Chapter 3: Departure and Train ride

"Do you have everything?" James asked Daniel.

"Yes, I have everything." Daniel said with a roll of his eyes.

"Why aren't you hounding Harry like this?" Daniel asked, a bit confused at what was going on.

"I have already explained this to you, Danny," James said.

James was the only one that was able to call his son Danny, anyone else that tried would be bashed upside the head by an object in the room.

And, the worst part was, the name thing was actually an accidental magical curse. It knew when people were saying it and only made the exception for James.

Harry laughed himself silly whenever they went out in public and someone got the bright idea to say Danny-boy. The person later paid a trip to the hospital after a bookshelf fell on top of his head. He survived, but, last they checked, he had memory loss and had tried to say it again and ended up in the long term patient section of St. Mungo's.

"Explain it again," Daniel pouted.

"Fine," James sighed before continuing, "Harry decided on the other option in order to wait for your mother and have her just apparate them to Hogsmeade so that he could see her. We had this cleared by the Headmaster as he understood the fact that a parent could only be around for so long and that you had to take every opportunity to be around them."

Daniel just sighed, he could never understand why his brother did not want to be on the Hogwarts express for his first time to Hogwarts. It was so exciting!

Daniel left on the train and James went back to the house to find Harry still packing.

"Is Lily back yet?" James asked his son.

"Yes, she was in the bathroom and she just got ready and is about to leave with me." Harry said with a shrug.

"Yep, I'm ready now," Lily called down the stairs.

Lily came down the stairs in her robes and smiled at her son and husband, but, then she sighed, she knew that Harry was as distant from his father as Daniel was to her.

"Mom, are you ready to go?" Harry asked, excited at the prospect of his mom taking him to Hogwarts.

He was a momma's boy, and he was proud to admit it!

"Yes, let's go." Lily said as she saw that his things were packed and that he was ready.

She extended her hand and apparated the two of them into the Hogsmeade pub.

"Lily, it's so good to see you!" Rosmerta cried as she saw her old professor for a year.

During the time between Voldemort's attack and the time when Harry got his wand, Lily had worked as a professor for a year.

She was one of the lucky ones that didn't end up self obliviated or dead with the defense position.

"And is that little Harry," Rosmerta said with a gasp.

Harry had come to Hogwarts once during her stay as the professor because he wanted to see her, and it was in Rosemerta's class and several below her years.

Anyways, back to the story and enough with the background information.

"I'm sorry that I can't stay and chat, Rosmerta, but I have to get Harry to Hogwarts and then I have to write up a report on Greece for the minstry. They are tryng to decide whether or not to help out in the current financial crisis down there." Lily said apologetically.

"That's okay, we'll have to catch up some time." Rosmerta said as the duo of mother and son left the place.

"The way to Hogwarts is right through there, just go that way and keep up the path and the gates should open." Lily said.

"Okay, bye mum," Harry said as he kissed his mother on the cheek.

His mother did the same and smiled and waved goodbye to him.

Harry kept walking and looking back until she was out of sight, and then he watched as Hogwarts became visible.

He saw that there were boats and figured that the students hadn't gotten there yet.

He waited patiently for about an hour before the first person came.

Hagrid walked on the path with the students all behind him and then frowned as he saw another person in front of him.

"Who are ye'?" Hagrid asked with a frown on his face.

"Name's Harry Potter, I'm the last student." Harry said with a smirk on his face.

"You never mentioned that you had a brother!" He heard from in the back.

Everyone turned to the sight and saw Daniel looking sheepish and Ron looking slightly shocked and mad, and a bit of embarrased thrown in there.

"Yes, I did, you just kept on talking over me." Daniel said as he rubbed his forehead with his hand.

Now, Ron looked really embarrased.

In an attempt to get the class of first years back under control, Hagrid pointed out the boats and explained their purpose (look in the book for the full lecture, also, I will only include the important sortings later this chapter).

The people sat in the boats and Harry ended up in his own boat by himself.

A girl named Lisa Turpin came in the boat looking excited.

"So," She started off casually, "What was the boy who lived like? How is it being in his shadow? Did he get special training, I bet he did!"

Harry twitched and ignored all of her questions. He hoped that the rest of the groupd wasn't like that.

Sadly, this was a false hope and the whole school felt that he was under his brother's shadow and jealous when he didn't answer...

"Potter, Daniel," Was called out by the hat and the crowd broke into excited whispering.

Harry just sat back and watched, already knowing where his brother would go.

"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat called out loudly.

It was obvious that there was no debate there.

"Potter, Harry," Was the next name called.

The crowd broke out in confused murmurrings that were along the lines of 'I didn't know that there was another brother.'

Harry ignored it all and put the hat on his head.

"Very interesting mind that you have here, young Potter. I can see traits from all of the houses, so, I don't normally ask this, but where would you like to go?" The hat thought to him.

"I want to go to where I will be the best." Harry thought boldly.

He wasn't that ambitious, but he did want to be the best that he could be.

"Very well the, it better be..." The hat started in the mind.

What is it going to be? Where is he going to go? Will I stick to the same house that Harry went in Harry Potter and the Boy Who Lived or will I change things up. Find out next chapter!
