I am soooooooooo sorry for not updating but quite honestly I just wasn't sure what to put next. Not much of an excuse I know but it's the truth I had too many ideas and needed to cut the chapter shorter.

Also I'm writing the first chapter for each story in the Poll in my Bio.

So far people want me to write "The Marauders' Years" the most so I'm working extra hard on that one.

And I've already finished the first chapter of "Sirius and Marlene-Romeo and Juliet" and "My Heart Will Go On."

Yay! And I'm working on the first chappie of "The Truth Will Out" and I'm also working on another AU and a sort of Stop Bullying Story :)

So...yeah...brain over load! And I'm going to Wexford every weekend to visit my Nan, Granda and brother who are staying there for the summer.

So again sorry for the lack of updates but here's a new chapter for you now!

P.S if you want to vote on which story I should write next do it soon because I'll be taking it down in the next few days.

L-to the-I-to the-N-to the-E

Alex Potter was confused.

Was Harry telling the truth?

He honestly could not remember bullying him.

And he couldn't remember his parents hitting him.

Telling him off for being cheeky yes, but hitting no!

His mother and father just weren't the type of people to hit anyone...well except Death Eaters.

And that was only without a wand and if they were cornered.

Maybe he should ask them later but for now he had Quidditch practice.

...

Harry Potter was also confused.

Why couldn't Alex remember bullying him and their parents hitting him?

Maybe they really were infested with Wrackspurts like Luna said.

"Hey mate" said Fred and their new friend Lee Jordan as they plopped into a seat next to him in the Great Hall.

"What's up?" asked Lee.

"I keep thinking about that argument with Alex" said Harry. "I just think it's weird that he can't remember since we were the same age and despite his bullying he seemed smart enough."

Fred nodded. "That does seem a little fishy" he agreed. "Memory Charm maybe?"

Harry shook his head. "Why would anyone put a Memory Charm on them?" he asked.

Fred shrugged. "I don't know...to control them? Or maybe it was the Confundus Charm or the Imperious Curse?"

"All very good ideas" said Lee. "But as Harry said why would anyone do that to the Potters? Unless there is a suspect or a valid reason we're just gonna have to assume that Alex has one shitty memory!"

Harry nodded. That was the only decent reason so far.

But all the same...Fred had the right idea...Maybe someone wanted to control the Potters...

The only question was who?

Who would be that desperate?

...

Sirius Black was talking with Percy Weasley in Hogsmeade.

They both agreed that Dumbledore had been acting strangely ever since Harry, Neville, Fred and George returned.

He was acting more...manipulative.

And the boys had united three of the four Hogwarts Houses! You'd think he'd be happy about that but he seemed almost angry.

"It's been really weird!" said Percy fixing his lob sided glasses. "He's really keen on getting them to do what he wants!"

Sirius nodded slowly.

"Yeah" he said. "I just don't get it...I mean Dumbledore's always been a bit...off shall we say but lately he just...I don't know how to explain it but he seems really controlling and even more keen for Alex to train. It's insane!"

"Yeah" said Percy.

He really didn't like how Dumbledore was acting.

To be honest it was a little scary to see the usually grandfatherly man act so short tempered.

"Maybe we'll just have to ask him to back off?" Percy suggested.

Sirius gave a bark like laugh.

"Are you kidding me?" he said. "He'll blow his top! You should have seen how he acted when Tonks told him to cool it! The last time I heard someone yell that loud was when my mother sent me a Howler for getting into Gryffindor!"

Percy winced. He had seen the portrait of Sirius' mother...Picturing Dumbledore yelling like that...forget scary it made Percy want to wet his pants!

"So...want to get a Butterbeer?" Sirius asked.

Percy nodded. "Sure."

But before they could move more than an inch there were at least 100 gunshot like cracks.

It was the sound of people Apparating.

They looked up and saw a huge crowd of Death Eaters.

And at the front of the crowd was Lord Voldemort.

Sirius and Percy paled and Sirius summed up the situation in the only way Sirius Orion Black was capable of; "Shit."

...

It was lunch time. As the food appeared on the plates in the Great Hall a Patronus came soaring through the window.

It was a large silver Grim like dog. It was Sirius' Patronus.

"Death Eaters are attacking Hogsmeade again! Voldemort is with them! We need backup and QUICKLY!"

Harry paled.

Death Eaters and Voldemort were with Sirius?

Oh hell no!

Harry would be damned if he let that scum hurt his godfather!

He stood up as did all his friends.

"Come on!" he yelled as he ran from the room before the teachers of Order members could do anything.

...

Luna Lovegood was shocked.

Hogsmeade had been attacked before, she had been present for eight of those attacks but this...this was insane!

A whole row of buildings were on fire, at least fifty people were already dead on the ground and twelve were injured and groaning in pain.

This really was insane.

She saw the twins and Percy fighting an unknown Death Eater.

She saw Lily Potter helping an injured old woman to safety.

She saw Sirius locked in a duel with Bellatrix again.

She saw Alecto Carrow fighting Bill and Charlie Weasley at the same time.

Where was Harry?

She had to know if he was safe.

She ran into the battle, her wand drawn, ready to help her friends.

...

The Death Eater the twins and Percy were fighting fell to the ground with a yelp. He wasn't dead but he was injured quite badly.

Percy felt satisfied knowing that. The scum shouldn't have gone for his brothers if he didn't want to get hurt.

Percy looked around.

Tonks and Remus were trying to put out some of the fires before they spread even further. Ernie and Justin were making sure no Death Eaters attacked them while their backs were turned.

Why were they attacking now? They didn't have a reason to. Then again this was Voldemort and his Death Eaters. They didn't need a reason to attack they just did.

Percy, Fred and George stood back to back as three Death Eaters closed in on them.

Percy was determined that Fred and George would get hurt.

He had already lost them once.

He didn't want to lose them again.

...

Harry and Lee were fighting their way through the crowd.

The home owners and shop keepers of Hogsmeade were either running to safety or helping the Order of The Phoenix fight.

Most Third Years and up were helping in the fight.

Dumbledore didn't even bother to object. He didn't seem to care if they got hurt or not.

Harry was confused as to why Voldemort was there.

This couldn't be the final battle could it?

Wouldn't Voldemort have attacked Hogwarts?

Wouldn't Snape have warned them if the final battle was coming?

After all Dumbledore made him swear an Unbreakable Vow to tell him if the final battle was coming so he would have to tell or he'd die.

So this couldn't be the final battle.

It was just another Let's Piss Everyone Off type of battle.

It was a battle that had no real meaning to it.

It was one that just happened because the bad guys were bored.

Voldemort disgusted him.

Speaking of which where was that ugly bastard?

"STOP THIS NOW!" yelled a high bone chilling voice "STOP FIGHTING NOW OR HE DIES!"

Everyone froze in shock and turned to the source of the voice. It was a very pale man with scarlet eyes with cat-like pupils. His nose was flat like a snake's with slits for nostrils. His fingers were so long that it made his hands look like spiders. He was wearing a long black cloak and had a huge green snake around his shoulders.

Harry's blood ran cold as he realised who this was.

This was the man who tried to kill him and his brother when they were babies.

This was the man whose supporters tortured Neville's parents into insanity.

This man was a walking demon...

It was Lord Voldemort...

And he had his wand arm raised and dangling lifelessly in the air with a trickle of blood running down from his temple...was Sirius!

"NO!" Harry yelled horrified and tried to run forward but Neville and George held him back.

"SIRIUS!" Harry yelled. "Sirius!"

Luna came and wrapped an arm around his shoulders trying to calm him down. It worked slightly but it didn't really help.

Voldemort had Sirius hostage.

And knowing Dumbledore he'd easily sacrifice Sirius.

Well that wasn't going to happen!

Harry broke free from his friends and ran forward.

He didn't know what he was going to do.

Kill Voldemort?

Try to grab Sirius?

He wasn't sure. All he knew was he hated Voldemort and anyone that worked for him.

Voldemort easily shot Harry backwards off his feet.

Luna screamed and tried to run forward but surprisingly Hermione Granger grabbed her and held her back.

"Luna no!" she said "Stop! He'll be fine, he can fight You-Know-Who, I'm sure of it!"

Harry shakily got to his feet and Voldemort stared at him almost like a curious child.

"Harry Potter" he said. It was a statement not a question.

"Yeah I am" said Harry "And I'm guessing you're Voldemort the Famous Bastard."

Despite the tension Fred and George started snickering.

Famous Bastard why didn't they think of that?

Neville groaned. Had Harry lost it?

Voldemort glared at him but then surprisingly smiled.

But it was an evil smile.

"How wonderful to see you again" he said calmly. "Maybe now I'll have some real competition."

Everyone was confused. Wouldn't Alex be enough competition? He was The Boy Who Lived after all.

Voldemort looked at Dumbledore who was at the head of the crowd.

"You made a mistake all those years ago Dumbledore" he said in an almost mocking tone. "You picked the wrong twin."

There was a confused murmur throughout the crowd but Dumbledore seemed to understand immediately and paled looking like he was about to throw up.

Voldemort raised his voice so that the whole crowd could hear him clearly.

"Alex Potter is not the Boy Who Lived! Dumbledore made a mistake! It was his twin, this boy, Harry James Potter!" Voldemort smirked as everyone gasped. Dumbledore looked close to fainting by this point.

Voldemort looked at Harry.

"You really don't stand a chance boy. But I shall be fair. You have two weeks to train and prepare yourself and then we shall fight" he said.

He disappeared with a crack as did his Death Eaters and Sirius started to fall to ground. Harry getting over his shock caught his head before it hit the ground.

Neville, Fred, George, Ernie, Justin, Lee, Angelina, Alicia, Katie, Hannah, Susan, Percy and Luna ran to him and after a moment's hesitation Hermione ran to them too.

Alex ran over looking shocked, confused but most of all worried.

"Harry..." he said but stopped. He didn't know what to say.

Harry nodded at him and Alex seemed to understand. It didn't matter. They were starting over.

People were talking to him but Harry didn't hear them. He stayed kneeling on the ground supporting Sirius' head.

His own head was spinning.

He was the Boy Who Lived.

He stopped Voldemort when he was a baby! Not Alex. Dumbledore had been wrong all along!

And now he was going to have to fight Voldemort in two weeks.

To quote Sirius; "Shit."

L-to the-I-to the-N-to the-E

A/N: HOLY CRAP THAT'S THE LONGEST CHAPTER I'VE WRITTEN SO FAR!

Only those who have watched A Very Potter Sequel will understand the Famous Bastard thing.

"You must be Harry Potter the Famous Bastard."

Lol all you fellow Sirius lovers want to kill me right now don't you?

And yes Hermione is a good guy she was just a bit stupid at first but she realised Dumbles is a git. You'll see how she found out in the next chapter :) Again I am so evil :) It's fun to mess with people! And yes everyone will realise what a git Dumbledore is, it won't just be Hermione.

See ya! Please review!
