Thank you all for reviewing. It will be longer between updates, because my schoolwork is piling up. sigh

Voldy's Pink Teddy: Glad you like it.

PRP: No brothers and sisters, but he does have a cousin, and no, it is not Dudley.

GinnyLover14: That is exactly right. I know Harry isn't a teen, but teenager is easier to say than prepubescent. haha No siblings, sorry. Well, he might know of the Malfoys, but his family wouldn't hang around them. As for the Weasley's, maybe I'll add that. I think Godric's hollow is more of a retirment village for wizards, so there weren't any kids around there Harry's age. I do have some ideas for long-range friendships for him.

Time Jumper: Glad to hear. I will try to update as fast as possible.

(Quick A/N) There is a pairing in here that some of you may not like. I didn't think of it until the end of Chapter 2.

Disclaimer: The idea, characters, places, spells, and all things related to Harry Potter, are property of Ms. J. K. Rowling and Warner brothers. Anything not featured in the books is of my design. This story will have spoilers from the sixth & seventh & pretty much all of the books. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE HARRY POTTER BOOK SERIES, YOU PROBABLY SHOULD NOT READ THIS STORY, but you can if you want to. This story is based on the premise that Voldemort "dies" right out of Hogwarts.

Book 1: The Sorcerer's Stone rewritten or Harry Potter and the Mirror of Erised, Chapter 3: Ollivander's

Right at the end of the street sat Ollivander's. It looked old and shabby, and a single wand lay on a cushion in a window. James was sitting in front of the shop. He stood as they approached and together they entered the shop.

Inside the shop, dust filled the air, and it felt almost like Harry was inside a church. He was practically trembling with anticipation. He gazed at the thousands of wand boxes that lined the shelves, and wondered which one would be his.

"Good afternoon," said a soft voice from the shadows. All three of them jumped slightly.

An old man stood before them, his wide pale eyes fixed on Harry. He walked forward, and his eyes turned to rest on Lily.

"Ahh, Lily. It seems only yesterday you were in here, getting your wand. Ten and a quarter inches, willow, very good for charms." Lily nodded, holding up her wand. Ollivander then turned to James.

"And here's James. You favored a slightly longer wand. Eleven inches, mahogany, excellent for Transfiguration."

At last he turned to Harry. "And this must be Harry. He has your eyes Lily, but he has James's chin." His eyes flicked to Harry's bangs, "And your hair." James and Lily laughed lightly, and then Ollivander clapped his hands and pulled an tape measure out of thin air. "Now then, Harry, which arm is your wand arm?" Harry held out his right arm, and Ollivander began to measure him. Shoulder to finger, head to toe, around the waist, armpit to belly button, and between his ears. Harry watched as Ollivander let go of the tape measure, which started to measure the distance between Harry's chin and his left knee, and began to pull down boxes.

"You know, naturally, Harry, that every wand has a different core."

"Phoenix tail feather, unicorn hair, and dragon heartstring" Harry recited.

"Very good. That's enough." The tape measure crumpled to the floor. "All right now. Try this wand. Yew and unicorn hair. Eight and one-half inches. Give it a wave."

Harry tried it but Ollivander quickly snatched it back. "Maple and dragon heartstring. Nine and three-quarter inches." Harry tried that one too, but it was quickly taken back. "Oak and dragon heartstring. Eleven inches. A bit stiff. Try it." That one, too, was pulled from his hand as soon as it touched his fingers.

Ollivander pulled another wand out. "Hmmm…unusual combination…holly and phoenix feather, eleven inches, quite supple. Yes, let's try it." Harry took the wand and almost gasped as warmth spread through his fingers. He waved the wand and red sparks flew from the end of his wand. Both James and Lily clapped, and Mr. Ollivander said, "Well, an unusual combination, but…the wand chooses the wizard."

Harry and his parents left the shop and headed back towards the Leaky Cauldron.

"…mean c'mon, Lily. It's been so long since we last visited. With his mum, dad, and brother dead, he is all alone with that little toe rag, Kreacher."

"No, James. I am perfectly all right with visiting, and perhaps we can go there for Christmas, but at the start of the school year, I am sure that Sirius would not be able to resist 'handing on' some of your old Dungbombs or 'trick sticks'. And didn't I tell you not to call…" Both of his parents were arguing, but Harry was too excited to notice. He had just spotted a familiar black traveling cloak, and ran forward to embrace his "Uncle" Sirius. Lily and James saw him run off, and then caught sight of Sirius standing in front of a small wizarding equipment shop.

"I just need an Ever-Whirling Gear," Sirius was saying, when he looked around at Harry shouting his name. At the sight of Harry, his face broke into a grin, and he scooped him up into the air. James and Lily ran up, slightly out of breath.

"Sirius," James clapped his old school friend on the shoulder. "What are you doing here?"

Sirius sighed, "My motorbike is cutting out on me, and it isn't as fast as it used to be. I am trying," At this he shot a dark look at the wizard behind the stall counter, "to get a replacement for my Ever-Whirling Gear. I am pretty sure that my old one is sticking. So," he said, turning to Harry and Lily, "you've just got Harry's school things." He leaned in close to Harry. "You get your wand yet?" Harry nodded. Sirius grinned then in a low whisper said, "Good. Now listen, there is a very simple spell I know of for if any one is giving you trouble. It is…" But, at that point, Lily cut him off.

"Now, Sirius, don't go getting him started with your mischief-making. There will be enough time for that when we come to your house for Christmas." She said that with a pointed look at James.

Sirius raised his arms in mock defense. "I am just saying, Vesti Atolla is a useful spell if you're in a tight corner. Just flick your wand like this," He pointed his forefinger towards the ground, then flicked it towards the sky, "and whoever is bugging you will…"

Lily stomped her foot, and Sirius fell silent. "That is it Sirius, I don't need you teaching my son to be a prankster at Hogwarts."

Sirius looked at James imploringly. He raised his hands, in a gesture that clearly said, 'You're on your own, mate.' However, before Lily could chew out Sirius anymore, there came a cry off delight from behind Lily. She slowly turned and saw her sister, Petunia, hurrying across the street towards them. Lily rushed forward and embraced her sister.

Lily pulled Petunia to arm's length. "You look wonderful." Petunia's hair hung down to her shoulders and her skin was bronzed. She could have passed for a fashion model. From the shop behind Petunia came a tall man with slicked-back black hair and a short girl with similar hair. They walked up beside Petunia, stopping when they saw who was there. The man inclined his head towards the two Murauders. "James, Sirius." He said, in a tone that indicated that he would love nothing more than to turn and walk back into the store behind him.

The two of them inclined there head. "Severus," they said in the same tone.

Harry stepped forward to greet his cousin. "Hi, Lilia."

She gave a sort-of half smile, echoed with a, "Hello, Harry," and then they fell into silence.

Harry's relationship with his mother's sister and her family had always been strained, due mainly to the fact that James and Severus detested each other. Harry and Lilia got on fairly well, except she couldn't understand his preoccupation with Quidditch, and he could understand her fascination with creepie-crawlies. She loved all sorts of bugs, rats, bats, and toads. If crawled, slithered, or gave off slime, she was fascinated.

After a few moments with Lily and Petunia gushing on to each other, James, Sirius, and Harry headed off towards the Leaky Cauldron, while Severus and Lilia walked down towards Ollivander's. Lilia hadn't gotten her wand yet.

The three of them waited at a table, where Sirius taught Harry two more "good-to-know" spells, Levicorpus and Tenaxa. He said that Levicorpus was a bit hard to master, but that Tenaxa, the Temporary Sticking Spell, was useful due to the fact that it wore off in about half-an-hour, unlike the Permanent Sticking Charm. Harry wanted to try it, but knew that he would have to wait until he was at Hogwarts. Lily came up, and after looking at their faces suspiciously for a moment, said, "Well, we had best get back home and pack Harry's trunk." James nodded, and with a final farewell to Sirius, they vanished through the floo.

------------------------

Heh, please don't be angry, I thought that it was an interesting pairing, and this way Harry has a relative his age. I briefly considered having his cousin be Dudley (imagine Dudley meeting Malfoy) but I decided this was better.
