Harry's pov
Best birthday presents ever, the telescope which they bought at the beginning was enough, really. But they said it was a school requirement and a way to remember that even if I have magic, I also have science.
The occlumency book? Just seeing it was enough for me to be almost drool, after years of working on my own I finally have som guidance in this department.
And finally, the cabinet? The only teleportation device that can breach the Hogwarts wards! Pure gold.
The only birthday day which was better was the one when mom and dad took me from the orphanage.
Anyway, we just returned home, and I couldn't wait to read the occlumency book, so when we finished eating dinner, I told my parents thank you for everything and that I'm going to Shower and to bed.
After showering I came to my room and started reading.
One hour later
I have bad news, and good news.
After reading the entire book, I discovered one thing about my method of creating a second mind- everyone who did it went crazy when the second mind matured, the good news is that as I am a child with a.d.u.l.t mind I can still fix it, you see, the second mind is a young mind and there for weak so I can just destroy it!
Then I went inside my mind and the battle between the main mind and second mind began.
Third pov
It wasn't an easy battle, it was a battle for survival and sanity, so everything was used in it. It was the battlefield of nightmares, science and magic, of Fiendfyre and nuclear weapons, even star destroyers were seen on the battlefield, the main mind through to the battlefield most of his emotions and the second mind through most of his rationality, but in the end when both sides were exhausted and the main mind thanked the heavens above for helping him find the book before the second mind got even stronger, they decided on compromise, as they both lost too much in battle instead of destroying one another, they would merge into one mind as the main mind was planning since the creation of the second mind, no one would die, they would just become one.
As the process began, it was so painful that the only ones that could have said to be in more pain were the Cruciatus Curse victims, only after 3 hours of the marge it was finally over and Harry fainted

When I woke up, it was like the world changed, it was like I used to be color blind and now I can see the whole range of colors. New emotion attacked me about everything. I felt love for my parents like I never felt before, it was so powerful yet beautiful, that I started to cry.
I never thought that the downsides of low EQ and A.d.u.l.t mind would affect me that terribly, now it's not like I'm suddenly with high or even regular EQ, it's just I can now understand my emotions a little better, and I still have a.d.u.l.t mind, just a mind that has better touch with his emotions than regular a.d.u.l.ts, while it will make me less rationale, maybe I can have friends now.
A week later
A week passed and I did a lot in it, I read all the school books I have got, and practiced most of the charms in them, both with and without wand. Now my theory about wands being a training wheels feels even righter then before. Herbology, potions, DADA and history of magic were lessons I could only read about until the start of the school year and after reading about transfiguration, not only did it make no sense how you can change one matter to another temporary! It was so scary thinking about the accidents that can happen, that I just left it.
The idea that I was most proud of is about Astronomy, after reading the school book, except of the fact I couldn't see what magic had to do with stars, I couldn't help but see that the wizarding world was far behind and sometimes even wrong about the outer space, they still think the sun moves around the earth!
Anyway, I decided to bus some muggle books about astronomy and Astro-physics, it took me three nights but I feel that I am ready to prevent myself from learning mistaken information. 'Maybe I should be the astronomy professor' I to myself while eating breakfast when dad brought a letter to me, "I got it from an owl, I think it's for you."
'Dear Harry,
We would love it if you would be willing to join us for a week from tomorrow, we really want to get to know our son (and brother) before the school year begins.
If you can't, please send your owl.
If you don't send, we will pick you up at 8:30 AM.
Love,
Dad, mom and Marcus.'
"I can't believe they call themselves that!" I was so angry I couldn't even think straight, "They are not my parents, they are a s.p.e.r.m and egg donors. Why the hell would I want to be with them for a week?" After the marge my emotions were amplified, my love for my parents got bigger and my dislike for the Potters became a full on hate.
"Now, now. Calm down." mom said gently, understanding my anger. "Lets just think about it. You have absolute right to be angry at James and his wife (AN: if you don't remember, James never said Lily's name so Harry's parents don't actually know it), but what about your twin brother? He didn't do anything wrong, don't you want to know him?" Mom had a point there, even if it's not the one she thought she did. I need to get to know Marcus, as I need to know more about the person who has so much power over magical Britain. In addition I suddenly realized we don't have an owl for sending letters, so a little reluctant, I agreed to go.
The next day
It was 9:30 and they were still not here, I woke up early to do my workout and they didn't even bothered to be on time! By the minute I was beginning to think about what is the most creative way to kill two magical people. Just when I was at using a time turner to make sure they would be in the house when Voldemort arrived I heard a knock on the door, opening it I saw James Potter with a red headed woman which I was pretty sure was Lily, but as I shouldn't have known her name I just said "I was waiting for over an hour. Where were you?" "I'm sorry, the new nimbus came out today, so we just had to take Marcus there, but it doesn't matter we have a week to get to know each other" James said as if my reason to exist right now is to get to know them and that my time is meaningless. "Now lets me introduce you to lady Lily Potter, the smartest witch of her generation, but you should call her mom." "Hello, lady Potter." I said and bowed the most sarcastically I could. "Oh, Harry, call me mom." "I'm sorry but the only person I would ever call mom is at the university right now, so the best I could is call you Lily." Lily put a sad face on her face but I could see the anger in her eyes and swore to my self to protect my parents. James on the other hand was much angrier by my words as he couldn't keep a smile on his face, "Don't talk to your mother that way," but Lily just touched his hand and shook her head, "that's o.k. He is angry right now, but he will understand that we love him and did it for him and Marcus to be safe."
I couldn't believe they were talking about me like I'm not even there, but just wanting to move along with all of it, I took my expanded suitcase with all my books, wand, enough clothes for the week and the vanishing cabinet (apparently taking a heavy thing outside the suitcase requires magic, and most importantly, the masters degrees books my parents got me so I won't be bored, in one hand, held Lily's extended arm with the other, and we apparited away.
A second later, we arrived near a huge mansion. "Welcome to 'Potter Mansion' the ancestral home of the Potter family, we moved here a year after the war was over as my parents died from dragon pox. Come inside and I will give you a tour."
An hour later
It was the first time I was sorry for having perfect memory. For the last hour, James didn't stop talking about the history of the Potter family, even Lily left after 10 minutes of the tour saying she is going to look for Marcus- like she can't ask a house elf to do it.
So that's how an hour after I came to the mansion I knew more than I ever wanted to know about the Potter family and didn't knew what of my knowledge is true and what is the imagination of James.
"And lastly, the most exciting place in the house, the Quidditch pitche, where if I'm not mistaken you would meet your brother

Lets just say Marcus'es and mine first meeting wasn't the best...
I was near the pitch when he came down from his broom.
We looked almost the same, we both looked almost like James, but while he had more fat on him (he wasn't fat just a little fuller) I was skinnier and had more muscle, while he had average height for an eleven year old, I was as tall as an average 12 year old, and most noticeably he had brown fudge eyes while I had emerald green eyes.
What I didn't expect, is that while we checked each other, he opened his mouth and said "why is he taller then me? I'm the boy who lived, I should be taller!" He sounded so much like Dudley in the books that I felt like god is punishing me for leaving one by giving me another, a thought that made me laugh so hard on the inside that I mumbled about a toilet and ran there trying not to laugh out loud. This is gonna be a long long week...
A week later
Marcus was the most insufferable child I've ever met, he is an idiotic child who thinks he's always in the right, and every other sentence of his is about how amazing he is and how, as the boy who lived, he is greatest thing that happened since the invention of sliced bread.
Let just say, after a week with him, any thoughts of being brothers disappeared from my mind, and I was sure his power over his parents and magical Britain was enormous, cause otherwise someone would have pulled his head out of his own ass. It was funny at first, but now it's just annoying, in addition it's a little disturbing, is it just me or every wizard is a bad parent? Even if you're not including James and Lily, who left one child and destroyed the other, just from what I know from the books, Sirius's mother, Draco's and almost every pure-blood's entitled self, the racism in the Wizarding world, bullying all the different people at school, hell even the Weasley's family with the overbearing mother, meek father, Percy the 'perfect son' who abandoned his family in time of need, Ron the jealous boy and Ginny the crazy fan, if we are honest, only a small percentage of the wizards are good people and even smaller aren't muggle-born, like Tonx, Neville and Luna, suddenly I don't want to be at the magical world anymore, but I keep telling myself "remember that you came to this world because of the prophecy and if I don't kill Voldemort he would kill me one day. Plus magic."
Anyhow... my week is over and I can see my parents again, after this long week, I decided that my first project for the year would be an enchanted mirror so I would be able to see them everyday.
"Harry, it's time to go." Lily yelled, "unless, maybe, you prefer to stay?"
In the past week Lily did everything she could to make me feel welcomed, and if I was a regular child it would have worked, but not only I was not a normal child, I had my parents who I loved more than anything in the world, and also, I really didn't like the look in her eyes when I refused to go along with the act and wouldn't sign the rune doc.u.ment they gave me with the excuse of making sure you're happy with your parents (the only time they called my mom and dad my parents).
So, politely I said that I miss my parents took my suitcase in one hand, Lily's arm held with the other, and we apperated home.
After arriving at the closest ally near my house, Lily gave me an awkward hug and told me I can always contact her if I need anything and that she would see me at the train station and disapperated.
5 minutes later, I arrived where my house is and there was cops everywhere- I ran so fast inside that they didn't manage to stop me and that's when I saw them. Something I would never forget

The room was massy with all the electronic devisees were taken, but Harry didn't even noticed, his eyes were on the ground trailing the blood to the kitchen. When he walked in, he first saw his mom, her eyes were closed and her face so peaceful that if she wasn't on the floor and with a slit throat he would have thought she's just asleep. Then he looked at the other person there, it was his dad, just next to her looking dead as hell and that's when Harry got in shock
August 21 1991
Harry's pov
The last week was hard and chaotic, it took a two days until I got out of my shock.
The police came and told me it was a robbery gone wrong, I thought 'poppyc.o.c.k', than a social worker came and started asking questions about relatives, and telling me I can have a say with who I am should live, I told her that I'm not their biological or adopted son, that they were my foster parents but they were my parents, that they were going to send me to a gifted children's school which is a boarding one and that it's paid already, after a few hours and a lot of talking she agreed it was the best option for me and left, by that time I was tired as hell and went to sleep.
Next day, a lawyer came, he said my parents left everything to me, so now I'm one of the youngest millionaires in the world (apparently dad got a lot of money for his inventions) and I just had to lose the only two people that ever loved me and that I even loved, YAY"
It took three days since the moment I woke up to understand one thing, It was related to the Potters. It can't be a coincidence that the week when I went there and kept refusing to be with them my parents died. Now if I was a regular child I would have come to them for comfort, but I'm not and I won't.
Instead I swear I would destroy everything the care about and everyone, I might have to kill Voldemort or I would be killed, but it was never said I must be on the light side, it won't be quick but I will have my revenge, after all, revenge is a dish best served cold.

It is the last day before school starts, I sold my parents house cheaply and bought with that money a condo in muggle London about a block from the Leaky Cauldron, I quickly and quietly with a nice little charm called the confundus, managed to convince a judge to sign my emancipations papers so In the muggle world I'm a.d.u.l.t and I tied all the loose ends with my jujitsu sensei and told the university I'm moving far away so I won't continue my degrees there, I even bought a computer to take with me in my enchanted suitcase so I won't be cut out of the world, and now I am finally ready to go to Hogwarts and play the game of chess that's called the wizarding war but I won't be black or white... I will be purple!
Lily's pov
Why didn't Harry contact me yet?
He should have done it right after he found out his caregivers died, after all who can comfort him better than his own mother?
Well maybe he is still grieving alone and I will see him at the train station tomorrow, he will have a year at Gryffindor to connect with his brother and we will be at the end a family again.
Now I just need a plan to convince him to sign those papers and make Marcus the real heir, after all, isn't the boy who lived the perfect heir of the Potter house

Third pov
This was a moment all the first years have waited for as long as they remember, but no one waited longer than Harry Potter, after all since the first moment he remembers it was the thing he's been preparing for.
So you wouldn't be surprised if you were told that Harry woke up extremely early, actually, he didn't sleep at all last night, too bad it had nothing to do with excitement and more to do with the fact his parents were murdered, and he was going to meet their killer's child, at least if he is not mistaken about the killer's identity.
So at 6 AM, after a long night of occlumency and suppressing his feelings, Harry was more than ready to meet everyone with a smile.
He did his morning workout, Showered, made breakfast and after eating it he packed everything he owned in his expending suitcase except the vanishing cabinet and left the condo to the king cross station.
When he arrived there, he saw a curly haired 11 years old who, if he had to guess, must have been Hermione Granger, for a moment he was happy to meet the person who's supposed to be one of his best friends, than he remembered a couple of problems:
1) he is not the original Harry, actually he is very different.
He doesn't like Quidditch (it makes no sense), he didn't live with the Durlsly since he was 5 and he already decided not to be Gryffindor as he wasn't sure if he could keep himself in check and not kill anyone *cough* Marcus *cough*.
2) this wasn't canon, and until he figures out who's good and who is bad, he is not going to be friends with anyone
3) Hermione was always a 'stick to the rules' person, or at least until halloween (AN: sneaking dragons and haxing friends as an eleven years old while before "we could get killed or worse, expelled"{best line in seven books}), and even later she was always pro Dumbledore, she would never agree with revenge, the one thing Harry wouldn't compromise about.
So that's why he waited 5 minutes after she walked through the wall, then moved towards the wall while putting a hat on so he wouldn't be mistaken as his brother.
It worked perfectly, after all even though they are similar he is taller, skinnier, wore a hat and most importantly, he came alone while everyone knew the boy who lived would be with his parents and lots of reporters. So Harry got to the first years section of the train, found a wagon with no one in it and decided, as there was about a hour and 15 minutes till the train hit the road to take a nap. After all, he didn't sleep last night.
45 minutes later
Third pov
While Harry was still sleeping, outside the train there was lots of touching goodbyes, but none looked more touching than the Potter family goodbye.
After all, it's not everyday that your little boy leaves you for a year, and there were reporters everywhere.
Everyone wanted an opportunity for a boy who lived exclusive, but the Potter family was aiming higher, they wanted a front stage, which is why they were waiting for Harry, because what says front page more than- 'The one you didn't know about, the sacrifice of the boy who lived's brother.'
25 minutes later
'It's ridiculous' Is what everyone of the Potter family thought.'we can't wait any more, otherwise Marcus (I) would miss the train.' So they kissed, hugged and shade a tear one last time then Marcus, that never had friends as his parents were too afraid to let him out of the house without them, went and met his new followers (read as friends) for the first time.
The day later a story would be posted on the 'Daily Prophet' there would be an article about the Potter family- 'Loving or codependent? A look on the family of the boy who lived.'
And that's how, accidentally, by coming early and taking a nap, Harry maneged to destroy a little bit of the Potter family

It was 3 hours into the 8 hours long trip that a knock on the door woke Harry up, while stretching he called the person to come in.
The door opened and a small pudgy boy asked shyly: "Did you see a toad? I lost mine, he always escape!" That's the moment Harry recognized the boy, it was Neville Longbottom, the bravest Gryffindor, as he is the only one whose afraid and still does what he believes, and it looked like he isn't as different as you might think from the books, so Harry decided to help. "No, sorry, but I heard there is a spell to bring stuff to you, why won't you ask one of the older students to use it?" "Th-thanks" "Anything for a friend." "Are we?" "Sorry, I didn't meant to presume. I'm Harry." "Neville." "So Neville, when you find your toad, would you like to sit with me?" "I would love to." Neville smiled and closed the door while Harry thought 'my first friend is a Gryffindor, that would make things interesting' and went back to sleep

Third's pov
Hermione was starting to really regret suggesting to help Neville search for his toad. She knew it wasn't nice, and her parents educated her to always help when she can, but she really hoped to meet someone she could call a friend before they arrived to the castle, because she knew that afterward it would be harder to find a friend, after all, even though Hermione wasn't dumb, she was a little naive, and she really thought that everyone here would be as excited to learn and about school,so while she really didn't expect to find a celebrity when she opened the next door, when she saw the wagon packed with people and everyone looking at someone doing magic, she just couldn't help herself "oh, you're doing magic? Lets see it then." She didn't mean to sound so demanding, she was just really excited about magic. When the boy said Lumos and a light was shining out of his wand, everyone clapped excitedly. To be Hermione thought it's a little strange that they were so mesmerized about a simple spell that took her 5 minutes to learn, but when she heard the red headed boy saying "of course Marcus can do magic before school he's the boy who lived." She understood. "You're Marcus potter? Did you know that you were written about in modern magical history, the raise and fall of the dark arts and even in Great wizarding event of the 20th century?" "Of course I know about it, it's me that is written about." Hermione started not liking this posh of a boy, she just wanted to leave the wagon so she quickly asked if anyone has seen a toad and when they replied negatively she left, just not before hearing the red headed saying "whatever house I'm in, I hope she ain't in it."
So, hurt and without much will she decided to check one more wagon, and one far away, so there won't be a chance to meet one of the kids in Marcus's wagon
3 minutes later
at the other end of the first years side of the train
Hermione took a big breath and told herself that she would just come in ask about the toad and then go find a someone who could become her friend, even if not now, maybe in the future, now she just hoped for a familiar maybe friendly face who she could have an interesting conversation with.
She knocked on the door and after a second someone said come in with a yawn, she got in and asked in a quiet voice. "Have you seen a toad? A boy named Neville lost his." "Actually, Neville was already here, he took my suggestion to go to an older student and ask them to use magic to help." "Oh, really? So I guess I would go now..." just as she was about to get out he said "Wait, do you want to sit together? I could use someone to talk to, maybe we can be friends?" Nodding while smiling she came in and closed the door. "By the way, I'm Harry." "Hermione, I hope we can be friends."
4 hours later
Harry's pov
I'm not sure how it came to this.
First, I was sleeping in the train when Neville asked for help, while seeing him like that made me impulsively help him, I decided it would be worth while to become friends with a pure-blood with money on the light side, then when Hermione showed up looking so defeated and asked about the toad, even though I decided not to get involved with any of the main cast, even if it would change the future even more than it's already changed and even though I had my reasons not to trust her, I couldn't leave her alone and invited her to stay inside with me. Then Neville came and soon we were all talking about the classes and what were we excited to learn, when the trolley lady came I bought some chocolate frogs and licorice wands, and we all ate them, even Hermione ate, though it took some convincing, just when we finished every candy, another knock was sounded, then the door opened and one blond and two big kids walked in, one of the big kids were even at my height! The blond kid who I immediately assumed was Draco Malfoy said "Have any of you seen the boy who lived?"
And Hermione immediately said "He is at the other end of the first year wagons." "Thank you" Draco simply said and left. 'Well, that was anticlimactic' Harry thought.
After that incident, they went on to talk about houses. "I hope to be Gryffindor, like my parents, but I will probably be a Hufflepuff" Neville said with a low tone. "What's wrong with being a Hufflepuff?" Harry asked "Do you have a problem with loyal and hard working people?" "No, it's just that my grandmother really want me to be in the same house as everyone else in the family was and I also want to be brave" "You are brave Neville, you want even though you are afraid to every wagon to ask about Trevor, bravery isn't the absence of fear, it doing the right thing despite it. I'm sure that you would be a Gryffindor if that's what you want" "thank you Harry, it means a lot that you said it." "Yea, so lets all three of us become Gryffindor" Hermione said with a smile
"I don't really care if I'm Gryffindor, I like all the houses." Harry lied as in truth the only house he didn't want to be in was Gryffindor. "Really? Even Slytherin?" Hermione was shocked "What's wrong with ambition?" "But that's the house 'you know who' was in!" Neville exclaimed "really? What year did he graduate?" "I don't know, how is that relevant?" Because when I heard his name I did a little research and there was never a student named you know what in all of Hogwarts" "of course not, it's a fake name, it's just that no-one knows his real name." Neville answered "exactly, so how do you know he was a Slytherin? And remember 'because everyone said so' isn't an answer" Neville and Hermione looked thoughtful so the rest of the ride was done quietly

It was evening by the time the train stopped, and the last people to get of it were the first years, and as everyone got down the train, they couldn't help but hear the baritone deep voice yells "first years, first years, over here, there you are. Is there anyone missing? No? Great. Now get into the boats, three or four in a boat."
After everyone went inside the boats they started moving, they could see the giant octopus and grindylows swimming in the water, they were so amazed by the lake that they almost jumped when someone said look.
When they looked up they saw The Hogwarts castle, it looked majestic, and old yet beautiful. Even Harry couldn't help but think 'this is how you should be introduced to the magical world'
After they arrived they all got into the castle quickly.
"The firs'-years, Professor McGonagall," said Hagrid.
"Thank-you, Hagrid. I will take them from here."
"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall. "The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory and spend free time in your house common room.
The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rule-breaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the House Cup, a great honour. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours.
The Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school. I suggest you all smarted yourselves up as much as you can while you are waiting." Her eyes lingered for a moment on Neville's cloak, which was fastened under his left ear, and on Ron's smudged nose
"I will return when we are ready for you," said Professor McGonagall. "Please wait quietly."
As they waited Harry could see everybody were nervous, even Hermione and Neville, who should have calmed down after their conversation at the train. Suddenly Hermione said "Let's make a promise, no matter what house we would be let's stay friends." "Sure." "Of course"
They waited for another 15 minutes while the ghosts came and go, talking about Peeves. Finally the sorting time began. They went inside the great hall, and it was amazing, the ceiling was really beautiful with the flying candles and than the Hat sang
"Oh you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"
Then they started to call names, Abbot Hannah - Hufflepuff
They continued like that but Harry was interested in the changes he might have made.
The hats power wasn't looking inside the mind, it was the power he got from Gryffindor himself, The power to see the possibilities of people. Most people would only grow strong in one house, some won't complete their studies if they are not put in specific house,those children were the easiest to sort. The difficult ones to sort Were those who would fit well in all houses and those who fit at none.
So when it was Hermione's turn, the hat really didn't know where to put her, you could see the loyalty to friends she would have, you could see her mind expand while she learn, you could see her bravery and Nobility when she fights a lost cause at all cost, and you could see her change the world with her ambition. So in the end when the hat didn't have a choice he asked, and when she answered he yelled "Gryffindor."
In neville's sorting it was easier, The boy didn't have much ambition and he didn't want to know everything but he could be so loyal and so brave and noble even if he didn't know it. In the end they had chosen to put him where he can do the best for the school. "Gryffindor"
Another difficult one was Draco Malfoy, he had courage and loyalty to his family but his family expectations didn't let him think about being anywhere else but Slytherin, more than that, in more futures than one, being in a different house killed him, so even though he should have been a Hufflepuff the hats quickly called Slytherin.
There were earlier and harder ones after that, he even split twins for their benefit, but it was hard. Then came the strongest challenge of his semi-life sorting Harry Potte

Just as the sorting hat finished to sort Parvati into Gryffindor, the moment everyone have been waiting for arrived, yet it felt like professor McGonagle suddenly started speaking in slow motion. Poootteeeer Haaaarryyyyyy, so it wasn't a surprise when one of the braver yet dumber kids shouted "don't you mean Marcus?" "20 points from Gryffindor, and please be quiet mr. McLaggen" as Harry went to the stool, everyone whispered around him, "who is he?" "Is he related to the boy who lived?" "Why didn't we heard about him?" Harry could hear all the whispers when he decided to talk about anything important in the great hall if he didn't want the teachers to know about it. But as he put the hat on, it suddenly became quite, than he could hear the hat speak: Hmm, difficult. VERY difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. What the f.u.c.k? Who are you? Why can't I see more than two blurry futures of you?" "Wait, you don't look into minds? That's a relief." "Of course I don't look into minds, did you think as a person everyone had only one definitive character in them? I choose by seeing five years in advance or seven if it's really hard and look for the house with the best outcome, it might not tell me everything, but it does help me choose." "So why did you let Tom Riddle be a Slytherin?" "How do you know about him? Doesn't matter, I choose the house for the students based on the best outcome to them and school. Now, I can't say more than that cause I can't talk about predictions for other students. Lets talk about you instead, a boy with only two futures means you have a prophecy about you, that's fine, but tell me, how is it possible that I can't see even one moment before the prophesy?" The hat was genuinely interested, after 1000 years of sorting students, finally he had something new to expect, after all even though seeing the future is awesome knowing what's going to happen always kind of sucks." Now if Harry trusted the hat maybe he would have told it everything but as he read in another life, Mr. Weasley saying to his daughter 'never trust an object that can think if you can't see where it's brain is' and it's not an advice someone should ever forget! Especially with magical objects, after all you have Horcruxes and a lot of other kinds of magical objects that can think. Plus the hat most probably tells the headmaster a lot so even if it's a harmless magical hat Harry would never tell him anything. "You are so careful, and you have a prophecy on your head, there is only one place you would be..." "SLYTHERIN

Third's pov
After Harry went to Slytherin, professor McGonagle called Marcus, again there were whispers, but this time it was about the house he should be in and not about who he is, when the hat looked into the boy's future he once again didn't know where to put the boy, as the boy's ambition was to stay loved by the wizarding world could be accomplished in any house the hat decided to eliminate the houses he cannot put the boy in. Slytherin was out, as he didn't see one future where Marcus survives, whether he is killed by accident, a dark lord fanatic, or his own brother, he just won't survive.
Hufflepuff was also out, no matter what he won't become a hard worker and by being placed there he can create a cult, something the hat despises, as it creates boring futures for the next century, just look at Slytherin.
Ravenclaw was the next one out, the boy might have a brain, but he would never study seriously and would affect the entire house, so in seven years it will become a joke.
In the end, the hat chose Gryffindor, which surprisingly was also the house the boy asked, so he said "in that case you should be... GRYFFINDOR."
The entire Gryffindor house started cheering Fred and George screamed "we've got Potter, we've got Potter"
After coming down the sorting continued.
The next few students were much easier, but then professor McGonagle called "Weasley Ronald"
When the hats heard that name he wanted to cry, since the first of the Weasley brothers came everyone of them except Charles was a nightmare of its own.
William and George should've been in Ravenclaw, Fred a Slytherin, and Percy was just like Marcus, it didn't fit anywhere. Every time we had was about to make his decision he could see their mother abandoning them, which is why when Ronald put the hat on he just said "another Weasley? better be GRYFFINDOR"
Lets just say, when the sorting was over the hat was sad he didn't have a digestive system, cause he could really use a drink.
The sorting was over, and everyone waited to eat, after all it was already after 8:00 PM, and they were starving so when Dumbledore stood up beaming at the students almost everyone missed the disturbing eye twinkle he had when he looked at a few of the new students, and how the twinkle disappeared when he looked at Harry, one of the few people that didn't miss it yet was Harry himself. "Welcome," he said. "Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!"
'An amazing way to make to make everyone put their guards down around you,' Harry thought 'The idiotic ones would think you're just crazy, Smart ones good thing you just want to make yourself look crazy and because the figure you out, they would know what to expect, when in fact they would know nothing'
Severus Snape's pov
Severus wasn't sure what to think, on one hand he hated the fact James Potter's child was in his house, on the other it was kind of a sweet revenge, he also wanted to make James's kid life harder but he took an oath to himself that he (as a different of Slughorn) would make sure none of his snakes suffered unjustly. As for the fact he was Lily's child, it didn't mattered to him anymore, after all you need to be really pathetic to hold a candle to a woman for more then 11 years, not to mention the fact she changed, she became just like the people who bullied and made fun of him. He also didn't like the dark look Dumbledore gave the boy.
'Lets just take the wait and see attitude'
Voldemort's pov
Voldemort really wasn't sure who's the boy who lived, he didn't remembere much about that night when he lost his body, he remembered his spy helping him get into the house, he remembered old muggle people, two children, killing curses being thrown out and pain.
When Quirrell told him everything he knew about Marcus Potter, he assumed that he killed the other child, but now he was sure it was an evil scheme of Dumbledore but is it so he would think the boy who lived is Harry or so he would think that the boy who lived is Marcus? He needs to think about it.
Dumbledore's pov
It was a difficult summer for him.
July 1st
when he looked at the names of this year new students he saw a name he was sure he would never hear about again, 'Harry Potter.' The boy was supposed to be a squib, even if the test isn't 100% accurate, having a 98% accuracy was enough for him, but now it came to bite him in the ass, as the older and future Lord Potter was coming to Hogwarts and there was nothing he could do.
After a few moments of thought he was sure he should just give the latter to his parents and have them explain the boy, after all they were family.
July 2
He was wrong, apparently the Potter left the child the moment they heard he was a squib. Most parents would wait till the Hogwarts latter with a little bit of hope, but they didn't, well they should just find him and explain... after all they are blood.
July 31
Shit!
He was wrong again! After almost a month of searching, James found the child, but he had a new family. No matter, he should just get to know his real family he would forget about the muggles, just like all the muggle-born in school.
August 15
That's it, the boy had been with the Potter family for almost a week and he still hasn't warmed up to any of them, not even Marcus, but after much thought Dumbledore had a plan, there is nothing more uniting than a loved ones death, those muggles would serve the greater good!
August 31
The boy didn't come back, in fact, he disappeared, where is he??? Why did none of his plans worked after all, he is the headmaster of a school, every time his students were having a choice he made sure it would be the right one with his plans, the last child of whom his plans didn't work on was Tom, He would have to keep an an I on young Harry.
September 1st
This boy is so similar to Tom it's scary, a maggle-raised, half-blood, sorted to Slytherin, and he even have the same polite yet distance look when he speaks. Yes, he would have to keep an eye on the boy."
He then raised and said his practiced speech "Ahem -- just a few more words now that we are all fed and watered. I have a few start-of-term notices to give you.
"First years should note that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all pupils. And a few of our older students would do well to remember that as well."
Dumbledore's twinkling eyes flashed in the direction of the Weasley twins.
"I have also been asked by Mr. Filch, the caretaker, to remind you all that no magic should be used between classes in the corridors.
Quidditch trials will be held in the second week of the term. Anyone interested in playing for their house teams should contact Madam Hooch.
And finally, I must tell you that this year, the third-floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a very painful death."
He stopped till the students finished murmur.
"And now, before we go to bed, let us sing the school song!"
While laughing inside about the fact that the teachers would once again have to suffer this noise just like he did before he became a headmaster (apparently the headmaster spot had a unique spell which changes the yells to a wonderful music when the music words appear.)
He gave his wand a little flick, as if he was trying to get a fly off the end, and a long golden ribbon flew out of it, which rose high above the tables and twisted itself, snakelike, into words
"Everyone pick their favorite tune," said Dumbledore, "and off we go!"
"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald,
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling,
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot."
When everyone finished he said "Ah, music," wiping his eyes. "A magic beyond all we do here! And now, bedtime. Off you trot!"
He really wanted to go to bed, he had a lot to think about

Draco's pov
Draco had a confusing day, first he met the boy who lived, Who apparently didn't want to be friends with him, 'why the bloody hell not?' Was all he could think about since Potter refused to even shake his hand. What a pones! Then he arrived at Hogwarts got into his dream house, and he was thrilled... for about five minutes, till he heard there is another Potter and he also was sorted into Slytherin. Then we thought that's my chance for revenge, after all as the prince of Slytherin, Draco would make sure he knows his betters, well that's what Draco thought like until he saw The Potter twin start taking with everyone in the table. It felt like he knows everything, when Theo talked about the herbology class he is interested in, Potter started talking with him about the difference between mundane plants and magical plants. When Zabini began talking about transfiguration theory, he started to talk about energy transformation and when Greengrass started talking about potions, without even blinking he started talking about the reactions every ingredient with another. So when they finally started talking about their homes, even though most of them already knew each other, Draco felt it's his time to shine.
"I'm a pure-blood, of course. I was being prepared to Hogwarts since the moment I was born, as you wouldn't expect anything but the very best out of the son of Lucius Malfoy."
He was sure, no matter what they would hear next, he would become the leader of this year's Slytherin, after all, he had Crabbe and Goyle as minions, Pansy as a friend, Theo as a ally and even Greengrass as a colleague, even if Zabini and Davis want to be independent they would cave, after all who else can become the leader?
Then it was Potter's turn.
"I'm a half-blood, I learned about Hogwarts from James Potter about one month ago, so if I don't know anything I should, please tell me." He said it so politely that Draco was so impressed, he didn't even noticed it until Theo asked "what do you mean 'you heard about Hogwarts just a month ago'?" "I was raised by muggles as my biological parents wanted to focus more about the 'boy who lived'" "so that's why we never heard the potters had two sons. So which one are you? The older or younger twin?" Greengrass asked with much interest. "Older, why?" "That means you are the heir of the Potter lordship!" Zabini exclaimed. "That's huge!"
It was at that moment Draco knew his plans were destroyed, Zabini and Davis now had a different opinion of a leader, Greengrass will play both sides and Theo would do as always what ever he wants. 'No, I have to find a way to make sure he knows his place.' With that thought, Draco joined the other first years as they were leaving with the perfects, it took about 5 minutes to get from the grand hall to the Slytherin dungeon, and that's only cause we were going slowly, when they arrived at The entrance it was located behind a bare stretch of stone wall, exactly as his father told him.
The perfect told them never to reveal The password to any student who is not Slytherin, then told the wall "Merlin"
When they arrived uncle Severus was already there, they all stood before him when he started talking "you were all deemed worthy to become part of the elite group who is called Slytherin, it means you're ambitious, cunning and smart, but that's not all Slytherin is about, it's also about the drive to excellence and fraternity, even in the hat song he says 'In Slytherin You'll make your real friends.'
That's why, we have a few rules in here:
1) I don't take points from you, but if I punish one with detention-every one is punished. You see, every good Slytherin knows that the house points system is idiotic, answering questions- points, doing something wrong- points. So as I expect better from you, I decided to make the system crash, that's why you would hear about how unfair I am point wise, because when I give you points you should look proud but feel ashamed, as the more points you get from my, the less benefits you will have inside the house, if you get less than 10, you can have a private room, less than 25 a privet study but room with other kids, less than 50 a regular study and room and more than 50 detention. I really hope we won't win this year.
2) if we are family, it's natural we will have a fight in here, I will say it only ones! Arguments would only happen inside our dungeon! Magical fights will only happen in the arena! outside we are united!
You will have the first man in a private room everyone, my office hours are Saturday from 10 to 12.
Go to sleep."
As Draco laid on his bed, he went over what uncle Severus call them and his last thought before falling asleep was 'maybe I could use this
