AN: This chapter is mostly just me telling you what went on during those years, this is the only chapter like that, I think. It should be.
Chapter 4
Second through fourth year
On his birthday, the bell rang and Harry ran to the door, it was Remus. "In the living room." He said quickly, disappointment coming off in waves. The bell rang again and it was Sirius' family and a friend of Iria. "Living room." He sighed. The third time the bell rang, it was Brian. "Brian!" He cheered.
The strong werewolf grinned and picked him up. "Happy birthday, Harry." He said.
"We have to go outside, mum and dad gave Iria a party today." Harry mumbled.
"Direct me." Brian said, spinning Harry so that he faced ahead. He then started walking.
"Left!" Harry yelled before they almost hit a wall. "Straight ahead, right! Door!" Harry opened the door and they were finally outside.
"Sixteen O.W.L.s, huh? That's really good, right?" Brian asked. Harry nodded. "Why don't you get the house?" He asked as they got far enough away so that even a certain werewolf inside the house couldn't hear them.
"I think they forgot. They don't care anyway so it doesn't matter."
"There's a werewolf in there."
"That's Remus, one of dad's best friends." Harry said. "Dad's other friend is here as well, he's my godfather, but he cares about me less than my parents."
"I think I remember you telling me about that. Now, what do you want to do? Besides Quidditch, brooms and Brian don't mix." He said.
"How about tag? No, you could sniff me out. Wanna see what I learned?" He asked the werewolf. He pulled Brian to a clearing that his family never went to. He concentrated on his fire magic and made a flame. The flame turned into a wolf and then the flames began to shimmer silver, green, blue, orange, and gold. "Touch it. I learned how to make a cool flame a while ago." He paused. "Smell it. I haven't been able to test if a replica of a living animal could smell like it. I do know if something like a rose could smell like a rose, but my nose isn't as good as yours." He explained. Brian sniffed it and a strange expression came over his face.
"It just changed from a cat to me to a rose, then back to a cat." He said, the corner of his lips twitched. Harry started laughing crazily. "You're nose needs help." This only made Harry laugh harder.
"What in Merlin's name?" A voice asked. Harry sobered quickly and looked to see Remus standing there.
"What are you doing here?" Harry asked coldly.
"Sirius and I smelled a cat change into him, then change into a flower, before changing back into a cat. They sent me to check it out." Remus answered. "Now answer my question."
"So you can go run to dad? Forget that. It's not like he cares anyway; he just wanted you to make sure that it wasn't something dangerous that would hurt their children." Harry sneered. "So you can go back now and tell him that the house is safe, it wasn't anything dangerous." Harry turned to Brian. "Sorry about that, I'll have to ask later when sensitive noses aren't about."
"That's all right. I think you can open presents, or rather present." Brian smiled.
"What is it? Huh? Huh?" Harry asked excitedly, missing the dark look Brian sent to Remus.
"You'll have to open it." Harry gave a mock-scowl. He opened the gift to see an emerald green sweater wrapped around another dragon book. He jumped and wrapped his arms around Brain's neck.
"Thank you!" He screeched. "Thank you sooo much!"
"I gave the broom makers your letters and they all said that they were thankful for your thoughtfulness and that your welcome about the broom." He said. "Now I don't have any cake or anything, but you can pretend." Brian said apologetically.
"What are you still doing here Remus? Shouldn't you be back at Iria's party?"
"Why aren't you there?" Remus asked back.
"This is my BIRTHDAY party. Now go give your little report to dad before they send Sirius out looking for you." Harry drawled.
"Why don't you ever attend the parties?" Remus asked.
"I'm not invited, family and friends only. Just don't say anything about the fire, they'll ground me for endangering their children and interrupting Iria's party. And I won't be allowed home for Christmas and Spring breaks." Harry begged.
"Harry, your family, your explanation doesn't make sense."
"I'm not their child! I got my own little lecture about how I'm not their child; I'm their mistake! You don't have to rub it in you know, I already understand!" He yelled before running off.
"If I knew they wouldn't take care of him, I never would have returned him when I found him." Brian growled to the stunned were before following Harry.
"Let's play exploding snap, I've got a pack in my pocket." Harry said.
The rest of the summer went by fine and Harry decided to keep his O.W.L. results. When he got back to school, he found that Malfoy had tried to bribe his way onto the Quidditch team and get the seeker position, but failed because the team wanted to win and they could do that with Harry, though Snape said that they should pick Malfoy. Harry sat in the back of all of his classes, even his three electives, learning more advanced things in the classes, except DADA. But that was because the teacher, Lockhart, was a loser.
He found out that a Gryffindor, Weasley, had a crush on him, but ignored it. The Gryffindors hated him even more because of this, forever trying to prank him. The pranks never worked because Harry was a bit paranoid about Malfoy anyway and his year with the werewolf had made him even more paranoid.
He was still at the top of his class even though he had a more advanced class. He had to go through seven years magical training and be at least a seventh year in order to take the N.E.W.T.s.
Halfway through the year, Harry got a note from his home, after being banned from returning home for Christmas, it said that Brian was dead, that the lycanthropy had caught up with him and while he was sick, werewolf haters attacked his home and killed him. In his will, his vault and library was given to Harry.
"No! Nonononono!" Harry muttered before grabbing his bag and running out of the Great Hall. He ran to his dorm room and cried. "He's not dead! He's not!" He cried. He skipped his first class, DADA, and when he was ready, he finished the letter. At the bottom of the letter was the key to his vault and it said that they moved his library into a portable library and that it was in his vault.
*What'sss wrong?* Emrys asked.
*Brian'sss dead.* Harry answered softly. Emrys didn't say anything, just slithered over to where Harry was and curled around his wrist before hissing soothingly to the pained boy. Soon the boy fell asleep and he missed the whole day's classes. Harry Potter closed himself off even more when Brian died. He would only talk to the teachers and if it was anyone else, he only talked to them if it was absolutely necessary. He would talk to his partner also; who was more often then not, Blaise.
That summer, Iria and Markus would taunt him about Brian's death almost constantly. He moved his new library to his room and placed all of his books in it, including his parent's old school books that he didn't have, planning to trade them out as he got them for his own classes. He got better at his fire magic and began to be the best because Brian wanted him to, not because of his parents. Brian was the closest he had to a parent, so he wanted to do it for him.
During his third year, Remus was a teacher and Iria started. His parents had held a big celebration for her and got her the best of everything; they even got her an owl. Harry had bought his own snowy white owl, and after moving through a bunch of names, finally settled on Hedwig. Iria's was brown and she was very upset when she found out that Harry had bought the best owl in the store. She also got a kitten that was black as night and followed Harry around, much to the distress of Iria. Iria was placed in Gryffindor, making the Potters happy for their daughter.
Iria was below average, even very closed to failing in a few classes. In Potions she was failing and her highest mark was DADA, Harry suspected Lupin was behind that. She was very snotty, but everyone liked her because she was the Girl-Who-Lived. She was used to getting what she wanted. Her teachers, except Snape, expected more of her because of Harry's reputation.
She kept getting praise from their parents. Harry knew this because of the candies sent and that she would show him the letters. She had made it known that she hated her older brother.
He had made a tentative friendship with Blaise, but only the barest above acquaintances.
During his fourth year, Remus wasn't allowed back and his status of werewolf was exposed, they had a man named Westly and they had a debate about the tri-wizard tournament, the Ministry decided against it as in the summer after his third year, Voldemort came back.
Iria boasted about how she beat Voldemort the first time and would again while Blaise asked Harry out. Harry accepted, but was still very removed to all but his girlfriend. He was still at the top of his class and school went on like nothing had happened on the outside world. Harry carried Emrys on his arm and Ghost, Iria's cat, followed him around. His parents were upset because Iria wasn't doing anything. She wasn't on the Quidditch team and her scores weren't the best, or even in the top half. Harry and Slytherin won the Quidditch cup and the house cup every year and Harry was always top of his class.
Harry went home that summer to be excluded form the rest of his family even more. Tyler had distanced himself from Harry, but wasn't cruel like the other two; he just acted like Harry didn't exist. He was a good Quidditch player, but not anywhere close to what Harry was.
Markus started Hogwarts in Harry's fifth year and he also got a party for it. He was placed in Gryffindor as well and used his father's invisibility cloak, it was passed from father to eldest son and James didn't acknowledge Harry as his son. He also had the Marauder's map, though not for long as Harry took it.
