A/N: I'm gonna be updating a lot more this week since on break and have
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE to do! I'm stuck here babysitting my little bro for
the week.
Thanks to Lirael: Draco is going to be one of the main people in the story; JerseyGirl03; LittleEar BigEar's sis; PheonixFire; MaggieDB: No, well, at least no one who is old enough to go to Hogwarts this year *winks*; Star Mage; kittygirl220; k00lgirl1808; Tini for reviewing.
Ch4: A Rose By Any Other Name....
~"I know it's hard, Harry", the ancient wizard said soothingly. " But you need to know." Harry just closed his eyes and nodded.~
After getting their bearings back together, the group sat down to make plans for Harry's future.
"Now, there's just one more problem." Albus began, but Harry cut him off.
"Let me guess, I have a twin step-sister who is the aunt of the King of Australia?"* Dumbledore let out a small chuckle.
"No, no, it's just", at this he turned serious. "Many of Voldemort's supporters are still out there and would do anything to finish the job their master started. Do you understand?"
Harry nodded calmly, but he was thinking 'A bunch of evil, power-crazed wizards after me? Sure sounds like fun.'
Dumbledore continued "But, they are only after Harry Potter." Harry looked confused for a minute before it clicked.
"So, if I wasn't Harry Potter..." Dumbledore smiled at him.
"Exactly. If we change your name and looks, no one would have to be any the wiser about who you really are."
"Alright. What do I have to do?"
"I want you to try something. Okay, close your eyes and envision what you want your new look to be."
Harry concentrated. 'Let's see, light brown spiky hair and just make my eyes a little less bright. More hazel. And get rid of the scar. There.'
"Got it?" Harry nodded. "Good. Now, wave your hand in front of you're face and focus on that happening." Feeling a little foolish, Harry complied. With a tingly feeling, he could feel his hair lengthening. When he opened his eyes, Dumbledore held up a small mirror. The Boy Who Lived was amazed to see the changes had taken place.
"Wicked", was all he could say.
But the professor wasn't paying attention. "I thought so", he muttered. At seeing Harry's confused face, he broke off his mumbling's. "You still need to pick a name for yourself."
After thinking for a few seconds, Harry responded. "My mother's last name was Evans right." Albus nodded. "What's my middle name?"
"Andrew."
"How about Evan Harry Andrews", and then he added "But everyone calls me Andy for short." Then, Miss Weston spoke up from her desk.
"How did you think that up?" she asked, refering to the nickname. Harry just grinned.
