Chapter 3

Six years later

Harry found that he preferred the muggle world over the magical world for many things. One of the most important reasons was that no one knew about his twin Jake Potter. People always wanted to be around him and bask in his suppose glory. And Jake loved it. He was just like James when he was Jake's age, arrogant and pompous. He wasn't just like James in personality but looks as well. He was a mini-clone of James. Harry took after his mother thankfully in looks but he did get his father hair color and some of his aristocratic features. If you compared Harry and Jake, Harry was the one that fit the description of a hero. People didn't even noticed that Harry and Jake was twins unless was told.

While his mother was mostly wrapped up with Jake, Harry was left to his own devices. He was lucky enough to find a friend that like him for who he was instead of who he was related to. Her name was Hermione Lestrange. She was the daughter of the infamous deatheaters Bellatrix & Rodulphus Lestrange. Despite what her parents stood for, Hermione didn't think that way. No, she was not another Arthur Weasley but she had a respect for them. She found it weak and cowardly to kill them off for something they have no control over like being born without magic. Hermione believed that muggles were just squibs that was casted out of their families. Harry believed that as well as it would explain the existence of muggleborns.

She was the best friend he could ask for. Hermione knew a lot about magic and taught it to him. She was trained since birth by her parents, Voldemort and a few other deatheaters to be the best deatheater possible. You would think an eleven year old who only spent the first five years with her parents couldn't learn much but it was quite the opposite.

Bellatrix and Rodulphus had Voldemort to age up their daughter to 11 so they could train her. So as a newborn baby, she had maturity and a thought pattern much more mature than it should be. When Voldemort was destroyed when she was five, she was still stuck as an eleven. Harry still remembers meeting her five years ago.

Flashback

It had been a year since Voldemort was defeated and Hermione had been alone trying to navigate her way around the world. She really didn't have a direction until she stumbled upon, Godric's Hollow. She was walking through a forest when she sensed magic and followed.

Harry had been upset with Jake for taking his toy and unfortunately caused a burst of accidental magic that knocked Jake on the ground. He wasn't hurt and didn't have a scratch on him but his parents didn't take it that way. He hurt the boy-who-lived so it was a major crime in their opinion.

"Look what you did! What the hell is wrong with you? Do you have any…. I mean any idea whatsoever what your brother has ahead of him! Do you have any idea what he will have to deal with when he's older? The world is on this boy's shoulders, and he's struggling enough! But what does his own brother do? He knocks him down! He has enough strain as it is; he's just struggling to stand with so much weight on his little shoulders! And what do you do? You just push him over and laugh!" He paused to catch his breathe.

The boy took the opportunity to open his mouth and emit a whispered, "I'm sorry."

"Bollocks!" Was the yelled response.

And then it happened.

One of the man's clenched hands flung up and slapped across the child's young face with such force that he was knocked backwards and onto the ground.

Hermione watched in anger as this happen but knew at the moment she was too weak to fight off the wizard. She was disgusted as she watched James, Lily and Jake walk away and leaving Harry on the ground. When the others left, Hermione approached him before he left.

"Are you okay" said Hermione.

Harry turned around and saw a girl about his age walking out of the forest.

"I am okay" said Harry.

"It doesn't look like it" said Hermione.

"Where did you come from" asked Harry trying to change the subject.

"All over" she stated.

"Well I got to go" said Harry.

"Can I come with you" said Hermione impulsively.

"I don't think my parents will let me take you in and what about your family" asked Harry.

"I can turn into an animal and my family dead" said Hermione annoying the family comment.

"Okay but only if you are small" said Harry.

Hermione turned into a pipistrelle bat. She was very small and brown. Flying over to Harry, she landed in his front shirt pocket.

"I guess I have a new pet" said Harry as he walked back to Potter Manor with Hermione in his pocket.

End of Flashback

As Jake, James and Lily rarely was around nowadays, Harry was glad he had Hermione to occupy his time. They had become the best of friends and were more like siblings than friends.

"I can't believe they are punishing me yet again for something Jake did" pouted Harry. He was forced to stay home instead of going to Diagon Alley because Jake stole James' wand and burnt up the living room. Harry who was in his room at the time was being punished for not coming to get them. Sometimes he wondered what his parents were thinking or if they could think at all.

"Forget about them. You are too good for them and they are jealous of your greatness" said Hermione. That was what Harry liked about her. She was the only one who cared for him nowadays. His parents were wrapped up in Jake and his Uncle Remus was off doing Order business or something like that.

"I can't wait until I can get away from them so I will not always be locked up inside this house" groaned Harry.

"We could sneak out and be back before they even noticed" said Hermione.

"But I don't…know" said Harry.

"Please we will have fun and if you do get in trouble, I promise to make myself look like you and do all the chores while you are the lazy bat for the day" said Hermione.

Both Hermione and Harry were Metamorphmagi. Metamorphmagus is a witch or wizard with the ability to change his or her physical appearance at will, rather than requiring a Potion or a spell like the rest of the wizarding population. They are extremely rare.

Unlike Animagi, Metamorphmagi can take a variety of forms, changing gender, race, and age, potentially looking like anyone at all, or even just changing a part of their appearances, such as the shape of their noses. Metamorphmagi may transform into any living creature.

"Okay" said Harry.

They used the floo in Lily and James' room as it was unmonitored. They flooed to Leaky Cauldron so they could go into London. The one good thing about a Metamorphmagus was that you could be anyone and no one will be the wiser. Hermione and Harry looked like twins who where around 13.

They went to the hospital where they volunteered a lot at. During one of their times exploring, they had stumbled across the children ward in this hospital and had played with the other children and would come by whenever they could. It was something they loved to do.

Walking into the children's ward, they had bags full of games, toys and the like. They had fun playing with them all but each had their favorite. Hermione really cared about a little girl named Stephanie. She was 3, an orphan and battling cancer. She was such a fighter and never complained. She could be feeling terrible but will always have a smile on her face saying everything is alright. She was tough and they expect her to make a full recovery.

Harry's favorite was a 3 year old named Steven and like Stephanie had cancer and was really brave. He had a father but he had a problem coming to visit as he had a drinking problem. He was having problems dealing with a sick child and the face his wife died sick months ago in a car accident.

They would play with all the children and always remembering to bring what each child like to play with the most. The children like them because they didn't treat them like they were sick but like regular kids. They were just like any other children but just sicker. They would play dress up, board games and the such. When they were done, Hermione and Harry always felt like they had accomplished something by just putting a smile on their faces.

Hermione and Harry were currently in the room Stephanie and Steven shared.

"Hermy, can you read me the princess story, again" asked Stephanie. She loved anything with princesses in it. I favorite story was Beauty and the Beast. They had watched the movie together a dozen of times.

"Yes, my little princess. I will read it to you and if we have time, I will read you Snow White as well" said Hermione.

"Yeah" cheered Stephanie settling down to hear her story.

"Harry, read me the dinosaur book" asked Steven.

"You mean Rex the nice T-Rex" asked Harry already knowing that was the story he wanted to hear.

"Yep" answered Steven.

By the time, they finished the stories both children where fast asleep. Tucking them in, Harry and Hermione walked out of the room and tried their best not to wake them.

"Harry and Hermione, it is nice to see you here" said Nurse Wells. She was the one that had okayed it for them to come play with the children and was always praising them.

"Thanks, I just hate we will not be back to see them for a long time" said Hermione with regret. She hated that she would be going off to Hogwarts with Harry and leaving her little Stephanie behind.

"Now, you two I understand it is hard but you have to think of yourselves. You have been accepted to a prestigious boarding school and I will not hear of you giving it up." said Nurse Wells. She realize they were thinking about doing just that and she couldn't allow they to throw away their futures. She knew they cared for the children and did wonders with them but they had to think about themselves.

"We know but what if they forget about me" said Harry.

"I promise you that they won't and I will remind them of you two. Now as you are suppose to be leaving in a few weeks, I would think you have some packing to do so go do it and do your best at school for me" said Nurse Wells giving the two big hugs before pushing them toward the exit.

Glancing back a few times, they eventually made their way out of the hospital and toward the Leaky Cauldron and flooed home.

Harry and Hermione made it home before the other Potters and they were surprised by a house guest Prof. McGonagall, she came to personally deliver Jake's letter.

"Minerva, it is nice to see you. Would you like to see and have a cup of tea" said Lily.

"No, I am a bit short for time but I wanted to bring you Jake's Hogwarts letter personally" smiled Minerva pulling the letter out of her pocket.

"That's wonderful because Jake has been worried he wouldn't get a letter" said Lily before calling Jake. "JAKE! Come here. Your Hogwarts letter is here"

There was a noise from up stairs as Jake rush downstairs to get his letter with James not far behind him.

"My letter is really here" said Jake excitedly.

"Yes, and here it is" said Minerva handing him the letter. Jake ripped opened the letter and read it.

"Can we go get my supplies now" whined Jake.

"Impatient just like your father" teased Lily. "And yes we can go"

"Well I will be leaving you to your business" said Minerva using the floo to leave.

Hermione and Harry who were watching this all unfold couldn't believe the nerve of the woman for forgetting to bring his letter.

They went back into the library to forget about those three. They heard them leave not long afterwards and Hermione was glad as she didn't have to be a bat.

"Do you think I didn't get in" asked Harry nervously.

"Harry, you are more magically than your brother and I know you got into Hogwarts. Your letter is coming by owl remember so it takes long. It will be here soon I promise" said Hermione knowing she was right.

The next morning Harry's letter arrived and so did one addressed for Hermione which they found weird.

"How did you end up with a letter" asked Harry.

"I guess the school's magic recognized me as eleven and not dangerous so sent one to me. This is so fun as we can go school together. Lets go get our supplies. Please Harry" said Hermione.

"Okay," said Harry.

Harry wasn't exactly looking forward to attending Hogwarts as he knew that he would have to deal with all those people that worshipped his brother. He could tell that the staff was already favoring his brother as Prof. McGonagall hand delivered Jake's Hogwarts letter while Harry's came by owl. When it came time for them to go shopping for the supplies, James and Lily took Jake but Harry was going to have to go with Hermione and he didn't mind but who would let an eleven year out on their own.

Harry was just lucky that he had the key to his vault as he doubted that his parents would remember to purchase him anything or give him the money for it.

Harry found himself fuming over this. What responsible adult allows an eleven year old to wander around by themselves when anyone could just grab them up but Harry was already familiar with such treatment so didn't allow it to bother him. It wasn't like he would be in Hogwarts alone as his best friend Hermione would be going with him as well.

Before going to get their supplies, Hermione and Harry headed into Gringotts. Harry wasn't sure which house he was going to be sorted into but he knew that Gryffindor was out. So Harry decided to go to Gringotts to make sure he was financially okay if James decided to disinherit him.

Walking into Gringotts, they asked for Griphook. He was the first goblin they dealt with and the one they trusted the most.

They asked to have a private meeting with him as they didn't need anyone knowing about this.

"Mr. Potter and Miss Lestrange, what can I do for you today" said Griphook in one of his friendlier tones. It was rare that a goblin spoke kindly to a human but these two had earn Griphook and many others respect over the years. They didn't look down on the goblins but was very respectful.

"As you know I will be attending Hogwarts this year and I need your help in making sure that I am financially okay if by chance James disinherit me for not being a Gryffindor" said Harry.

"Yes, I can do that for you" said Griphook.

"How" asked Hermione fascinated as always by the opportunity to gain more knowledge. That is the reason she liked coming to Gringotts as she always learn something new.

"Well the Potter vaults like many others have stipulations that keep children from being left without nothing in the event of being disinherited. I will do that for you but I would also like you to take an inheritance test as it will tell you of any other vaults and such you have acquired. It would be a wise decision to make as I can make it so only you and those you trust will have access to them. If not your parents could" said Griphook.

"I would like to do that but can you do it for Hermione as well." asked Harry.

"Yes, this inheritance test that I will perform will be a bit more detailed than others. It will not only tell you what you have inherited like money or property wise but magic as well along with any blocks you have" said Griphook.

"Okay, we will love it if you could do it for us Master Griphook" said Hermione remembering her lessons of proper manners when dealing with Goblins.

Griphook took out a dagger and sliced slice their palms and made it bleed on a magical parchment and then he performed a spell on that parchment. Harry and Hermione were impressed how their wounds immediately healed.

"Most of the powers shown for you two is not accessible as of yet. You can use your wandless and elemental abilities quite well but they have limits as you have not reached your magical maturity. You will have access to as your magic grows."

"How am I Lord Potter" asked Harry.

"Because your family magic deemed you worthy of that title. James just uses it like many others" said Griphook.

"Sir, is there anything special about being a Lady and Lord" asked Hermione.

"Well you two are emancipated in both the wizarding and muggle world, you have seats in things like the Wizengomat, on the board of governors, etc but you can't use your seats until you are 16. You can however appoint someone to vote for you." said Griphook.

They eventually went over money, properties, etc. with Griphook and made him their manager as he seemed very trust worthy and helpful to them.

Harry also learnt that he could cut his family from the main Potter vault which he did and by the way his parents like spending money he knew that sooner or later they would run out of money. He couldn't wait for that day to come.

After leaving Gringotts, Harry and Hermione looked over their list again and decided to go get their clothing items first. They went to Twilfitt and Tatting's instead of Malkin's as they service and quality of the clothing was much better. They did get their uniforms but were talked into purchasing dress robes etc.

Done with the clothing, they went to the Luggage shop next to purchase trunks. They left with a trunk that contain a Clothes cupboard, a Nearly endless Library, Potion Cupboard and four addition compartments for other things. They also had the best protection place on them. They also purchased book bags that had featherweight and undetectable extension charms on it along with protection added. They were talked into purchasing a choker that allow them to speak, write, read and understand any language and the choker eventually absorbs into your skin. It was rather expensive but they thought it was worth it.

After leaving the Luggage shop, they headed to stationary shop and purchased what they would need along with Dictating, Spell & Grammar-checking, and refilling quills. They found two journals that were pairs that would allow them to write back and forth with each other without others being able to.

They got their cauldron but bought two extras a piece just encase. Two extra sets of glass and crystal phials, telescope, set of brass scales. Brittle's Apothecary was were they purchased their potion ingredients and tools as it had the best quality ingredients even though the price was higher than the others. It was well worth it in Hermione and Harry's opinion.

They didn't have to get wands as they go them when they were eight, they had decided to get their wands but knew that Ollivander wouldn't sell them one so they had went to Knockturn Alley. Their wands were much more in tuned with their magic than Ollivanders as they were custom-made. While they didn't really want wands, they knew it would draw too much attention at Hogwarts to not have them and they rather keep it a secret that they could use wandless magic.

Hermione's wand was a 10¾" vine wood, with a core that consisted of the heartstring of a black dragon and unicorn hair.

Harry Potter's wand was a 11 inch, holly, with a core that consisted of a phoenix feather (not Fawkes) and Thestral's hair.

They were very unique and powerful wands that was a bit pricey as the cores uses were hard to come by.

Their last stop was Flourish and Blotts. They got the required course books along with any addition reading they might need.

When they were done with Diagon Alley, they went to the muggle world to purchase additional supplies. They placed all they had gotten at Diagon Alley in their satchels that could hold it all. The first purchased enough muggle writing utensils like pencils, pencils, notes and the such that would last them all year or at least until the Christmas Holidays.

Then they went clothing shopping and purchase all the things they would like to wear and the such. By the time, they were done a good portion of the day was gone when they flooed back to the Potter house. They were in luck that no one was around.

Going up to Harry's room they took out all their belongings and began to get it all organized as it would mean less trouble later. After getting things the way they liked it, they began reading over the first years course books. They really didn't need to as they had already read through James and Lily's but did it as some things change over time.

A/N: This style is something new I am trying.
