Chapter 1

Knock knock knock

"Get up! Now!" A lady named Petunia Dursley nee Evans, shrieked as she knocked on a cupboard door, that is right below the stair cases, before unlocking the lock.

Inside the cupboard held a 10 year old boy, known as Harry James Potter, who woke up from the noise of his aunt. Harry pulled on the string hanging near him to turn on the lights before getting his glasses.

As he put on his glasses he heard quick heavy steps going down the stairs, however the footing stopped a couple stairs from the floor and heard it go up and stop above his 'room' and heard the person jump on the stairs, causing dusts to fall all over him.

"Wake up Potter! We are going to the zoo!" Harry identified the person to be Dudley Dursley, seeing as he recognize his voice and childish behavior.

Harry sighed in irritation before opening the cupboard door as he brushed off some dusts on him. Before he could fully get out of his 'room' Dudley, ran down the stairs and pushed Harry back, slammed the door in Harry's face before running into the kitchen.

As Harry reopened his exit from his 'room' to the hallway, he heard the entrance door opening to reveal his younger twin brother, Aaron Potter.

Both Harry and Aaron look quite alike, if one of them were to change their hair style, get colored eyes contacts and wore the other's cloths, it would be like seeing Harry's, or Aaron's, reflection. They both have black hair, with Aaron's a slight longer, by a few centimeters or by an inch, pale skin and a skinny body, with a small amount of height difference.

But even if they were twins, there were a couple of differences to seperate one another. For one thing, Harry's eyes were light green, while Aaron were aqua colored eyes. Secondly, Harry has a 'nice boy' kind of attires, while Aaron had a 'bad boy' look with their personality to back it up. And thirdly even if they were twins, some would say Aaron was a bit more attractive than Harry, with his slightly feminime features, his eyes and his soft angelic voice, if they were to ever have a chance to hear it.

However the main difference between them was that Harry has a lightening bolt shaped scar on his forehead, and Aaron's star shaped beauty/birth mark under the corner end of his left eye.

"Hey Aaron" Harry said as he clossed his 'room' door.

Aaron glanced at Harry before nodding in reply as he closed the door behind him.

The both went into the kitchen to see their aunt hugged Dudley. When she noticed them she turned to them and spoke before she covered Dudley's eyes as they walked into the living room.

"One of you cook breakfast, and don't burn them. I want Dudley's birthday to be perfect."

"Yes, Aunt Petunia." Harry said walking over the stove.

"Hurry boy! Give me my coffee!" Demanded their uncle Vernon Dursley.

"..." Aaron replied as he filled up a cup with coffee, placing it beside his uncle's empty plate.

"How many are there?" They heard Dudley say to his parents.

"36, counted it myself." Uncle Vernon said proudly.

"36?! But last year I had 37!"

"Well because some were bigger than last year." He tried to explain.

"I don't care how big they are!"

"Listen dear, later when we go out we'll buy you two more gifts. How's that?" Aunt Petunia said solving the issue.

Harry just stared at the scene as he made breakfast, while Aaron mentally rolled his eyes.


Reptile House in the Zoo,

They were all staring at a large snake, who happens to be sleeping.

"Wake it up?" Dudley said.

Vernon stopped looking at the zoo map in his hand and knocked on the glass. "Move!"

When it still didn't move Dudley started bang on the glass. "Move!"

"He's asleep!" Harry said.

Dudley glared at Harry and Aaron before walking away with his parents to look at other reptiles. "Come on this is boring."

Harry and Aaron jsut stayed in place, looking at the snake on the other side of the glass.

"Sorry about him he doesn't understand how it feels, lying there day after day. People pressing their ugly faces on you."

They both saw the snake move it's head and blinked at them in agreement.

Harry watched it in amazement, looking around to see if anyone saw it and found out it was only him and Aaron, who had no expression on his face, that saw it.

"Can you hear us?" The snake nodded, but looked at Aaron.

When Harry saw this he answered for Aaron. "Don't mind him, he doesn't really speak or show his emotions much." The snake nodded it's head in understanding.

"I never talked to snakes before, have you Aaron?" Aaron shook his head in hesitation.

"Have you spoke to people before?" Harry asked the snake, who shook his head.

"Wow, you're from Burmer aren't you?" Harry said, looking at the sign. "Was it nice there? Do you miss your family?"

The snake shook his head as Aarn patted Harry's shoulder before pointing to another sign.

BRED IN CAPTIVITY

"That's us as well, we never really met our parents either." Harry said right before he was pushed against Aaron, causing both of them to fall, by Dudley who was calling his parents to see the now awoken snake.

As they both sat up Harry glared at him while Aaron had a glint of hate in his eyes towards their supposed cousin.

After Dudley pressed his face against the glass to have a closer look of the snake, the glass disappeared causing the young Dursley to fall over the railing and into the snake's pond.

Harry laughed as quietly as he could while Aaron's eyes shined in delight. Slowly the snake slithered out of his cage and onto the floor in front of them.

"Thanks" They heard the snake said.

"Anytime" Aaron nodded, before the snake slithered away towards the exit, causing people to panick when they saw a snake on the loose.

They could hear Dudley and Aunt Petunia calling out to each other in panic. As this happened Uncle Vernon gapped at his son before turning his glare at the twins. When they saw it Harry slowly stopped laughing as Aaron just looked at their uncle, delight gone from his eyes.

Once they got home Petunia lead a shaking Dudley to the living room, with an angry Vernon right behind them, who held Harry and Aaron by their hair.

"What happened?!" He said pushing them against the stairwell.

"We don't know! One minute the glass was was there, then it was gone! It was like magic!" Harry said for the two of them.

When Harry said the word magic, Vernon's face became more red if possible before he raised a hand and downward to Harry's face.

"There is no such thing as magic!"

Smack!

His hand met Aaron's left cheek instead of Harry's.

"Aaron you ok?!" Harry exclaimed from behind his younger twin. Before he could have a chance to turn and see his younger twin's face Vernon opened the cupboard door and pushed the pair into the small space, locking the two in.

When Harry heard his uncle's footsteps walking away, he turned the light on and gasped at his twin's red cheek.

"You okay?" Harry said, softly touching his twin's cheek.

Aaron's left eye blinked in pain, when Harry's finger brushed against his injury, before nodding.


After a couple of day's when Harry was getting the mail, he shuffled through them and had a look of surprise on his face when he saw a mail addressed to him and his brother.

Mr. H. & Mr. A. Potter.
The Cupboard Under the Stairs and/or Tree House in the Backyard.
4. Privat Drive.
Little Whinging.
Surrey

Slowly he walked back in the kitchen and gave other mails to Vernon, as he continued to stare at his mail. Walking towards his twin, who just came in from the back door where he usually sleeps in the tree house.

"Dad look! The twins have a letter!" Dudley screamed taking the mail from Harry's hand before handing it to his father.

"Give it back! It's ours!" Harry yelled.

"Who would be righting to you?" Vernon said, looking at the letter. Once Vernon and Petunia had a better look at the mail, that had a look of horror in their faces.

Throughout the week, the same exact mail kept coming and coming. However no matter how many were sent Vernon would destroy it before the twins could have a chance to see what it was about. The whole time this happened Harry and Aaron were locked up in the cupboard, unless it was time for meals. The mail kept coming in numbers driving Vernon crazy since he was the one to destroy them. He even closed up the mail slot making it impossible for any mail to get through.

"Fine day, Sunday." Vernon said calmly. "In my opinoun, the best day of the week, you know why Dudley?" Dudley gave him a look of confusion until Harry answered for him.

"Because they is no posts on Sunday."

"Right you are Harry, no post on Sundays." Vernon said laughing. "No blasted letters today. No sir." While Vernon was ranting about the mailing system Aaron had joined them in the sitting room and was looking at the owls outside like his brother.

Than a letter flew through the chimney and smacked Vernon in the face. Everyone was in shock as the house started shaking and more letters poured through the chimney and every opening they could find. Dudley ran and jumped on his mummy's lap while Vernon screamed, as Harry and Aaron tried to grab a mail in the air.

"Give me that!" Vernon said running after them as they ran to the cupboard so they could open their letter. However before they could open the door Vernon caught Aaron, who held an envelope.

"That's it!" Vernon yelled. "We're going away! Far away! Where they can't find us!"

"Daddy's gone mad hasn't he?" Dudley said looking at his screaming father, who was stilling holding the younger twin as Harry tried to pry Vernon's grasp off of Aaron.

And that's how they ended up here, in a shack on an island in the middle of the ocean, Vernon and Petunia upstairs in the only bedroom, Dudley on the couch and Harry and Aaron on the dirt floor.

Harry was lying on his stomach, finger in the dirt with Aaron sitting next to him looking at Harry's drawing. The drawing was a cake with Happy Birthday written on it with Harry & Aaron's name around it with 11 candles. Dudley's watch struck 12:00.

"Make a wish" Harry said, as they both blew out the 'candles'.

That's when they heard banging on the door, which caused everyone in the house to wake up. After five more bangs, as Vernon and his wife walked down the stairs, the door fell to the ground. To reveal a large man, known as Rudeus Hagrid, stepped inside the shack.

The Dursley's screamed in fear.

"Sorry about that." Hagrid said, as he picked the door up easily back before putting it back in place.

"I demand that you leave at once, you are breaking and entering!" Vernon yelled with fear in his voice, as he pointed a gun at Hagrid.

"Dry up Dursley you great prune." Hagrid said standing in front of Vernon and Petunia. He held the front of the gun and bent it upward towards the ceiling; it fired leaving a hole in the roof.

He then walked up to the twins and looked at Aaron. "Boy, I haven't seen you since you were a baby, you're a bit shorter that I thought you'd be." Turned to Harry. "And you must be Aaron, this is my first time finally meeting you!"

"I'm not Aaron, i'm Harry." Harry said. "The one with the star below his left eye is Aaron."

Aaron nodded, pointing at the said mark.

Hagrid kneeled and looked at the two before grinning. "Sorry about that you two look about the same." He stood up pulling out something from one of his large pockets. "Now, I have a little something for the two of ya." He passed Aaron a box as he continued to speak. "Sorry if it's a bit squished, but it'll taste the same. Baked it myself, words and all."

When the twins opened the box they saw a cake, that said HAPPEE BIRTHDAE HARRY & AARON

"Thank you" Harry said with a smile, with Aaron nodding as he contined to stare at the cake.

"Well it ain't everyday when young men turn 11 now is it." Hagrid said as he sat down on a couch, pointing his umbrella at the fieplace across from him as two fireballs came out of the tip staring a fire to warm the place up. The Dursley's jumped while the twin's looked at the display in fasination.

"Um... Excuse me but who are you?" Harry said as Aaron placed the box, that held their cake, on a table.

"Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of keys and grounds of Hogwarts. Of course you and you're borther know all about Hogwarts."

"Sorry, but we don't." Harry said.

"No?" Hagrid said in suprise. "Blimey Harry, Aaron. Don't you wonder where your parents learned it all?"

"Learned what?" Aaron spoke, wanting to know more of their parents.

"You two are both wizards." Hagrid said.

"We're what?" Harry asked in surprised as Aaron looked at Hagrid as if he was crazy.

"Wizards, and a thumping god pair i'd wager, well once you both are trained a little of course."

"No, you made a mistake we're not, I mean we can't be wizards. We're just twins, just Harry and Aaron." Harry said.

"Well, just Harry and just Aaron, have anything strange happened when you are mad or scared?" When Hagrid heard no answer from them as he continued to look at the two, he stood up with a smile on his face, pulled out the same mail that keeps coming to the Durley's household and handed it to Harry.

"Dear Mr. Harry and Mr. Aaron Potter, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Harry read out loud.

"They will not be going I tell you, we swore when we took them in we would put a stop to all this rubbish." Vernon said walking over to the twins and looking Hagrid straight in the eyes.

"You knew?!" Harry said looking at the man. "You knew all along and you never told us?"

"Of course we knew, how could we not know. My perfect sister being who she was, and my mother and father were so proud the day she got her letter. We had a witch in the family, isn't it wonderful. I was the only one to see her for what she was, a freak. Then she got that Potter and she had you two and I knew that you two would be just the same, just as strange and just as abnormal. Then if you please she went and got herself blown up and we got landed with you two."

"Blown up? You told us our parents got killed in a car crash!" Harry said.

"Car crash? A car crash killed Lily and James Potter? It's an outrage, it's a scandal." Hagrid said looking outraged and furious.

"They will not be going." Vernon said simply.

"And I suppose a great muggle like you is going to stop them." Hagrid asked.

"Muggle?" Harry asked looking at the man.

"Non-magic people" Hagrid said to the twins who nodded understanding. "These children have had their names on the list since they were born. They'll be going to the finest school of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the world and they'll be under the finest headmaster that Hogwarts has ever seen. Albus Dumbledore."

"I will not pay to have some crack pot old fool teach them magic tricks." Vernon said not budging.

"Never insult Albus Dumbledore in front of me." Hagrid said angrily. Then he noticed Dudley eating the cake in the corner and aimed his umbrella at him. Sure enough a pig's tail sprouted out of Dudley's butt. All the Dursley's started freaking out while Harry and Hagrid laughed at the scene in front of them, as Aaron's eyes glinted in delight once more.

"Oh um... I'd appreciate it if you two didn't tell anyone at Hogwarts about that. I'm not allowed to do magic." Hagrid said scratching the back of his head.

"Ok." The twins nodded.

"Oh ah look at the time we're a bit behind, best be off." Hagrid said looking at his pocket watch and heading to the door and knocking it to the ground once again. "Unless you two would rather stay?"

Without hesitation Harry and Aaron followed Hagrid out of the shack.

"..." Harry turned to Aaron and saw him looking at his hand.

"Don't worry Aaron will go buy another cake then." When Hagrid heard this he stopped his footing.

"I can make another one, you boys can help me as well if you want. Let's just hope another pig won't eat the cake." Harry and Hagrid laughed, as Aaron nodded with happiness glinted in his aqua colored eyes.
