A/n Hey everyone……. This is actually (loosely) based on a true story but the names have been changed, its sort of a different take on Harry Potter - what if he was an ordinary guy (not a wizard) and his parents were still alive etc. I know this is a bit of a leap from normal fan-fictions and a lot to imagine as Harry is THE wizard, but please give it a chance as I really think this fan-fic could go far! I've always loved writing and this site is fab! So ……….R/R please !

DISCLAIMER

I do not own Harry Potter or any of the other characters from the Harry Potter books - they belong to the wonderful JKR ! I own the rest though e.g. Rachel...Jack etc. But not Jack's surname, because that is JKR's as well...so I only really own half of him lol, but I suppose I created him as a character on his own...I'm not sure...his personality is mine and his first name ...

Ok hope you enjoy……

Chapter 1

Her phone rang on the table next to her, with a puzzled frown on her face she turned to pick it up, and, seeing who it was she smiled and answered it.

"Hey you" she said with a massive grin on her face, why is he ringing me, she thought.

"Hellllloooo Rachel!" Jack's voice filled her ear, ever cheerful, "How are we tonight?"

"I'm fine, as you well know, because I only said goodbye to you ten minutes ago!" She laughed, Jack was always joking and messing around, she could never stay upset for long when she was around him.

"Yeah, well...y'know, I just wanted to hear your voice, and to say that...I had a really good time tonight, thanks" God, that sounds so silly, she's just gonna laugh at me now.

Rachel frowned - Jack wasn't usually this serious, only when something was wrong, "Are you ok Jack? Anything wrong?"

"No! Why would it be? Just had a fun time with you..."

"Great! Well, so did I, thanks...so I'll see you tomorrow then?"

"Yep. Bye."

"Bye Jack" Rachel smiled as she clicked her phone shut and turned back to her computer. She wondered what the whole point of the phone call was - probably just Jack being his usual random self. But what did he mean - 'I just want to hear your voice' ? Did he mean...he missed me? No way ! 'But you wish he did' said a small voice in the back of her head. Visibly she shook herself and carried on with her coursework.

As Jack let himself into his house, he smiled as he thought about Rachel. She's so much fun to be with, so funny and pretty and I wish I could have someone like her... he thought about waving goodbye to her on the street corner, and he knew he should have grabbed her and kissed her, but how could he? I miss her already, he thought. A loud shrieking voice awoke him from his thoughts. Pulling the key out of the door he walked further into the house and rolled his eyes as he recognised the voice of his aunt, Petunia, scolding his dad for - what was it he had done now?

"I mean to say, Vernon look at him ! Would you ever get a haircut that stupid!"

"No, no Petunia dear, man looks like a common teenager!"

Jack grinned and walked into the kitchen to see his dad, a thin, tall, glasses-wearing man sitting with the biggest smile on his face and what looked like an cream coloured swirly biscuit on his head, instead of his usually messy black hair, his rather plump, squattish Uncle Vernon sitting reading a newspaper at the table and Aunt Petunia standing over James Potter, her bony finger inches from his face as she wagged it in a disconcerting manner.

When James caught sight of his son, he looked up and the cheeky, boyish smile on his face widened, "Hi Jack, wadda ya think?" and he turned round so that Jack could see the full extent of the 'damage' to his hair.

"Yeah dad, that looks...different" Jack tried to stifle the laughter.

"Don't worry, it's all for charity anyway! Didn't think I would of had this done on purpose did you Petunia?"

"Well no, of course not, don't be ridiculous!" Petunia straightened herself up and sighed, "What ever has happened to Lily? She said she'd only be five minutes"

Jack sat down at the kitchen table and grabbed one of his mother's fairy cakes off the plate in the middle. "What you mean, where's she gone?"

"Your mother went to get Dudley and Harry, I think they were doing homework or something" James stood up and put the kettle on. "Dunno why she's taking this long"

Suddenly there was a rumbling above them - someone was running down the stairs and then a huge young teenage boy rushed into the room.

"MUMMY! I've done my homework mummy and Harry said I did really well, he didn't really have to help me at all"

"Well done darling, we'll get you a Burger King on the way home, as a reward!" Petunia smiled at her son, a sickly sweet smile.

"Clever boy! Always knew he had it in him!" Roared Vernon, from his spot at the table.

Lily and Harry Potter entered the room just then. Lily had dark red hair and beautiful green eyes and standing next to Harry, their eyes were so much alike, but Harry had inherited his fathers (natural) hair and features. Jack was different to the rest of his family - sure, he had his fathers dark hair, but he had hazel eyes, his parents said he inherited them from his grandmother.

"Hey mum, Alright Harry?" Jack nodded to his older brother, "Dudley been alright?"

"Yep, he was fine once I helped him, not annoying at all..." Harry grinned at Jack - they both got on with Dudley, but sometimes their younger cousin stretched their patience just a bit.

"Did you have a good time with Rachel, dear?" Lily asked her youngest son.

"Yeah, was fun" Jack smiled and then lowered his voice "When are they going home?" He asked, motioning his head towards his Aunt, Uncle, who were now fussing over Dudley.

"Right Petunia, I think we should get going now. Thanks for all the help with Dudley's homework Harry, come on Dudley dear" Vernon rose from his seat and placed the newspaper down.

"Thanks Harry, bye Jackie!" and son and father left the warm kitchen and went out into the increasingly cold night.

"Thank you Lily darling and would you tell this husband of yours to sort that head out if he ever wants to be let into our neighbourhood again...the neighbours would have a heart attack!" Petunia pecked Lily on the cheek and swanned out.

"Peace - finally! Thank god for that, I thought they would never leave" exclaimed James.
