Chapter 1: The Plot Hole
SOMEWHERE IN SCOTLAND…
Harry Potter was in a bit of a pickle. He and Voldemort had been dueling in the courtyards of Hogwarts for the better part of two hours, and the surrounding terrain was already starting to dissolve. Between that and the combination of the large cracks in the horizon line, the evidence of an unstable reality was all there.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Voldemort cried.
"SSSSSECTUMSEMPRA!"
the two spells collided. The resulting magical explosion was enough to tear the already unstable reality to shreds. A gold field of magical energy surrounded them, and they both stared angrily at each other, refusing to back down.
The meeting point of the spells hadn't moved an inch, and the field of energy was rapidly shrinking, and was now about three square meters across and about as tall as Hagrid, bless his soul. At this point, the white ball of magical spell energy was traveling towards Voldemort, and was about to hit him when there was a loud, screeching noise, followed by what sounded like a soundtrack of both of their lives played in reverse.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, YOU IMBECILE!?" Voldemort screamed, as the noise increased in volume.
Harry shouted "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW, YOU WANKER!?"
"DID YOU JUST CALL ME A WANKER?"
"OF COURSE I DID MOULDY VOLDY!"
Then as suddenly the noise had started, it stopped and the spells dissolved. There was absolute silence, and then, there was light and another noise - this time it was the noise of the entire reality crashing down around them - and a large void opened up beneath them.
As they fell they stared at each other. "Where are we?" Harry asked.
"I believe that the magical community calls this a 'hot pole' or something." they both stared at each for a moment, and then the void got dark, and then it brightened.
Both of them started to rapidly change in appearance and laughed at each other. Then Harry said, "What in the name of merlin are you laughing about?"
"How easy it will be to beat you when you are 4 foot 6.'" Voldemort wheezed.
"Says the man who's 3 foot 8'."
"Is that a challenge?"
"I dunno is it?"
"Yes it is you petty idiot."
"Bring it on then."
Harry threw a piece of reality and hit Voldemort in his face, following up with a bone breaker and an aguamenti and a freezing spell that morphed the water into a hundred tiny ice needles. Voldemort blocked the needles and shot a killing curse at Harry.
"AAARRRRRGGGHHHH!" Harry screamed in agony, as Voldemort shouts with glee.
"Ha, foolish boy, thinking that you could win against the dark lord Volde-" Then Voldemort gets hit with another bone breaker and a curse that causes great pain.
"AAARRRRGGGHHHH!" Voldemort screams in pain, and shoots fiendfyre at Harry, who feeds it with his own fiendfyre.
Harry and Voldemort then reach the end of the hole and fall through into different places in time.
THREE HOURS LATER…
I opened my eyes and screamed. I was being held by someone I didn't know. It took a moment to gather my bearings and realize that I was no longer inside a hole that existed in a rip in the space-time continuation, but in the arms of a green-eyed redheaded woman, with a black haired blue-eyed man looking at me from the side.
"He's beautiful, James." the woman said.
"I know Flower, I know." the man replied.
"I swear I know these people from somewhere." I thought.
I tried to recall how I knew them, when it clicked. "I'm in a magical hospital. These people are my parents." I thought. I immediately stopped crying, and thought: "These people are James and Lily Potter."
POTTER COTTAGE, ABOUT THREE MONTHS LATER…
Me and my younger brother were playing with my godfather, Sirius Black, and having a wonderful time, when my dad tensed up. "That's strange," I thought, dad was usually a happy and care-free person. To see him tense up like this had me worried.
"You okay Prongs?" Sirius asked
I guess sirius noticed as well. Glad to see that he wasn't too preoccupied.
Dad cursed. "Lily! Take the twins to the nursery and get out of here!"
"Woah, James slow down, what's going on?" Mum questioned.
Dad, ever the orator, replied with a scared look in his eyes. "No you don't understand, HE is here."
Sirius still looked confused, but Mum got what he was saying and scooped me up and ran up the stairs. When we reached the nursery, she used her wand to carve weird looking shapes all over me. They didn't hurt but I did feel a surge In my magical core. As she worked, sounds of Dad and Sirius dueling with someone protruded the silence that once filled the house.
After about 30 minutes, the noises suddenly stopped.
After another 5 minutes a man in a black cloak burst into the room, and mum immediately stepped in front of the crib that I laid in.
The man said to my mother "Step aside Lily."
"No, take me instead! Do what you want with me, but just don't hurt Harry!" Mum replied.
"Very well. I will do what you wish." the man replied, and shot a red spell at Mum, who accepted it with gratitude.
The man walked up to the crib and -
Outside, in the village of Godric's Hollow, the cold, crisp silence of the autumn night was shattered by a magical explosion of epic proportions that came from the Potter's cottage.
This explosion would baffle the Unspeakables for two decades. They were left with questions about what had who the blast, what the blast came from, and why the blast occurred.
10 YEARS LATER, SCOTLAND…
Dumbledore was planning his year. He did this every year, but this year was going to be special. This year, The-Boy-Who-Lived, Henry Potter would be coming to hogwarts. And his twin brother, Harry, would also be coming this year.
Dumbledore wondered if Harry would hold it against him for abandoning him at the Dursleys. Maybe he should have actually looked at the Potter's will instead of just dumping young Harry with his closest living relatives. He would have given him to Sirius, but he had disappeared, leaving nothing but a note that said "Check the will. I wasn't the Secret Keeper."
Dumbledore had Madam Bones do exactly that, and the note was true. Sirius was indeed innocent. Where he gone off to, was a different story. He just assumed that he went muggle and kept an eye on Harry. But enough about Harry. He needed to plan for Henry, who had been taken and been looked after by his godfather, Remus Lupin.
Henry was going to be tested by Dumbledore, who wanted to make sure that he had a strong enough magical core. If he didn't, well… he'd think of something eventually.
He always did.
MEANWHILE, AT REMUS' HOUSE…
Henry Potter was looking forward to the Hogwarts Experience. He was excited to take the classes and doing whatever it is that hogwarts students do.
Remus had taken him in as an infant, after his parents died. During that time, Remus had told him about his condition, him being a werewolf and all, and taught him how to be an animagus, so that Henry wouldn't be endangered. Remus had told Henry about his parents and his older twin, who had been "taken in" by the Dursley's. This morning, however, was the morning that he would get to finally go to hogwarts, and with that in mind, he rushed to get ready and ran downstairs.
He ran into the kitchen, where Remus was making breakfast. "Good morning cub!"
"Morning Remus!" Harry replied, pouring himself a glass of orange juice.
Remus finished making breakfast, made Henry and himself a plate and sat down. "you ready for Hogwarts?" he asked.
"Absolutely. I'm just beyond excited about it."
"Just remember the golden rule" Remus said with a small grin.
"Don't get caught?" Henry said with a staight face.
That gave Remus a good chuckle. "yes, but that's not the one that I'm talking about."
Henry paused with a look that read 'I'm deep in thought' look on his face. "Don't pull harmful pranks on people?" Henry said.
"No."
"Don't be biased against slytherins?"
"Nope."
"At least try to do well in classes?"
"Nada."
This went on for about ten more minutes until finally he had the answer. "Have fun while also pulling lots of pranks?" Henry asked, exasperation showing clearly in his voice.
"Yup, I can't Believe that it took you so long to think of that." Remus said with mock disappointment.
After breakfast was finished, Henry and Remus left for Gringott's to pick up some money and after that, they went to Fortesque's for some ice cream. Then finally, the moment arrived, and Henry said goodbye to Remus, and got on the train, full of anticipation and excitement for what's to come.
UPSTATE NEW YORK, U.S.A
"Potter, Harold." The name rang across the hall, breaking me out of my thoughts. Like with the other kids, the hall was completely silent. So silent in fact, that you could hear the silence screaming louder than an extremely loud redhead mother of seven, rapping into a megaphone in front of a microphone that is linked to the loudest amp in the world.
"HAROLD POTTER!" the voice shouted.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT!?" I shouted right back just as loud, if not louder than the voice did.
The person owning the voice muttered "Dang, that boy has pipes." The man (he was definetly a male) looked a bit surprised if not shocked. "It's your turn to be sorted. Please come and sit down on the stool." he said.
The croud of first years parted and sure enough, there was indeed a stool and a man, wearing a green cloak, rippling in the wind (we were indoors, so that should't be possible), and wearing a gold medallion in the shape of a gilded.. nose. But he was also hovering in the midair.
I walked up to the stool and sat down. The man put his hands on the sides of my head and entered my mind.
"Hello Mr. Potter, my name is Professor Wade Weird." he said to me.
I stopped him from sorting me. "Wait a minute, will you remember everything you see in here?" I questioned.
Professor Weird didn't miss a beat. "No I will not. I am under a voluntarry memory erasing charm and a magical vow stating that if I do somehow remember anything, I cannot tell anyone anything." He replied.
The headmaster was silent for a minute, then gasped and stepped back in shock.
"Something wrong professor?" I said to the man, who was still reeling, by the looks of things.
The headmaster regained his composure. "No, Mr. Potter, everything is fine."
Somehow, I didn't believe him.
Professor Weird was quiet for another half of an hour, when he suddenly shouted "THUNDERBIRD!" and lighting cracked. I knew I was home.
A.N: Hello people. If you are reading this then that means that you have finished chapter one of book one of seven or eight-ish. This is actually my first attempt at fanfic, and if this suprises you then thank you. You have flattered me. I prefer the shorter chapter with more updates approach, so I will try to do a weekly thing, and if not, then expect an update every other week. I mean I am only a freshie (in high school), and don't have much spare time. Anyways, if you want to read another good story in the works, check out my Brother's story, Harry Potter and the Path of the Warlock, by the "Licorice Lord". Anyway, buh-bye!
