Salty Crew Chapter One - Origins


brr brr brr

Privet Drive, Surrey, England


Jack and Amanda Coorson were driving to their new home in England with their son in the backseat.

The family had come to England to raise their son after some events in the States had practically forced them to move to a new place.

They didn't know how the next couple of years would work out, but all they wanted was to provide a good life for their son.


Jack Coorson was a man from San Diego, born and raised on the beach nearby. Jack was a surfer and generally very lazy.

Despite having no plans to do anything with his life other than surfing, his Dad, while a laid back man himself, was in the military.

He was stationed nearby at the naval base in the harbor, and sometimes brought Jack on the weekends.

Over time, the base and his dad had an effect on Jack, and compelled it him to apply to get into a military academy.

He was accepted into West Point, and became one of the best cadets in the School's history. After graduation, Jack was pulled from normal training to special operations, and from there became a Green Beret and performed black ops all over the world.


Amanda Coorson, aka Amanda Styles, was a woman who was born in New England to a dad from Boston and a Mom from Ireland.

Amanda's parents divorced when she was 5, and she frequently when to and from Ireland and Boston to see both of her parents.

Amanda, while loving both of her parents, secretly despised her mom, who was caught cheating on her dad, and caused her parents to divorce.

So when she got an invite to West Point, she took it, as a way of 'revenge' towards her mother, as a way to be with her dad more. In her 2nd year, she saw Jack at a party off campus, and the two of them become a pair over time. Together, they went through various courses and rigorous training.

Jack proposed to her 3 years after graduation, and they were married 4 months later at an island paradise.

That night, in a luxurious villa, the two conceived a child, who was born 9 months later. They named him Derek.

Derek was extremely intelligent at a young age, and was surprising accurate at aiming anything at anyone with dead accuracy when he wanted something.

When Derek was about 2 and half years old, they moved to England.

When London didn't work out (the government thought they were spying on them, despite the US government denying this, so they were forced headed to elsewhere.

Eventually, they found a little town in Surrey with a house that wasn't to expensive and provided what they would need to raise Derek and maybe start a business.


*back to them driving*

After a night out as a family, the Coorsons saw a group strangely dressed people next to a house with a basket. Jack didn't have a good feeling about it, and decided to check it out.

As he walked up to them, the woman brought out a stick, but the older man told her to put it away.

"How may I help you, Mr.-?" said the old man. Jack decided on what he should say.

Should he use his real name? Maybe a fake name or an anagram or something similar to his name? A nickname? He decided in a second and replied,

"Jake,"

"Aw yes, Mr. Jake. Now, how can I help you?"

Jack said," Considering how late it is, and how your dressed, I wanted to see what's going on. My son and wife nearby and she was getting strange vibes from you two"

The woman, slightly angry, asked "Does it matter what we are -"

"Minerva, this man has asked us a fair question and he deserves an answer"

"But Albus!"

"Shh. Now, Mr. Jack, we are friends of the couple living here. We are just waiting for someone"

Jack, not exactly believing them, gave a simple okay and went back to the car.

"Amanda, when we get back, I want eyes on them while I get into a position to watch them. I don't think they are being honest with me".

"But what about Derek? He'll certainly waken up if he make a sound!"

"Put on those headphones on him. It will block out any noise and play soothing music"

Amanda put on the headphones on Derek, who then feel instantly asleep.

When they made the 15 second drive into their garage, Amanda put Derek in his bed and got her and Jack a pair of long-range snipers and a listening device.

Jack put on the listening device and lines up his scope at the older man's head from the living room facing them, with Amanda grabbing a camera with night vision and filming.


15 minutes later, Jack and Amanda heard a boom and then a motorcycle coming. They watched as the man on the motorcycle goes to the peculiar couple.

He handed them a basket with blankets on it.

"Amanda, I'm picking up something!"
-static-
"Here's baby Potter sir"

"Thank you Hagrid"

"It was horrible. The house was destroyed an' Lils and James were on da ground and oh oh"

The man then went into hysterics.

"It's okay, it's okay. You can go now, Hagrid. Get some sleep my friend".

"Okay sir".

The man on the motorcycle left with a bang.

"Albus, this is a horrible idea! They hate us, why would anyone leave someone like him here!?"

"It's for the Greater Good. And besides, they are his relatives. No one would abuse their relatives"

"I'm trusting you Albus".

The lady popped away.

"Good luck, Harry Potter".

By then, Derek somehow was next to Jack. Jack noticed Derek, smiled, and hugged him before asking Amanda to put him on the couch and stay with him.

The older man put the basket on the steps and popped away.

"Amanda, review the tapes, I want your opinion"

"Jack, you didn't plug in your earbuds. I heard the whole thing. I say grab him. It sounds like the old man is placing him in a bad place. Plus, he said the Greater Good..."

"I'll go grab him. Put Harry in his crib and grab the extra one. I think he'll be happy to see he has a new brother".


Jack went to the house 15 minutes later, after looking for the people who dropped off the baby. He then silently grabbed the basket with Harry, and quickly came back, not wanting for the group to come back and potentially harm him, his family, or the innocent baby in his hands.

Amanda got Derek back to sleep in his bed, and then she grabbed Harry from Jack's arms and put him in the other crib.

Jack and Amanda smiled, and the set the baby monitors on, and shut the door.

Try then went to their room an talked.

"I think they are magicals, Jack. I think Harry might be too".

"I think that's accurate Amanda. I mean, Derek's magical, and I think we are too, because I can now summon things nearby me ever since Derek was born".

"And I can fix things instantly too now. And see through walls and have outlines around people. It like x-ray, but without seeing the bones"

"Can you toggle yours? Like to a eye motion and it turns on and off?"

"Yea?"

"I think I can do the same thing"

"Wow!"

"Yea"

The two got into bed, and feel asleep, knowing that they now have a new child, a magical child literally.

What they didn't know was that single event would not only change their lives forever, but changed the entire intended course of the wizarding communities of the UK.


All right, here's some stuff about me.

Hugo de Manzana is a nickname I stole from my friend, who is named Hugo.

I'm in high school right now (Secondary School/College in the UK, idk)

This is my first story I'm doing on my free time in awhile, and I'm not DZ2, so don't (at first) expect this to be all great.

Hopefully I'll get there, one day…

As for some backstory on me, I've been on for about 5 years on various accounts. I've made maybe one or two shit fanfics (and surprisingly one of them got some traction), but never got that roll going that made me want to continue.

Now, I'm bored, and have 3 months to do whatever I want, so I decided to write a fanfic.


This is pretty much like a fanfic were normally Sirius would come in and raise Harry, but instead I replaced him with Jack, and Amanda. Derek is a year older than Harry, but will be in the same year as Harry, but acts like a teenager. Derek will be a primary influence on Harry, and will change Harry from the weak, canon style Harry to a realistic, strong young man with knowledge in places normally one wouldn't being said, I've always liked having Sirius taking care of Harry, so Sirius will still have a important role in Harry's life, but later on in the story. Remus will also have a role, but I feel his was more distant, despite having Harry pretty much becoming Teddy's dad.

Their will be bashing of Ron, Ginny, Molly, Percy, Dumbledore, and maybe some others. Hermione will not be paired with Ron and probably not Harry. Bill and Fleur will be friends, but didn't get that far. He will not be bashed.

Draco's and Snape's roles will depend on how the first two chapters turn out, but Derek will at first be very disrespectful to both of them for their views.

I will be skipping 2nd year, and parts of 3rd year for future reference. 6th year will be lightly touched on.


I NEED A BETA TO HELP MY ASS – PLEASE (if you want to) OFFER YOUR SERVICES OR RECOMMEND ME SOMEONE WHO IS WILLING TO HELP.


I aim on having a good portion of violence in this fanfic, and maybe lemons too, if I can find someone who can either write the lemons for me or help me.

This is not a slash story, but will contain some lesbian bits if I include lemons.


Certain electronics will be able to work with magic or in an area with a magical environment, since I practically live on on my iPhone, and it's my story.

Next chapter will be set 8-9 yars later in this timeline, around when Harry would get his Hogwarts letter. Flashbacks will occur to tell some bits of story within those years

Expect a chapter or two soon, because I'm on a roll. After that, no promises, but I'll try to keep on updating as much as I can.


Please review so I know how you all feel. I don't want to be writing all of this and have no one like it, because then I just wasted a shit load of time writing this for nothing when I could have been sleeping. Having others opinions helps me write in general, and considering this is a website where people actually read for enjoyment, I would like your opinions.

Thanks
