Chapter One: James's Twin.

Harry woke up and rubbed his scar. It burned like hell. 'Where am I?' Harry thought as he sat up. 'I

can't believe I fell for it. How could I be as stupid as to pick up an unexplained gift, I should have

known better.'

"Hey, are you okay?" asked a voice above Harry. Harry looked up slightly annoyed and opened his

mouth about to say something and then left it hanging open.

"Dad." he said hardly audible. "I mean, James Potter?" He said in a quick recovery trying not to

scary him. He made to stand up but his legs said otherwise and he fell on his butt before he was

halfway standing.

"Well yes I am James Potter, but I'm almost sure I've never met you," he said helping Harry up and

letting Harry get his balance.

"Oh! Umm well we've never really met in person," said Harry finally actually looking at the young

version of his father. He looked a lot like Harry himself, he was almost the exact same height with

the same scrawny build the same jet black hair that was messed up like he had been on his broom all

day but of course James had different eyes than Harry.

"So I guess I'm as famous as I thought" said James unable to keep his smirk from showing. "I told

Lily that I wasn't just being conceded, well at least I wasn't being as conceded as usual."

Harry cracked a grin 'Well at least he's honest, sort of' he thought knowing that his dad had been a

bit of the top dog at his school, and that he had been a little, okay unbearably, cruel to Snape. "Oh is

Lily here with you?" said Harry that realizing this had to be a little weird and made him look like a

real stalker.

James looked at him funnily for a second and then said "Yeah she got here a little bit ago. She's at

the Bank now. So you know Lily to?" He gave Harry another funny look than turned around to see

if Lilly was coming or not.

"LILY OVER HERE!" he shouted as he saw Lily half way down the steps of the bank.

She smiled when she got to James and then turn to Harry slightly surprised and smiled kindly at him

"Um James who is this?" she asked trying her best not to sound rude.

"Oh Lily this is ummm...." he said looking at Harry unsure. "What did you say your name was

again?" he took Lily's hand and laced their fingers together with a smile that showed that he was

obviously glad to see her.

Harry felt slightly uncomfortable staring at his parents holding hands and smiling at each other.

"Oh, um me?" he stuttered "I'm Harry, Harry..." he didn't want to give his real name. He knew it

would make his teenage parents wonder.

James looked at him I bit of annoyance in his face. "Well do you have a last name or are you just

Harry? Ow! Lily!" he yelled as Lily punched him in the arm for being rude.

"Oh," said Harry "I'm Harry Green." he turned pretending to cough and made a face at his pathetic

excuse of a last name he had just created. He chanced a glance back at Lily and James and saw that

Lily was staring at him thoughtfully. She glance at James and at him a couple of times and then

nodded.

"You know what?" she said to herself as much as James and Harry. "You guys look a lot alike. I

mean you look close enough to be related." She smiled and looked at James, "Looks like you've

found yourself a twin."

"Yeah, James, I agree. He looks just like you except..."

"Shit! James, look at his eyes! They're just like..."

"Lily's!"

"Mooney, can't you let me finish a sentence?"

"Well you interrupted me in the first place Padfoot."

Remus Lupin and Sirius Black had just arrived and noticed Harry's uncanny resemblance to James.

"You two, can you ever shut up? Where's Peter?"

"He's over there with Lily."

"Harry, who are you really. I mean you look too much like me to just be someone who happened to

show up. Besides, you look like you're in your fifth year and I've never seen you before."

"I was born in London and we moved to America. I'm an exchange student that was sent here

because my parents died. And I'm in my sixth year not my fifth."

'Ok, not a complete and total lie, my parents did really die and I am in my sixth year.'

"Green, do you play Quidditch?"

Now there was a subject that Harry was comfortable with.

"Yeah, I'm a Seeker. By the way, what house are you guys in?"

"Huh?"

It was a moment that showed Harry how much of an adolescent his father, Sirius, and Remus really

were. Lily was the only one who responded.

"Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest are all in Gryfindor. I'm in Ravenclaw."

"Hey! I resent that!"

"So, Potter, you found yourself a new friend. I bet he was just as much of a loser as you."

"Shut it slime ball. He's way better then you."

"James, cool it. Just walk away."

"So, Potter, you need you girlfriend to tell you how to act? You're more of a child then I thought."

"Snape, just shut up. What did they do to you today?"

'Man, I hope that I'm not going to live to regret that question.'

Luckily, Snape turned and stomped away after giving Harry and James a look of sheer hatred that

Harry was so used to by now.
