Harry's Brother

Chapter 1

If was the first day back to Hogwarts from the summer holidays. The whole school was in the Great Hall for the sorting ceremony. Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat at the very front of the gryffindor table so they can watch the ceremony, for all the past ceremonies they sat at the very end of the table because they didn't like the ceremony, but this year was different. Over the holidays Harry had received a letter from his godfather, Sirius Black. The letter clearly stated that Harry had a long lost brother that would be entering Hogwarts as a first year. Harry sent a letter back to Sirius saying why didn't he tell him earlier. Sirius replied that he just found out himself.

"Wont they start the ceremony already!" exclaimed Ron
"Ron be patient, I hope he is in Gryffindor... I could teach him how to be smart just like me" said Hermione.
Both Ron and Harry rolled their eyes.

The stage curtain opened and there was a, old, patched up, witch hat. The hat began to speak. This was nothing new for the upper years but the first years had looks of excitement, horror, and astonishment on their faces. Harry, Ron, and Hermione remembered how they felt when they were first years.

After the hat had finished its traditional song the hall burst into applause.

"Which one is your brother?", Ron whispered to Harry as they both looked at the line of first years.

"I don't know" said Harry.

All three of them got into a deep conversation on how Harry's Brother had also gotten away from Lord Voldermort.

"Potter, John"

Harry, Ron, and Hermione stopped dead in their conversation and turned their heads to the stage. They watched John walk onto the stage, sit on the stool, and place the hat on top of his head. The whole hall gasped in amazement. There were whispers coming from every direction "He has a brother?" "Did that hat just say potter?", "Oh no... not another one"

John spotted out Harry at the gryffindor table and waved. Harry waved back uncertain how John knew what he looked like.

As soon as Harry waved back the hat shouted out "GRYFFINDOR!"

Ron, Harry, and Hermione lead the Gryffindor table into applause.
John took of the hat and walked of the stage. As he made his way to the gryffindor table there were more gasps. He had the same scar as Harry on his forhead!

"Over here!", said Harry.

John took a seat in between Harry and Ron. John and Harry stared at eachother with out saying a word for a whole minute.

"The ceremony has ended please go up to your common rooms and get some rest", said Dumbledore.
