8. Alex

It was a day like everyone else at the Potter household. Harry was taking a bath and Ginny was feeding James.

James was now a month old. He had grown a lot in that month, in Harry's opinion. He eat every three hours and he needed his nuppy change five to six times everyday... and during the night. A little terror indeed.

They were waking one at the time to do all those things however. During the day Ginny will be the one to nurse him. She was always in the house as she was in her maternity leave. He would come to relieve he at 5.30. Then Ginny will go to sleep and Harry was in charge to do all those things James needed.

Why people marry and have children, again? Harry wonder at times. But even he couldn't take his eyes from his son. His perfect son.

He would do anything for his son, he concluded.

He started thinking one day if that was how his parents was feeling. And as soon as if came to that concluttion he cleared his thoughts.

His parents had eyes only for Alex because he was the Boy-Who-Lived. Alex was special but he wasn't.

That wasn't the case with James. He was special but special because he was his son and not for doing some heroic thing.

James will be loved but not spoiled like Alex. Alex wanted all the attention for himself. Their parents' love, Dumbledore and the professors' approval and the respect of the Wizarding World. He couldn't understand that except for their parents' love he couldn't have the others if he didn't earned them.

But that's how Alex always was.

Flashbacks:

4 years old

Harry was sitting in his desk with a book in front of him. Today was his birthday but no one had said 'Harry Birthday' to him. Only to Alex. Even his parents had forgotten him.

Mummy and Daddy were busy making the preparations for the party. Mummy wanted everything to be perfect. From the icing of the cake to the decorations with the different flowers around the house.

Just then the door of his room opened and Alex came in. He was wearing his good robes at a livid red color. And his hair was brushed.

"What are you doing here?" Harry asked politely.

"I came to tell you that I don't want you in MY party" emphasise Alex.

"Why?" Harry asked as sadness over took him but didn't show it.

"Because today is my birthday and I want all the attention for myself. Besides no one knows you exist anyway. Have a nice evening" he said meanly and close the door as he left the room and turn the key in the keyhol locking it.

Harry that night stay in his room as everyone was singing 'Happy Birthday' to Alex.

Harry on the other hand read peacefully the book The Art of Oclummency and Legilimency.

7 years old

Mummy, Daddy, Alex and Harry were in the park. Harry was it the sand pit playing alone and James, Lily and Alex were in the grass playing.

Harry heard Alex start whining "Mum I'm hungry!"

"Ok, Alex. Let's go home to make you something to eat" answered Lily and stand up as did James. They took Alex's hands, one each and left the park. But not before he smirked at Harry's direction!

The same morning Alex had come to his room and said that he didn't want him to come to the park with them. And advise him to do not come as no one will acknowledge him. Harry, though, didn't heard him and went to the park. Harry understand that day Alex was right! No one cared for him.

11 years old

Harry and Alex were sitting in a compartment on the Hogwarts Express. Harry was gazing out of the window when their door sliced open. A red headed boy came inside and asked "Can I sit here? Everywhere else is full."

"Sure." answered Alex smiling.

The boy sit and said "Thanks. I'm Ron Weasley by the way." he introduced himself.

"Alex Potter" said Alex.

"Wow. Are you really? Oh, and you really have the scar!" said eyeing Alex's scar. Alex's smile became bigger. Harry rolled his eyes. Ron looked at him. "Who are you?"

"No one!" scold Alex. "Go away!" he order him.

Harry normally wouldn't do what his idiot of a brother wanted but think twice about. He stand up and left the compartment. He will sit somewhere else without his idiotic brother and his fun club!
