The Other Twin
Disclaimer: Disclaimers stink, so here: I currently have 9 bucks and a blockbuster card in my wallet. I'm making no money, all characters aren't mine.
A/N: This'll be a longer chapter than the last, I've more ideas.
Wiccan PussyKat: Yeah, Harry is coming in this chapter. And you'd be surprised on what some of the characters will do. Romance fic, well I'm not sure. It will have it's points, but mostly, it'll be 2 cups angst, with a hint of action, a dash of romance (used sparingly), a sprig time-travel, a pinch of comic relief when needed, over medium heat, stirred counter-clockwise three times, for nineteen chapters.

"I love you Hermione. I always have, please, just see if you like me."
"Ha!" the giggling girl says while struggling to keep her composure. "I'm sorry George, but
Fred's so much better."

George's screams broke the ear-shattering silence in the hospital wing.
"George, are you ok?" The raven-haired boy looked quite worried.
"James?"
"George? You didn't even know my dad. Wait, did you? What's he like? How?"
"Umm… can I tell you about something later?" George asked nervously as Hermione entered the room.
"Yeah, sure. I'll leave you two alone." Harry added with a wink.
"Hi, George"
"Hey Hermione"
The conversation continued on as awkwardly as possible for two young people who fancy each other. That is to say, as uncomfortable as humanly possible

George avoided Harry for the next few days. Harry had come to Hogwarts three weeks early, after intelligence showed that Voldemort's followers would get him in the night. Voldemort could not hurt Harry in the Dursly's But his followers could.
George knew the prophecy. It was heard during a meeting of the Order of The Phoenix. George realized that Harry's life sucked. Fred stopped going to meetings, Angelina said she couldn't lose him if he fought in the war. She said it wasn't fair for her to lose him. George nearly slapped her when she said that.
What about Harry? What about Ginny? What about Percy? How bout Dumbledore? Cedric? he thought angrily. Their lives were all changed because of this war, and some of them the last war too.
Harry had to kill or be killed, without the support of any parental figure in his life. That wasn't fair. Ginny still had dreams about her first year, and many would never accept her because of what he made her do. That wasn't fair. Percy had to chose between everything he's worked for, and his family, Sure he made the wrong choice, but the decision still wasn't fair. Dumbledore's school was in danger, and in his old age, when he should have retired, he was fighting an evil dark wizard. Cedric never graduated. He died before he could take his N.E.W.T.'s or before he could get his first job. That certainly wasn't fair.
George sighed as he opened to the first page of the journal and started to read.
Sept 1
Dear Journal:
THIS ISN'T A DIARY!!!! Got that? Good. Well, I'm back at Hogwarts. Sirius stayed with me this summer, he ran away from home. I don't know why. I'd love to have people yell at me twenty four hours a day. Just kidding. He's had it rough, Regulus, his brother, died during the summer. They hated each other, but I never said I understood Sirius.
Remus told his girlfriend about his monthly secret, she dumped him, and told a bunch of girls never to go out with him. Poor chap. I feel bad for him.
Peter has yet to find his first girlfriend, but what did any of us expect. Baby steps, young grasshopper. But things are looking up for him. He can finally ride a broomstick without looking like a dweeb.
I started my search for my real parents, but it's not as easy as one would think. Since my real name is James Potter, its very hard to find anything on my birth parents. I do have a few clues, because I'm a Metamorphagus, and I'm pure blood for at least three generations. That helps a lot.
Full moon is tonight, so I have to leave soon to help out Moony. And dinner is calling, food is one better things in life, along with Lily, but I haven't yet seen her awake. I wonder what her problem is.
Food awaits me.
James
