Third Chapter WHOO!I hope y'all are enjoying my story as much as I'm enjoying writing it.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this story except the plot.

And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cause everyone is forgiven now
Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
and somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

Better Days by Goo Goo Dolls

Chapter 3

"Harry" she said slowly "I am your mother's twin sister"

Harry just gaped at her, his mouth hanging open.

"What?" asked Harry blinking a few times.

"Lily Potter was my twin sister" repeated Jean looking at Harry, worried he might get upset.

"So what you are trying to tell is that you are my aunt" said Harry as Jean nodded "and nobody told me about that."

"Yes," she nodded. "When James and Lily were killed I was told that you had died as well. I was heartbroken at that time but when I heard you were alive and was staying with my ungrateful sister I tried to tell Dumbledore that I will take care of you but he declined and said you were safer with those people. I mean come on, what could be safer than being here where all the mutants can protect you from little ole' Voldie-shorts!"

Harry couldn't help but laugh even though the tears in his eyes. Then he realized that it was the first time he had smiled or laughed in months.

"There is also something else Harry," said Jean with tears in her own eyes "James and Lily had made me you godmother."

Harry's smile grew even more. He had a godmother, he then gave Jean a hug, and at that moment Harry knew that there was still hope in this world, hope for peace and happiness.

"I'm so happy Harry now that you are safe. You know when I found out that you were in Azkaban I was so scared. I didn't want to lose you too, and now here you are safe and sound and away from that awful place" said Jean as she pulled away from him to look in the same eyes as her sister. He also had tears in his eyes, he was also smiling.

"Look at us" said Harry still smiling. "Were crying like babies."

"I know" said Jean as they both laughed.

The first few weeks at the Institute were very interesting for Harry also extremely weird. Since Logan tore off the amulet that was made out of Kryptonite from him, his appearance had started to change. His face had high cheekbones and a heavily-set jaw. His shoulders were broader, his hair seemed less unruly but still a little bit messy. He was much taller now as well, at least 6, 5". But he still looked like James and Lily a bit; he still had Lily's eyes and James messy hair just more controllable, and his scar was (unfortunately) still there. He also found out he didn't need glasses anymore.

When his appearance changed Dr. Henry McCoy had told him that the Kryptonite held him back from changing into his correct appearance, he also had a theory, and it was that he was starting to take on the appearance of what he should have looked like before the magical adoption, but he would always have parts of him that would still look like the Potters, which Harry was fine with.

He was confined to the infirmary for another week, so he could rest and get 'reintroduced' to food, as Jean told him.

In the afternoon the week after he arrived, a common visitor that came was Logan to check up on him. He was glad to see him awake early that day and said with a grin that he could finally take a shower. He showed him where the bathroom was, and told him to take as long as he wanted. He also passed him a comb, a toothbrush and toothpaste before shutting the door.

An hour later, a much cleaner Harry walked out of the steam filled room to see Jean sitting on his bed reading a newspaper. Upon closer inspection he could see that the pictures were moving. A wizard paper! And not just any paper, it was the Daily Prophet! "Congratulations Harry! You've become Britain's most wanted man! Good thing you're safe here in the States!" She grinned at him, scooting over on the bed so that he could read too. The article proclaimed that he had indeed broken out of Azkaban and there was a very large reward for him, dead or alive.

"Where did you get this? We are in America" said Harry confused.

"I have an owl drop me the paper every so often" said Jean as Harry let out a small 'oh'.

"You know after you were taken away, strange things started happening" said Jean looking at him. "There were break-ins at the ministry, in the Department of Mysteries, although I don't know what for. Then Dumbledore started announcing to the public that Voldemort had returned. The press said he was loosing his touch and a load of other crap. They still won't admit it but most people know Dumbledore is telling the truth. At least now they do. England is a mess, the whole place is divided! The ministry against Dumbledore and his people and the public swaying from side to side, and the muggles in the middle totally unaware of the reasons behind the attacks that have been happening."

Harry didn't say anything he just stared at the paper in his hands.

'They deserve it for what they did to us' said a voice at the back of his head.

'Yeah well they made a mistake' said another voice in his head 'people make mistakes all the time.'

'They just could have looked through our memories, its not that hard you know' said the other voice.

'You're right, but just because some people were stupid enough to believe that I killed Cedric, doesn't mean they all do, if I ever go back I am going to make sure that I only trust those who are trustworthy, the rest can take a hike' thought Harry.

"You okay Harry" said Jean concerned. His expressions were changing from one to another.

"Huh...oh yeah I'm fine" said Harry as he was brought back from his thoughts.

"Alright then," she said as she got up from the bed. "Are you hungry?"

"Starving" said Harry as Jean went to go get him some food.

Harry seemed very fond of both Jean and Logan very quickly. They were like parents to him.

Jean and Logan spent the most time with Harry, often explaining how things worked at the Institute, about the Danger Room where the students learned to control their powers and work as a team. (Logan had also warned him of the early morning danger room sessions that he assured him he would learn to hate but would have to get used to).

His recovery had been slow, but with both Jean and Dr. McCoy constantly feeding him vitamins and healthy foods, he was slowly restoring his appetite.

When Jean had decided he was well enough, the Professor had informed him that he could move into his new room. Walking through the institute had given him his first glance of where he was to be staying and he had been impressed. Jean had told him that they were living in a mansion, but Harry could see now how beautiful it was. The hard wood floors and the warm colors had made Harry very relaxed. It was a far cry from the stone hallways of Hogwarts.

As Logan and Jean showed him his room it shocked him beyond belief. The room was really large, larger then the Gryffindor dorm rooms. The room was white that had a bit of red and blue to it. There was a large bed in the middle of the room; it had blue covers with red pillows with a night stand right next to it. The ceiling looked just like the night sky itself as he walked in the middle of the room. There was also a TV, a closet, a bathroom, a desk to do his homework; he had a red dresser that was already occupied with some basic colored sweaters and shirts, along with a few pairs of pants.

Jean and Logan decided to leave so Harry could settle in and change out of those god awful clothes. As he lay down on his bed he sighed.

'This is what I call a home' he thought smiling for the first times in ages.

After a few minutes of lying on the bed someone knocked on his door. He got up and opened the door to find two people standing in front of him.

The first boy was about his age, he had brown hair and the lightest blue eyes ever. The second boy had blue skin, tattoos all over his body that looked like angelic symbols, had an arrowhead tail and yellow eyes.

"Hey what's up? My name is Bobby Drake" said the blue eyed boy.

"Nice to meet you Bobby" said Harry awkwardly "My name is Ha-"

"Harry Potter, yeah we know" said the blue boy that had a heavy German accent. "My name is Kurt Wagner. But in the Munich circus, I was known as The Incredible Nightcrawler!"

"I see" said Harry looking him up and down.

"Are you British?" asked Bobby.

"No, but I was raised there for most of my life" said Harry.

"Oh, cool accent" said Bobby.

"Yeah" said Kurt.

"So what do need" Harry asked the two teenagers.

"Oh, we are here to show you around the school" said Bobby grabbing Harry's arm and dragged him out of his room then closed the door.

"Lets get started shall we?" said Bobby as the three of them started to walk down the halls.

(X)

Both Bobby and Kurt had led him on a tour of the mansion, showing him where the bathroom was, along with the kitchen, dinning hall, game room, and library. They had also shown him their room which was down the hall and their mutant powers.

After a while though. He had noticed the lack of other students. When he had been in the infirmary he had seen a few people pass by his door with various cuts and scrapes, all giving him curious glances before going on their way, but now the place seemed deserted. He asked Bobby and Kurt where everyone was and they had told him that the older students were at the mall, and the rest were on a field trip with Dr. McCoy. "Don't worry; you'll be meeting them all tonight at dinner." They had told him and upon seeing his nervousness.

Two hours later, Harry, Bobby and Kurt playing Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War in Harry's room.

"Watch it!"

"Move to the left!"

"There is a missile headed right at you!"

'BOOM'

"YOU FRIGGIN IDIOT!"

"Don't yell at him Bobby, this is his first try, and besides it was just one missile it takes at least three to bring him down"

"Shut up Kurt!"

"You shut ice boy"

"Iceman, ICEMAN!"

"Would you both shut up already?" said Harry laughing silently at the two teens who were bickering at each other and his new best friends "Jeez it's just a game."

"Just a game?" said Bobby "Just a...Harry if you don't die then I-we will be on the 12th mission."

Harry laughed as Kurt mimicked Bobby silently.

"What are you laughing about?" asked Bobby.

"Nothing, nothing" said Harry as Logan walked in the room.

"Hey you three better get washed up, dinner is soon" he said before retreating back out the door as Harry felt his insides turn to ice at the proclamation. He had forgotten about that. Instantly his fears returned and thoughts of how the students were going to react to him filled his head.

Seeing the look of panic that had crossed his face, Kurt spoke "Its going to be fine Harry you'll see. I've never heard of the students totally rejecting a new recruit on the first day."

"How do you know?" asked Harry

"Well uh...I didn't get accepted at first because I wasn't confident in myself because of my appearance so I didn't talk to anyone" said Kurt looking at is feet.

"But we accepted him and his confidence grew" piped in Bobby as he turned off the game (before saving it) and the TV.

That seemed to calm Harry down a bit but the twisting in his gut remained. When Harry had washed up he met Bobby and Kurt in front of the dinning room doors.

Bobby had gone in the dinning room to tell the Professor that they were outside and waiting. The professor had said something like properly introducing Harry to the Institute. Really Harry just wanted to run back to his room. He didn't really need to eat, hell he wasn't even sure if he could keep food down in the state he was in.

"Don't worry Harry" said Kurt reassuringly. "Everything will be fine."

'Think happy thoughts think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts' thought Harry as he shifted his weight from one foot to another but stopped when he heard Jean's muffled voice through the closed doors.

"Tonight we will be having a new student joining us here and just to inform you all he is my nephew..." he heard some gasps "...and my godson."

There were even more gasps followed along with some no way's and dude's and what's.

"...I want all of you on your best behavior. He's had a hard time recuperating and an even worst past so nothing surprising. Bobby that means you can stop icing that chair..." Harry smirked at that. Just after the few hours of meeting Kurt and Bobby, he learned that there were a few pranksters here including Bobby, from what Kurt says it seems that Bobby is the master prankster here."...Just be calm tonight and don't pressure him to answer any questions he doesn't feel like answering. It's that understood?" The two eavesdroppers heard a chorus of yes's and sure's before Jean popped her head around the door and said with a large smile that they were ready for them now.

"I can NOT believe you Ronald Weasley!" said a bushy brown haired girl walking in the Gryffindor common room with her so-called boyfriend.

"Hermione, they do not belong here in this world. They should all burn in hell along with the Malfoy's and You-know-who!"

"Ginny, Dean, Lavender, Seamus you guys agree with me, that mutants don't belong at Hogwarts or this world!" Ron said, glaring at Hermione before they both saw Ginny, Lavender, Dean and Seamus all talking excitedly about the Hogsmead weekend coming up.

"Duh" said Dean. "They are disgrace to this bloody world."

"How can you say that Dean!" said Hermione disgust clearly written all over her face. "What if Seamus was a mutant, would you still be friends with him?"

"Please Hermione I would kill my self if I was a mutant" said Seamus as Hermione glared at all of them.

"You all sicken me!" said Hermione before she ran up to her dorm now completely pissed off. She heard Ron called her but she closed the door and cast the silence charm on it.

'Calm down Hermione, if you don't you will surely kill Ron' she thought.

As Harry walked in the room he could see the once empty dinning room was now filled with dishes and plates full of food, and the seats filled with students, most he noticed were around his age, but some where younger. They were all looking at him with mixed faces of curiosity and interest. Harry felt his stomach do flip flops until Jean stepped up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder before facing the table.

"Everyone I would like to introduce you to Harry Potter, my nephew and godson."
