Summary: What if ancient creature blood coursed right through the Potter family? What if it only awakened inside of Harry? A total difference in fate. Harry is born with a full-human twin brother, who got named the Boy-Who-Lived. Growing up with the Dursley's was never the best. Maybe that was what led him to becoming darker.

Pre-Authors Note: I feel like I should have done this before, but from now on out every ten reviewers get a requested one-shot of any category that I'm familiar enough with to write on. This included Death Note, Hetalia, Kuroshitsuji, Naruto, Harry Potter (Of course), Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and Twilight. I've read tons more series, watched tons of movies, and read tons of manga but I'm trying to keep it limited to the stuff I know a lot about. If I PM you with being the tenth reviewer, you can offer up another category that I may know about and if I do know enough about it I'll write a one-shot on it for you.
I've decided to do this because I want more one-shots to be done, more stories to be written, and I really want to start showing real thanks towards my reviewers.
Chapter Twenty-Six
Harry woke up the next morning and quickly got ready. After taking a shower and getting dressed, he neatly brushed his hair before tying it up into a ponytail as before. He put all of his needed books for any classes, along with two extra for reading material, and of course parchments and quills into his book bag last. He picked up the stone necklace and tightened it around his neck, watching as Tom and Voldemort vanished before slipping on the Slytherin locket and hiding it in his robes, and putting the diary into his booking. He checked everything over as not to miss anything before leaving his dorm.
Entering the Great Hall, he was met with the bustle of all of the students as it for every first day. Breakfast was being served and whenever someone finished or before eating they would get their time table for the year. Giving a hum, he decided to scan the hall for his hat-I mean friends. Harry quickly spotted them eating at the Slytherin table before making his way over to them.
"All I'm saying is that Healing should be available.", Theo was telling Draco when Harry sat down by them.
"Hello!", he chirped.
"Aren't you bright this morning?", Blaise said.
"Of course! I can't to see my classes, knowing I at least get one with my dear brother.", Harry grinned.
"Harry, do you think Healing should be available?", Draco asked Harry.
"Of course. Students may want to study it but are unable too here Hogwarts because the classify it needing Potions and Herbology mastered to learn Healing which is untrue. You should be able to learn Healing in school.", Harry stated.
"Told you.", Theo smirked.
"Draco believes kids need to master things first before they step any further.", Blaise said.
"It makes it harder for people to get to a job because of constant studying. The quicker they can be hired and paid, the more money will be circulated.", Harry said.
Draco was silent but pouting.
"Just admit you're wrong.", Harry teased, biting into a piece of toast.
After breakfast, Harry made his way over to the Ravenclaw Head - Professor Flitwick.
"Hello mister Potter! Your schedule!", he handed harry the time table and Harry quickly investigated it.

Harry scanned it over and noticed they evened out all the classes oddly but made sure there would be enough time study the subject easily enough. He sighed and ultimately decided to do tons of extra studying just in case. He needed to keep his grade average of 'O'.
"We all Mondays and Fridays together.", Theo stated, walking over with Blaise behind him. Harry noticed Draco was helping Crabb and Goyle getting their time tables along with his own. Huh.
"A lot of classes together this year, actually.", Harry hummed, amazed.
"Hufflepuffs are the biggest house, Ravenclaw the smallest, with Gryffindor and Slytherin are equal numbers. Third years are cut up in a way the classes won't be too crowded. Hufflepuffs often get their own classes for third year and up or the house is chopped up into parts for different classes.", Blaise explained.
"Good to know. Wanna head off to class while Draco is busy?", Harry asked.
"Lets.", the other two agreed.

After two weeks of school he had two assignments and one large assignment in the making. Ancient Runes asked for a report on the first three chapters of 'The Difference of Modern and Ancient Runes', due in a month. Transfiguration asked for a foot long essay on the basics of Transfiguration which they had studied in their first year due in four days just to make sure the class understands it all. History of Magic asks for a report on the entire History book at the end of the year. Basically, Harry would finish it all easily. Other classes promised more work on the basics as they venture further past the introductions of the subjects. Either way, Harry knew that students would be behind in certain subjects due to the uneven schedule of all of the subjects, making it show who either worked the hardest or hardly put effort in at all.
Harry had come a way with the ritual as well. He managed to sneak into the Restricted Section of the library and was able to open quite a few books that had given little screams before going silent. He was nearly caught multiple times but he was just too good to get caught. Okay, he may have been growing an ego but he deserved to have one after being able to finish the design of a ritual that would bring a bodiless soul back. Okay, sure the ritual depending on the Philosophers Stone when he had in the necklace he had been using to create the 'bodies' for Tom and Voldemort which he still totally understand. He guessed that the power of the stone brought the pieces of soul to 'life', to say. Either way, the stone necklace was crucial in it all.
At the thought of a stone necklace, he gripped the onyx stone hanging off the chain from his neck. He gave a hum. He couldn't wait for the day he no longer needed to wear it. The day he could flaunt the real him happily, but even then he was scared. He looked a monster. He snorted. He knew once he reached his creature maturity, he wasn't going to care anymore. He knew he was going to go through a crucial change once he turned fourteen in more ways than one. Personality, attitude, looks, power, and he would gain so many new abilities. He sighed, depressed at the thought a bit. He didn't want to change too much.
Harry shoved the depressing thoughts away, and decided to continue his actions. He was dressing for the Hogsmade trip today. He couldn't wait! He planned on getting as much candy as possible, as well as some more books.
He hummed, flicking his hair behind his back. Instead of just a ponytail, he ended up just letting it flowdown. Looking in the mirror, he scowled at the hint of femininity in him. He hated how it seemed to grow more and more obvious with each passing year. Luckily, he did have that touch that alerted people he was a boy. Usually it was the scowl he had when he wasn't his hatchlings/friends or brother. He knew that back in muggle school, many sensed he was a boy simply because of his scowl and sneer. He sighed, wondering why he got such a lean and petite figure added onto his femininity. The femininity did go down when he hair up in a ponytail, or even better cut to his shoulders. He decided that he would have to get a haircut as soon as possible.
Nodding, he twisted around and left his dorm room.

"Woah Harry, what's up with your hair?", Draco asked, amazed.
"Shut up, won't you?", Harry glared.
"All you need is some red lipstick, eye-liner, and some ribbons and you'll be a princess from a story book.", Blaise teased.
"Shut up, won't you?", Harry glared, running his fingers through his long hair.
"If you want it cut, there is a barber in Hogsmeade.", Theo said.
"Really? I'll have to take a peek, then...", Harry smiled.
"We're planning to hit Honeydukes first, then we are going to look at the entire village for good spots for the next years.", Draco stated.
"That's good. I prefer somewhere loud and busy, since when it's loud and busy you'll get minumum attention.", Harry grinned.
"Agreed.", Blaise hummed.
"So, where will be going first? The barber or to Honeydukes?", Theo asked.
"You three can hit at Honeydukes and I'll meet up with you. After getting tons of candy, we'll find somewhere to simply talk.", Harry shrugged.
"Planning it all out.", Draco teased, smirking.
"Oh, shush you.", Harry glared.
~o~0~o~
The magical barber shop was amazing, to him at least. Vials filled with tons of different colors, some see through some thick, some were even simply powder. The floor was checkered in black and white, the walls being bricks that were painted on to make it look like actual bricks but if you touched it, you would be met with the smooth surface of the walls. It had a seemingly purposely peeling poster up on the wall, telling prices for everything you get done with your hair.
Harry, looking at the offers for streaks, decided that he would get streaks in his hair later on maybe. He would like to add green and/or yellow on his bangs, perhaps. He shook his head, driving away the thoughts that he deemed unworthy of his attention.
"Excuse me, I would like a simple haircut.", Harry stated, handing over the ten galleons that they asked for.
"To what length?", the woman asked kindly, leading him to a chair. Once he sat down, she pulled out a few vials and a pair of metal scissors.
"I want it cut to my shoulders.", Harry stated.
"Would you like the free softener? It makes your hair like silk.", the woman grinned.
Harry paused before answering yes, though he knew he would end up regretting later on.
After she put in a thick creamy liquid into his hair, running it through the strands smoothly, she waved her wand and Harry's hair became drenched before she waved it again and it dried. He raised the pair of scissors, and smoothly cut through his thick strands of hair. The moment she cut off one chunk, it waved perfectly to his shoulders. She continued, before she added in a clear liquid from another vial to his roots. She scrubbed it in gently, before waving her wand again and his hair became drenched before she dried it off once again. After all of that, she ran a brush with a silver metal handle decorated in gems through his now shoulder length hair.
"There you go, sweetheart.", the woman smiled.
Harry grinned, seeing his hair short. It seemed darker but he guessed it was the 'color insurance' thing that was free onto the haircut, and his hair actually did look softer to the touch.
"Thank you.", Harry smiled.
"Of course! Come back again, maybe when you want more done? Your hair is just lovely.", the woman smiled, waving to him as he left.
~o~0~o~
Harry found Blaise and Theo but no Draco at Honeydukes.
"Nice hair.", Theo commented, picking up a Every Flavor Beans and placing them into his basket.
Harry rolled his eyes, already filling his basket with Blood Pops and other candies.
"Super Gum?", Blaise murmured, eyeing the package of bright pink gum. He shrugged and put it into his own basket.
"Where's Draco?", Harry asked.
"He decided to go mess with your brother, aided with Crabb and Goyle.", Blaise stated, placing a pack of ten Chocolate Frogs into his basket, walking through the bright candy shop.
"Really? Maybe I should go-", Harry started.
"Harry, didn't you say you wouldn't get involved?", Theo cut in.
"Maybe...but still.", Harry sighed.
"Don't worry. Let's finish candy shopping and go to Hogshead, I believe it'll be our spot just like many others of Hogwarts.", Blaise hummed.
Harry nodded, though still worried he pushed it away, adding more Blood Pops into his basket.
~o~0~o~
Harry went back into his dorm later that day with a grin. He placed the stone necklace onto the diary and locket, and watched as Tom and Voldemort formed.
"That's a lot of candy.", Voldemort commented, immediately leaning back into the pillows while Tom eyed it all with a frown.
"My god, if we weren't magical I would be worried about diabetes for you.", Tom commented.
"Whatever.", Harry snorted, popping a Blood Pop into his mouth with a hum, "By the way, the ritual is all completed. I know how we can do it and everything. We just need to get Marvolo.", he stated.
"More than that, we need an actual plan.", Tom sighed.
"What are the most complicated things about it? I mean, what is going to be the hardest to complete?", Voldemort asked, taking a Blood Pop for himself.
"We need my blood and at least one Horcrux, both of which are easy. The third item is the blood of the one who caused the soul to loose its body. Meaning, we need my brother's blood. Unwillingly.", Harry sighed, "I tried to fix that little issue, but it's impossible. A mate decided by soul's blood will balance out the ritual, whatever Horcrux or Horcruxes would give the bodiless soul a good youthful body, the stone added more youth onto it all while it gives all the power needed for the ritual and will give the new body of the bodiless spirit a great healing ability, and the blood of the reason the soul lost its body is so that it finds the date in which the body was destroyed and resurrects it to a certain point for the rest of the ritual to change it. Explaining it like this is a bit out of order, obviously.", Harry explained easily.
"Makes sense.", Voldemort stated.
"True. It's going to take planning. We're going to play enemy with your brother to get the blood unwillingly, though. Why does it need to be unwilling?", Tom frowned.
"I truly don't understand the reason, yet I do. It has to do with balancing the ritual out. With the stone in place, it causes a large amount of Light magic and blood unwillingly taken adds enough Dark magic as to not change Marvolo's magical core.", Harry answered.
"Hmm...this year isn't going to be good. We need to have a distraction of sorts, but first we have to find Marvolo.", Tom sighed.
"When will we go into the Forbidden Forest, then?", Voldemort asked.
"After Halloween, before Winter Break.", Harry stated, "I'll bring Kira and Yuki with me. They've grown so big, I can't even carry them around anymore!", he pouted.
"We got just over two weeks before Halloween, seeing as it is October tenth.", Tom sighed, "We better start planning a bit, so that we have more to offer Marvolo."
"Of course. For now, I'm going to eat my candy and cuddle.", Harry shrugged, already snuggling between Voldemort's legs, opening a Chocolate Frog.
Tom shook his head though a smile was on his face, he leaned forward and kissed Harry's forehead before wrapping his own arms around Harry's waist.
They might as well relax when they can.
Authors Note:
I feel like it took forever to write this chapter! Though it was only a few days since I last updated, it feels like it's been forever...
Either way, I'm happy to say that the story is progressing nicely!
This chapter is a bit shorter than the rest, maybe a hundred words less than 3k words but I can't stretch it out anymore without making it seem obviously-obvious, ya know? Yeah well, I'm off to surf Tumblr as the fangirl I am. PEACE!
