Okay just to clarify, my friend told me what hell I would be going through if I continued AU: HP Sorcerer's Stone. And he's right. That would be hell. So I'm sorry if anyone actually liked that. This story is replacing it. It's kinda' similar, kinda' not. I am combining book 5 and 6 (Sorta') and 7. You'll just have to see how. The story starts the summer before Harry's sixth year. Also nobody sees Harry as the boy who lived. He isn't really famous. Not everyone knows him. Not even Ginny…

Summary: The night Lord Voldemort came to the Potters he vanished. Yet Harry still has the scar. James and Lilly survived. Harry met Ron and Hermione. Has had a good and happy life. But Dumbledore fears Riddle will one day return to finish what he started.

Something Different This Way Comes

The Meeting of Ron

"Alright you two be careful. And I shall see you at dinner." Lilly Potter said to her husband and son. She kissed both of them on the cheek.

"Ready Harry?" James Potter asked.

"Ready dad." Said Harry.

James and Harry walked to the fire place. They took their floo powder, through it down, while saying, "The Weasleys!" Green flames erupted and James and Harry disappeared.

James and Harry appeared in another fireplace. "Morning James." Arthur Weasley greeted.

"Morning Arthur." James said.

Then Molly Weasley came in. She hugged James. "How have you been?"

"Fine. Just fine. And you?" Said James.

"Great. And you Harry." Molly said looking at Harry.

"All well." Harry said.

Then Ginny Weasley, the youngest Weasley and daughter came running in. "James!" She cried. She jumped into his arms.

"Hey kiddo how are you?" James asked.

"I've been good. Ron stole and hid my jumper though." Ginny said making a face.

"Oh did he?" James said.

Ginny nodded.

"Well I guess I'll have to have a talk with him huh?" James said jokingly.

Ginny's eyes then moved down to Harry. "James who is that?" She asked.

"That's my son Harry." Said James.

"Hey how about we send Ginny and Harry up to Ron's room so the adults can talk." Said Molly.

"Excellent idea. Ginny take Harry upstairs to meet the boys." Arthur said.

James put Ginny down. "Come on Henry." Ginny said.

Ginny and Harry went upstairs to Ron's room. Ginny knocked then said, "Oi Ron. Open the door!"

The door opened and another redheaded boy stood there. "What the bloody hell do you want?" Ron asked. He apparently hadn't seen Harry yet.

"Ron this is Harold. Henry this is Ron." Ginny said. And with that she skipped away.

Ron was looking at Harry confused. "May I?" He asked referring to enter the room. "I shall explain."

The Meeting of Hermione

Harry, Ron, Fred, George, and Percy just passed through platforms nine and ten. They were getting seats on the Hogwarts express. Harry and Ron found their compartment. They were sitting and talking and then the compartment door opened.

"Um excuse me, do you mind if me and my friend take a seat here. Everywhere else is full." The girl said.

"Not at all." Said Harry.

Another girl came in after the first. She had dirty blonde hair while the other girl had brown hair.

"My name is Hermione Granger." The first girl said.

"And I am Luna Lovegood." Said the second girl.

"Um… I am Ron Weasley." Said Ron.

"Harry Potter." Harry said.

"Hmmm. Harry Potter? That name sounds familiar." Hermione said.

Present Day

BOOM!

"Bloody hell!" Ron shouted.

"Ron calm down. It was just thunder." Said Hermione.

BOOOOOOM!

Hermione yelped that time.

Just then, Harry came into Ron's room.

"Harry mate, when did you get here?" Ron asked.

"About ten minutes ago." Harry said. "I came in. Your mum and dad said hi. Fred and George said hi. Ginny glared at me. Percy said hi. Bill and Fleur said hi. And here I am."

"What's with you and Ginny anyway?" Hermione asked.

"I dunno. She just doesn't like me. So did you guys get your OWLs yet?" Harry said.

Ron and Hermione both nodded.

"I got an 'Outstanding' in Defense Against the Dark Arts." Said Harry.

"Me too." Said Hermione. "However I got and 'Exceeds Expectations' in Astronomy."

"Harry! Ron! Hermione!" Molly called downstairs.

The three stood up and set off downstairs.

"James and Lilly are coming over for dinner. So Harry, I want you in Ginny to peel potatoes. Ron, Hermione. I want you to cut some carrots. Fred and George. Dice peppers. Without magic." Molly instructed.

Harry's POV

I walked over to the big pile of potatoes. I picked up one of the peelers and then picked up a potato. Ginny did the same. "Fun huh?" I asked her.

"Yup fun. I get to spend two hours with you pealing potatoes. Yup fun." Ginny said.

"Why do you hate me so much?" I asked.

"I wouldn't say I hate you. But I just strongly dislike you." Said Ginny.

"Okay why do you dislike me?" I asked.

"Strongly. Remember that scar head. Strongly." She said patting me on the shoulder.

"Fine. Why do you strongly dislike me?" I asked slightly getting annoyed.

"You are a rude and arrogant git." She said.

"Ouch." I said. She laughed. She laughed.

"So are we friends?" I asked.

"I guess so scar head." She said punching me on the shoulder.

We finished pealing potatoes. And we sat and waited. We were first to finish. Because Ron and Hermione were to busy arguing. Fred and George were not dicing the peppers. They did maybe four.

"Ah good job." Mrs. Weasley said to me and Ginny. "Oh and those boys. Harry, Ginny would you finish dicing those peppers. And you two! Stop arguing."

So we walked over to the peppers and started to dice them. "What she making?" I asked.

"Oh some type of dish she likes to make on special occasions." Ginny said.

"My mom and dad are special occasions?" I asked.

"Well, I guess so." Ginny said.

About two hours later. Everything was ready for Mrs. Weasley to start dinner. She was almost finished when James and Lily popped in. "Afternoon." They said.

I was sitting in-between Ginny and Ron. "Hello Harry Potter you disappearing little man." Mum said.

Ginny, Ron, Fred, and George were laughing.

"Smells wonderful Molly." My dad said to Mrs. Weasley.

"Well it tastes better then it smells." Mrs. Weasley said.

"Or is it the other way around?" Fred and George said simultaneously.

Now everyone laughed but Mrs. Weasley.

When dinner was ready, I sat between Ron and Ginny again. Dinner was good. I love Mrs. Weasley's cooking it is absolutely awesome. When dinner was over I left with mum and dad.

Ginny's POV

Finally Harry was gone. He was getting annoying. And why did he have to sit by me? I went upstairs. And got ready for bed. Hermione's parents are in America for a week so she is staying with us. Well, actually me. She is sleeping in my room.

"You seem to be softening toward Harry." Hermione said.

I blushed. Why did I blush? "No I am not!" I defended.

"Okay if you say so."

"Ah what do you know?" I asked sarcastically.

"A lot." Was all Hermione said.

Alright that was the prologue. I guess. Chapter one up soon. I hope. And please review. Tell me if it's bad or good. Please. I don't care what you say just do it. Please.
