Chapter 6: Secrets Unveiled and Pasts Remembered 2

He couldn't move, it was like his body had seized up and everything was moving but him. Time had stopped as his eyes stared at the heading, going over it until he had to blink. The paper dropped from his grasp as he slowly sat on the ground. He stared straight ahead thoughts zooming through his head faster then the speed of light.

How? That was the question that came replaying itself over in his head. How could Neville be the Boy-Who-Lived he had the scar not Neville. Or did he? Harry instinctively went to rub his scar, except all he felt was unblemished skin. His breathing started getting heavier as he jumped up and conjured a mirror. He stared horrified at his forehead as he moved his bangs out of the way. Slightly tanned skin stared challengingly back at him, his scar was not there anymore.

Suddenly he felt lonely, lonelier then he ever had before. He could feel no extra presence there or dark magic residue. The scar he had grown up with was no longer there, something was wrong and he realized that this just became serious. Now as he thought about, the last thing he remembered was lying down by the lake and wishing he had a different life and happily wished for his destiny to go away. It all clicked this was no joke; the world he had grown up in and sacrificed his childhood for was gone. His world had left him and sent him to a world where Voldemort never came after him.

He banished the mirror away before sitting down back by the newspaper that had just ruined his life, or did it? Could he finally have the normal life that he always wanted? He was young again, couldn't he just sit back and let someone else's life be ruined? The truth in the matter is he knew he couldn't he was raised as a saving people person, he could try yes but the Neville he new would die of fright by the simple task. He could never let him do that but Neville had the scar now didn't he? So who was Harry to say what Neville could and could not do?

All he could do was wait for the events he knew would come as he had come to the conclusion that not much else had changed. He would make sure know one would die but nothing else, he would work hard and get a regular job, like a regular person. Deep down though he knew he could never be normal, so he would be careful with his actions. The sidelines, he would work behind the sidelines letting nobody find out his plans. Last time he had lost everything to Voldemort, this time he knew everything that Voldemort would do.

A chuckle resounding from the mouth of the eleven year old amusedly. All this time all he had to do was wish and he could have gotten anything he ever wanted. The Ginny wouldn't have died…wait Ginny is still alive and Dumbledore. He smiled when a small tear came down his face happily at that single thought.

Harry stood and then realized he had just one problem with his plan. He was short to put it simply and weak. He would have to fix that because strength meant power, his hair would have to change too. He had figured out if it was longer then it was less messy because it got weighed down.

"Well mine as well get started now," muttered Harry to himself before walking out of the room with the urge to go find his parents. His parents that sounded like heaven to his ears, a bright smile came to his face as he heard humming coming from the Living Room.

His mom was in the kitchen humming a song he didn't know as she twirled her wand. She was knitting a scarf or that is what it looked like. She didn't notice Harry come in and kept on humming cheerfully. Harry smiled before going to sit next her on the couch happily.

"Hey um…mum," murmured Harry uncertain of the reaction he would get. Lily jumped at being addressed as she swore she didn't hear anyone come in. She smiled surprised at her son who usually went outside or stayed up in his room during the day.

"Hey Harry do you need something?" asked Lily with a small smile on her face. Harry shook his head with his eyebrows furrowed confusedly. "Are you hungry?" asked Lily again but was once more surprised at the shake of his head. "Well then what do you want?" asked Lily confusedly as she tried to think of something that she may have forgot to do, but Harry didn't look mad.

"Well I just want to watch you," Harry muttered with a small smile. He couldn't help it his mum looked wonderful just sitting there with a confused expression. Lily's eyebrows flew up at the comment; she shook her head to clear her thoughts.

"I am sorry what?" asked Lily once more as she could have swore her son that never liked talking to her, actually wanted to just watch her.

"I want to watch you mum is that alright because if it isn't I wont I just-" started Harry worriedly. His mum looked so surprised at him he couldn't help but mumble at his mum looked at him suspiciously before nodding slowly.

"No its fine Harry you can watch me," said Lily slowly as if she was talking to a mental patient. Harry smile grew as he lay back against the couch and put his feet up and tucked them neatly beneath his bottom.

"So what are we doing today?" asked Harry as smiled widely at his mother. Lily looked up from her needle and at Harry slowly before shaking her head.

"Nothing just staying at home, Remus and Sirius may be coming over later though," answered Lily truthfully as she set down her knitting. "Cyzelena was going to feed the Pegasus's outside and I just put Zykye down for a nap earlier," continued Lily as she put her hair up in a high ponytail. "Rico will be home soon from the Weasley's as he spent the weekend there with Jenny," added Lily thoughtfully as she too put her legs up and beneath her in a swift motion.

"Oh…yes Rico and Jenny," replied Harry awkwardly as he remembered back toward the painting of his family. Rico must have been the seven year old boy but who was this Jenny? Last time he remembered the only girl Weasley was Ginny, though that was in his time.

"So what do you want for dinner tonight dear?" asked Lily breaking Harry out of his thoughts. Harry blushed at being cut off guard before furrowing his eyebrows in thought.

"Um whatever you want is fine," murmured Harry softly as he heard a loud cry from the room next to him. He glanced behind him warily and noticed an open door before turning back toward his mother who looked worried. "May I get him?" asked Harry tentatively as he looked back longingly at the open door.

"Well if you really want to dear," answered Lily with a small proud smile on her face as she looked down at her eldest. Harry's face brightened before he hugged his mother and took off toward the door.

Harry opened the door further before walking in and shouting it quietly behind him. He smiled as he saw a crib in the corner of the room. The room was a light blue with animated animal crawling on the ceiling. Harry walked over to the wailing baby and looked down upon his brother.

"Hush Zykye," whispered Harry as he smiled lovingly down at his brother. The brother he had never had in his world. He picked up the small child and cradled him to his chest protectively. The skin of his brother felt like petals in the morning with dew clung to them. Zykye sighed contently and settled down into his brothers arms. Harry rocked him back and forth before sitting down on a rocking chair.

He looked down into his brothers closed eyes and let a few tears escape his emeralds. He sniffled as he thought about this life, the life he could have had, the life he now had. He had a family who loved him and everyone was alive. He couldn't help but laugh as a memory of when he had first met Ron and Hermione.

He neither noticed nor took the time to care that he was being watched as he sobbed quietly. Lily shut the door silently before walking off to find James to talk about Harry. She couldn't believe that her Harry was crying and she hadn't seen him cry since he was a baby. He looked so innocent holding Zykye as he looked down at him genuinely.

The Harry who she raised was mean and disrespectful to everyone he met. Worst then that, Albus Dumbledore had come to their house earlier that year announcing that Harry couldn't go to Hogwarts. He told her and James that Harry was a squib, they still hadn't told Harry.

She reached James's office and knocked quietly before entering. He was sitting down at his desk looking over some paperwork but looked up as he heard a knock. James smiled as he saw his wife and motioned for her to come and sit down. Lily smiled as she sat down by her husband with a resident sigh.

"James it's about Harry," muttered Lily as she brushed her robes off gently. James looked worried before taking off his glasses and pinching the bridge of his nose tiredly.

"What did he do now?" asked James as he replaced his glasses. He looked back up at Lily who was glaring at him disappointedly.

"Why must you always assume the worst?" asked Lily rhetorically as sighed once more before leaning back in her chair and putting her feet into James's lap.

"Well if it isn't bad then what is it?" asked James curiously as he took off Lily's shoes and started rubbing her feet.

"He doesn't seem different to you?" replied Lily with her eyebrows furrowed as she inwardly relaxed as her stress left her feet.

"Well a bit calmer and more cooperative," James said absently as he gazed at his wife questionably. "Except when he attacked Peter," added James with a slight chuckle at the image of his son attacking his friend.

"That wasn't funny James," reprimanded Lily but she had a small twinkle in her green eyes. "No what I mean is he just doesn't seem like Harry," whispered Lily with a sad note in her voice. She then told James about what she had seen in Zykye's nap room and about her conversation with Harry before then.

"Well maybe he has finally grown up," suggested James as he put Lily's shoes back on and stood up. "Come on Rico should be home in a minute," said James as he picked up Lily who was laughing as James tickled her unmerciful.

James took her out of his study and back down the hall which echoed with her laughter. He finally stopped tickling her and set her down on the ground when they reached the living room again. Harry was sitting down on the couch reading a book when they walked in.

"Harry there you are, how about we go and play some quidditch?" asked James with a large smile plastered on his face. Harry set down his book before walking over to James quietly and looked up into his father's hazel eyes.

"That would be great dad," said Harry as he smiled as well. James looked relieved and grabbed Harry's shoulder and started walking when he noticed Harry wasn't. "But let's wait first for Rico to get home so he can play too," added Harry as his father's questioning gaze. James and Lily looked surprised at the comment but nodded nonetheless.

"He will be flooing over so let's go wait in the Floo Room shall we?" asked James as he offered his arms to his son and wife who laughed but accepted. They walked to the Floo Room in a comfortable silence and sat down on some black leather couches by the large stone fireplace. It was a few minutes before the fire turned from a dark orange to a bright green and out came a tall seven year old boy.

Rico had shaggy, dark red hair that hung loosely in his emerald green eyes that sparkled with mischief. He was lean and had a large smile on his face as he shook the soot from his hair. His skin was tanned and he was just south of five foot tall.

"Rico did you have a good time with Jenny?" asked his mother as she rushed over to give the boy a hug.

"Boy did I mum, Jenny and I went running around the meadows!" exclaimed Rico excitedly as he set back a black duffle bag and ran into his father's open arms.

"Just you and Jenny eh?" teased James with a smile on his slightly wrinkle face. Rico blushed but pushed his dad amusedly.

"Oh shut up dad," laughed Rico. "Where are Cyzelena and Zykye?" asked Rico as he had yet to notice Harry who was standing quietly behind him.

"You know Cyzelena she is running with the Pegasus and Zykye is down for a nap," responded Lily with a small laugh at the thought.

"Oh well I better go see her," said Rico as he turned around but stopped as he came face to face with his older brother. Rico backed away fearfully before going over to his father and hiding behind him. "Oh didn't s-see y-you t-there H-Harry," said Rico nervously as he smiled lightly at his brother.

"Are you okay?" asked Harry worriedly as he walked slowly over to his younger brother and raised his head to check his head. But before he could touch him, Rico jumped back as if he were burned.

"Don't come near me!" yelled Rico courageously as he walked over and picked up his backpack. He was getting ready to walk out of the door when he stopped at the sound of his brother's worried voice.

"Why?" asked Harry dejectedly as he looked down at his feet not trusting his eyes at the moment. He was afraid of the answer he would receive but looked back up just in time to hear Rico answer.

"Because last time you got near me," started Rico sadly as he took a deep breath. "You tried to kill me," Rico finished as he looked once more at his brother before walking out of the room.
