"Harry its time to get up." called a voice that woke Harry.

//That didn't sound like aunt Petunia,// Harry thought.

He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, a ceiling that had a poster of the Puddlemere United on it.

This wasn't his room.

Harry rose from his bed to look around the unfamiliar room.

His bed sheets had also Puddlemere United on them and the walls were covered with posters of the same team.

"Harry are you up yet," yelled the same voice that woke him but a little louder this time.

Harry didn't recognise the voice but called back anyway.

"I'm up."

Harry continued to check out the room at the same time as several thoughts ran through his head.

He had fallen asleep at Privet Drive nr 4 and woken up here, wherever here was, but the voice that woke him wasn't his aunt, which was a good thing but he didn't know where he was, which was bad.

Since he wasn't in a horrible dungeon or worse, Voldermort was probably not involved.

The door to the room suddenly opened and Lily Potter entered looking angry.

"Harry why aren't you in the shower yet, breakfast is done and is fast getting cold," She said as she pushed a shocked Harry out of the room trough a long hall and in a bathroom.

"Now shower rapidly and then get dressed, if you want to get to Diagon Alley to meet Ron you haven't much time," Lily said closing the door after her as she left.

//What the hell was going on,// Harry thought.

He had fallen asleep as soon his head had hit the pillow for the first since he had returned from Hogwarts over a month ago and woken up in a strange room by his mother, now for most people that wasn't strange except for Harry as his parents have been dead for the last 14 years.

Harry looked at himself in the mirror.

"Get that hair under control," his reflection muttered.

Harry ignored the mirror, undressed and went into the shower.

When he had dried himself he tried to comb his hair, to no avail but he did get a surprise.

"My scar is gone," he gasped.

Just then a juvenile voice came from the other side of the door.

"Mum says that if you want to see Ron today you better hurry."

Harry returned to his room and opened the bureau drawer and pulled out a t- shirt and some jeans and put them on, and then he began searching after the kitchen.

//This house is large,// he thought after he had went down several stairs and finally heard voices coming from a room.

When he entered the room a sight that almost made him faint met him.

In the centre of a huge room were a large rectangular table where five people where eating, three kids and two adults, Lily and James Potter.

"Mum, dad," Harry said.

"Finally," his mother said as she rose from the table and dragged him towards a empty chair, "what is it with you today. Normally you would jump out of bed at the opportunity of meeting Ron."

"You haven't had a fight, have you," his father asked him worriedly.

"What, No we haven't," Harry answered absentminded.

He was looking around the table at the same time he ate and noticed that two of the children where twins and looked a lot like himself except they didn't have the glowing green eyes Harry had, instead their eyes were in the same colour as his dad.

//Our dad,// Harry thought.

They must be my brothers he realized and was filled with a warm feeling.

//He had brothers and parents, he had a family// Harry thought as his eyes were filled by tears.

"Harry what's wrong," his mum asked him now very worried.

"If you and Ron did break up, you can tell us, son," James said to Harry.

Harry wondered what he would say, should he tell them the truth?

He remembered what Hermione had said in their third year.

You shouldn't mixture with the timeline, and it was obvious that something had happened with the timeline so he decided to wait with the truth until he had found out what exactly have happened.

"No, Ron and I didn't break up. I just had a bad dream."

Lily was unconvinced but decided not to push him.

"In that case you better finish eating we're leaving in 10 minuets." James said.

"I'm getting my first wand today," the youngest child said excitedly to Harry.

"We know Danny boy," said one of the twins.

"You have said it repeatedly since you got your Hogwarts letter," the other twin finished.

"Stop calling me Danny boy, I'm eleven," he said to the twins.

"No you aren't," said one twin.

"You are only two years old," the other finished.

Harry watched his brothers as they quarrelled; he thought it was fun, he had always been jealous at the Weasleys for being so close to each other and even if he thought of them as his adoptive family there was things he couldn't share until now.

"Stop it," Lily said to the twins. "Remus go upstairs and get your cloak and you Sirius, finish eating then you can get you cloak."

One of the twins grumpily left the room while Harry thought that now he knew their names all he needed to do know was to find a way to see them apart.

When Harry had finished eating Lily told him to get his cloak while the house elves did the dishes.

//We have house elves. Hermione will not like that,// Harry thought smiling until he realized that he couldn't find his room.

He was lost in his own house.

Harry walked around the floor searching for a corridor that was familiar to him because he knew that his room was on the fourth floor but he didn't recognise the hall he was in.

He was about to check another corridor when, "What are you doing?"

Harry jumped of surprise and turned around to see who it was.

It was Sirius. "Don't do that," He said to him.

"What were you doing?" Sirius asked again.

"Err. I'm getting my cloak," Harry said.

"Aren't they in your room?" he said pointing at a corridor that looked familiar to Harry.

"Of course they are," Harry said and then he ran through the corridor that Sirius was pointing at.

Sirius looked as Harry ran to his room and then shook his head before returning downstairs.

Harry finally found his room and took his cloak from the hanger on the wall and was about to leave when he saw an article framed from the Daily Prophet hanging on the wall

The article read;

1 Hogwarts Wins Tri-Wizard Tournament



The Tournaments last task ended with a double victory for Hogwarts.

Harry J Potter and Cedric D Diggory both reached the Tri-Wizard Cup at the same time and claimed it for Hogwarts.

Complains come from the Durmstrang headmaster Karkaroff; Hogwarts cheated as they got two champions working together, its clear that Dumbledore doesn't think his students can't win single-handed against our champion Viktor Krum. One professor even cast the Imperio curse against Krum (It should be noted that the professor was Crouch Jr who used polyjuice potion to impersonate Mad eye Moody. see page 3 for further detail.)

The Beauxbatons headmistress Maxime had similar complains and added that this was the last time Beauxbaton send students to the Tri-wizard Tournament.

Mr Potter and Mr Diggory split the 1000 galleons between themselves but refused to be interviewed by our special correspondent Rita Skeeter (MIA).

//Cedric was alive,// Harry thought as he watched himself and Cedric waving from the picture holding up the Tri-Wizard cup between them.

Harry turned around when he heard knocking on his door.

"Harry, are you sure you want to go to Diagon Alley today," asked his mother from the doorframe.

"Yeah, I'm coming," He answered as he pulled the cloak on and went after Lily.

He was sure to remember were his room was so he wouldn't get lost again trying to find it.

When then reached the fireplace the entire family was there, waiting for them.

"Alright Harry, you go first." James said as he gave Harry Floo-powder.

Harry removed his spectacles, put them into his pocket, threw the powder into the roaring fire and then stepped into the fire and shouted, "Diagon Alley."

He felt as he was sucked through a vacuum tube and was spinning so fast he was getting sick, he had his eyes closed and tried to endure the roaring sound until he finally came out the fireplace at Diagon Alley.

His mother came out first and then Remus and Sirius followed by Daniel and their father.

As they all went to Gringotts Harry looked around Diagon Alley to see if anything else had changed but it looked as normal as last time he was there.

On the stairs of Gringotts stood the Weasley clan waiting for them except Mr, Weasley.

Ron ran directly to Harry.

"Could I speak to you privately," he asked Harry.

"You two can wait here while we go to the vaults," Lily said smiling to Harry and Ron.

Both the Potter twins and the Weasley twins sniggered as went up the stairs to Gringotts.

"I need to asked you something," they both said at the same time.

"Err. You first," Ron said awkwardly.

Harry removed the bangs from his forehead and asked Ron if he saw anything strange.

"Your scar is gone," Ron let out.

"Yeah and lets not forget that my parents are alive and I have brothers."

That's not all, my dad is Minister of Magic and it seems I have won a chess tournament for three years in a row," Ron said proudly, "what the hell has happened?"

Harry shook his head, "I don't know, the last thing I remember before waking up at home I fell asleep at the Dursleys."

Ron's voice lowered to a whisper as he looked around, "Do you think You- know-who is behind this?"

"Hardly, this world is heaven. I don't think Voldemort would send me here,"

Ron flinched.

"Don't say that name," he said through gritted teeth.

Harry ignored him and continued, "Cedric is alive, Voldemort is not reborn and Fudge is not Minister of Magic. And look around, do you see it."

Ron looked around but saw nothing unusual; people were scurrying around like always, paying them no notice.

"I'm not the Boy Who Lived here, I'm not famous. I'm just Harry" Harry smiled at Ron.

"What about Snuffles," Ron asked.

Harry blushed; he had forgot him.

"I don't know," answered Harry, ashamed of forgetting his own Godfather.

"You see, our life may be better but we have no idea how the rest of the world is," Ron said his voice rising.

"You begin to sound like Hermione," Harry didn't like to consider that Ron was right.

"As she isn't here some one must be the voice of reason, and beside we don't even know where Hermione is," Ron said trying to get Harry down from his euphoria.

"Isn't she in Bulgaria with Krum," Mrs, Weasley said as she and the rest of the Weasleys and Potters came down the steps of Gringotts.

Harry and Ron looked at each other before Ron said: "Yeah," and then under his breath "if you say so."

Daniel walked forward to Ron and then said smiling, "I'm getting my first wand today."

"Oh, you are, well good for you," Ron said clapping Daniel on top of his head and looking questioning at Harry, who mouthed Daniel.

"So, Daniel how do you feel at beginning at Hogwarts," Ron asked as they all began splitting up.

Lily and Molly took the twins and James took Daniel, Harry and Ron.

"It'll be fun, Remus and Sirius promised me to give me the Marauders Map and Harry said I could borrow his cloak," Daniel said excited, "Oh, and I cant wait to learn things too," he added after a stern look from James.

"Dad, while you and Daniel buy his wand could Ron and I go and buy our books?" Harry asked his father.

"Alright, we'll meet you outside Madam Malkin's," James said as he and Daniel walked towards Ollivanders.

"So what are we going to do," Ron asked Harry as they walked to Flourish and Blotts.

"Before we do anything we must check if something is wrong with this world," Harry said petulantly to Ron, "I don't want to change it just because its not our world."

Ron nodded to Harry and pulled him into his arms.

"I understand Harry," he said as Harry began crying on his shoulder.

Ron pulled Harry towards a bench and then sat down, with Harry still crying in his embrace.

"They're alive, loves me and accepts our relationship," Harry said when he had calmed down a little. "And I have always been jealous of your relationship with you brothers but know I have that too. I'm happy Ron and I want to share my happiness with you."

"Alright what if we do it like this, we ask our parents if I can spend the rest of the summer at your place and then we could send a letter and check if Hermione remembers anything. OK?"

Ron asked as he took Harry's chin in his hands and lifting his head so their eyes meat.

Harry mouthed Ok and Ron bends down a kissed him lovingly.

After the kiss they continued towards Flourish and Blotts were they bought their fifth years books and first year books for Daniel.

They then went to Madam Malkin's but James and Daniel hadn't arrived yet so they went in and bought new robes for themselves and then waited outside for James and Daniel.

"What else has changed in your family?" Harry asked Ron.

"Well, I don't know much about Percy as he has moved out, Fred and George are trying to gather enough gold to open their joke shop." Ron looked at Harry strangely, "That's strange, in this world we seem to have more money but they have less then they have in our world," Ron shook his head, "I don't know about Bill and Charlie but Ginny is normal."

Ron took Harry's hand in his own a caressed it.

"How shall we do to find out what has happened in the world," Harry asked.

"It pains me to have to say this but we must probably go to the library," Ron sulked.

Harry stared at Ron long like he never had seen him before.

Just then Daniel came running up to them with a wand in his hands.

"Look, I got my wand, it has a core of unicorn tail-hair, fourteen inches long and is made of willow. Isn't it beautiful," he said holding up his wand for them proudly.

Ron gasped, that sounded like his wand, he pulled out his own wand but saw that it wasn't the same wand he had in the other world.

Seeing that James was staring at him, Ron put the wand back in his pocket and listened as Daniel told Harry about his wand shopping.

". it took a very long time for him to find a wand for me but mister Ollivander told me that all Potters is hard customers," Daniel continued until James led him into Madam Malkin's shop.

"Harry, I don't have the same wand," Ron whispered as a large group of people passed them.

Harry took out his own wand and saw that he also had a different wand.

"Neither does I," Harry whispered back.

Harry and Ron made up planes to first send a letter to Hermione to find out if she remembered anything from the other reality and then search after a wizard library to find out the different between their world and this world.

When James and Daniel came out of Madam Malkin's shop they went to meet up with the others.

"Ron, if we should do this it's best if we work together so you should ask your mother if you could spend the rest of the summer home with me," Harry whispered to Ron and then added hastily, "If you want to."

"I love to see your house, you have after all spend two summers at our house, so you owe me," Ron smiled at Harry before taking Harry's hand in his own and pressed it gently.

They found the other group outside Quality Quidditch Supplies.

"Finally," Lily said when she saw James and company coming their way.

"Dad, can we get two Firebolts," Remus and Sirius asked.

James was about to answer when Lily cached his attention with shaking her head.

"I told you that you can get a Firebolt if you became members in Gryffindor Quidditch team," James said to his twins. "And besides there is nothing wrong with the brooms you have."

"Ah dad, they're Nimbus 2000's, they're nothing compared to the Firebolt," Sirius complained as they all walked away from Quality Quidditch Supplies and towards the Floo-network central.

While Harry was listening on Daniel showing their mother his wand Ron was pulling Mrs, Weasley away from the group, Harry guessed he was asking for permission to spend the rest of the summer with Harry.

Harry walked closer to his dad and interrupted his brothers complains.

"Dad, can Ron spend the rest of the summer with us?"

James look down at Harry with a grim look on his face.

"Of course he can, but you know the rules," he finally said.

Harry didn't know the rules but he couldn't say that so he only nodded to his dad while the twins snickered.

Ron returned to Harry, "Mum says it's OK as long as we follow the rules," Ron said, "what ever they are."

"I don't know either," Harry shrugged, "Can I return with you to the Burrow to help you pack, I'd love to see the new Burrow."

"It's not much different, my room is a little bigger and the ghoul that was on the attic is gone," Ron said, "But sure."

They had reached the Floo-central and Lily signed for Harry to go first.

"No mum, I'll help Ron pack his things at the Burrow," He said to his mother.

So Harry saw as his dad goes into the fire first, call Potter Mansion and he disappeared, next was Daniel who was followed by the twins and then at last Lily.

Mrs Weasley guided Fred into the fire and he said the Burrow and was followed by George, Ron and then himself.

When Harry came out the fireplace in the Burrow he heard Ron's surprised voice.

"What the.."

Harry turned around and was surprised to see
