So this is my very first fanfiction, I want to apologize beforehand; my first language is Norwegian, therefore the bad grammar. But non-the less I hope you guys enjoy this. Feel free to leave a feedback, it's much appreciated.
"HARRY!" some one yelled from what sounded like miles away, Harry who had been sound asleep just a few minutes before, turned around and tried his best to go back to sleep.
But before he could so much as close his eyes shut again, a loud crash and pain sent him jumping out of bed. Still groggy and not completely awake he turned to see his brother laid out on his bed with his broom in one hand.
"What in Merlin's name are you doing you idiot?" He said as he grabbed a book and threw it in the direction of his brother.
"I was told to wake you, we're going to Diagon Alley you know!" his brother said with a big smile, and he couldn't help but light up as well. They had been been looking forward to this day, and tomorrow they would finally be going to Hogwarts just like they had been talking about ever since the letters finally arrived.
"I know you fool, I was about to get up, you didn't have to run me over with your broom" the part about getting up was a lie, and they both knew it, but he continued as if not "and Sirius would flip out if he knew you we're flying that thing around inside again!"
Right on time their godfather yelled "Harry, Jake! We're leaving in 10 minutes! If you are not down her by then I'll drag you both by your ears all the way to London"
With a smirk on his face, Harry said "Well I better tell him about the broom before we leave then…" and with that he ran for it.
"No you won't!" Jake yelled as he ran after his brother, trying to stop him. Last time he had flown his broom inside, their godfather had grounded him for a week and taken away the broom as well. He would not have that again if he could do anything about it.
After 10 minutes had passed and none of the boy's was down stairs ready to leave, Sirius was forced to go get them as usual. Now they were James Potter's sons after all, so it came by no surprise when he found the boys upstairs still not dressed and in the middle of what looked to be a duel with broomsticks. Sirius couldn't help but laugh at them. They truly were just like their father.
Jake who was the oldest by 20 minutes; something he liked to point out very often, resembled their father James the most, only difference was that he had no glasses and no black and untidy hair, but his mothers dark red and sleek hair. While Harry on the other hand was a spitting image of James but with Lily's bright green eyes. All though Harry looked the most like his father, he was more like anything like his mother. He was kind and caring.
But one thing that made the one more different from the other was a scar in the shape of a lightning bolt, a scar that had been left behind by the man who killed their parents, Voldemort. They were known as the boys who lived. But really it was only Harry, it could easily have been Jake, but Voldemort had tried to kill Harry first. How a 1 year-old baby had survived the killing curse that had ended so many great wizards before him was beyond everyone's understanding, but not only did Harry survive, he was the reason to why the biggest dark wizard of them all was gone.
After watching the young ones for a few more minutes, he decided it was time to interrupt if they where ever to make it to Diagon Ally, and before they actually killed each other. After a good hour the small family had finally made it there, and was walking through the streets of Diagon Ally. At the Leaky Cauldron they had met Hagrid, the gatekepper at Hogwarts, who often came to visit during the summer holidays. When they made it to Gringotts, the wizard bank, they ran into another good friend as well, Remus Lupin, a school friend of their parants and their godfather Sirius as well.
"Now what are you trouble makers up to now" he said smiling as Harry and Jake came running up to him, giving them bot a pat on the head.
"We're going to Hogwarts tomorrow!" they both cheered looking up at Lupin.
"Hello there my good friend" Sirius said as he greeted his old friend.
"Time goes by to fast, I feel like it was only yesterday they were flying around on their toy brooms and nearly killing the cat, you remember that?" Lupin said with a smile and a hint of sadness thinking of Lily and James not being around to see the kids leave for first year at Hogwarts.
Sirius nodded but before he could say anything he was distracted "Jacob Theodore Potter, you get down from there…" and off he went to get Jake, who thought it would be fun to make a scene by climbing one of the statues. Harry was left with Lupin, giggling a little over his brother's stupidity.
"How come you didn't come by for dinner last weekend uncle Remus? Tonks and Mad-Eye came over, he was showing us some funny spells that we could show off at school, don't tell Sirius though" Harry asked looking up at Lupin, who still was watching Sirius fighting to get Jake off a golden statue that looked to be a gobbling.
"I'm sorry to miss that, but I had some business to tend to. But I'll see you guys again this holiday wont I?" Lupin replied smiling down at him.
"Yeah I guess…" Harry said, a bit sad that he hadn't got to spend some time with Lupin before leaving for school. But before he could say anything else Sirius called him to come. So he waved his goodbye and ran of after Sirius and his brother.
A hour or two later they had managed to get most of their school supplies. Sirius had gone to buy them a owl for school, while Harry and Jake was getting their school robes fitted over at Madam Malkin's.
Harry was done, and was watching as his brother Jake and a blond haired boy getting their robes fitted. Harry didn't like the boy's arrogant smirk and disrespectful tone as he was talking to Jake, but his brother seemed to be fine with it.
"I'm Draco. Draco Malfoy." The boy introduced himself proudly, and Harry knew that name meant no good; their godfather had often talked about his family and how they once had been supporters of you-know-who, but just like before Jake didn't show to be bothered by that, in fact he seemed to be getting along with this boy.
"Jake Potter" he replied shortly, sounding even prouder than the Malfoy kid. At the sound of their last name, Draco's eyes shot to Harry who had not spoken to the boy yet.
"So this must be the famous Harry Potter" he said with look of interest, this always bothered Jake. Because unlike Harry he was not the famous one everyone talked about. When they met other wizards Harry was the one that got most of the attention, even though he didn't want it nor did he ask for it. This was something he'd told his brother over and over, and he that he would gladly trade. He was famous for something he couldn't even remember, and he was glad he did not remember.
"That's my brother yeah" Jake replied for Harry, he sounded annoyed, but Draco did not move his eyes from Harry. He was about to ask if he would mind stop staring at his forehead where the scar was hidden, he hated people staring and looking at it, but a knock on the window saved him from it. Sirius was standing out side with two owls, which seemed to cheer up Jake and made him forget about the Malfoy boy.
Later on they were sitting out side Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream shop enjoying a ice cream in the sunny but busy streets of Diagon Alley. Jake was chatting happily with Sirus, discussing what he would name his owl. Harry did not participate in the conversation, nor was he enjoying him self very much, he was thinking about something that had happened after they had left Madam Malkin's. They had gone to get their wands, Jake had found one right away, but it nearly took an hour before Harry found the right one, but it wasn't that which was bothering him. It had been something Ollivander had said after that, which had him worried.
"What is bothering you Harry?" Sirius asked with a soft voice next to him, and he looked up to meet his godfather's eyes.
"What Ollivander said when I got my wand, what did he mean?" he asked, all though he already knew the answer to that deep down, but he needed to hear it from someone else. Sirius frowned and he could tell his godfather were trying to find the right words so not to make Harry worry more.
"My wand is the brother of the wand that did this…" he said and pointed to his scar, it wasn't a question "… the very same wand that murdered our parents" Harry finished noticing the worry in his own voice.
"Harry, it's just a coincident, nothing more, don't worry to much about it okay?" his godfathers replied. But this didn't reassure Harry at all.
"But Sirius, what if I end up like you-know-who, what if I end up in Slytherin and turn out just as him…" Harry said with a low voice, finally saying what had been worrying him ever since Ollivander had told him about the wand.
"Harry how can you think that after what he did to your parents, you are not Voldemort, and you will never be. Don't you worry about that anymore, promise me" Sirius said softly looking intro those bright green eyes. Harry hadn't noticed a few drops of tears running down his chin until Sirius gently reached out to stroke them away.
"Cheer up brother" Jake suddenly said, who had been listening the whole time "let's go check out the new Nimbus 2000" and off he ran again.
"I made my self clear earlier, we're not getting one Jake!" Sirius yelled after him, he turned back to Harry to give him a quick comforting hug telling him once more not to worry about it, before the two of them walked after Jake.
That night Harry couldn't sleep; he kept worrying about what Ollivander had said earlier. And when he finally did fall asleep, he had the strangest of dreams, just a bright green light he could not remember having before and a woman screaming. Not the way he wanted to start off his first school year, tired and scared.
