Chapter 2 The Potter Family

While Lily was casting a diagnostic charm on Harry, three young men entered the room unobrtusively and went near the head of the Potter Family, James Potter. James was a senior auror at the Ministry of Magic. Witches and wizards alike respected and admired James for his unprejudiced view of purebloods, muggleborns and other magical beings alike. Blood was not an issue on the Potter family. It has been that way for many generations, and James has imparted that knowledge to his sons.

The eldest of the four Potter sons were a set of twins by the name of Orion James Potter and Leo John Potter. The identical twins inherited the infamous messy black hair and hazel eyes of their father. Fortunately the near blindness of their father was not inherited. Lily's genes took care that none of the Potter kids inherited the bad eyes. The Potter kids all had 20/20 perfect vision. In other words, aside from the glasses, the twins look exactly like the younger version of James Potter. They were both handsome 20 year-old men and were also aurors.

The third young man that entered the room was Samuel Luthor Potter. He is 17 years old and looks like a combination of Lily and James. He also has bright hazel eyes but with straight red hair that was cut short in typical boy fashion. Of the three elder siblings, Sam short for Samuel was closest to the youngest potter, Little Harry.

Sam looked in on concern and was the only one to notice the panic in the bright green eyes of Harry. (Harry) was the only one who inherited the color of their mother's eyes. He began to wonder just what did the damn kidnappers do to his little brother while in captivity.

Meanwhile, Harry was still overwhelmed by the surprising yet familiar blue magic that surrounded him. He was confused and kind of scared at the happenings around him. He unconsciously clutched the shaggy fur of the friendly Snuffles beside him on the bed, and was continually looking for an exit.

It was then that Harry noticed the three adult teens that entered the room. Oh crap, there are now five people in the room. He really doesn't do crowds, but then the people in the room seemed familiar. He has a strong feeling that they meant him no harm and they weren't strangers. They were family.

It was like there were two sets of memories conflicting inside his mind. One was where he was the well-cared well-loved youngest of the Potter family; and the other set of memory was where he was the abused kid taken grudgingly by the Dursleys. For now he set that aside as the blue light faded slowly from his body and went back to the wand of Lily.

Lily cast another charm that cast the same blue light in a piece of parchment. Variuos writings was now on the parchment. Lily read the writings on the parchment and signalled her husband outside the door.

"James, Harry's major problem with his injuries seems to be centered on his throat. I'm going to call Miranda, she's a throat specialist here in St. Mungos. I'm also concerned that the bones on his ribs and right leg looks to have been broken several times and wasn't healed correctly on several of these occasions. The bones need to be set right. There are also various bruises on his wrists, ankles, right leg and chest. The bruises are no problem. I'm going to Severus for the potions Harry needs."

"Now, James, I know you don't like Sev, but he's the best potions master in England. And, he is my bestfriend like you are with Sirius. For now, you take care of Harry. Your presence always calms him down."

"Lils, I know. Stop babbling and go to Severus for the potions. I know he's a decent bloke." deep deep inside, thought James inside.

"I'll go take care of our little Harry."

Lily nodded and gave her husband a smile. She then turned and walked towards the pharmacy department of St. Mungos.

James, simultaneously turned back to the door he just vacated. He opened it and went back inside.

Meanwhile, while the parents were talking with each other. Sam the second youngest of the Potters approached his favorite baby brother Harry.

"Oh Harry" Sam went nearer and hugged the little child sitting in a daze on the bed. "Are you okay? They didn't do anything worse did they? Wait, Mom warned us that you couldn't talk for a while. So just be good and don't over exert yourself for awhile."

"Yeah Harry!" chipped in the two elder twin brothers, Orion and John.

Orion the eldest of the Potter sons approached Harry and ruffled the the top of Harry's head.

John, Orion's twin, also approached Harry and also mussed the top of Harry's wavy red hair.

Wait....Red hair?!? Just a minute, Harry doesn't remember ever having red hair. For that matter this people in the room were supposed to be his brothers? What the hell is going on?

Harry hopped down the bed and scurried hurriedly to the loo inside his room. He opened and shut the door hurriedly and looked at the mirror.

WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!

While Harry was inside the bathroom, James entered the room and looked around.

"So, where's Harry?"

"He's just inside the loo, Dad." replied Sam.

"Oh okay. So Ry and John, what have you found out about the criminals who kidnapped Harry?"Asked James to his twins.

"Well Dad....

(Back in the loo with Harry...)

Harry looked at the mirror in disbelief. Who the hell was the reflection staring back at him in equal disbelief?
He looks like a BLOOdy girl!!!! His reflection's not supposed to look like a bloody girl with wavy red hair reaching his shoulders. He's supposed to have MANly messy black hair. Although if you think about it is more tame this way. I can now use a brush, but the long hair definitely has to go.

Wait a minute, it's not just the hair. His face also looks prettier!!!! He can't believe this, instead of looking like the MANLY copy of his father, he now looks like his mother!!!

SHIT!!! Instead of just his green eyes (which thank God, stayed the same), the features of his entire face was now copied from his mother. The nose, the lips, the cheeks. It's all Lily and my mother is a girl! Now Harry looks like a girl!!!!

Harry can't believe this. This is a nightmare. Wait it doesn't end there, what the hell happened to his height. He was supposed to be a respectable 5'11'' Manly guy. Now he's back to a midget. He looks like a stupid pretty faced kid!!! A kid!!!!????? What was he? Back in the age of 8?

Wait a minute, according to his other memories, he's now eleven years old. So why does he look like an eight year old with the same respective small stature.

Out of all the changes that he sees, the one thing that hit him the hardest was his height. He worked and waited so hard and long for the growth spurt. He drank milk every morning and made sure to have lots of protein to get tall.

Now, he's like a midget!!! AGAIN!!!!! He can't believe this!!!!!!!!

Harry then did the only sensible reaction at the moment, he screamed. "!!!!!"
