The Family Who Lived

What if the Potters didnt change their secret keeper? What if they survived? What if Neville Longbottom was the boy who lived? How would this affect the story? DISCLAIMER I DONT OWN HARRY POTTER OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS. Inspiered by A Better Life.

1. Neville Longbottom- The boy who lived

Inspired by Better Life

Sirius Black ran into the Potter house. JAMES! He yelled! LILLY! "What what?" Lilly asked running in with Harry in her arms and James close behind her. "You need to change your secret keeper." Sirius said. "We trust you" James said. And that was that Sirius quickly calmed down and they spent the day hanging out together.

That night Voldemort had a decision to make. He must kill the two young boys Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom but which one first? Then Peter Petigrew appeared. He was one of his death eaters. "What do you want?" Voldemort snarled. "I um um um I just wanted to let you know um the Potters um they have um preformed the um fidelius charm um I can get there but it is physically impossible um for me um to tell you where um they are." And with that Voldemort's decision was made for him.

So later Voldemort showed up at the Longbottom home. So Neville was left an orphan as Alice Longbottom had preformed the same sacrifice Lilly Potter would have. So Neville was left an orphan and on the Longbottoms will they said Dumbledoor was to find a place for Neville to grow up. Dumbledoor showed up at the Potters house that night. "Lilly, James?" He called out, "YES" James responded running in. "Voldemort has been defeated. Frank and Alice Longbottom have been killed. But the boy survives" Dumbledoor stated quite calmly "Oh no! Alice was Lilly's best friend and Frank was so nice oh so awful, but the boy lived?" James asked. "Yes the boy lived and I was wondering where you think we should send the boy?" Dumbledoor asked. "The boy lives because of his mother's selfless sacrifice. So he must grow up with blood relatives. He has his grandmother but I don't know how that would go because frankly she's quite rude. The only other relative is his mother's squib brother.". "Well I guess the brother then." James said. "Exactly what I thought." said Dumbledoor smiling. "Well good night James" and with that he disaperated.

Neville Longbottom was left with he Uncle and Aunt who hated magic and him. Never knowing he was special. Never knowing he was the boy who lived.

Hope you like it. I had to leave him with the brother so he could be kind of a Harry but idk if his grandmother was actually rude! PLEASE REVIEW
