Here's the first chapter of the rewrite of Hufflepuffs metamorphmagi.
This was beta'd by IcyDoom.
I dont own Harry Potter
Voldemort smirked to himself, with this his eternal reign was ensured. He shuddered slightly as he crossed the ward lines. Pettigrew was shaking in the doorway, "M-M-Master, I did as I was told. The Potters were summoned to an Order meeting. I'm watching the kids."
Voldemort scowled he wanted to kill the parents too, "Kids wormtail?! Why was I not informed there was more than one! Crucio." Wormtail collapsed screaming his head off. He released the spell and ascended the stairs. Opening the nursery, he grinned evilly as he saw the infant and raised his wand but hesitated when a three-year-old with black hair entered the room.
"I see...I knew uncle Wormy was acting weird." The boy said. Voldemort was stunned as he watched the boy's hair drop and change to a dull mousey brown.
"A metamorph eh? Too bad, your talents could be used greatly in my empire."
The three-year-old looked into the dark lords' eyes, "I only ask one thing. If you kill one of us, take me. I was born on the thirty first of July, he was born on the first. Take me in place of my brother."
Voldemort smirked, "I think I'll take both of you, avada kedavra!" his smile couldn't get wider as he watched the green spell connect with the boy's body. However, it was wiped away as he didnt feel the boy's soul depart. Then he watched in horror as the boy redirected the spell to him. His body was ripped to shreds and he watched in horror as his robes collapsed. "I'll get you back Potter!" With that he ran. Neither brother saw the rat grab the yew wand and run as one was unconscious and the other was crying as his cheek was cut by falling debris from the explosion.
Several cracks erupted from nowhere and a woman with fire red hair ran into the house, "my babies!"
James, Sirius, Remus, Andromeda who was holding her daughter Nymphadora, and Albus Dumbledore ran into the house after Lily. Upon entering the nursery, they saw a pile of robes and young Daniel crying his head off. Nymphadora gasped her hair turning bright yellow, "look mummy, he can change too!" After that comment everyone noticed that Harry was lying face down on the ground, his hair shifting so rapidly you couldn't keep up with the colors.
Lily was crying as she placed her ear over her eldest sons' heart. She gasped, "he's alive!"
Dumbledore wasn't paying any attention however as he had seen the deep cut on Daniel's face, "James my boy, I do believe that young Daniel here survived the killing curse and defeated Voldemort, we must keep him safe."
Lily was holding her eldest son close, "what about Harry?"
Dumbledore cast a diagnosis spell and his eyes widened, "well..." he was cut off as a massive wave of magic erupted and Harry screamed as the scar on his head split again and black gunk was spewed out. Dumbledore brushed his beard as he vanished the ink with a wave of his wand, he was strong enough to reject the soul shard before it infused itself with his own soul...no, Daniel can be the only one with strong magic. "well...I say we separate the two, Harry is bound to become jealous of his brothers fame. It may be best if he is sent to your sisters Lily."
A cry of outrage rang from everyone, "Albus, you can't do that! He's metamorph, just like Nymphadora! He can't fit in with muggles." Andromeda yelled.
"An easy fix my dear, simply seal his magic controlling the ability away." Again, the cry of outrage sounded, and he grew annoyed waving his wand he replaced tonight's memory with them all agreeing it was for the best and took the child.

Sirius was visiting his cousin, "I'm telling you Andi, there's something wrong with my memory. I don't believe we would've sent Harry off to Petunia's willingly. Especially when we figured out, he shared the ability with you daughter."
Andi sighed, "Sirius...it's been years, it doesn't matter now. This year he and Nymphadora will start school."
Sirius sighed, "yes. Yes, you're right. Plus, I'm teaching defense this year, so I'll get to see him."

An eleven-year-old boy awoke to pounding on his door, "up! Get up! Now!" He heard the door unlock to his little cupboard. He got up and ran a hand through his hair. Stumbling out of the cupboard he flinched anticipating what was next and sure enough a fat beefy hand grabbed his throat and slammed him into the wall.
"You think you can mess up Petunias shoes Freak?! Now I must get to work, you get no food, I'll be administering your punishment when I get home. I'd think you don't want to make it worse for you by not finishing your chores."
Harry hated the Dursley's for everything they had done to him, he hated his parents for that they had abandoned him. All he could feel was pain, loneliness and anger. He had such a deep anger for everyone that had made his life into a living hell that he would like nothing more than to see the world burn.
For the rest of the day Harry had to clean the dishes, dust the house, vacuum and ensure Dudley's room was spotless. He didn't know why his family made him do this, he also had to weed and mow the lawn and cook food. His younger cousin was just a toddler. By the time his uncle came along he would've trashed his room already. Little devil also caught on to his parent's hatred of him and whenever he broke a toy, he would point to him and he would be punished. How 6-year-old caused so much trouble for him, he'd never know. At least he got the chance to be rid of him while he went off to school. He used to have to go to school as well but the Dursley's didn't let him anymore as they wanted him to be like a private servant.
When the door was flung open and Dudley came running up the stairs and into his room, "Freak! Did you get our mail like you were supposed to?!" He just nodded and picked up the papers he had set on the kitchen counter. He grumbled and threw him in his cupboard. He only heard a scream.
"Vernon! Its them! They want him to go to that freak school!"
"Hmph, I say we send him Pet. He's just a pain in my ass and I will not pay for that freaks schooling! Let that freak sister of your pay for his schooling."
"Fine Vernon. As long as I never have to see him again."
"You won't Pet. The old man said after he goes to school, he would be able to go back to his parents. Besides, he doesn't start till the first of September, and I still have to punish him."
Harry got really happy hearing that he would leave the Dursley's, but he couldn't help it giving him a sour taste in his mouth at the mention of his parents though.

A week later a knock rang through the house and Vernon waddled over to the door, backhanding him in the process, "you missed a spot freak."
Opening the door, he smiled, "how may I help you?" He spotted a man who had grey eyes and long black hair dressed in a robe with an expensive looking ring on his finger standing next to an eleven-year-old girl with a pixie cut hair style in bubblegum pink.
"Hello Vernon, were here to Pick Harry up. It's time he came back to our world." Sirius said.
"Hmph, you lazy good for nothing freaks finally take responsibility for the freak huh. Fine."
Sirius and Tonks walked into the living room and waited only to scream when they saw Harry. He looked no older than five, was skin and bones and he had a bad limp on his leg, like something was broken. His hair was snow white and he didn't even look at them. "Harry?"
A confused and angered look crossed Harry's face. "So you guys are finally coming to take me back to my family that abandoned me for years, do you know what I have been through. I have suffered for years because you guys left me. Harry said with a bitter tone but he was still happy to get out of this hell hole.
Harry then started to tell the story of what he had gone though over the years. Sirius listened to Harry's life story and was shocked and disgusted over what the Dursley's had done to him. "You treated Harry like this all these years?! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Sirius yelled and Harry lightened up a little hearing that somebody cared about him.
"Hah, like you or that freak sister of ours is to blame, you all abandoned him to us. He worked his keep."
Sirius growled and sent off a Patronus message. Less than fifteen minutes later his wife came and took one look at the Potter heir, "Vernon and Petunia Dursley, you are under arrest for child abuse."
"Who are you to say that to us freak?!" Vernon was turning a nasty shade of purple.
"My name is Amelia Black. Head of the DMLE that our police force." She flicked her wand and both adult Dursleys were frozen in place. Another man grabbed the child and placed portkeys on them and vanished. "Sirius love, take him to the Hospital. He's going to need it."

James potter and his wife Lily were running through the hospital after hearing of the return of their son. Opening the door, they saw their son and the huge scars on his back and where terrified at what they were seeing
"My baby!" Lily ran in and kneeled next to her eldest. "How could Petunia do this to you Harry?!"
Sirius sighed, "he doesn't know that name Lils, he's only been called freak or boy his whole life."
Lily was brought to tears, "James, how could we let this happen?"
The healer spoke up, "well. First it might be easier to heal him if we can unseal his magic, there is a powerful block on it. But as for you, I'd say it was the memory alteration. We have specialized wards set up for detecting false memories, and the moment you all walked in, it's been going off. But there was one other thing, it seem that your son is elemental so I would recommend going through a ritual to activate his powers.
"What Harry is an elemental? Lily asked with a very surprised tone.
"Yes, mister Potter is an elemental of water and ice." The healer replied.
"So where can we do this ritual? James asked.
"We can do it here at st Mongo's though it may take awhile, it's been a long time since we've had to do it."

On the 26 of August Harry was released from the hospital. He had spent the entire month recovering from malnourishment and mental issues. A nice girl named Evelyn Greengrass came and talked to him. She talked to him about the way he was treated and how it wasn't ok. By the time he was released, he still had a long way to go but he was making great progress. Today the lady he had been told was his mum came to pick him up with his dad and little brother. All of them introducing a little bundle containing a red headed girl with hazel brown eyes. It would seem Harry was the only one to take after his dad in spades. He had the same bird's nest hair and looks. His brother and sister both had red hair and his little brother had emerald green eyes.

During his time at the hospital Harry had started to warm up to his family and he no longer hated them as much, but he didn't trust them either. He was also told about his metamorphagus and elemental powers. He was asked if he wanted to do a ritual to activate his powers and he gladly accepted. Today was the day he was going to do the ritual. The ritual consisted of him laying down in a very special type of water for three days.
When he entered the water, he closed his eyes but when he opened them again, he realized that he wasn't at the hospital anymore. He stood on an island surrounded by ice and water, but before him stood a beautiful woman with brown hair and icy blue eyes. "Shall we get started love? the woman said.
Time skip to three days later
Every day in the real world was a year for Harry. By the end of the ritual he had fully mastered his powers and had gotten a mysterious phoenix tattoo on his back. When he got out of the water, he got hugged by his mother and by the rest of his family.
After the reunion he was led to a relaxation room where he spent the next day recovering.

The day after Harry had recovered from his ritual, the Potter family was going to the Diagon ally to shop for school supplies.
Time skip to Diagon alley
For the next few hours they shopped around, getting Harry a new wardrobe and ensuring he was stocked up on books. Lily had a few tears in her eyes when she noticed that Harry drifted towards charms and potions books, "Harry, does charms and Potions sound nice to you?"
Silver met emerald green in a monotonous voice he answered, "yes. I do like the looks of them, can't wait till I see it in action."
Lily smiled, "well, I'm a potions mistress and a charms master, if you ever need help just owl mummy." Harry couldn't fight the heat that rose to his cheeks.

"Ah, Mr. Potter. I've been expecting you." Ollivander seemed to materialize out of nowhere causing the the whole family, bar Harry, to jump in surprise.
"Hello." Was all Harry said.
Olivander blinked in surprise, it had been a very long time since someone not only wasnt surprised by his entrance but wasn't feeling awkward with him, even his parents shifted from foot to foot.
Seemingly drifting over to shelves he said, "it seems like only yesterday that both of you, James and Lily, came in for your first wands. Willow and phoenix feather for you Mrs. Potter. Particularly good for charms. And an 11-inch mahogany and dragon heartstring, particularly good for transfiguration. I'm intrigued about what your children will be." Dozens of wands later Olivander had a wide smile, "tricky customer eh. Hmmm...I wonder." He grabbed a box pulling out a wand "here, holly and phoenix feather."
Before Harry could grab it little Rose squirmed and opened her eyes looking around, "Hawwy?" The Potters all gasped.
Babump
Harry's heart skipped a beat as he grabbed the wand. "Her first words!" Lily cooed.
James was sulking though, "both Harry and Daniel said mama first. I was hoping Rose would say dada first, but no. She says her oldest brothers name first." Lily just smirked at him.
Harry felt a warmth in his chest as he waved the wand, only to be snatched away instantly, "no, no definitely not. I do wonder though." Walking into the back he pulled out a box caked with dust, "here, try this one." Harry grabbed the wand and felt a rush of warmth permeating from his hand, with a wave of the wand a flock of birds appeared from nowhere and unknown to him his hair was rapidly changing color. Olivander was practically bouncing, "oh! I was wondering when I would sell one of my special wands again. This wand is thirteen inches and made with a fusion of changeling tree and an elder tree. A changeling tree will only choose a metamorphmagus and an elder tree speaks to much potential."
"What's the core?" Lily asked.
"A combination of Thestral hair, a donation of the only other metamorphmagi around and the heartstring of a leviathan I once met in my travels. This wand is one of my greatest masterpieces, i designed it to potentially surpass the elder wand of legend. I think it's safe to say that we can expect great things from you Mr. Potter."

After they had gone to Olivander's the Potter family was just walking around when suddenly Harry felt a mysterious pull towards a rock sitting outside a animal shop. When he touched the rock it cracked and it started to pour out liquid, and then a majestic water phoenix came flying out of the rock and landed on Harry's shoulder. For some reason didn't Harry get scared by the bird he just felt some weird connection to it.
"Baby that is a water phoenix the rarest type of phoenix that exists and it seems to have bonded with you." Lilly said
Harry just nodded and rubbed his new companion under its beak.

Harry fell out of the fireplace onto platform 9 3/4 and gaped at the red train.
"Lily!" All the potters turned and saw Andromeda Tonks and her family. Harry couldn't look away from the girl thar was around his age though and unknown to him his hair shifted to short and pink. She just smiled widely, "I knew it! I remember you!" she wrapped him in a hug. He stiffened for a second, which had not gone unnoticed by the Tonks.
"Better get on the train before it leave children." Ted said with a smile. Nymphadora grabbed his hand and pulled him onto the train waving goodbye to their parents.
