-Just in case you were wondering, I don't own Harry Potter-

Chapter 1

-15 years later-

The boy-who-lived's brother sat at the Slytherin table, watching his brother and parents eat at the Gryffindor table with eagle eyes. He didn't miss a detail, when they laughed, when they spoke, he saw it all. He imagined what could have been had the headmaster not entered into the Potter's lives. He imagined a world where HE was the golden boy. Where HE was adored by many. Where HE had a family that doted on him. He thought back to when he realised that his parents would be coming to Hogwarts.

'Daniel Potter' Dumbledore read out with a small frown on his face as he squinted at the scrap of paper in his hand. All heads in the hall quickly spun to stare at the boy in question. He had a look of surprise on his face, and though he'll always deny it, everyone in the hall saw the hint of fear present. These feelings were quickly covered up as he rose to his feet, immediately ready to join the other champions. He slipped past Dumbledore as the hall erupted with whispers.

Before quickly disappearing, to no doubt join Daniel in the back room, he spoke out over the steadily growing volume in the hall. 'I expect everyone to be on best behaviour for the duration of the Triwizard Tournament. For not only will various celebrities be dipping in and out of the school to watch the tasks, but also all the families of the champions have been invited to stay at Hogwarts for the whole school year. Good night.'

This train of thought was quickly brought to a close at the incessant little red-headed girl next to him repeatedly poked his right arm.

'Harry. Harry. Harry.'

'What do you want now?' Harry exclaimed in an exasperated tone.

The small girl pouted unhappily at his exclamation.

'Nevermind' she declared unhappily.

Harry sighed. 'I'm sorry Abi. You know how seeing them all together is a pain'

Abigail Potter resolutely ignored him.

'I tell you what' Harry whispered 'If you forgive me I'll take you on a guided tour of the whole castle.'

Abi looked at him hopefully

'All of it?' she asked in hushed tone

'Even the secret passageways' he replied

The little girl could no longer keep her excitement contained and started to bounce on her seat.

'Let's go. Hurry up. Finish your food.' She fired at him in quick succession.

'Alright. Okay. Go ask your parents and see if you're allowed to come with me.' He ordered

She started to get up in a bit of huff, but went off nonetheless. Muttering about injustice, I'm not a baby and They're your parents too as she wandered briskly over to the Gryffindor table.

Harry shook his head in amusement as he watched her walk off, only to be interrupted by the girl opposite him.

'So that's your sister, huh? I never expected her to be so...bubbly, you know since she's related to you, the coldest person in Hogwarts'

' Ha Ha. Very funny Daphne. Besides, everyone knows you're the Ice Queen of Hogwarts, not me.' Harry replied

'Indeed I am and I'm proud of it. Do you know how hard it was to earn this title? That Davies girl gave me a run for my money' Daphne Greengrass said with a smirk

The girl next to her spun round, ditching her previous conversation, with enough force to give most people severe whiplash.

'Oh shut up Daph, you know that crown should be mine. I deserve it, I've never let my mask slip in public since we got sorted in first year...Unlike a certain someone who gets starry-eyed everytime Harry comes over' Tracey Davies spouted out in a stream of words before suddenly coming to a stop.

Both girls looked at each other for a second as what Davies said sunk in. A slight blush stained Daphne's cheeks.

Harry raised an eyebrow before slowly standing up.

'I'm going to go show my sister round the school. Please don't kill each other' He said before hastily walking over, away from the two girls, to where his sister was standing waiting impatiently for him.

Both girls dismissively muttered good bye, before quickly returning to a glaring stand-off.

-xx-

'So that's about it I think. Did you like the very amazing and fabulous tour?' Harry asked in very obviously fake pompous tone.

He was met with silence from the redhead on his back.

'Hello? Helloooo? Anyone there?' But it was a lost cause as the notoriously heavy sleeper in the Potter household had fallen into a deep slumber on his back.

'Great' Harry muttered to himself 'Now where do I go'

He was saved from wandering aimlessly around the castle by none other than Lily Potter herself.

'There you are angel. I was so worried, I looked everywhere for you. I didn't realise how late you were going to be when you said you were getting a tour of the castle' She exclaimed while rushing towards them, before coming to an abrupt halt as she met the cold green eyes of her elder son.

'Oh, Hi Harry' She said dumbly

He just continued staring at her with a blank expression on his face.

'Sorry, I didn't know you were with Rose'

He didn't say a word.

'I'll just take her and bring her back to our suite then' She said hesitantly as she reached out to grab her.

'I don't think she's going to get off anytime soon' He declared in a quiet voice.

Lily scoffed 'She is my daughter you know, I think she'd be quite happy to be with me instead'

Lily again reached out to grab Abi, but as Lily started to pry her off she began to cling closer to Harry's back, mumbling nothings that sounded suspiciously like wanna stay with Harry. Lily frowned in surprise before letting go of Abi.

'Guess you were right, you're going to have to come and bring her back to out suite' She said before giving Harry a funny look and turning to walk down the corridor.

'I don't have much of a choice now, do I?' Harry whispered to the unresponsive girl on his back.

He gave an inaudible sigh, shutting his eyes for a second, before quickly snapping them open as he started to follow his mother.
