Hey I'm Lucky Lex, the writer of this fanfiction. Here's a quick summary of what you need to know!

In this story, Lily and James are not killed by Voldemort and are able to raise their children. Unfortunately it turns out that they aren't the best of parents, ignoring him and leaving him to raise himself, in favour of his younger brother Lachlan, the Boy-Who-Lived. Harry had books and a soccer ball to keep him company during his childhood and as such, his already intelligent brain grew to the level of a genius. He's going to be sorted into Ravenclaw and his friends will be Roger Davis (ravenclaw), Cedric Diggory (hufflepuff) and a Slytherin OC. He'll be a prodigy at quidditch and his animagus will be a black cat, helping him a lot. He will also be witty and a bit of a Casanova (playboy). Him and his group of friends will also start a group called 'The Nightlords' with a hidden room to chill as well. I hope you enjoy?

Chapter 1: The Ignored Brother

"As a child , you would wait and watch from far away. But you always knew that you'd be the one who worked while they all play." - Warriors (Imagine Dragons)

A dark figure entered Godric's Hollow, glee evident on his face as he swiftly executed the young woman reading on the couch. According to his spy, the Potter boys should be up on the second floor. The figure entered the room and noticed the toddler sitting on the floor playing with a soccer ball, the muggle thing being there no doubt due to the filthy mudblood who was the boy's mother. Also in the room was a cot, containing the boy's brother Lachlan. The boy (who was named Harry), looked up as the figure entered the lit room. Staring him in the eyes, Harry said, "You're a bad man, get out." Voldemort stared right back hissing, "Insolent boy, you shall be the first to die!" As the green light emitted out of Voldemort's wand aiming for Harry, Harry whispered, "Bye bye bad man." And then the world went dark as the Potter's roof fell down.

An Hour Later

James and Lily apparated in, immediately running towards the house after seeing it's current state. Upon entering, they saw their babysitter lying on the floor, eyes closed and dead to the world. Fearing the worst, the pair walked up the stairs, towards the boys room. The whole room was covered by various debris and the parents doubted that their two sons could have survived. Until they heard crying from underneath a wooden plank. James quickly lifted it up and they were both reassured by what they saw. Their two boys, lying down, Lachlan was conscious whilst Harry was unconscious. Next to them was Voldemort's wand, which appeared to have been abandoned by the snake. Unsure of what to do, the pair decided to turn towards the only person who would know what to do, Albus Dumbledore.

Inside Dumbledore's Office

The door to Dumbledore's Office flew open as James, Lily and their two sons strolled in with uncertainty evident on their faces. Dumbledore looked up from the piece of paper he was currently scanning and smiled at the pair, ignoring their sudden intrusion. Smiling at them he said, "What can I help you with on this pleasant evening?" James and Lily looked at each other before James spoke up and said, "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named attacked our house and killed our babysitter Matilda Mayru, but for some reason he didn't kill our boys. Lily then pulled out his wand, gave it to Dumbledore and said,"We believe him to be dead and that one of our two boys was responsible. We thought that you would know what to do."

Dumbledore studied the wand before stating,"I have a good idea as to what happened but before I tell you, allow me to look at your two boys." James and Lily presented the two boys and Dumbledore looked down at them, nodding.

Dumbledore wasn't stupid, he knew that Voldemort had horcruxes and he had a plan to destroy him and also better himself. But Dumbledore was at a crucial point in his plans. Which one to name as the defeater of Voldemort and gift with a life of fame? Which one to be sacrificed in order for him to better himself? Lachlan was younger with an average magical core. He could be easily molded into the human sacrifice he was looking for as he had yet to develop a semblance of a personality. Harry on the other hand, had a magical core of a prodigious level and his personality had already begun to show. He would be much harder to mold and there was always the chance that with his magical core, he could actually defeat Voldemort.

Looking at them closer Dumbledore saw that Lachlan had a scar on his hand, shaped in a V for Voldemort. His twin however, bore no scar or sign of his involvement in his demise. Therefore despite the signs that Harry would be more powerful, Lachlan was clearly the one mentioned in the prophecy. Making up his mind, he turned towards the Potters telling them his decision. "I am not quite sure whether Voldemort is alive or not, but I am certain that Lachlan has vanquished Voldemort and somehow survived the killing curse. He is destined for greatness."

The Potter parents looked at each other, smiling before running over to pick up Lachlan and hug him. Dumbledore then said, "I'd recommend for you guys to rest in the hospital wing for a while, today has been a hard day for everyone and I'm sure you'll want to be feeling your best for the celebrations that are sure to happen tomorrow."

"We'll do just that," James replied. He then started to leave the room with Lily and Lachlan forgetting all about his oldest. Dumbledore watched them leave before turning around and realizing that they had left Harry. Picking him up and running towards them as fast as his legs would carry him he shouted at James,"Wait! You left Harry behind..."

The happy family turned around before James said,"Oh yea..."

AN: Thanks for reading the first chapter of this hopefully long story. I'm currently looking for some good non-slash fanfics so if you feel like recommending one to me please tell me in a review or PM!

Also as for there little group 'The Nightlords' if anybody has any suggestions for a new name as please tell.

I'm also going to be adding a Slytherin OC to the story (don't worry, he will most likely be the only OC in the story and I'll be developing him a lot). Suggestions for his name, personality, likes, talents, skills etc. would be appreciated.

I'm hoping to get my readers involved in this fanfiction and it's story so please do just that and get involved. Have a good day and stay tuned!
