Chapitre Un

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"
Missing-----Evanescence, Anywhere But Home

Harry watched as his mother, Lily, embraced James, his twin brother and Boy-Who-Lived. James was the perfect son. He was believed to be brave, caring and responsible. The model student, of course, and also had the perfect girlfriend, Ginny Weasley. Not that Harry cared about the last part, but the rest was a whopping pile of bull shit.

Harry was the one who excelled in his studies. He was the one who got named Head Boy, he was the one who got accepted to any wizarding university of his choice. But nobody cared! He tried his hardest to get noticed. To be known as something other than the look alike of the savior of the wizarding world. But no. Not even his parents cared. In fact, when he got his letter congratulating him on becoming Head Boy, his father sneered at him disgustedly and told him that his brother was the one who deserved it. That Harry pulled a trick on his brother so his chances would increase of recieving it.

And though Harry told himself, over and over, that he didn't care, he didn't believe it. The truth was, he would trade anything for his parent's approval.

As Harry watched the scene of his mother and brother when he exited the Hogwart's Express, he couldn't help but feel loathing for his brother. The only highlight of his days at Hogwarts were those days the Slytherins and Gryffindors were in Potions. There, Snape announced every truth about James. Snape never made a nasty comment about him. One, because he was his best student and two, because Snape wouldn't demean his own house.

James Potter Sr. appeared on the platform and joined the little scene.

Harry rolled his eyes.

It was probably another publicity stunt.

Harry was about to announce his presence, but just before he did, James Potter Sr. spoke. "Are we forgetting anything?" He asked Lily and his twin. Lily rolled her eyes. "Of course not, we already have James and his trunk, as well as Hedwig. Lets just leave."

James kissed his wife's cheek and patted James Jr. on the back. And with that, they stepped into the pillar, forgetting all about Harry.
