reached over and lifted Harry easily into the air, tossing him onto this bed. "Heero will be back tomorrow and we can talk it over with him then."

Harry nodded and crawled under the blankets. "Maybe I'll dream the answer."

"Maybe." Duo kissed his head before shutting off the lights. He gathered up the plates of half-eaten cake and shut the door behind him. Wufei was in the hall and stopped, frowning at the plates.

"You should not give him cake before bed!" he scolded.

"Give me a break, Wuffers," Duo said with no real venom behind his words. "Who knows how much longer I'll have my little cake buddy."

Wufei stared at the usually hyper teen in surprise. Duo really was upset and the choice of Harry's schooling weighed heavily on his heart. In a rare moment of compassion between the two, Wufei placed his hand on Duo's shoulder.

"Regardless of his choice, Harry will always be your cake buddy."

Duo smiled sadly at his friend and didn't answer.

*!*!*

That night Harry did have a dream. He dreamed of casting spells, of doing anything he wanted, of fighting dragons, and going on endless adventures. He saw himself as the most powerful wizard in the world. He fought monsters and won and saved the world, just like his brothers had done.

When Harry woke up the next morning he lay in bed, thinking about all the amazing things he had accomplished in his dreams and knowing that it was all possible. Magic would open up a whole new world and that thought was very tempting to Harry. However, there was something missing from his dreams, something glaringly obvious and something Harry was not willing to give up.

The boy climbed from bed and padded downstairs. His whole family was already sitting at the breakfast table. Quatre was feeding Lulu who cooed the moment Harry entered. The baby smiled and reached out for him and Harry kissed her before running over to Heero. His brother had been away for the last few days, taking care of work in the city. Without asking, Harry climbed onto Heero's lap and made himself comfortable.

"Doin' alright, kiddo?" Duo asked, ruffling his hair. Harry grumbled and rubbed his face into Heero's shirt. Heero peered at him.

"Harry?"

"I had a dream last night," Harry said, his voice slightly muffled by Heero's shirt. "It was awesome. I was this crazy powerful wizard and could do anything. I went around beating monsters and saving people."

"That sounds like a fun dream," Quatre said. "So why do you look so upset?"

Harry looked at everyone, feeling tears prick his eyes. He angrily wiped them away, feeling foolish. "Because... because you weren't there!" He looked up at Heero. "None of you were. I was all alone."

"Harry, you'll never be alone," Duo assured.

"I will if I go off to school!" Harry argued. He shook his head. "It's not fair! I want to be a wizard but I don't want to leave to do it." He looked at Heero. "I've made up my mind; I'm not going to Hogwarts. I've only been with you for two years! That's not enough time. I'm not willing to go somewhere that will take me away for so long. I want to be here, with all of you for as long as I can."

Harry was looking into Heero's eyes when he made his announcement so he missed the look of relief that flashed over Duo's face and the smiles that spread over the others.

"You have come to this decision on your own?" Heero asked.

Harry nodded. "Yes."

Heero smiled. "Then we will respect it. I will write a letter to the person in charge of the school and decline their offer."

"You're not mad?"

Heero shook his head. "Why would I be mad that you chose to stay with me?"

Harry grinned and hugged Heero tightly.

*!*!*

Hawk turned eleven two weeks after Harry. He sat in his dining room at the table with his parents. No one was speaking as Rashid studied the letter that had been delivered by an owl. The four other Kurama children were hiding behind the doorway, trying to be perfectly still and quiet so they could eavesdrop. The kids were surprised they had been kicked out of the room in the first place as the Kurama family was very close. The children were near enough in age to be friends with each other and Shilin, their mother, had always instilled how important family was and to always treat each other with love and kindness. So when something important had happened for their oldest brother they were all shocked when Rashid and Shilin wouldn't tell them what it was and sent them from the room.

Finally, Rashid set the letter down and looked between his wife and son. "This is real," he announced. Hawk's eyes widened.

"I'm a wizard?" he whispered in awe.

"Yes."

"But husband," Shilin said uncertainly. "I know Hawk has performed... unexplainable things, but magic? Witches and wizards?"

"I know it is true because Master Harry received this exact letter on his birthday two weeks ago. Master Quatre confided in me about it."

"Harry has magic too?" Hawk interrupted. "I knew it! It's the tingly feeling!"

Rashid hmm-ed in agreement. "Master Heero and Master Duo were approached by a man who represented this school and taken to the 'wizarding world' as he called it. They were shown around and assisted in purchasing these school items."

"So Harry's going to go to this school?" Hawk asked eagerly.

"I do not know, he hasn't made up his mind yet."

"We need to focus on you, Hawk," Shilin said. "If magic is real, these people wish for you to go to a boarding school to learn it."

"Well of course!" Hawk said eagerly. "Who wouldn't want to go and learn magic?"

"Hawk, I do not know if this is a good idea," Rashid said gently. "I do not like the idea of you living somewhere else for an entire school year. You are only eleven."

"Oh come on dad!" Hawk whined. "It's just school! And it's not like you can't keep track of me." Hawk crossed his arms and began to grumble, "You put a stupid tracking chip in me and all the other kids."

"Of course I did," Rashid snapped. "You were kidnapped! And that is another reason I'm not sure I want you going off to a different school!"

"But think about it, Papa!" Hawk jumped to his feet. "We've never heard of this world before! If someone wants to kidnap me, how are they going to find me in a secret world that not even you or Master Quatre knew about until now?"

Rashid didn't look convinced so Hawk turned to his mother. "Mama, you always told me I was different, special, well it turns out you were right!"

Shilin stared at her son shrewdly. "This is not what I meant when I said you were special."

Hawk threw his hands into the air, pouting at both his parents. "Well I want to go. I think it sounds amazing! Please?"

"We need to discuss this matter privately," Rashid answered. "Go play with your brothers and sisters while we talk."

Hawk rolled his eyes. "I'm going to go call Harry. I want to talk to someone who's at least excited by this news."

*!*!*

Hawk waited eagerly in his bedroom in front of his video phone. Duo had gone to get Harry and Hawk could barely contain himself. He couldn't believe it. He was a wizard! He had magic! Magic was real! He had never thought the little tricks he performed would lead to such a huge change in his life. He hadn't actually known what think about his abilities. He had just accepted them as fact and moved on.

Harry appeared in the video screen and smiled at his fried. "Hey Hawk! What's—"

"I'm a wizard!" Hawk blurted out excitedly. "My dad said you're one too!"

Harry stared at him in shock before shaking his head. He nodded. "Yeah, I got a letter on my birthday, you did too?"

"Yeah yesterday. I found it after the party. An owl —an actual owl— delivered it."

"Mine too."

Hawk sat back, staring at Harry curiously. "Why aren't you more excited? I can't stop bouncing around! I mean, this is amazing! We're both wizards with magic!"

Harry shrugged. "I guess I just don't find it that cool."

"Why?"

Harry's image shrugged again and he fiddled with a pen on the desk before him. "Well we just found out that my parents were killed by magic. My relative's lied when they said it was a car crash."

"Oh..." Hawk sat back in his chair, some of his excited energy finally going away. He watched his friend carefully on the screen. "Did the Dursleys know about magic?"

Harry nodded. "It's why they treated me so badly growing up. They were afraid of it and me. They put me in the cupboard hoping to squash it out of me."

Hawk's eyes widened. "Harry, don't let them ruin a good thing for you! Master Heero and Master Duo are okay with this right?"

Harry nodded. "That's what they say..."

"Then it's true!" Hawk exclaimed. "I'll bet you anything, when we start school together and start learning how to use magic, all this will go away. You'll see how great it can be."

Harry looked up in surprise. "You're going to Hogwarts?"

"Yeah! Well, my parents haven't actually decided yet, but I know I can convince them."

Harry looked sad and stared down at the pen in his hands. "I've decided I'm not going to go."

Hawk's jaw dropped. "Why?"

Harry shrugged. "Because I've only found out about Heero two years ago! And of those two years I've only been living with him for one. I don't want to go to some school year round and not be with him. Three months in the summertime and holidays aren't enough for me." He glanced at Hawk before turning away. "And besides, we've got Lulu now—"

"For the last time," Hawk interrupted. "Lulu isn't your replacement, she's an addition to the family."

"She will be if I disappear off to school..."

Hawk growled in frustration, running a hand through his hair angrily. "If you don't want to go because you want to spend more time with Master Heero and Master Duo, that's fine. I completely understand. If you're not going because you think the moment you leave you'll be replaced, then I'm going to convince you otherwise!"

"Hawk, I've already made up my mind and Heero and Duo agree with me."

"Well I don't!" Hawk snapped. "I'm your best friend and, believe it or not, I know you better than anyone! I know you want to go to Hogwarts, you're just afraid to. You think leaving will mean you're not part of the family anymore but I'll prove otherwise!"

Without another word, Hawk cut the connection. Harry stared at screen blankly before sighing deeply.

*!*!*

A few days later, the Kurama family was sitting in Quatre's dining room, eating a large meal. The day after receiving Hawk's school letter a representative from the wizarding world, Professor McGonagall, as she had introduced herself, had come and taken them school shopping and introduced the family to the wizarding world. After seeing it first hand, Rashid and Shilin had agreed to let Hawk attend Hogwarts.

The two large families were now sharing a meal together to discuss the strange new world that had been opened to the them. The youngest of the Kurama family sat surly at the table, extremely jealous of Hawk and Harry and their new found powers. They poked at their food unhappily and only ate a few bites when their mother chided them. Hawk ate his food absently, glaring at his friend who refused to look at him. Quatre noticed the animosity immediately but decided not to comment. Hawk and Harry had proven before that the didn't need help working our their problems.

Once dinner was over, Harry offered to take Lulu upstairs for bed so Quatre and Trowa could have sometime with their guests. He carefully placed his little sister on the changing table before removing her clothes and diaper. Harry made a face and tried not to breath as he quickly changed the little girl's diaper.

"I hate changing diapers."

Harry jumped and turned around, seeing Hawk standing in the doorway, holding his little sister, Makayla. She was the same age as Lulu, ten months.

"But mom wouldn't let me come up here without a reason," Hawk went on. He joined Harry at the changing table and Harry carefully moved Lulu over so Makayla fit on the table as well.

They didn't speak until the babies were clean and in fresh diapers. Harry searched through the drawers, looking for a set of pajamas he liked while making sure to never take his hand off Lulu, in case she wiggled around and fell.

"Can I borrow some of her clothes?" Hawk asked quietly. "Mom didn't pack any pajamas for Makayla."

"Sure." Harry pulled out two sets of clothes, one purple with pink flowers and the other pink with purple flowers. The boys finished dressing their sisters and picked them up. Because of how often Quatre babysat for Shilin and vice versa the girls each had their own crib in the nursery. Harry carefully placed Lulu on her back.

"I'm going to miss my family," Hawk admitted. "But at least I get to come home for the holidays."

"I'm going to miss hanging out too."

Hawk glared at him. "No you're not, you're coming to Hogwarts with me."

"I told you—"

Hawk didn't let him finish. "Harry, you're my best friend. I know you've been through some really bad stuff in your life but I'm not going to let it affect you! Master Heero and Master Duo love you and will keep on loving you while you're away at school learning to be a wizard."

"You don't know that!" Harry snapped, stepping away from Lulu's crib. "They could easily forget me, especially with Lulu around now, or decide having a freak kid isn't worth the trouble."

Hawk glared at him. "You're like a broken recording! You just keep repeating the same nonsense over and over. Your brother loves you. He adopted you. Not Lulu, you."

"So did my aunt," Harry argued. "She adopted me and then found out what I was and threw me in the cupboard hoping to get rid of it!"

"I thought about that," Hawk said. "Master Heero found out about your magic a while ago, right? Well, did he throw you in the cupboard?"

"Not yet—"

"Master Heero!" Hawk shouted and ran from the room. Panicked, Harry ran after him, yelling at Hawk to shut up. Hawk ignored him and appeared on the top of the stairs, shouting. "Master Heero! Master Duo!"

The two appeared in the hallway with Shilin, looking confused by the shouts. Shilin scowled up at her son.

"Hawk! What are you doing, shouting like that? I taught you better."

"Sorry mama," he said absently. "Master Heero, would you ever throw Harry in the cupboard?"

Harry was bright red from embarrassment and anger. He glared at his friend, his hands clenching into fists.

"No," Heero stated clearly. "Why are you asking?"

"What about you, Master Duo?" Hawk turned to the other man. "Would you lock Harry in the cupboard? For any reason?"

"Course not," Duo answered easily, staring at Harry. "What are you two talking about?"

Hawk glanced at his angry friend before looking back down. "What if Harry killed someone? What would you do then?"

Heero and Duo were dumbfounded by the question. The thought of their little Harry killing a person was laughable. The little boy couldn't bring himself to swat a fly, let alone kill a person. Quatre entered the hallway and looked up at the children seriously.

"We would hide the body and make everything go away," Quatre answered calmly. "We would never lock him away, in a cupboard or anywhere else, and we would continue to love him unconditionally."

Hawk smirked at the answer. "Thank you, Master Quatre." He turned to Harry triumphantly. The dark haired boy just glared and stormed back to the nursery. Hawk followed quickly.
"What the hell was that about?" Duo demanded.

Quatre shrugged and gently took Shilin's arm with a smile. "I'm so glad your son is Harry's friend. He's an absolutely wonderful child."

"Your Harry is amazing as well," Shilin complimented. "He's unknowingly taught Hawk to be more respectful of others feelings. They are such a good pair."

"Indeed."

Heero and Duo exchanged confused looks before shrugging and following the other two back into the living room.

Upstairs, Harry was fuming. He rounded on Hawk as soon as his friend entered the room.

"What the hell?"

Hawk shrugged. "I was proving a point."

"Ugh, you just don't get it!" Harry suddenly stopped talking, looking around in a panic. "Where's Lulu?"

Hawk looked in the crib and saw it empty. Both boys whipped around, searching the room with their eyes. Harry dropped to the floor and peeked under the crib, not seeing the baby girl anywhere. Panicked, he jumped to his feet, intending to run for Trowa but Hawk stopped him.

"She's with Makayla!"

Harry looked into the second crib and saw his sister, snuggled up with Makayla and smiling in her sleep. Harry let out a relieved breath as his heart slowed down. He reached into the crib and lifted her up carefully.

"How'd she get over there?"

"I don't know," Hawk admitted.

Harry put the baby back in her own crib and noticed how she frowned and started to squirm unhappily. He rubbed her stomach a moment before turning away. Hawk was staring at him, his arms crossed.

"Look, I want to go to Hogwarts but not badly enough to risk things here," Harry tried to explain. "If they can adopt one normal kid, they can adopt more."

"You are normal!"

"No, I'm a wizard. That's hardly normal."

Hawk growled in frustration and opened his mouth to argue more but stopped. His eyes grew wide as he looked over Harry's shoulder. Harry turned and stared as Lulu floated out of her crib and carefully into Makayla's. The babies snuggled together and fell back asleep in moments.

"Did you do that?" the boys asked each other in unison.

"Wow, do you think Lulu's a witch?" Harry asked.

Hawk burst out laughing suddenly, quieting himself quickly when the babies stirred. He sat on the floor and covered his mouth. Frowning, Harry sat next to him.

"What's so funny?"

"You're freaking out because you think Master Quatre adopted a nice normal baby to replace you and and..." he broke off into laughter. "And then she just goes and floats herself out of her crib! I mean, seriously, Harry, you're family is full of terrorists, teenage business owners, circus performers, and you're worried they won't like you because you're not normal. News flash! They're not normal!"

Hawk laughed and Harry stared at him. He had never really thought of it that way. Heero and the others weren't normal but Harry loved them with all his heart anyways.

"Well they did care enough to rescue me from the Dursleys, and then from kidnappers, and then adopt me, and then rescue me again from kidnappers..."

Hawk grinned, relaxing on his hands. "Yeah, for some reason they like your weird butt."

Harry rolled his eyes. There was just one more thing he had to know before changing his mind. He jumped to his feet and ran from the nursery, stopping at the top of the stairs. "Quatre! Trowa!"

He waited as he heard the two get up and enter the hall. Quatre was frowning up at him. "Now what? You two need to stop yelling, you'll wake the babies!"

"Quatre, would you two still love Lulu is she were a witch?"

Trowa and Quatre traded confused looks. "Of course we would, Harry."

"She's our daughter. We'll love her no matter what she is," Trowa added.

Harry nodded, reassured, and turned to Hawk. "Okay."

"Okay what?"

"Okay, I'll go to school with you. You've convinced me. Heero and everyone won't replace me and will be right here waiting for me when I get back."

Hawk grinned while Quatre spoke from down below. "Is that what this is about?" he demanded, placing his hands on his hips. "You thought we would replace you with Lulu if you went off to school?"

Harry flushed and ducked down behind the railing.

Quatre sighed. "For goodness sake Harry, we love you! We don't care that you're a wizard, we're proud of it! A little confused and surprised... but still proud none the less." The blonde shook his head. "Hawk, your parents are ready to go. Please get your sister. Harry, get ready for bed, I'm sending Heero and Duo up to talk to you in a few minutes."

The boys ran off without a word. Hawk retrieved his sister and said goodbye happily. Harry quickly got ready for bed and waited in his room for Duo and Heero. He didn't wait long before they both came in, not bothering to knock.

"So Q-ball said you've made some sort of break through tonight," Duo grinned, ruffling his hair. Harry pouted at him and held his arms out to Heero. The teen obliged and lifted him from the floor, tossing him easily on the bed. Harry scrambled to the middle and crossed his legs, looking at them both seriously.

"I've decided I want to go to Hogwarts."

Duo hmm-ed and flopped on the bed while Heero sat.

"What changed your mind?"

"Well... we're not normal."

Both teens looked at him and Harry continued.

"We're not a normal family. We're full of terrorists and clowns and people who don't even exist!"
"Former terrorists," Duo corrected, amused.

"Well, Hawk made me realize tonight that none of you are normal, so why should I try so hard to be? My Aunt Petunia wanted me to be normal but I'm not. I'm a wizard." He looked at his brothers. "And you used to be Gundam Pilots. By trying to be normal, I'm actually making myself abnormal!"

Duo glanced at Heero who looked as lost as he did. He shrugged. "Well I'm not sure I get it kiddo, but if you're happy then we're happy."

"Are you sure you want to go?" Heero asked.

Harry nodded. "I want to know about my parents. I want to be like them. And who knows, maybe I'll even meet someone who knew them and knows about you, Heero."

Heero lifted an eyebrow before shrugging. He didn't particularly care about his parentage. He had found Harry and that was more than enough for him.

Duo reached out and ruffled Harry's hair. "Well kiddo, we had better respond officially to that school letter then. We've gotta pack a lot of fun into the next two weeks."

Harry nodded. "I'll be back every holiday and I'll write all the time!"

"Once a week," Heero ordered. Harry paused before grinning.

"Once a week! And don't worry about me getting into trouble, Hawk will be there for protection."

Duo rolled his eyes while Heero spoke. "That does not inspire confidence."

Harry laughed and launched himself at his brothers, hugging them as tightly as he could.

A/N: So I don't know how the story is going to go. I have a few things written and some ideas but... well, ideas don't make a story. But I really want to share the stuff I do have written so I'm posting it! Who knows, maybe if I get some super awesome reviews it'll Inspire me to write more! Lol (wink wink).

So here's the first chapter, let me know what you think everyone!
