Chapter 1

Summer was coming to an end; the nights were getting longer and the air colder. Though Jon Snow was born in the middle of the last winter he could not remember any of it. He had grown up and spent his childhood in the long summer. However like the summer Jon's childhood was also coming to an end, soon he would be a man grown and soon he will have to make something of his life. He knew from a young age what he was, he was no Stark and so he would never be lord of Winterfell or become a bannerman for his half-brother Robb when he becomes lord. Jon knew that the best he could do was become a knight of the realm and pledge his loyalty to Robb, however to become a Knight one had to worship the seven of the Sept and these were not Jon's gods. So with the option of becoming a knight no longer being available Jon decided that the night's watch was his calling, he decided that he would take to the black like his uncle Benjen and hopefully one day become first ranger or Lord Commander of the Night's watch for he knew even a bastard could rise high within the Night's watch.

The reason why Jon was thinking about all this was because he knew his Uncle Benjen was coming down from the wall to meet with the King who would be arriving in a week's time and Jon planned on asking his father for permission to return to the wall with his uncle. With these thoughts going through his head Jon looked up at the godswood and called out for Ghost, the wolf cub silent as snow stalked out of the woods and came to Jon's side. As Jon was getting ready the head back inside the wind picked up unnaturally as he turned he saw a light flash and almost instantly Ghost ran into the godswood towards the light. Calling out for the wolf to stop Jon ran in after it, finally catching up to the wolf Jon was greeted by a puzzling sight there were two people lying on the ground wearing clothing similar to a maester's robes, one was Lannister blonde and the other had hair as black as night.

Before Jon could run back and bring the guards the dark haired one woke up and locked eyes with him. Jon was startled by the vibrant emerald eyes of the stranger and did not hear the question directed towards him. "Are you deaf child? Or do you not understand what I am saying?" asked the stranger.

A bit bristled at being called a child Jon replied with all the depth and seriousness a fourteen year old can muster "I am no child ser, you are at Winterfell in the Godswood of the Starks".

The stranger seemed amused by Jon's tone and attempted to sound more like a man, but he also frowned when he heard the location almost like he did not know of Winterfell's existence. After what seemed like ages of thinking the stranger finally replied by introducing himself and his companion. "My name is Lord Harry Potter-Black and my companion here is Lord Draco Malfoy, it seems we need to speak with the Stark Lord. Will you take us to him Child?".

Jon angry at being called a child again replied with anger, "I have told you once before I am not a child, my name is Jon Snow and my Father does not meet with ever wanderer who gets drunk and lost in the godswood."

The stranger narrowed his eyes, lost his smile and locked eyes with Jon and spoke in a voice that could cut through ice "You are still a child in my eyes Jon Snow, when you have seen what I have seen, when you have felt what I have felt and when you have lost what I have lost then I shall call you a man. I am Lord Potter-Black and I will not be spoken to in such a disrespectful manner by the bastard child of some Lord. Now will you take me to your Father or should I find him myself and inform him of your actions?"

While they were speaking Draco had woken up and from the exchanges between Harry and the strange boy with the wolf he had gathered that they were in an unknown place possibly a different world all together. He also gathered that this place still had a royal family in power and it seemed that many lords reigned over the kings land and finally he deduced that they were on the land of the "Starks" and Harry was antagonizing the bastard son of the current Lord Stark. Draco knew they had to gain an audience with this Lord Stark and it seemed the only way this Jon Snow would consider taking them to his Father was if he had proof that Harry was indeed a Lord himself. Thus, finally opening his eyes and pretending like he only just woken up Draco looked around turned to Harry went to his knee and murmured "My Lord".

Harry seeing this knew what Draco was doing and replied "Rise Lord Malfoy and meet Jon Snow the bastard child of Lord Stark of Winterfell". Draco turned towards Jon smiled and exchanged greetings.

Jon seeing that the other man had woken up and bent the knee to this Harry Potter-Black realized that he is indeed a true lord. Swallowing his pride and a little bit of fear Jon looked at Harry Potter- no Lord Potter-Black and spoke, "My lord, I apologize for my conduct earlier, I am still young and am quick to anger I hope you will not hold my Father Lord Eddard Stark responsible for my wrong doings."

Lord Potter-Black gazed at him intently for a minute and then broke into a smile before replying "Do not worry Jon Snow, as long as you take us to meet your Father all is forgotten."

Jon let out the breath he didn't know he was holding and lead the two men out of the godswood and towards his father's hall.

Requesting the two lords to wait outside in the solar as he went into his father and lady wife's private quarters to fetch him Jon wondered who these two lords were as he was sure there were no great houses of Potter, Black or Malfoy in all of Westeros.

Lord Eddard Stark and Lady Catelyn Stark were sound asleep when they were woken up by a knock on the door. Lord Stark grumbled as he got out of bed, walked to the door and pulled it open. The guard on the other side explained that his Bastard son Jon has requested Lord Stark to the solar. Ned knew that this was something important as his son would not ask for the Lord of winterfell at this hour and so turned around to wake his wife and get dressed.

Jon was waiting in the antechamber of the private quarters nervously, the guard had returned and told him that the Lord and Lady are getting dressed. In a few minutes Lord Eddard Stark walked into the solar looking every bit as a lord his status should. "Why did you want the Lord of winterfell at this hour son?" spoke his father and Jon nervously explained all that happened in the last hour, he spoke of how he was spending time in the godswood and how two strangers appeared out of nowhere and were claiming to be Lords themselves and how they wanted an audience with the lord of Winterfell.

Eddard Stark took all of this in silently and thought over it for a few minutes. "You did well son, take me to these "Lords", I will speak to them and ascertain their purpose here." Jon's face glowed with pride at the praise given to him by his father and he proceeded to lead him to the solar.

Jon entered the solar and announced his father's presence, "The Lord of Winterfell has arrived".
