Disclaimer: Blah blah blah, not mine, blah blah, J.K. Rowling… bottom line, I own nothing.

Albus Dumbledore had just set young Harry Potter down on the doorstep of Number 4 Privet Drive, setting reality do that Harry would be raised with too many worries, and too few friend. Setting reality such that, the young Boy-Who-Lived would be a timid and abused child, who almost refused to enter the wizarding world because his relatives would try and beat it out of him. Setting up a reality where the Boy-Who-Lived would have to die.

But then… Reality changed.

Suddenly, the Wizarding World new of not one, but two Potter brothers.

Suddenly, they knew that Albus Dumbledore was protecting twins by placing them with their Muggle relatives.

Suddenly, Albus Dumbledore now knew that he had instructed Petunia Dursley to raise one Harry Potter, and one Michael Potter.

Suddenly, Harry Potter now knew, instinctively, that he was now lying next to his brother on this cold night, and that he was not alone in this world.

And possibly the most important change of all, young Michael Emrys Potter settled down in his swaddle for a very long sleep.

Author Notes: Short chapter, I know. For those of you who are reading, I included a clue in this chapter as to what Michael Potter's destiny would be. Not very subtle, I know, but it's a clue.
