Harry Potter grew up in secrecy with a large loving family. Their were his parents Minerva Mcgonagall and Albus Dumbledore. His older brother Nathan, who was three years older than him, though despite the age difference they were as close as the twins. Then there were the twins themselves Evan and Elizabeth, who were seven years older than him.

During the school year Nathan, the twins and Harry lived at Hogwarts with their parents and their nanny Madame Murphy. The twins being eight years old had started their primary education three years ago through the use of a private tutor who came to the school in the morning and left in the after noon. He was of course sworn to secrecy through the use of an unbreakable vow. None of the Dumbledore children could go to Hogwarts as students, except for Harry who had to because he was also the boy-who-lived, because the world couldn't know who their parents were. It would give them a lot of enemy's and their parents a lot of problems. They all would understand this in time but that didn't mean that they liked it.

Every day after classes Albus and Minerva would come to the wing of the castle they had claimed as their own and spend time with their children. The family literally had an entire tower to themselves. Albus Dumbledore had asked Hogwarts for somewhere to raise his children privately and he had received.

There were seven bed rooms. One master bedroom for Albus and Minerva, and a room for each Harry, Nathan, Evan, and Elizabeth. Though the twins usually slept in the same room, unless they were mad at each other which rarely happened. Then of course there was a room for Madame Murphy who spent the week living in the rooms and then went home for the weekends leaving Albus and Minerva in charge. The last bedroom was a guest room for any visitor they might have, though it was rarely used.

There were also playrooms, dinning areas, a room full of musical instruments, and another full of canvases and paints. Minerva loved to paint and was quite good. There was also a court yard that was magically hidden away from the rest of the school that allowed the children to play outside without having to be careful of who was watching them. Then there were him and her studies for Albus and Minerva to do paper work in, each was connceted to their offices for easily access .

When summer would come the family would go to a cottage on the French shore or they would go either to the Mcgonagall family manor or the Dumbledore family estate. Neither Albus or Minerva had touched any of the Potter family holdings, it was mutually decided that they would leave them as they were until Harry came of age and claimed them.

Elizabeth was the oldest child beating her brother by three full minutes. Her full name is Elizabeth Athena Anne Mcgonagal-Dumbledore. She is a very studious child and takes her duties as oldest very seriously. She 's the responsible one who always tries to look grown up in front of everyone. She also has a strict sense of right and wrong. Albus always says she's exactly like her mother had been and is. She's tall for her age like all the other children are and has aristocratic features carried on from her mother. Her hair is long, wavy, and a deep auburn color, a few shades darker than Albus's was when he was young. She has her mothers dark green eyes and her fathers slightly more olive toned skin. Even as a child she was already showing signs of being very beautiful.

Her twin Evan was the opposite of her despite them being twins. His full name is Evan Ares Mathew McGonangall-Dumbledore. He's a trouble maker who lives to play pranks and tell jokes. One of his foremost joys in life come from making people laugh. He is the one his sister always has to try and keep out of trouble. He also has a deep set of virtue's that always keep him from passing the thin line between fun and cruelness. Being kind and helpful is ingrained in his DNA. He's one of those people who would give away everything he had to make someone else happy. He's the same height as Elizabeth but in looks they are as opposite as their attitudes. Not to say Elizabeth is cruel but she is more self preservative then her brother. Evan too has the aristocratic features of his mother but that was it in similarities. His hair is inky black, thick and curled at the ends. Minerva's color with Albus's style. He also has his fathers cornflower blue eyes, though his don't twinkle like his fathers. And despite all of the time he spends in the sun his skin remains the same flawless ivory his mother bares. The thing that is most notable about Evan is the fact that he is always smiling.

Nathan, called Nate by the family, is a carbon copy of Albus. His full name is Nathan Apollo Nicolas McGonagall-Dumbledore. He has longish auburn hair that falls down bellow his ears and curls at the very end like Evans. His eyes are the exact same shade as his father though they too didn't twinkle. He was tall for his age and stood proud but not arrogantly. His curiosity was already very well known even though he was still very young. Every day he would asked question after question driving Madam Murphy to the brink of insanity. He wanted to know why things worked and what happened if you put certain things together. Everyone had already pegged him as a scholar. He was already reading small books with the help of Elizabeth and sometimes Evan by the young age of four.

Harry and Nate are the closest siblings followed by Elizabeth and Evan. Nate took it as his personal responsibility to look after Harry and since Elizabeth was increasingly busy with keeping Evan out of trouble it was easy for him to become the older brother. He would read to Harry with his limited skills, play with him, and try and teach him all the things he already knew. By the end of Harry's first month at Hogwarts Nathan had already firmly established that he would be taking care of teaching Harry everything he knew even if it was clear that Harry was to young to understand what Nathan was trying to teach him.

When Harry was eight Elizabeth and Evan took their Owls and left home, for the first time without either Albus, Minerva or Madame Murphy, to study for their Newts. They would be out in the world learning form different mentors and masters Monday thru Friday and then they would come home every Friday night to spend the weekend with the family.

This was also the year Nathan started learning magic. Which left little Harry with many hours without his siblings and with nothing to do. This development led to Harry getting martial arts lessons in London. Something that Harry loved to do and was quite good at. Martial arts of course led to all sorts of other sports that Nathan would occasionally join in. Harry had for the last three years before Hogwarts become a little jock. Every week day he had some sport to attend after his primary lessons, but the week end was strictly family time.

During his last summer before Hogwarts the family spent two months of their vacation down in the cottage by the shore. At first Harry was disappointed because their weren't many sports he could play. That was until he discovered the art of surfing at the local village. It was something he would come to love and get better at as time went by.

Harry himself grew up into a smart, polite, and privileged, young lad. All of the children were smart Nathan especially so but Harry excelled in practical magic and history. He would in his spare time, with the help of Nathan, nick history books from his parents studies so he could read and retain all the knowledge he could. For hours he would loose himself in the tails of magical battles and the brave wizards who fought in them. He'd been awestruck when he read about his fathers defeat of the dark wizard Grindelwald. He was well above first year knowledge and could probably take his OWL's.

Albus and Minerva had decided before they had ever had any children that they would not to lie to any of them if it was in their capability. As a direct result of this Harry grew up knowing that Albus and Minerva weren't his birth parents, but his adopted ones, through the use of a blood ritual. He also knew he was the wizarding worlds hero because he had survived the worlds worst and most unforgivable curse when he was only a year old. He would sit for hours at a time and listen to his parents tell stories about his birth parents and he had even saw Lily and James' wedding in his fathers pensieve.

The year before Harry was due to enter Hogwarts the twins turned seventeen. They took their Newts and passed with thirteen each, something very good and not easily attainable. Elizabeth entered an apprenticeship as a Healer at St. Mungo's. Evan on the other hand was recruited by the London Lions Quiditch team as a reserve chaser. He knew he couldn't play quiditch his entire life so he was also doing a extended training program with the aurors.

The twins absence, if possible, made Harry and Nathan even closer than before. Now it was only them, their parents, and Madame Murphy. Though she would be leaving the summer before Harry went into Hogwarts.

Everyday after they woke up Nathan and Harry would help Madame Murphy make breakfast for everyone, Evan was in charge of the toast while Harry got the juice and silver wear. Madame Murphy had taught the children all how to cook, she said it was a skill everyone needed to know. They would eat with their parents until it was time for them to go make their appearance in the Great Hall. After breakfast Nate would rush off to his lessons and Harry would floo over to a magical book store that was only a block away from the sports complex that he played at. His dad had made special arrangements with the manager for Harry to use the floo twice a day.

From there he would either go to martial arts lessons or go to soccer practice. When his practice was over he would usually play games with some of his friends that came there for a while before leaving to go home. Most of his muggle friends thought that he lived with a strick old aunt who sent him to the complex to keep out of trouble. Which worked out well because he could never bring any of them over to his house though he would occasionally go to theirs.

Sorry about the delay. School just started and I'm already feeling the pressue. Who ever convinced me to take honors chemestry, pre calculus, physics and ap english all during my junior year has my deepest contempt.

I should be updating every weekend as long as I don't have any projects or papers.

Review me and tell me if you like it or not. I'm new at this and I know I'm not the best writer any tips you could offer would be great.
