A/N- 2 reviews so far! I'm actually surprised that I even got reviews!
RemusSiriusJames- Yeah, the last chapter did go a little fast, and I apologize for that, it was just really late at night, and I just wanted to get something up, but thanks for the help, I'll try to go slower in the future!
BestDreamer- Thanks so much! And I'll try to write as much as I can over Christmas break! And yes, I hate Dumbledore too in this story.
I didn't say this in the last chapter but I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER, because if I did, Harry would have gone dark in 4th year ;D.
So here's chapter 2, ENJOY!
"JASON! WAKE UP BIRTHDAY BOY!" A young boy, about 5 years old, woke up to the sound of his mother's voice. But of course, the wakeup call wasn't for him; it was for his brother, Jason. Harry Potter took a deep breath as he woke up from his peaceful slumber. He could hear his mother fussing over his brother downstairs,
"I can't believe my baby boy is 6 years old! He's getting so tall and-"
"MUM! I don't need you treating me like a baby, I'm six years old, and I can take care of myself!" Harry felt a pang of sadness try to overcome him, but he pushed it away quickly. He was used to it; his parents never really noticed him, they were too busy with "the Boy Who Lived". But luckily, he still had his Uncle Remus and Uncle Sirius, who gave him a present every year for Christmas and his birthday. Harry sighed, got out of bed, and went downstairs. When he got to the kitchen, he saw his brother eating a big meal of pancakes and eggs. When his mother saw him she walked over to him and said,
"Sorry Harry, I didn't have time to make breakfast for you, do you think you can make it yourself? Your father and I have to get everything ready for Jason's party" instead of responding, Harry turned around and walked back up the stairs. Lily sighed as she turned around to see her husband, James walking through the door,
"Jason, you are going to have the best party yet! I got all the stuff and-"
"James? Can I talk to you for just a second?" Asked Lily quietly, interrupting James. James looked at Jason, then back at Lily,
"Sure" James followed Lily out of the kitchen, knowing that something was up,
"James, Harry has been acting weird. Like this morning, I just told harry we had to get ready for Jason's party and he-"
"Lils, don't worry, I'm sure Harry is fine. He maybe was just tired, that's all. Don't worry about it, today is Jason's birthday, and that's what our focus should be on for today" Lily looked at James,
"I guess your right" she said with a small smile. James smile became a wide grin as he and Lily planned their special day for their son.
The guests started to arrive at the Potter Mansion at around 1:30 in the afternoon. Each guest rushed over to meet the Boy Who Lived. The party began with the children playing in the backyard, and the adults talking and admiring the boy who saved the Wizarding World. The doorbell rang one more time, and James rushed over knowing who was at the door,
"Padfoot! Mooney! Great to see you guys!" Sirius Black, or nicknamed Padfoot, and Remus Lupin, nicknamed Mooney, each shared friendly hugs with James,
"So, where are Jason and Harry, we got presents for each of them!" Exclaimed Sirius. James stared at them,
"Harry? Why did you guys get a present for Harry?" Now it was their turn to give him a look
"It's Harry's birthday too, remember James?" Asked Remus curiously. James did know that it was Harry's birthday too, didn't he? James looked at them, but then started to laugh nervously,
"Of course I know it Harry's birthday too! I would never forget about my own son's birthday! Now, Jason is outside if you want to see him!"
"What about Harry? Is he outside too?" asked Sirius
"Well, actually, he's been in his room all day, and he hasn't come out. He only came out this morning, and then he just went back upstairs" Remus and Sirius shared a look,
"Well, can we go up and see him?" asked Remus
"Well, I don't know if he'll let you in, but you can try" replied James. After that, James turned around, and headed back outside. Sirius and Remus headed up the stairs, to the first door in front of them. Remus took a step forward and knocked twice,
"Who is it?" came a small reply from the other side of the door,
"Its Uncle Remus and Uncle Sirius, can we come in Harry?"
"Sure" Remus and Sirius walked in to find Harry reading on his bed,
"Hey kiddo! We got some presents for you!" Harry's eyes lit up, as he put down his book, raced towards Sirius and Remus, and gave them a hug. The both hugged him back and took out their presents,
"Here's mine cub. I know how much you love to read, and I think you will enjoy this" said Remus, smiling. Harry took the present right out of Remus's hands. He gasped at the beautiful brown leather book in his hands. He read the cover slowly, trying to pronounce each word. When he finally got it, he had the biggest grin on his face that Remus or Sirius had ever seen,
"HOGWARTS A HISTORY! THANK YOU SO MUCH UNCLE REMUS!" Harry ran right into Remus's arms, almost knocking him over,
"No problem Harry, I'm so glad you like it!"
"OI! What am I? An invisible wall?" asked Sirius playfully. Harry laughed,
"Of course not Uncle Sirius!" Sirius grinned,
"Well, here's your present kiddo! I think you'll be very surprised" Sirius suddenly took his wand and a miniature broom from his pocket. The broom started to grow larger and larger until it stopped to be around half Harry's height. Harry seemed to stare at it in shock,
"A broom? For me? But, daddy never let me ride a broom before, he only let Jason. Is this really for me?" Sirius and Remus stared at him in shock; James never let Harry try a broom?
"Of course it's for you Harry! It's even got your name on it!" To Sirius and Remus's shock, Harry started to cry,
"I can't thank you enough Uncle Sirius, you too Uncle Remus, this means so much to me!" Sirius and Remus rushed over to Harry,
"Hey, why don't you try it out?" Asked Sirius. Harry looked at him with hope in his eyes,
"Really? Do you think daddy would mind?"
"Of course he wouldn't mind! Now let's go downstairs and try this baby out!" Harry smiled and let his Uncle's bring him downstairs. When they got outside Sirius started to show Harry how to start,
"First, you get on the broom, then you kick off with you foot, and go!" Remus gave Sirius a worried look,
"Shouldn't you explain it a little clearer to him Sirius? I mean, he's only six year's old-"
"Mooney, trust me, I know what I'm doing! Harry is going to be fine, right Harry?" but when Sirius looked down, Harry wasn't there. Suddenly, screams were heard from the guests at the party. Sirius and Remus looked to see Harry plunging down on his broom. Then they heard a crash, followed by two little boys crying. As Sirius and Remus got through the crowd, they saw Harry on the ground, his knee bleeding, and crying. But they also saw Jason on the ground, unscathed, but crying also. Lily was craddiling Jason in her lap while they saw James looking at Harry with pure anger,
"LOOK WHAT YOU DID! TRYING TO RUIN JASON'S PARTY?" roared James at a frightened Harry,
"I'm sorry daddy! I was just trying to learn how to ride a broom, it was an accident!" cried Harry, clutching onto his bleeding knee,
"ACCIDENT? YOU COULD HAVE KILLED JASON! NOW GO UP TO YOUR ROOM TO RECEIVE YOUR PUNISHMENT!" Harry nodded, pushed through the crowd, and ran in the house. Remus and Sirius heard the crowd that circled around Jason talking. They heard things like "Idiot boy! Doesn't he know that his brother saved the wizarding world?" or "The boy got what he deserved, they should have gotten rid of him a long time ago!" But finally, the chatting stopped as Albus Dumbledore walked in the middle of the crowd,
"I think, it would be best, if everyone went home. Jason needs some rest, I am expecting, right Lily?" Lily nodded, holding her son tightly. The guests started to leave, saying good-bye to Lily, James and Jason. All was left was Sirius, Remus, and Albus Dumbledore,
"Look James, I think you were being way too harsh on Harry. I mean, I was the one who gave him the broom, and it was just an accident! He was just trying to-"
"Trying to what, Sirius? He ruined poor Jason's party! And besides, Harry never has ridden a broom in his life! Why would he start now?" Remus's blood boiled,
"Well, Harry told us you never let him, so I have the impression he always wanted to, but you would only allow Jason to!" James was seething now,
"Are you trying to say that I'm a bad father?" asked James quietly. Neither Sirius nor Remus replied, but instead, glared at him. Dumbledore stopped the silence by saying,
"Remus, Sirius, I think you should return to your homes, I must speak to Lily and James in private" Remus and Sirius left, leaving James and Lily to talk to Dumbledore after they put Jason to bed,
"James, Lily, I have been thinking, and I think it would be best for your family if we give Harry to an orphanage" Lily gasped at Dumbledore "I know, this must be a hard thing to do, but think about Jason's future. He cannot have a brother holding him down from training, but if you do this, we will just make sure that Harry does not remember living with you. He will still go to Hogwarts, but he will still live at the orphanage" Lily looked at James, then turned back to Dumbledore,
"I don't know if this is right, I mean, shouldn't Harry grow up with a loving family?" Dumbledore smiled,
"We will make sure Harry will be with an orphanage that will take care of him" Lily nodded,
"Alright, if you think it's what's best" What they didn't know that Harry was outside the kitchen door, listening to every word they had said. He knew about orphanages. They were places where parents took children they didn't want, and then they would never come back for them. Tears streamed down Harry's face, as he walked silently upstairs. He walked into his room, took out a piece of paper and a quill, and wrote a short note to his 'parents'. He packed his prized possessions, including Hogwarts, A History that Remus gave him, and some clothes. He waited until everyone was asleep, walked downstairs, and walked outside to the backyard. As he was walking towards the forest in his backyard, he stopped at the point where he crashed on his broom. He bent over, took the broom that was broken in half, and walked into the forest, hoping for a better life.
A/N- WOW! That took long! I hope it was a LITTLE slower, it might have been a little fast, but, that's how I write. I still need a Beta, so if anyone would like to be one, then leave a review, and tell me how to send my work to you! Next chapter, Voldemort finds Harry and brings him to Riddle Manor. I probably won't write the next chapter till Friday 12/21 because I have so much stuff to do, but don't worry, I love this story too much to give it up! (unless nobody likes it)
