Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters. All I own is the characters of Mayleene, Crystal, Raenef, and Erutis who will not show up for a couple more chapters.
A/N: This is an AU. There is no magic, and no Voldie. James, Lily, and Siri are alive but Peter is dead. Another character is dead, but that will not be revealed for another chapter. Also, Petunia never married Vernon, 'cause I hate him with a purple passion reserved for the most annoying boy in my old school. J

Telepathy 101
Chapter 1- Return to Hogwarts
Harry Potter sat distractedly on the floor of his aunt and cousin's home in Surrey. He sat on the rug in the living room with his left arm balanced on his knee. His morose face focused on one of his aunt's angel figurines as it wobbled slightly and it floated softly in the air. Harry watched it with a kind of absent attention as it began to twirl in the air.
"Harry?" asked his aunt Petunia. She came in the room carrying a mug of hot chocolate. She hardly blinked when she saw Harry. She put the mug down on the coffee table and she sat down on the couch. She looked at him with worried eyes. "Harry, talk to us. We're worried about you. You'll meet your parents at the train station and the three of you will go home."
Petunia's son Dudley Evans walked in the door with his girlfriend Pansy beside him. Harry immediately stopped playing with the figurines. His being a telekinetic was a family secret.
Dudley had grown from the chunky boy he had been during childhood into a tall muscular good-looking boy. At 17, Dudley was the most popular boy at the school. Pansy had gone after Dudley for three years before she got him. Harry had thought that easy going Dudley would tire of Pansy, but Dudley seemed to like Pansy's determination.
Even Harry liked Pansy, and Harry had never liked any of his cousin's girlfriends.
Pansy had long brown hair that was straight and sleek. Both Pansy and Dudley enjoyed being outside so her hair had blonde highlights that came from the sun.
"Hey Harry," Dudley said. Harry raised a hand in greeting. Suddenly Harry was pulled into Pansy's arms in a comforting hug.
"It's great to see you Harry," Pansy said. "I missed you when you were in Japan."
After an incident when Harry was fourteen, the Potters moved to Japan where Harry was able to heal emotionally. After being gone for four years, Harry was back to finish his last year at Hogwarts High. "Hi Pansy," Harry said speaking for the first time that day.
Dudley and Petunia exchanged smiles over their heads.
"Knock, knock," called Lily Potter as she walked into the house.
"Hi Mum," Harry yelled. Harry's elfin face lit up at the sight of his mother. Harry's emerald green eyes looked alive for once from behind his thin black frame glasses. His ebony black hair stuck up in places and was generally a mess. Harry was sleekly muscled from years of playing football (soccer) in school and he played for a semi-professional team in Japan. Lily's red hair was back in a ponytail and her emerald green eyes were delighted at the sight of her son looking happy once more.
Three men walked in after Lily. One was obviously Harry's father James. It was obvious because Harry was a carbon copy of James, at least physically. The other two men were James' best friends Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. Sirius was tall with laughing blue eyes and black hair. Remus was slightly shorter with light brown hair and amber eyes. Harry brightened when he saw his godfather and adopted uncle.
Harry hugged the two then his parents. Lily wrapped her arms around her son. "There's someone waiting to see you outside," Lily said to Harry. Harry looked at her, then he rushed outside.
Outside, by Sirius and Remus' car, stood a tall boy with wavy black hair and dancing green eyes. Beside him stood a slightly shorter, lanky red headed boy and a slim girl with bushy brown hair. Harry's face broke into a huge grin and he ran outside. "Tom!" he cried, running into the arms of the tallest boy. Tom pulled Harry securely into his arms and he spun them around. "I missed you. I thought you were going to stay in Japan!"
"And leave my darling baby brother all alone with no protection?" Tom Potter asked. Harry rolled his eyes and he moved on to his two best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The girl squealed and she threw her arms around Harry once Tom let go of him. Harry hugged his best friends then he hugged his brother again. "Are you ready to go home squirt?" Tom asked.
Harry's happy smile dimmed slightly as he thought of returning to his high school. "I guess," he said.
"It'll be okay Harry," Ron said. Harry turned to look at his best friend. "Everyone misses you."
"Is he still there?" Harry asked Hermione. She nodded, her cinnamon brown eyes sad. "Well I guess I'll have to face him sometime." Harry turned to Tom. "Let's go home," he said.
Ron and Hermione cheered and they ran inside to let James and Lily know that Harry was ready. Sirius carried Harry's bags and Remus carried Hermione on his back. James carried Lily in his arms and he deposited her in the Potter's convertible.
The three friends got in the back of Remus and Sirius' car and the two cars headed off to the village of Hogsmeade, where they lived.
