A/N: Fine I changed it a bit, so that people would stop annoying me with their comments. The ending has been changed to something else that I like and was my second idea anyways, so the change isn't really a big deal. Have fun.
Chapter 4
The rest of the summer was spent reading all his books, and taking martial arts and violin classes. When September came, and classes began, Harry was busier than ever. During the week days, he would attend a muggle primary school before returning home to have magic class with his tutor, Geoffrey. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays were devoted to history, while Tuesdays and Thursdays were focused on Charms and Transfiguration. Harry was required to practice Occulmancy everyday in order to block his mind from all outside influences. Every Saturday Harry would have violin lessons, which he had to practice for at least twice a week. On Sundays Harry had martial art classes, which he worked on everyday to keep himself in shape. Even with all the work that he had to accomplish, Harry still found time to play with his little brother, and he was lucky enough to be present when Mark performed his first accidental magic. Towards the beginning of winter break, Harry had just finished his homework for the night, and he chose to spend some time with Mark before his bedtime. All of a sudden while Harry was trying to interest Mark in a stuffed tiger, a stuffed bear flew out of Mark's crib and into his hands. With a shout of joy Harry called his parents to tell them the good news. To say the least they were glad to know that Mark was magical; truthfully Michelle broke down in tears of joy at the fact that her baby boy would become a wizard. She was glad to know that she hadn't passes along her lack of magical abilities to her son. That night she and her husband set about adding another child to their happy family.
As the holidays passed and summer approached, Harry progressed in his studies, and the happy day came that he was able to complete his mental shields so that only a very powerful wizard would be able to break through them. Both sets of classes ended for the summer, although his lessons in the violin and martial arts continued. Harry had learned all of the magical history required through his fifth year of Hogwarts and he would no longer have to take that class. Also he was progressing splendidly in learning to speak Latin and French. His tutor gave him his supply list for the next year, which showed that he would be started Potions, Defense against the Dark Arts, and Herbology classes next year, while continuing his lessons in theory, Charms, and Transfiguration. Michelle discovered she was pregnant, and in September a baby girl, Elena was added to the family. The next year progressed just like the year before with lessons taking up much of Harry's time. Magic came easily to him, and he had a growing collection of books in his room. By the end of the school year, Harry was fluent in Latin and French, which greatly aided him in his spell casting and etiquette classes with his mother. Yet again at the end of the year, Harry received a supply list, which had added the subject of Astronomy to his many lessons. He also decided to learn Chinese, so that he would be able to learn ancient Chinese magic, which his tutor, Geoffrey had said to be the most beneficial magic to know.
Slowly, Harry began to master unarmed forms of martial arts, and he progressed to learning staff work from his Sensei. Also he became a master Occulms (spelling?), which helped keep at bay the bad dreams he had of his parents' death. Harry's third year of magical studies was much like his first two, except that it steadily got harder, and gave him less time to play with friends because he loved to spend time with his parents, brother, and sister. Summer came and went and Harry turned eight. Mark began his magical lessons with Geoffrey, while Harry gained a new teacher, Jason Green. With his new tutor, came new lessons in Arithmancy and Ancient Runes, while ending his lessons in magical theory. Elena was growing at a fast pace, and at Christmas she showed her magic by vanishing all the wrapping paper on her presents. This led to a huge family celebration as all the children were magical and wouldn't have to go through the pain of being a squib.
Harry's ninth and tenth year passed quickly in a round of muggle school and magical lessons. Harry learned to play the violin beautifully, while also learning how to use dagger and a katana. Occulmancy became a second nature to Harry, and he learned how to act like the perfect pureblood. Magical lessons showed Harry to be a strong wizard and he hadn't even reached him majority yet.
Time passed and soon enough it was July 31st, 1991, Harry's eleventh birthday.
At breakfast, a owl flew in through the window, and dropped a letter off in front of Harry, before perching itself on the window ledge. Looking at the letter, Harry saw that it was from Hogwarts and he promptly ripped it open. Pulling out the letter he saw that it read,
Dear Mr. Evans,
We are proud to accept you to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizarding for the coming year. We expect your answer by return owl no later than July 31st.
Sincerely,
Minerva M.
Deputy Headmistress
On the second sheet of paper Harry found a list of supplies and books that he was suppose to buy. Looking up at his family, he smiled and said,
"Looks like I'm going to Hogwarts this year, I vote that we go supply shopping today in Diagon Alley, as we also need to pick up Mark's books. If you'll let he send my reply, we can leave within a half hour," with that said he got up and sent his reply.
An hour later, the whole family was outside of Gringott's waiting for Michelle to come out with the refillable purse she had decided to get now that Harry was going to Hogwarts. Five minutes later she rejoined her family and they headed to Madam Malkin's to pick up new robes for Harry. Upon entering, Harry was led to the back where another boy was getting measured for his robes. Standing on the measuring block, Harry studied the other boy as he waited to be taken care of. The boy in question was around 5'4", he has platinum blond hair, and it was obvious to Harry that he was a Malfoy from his knowledge of pureblood families. The arrival of Madam Malkin herself snapped Harry back to reality. Turning to her, he answered her question before she could ask it,
"Yes I will be attending Hogwarts this fall and I will need the robes. I would like five school robes, three cloaks, and the hat. I would also like five casual robes, two formal, and one dress. They will be the same colors as last time, which you undoubtfully remember since they are the same as always and nobody could possibly forget the presence of my mother, I would like them to have the same spells on them as usual and if you have any more questions you may ask my mother, I believe that she is in want of new robes herself," and with that Harry had pulled off the perfect pureblood aristocrat act.
After being measured for his robes, he approached the blond boy and said,
"Hello, my name is Harry Evans. And you are?" holding out his hand in greeting.
"My name is Draco Malfoy. I don't believe that I have ever met you. Are you a pureblood?" they shook hands before Harry answered in response.
"Of course, could anybody who was not a pureblood know how to act as one. I didn't see your parents, so I was wondering where they were? "
"My dad is at the bookstore and my mom is looking at wands. Would you like to go with me?"
"Sure, I would love to accompany you. Let's gather up my parents and head to the wand store. We can always pick up our orders later."
Leaving the back room, Harry and Draco walked over to Michelle and told them of her wish. She agreed readily, although her eyes widen slightly at who was with her son. Soon enough they were in Ollivander's again where a woman that was clearly Draco's mother was located. Upon seeing Michelle, she lost her pureblood cool and gasped,
"Michelle, is that you. We haven't seen you in years. How are you doing?"
Draco and Harry, as well as Mark, were dumbfounded on what was going on before them. Michelle replied,
"Hello Narcissa. It is lovely to see you again. I have been well, this is my husband Edward. The boy standing next to your son, is my son, Harry, and before you ask, yes he is adopted. My other son is over there and his name is Mark, while my daughter's name is Elena. I expect that Lucius will be arriving any second now."
Barely a second had passed before the door opened to admit an older version of Draco. He was clearly shocked to see the woman in front of him. In the blink of an eye, he had her wrapped in a tight hug,
"My dear sister, it is lovely to see you again…."
The scene was repeated as everybody was introduced and everything explained. Before more could be said on the subject, Ollivander appeared and started looking for wands for Draco. After about ten tries he found his wand. It was 10 inches of ash with a dragon heartstring for a core. Turning to Harry, Ollivander said,
"My dear Harry, it is great to see you again, now take out your wand and let's see if it is still compatible with you."
Ignoring the looks from the Malfoys, Harry took his wand from his holster and handed it to Ollivander. After several minutes of examining the wand, Ollivander turned to Harry,
"It seems that you are indeed in need of a new wand. This is in worst shape than I expected. It is definitely not a wand for you anymore. The wands that I am going to show to you are wands of famous witches and wizards from the past," taking out a box from under the counter, Ollivander opened it to show ten old, but beautiful wands. "I need you to put your hand over the box, and the wand should come to your hand."
As soon as Harry did as he was asked, two wands flew into his hands.
"Interesting. It seems, young Harry, that you are truly powerful as you have called the wands of Merlin and Gryffindor to your hand," looking everybody squarely in the, he said, "Nobody is to talk of this to anybody especially not Voldemort or Dumbledore," everybody swore. "Now Mister Malfoy, your wand is 10 galleons. For you Harry, your wands are 60 galleons with the added amount of a wand holster for your second wand. Show nobody, but family this wand. It's very important that nobody learns of your wands or ability. Good day."
After paying for their wands, the two families decided to discuss what had happened in a more private setting later. For now they proceeded to go to the stationary store to pick up writing material for all the boys. Then they went to the trunk store to pick up a trunk and book bag for each of the boys. Harry bought a multi-compartment trunk that included a wardrobe, a huge library with a study area, a training room, a potions lab, and a storage area for all his other things. Both boys bought school bags that were bottomless, weightless, water/fire proof, and tear proof. Next they hit the apothecary for potions supplies, and stopped at the cauldron store for Draco (Harry already had his). Their second to last stop was Flourish and Blott's. Harry already had the first year books, but he decided to pick up new books on all the subjects he had studied before. He also grabbed some books on Divination, Care of Magical Creatures, Animagi, and Elementals. Mark picked up all the books for his studies, and Draco got all of his first year books. As an afterthought, both Harry and Draco picked up a copy of Hogwarts, A History. Their last stop of the day was the pet store. Draco picked up a beautiful black owl, while Harry picked out a pure white owl for his family to use. He got himself a beautiful cat. It was pure black, with bluish stripes, and a white lightening bolt patch on its forehead. After getting supplies for their animals, the whole group took the floo network to Malfoy Manor for dinner.
-----------------
Upon arriving at the manor, the adults headed to the parlor to talk, while leaving the children behind to play. Once the adults had left the room, Draco asked Harry,
"Would you like to see my room?"
Harry nodded an affirmative before the two boys ran off, leaving Mark and Elena to play with a house-elf looking on. Upon arriving at Draco's room they started playing like long lost friends, and in no time they were playing and getting to know each other. However their fun ended when a house-elf arrived to send them to dinner.
Dinner was a loud affair with everybody eating and talking and getting to know one another. All the children were asked questions about their studies, but nothing of great importance was discussed until after the meal. After everyone was finished eating, both families adjourned to the parlor to have a serious discussion. Once everyone was seated Michelle said,
"While you guys were playing and Draco and Harry were getting to know one another, all of us adults gathered to discuss the situation as it is. For the benefit of Draco, I will begin the story at the beginning. We used to live at number 5 Privet Drive in Surrey. Then one night Dumbledore appeared on our street and left a baby, a magical baby, at number 4 Privet Drive. I knew that we could not let the child grow up there because the people who lived there were beyond normal, they made it their life's work to be normal and I knew that a magical baby would not have a happy life at the house. Therefore I took that baby and my husband and I adopted him in both the muggle and magical world. That baby is and was Harry James Potter. After we adopted him he became Harry James Edward Potter Evans," at this point she stopped and Lucius Malfoy continued with the story.
"From what I gathered when I heard this and other information I have received from the Ministry. Everybody, including Dumbledore, believes the Harry is still with his muggle relatives in Surrey. Nobody knows that Harry Evans is in fact Harry Potter, and we don't plan to tell them. It is safer for now that Harry remains and Evans and nobody is the wiser except our family. We have decided that both Harry and Draco should be in Slytherin house because Draco's godfather is the Head of House and he will protect you guys from that meddling Dumbledore. Harry is going to have to tone down his knowledge of magic, but he is still allowed to beat everybody else in all his subjects, he is just not allowed to show all of his knowledge. This will draw unwanted attention to him. For now that is it, however if Harry wants to he is invited to spend the rest of the summer here, and his family will meet him at King's Cross to say goodbye before school. Also is Harry doesn't mind Narcissa and I would appreciate it if he taught Draco Occulmancy."
Draco and Harry started a whispered conversation as soon as the speech was over, and amongst themselves they came to a decision. Draco said,
"We have decided that Harry will return in two days with all his stuff to spend the rest of the summer here. Also he would love to have his parents see him off, and he already knows that he will be in Slytherin. Next, it has been decided that he will begin to teach me Occulmancy two days after he arrives, while I will teach him how to fly. Also he would like to take part in my lessons in the Dark Arts. Now that this is done, we will be going to my wing, so that I can show Harry his room."
All the children left, leaving the parents behind to discuss their plans in greater depth. Even though they already had precautions pertaining to Harry's scar, muggle make-up spelled to resist water and not smear, covered by a glamour, so that if one failed, the other would still cover the scar. With that precaution in place there was still the matter of his eyes, which were the exact same color as his mom's. Finally it was decided that Harry would wear color contacts, which would make it seem as if his eyes were a brilliant blue. The only other problem would have been his hair, if it had retained its original style (messy and uncontrollable), but over the years his hair had grown to brush his shoulders. If all went well nobody would ever associate Harry Evans with Harry Potter. After sending a House-elf to fetch the children, goodbyes were said and the Evans flooed home.
