I do not own Harry Potter, only the OC

Hello guys, Badger here. I have a different Harry Potter story for you all today. I have read stories where Harry is either in a band or someone who has no interest in playing hero. In this story, I decided to combine the two. This is an idea I have had brewing for a while, whilst writing the Goblet of Fore era for A different Hogwarts experience. Expect quite a bit of swearing, smoking and drug taking throughout this story.

I won't keep you waiting any longer. Read on, I hope you enjoy and I will see you at the end.

Chapter 1

Revelations and Confessions

Voldemort sneered at the crying red head that was currently snivelling at his feet. The boy was nothing more then a pathetic excuse for a wizard. Though, the boy was useful for giving himself a new body. It was easy to get the boy into the Tournament and get him to the graveyard. When Voldemort was whole again, he immediatley grabbed the crying child and used the Cup to head back to the Castle, where everyone stood in shock, no one making a move as they looked at Voldemort in fear. Though that didn't stop him from putting up some shields just in case. Cackling, Voldemort used the Cruciatus Curse on the boy once more, before looking up at the old wizard who had his wand pointed in his direction, waiting for the shields to drop.

"Its ironic" He spoke in a silky smooth voice "That you call yourself the greatest wizard alive, Dumbledore, yet in your wisdom, you deemed this weak, pathetic child as the prophesied one, my equal…I must say, it's quite insulting"

"What are you talking about Tom?" Dumbledore asked, looking at him in confusion "Aiden Potter is the Chosen One, he was the one who vanquished you that Halloween night"

Dumbledore kept his wand firmly pointed at the Dark Lord, along with others behind him, waiting for the shields to drop. He needed to save Aiden. He was the only one who could defeat Voldemort. In all honest, he was a bit disappointed that Aiden had been defeated so easily, then again the boy was only fifteen. Still, Dumbledore was going to have to train the boy harder. Voldemort merely laughed.

"This brat is not the one who defeated me" He said, only to laugh even more, the very thought amusing him "this child cowered behind his brother…a raven haired child, with the eyes of a warrior, I immediatley knew he was the one, I sense great power within him. If it wasn't for the prophecy, I would have taken him in, as my own, to train him"

Dumbledore refused to believe what Voldemort was saying. The man had to be lying. Harry Potter couldn't be the Chosen One. After the attack, Dumbledore had scanned both of the twins and Harry had no magic within him.

"You are lying!" Dumbledore yelled "He was a squib!"

"A squib?" Voldemort repeated, before he laughed again "That child had power that surpass both of us combined….did it never occur to you that, after using a lot of magic to protect himself and his brother, that his magical core was merely depleted?"

Dumbledore paled, whilst James and Lily Potter gasped behind him. The wand in Dumbledores hand began shaking, as he pondered Voldemort's words. How did he never take that into consideration? After scanning the twins, whilst Aiden's core was average for a child of his age, Harry had none whatsoever. James and Lily also informed the aged headmaster that Harry hadn't shown any signs of accidental magic. Voldemort smirked, as he flicked his wand, sending Aiden flying into a nearby wall. Lily screamed, rushing to her son, to see if he was okay. He was still alive, but he was pale, blood was dripping from his mouth and he was shaking from the effects of the Cruciatus. Voldemort sneered at the sight, before his voice rang across the surrounding area, where everyone could hear it.

"Believe it, your 'leader of the light' Albus Dumbledore, made a mistake" He said "He deemed the wrong twin the saviour, banishing the real saviour to the Muggle World, as he was believed to be a squib…don't worry, I will find the child and explain to him why his parents threw him away…imagine, the true saviour of the Wizarding World, as a loyal Death Eater…for 14 years you have worshipped the wrong child, for Harry Potter, is the true Chosen One"

Smiling at those around him, he apparated away, where chaos started immediatley afterwards, everyone scared and confused at what just happened.

Dumbledore sat at his desk, as he pinched the bridge of his nose. After Voldemort disappeared, the Tournament was immediatley cancelled, with the other two schools immediatley leaving and the other Hogwarts students heading home. Dumbledore immediatley called an emergency meeting for those in the Order of the Phoenix, consisting of; Arthur, Molly, Bill and Charlie Weasley, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, Alastor Moody, Frank and Alice Longbottom and James and Lily Potter.

"Lily, how is Aiden?" Dumbledore asked

"Stable, but he is pretty shook up" Lily replied, rubbing her bloodshot eyes "Poppy had to mend three broken ribs, and a fractured wrist…he currently has a mild concussion and is still suffering the after effects of a Cruciatus…she says that once he is awake, he can be moved to Grimmauld Place"

"Albus, is it true, what Voldemort said?" James Potter asked

Voldemort's words had been in his head ever since the man disappeared. He had thought back to that Halloween night over and over again, wondering what they had missed. Dumbledore lowered his head slightly, speaking after a few uncomfortable moments.

"I don't know what to believe" He said "I scanned both boys that night, only Aiden shown signs of magic…not once did I consider Harry's core being depleted after protecting himself and his brother from the Killing Curse"

"You are going to have to explain this to me" Bill Weasley spoke up "I wasn't aware Aiden had a brother"

"Not many people knew of Harry" Sirius spoke up, a sad look on his face "He was born a few minutes before Aiden and immediatley, we knew they were different…whilst Aiden was born kicking and screaming, Harry didn't make a sound, he just stared at everyone with those beautiful green eyes that looked as if they were looking into your soul"

Sirius put his head in his hands, as he thought about his godson. He wasn't there when Harry was given away, but he had refused to speak to James and Lily for several years after that. Even now, things were icy between them. He could never forgive them for taking away his pup. They just had to ask and he would have raised Harry as his own. He wouldn't even hesitate. It didn't matter to him if Harry was a squib or not. Remus rubbed Sirius' back. He too, hadn't forgiven the Potters for taking Harry away. As a werewolf, he always views Harry as if he was one of his cubs and would give up his life to protect him.

"After we received word that Aiden had supposedly defeated Voldemort, me and Sirius went to visit them, in the Hogwarts Medical Wing" Remus explained, sending a glare at the Potters "We were confused to see James and Lily fussing over Aiden, with Harry no where to be seen…they informed us that Dumbledore declared that Harry was a squib and they agreed to get rid of him"

"They didn't even seem upset about it" Sirius spat "They felt like Aiden would be held back with a squib brother and that Harry would grow spiteful over Aiden for having magic, we begged them to tell us where he was, offering to raise him ourselves, but they refused, insisting that Harry was better off without us…things between us have never been the same after that!"

Lily shrank in her seat, flinching at the disgusted looks she was getting. She loved Harry, but she only doing what was best for him.

"It wasn't like that" She said "It wouldn't have been fair on Harry"

"If I had given birth to a squib, I would do everything in my power to ensure that they knew they were still special and loved" Molly Weasley spoke up, finding herself unable to look at the Potters the same way anymore "As a mother of seven myself, I would never just dump a child somewhere…getting rid of a child just for being a squib is something the Malfoys would do"

"We didn't want to get rid of Harry, but it was the right thing to do" James Potter replied "It killed us to give him up"

"Sure it did" Sirius muttered darkly

"If the boy is in fact a wizard, surely a Hogwarts letter would have been written to him?" Mr Weasley asked

"Well…" Dumbledore coughed "I admit, there was a letter written to Mr Potter along with Aiden's, but at the time, I believed it was a mistake…"

"A mistake…the quill that writes the letters was charmed by the Founders of Hogwarts themselves, it does not make mistakes…all this time, we have been training the wrong child" Alastor spoke up "He needs to be found and trained so he can defeat the Dark Lord, before he finds him first!"

"I'm sure that conversation will go splendidly" Snape snapped "'Hi Harry, we are sorry that you were given up because you were believed to be a useless squib, but we now know you are the Chosen One and now we need you to help those who threw you away'…I'm sure he will gladly accept us all with open arms"

Snape still couldn't believe that this was the same Lily he knew from his youth. Not once did he imagine the woman he once loved throwing away her child. Lily, meanwhile, started crying as she realised Severus was right. There was no chance that their son would ever forgive them for what they have done.

"Regardless, I agree with Alastor" Dumbledore said "Harry needs to be brought back, before Voldemort finds him first…if what he said is true, Harry could win the war for the dark side if he joins them"

"Just save us all the trouble and tell me where my godson is and I will get him myself!" Sirius yelled, slamming his hands on the table

"We…we left him with my sister and her husband" Lily said, quietly

This time, it was Severus who slammed his hands on the table, as he stood up, looking at Lily, his eyes pleading for what she said to not be true.

"Are you insane Lily?" He yelled "What were you thinking sending Harry there? Your sister hated everything involving the Wizarding World, don't you remember how she treated you after your received your Hogwarts letter? What makes you think she would look after him!"

"Severus, enough" Dumbledore spoke up "Now is not the time, we must retrieve him quickly, for his own safety…seeing as you are…acquainted with Petunia, I think you should be the one to retrieve him, though send a messenger if you need assistance"

Severus nodded stiffly and, after being given the address, apparated away.

Many miles away, at a pub in London, a band was playing on stage, with the crowd going wild. The band, titled 'The Outcasts', seemed to pop up out of nowhere, but over the last few years have grown to be one of the most popular Heavy Metal Bands of all time. Not to mention the female fans found the singer, as well as the main guitarist, quite attractive. The singer, who goes by the name Lightning, stood at around 5ft and 8 inches, with a thin yet muscular build, smooth wavy hair, going down to his lower jaw, that was raven black with a green streak, as well as bright, enchanting, emerald green eyes. On his right arm he had a tattoo of black mamba coiling around an arrow, and a Phoenix spiralling around his left arm, as well as tribal tattoos around his neck. The singer also had a scar on his forehead, shaped like a lightning bolt, which is where his name came from.

The guitarist, who went by the name Ace, was different. He was quite skinny, with a thin face, standing at around 6ft. His hair was shoulder length and was a vivid purple and his eyes were a bright Hazel, mixed with green. Like Lightning, he also had tattoos, consisting of his own snake tattoo going all the way down his right arm, though his was a grey snake coiling through pink flowers. He also had words tattooed on both his hands. His right hand read: 'Cut the Bullshit', whilst his left hand read: 'Stay true to yourself'. On his left shoulder, he had a tattoo of fox, its tail coiling around his arm, as well as a 'cut here' tattoo, around his neck. If anyone chose to look closer, they would notice that the fox tattoo, as well as both of their snake tattoos seemed to move and shift ever so slightly. Then there were the bassist and drummer, twins named John and Andrea, who went by Hound and Ghost on stage, both of them had darker skin, with black hair, but John had brown

eyes whilst Andrea had blue eyes. As the band finished their final song, the crowd went wild, as Lightning blew a kiss to the audience.

"Thank you" he said into the microphone "thank you all for coming and showing support, you're all fucking amazing, beautiful, people…we hope you enjoyed and we will see you at our next gig"

The crowd cheered and begged for autographs as the band made their way off of the stage. Lightning gave Hound and Ghost a hug, before the two made their way back to the bands tour bus, whilst Ace stayed behind.

"I must say Lightning, that was a fucking brilliant gig" he said, offering Lightning a lit cigarette, which Lightning accepted "I'll be heading back to the bus in a moment, if Aila asks where I've gone, tell her I'm off to see the manager and collect our payment"

Lightning nodded and watched Ace walk off to the managers office. He took a few more puffs from the cigarette, before stamping it out on the ground and walked onto the bus and into the private bathroom to clean himself up a bit. As he splashed water on his face, Lightning brushed his hair away, where he gazed at the scar on his forehead. For Lightning, the scar was a blessing and a curse. He remembered that day. The day that Voldemort attacked his family, tried to kill him and his younger brother Aiden. He may go by the name of Lightning, but his real name is Harry Potter. For whatever reason, Voldemort failed and left that scar on him. The next thing Lightning knew, he was casted away, sent to the Dursleys, who treated him horribly. Starved him, verbally assaulted him. At the age of seven, he ran away when their abuse turned physical and hasn't seen them since. He always held hate for his parents for throwing him away, but he never had hate for Aiden. His brother wasn't involved and didn't deserve his hate. Lightning could only hope that, one day they will see each other again. Lightning also knew that he had a Godfather named Sirius and another Uncle called Remus. Like Aiden, he didn't hate them like he did his parents. Sirius and Remus weren't there when he was casted aside. Maybe one day he'll see them again.

It was shortly after running away, where he met Ace, who's real name was James, and his sister Aila, the two of them being the last of the Badger family. The two had also run away, when their careers the Albright's had passed away and Social Services tried taking them in. When he told the two that he was Harry Potter, they told him everything about the Wizarding World. It was just the three of them for about a year, living and hiding in the streets, before they met John and Andrea, who had run away from an orphanage where the headmistress was a cruel, abusive woman. They three had told them about the existence of magic and while the two were shocked and didn't believe it at first, they have kept their word and not told a soul about it. When they were eleven, James received his letter to Hogwarts. Harry expected to get one and never did, so James ripped his up, not wanting to leave Harry behind. Aila did the same thing a year later, as she was a year younger then James.

It was shortly after, when they then formed, what soon became, The Outcasts. As they were a fan of metal music, they started playing songs on the streets, using instruments they stole, hoping to earn some money. People actually enjoyed their music and within a year, was asked to play in a small pub, that was the day The Outcasts were truly born. Now three years later, they were breaking records, selling albums, hitting the number 1 spot of favourite bands and artists, attended concerts and festivals and have featured on the cover for more then one hundred magazines. They were a smash hit.

One things for sure. Whilst his real name was Harry Potter, he will never be Harry Potter. That boy died the same day he was casted aside and abused for years. Lightning was his true name and identity. Lightning loved the life he was living.

And nothing was going to change that.

And that is the end of chapter one for Ace and Lightning. What did you guys think?

I am trying something new with this fanfic. As of yet, I have no idea how long this story will last or how it will play out, but I'm sure it will be an amazing ride. I know it may be a 'Wrong Boy-Who-Lived with Harry being sent away' cliché, but I enjoy a few stories with such a cliché and find it interesting, if it is written well. When it came to the band name, not only did I find it fitting, but it's also the name I would use if I was in a heavy metal band and I would love to be in a band on day…I just need to learn to either sing or play an instrument.

There will be James Potter, Lily Potter and Dumbledore bashing in this story, so expect quite a bit of it in future chapters. Now, to avoid confusion between James Potter and James Badger, Harry Potter and James Badger will be referred to as Lightning and Ace in this story, instead of their actual names, like Lightning said, Harry Potter is dead. I thought it would be the best way to avoid confusion.

That is all for now, I hope you enjoyed and I will see you in the next chapter and other stories I may or may not make.
