Summary: So there was never a war. Voldemort never existed. Harry Potter was never famous. Several people never would life be like? Would same friendships be made? Would new ones occur?
CHAPTER 1: BIRTHDAYS
"Harry, wake up." Nothing. "It's time to get up." Still nothing. "Harry the party will be staring soon." Harry shot out of bed and ran to the bathroom down the hall. Lily Potter shook her head. Today was Harry's ninth birthday party. Harry ran back into the room, threw on a shirt and shorts, and bolted out the bedroom door. Lily followed.
Downstairs, a party was indeed being set up. Sirius Black was dancing around shooting spells to decorate the house with steamers. Remus Lupin was muttering under his breath, making balloons appear on the ceiling. Peter Pettigrew was setting the table with lots and lots of food and drinks. Harry's father, James Potter, was on his way back from practice with Puddlemere United. Lily went into the kitchen to finish the dessert.
"About time you woke up." Remus said smirking.
"What?"confused, Harry looked at the clock, and saw that it was already almost noon."Oh, well you guys kept me up last night with all the yelling, screaming, and laughing all night long. What were you guys doing?"
"Oh. Sirius stretched out, and smacked Remus in the face,"Peter started. "Then Remus smacked Sirius, who threw a pillow at Remus,"
"And I ducked, and it hit Peter, who took another one and threw it at Sirius, who dodged it, and it hit your mum." Remus explained.
"And then a mass pillow fight broke out."Sirius finished. Then the doorbell rang.
"Who is that? The party doesn't start for another half an hour." Lily muttered as she hurried to open the door. James stood there in the doorway. "Why did you ring the bell?"
"I, uh, forgot the house key." James muttered.
"Are you a wizard or not?" Lily said exasperated. In the living room, Remus, Sirius, Peter, and Harry were rolling on the floor laughing. Lily was trying to suppress a giggle. Then the fire glowed green and Alice and Neville stepped out. A second later, Frank Longbottom appeared in the fire.
"How are you Lily?" Alice asked her friend.
"I am great. How about you? Oh, and how are you Neville? Frank?" Lily exclaimed.
"We are great, thanks." Frank answered.
"Happy birthday Harry!" Neville exclaimed.
"Thanks." Harry replied."can you believe that we start Hogwarts in only two years?"
"I'm super excited!" Neville said. "Is Ron coming?"
"I think so."said Harry.
They all spent the next twenty minutes finishing the party set up. At 12:30, the fire glowed green, And Bill Weasley stepped out of the fire. Then Arthur Weasley appeared, then Charlie, Fred, George, And then Ron.
"Hey Ron!" Harry and Neville exclaimed at the same time.
"Hey Harry, Neville! Happy birthday Harry!" Ron said.
The fire glowed green again, and Molly and Ginny Weasley appeared in the fire.
"Hello Weasleys." Sirius said.
"Hello sirius." Arthur replied.
"How old are the kids now Molly?" Lily asked.
"Well Ginny is eight, Ron as you know is nine, Fred and George are eleven, starting their first year at Hogwarts, Percy is thirteen, starting his third year at Hogwarts, Charlie is sixteen, starting his sixth year, and Bill is seventeen, and will be finishing school this year. Head Boy too, mind you. Charlie is also a prefect this year." Molly explained.
Half an hour later, all of the guests appeared, including Lily's parents(Rose and Harold), James' parents(Dorea and Charlus), the Wood's(with their son Oliver, who is in his third year), and Andromeda and Ted Tonks, and their daughter Dora, with her and Remus' son Teddy.
They had a great time eating food, opening presents, and then Harry asked "Who wants to play Quidditch?" There was a murmur of agreement, and they all headed out. Neville,Alice, Frank, Lily, Rose, Harold, Molly, Arthur, Percy, , Remus, Peter, Andromeda, and Ted all sat on the grass, not wanting to play.
That left Harry, Ron, Fred, George, Charlie, Bill, Oliver, James, Sirius, Teddy, Mr. Wood, Dora, Ginny, and Charlus.
Team one was Harry as seeker, Ron as keeper, Fred and George as beaters, and James, Ginny, and Teddy as chasers.
Team two was Charlie as seeker, Oliver as keeper, Sirius and Charlus as beaters, and Dora, , and Bill as chasers.
To most people's surprise, Harry's team won. They smothered Charlie's team 320-120. All those watching were shocked at Harry's skill.
"I told you he would have my quidditch skills." James said proudly to lily.
"Actually dad, I think I have more skills than you." Harry said smirking.
"Aw look prongs, he has your modesty too!" Sirius said coming over to ruffle Harry and James' hair.
"Grr." Harry said and showed his teeth, as Sirius approached.
"Remus! Why have you been teaching Harry these bad werewolf habits! A Shame on you." Sirius grinned mischievously, jumped, and ruffled their hair.
Harry stood still, and screamed,"You touched my hair! Get over here Sirius now! I'm gonna kill you!" Chasing Sirius around the yard to everyone's amusement. When Harry finally got Sirius, he tackled him to the ground. Then Harry hung him by his ankle.
