Harry Potter and the Gryffindor Wannabe

(AN: Set after Deathly Hallows. This is after Voldemort is dead and they go back to Hogwarts for their last year and every one has to repeat their last year there because they really didn't learn anything good.)

Disclaimer: I do own any of the Harry Potter Characters only the ones I made up in various houses. I only own Alyssa, Raven, Ivy, and whoever else I make up. J.K. Rowling owns the original characters of Harry Potter…I might have a character or two that have died alive in this dimension.

Chapter 1: Unknown Truth Revealed...well sort of

Alyssa Smith sat across from her friends at the Gryffindor table. She had the greatest friends in the entire world, in her opinion.

Alyssa looked at Ron, he was a clown and he loved stuffing his face 'I wonder where he puts it all…' Lyssa then looked at Hermione and smiled again she was the bookworm and loved studying all the time, 'That girl never stops amazing me.' She looked from Ron who was stuffing his face to Hermione who was reading a book they both liked each other but they never admit it, 'I have to get them together somehow.' A grin spread across her face from ear to ear.

Next she looked at Ginny, Ron's little sister she was smart and she was a witch with a temper and can do a mean bat-boogey hex, 'I never want to get on her bad side.' She was a year younger from Alyssa, Hermione, Ron, and last but not least Harry. Her friend Harry Potter… Yes Harry Potter the most famous wizard ever!

A dreamy look came across her face she had liked him the moment she meet him. Not because he was famous but because he was sweet and different like her. Alyssa liked him as more than a friend she like-liked him maybe even loved him.

Flashback~

Alyssa Smith was at the zoo with her parents for the day, one sunny Saturday and the zoo was crowded. She had an ice cream earlier and now she was looking at all the animals in the exhibits. Alyssa did feel a bit bad for these animals, they were stuck behind bars and glass cages while people just stopped to stare at them for a few minutes before they got bored and moved to the next case.

After having lunch in the zoos restaurant they headed for the Reptile house, which was the nearest exhibit.

While her parents hung back to look at a python, Alyssa went over to a tank where a boy around her age was looking at a Boa Constrictor. He had a shock of messy black hair and bright green eyes and round glasses with duck-tape covering the bridge as if they had recently broken and were waiting to get a new pair.

Aly smiled to the boy and held out her hand for him to shake, "Hello. I'm Alyssa, what's your name?"

They boy looked a bit shocked to see that she was talking to him and hesitantly shook her hand wondering if someone had put her up to talking to him, "Hi…I'm Harry."

"Its nice to meet you Harry."

They shared a smile, Harry's small and hesitant and Alyssa's big and cheerful, before turning to look at the Boa who seemed to have woken up and stare at the two.

The snake did a remarkable thing; it winked to them. It actually winked. They looked to each other once more giving the other a look that said, Did it really just wink at us?

The snake jerked its head toward what Alyssa guessed was Harry's family. A big man without a neck and his son, who looked like a mini version of the man. The snake looked back to Harry and gave him a look, which Harry must've understood because he answered the snake.

"I know. It must be annoying."

Alyssa watched in amazement when the snake nodded its head, "Its as if the snake understands you."

"Its kind of cool," Harry said to her then to the snake he responded again, "Where do you come from anyway."

The snake looked to the sign and the read: Boa Constrictor, Brazil. Alyssa read on while Harry asked it another question only to find out the answer a few seconds before he did: This specimen was bred in captivity.

As Harry started talking to the snake again Alyssa heard quick heavy footsteps of the pudgy boy just before he knocked Harry aside causing both Alyssa and Harry to fall and crash to the ground as the boy yelled, "MUM! DAD! COME LOOK AT THE SNAKE! YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT ITS DOING!"

"Ow! That hurt you dumb rude oaf!" Alyssa said angrily as Harry glared at the boy.

Just then the glass that the boy was leaning against dissolved into nothing and the small fat boy fell into the tank as the snake took the chance and slithered out of the tank and onto the floor in front of Harry and Alyssa.

Alyssa was a bit afraid when the snake slithered between them and looked to them both before slithering off. As it left she heard it hiss and Harry answered it with an "Anytime."

They stared after the snake that caused a little mayhem as it slithered out of the Reptile House.

A while later the zoo director had Harry's family and hers in his office and made Alyssa's mother, Julia, and Harry's aunt, Petunia, some tea as he apologized every few moments.

Alyssa couldn't help but notice Harry's uncle glaring at Harry as if it were his fault. It wasn't anyone's fault if anything it was the pudgy boy, Dudley, who started everything. Alyssa guessed that the glass must have fallen into the exhibit when he leaned on it.

"Excuse me sir, you don't have to apologize anymore. It wasn't anyone's fault. The only person who should apologize is that boy. He so rudely pushed Harry and I to the floor without a second thought. I have never seen such awful behavior from a boy his age," Alyssa spoke up. As she had said that though she had noticed Harry's Uncle become a bit purple in the face as he now glared at her.

"Now listen here little girl. Do not insult my Dudley. Now you shall apologize to him for being so impolite and lying at once."

Alyssa crossed her arms and sneered to the man, "I shall not do anything sir for I am not lying. I am in fact telling the truth. Right Harry." She looked to Harry to see him look down at his shoes. Alyssa had gotten the impression that he was afraid of his Uncle. Before his Uncle could speak again she continued, "You should be ashamed of yourself. Letting your son be so horrid to others and coddling him as if it's a good thing when in fact you should be reprimanding him. Learn to teach your son better manners and to know when he is in the wrong. He should learn a thing or two from Harry. He seems to be the only one in your family with his head on strait."

Mr. Dursley seemed to be turning a darker shade of purple as a ten-year-old girl was reprimanding him, a supposedly grown and, very, pudgy man.

At the moment, since Alyssa was so angry, she thought the man's hair should match his face. After the thought crossed her mind Vernon's hair went from bright blond to a light purple.

The zoo director stared in shock at Mr. Dursley's hair while Alyssa, Harry, and Dudley laughed at him. Mrs. Dursley stared in horror at her husband and then to Harry thinking he had done it. Alyssa's parents covered their mouths as their shoulders shook with their held in laughter.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Why don't y-you loo-k-k in the mi-rr-or si-sir," Alyssa managed to get out in between her fits of laughter.

When he did he let out a yelp of horror before turning on Harry. He looked as if he was about to hit him before he remembered where he was. "Come alone Petunia, Dudley. We are leaving."

Alyssa smiled to Harry sadly and hugged him quickly, "Bye Harry. We'll see each other again. I can feel it."

"Bye Alyssa." Was all Harry managed to get out before his Uncle yanked him by the arm out of the room.

"Hurry up boy!"

Little did either of them know that they were going to see each other again or how and where they would.

End Flashback~

Alyssa looked around the Great Hall and smiled everything about this school she loved… well almost everything. Aly looked over at the Slytherin table and shook her head. They were the worst people ever.

Alyssa sighed and played with her food. Everything was fine before this morning. Voldemort was dead and without any more horcrux's there was a guarantee that he was never coming back. Everything was perfect until she opened that letter she had received from her parents.

Harry was the first to notice something was wrong, "What's the matter Aly?"

Alyssa looked up at him and smiled, "It's nothing…" She took one look at those soft green eyes that made her heart melt. "Well… my parents told me that I-I…"

Harry looked at her and so did the others even Ron (even if he was still eating) giving her their full attention. "Go on. We're listening Aly."

Alyssa smiled weakly at Harry again then looked down at her plate and continued, "My parents told me that I was adopted."

Ron dropped his food in shock, "So you don't know who your real parents are?"

Alyssa shook her head and burst into tears as Harry reached over the table and wiped her checks then took her hand, secretly longing to hug her, "It's alright Aly. You'll find your parents I know it."

Aly gave Harry a small smile, felling the blood rising to her cheeks, when he squeezed her hand, "But what if they are dead… or worse they didn't want me."

Ginny hugged Alyssa while Hermione patted her back. Ron got up from the edge of the Gryffindor table and walked around the edge to hug her. Harry did the same, his hug lasted the longest and they both blushed when they let go of one other.

"Guys there's something else."

Hermione looked at her with her head cocked to one side, "What is it?"

Alyssa looked at them, "According to my parents in the letter, they said that I'm a pureblood and I have a brother who goes to Hogwarts as well."

Ron smiled cheerfully, "Well that's good maybe you know him."

Alyssa shook her head, "He's in the same year as us. It might not be good if I already know him."

Ron looked confused, "And it's a bad thing because?"

Aly rolled her eyes, "Because what if he is in Slytherin?"

Each of them nodded in understanding.

"So if I do find out who my real parents and brother are and he's in Slytherin and especially if it's Malfoy's," Alyssa shuddered visibly, "Do you guys promise to still be my friends?"

They all nodded vigorously to her and Harry spoke up, "Of course! Even if it is a git like Malfoy we will always be your friends."

Aly smiled warmly to him, that same smile that always seemed to make his melt when he saw it.

Ron agreed with Harry, "Harry's right we will always be you friends! Besides there's no way you could be related to Malfoy you're to caring and warm-hearted… while Malfoy is evil, cold and cruel."

Alyssa laughed, the words from Ron had certainly made her feel a bit better. "Thanks Ron. Thank you guys for being my friends."

They had a group hug squeezing Alyssa and Harry into the middle of it.

"Aww… look St. Potter and Weaselbee are having a group hug with their Mudblood girlfriends!" Some Slytherin's laughed at Draco Malfoy's joke, who reverted back to his old ways when the war was over.

Harry and Ron came to Hermione and Aly's defense, "SHUT UP MALFOY!"

Malfoy gave an arrogant sneer, "Or what? You'll make me eat slugs Weasel?"

Ron grew red with anger and Hermione had to stop him from doing anything stupid on their very last day at Hogwarts until next year. Alyssa grabbed hold of Harry's arm and pulled him away out of the Great Hall.

The next morning everyone woke up bright and early to finish packing their things in their trunks before they had to head to the train.

Alyssa and Hermione(both girls having finished their packing the night before) sat in the Gryffindor Common Room waiting for Harry and Ron to come down. Aly and Hermione were playing a game of "Yes or No."

"Do you like… Ron?" Alyssa finally asked and Hermione turned redder then a tomato.

"…Yes…"

Alyssa smile, "Awww….!"

"Shut up! Do you like Harry as more then a friend?"

Alyssa glared at Hermione and sighed, "Yes. I like Harry, a lot. So Sue me!"

Harry and Ron came down the stairs and Harry asked, "Sue you for what?"

Alyssa answered quickly answered before Hermione could, "Nothing!"

"Okay… so what are you guys doing this summer?" Ron asked Hermione and Alyssa. Alyssa shrugged and so did Hermione.

Aly spoke again, "I'll just wing it." Harry, Ron, and Hermione nodded in agreement.

The train left Hogwarts grounds and Harry, Ron, Hermione and Alyssa waved good-bye to Hagrid before they settled down in their compartment.

"I already miss Hogwarts!" Aly exclaimed.

Harry smiled to Alyssa, "I know it feels so much like home."

Flashback~

Harry and Ron where about to go downstairs to the common room when they heard Alyssa ask Hermione if she liked Ron.

Ron grabbed Harry's arm and they lean against the wall to listen to the answer, "…Yes…"

Ron smiled and stayed to listen how she'll get Aly back. "Awww…!"

"Shut up! Do you like Harry as more than a friend?"

Harry now grabbed Ron's arm. There was a short pause then came Aly's response, "Yes I like Harry a lot! So Sue me!"

Harry and Ron quickly came down when she said, "Sue Me."

"Sue you for what?"

They looked to the two girls and Alyssa quickly answered before Hermione could utter a word, "Nothing!"

End Flashback~

Harry smiled when he replayed the memory in his mind. He looked at Alyssa who looked out the window at the glittering lake and the rest of the scenery. She didn't even notice the trolley come by so she could get herself chocolate cauldron cakes.

Harry got up and bought the cakes, a few chocolate frogs, and Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans. Harry sat down next to Alyssa and waved a cauldron cake in front of her face. Aly looked at the cake and snatched it from Harry before eating it.

Lyssa then smiled at Harry when she noticed he bought her the cakes, "Thanks Harry. You didn't to get me the cauldron cakes though."

Harry smiled and nodded, "I know but I wanted to."

Alyssa looked out the window quickly as her cheeked reddened, Why am I blushing so much?

The rest of the train ride they spoke of what they were doing probably going to do during the summer vacation, a little jokes back and forth and sometimes the still silence. In no time they arrived at Platform 9 ¾ in Kingscross Station.

The four friends walked towards the barrier with their trolleys. Alyssa went through with Harry and Ron went through with Hermione.

Aly sighed heavily, "I don't want to go home right now!" Her four friends, Ginny had just come up to them, nodded in agreement.

"Well maybe at the end of summer you two," Ron said indicating Hermione and Alyssa since Harry would already be staying at The Burrow, "can come over for the last week or two. What do you guys think about that?"

Alyssa and Hermione nodded excitedly.

"That is your greatest idea yet Ron!" Ginny added as they all laughed while Ron glared playfully at his sister before joining in on the laughter.

"Hey!"

Aly hugged Hermione, Ron, and Ginny when she saw her parents. Alyssa turned to Harry and smiled at him, "I'll see you at the end of the summer?"

Harry nodded, "Of course." He hugged her and kissed her on the check.

Aly blushed and smiled to her four friends, "I'll see you later!"

A month and a week later Alyssa was sleeping in her bed. She woke to a tapping noise on her window and saw Pig with a note from Harry and Ron.

Aly opened her window and Pig dropped a note and started fluttering around the room. Picking up the note she opened the piece of parchment and read it quickly:

Hey Alyssa,

The last two weeks of summer is when you and Hermione are coming to the Burrow. We can't wait to see you… Especially Harry! Oh and he says 'Hi.' By the way we are all going to buy our school books in Diagon Alley when you and Hermione get here.

Ron

Alyssa smiled to herself she couldn't wait to see her friends and go back to her second home. Alyssa quickly wrote back to Ron and gave Pig a snack then tied the note to his leg. She opened the window for Pig flew out. Aly got ready to take a nice long shower.

In a week I'll get to see Harry again.

She looked at her Broom and smiled. Just when she was about to go to the bathroom another owl flew into her room and dropped a letter from Hogwarts on her bed.

Aly opened the letter and read it:

Other Information:

Alyssa finished reading the letter and noticed there was still something in the envelope as she picked it up. Lyssa then pulled out a Head Girl badge and gasped.

"I'm head girl?" She squealed, placing the badge on her desk on top of her letter and went to take a shower.

Aly got dressed in a pair of ripped jeans and a blue shirt that said 'Fallen Angel' on front with angel wings drawn on the back. She walked down the back way stairs into the kitchen.

"Morning Mum."

Mrs. Smith looked up, "Oh. Good morning sweetheart. Your up."

Alyssa nodded and smiled, "I'm Head Girl!"

Mrs. Smith smiled, "That's great honey."

Aly looked around, "…Where's dad?"

As if on cue Mr. Smith walked into the room, "Oh good your up."

Alyssa hugged him and grabbed some cereal.

"Why don't you eat and come into the living room with your mother."

Aly nodded and ate her food quickly wondering why her father told her to go into the living room right after she ate.

What's going on? He looked a bit upset. Alyssa finished her breakfast and put her bowl and spoon into the sink before she walked out of the kitchen with her mom into the living room.

Upon entering she immediately pulled out her wand and pointed it at the person she loathed the most, next to Voldemort, and the last she would expect to see in her house…A muggle house at that…Draco Malfoy.
