DISCLAIMER : HEY… I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER. I AM USING THIS J.K.R WORLD SHAMELESSLY. : P
This story is AU.
I am planning to make this as a series for all 7 years but the chapters will not be big later as I will have to go slowly and build up the AU.
CHAPTER 1 : The Letter :
"Harry… Get up, you lazy ass. Get your butt down this instance" rang a voice all through 11, Godric's Hollow. A rush of steps could be heard on the stairs which led to the second floor. The figure stopped at the last door of the plush and elegant corridor. Without a knock the figure entered the room and saw an 11 year old Harry Potter. Without any further thought, the figure jumped on the unsuspecting, sleeping boy.
Harry potter woke up with a start only to see his best friend take a leap on him. Before he could react, the figure was on him jumping and bouncing as if he was a trampoline.
"BLAISE… GERROFFF… " said an annoyed, half awake Harry. Harry was not a morning person. Blaise was his best friend but sometimes he doubted about her sanity. Blaise was completely hyper today, Harry didn't know why.
"What are you doing here Blaise? Is it not proper to knock at someone's door before entering? And why the hell are you all dressed up?" said Harry not making heads or tails about his best friends behavior.
"I got my letter. I got my letter. Ooh I have been waiting for so long. Come on get up Harry. I wanna show-off." Came a cheerful reply that annoyed Harry to no end.
"Alright alright, I am up. Jeez Blaise, damn you are heavy… " Mumbled Harry in response.
"Are you saying I am fat?" asked Blaise in a soft but dangerous tone.
Harry… realizing he was close to be punched said "No no Blaise … it's just a… umm… muggle expression. You know when people are woken up by annoyingly cheerful best friends."
"Oh well… get dressed and come down. I am waiting." Saying this Blaise walked out of his room skipping and singing a Weird Sister Song.
Harry sat there scratching his head. He sometimes feared for the girl's sanity.
((- -))
15 minutes later Harry came downstairs only to see breakfast was already served. He saw his whole family as well as Sirius and Remus and Blaise munching on food. He saw his mother and father fussing over his brother Godric like there was no tomorrow. He saw Blaise watching this with a little frown but went back to eating her chocolate Sunday happily. He saw Sirius and Remus talking about something secretly. Shaking his head he walked to the table as Blaise saw him and raised her eyebrow with much practiced ease.
Harry was about to say something when a loud screeching sound gained everybody's attention. Looking towards the window, he saw two owls coming in and drop two letters on the table. They took a sip from the drink and flew away.
Harry saw the letters. They were from Hogwarts. Immediately his mother, Lily, squealed and hugged Godric. His father, James, looked at Godric with a face that showed pride all over.
"Well done son. I knew you would get it. I am proud of you." Said James.
Harry bend forward and took his letter from the owl. he looked at Blaise, who was grinning like an idiot. Tearing it open, he read
HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY
Headmaster: ALBUS DUMBLEDORE
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme
Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)
Dear Mr. Potter,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all
necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress
He was distracted when Lily started rambling…
"Oooohhh we have to go to Diagon Alley. You need to get books, and quills, and parchments, and clothes… ooh there is so much to do. Finish breakfast then we will take you."
Harry watched all this. He was deeply hurt by this behavior of his parents but he schooled his face with the mask of indifference, which he had developed after years of neglect. True… the potters never abused him, or beat him. They never even scolded him. But they certainly did not love him. He was the third wheel of the family. A face who no one would notice missing in their perfect family picture. He did not mind this though. He had long given up expectations from his family. He only cared about his friends.
He and Godric, though twins did not have anything in common, not even looks. Though from far both of them would look remarkably similar, closer inspection would show that where Godric got his looks from James who was roguishly build, Harry got his athletic build and elegant looks from his mother, which annoyed him to no end. He was a little short for his age but his overall looks did give him a very cute and adorable look which when added with his intelligent, stunning green eyes, made girls swoon all over him (even though he is only 11) and mothers adore him to no end. Except my own…
Harry coughed to get his parents attention.
"Me and Blaise are going out. We won't be home for lunch." Saying this, he took his friends arm and walked out of the house.
