A/N: Quick description. In this world Harry has a fraternal twin brother, named Auron; the prophecy is a bit a different to incorporate the two. Its 2 months before they leave Hogwarts during their 7th year, the final battle has yet to occur. During the semester they have still been hunting down the horcruxes. Knowing that things are going to get even more difficult considering voldemort has caught on, they turn to other sources to help prepare themselves. Unfortunately for the group things take a very bad turn…
Chapter 1. Good bye Potter brothers
The prophecy
"The sons of Leo with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approach. Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... and the Dark Lord will mark them as his equal, they will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... only by their hands can the Dark Lord fall…for they cannot live so long as the Dark Lord exists... The sons of Leo with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies ..."
His otherwise handsome face was streaked by tears, sweat, dirt and blood. He showed no emotion, save apathy as his arms were pulled behind him. He felt the cold shackles close around his wrists as he was forcefully turned around, an auror's hand firmly gripping his upper arm, searching his pockets. When he was finished he spoke aloud "Captured" as the familiar tug of the portkey deposited them on the bottom floor of the ministry, he guided the boy to a holding cell as the gate clicked open on cue, before pushing him in. Stumbling forward, he regained his balance and moved to a wall resting against it as he slid to the floor, closing his eyes slowly. He felt the familiar sting of fresh tears pushing against his closed eyes as the warm tears made their way in a perfect line down his cheeks. How had this happened, was all he could think, how could this have happened?
(Around 4 hours earlier)
Dumbledore had called an emergency Order meeting. All personnel promptly arrived at his office, which was exceptionally easy for the members that currently resided at Hogwarts. Auron sat up from his Saturday nap, having made the decision to forgo a Hogsmead excursion. The second son of the Potter family made his way from the dorm room, skipping steps as he left. The common room was empty. He made his way to the entrance, before exiting and running up the hallways from the dungeons, taking steps two at time when possible. Unlike his twin, when given the choice of Gryffindor or Slytherin he had chosen Slytherin, even though now he regretted it, considering a majority of the people he associated with were actually house Gryffindor members.
As he approached the griffin marking the entrance to the headmasters, he was forced to stop and think…"Damn old man, always chooses some silly password. "He thought aloud.
"Strawberry Tart"
A young man's voice came from behind him. He turned to look into the dark green eyes of his brother. "What's this all about?" he asked. His own one green eye and one hazel eye mirroring his brothers concern, he was in fact Heterochromic, meaning that his eyes were two separate colors. Harry Potter was indeed his twin brother, being born only moments apart, but they were far from identical. While Harry had been born with the majority of their fathers features, save their mothers eyes, Auron had been born with a more subtle blend of the both, though one would say his features leaned more towards Lily Potter's nee Evans. But one could not doubt that the brothers were both excessively handsome in their own respect and their actions and mannerisms tended to mirror each other's. The biggest clue as to their genetic link was the scar on Harry's forehead and the scar that ran from Auron's right eyebrow to right underneath his left eye; they were the Scarred Brothers, the Potter Twins.
Harry came up behind him as the door slid open for them to enter, followed by Hermione, Ron, Ginny, the Twins, Tonks and a few others before he knocked on the headmasters door, entering without waiting for a response. Once they had all filed in and briefly said their hellos, Albus cleared his throat, bringing attention to him.
"Sorry for this last minute and impromptu meeting, but I have extremely urgent news Severus recently relayed to me." He began. "Today at 8:00 p.m. a contingent of 25 or so Death Eaters plan on moving against a minister official that openly supports our cause. I fear that having been so ardent in giving us aid that he is now being targeted due to his extremely close and sensitive involvement with me and through me the Order. Because of that I am asking that we show our gratitude for his fervent persistence, and do what we can to protect him. "
Most order members nodded in unison. A sudden clamor erupting before Dumbledore noted that it was generally agreed upon. "I did not fear that we would agree, I simply wanted to make the case, though with that being said, I believe we should all get prepared and meet on the Hogwarts grounds near the forbidden forest at 7 sharp."
Everyone agreed in unison, before leaving the Headmasters office to prepare. Auron had already left and was waiting at the opening to the stairway for his brother and closest friends. "Oi, its only 5:15, what are you guys going to do until then?" he asked.
"I'm going to get ready, I need to change out of these clothes and put something looser on if we're going to be fighting." Harry responded.
"Sounds like a plan, I was thinking you, me, and Hermione could go over a few things before we leave, so I was going to say we should meet in an empty class near my houses dorms, they are closer to the front door than Gryffindor." Auron asked, looking between the two as Ron had already begun ascending the stairs with his sister and the twins, who did not have the desire to go back to Diagon Alley just to apparate back.
"That's actually a good Idea." Hermione replied in confirmation.
"Okay, so 6:15, dungeons?" Harry asked.
"Yeah." Auron replied before turning around and heading back to his dorm.
All too soon it was 6:15 and he was standing in an empty class room. Idly he twirled his wand with his left hand and tapped a desk with his right hand knuckles, slowly looking up as his brother and Hermione finally made their way in. "No Ron?" he asked.
"He's caught up with his brothers, he's just going to meet us at the front door in a half hour or so." Hermione replied.
"Ok" Auron said.
Now Harry began "So I was thinking we could go over what we read from two nights ago. I think we might need those curses tonight, but I'm almost certain that people are going to notice that they are not the typical spells we use, so I was going to say we should hold off until they are absolutely necessary."
"What are you talking about?" Auron asked. "We all agreed that we need to learn this stuff because our training now and what we are learning is coming up pretty short. I'm going to use them regardless, who cares who sees, as long as we get the job done with as little casualties as possible.
Auron was a bit more of a hot head than his brother, which is why his brother and friends still thought he should have been sorted into Gryffindor considering his desire to simply face a threat head on.
"I don't think you should." Hermione pleaded.
And so it went on like this until they realized it was time to meet up. Before they left, Hermione and Harry finally got Auron to agree to use the curses and dark spells as a last measure.
It was five minutes to 7 pm as Auron and company made their way to the edge of the forest. "Wotcher, Potters." Tonks greeted them walking up to greet the brothers.
"Oi."Auron replied, smiling.
"Hello", Harry replied as Auron made his way through the group, greeting the Weasley family first before turning to the Auror's, shaking hands with Kingsley before Dumbledore made his way to the gathered Order.
"As we are all here I believe it is time we leave, come get your portkey, the activation word is bowtruckle, simply turn it when you are ready and it will take you directly to ministry official Velius Tripps home and back here. After they had all gathered their port keys, which actually looked like gold Oreos, Dumbledore instructed them to twist them and speak the password, before all the members of the order vanished without a sound, jerked into the inky night, before being spat out almost instantaneously. Auron hated the few seconds after portkeying.
Stashing the item in his robe pocket, he flicked his wrist, drawing his wand. The 13 ½ inch black thorn wand with a phoenix feather core glinted lightly, sparkling for a moment or two as Aurons obvious excitement released a small bit of magic that found its way out of the tip of his wand. He began to pace back and forth as Dumbledore and Moody quickly assigned them to different areas in groups. Harry was posted behind a gate with three other members, and one of the twins. Auron was sent across the street and two houses down with Charlie, Ron, Shachlebolt and Moony. Hermione was posted across the street as well with another group that consisted of the Weasley matriarch, patriarch, the other twin and Tonks. The others Dumbledore assigned to their respective spots before finally beginning their waiting game. Auron looked over a fence post and saw Ginny, he smiled at her. She shook her head and smiled back before vanishing behind the fence.
Auron sat quietly, drawing in the dirt for what seemed like forever before a faint pop caught his attention. His ears twitched before he turned around, everyone just as alert as him before that pop was joined by a resounding amount of pops as everyone in the order tensed. They were here. Dumbledore put his hand up; forestalling any attack as the Death Eaters silently crept through the eerily quiet street. They must have cast muffling charms on themselves because there feet didn't even make a sound. A few seconds to go, and Dumbledore's hand dropped.
It happened in a second as all the members sprang out, surprising the group of Death Eaters in a volley of spells, jinxes, and curses. Auron leapt over the fence, his hand weaving through the air like a tailor finishing a suit. He sprang and dove, twirled so quickly that the Death Eaters he faced were utterly surprised. The last time they had faced the Potter brothers, neither had been this good. For a brief second, he watched as Harry did the same. Smiling to himself he began a heartless volley of jinxes laced with dark curses, which surprised more than a few death eaters. He barely dodged a killing curse by diving behind a trash can. He took a few seconds to catch his breath before jumping out and beginning his mass duel. He extended his wand, reveling in his new found strength, before casting a bone breaking spell at an oblivious death eater, catching him in the neck. He turned around and scanned the foray…
It was sudden, the pain that ripped his head and face open as he fell to the ground. Tonks noticed and started running towards him as well as Kingsley. How he managed to hold on to his wand, he didn't know, all he could do was grunt and grip his head with both hands. "He's here." He finally sputtered looking up to see that other members had surrounded his brother as well. He didn't know from what direction, but he knew Voldemort was here. He gritted his teeth and stood up; swaying dangerously, as he finally saw the shadowy figure descending from the other side of the street. "Behind you." He screamed as the Dark Lord raised his wand, parrying all spells cast at him. The pain was reaching an explosive point. He could barely see as he moved through the crowd.
"Harry!" he yelled as he watched Harry stand up and turn to Voldemort, he was maintaining his faculties rather well as he turned to face the Dark Lord, Auron was intercepted by a few Death Eaters, but he didn't have to time to play, with a quick flourish of his wand and a twist of his hand he hand sent one flying, the other he took down after using Sectum Sempra, the other he simply wanted out of his way. "Arvada Kedavra!" he yelled, surprising every member in sight as the haunting green light, so similar to his one eye left his wand. The death eater fell to the side, devoid of breath. He turned around wildly, running to his brother. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched as Snape retreated from his brother's side. What the hell? He thought to himself as he turned full circle, he didn't even see Dumbledore. Where was everyone? He turned back around and sprinted down the street…
The world slowed down. Harry's wand flew through the air. Voldemort sneered down at Harry. Nothing he could do. Auron raised his wand, killing anyone in his way. They fell down like puppets cut from their strings. The green light echoed down the street. It was too late. A mad cackle and a high, screeching laugh echoed through the night before Voldemort raised his wand and pointed it into the sky. "Morsmordre" He had just enough time to catch the second Potters eye. A wicked smile crossing his pallid snake like face as he bowed, his eyes darting from him, to the crumpled form of his brother.
"You're next, my boy…" Voldemort sneered before signaling to what death eaters remained as he vanished in his cliché though somewhat impressive cloak of smoke and shadow.
Suddenly Auron felt tired as he slowly made his way to the figure on the ground. As he approached he dropped his wand, falling to his knees, turning his brother's face to him. His eyes were still open, though devoid of life, the beautiful emerald gaze had no twinkle, no gleam…it was like he was frozen. He couldn't stop staring even as the other members of the Order of the Phoenix began to converge on them. He could hear Hermione's scream of terror. He watched as Ron came by his side and fell to his knees too. He felt them surround him, but he wasn't really paying attention, even as the tears escaped his eyes and slowly made their way down his cheek and dropped softly on Harry's still face. He didn't notice the others crying as he rocked back and forth. It wasn't real. None of this was real; he was just having a terrible dream.
He felt a hand on his back, and a familiar voice slowly penetrated his senses. He jerked away, looking back at Dumbledore, his eyes screaming in fury; rage and sorrow disfiguring his face as he stared at the Headmaster. "Where were you?" he asked softly, turning back around to hold his brother. "WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU!" He screamed.
Nobody said anything, even as the authorities showed up. Everything happened so quickly. He was yanked up, but he put up a fight. He didn't understand was going on. Three Aurors held him in place. They were saying something…he looked at one of them and began screaming to let him go. As if it were natural, a sudden force seemed to escape him as the three Aurors were pushed away. A soft crackle in the air. They were on him again. One of them punched him in the stomach. That brought him back to his senses.
"Auron Potter. You are under arrest for the multiple uses of illicitly dark curses as well as the use of Unforgivable curses." The auror finished. Auron looked around, but nobody stood up for him, only Ginny and Tonks. Dumbledore did nothing, he simply shook his head. His eyes turned back to the alley as he saw Snape, the weasel simply turned to him with a very uncharacteristic smile before disapparating. There was nothing he could do and there was no one coming to his rescue.
His otherwise handsome face was streaked by tears, sweat, dirt and blood. He showed no emotion, save apathy as his arms were pulled behind him. He felt the cold shackles close around his wrists as he was forcefully turned around, an auror's hand firmly gripping his upper arm as he spoke aloud "Captured"
(Next Morning)
He was strapped down to a massive metal church. The dome of the room he was sitting in opened as he was lifted past the opening. As he had suspected, he was in the court room. Everyone fell silent as they looked at the once golden boy. Some sneered, as shook their head. Only those that knew the truth did nothing. He looked to his right, Rons eyes narrowed in disgust, Hermione couldn't even look him in the eye.
"Auron Ignotus Potter, this is a sentencing to discern your crimes from last night. You have been charged on multiple cases of murder, and the use of Unforgiveable curses. You have been ousted as a Dark Wizard young man, and your plans of upheaval have been laid to rest."
"What the fuck are you on about?" he yelled, noting the ministers surprised look.
"There is irrefutable evidence of your crimes. Not only that but your friends have testified to you avidly studying and gaining a deeper depth of knowledge in the dark arts. With that knowledge and all the evidence stacked against you, I am very glad to inform you that you will be spending the remainder of your life in Azkaban." He finished with a strike of his gavel. They had testified against him? Dark Wizard? What in the hell was going on? What had happened in the past 12 hours? As they unbound him from the chair, he was able to see his 'friends' one last time. Ron shaking his head accusingly, Hermione couldn't even look at him in the eye, she had lied, blatantly…she too had been studying the same stuff he did. Ginny and Tonks had tears streaming down their faces. The last person he caught a glimpse of was Dumbledore, who looked at him with no emotion at all before turning away and leaving the boy in the care of the Aurors.
"fuck you, fuck you, fuck you…none of you are alright, fuck you…" he said chuckling. He was on his way home now.
