A/N. I know I should be working on my other story 'Demon who lived' but I needed to do this since there are not many of these out there. In fact, I have found only one, and in that Near was a girl. It was finished and I wanted to see how this went. I mean no offence to the author of this story I loved it but I felt that I needed to see how far I could take this plot line.

July 31 1980

Lily Potter tried hard not to scream as she gave birth. How did other women make it look so easy? You see Lily was nine months pregnant with twins. Earlier that day around 7:00 am, she had gone into labor. She had been there for hours as it was now around 8:57 pm. Her husband James was standing next to her holding her hand saying encouraging words to her. In rage and pain, she grabbed the man's shirt collar.

"You bloody arse I'm going to bloody kill your for this! If I don't die right now I swear I will make your life a living hell!" She screamed at him. Terror filled James Potter's eyes as he tried to get out of his angry wife's iron grip. The nurse finally announced the arrival of a healthy baby boy. Both Lily and James smiled as the nurse gave the child to James. The boy had black messy hair and hazel eyes like his father.

Then the second baby came. He came around 11:59 only seconds before midnight. He had snowy white hair and dark almost black eyes. James and Lily looked at each other in concern. None of the family members that they knew of looked anything like this child.

"What's wrong with him is he an albino?" Lily asked the nurse. She lived in the muggle world where it was more common to have this condition as it was even rarer in the magical realm.

"No not according to the readings they would give any conditions that they had." The nurse said taking out two birth certificates. Shrugging James and Lily gave their son's names.

July 31 1985

Four years ago on All Hallows Eve, the Lord Voldemort attacked the Potter home. The parents were not home that night but Lily's sister Petunia who had made amends with the woman was watching the twins that day. She was killed the moment that Voldemort had entered the home. After he killed Petunia he attempted to kill the twins but for some reason he could not.

Dumbledore said that it was Alex who defeated him. But here is the real story.

*Flashbacky ripple thingy*

Lord Voldemort stared at the two boys sitting in the crib in front of him. The one with black hair did not interest him very much. But the one with white hair disturbed him. His dark gray eyes stared at him in not fear but like someone who was trying to figure out a very difficult puzzle. Voldemort cast a spell that calculated a child's magical potential. The reading: 85%.

'Holy Capricorn! I need to do something about this.' Voldemort thought to himself. He knew a spell that would make someone practically a squib but it took a while to work.

"Magicae abiit" He said. The jet of bright orange light shot towards the one and a half year old. The light soon engulfed him and Harry Remus Potter was robbed of his magic. But that did not matter as he would become more powerful.

*End Flashbacky thingy*

So that's what happened. After Voldemort cast the curse on Harry, he attempted to kill him but failed. No one knew which brother deflected the curse but today they were to find out. You see in old families like the Potters it is tradition that a child be tested on magical ability with an ancient spell. Anyway, I'm done explaining so back to the people.

James watched as his two five year old sons sat in the living room waiting for him to test their magic. He frowned as he watched them. He boys who would take after him but he only got one, Alex. Alex was a perfect model of him in every way shape and form. Harry however was the complete opposite not just in looks but in personality as well. Harry was quiet and hardly ever spoke and when he did, it was to answer a question which was short and blunt.

As James watched his sons, he couldn't help but pick apart the differences. Alex was hovering on a toy broomstick making whooping noises and yelling. Harry on the other hand was sitting on the floor his right leg bent behind him and the other hugged to his chest. He was solving a puzzle that was half white and half black.

The boy was strange to say the least. James shook his head to clear these thoughts about his youngest son and strode into the room.

"Okay boys are you ready?" He announced. Alex stopped and jumped off the broom. He landed right on Harry's puzzle destroying it. Harry's eyes widened but then schooled into an indifferent mask.

"Yeah I'm ready!" Alex said excited. A/N. I don't know if a five year old would have a kind of trouble speaking anymore but if they do I'm not gonna write it.

"Hmm, fine by me." Harry said shrugging as he stood. James took out his wand (Me: Not like that perverts) and pointed it at Alex.

"Okay so this won't hurt. Mensura!" A jet of purple light shot out to the boy and he let out a yelp of surprise. The purple light surrounding him turned green signaling an average power. "Okey so now it's Harry's turn. Mensura!" The purple light engulfed the white haired boy then glowed white saying no magic at all.

James gasped. There had not been a squib in the Potter family in centuries. "Harry do you know what that means? It means you don't have any magic." James looked at the child. Harry's face remained stern.

"Harry aren't you upset?"

"Not really no." He said monotonously.

"Why?" James asked shocked. With all the successful magical people out there, he would expect Harry to be devastated. The boy simply went back to his ruined puzzle and began to rebuild it.

"I can have so many other successful careers in the non-magical world." He was already half finished with the puzzle having memorized it the last time.

"Like what? What's better than being an Auror?" James asked disbelieving.

"A detective I suppose. I've been fallowing this detective that goes by the name of L. He seems like an interesting man. No one has ever seen him." Harry said not taking his eyes off the now finished puzzle. "Besides I'd make more money in Euros than I would in galleons." He now looked up at his father with large dark eyes that seemed to see straight through his soul.

"Really, that's nice." He turned away. He had to call Albus.
