Chapter 2 - WHO ARE YOU?!

Jesse was the first to react. He ran over to Harry and started to check his vital signs. Heartbeat, breathing, etc. was all fine. Jesse felt his head. He took a pretty hard fall to the ground and he could have a concussion. Having found no serious damage done to Harry he gently lifted him up so he could take him to the infirmary. He had one arm under Harry's knees and the other behind the boy back. Harry experienced a 'Magical fuse explosion' if you will. His magical reserves were going to be quite low for awhile. Jesse looked towards Dumbledore accusingly.

"Why didn't you tell me he knew Sirius was innocent?" Jesse asked. Dumbledore shrugged, apologized, and told the younger man that the thought never struck him to tell Jesse that. Jesse just shrugged and waived off Dumbledore's apology. Jesse and Dumbledore walked out of the classroom only to find the rest of the 5th year Gryffindors crowded around the door. Dumbledore told Jesse to take Harry to the hospital wing while he took care of the rest of the Gryfindors. Jesse gently brought Harry's head to his chest and smoothed down his hair marveling at how much he looked like James. (A/N: Ha! He's not James! In your face. lol.)

Before Jesse knew it he was at the door to the hospital wing. He pushed the door open and called for Madame Pompfrey. (A/N: I can't spell so don't yell.)

"Jesse Pavel Potter, what in gods name are you yelling about!" Madame Pompfry scolded him as she walked out of the office. Jesse looked around the room for a few seconds afraid someone had heard her.

"Madam Pompfry, I thought everyone told you not to call me that. People will start to wonder you know with the whole last name thing." Jesse said. Madame Pompfry waived it off.

"Who do we have here?" She asked him. "Ah, the other Mr. Potter." Jesse swore she was doing that just to annoy him. Jesse placed Harry on one of the beds.

"Ok fine, but when someone starts to ask questions it's you who are going to give the answers." Jesse sighed in frustration. "Harry had a magical breakdown. He saw a boggart of Peter Pettigrew" Jesse spit the rat's name. "His magic just got away with him. I think he even put the Cruciatus curse on the boggart." Jesse looked a little scared of Harry at this point. Pompfry checked over Harry and just stated that he needed rest and relaxation and he would be back in classes in a week. She also warned him that Harry would be more prone to disease.

"Why don't you take him to your rooms? You do have an extra bedroom." Pompfry told him. Jesse gave her a look that said 'You are crazy right?'

"I would, Madame Pompfry, I really would, but Dumbledore said that he didn't want Harry to know yet." He explained.

"Oh, come on; tell me you didn't se that godforsaken twinkle in his eyes when he said that. He's just asking you to break his own rule." She told him. Jesse smiled before carrying Harry out of the hospital wing.

Jesse Pavel Potter's Personal Quarters were down the hall from the Gryffindor common room and chance and luck were on Jesse's side because moments before all of the Gryffindor 5th years were just entering through the portrait and would have seen Jesse carrying Harry.

Jesse's rooms were in Gryffindor colors, naturally. When you first open the portrait after saying the password (Brave Lions) you see a large room. It's a living room/kitchen. There's a cozy fireplace to the left with chars and couches situated in front of it. To the right is a small kitchen table and counters including all the essentials of a kitchen: A microwave, an oven, a stove, a sink, and a refrigerator. They were all run by magic of course. Through a door by the kitchen area was Jesse room and connecting bathroom. It was decorated in dark greens and browns. Straight ahead across from the portrait was another door. This door lead to the guest room which, up until now, had not been used. It was decorated in dark greens and blues.

Jesse decided against putting Harry in the guest room for now. He wanted to keep an eye on his young charge. Jesse gently placed Harry on the couch in front of the lit fire and put a pillow behind his head. He walked over to the kitchen area so he could start to make something for dinner.

"You're a Potter?" Jesse jumped at the noise and dropped the plate he had been holding. It seems as though Harry had been awake the whole time.

"You were awake the whole time? You had me worried sick!" Jesse yelled in frustration. He turned to clean up the mess and didn't see Harry flinch.

"I'm sorry but I wasn't exactly awake. I could hear everything but I couldn't respond." Harry tried to explain.

"It's alright, Harry. I'm sorry I yelled. I'm just a little stressed out right now." Jesse looked over at Harry who was peeking his head over the couch. He walked over and sat on the couch. He figured Harry deserved an explanation.

"So we're related, right?" Harry asked him cautiously. Jesse looked over at Harry and sighed. He just nodded. "Umm…how… are we related?" Harry asked him.

"I'm your Uncle. I'm your Father's brother." Jesse told him. Harry just nodded, stunned.

"Wow, I have an Uncle." Harry stated. Jesse laughed and Harry realized how stupid he must sound.

"Don't you live with your aunt and uncle?" Jesse asked. Harry shivered in disgust.

"I don't like to think of them as being related to me." Harry told him. After what had happened over the summer Harry thought even less of them. Jesse laughed remembering that he had met them a few times.

"I'm sure they love you way deep down." Jesse told Harry. Harry was trying not to laugh.

"Ok yeah sure, Come over there one day and I'll show you my old…room." Harry was referring to the cupboard under the stairs that served as his bedroom for ten years of his life. Jesse looked confused but just waived it off.

"Well, if I have anything to say about it, and if you want to, you don't have to go back." Jesse said nervously hoping that Harry would want to live with him instead of muggles.

"Can I ask you something first?" Harry asked him. Jesse just nodded. "Why didn't you take me in before? I could have lived with you this whole time instead of them." Harry seemed a bit perturbed.

"Harry, I'm really sorry. Dumbledore wouldn't let me. He wanted you to grow up as a muggle so you couldn't live with me." seeing the hateful look on Harry's face, most likely directed towards Dumbledore, he also said "I don't think the ministry would have allowed it either." Harry looked at him questioningly "I had to much of a criminal record." Harry looked stunned "Just small things. Theft, destruction of public and private property, disturbing the peace,, and things like that." Jesse explained. "I'm really sorry"

"I understand." Harry said "I'm sorry for getting so testy. The thought just struck me you know. Then I thought back on how my life could have been better." Harry said with his head down finding the couch very interesting.

"Hey, It's alright. But remember you're only fifteen you have at least three years left to hang out with your cool Uncle." Jesse said trying to cheer Harry up. Harry laughed a bit before trying to stifle a huge yawn.

"Come on, let's get you to bed. You had a magical breakdown and you need rest." Jesse said sternly. Harry started to fall asleep on the couch. Jesse laughed slightly. "Oh no you don't. I'm getting you into bed. Come on." Harry wouldn't budge.

"I'm sorry. I'm too tired." Harry apologized. Jesse said 'It's ok' and picked a half asleep Harry up off the couch. Jesse picked him up differently this time. He wrapped both arms around his back and brought him to his chest. He smiled when Harry snuggled up to him and laid his head on his shoulder. But frowned again when he noticed how light Harry really was. When he was carrying him before he couldn't feel all of Harry's body but now he could almost feel all of Harry's ribs poking through his clothes. Now that Jesse thought about it Harry looked more like he was ten rather than fifteen. Jesse brought Harry to the blue and green room and tucked him in after taking off his glasses and shoes.

"Thank you." was the last thing Harry said before falling completely asleep. Jesse smiled. He walked out of the room smiling but it disappeared when he noticed a certain pissed off Headmaster sitting in one of the chairs in front of the fireplace.

"Professor, what are you doing here?" Jesse laughed nervously. Oh, yes, Dumbledore was mad.

"I was informed by a certain medi-witch that you had taken a certain 5th year Gryffindor to your rooms." Dumbledore's eyes were as cold as icicles. "I thought we agreed that we wouldn't tell him until Christmas break." Dumbledore Jesse suddenly changed from nervous student to protective family member.

"We didn't agree on anything, Dumbledore! I told you I wanted him to know from the beginning! But no you know just what everyone needs don't you?! It's bad enough the ministry didn't let Remus be his legal guardian and now you have to make him wait almost a whole 'nother month for a suitable gaurdian?!" Now Jesse was mad. He was enraged. 'How could he do this?!'

"The Dursleys are suitable guardians." Dumbledore responded calmly. From Harry's actions earlier Jesse very much doubted that.

"Suitable guardians my ass! From what I've heard I very much doubt they even care about him, not to mention love him! It's outrageous that a person of your exceptional IQ can't see this, can't see him! Have you even looked at him lately?! It's an amazing feat that people don't call him stick boy! Do you even know how much he weighs?! I doubt they even feed him from the looks of it!" Jesse was done with his rantings and was now seriously embarrassed. Dumbledore looked at him from above his half moon glasses. It looked as though the ice in his eyes had melted and they were twinkling once again.

"I'm sorry, sir." Jesse said looking at the floor. Dumbledore just smiled and waived it off.

"I don't think it's me you need to apologize to." Dumbledore told him. Jesse looked confused until the headmaster pointed to the guest bedroom doorway where a yawning Harry was standing.

"Oh god was I yelling that loud? I'm sorry, Harry." Jesse said before collapsing onto the couch.

"It's ok. I wasn't all that tired anyway." Harry told him. Jesse smirked at his nephew.

"Tell that to your twin. You know the one I had to carry to the bedroom." Jesse joked. Harry blushed and sat in one of the chairs covering his face with his hands in embarrassment. Dumbledore chuckled. Jesse was seriously confused with Dumbledore's change in personality.

"Were you really that mad, sir because after I started yelling you seemed to be all jolly again?" Jesse asked confused. Dumbledore just smiled before answering.

"You where your emotions on your sleeve when you yell, do you know that?" Dumbledore asked. Jesse just looked at him confused. Harry was confused too.

"My goodness you didn't see it? Either of you?" Dumbledore asked in mock stun. They both just shook their heads. Dumbledore stood up from the chair.

"It's something most people know as Parental Protection Mode. When faced with the fact that I didn't want Harry to know who you were it just kicked in. You'll get use to it." He said before leaving the room. The two Potters smiled.
