Disclaimer: I have never owned Harry Potter and I never will. The only thing that is mine is my imagination and my ideas.
A/N: This is a pilot chapter, so I will probably take it down or leave it based on people's response to it.
Chapter 1
"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Potter you have two healthy little boys!" The St. Mungos Healer said to the two of them.
"Are they magical?" James Potter asked the woman.
"Is that really important right now Mr. Potter?" She asked the new father.
"Yes I want to know if my boys are magical or not." He told the healer. The healer looked uncomfortable.
"I'll be right back then Mr. Potter." The healer left the room and then came back five minutes later carrying two small babies. James was holding one with black hair and green eyes while Lily held the other one who had red hair and brown eyes.
"Name them." The healer told the two of them. Lily looked at her husband.
"He shall be called Logan Darius Potter." She said holding up the child in her arms.
"And he shall be called Harry James Potter." James said holding up the child in his arms.
"Good now Logan first them." She walked over to Logan who was fast asleep and waved her wand over him. Everyone held their breath. After five seconds, the number five floated above Logan's forehead. "Now Harry." The healer waved her wand over Harry. Once again, they waited and suddenly a number appeared over his head, but it wasn't what they were expecting.
The number over Harry's head was a zero. "What does this mean?" James asked the Healer. Lily was confused. Being a Muggleborn meant she knew nothing of the wizarding world so she kept quiet and waited.
"For your son Logan it means that he is a magical who has the ability to use magic. The number tells us how strong the child is. For Harry it means that he is a squib."
"Lily, James I have urgent news for the both of you!" Dumbledore said as he stumbled out of their fireplace.
Lily and James put their two sons Harry and Logan Potter on the ground to play while they talked to Dumbledore. "I have just learned of a prophecy that concerns one of your sons. It says that young Logan will defeat Voldemort."
"Are you sure that it is Logan?" Lily asked the renowned Headmaster.
"Of course he is. It can't be that filthy squib!" James said shooting the one-year-old Harry a dirty look.
Lily glared at James who did not try to look ashamed. "While I do not agree with James he is right it can't be Harry. It is Logan and we must do everything in our power to protect him.
The very next day Dumbledore put the house under a Fedilus and James and Lily made Peter Pettigrew the secret keeper.
Voldemort's Lair
"Master it has been done the Potter have made me their secret keeper."
"Very good Wormtail." Voldemort hissed. "We will wait however to see which of the children we need to kill.
"My Lord?" Peter asked. "Why wait Logan Potter is the clear choice."
Voldemort looked at Peter and shot a Crucio at him. "Never question me!" Voldemort shouted.
"No you can't ride on the broom!" James shouted at Harry. Logan was standing behind his father laughing at Harry. Lily was watching from the kitchen window.
"Why not?" Harry asked tears streaming down his face.
"Because you are a squib and squibs can't use magical objects." James tried to explain.
"But," James shouting cut him off.
"I said no you stupid little boy now get away from me!" He shouted at the top of his voice. Harry turned and ran into the house. Lily tried to stop him but he ignored her.
"James how could you say that to him?" She demanded from her husband as she stormed out of the kitchen.
"Bugger doesn't know when he's not wanted." James spat.
"He's your son show some more compassion."
"That!" He said pointing to the house, which Harry was in at the moment, "Is not my son. He can't be he's a squib."
"You didn't have to say it like that. He's just a child he doesn't understand why we treat him differently from Logan."
"Lily please I don't have time right now." James told his wife and turned away from her.
Harry ran to his hiding place, which was in the Library and cried until he could cry no more. He hated his father, mother and his brother. They all treated him differently because he was not magical.
His mother rarely spoke to him and when she did, it was not to show motherly love, it was to ask him to do something for her. His father yelled at him and favored Logan over him and Logan would always make fun of Harry for being a squib. He and Ron Weasley would always taunt Harry for not being able to use magic and no one would stop them.
The only people that truly cared for him was Sirius and Remus, but they all had problems to deal with so they could not always be with him. Harry, after crying for ten straight minutes got sat up and dried his face. He walked over to the window and looked through it.
He saw his brother and father flying and laughing. Harry's chest started to hurt. He backed away from the window. Harry made his way to the restricted section of the library in the Potter house. He began to browse the shelves for a book to read. Harry was very smart. Despite not having any magic, he still like it and started reading all about it. He knew a handful of spells and how they worked.
He saw a gold colored book, which had no title on the spine. He tried to pull it out but it would not budge. He grabbed the book next to it and yanked it off the shelf letting it drop to the floor. On the cover, there were no words just a small golden colored square. Harry ran his finger over it and a sudden urge to push this small gold square flared within him.
He pushed it and it sank into the book. Suddenly the floor began the move and Harry looked down to see the wood paneling on the floor was shifting.
Soon there was a large gap in the floor the size of a potions textbook (think of the size of your chemistry book.) Harry knelled and put his hand in and felt something heavy that he pulled out. It was a book.
Wiping the cover to remove the dust he saw the title read "Blood rituals" Curious Harry opened the book to the first page. It showed a man drawing a figure in his own blood. Under the pictures was a passage. The title of this ritual was called "Chimera".
Harry began reading the passage. "This ritual requires no magic, only blood. Using your blood you must have an intense hate within you, only then can you summon the dark creature known as Chimera to do your bidding."
Harry was only focused on one particular sentence. "Requires no magic" He became excited, and continued to read. The book had many other rituals but harry was focused on the first. He closed the book and began searching for another book, one of his favorites. "Fantastical Beasts and Where to Find Them" He pulled out the book and looked through the index.
Chimera page 665
He quickly turned to the page and began reading about Chimeras. They were rare and no one knew where they lived. Listed below the picture of the Chimera was the following.
Powers: Shape shifting
Shadow travel
Unknown
Magical Level (scale 1-10) Level unknown
"Other qualities of the Chimera are unknown as no one has every met one and lived."
Harry opened the Ritual book, saw that he needed blood, and speak the words that were in the book. He wanted to try. He reasoned that if it didn't need magic and it would get him some there would be no harm in using the ritual.
So he hid the books in his room before running into the kitchen. His brother was in the living room playing with some of his toys and he did not see his mother or father anywhere. So he went into the drawer and pulled out the sharpest knife he could find. "Harry what are you doing?" The voice asked from behind him.
He turned around slowly and hid the knife behind his back, he saw his mother looking at him. "N...N... Nothing." He stammered.
"What do you have behind your back?" She tried to grab his hand but he dodged her. "James!" She yelled and he came running into the room. "He's hiding something grab it!" She yelled.
James lunged at Harry and ripped the knife out of his hand. Lilly and James stared at it for a long time. Then James broke the silence. "You were going to kill him?" He looked at Harry. "Weren't you? You were going to kill my son?"
Harry tried to protest but not one of his parents heard them.
Lilly gasped aloud. In his mind, James saw Harry as a threat to Logan. So what happened was because of that thought. Neither Lilly nor Harry saw it coming. He raised the knife and brought it down.
There was no sound. Harry looked down at his shoulder and saw a long deep cut running from his left shoulder to his stomach. His mouth was open in a silent scream. Lily was in shock and James just stood there the knife hanging uselessly by his side.
Then the chaos began as the wound sprayed blood everywhere. Lilly screamed as Harry fell to the floor and James sprang into action. He picked Harry off the floor and looked at his wife. "Get Madam Pomfrey let no one know about this." He ran with Harry and tried to stop the bleeding.
Moments later Madam Pomfrey burst through Harry's bedroom door. She pushed James aside and began working on Harry. Lilly had taken Logan into their room and was holding him there crying.
After Half an hour Madam Pomfrey was done. "I would like to know how this happened?"
James looked at her thinking quickly. "He tried to use my wand and it backfired on him."
She brought the story and gave him instructions on what to do. The rest of the day James sat by Harry's bedside. He did a lot of thinking. If word of this got out to anyone, he would be screwed so he made the decision to get rid of Harry.
