A Mixed Up Destiny

Summary: Everyone thinks that Harry's twin Alex is the BWL. Tired of being neglected Harry runs away. Meanwhile Fred and George tired of being ignored runaway too and Neville tired of not being able to be himself runs away too. Dumbledore bashing, Weasley bashing, Potter bashing.

CHAPTER 1

Harry Potter was sick and tired of it all. He was tired of being ignored, tired of his parents acting like he was worthless and he was ESPECIALLY tired of his brother Alex's constant bullying! Just because he was the Boy Who Lived his parents let Alex get away with everything! It was totally unfair.

Harry was sitting on a bench in the back garden. It was his and Alex's eight birthday today (July 31st) but of course everyone was ignoring Harry and spoiling Alex. Well except for Sirius and Remus. But after only five minutes James, Harry's father, had dragged them off. Harry sighed wishing someone would notice him. And notice him someone did.

Two red haired twins walked over and sat down on either side of him, calm as anything "I'm Fred Weasley" said one twin "I'm George Weasley" said the other twin "Why are you sitting on your own?" they asked at the same time.

"I'm Harry Potter. And I'm sitting here because my parents are ignoring me. Today is my birthday too but they only pay attention to Alex" said Harry. The twins looked scandalized.

"But that's not right!" said Fred

"They should pay attention to you too!" said George "But we know how you feel. Our parents ignore us too- unless they're shouting at us for playing a prank. Our whole family ignores us except for Percy he's the only one that can tell us apart!"

"But it's easy to tell you apart" said Harry and he pointed at Fred "You're Fred" he said and then he pointed at George "And you're George!" The twins gaped at him "How can you tell?" they asked at the same time. Harry shrugged "George's eyes are a bit darker" he said. The twins looked at each other and their jaws dropped "Blimey he's right!" they said "And our mother can't even tell the difference" said Fred shaking his head.

Just then a little blonde boy walked up to them shyly "Can I sit here?" he asked "M-my name is Neville. Neville Longbottom." Fred, George and Harry nodded and the boy sat next to Fred.

"Are you okay?" asked Harry. Neville shook his head "No. My Gran has been spending the past hour telling me off for not being good at magic and comparing me to Alex Potter." Harry winced in sympathy "You think that's bad?" he asked "Try living with him! My name's Harry Potter."

"I'm Fred"

"And I'm George"

"But you can call us"

"Gred and Forge"

Neville smiled at them "At least someone gets it. I've been thinking of running away but Gran laughed when I told her that if she didn't stop being mean that I'd leave."

"We've been thinking of running away too" said Fred

"Me too" said Harry.

"Why don't we run away together? Now? While no-one can stop us? We can take the Floo to Neville's house and our house, take our things and leave!" said George. Fred, Harry and Neville nodded and went inside up to Harry's room. Harry took his toy dog and wolf (to remind him of Sirius and Remus) two books, his favourite clothes, his glasses case and put them in his blue back pack. The boys sneaked into the living room (which was empty as everyone was out the back or in the kitchen) took some Floo Powder shouted "Longbottom Manor!" and disappeared one after the other.

Neville ran upstairs grabbed some money, clothes and his favourite Herbology book, shoved them quickly in his red and gold back pack and ran downstairs to Fred, George and Harry. Then they went to the Burrow.

Fred and George walked up to their room on the second floor and put their favourite things in their second hand back packs "Do you think we should leave a note for Perce?" George asked. Fred nodded and grabbed a quill and some parchment.

Dear Percy

We are really sorry about this but we're leaving and we won't be coming back. We just can't take it anymore! No-one except you ever takes notice of us and Mum can't even tell us apart! We would have told you in person but you would have tried to stop us or you would have told on us and we can't have that. We might not ever see you again but we really hope that we do because we love you mate. Thanks for caring about us.

Love always-

Gred and Forge

They placed the note on Percy's pillow and walked downstairs. The four young boys nodded at each other saying more than words could and calmly walked outside, down the path, out of the village and disappeared from sight.

2 hours later...

Lily Potter was frantic. Harry was missing! Her son was missing! Where had he gone and more importantly WHY had he gone? She, James, Sirius and Remus had checked the entire neighbourhood but he was nowhere to be found. And to top it all off the Longbottom boy and the Weasley twins were missing too! What had happened to them?

The Weasley family were searching the Burrow for the twins. Bill had checked the attic, Charlie had checked the garden, Ginny and looked up all the trees as the twins liked climbing according to Percy, Arthur checked the village, Ron checked the river and Molly had even gone across the hill to ask Mr and Mrs Lovegood if they had seen Fred and George. Suddenly Percy came running downstairs crying but he was glaring at the family "Percy, honey what's wrong?" Molly asked placing a hand on his shoulder but Percy pulled away. He shoved a note into her hand and ran back to his room positively howling. Molly looked at the note and paled "A-Arthur" she said looking shocked. Arthur looked at the letter and gasped. The kids quickly crowded around them to read the letter too and a wave of grief washed over them all. Had the twins really felt like that? The answer was sadly obvious.

Augusta Longbottom was in tears. All the times Neville has threatened to run away she didn't think he actually meant it! And now he was gone. Why had she ever compared him to Alex Potter? Why didn't she just let him be himself? Now she had lost him. Probably forever.

Miles away Fred, George, Neville and Harry were in the woods looking for somewhere to rest "I can't believe we actually did it!" said Harry "I wonder if they've noticed yet?"

"If the party is over then they might have" said Neville.

"Poor Percy" said Fred "I hope he's not too upset."

"I just hope that he doesn't go into a huge rage" said George shuddering "Remember what happened last time? He set a tree on fire with accidental magic and made Bill's hair fall out!" Fred shrugged "It was funny though." They stopped. Right in front of them was a cabin. It looked old but it was in good condition. With a little work it would look really nice.

"Boys" said the twins "Why don't we stay here?"

A/N: Ta-daaaaa! What do you think? Bad? Good? Horrible? Brilliant? I need reviews people!
