Chapter 5
The following takes place on August 1, 2001
"Alright Daxter, I want some answers, NOW!" said Harry, who wanted to know who his family was, he had found a rather interesting article in the newspaper
"Answers about what Harry?" said Daxter nervously, Harry was VERY scary when he was angry.
"My family, I read an interesting article in the newspaper yesterday." said Harry
"Oh really, what was it about?" Asked Daxter, who had a feeling he wasn't going to like this.
"Harrison Potter's Eleventh Birthday Bash, tell me who is Harrison Potter and why do I get the feeling we same more then the same last name?" asked Harry
Daxter had not been looking forward to this conversation and had worked very hard to avoid it, but he knew someone was going to have to explain this to Harry "Well Harry.... I think Merlin can explain this better then me." said Daxter
"We haven't seen..." suddenly a familiar ball of light appeared and they vanished.
Merlin's Tower, Between time and space
Harry and Daxter appeared in a flash of light in Merlin's Office, "Hello Harry" said Merlin, who looked exactly the same as he did five years ago.
"Hello Merlin, Explain." said Harry
"Explain what?" asked Merlin
"Are Lily and James Potter my parents, Yes or No" said Harry
"Yes" said Merlin calmly, who had been waiting for Harry to figure it out
Harry sighed "Is Dumbledore the one who got me sent away?" asked Harry, remembering the yelling he heard weeks earlier at Hogwarts
"Yes, Albus Dumbledore was the one who is responsible for your abandonment." said Merlin
"Ok now I want a straight answer, no 'I need to find it out for myself', why did Dumbledore want me abandoned?" asked Harry
Merlin sighed "Dumbledore left you at your aunt and uncle's, who were the ones who really left you in the orphanage, for one simple reason: to be mistreated." said Merlin
"So I wasn't really abandoned by my parents, well completely anyway." said Harry, for some reason that made him feel a little better "why did Dumbledore want me mistreated?"
"Harry, what do you know about Lord Voldemort?" asked Merlin
"He was a evil Dark lord, possibly the most feared ever, he fell over 10 years ago." said Harry, who knew only a little about that specific subject.
"Correct, 10 years ago he was defeated, most people believe it was your brother, Harrison Potter, who defeated him." explained Merlin
Harry figured out where he was going "But it was really me, wasn't it?"
"Correct." said Merlin
"Dumbledore knew?" asked Harry, he already hated Dumbledore
Merlin chuckled bitterly "oh, he knew, you had been knocked out due to magical exhaustion, so he purposely proclaimed your brother the boy-who-lived, knowing you were the real one." said Merlin
"Why?" asked Harry
Merlin stood up and said "In this case I think it is better to show you, rather then tell you" he walked over to his pensive in the corner and Harry followed, Merlin pulled out a bottle containing a memory, "I took this memory from your mother's memories, not very difficult, she was asleep at the time." Merlin opened the bottle and placed the memory in the pensive, "Go ahead Harry" Harry walked to the pensive and entered it.
(AN: I am not going to even bother writing that part, it would take me hours to rewrite it in Harry's POV, just read the first chapter.)
Harry exited the memory, he couldn't believe what he had saw, he turned to Merlin and said "Dumbledore lied to my parents and convinced them to give me up, my father agreed with him, ONLY MY BLOODY MOTHER DEFENDED ME!" yelled Harry, he was pissed off, he was going to make Dumbledore wish he was never BORN and he was going to hex his father straight to China, then he was... he really didn't know what to do with his mom.
"Yes, your mother always did favor you, just like your father favored your brother, your parents trust Dumbledore, so they did what he said, even your mother, who truly never wanted to give you up." Said Merlin
"IM GOING TO MAKE DUMBLEDORE WISH HE WAS NEVER BORN!" Yelled Harry
"Harry, I can understand why you are upset..."
Harry interrupted "DUMBLEDORE RUINED MY LIFE! I LOST MY FAMILY AND LIVED IN A ORPHANAGE FOR FIVE YEARS, FOR WHAT?" yelled Harry
Merlin sighed "Dumbledore wished to control you, so he hoped by leaving you at your relatives house you would be mistreated and neglected, he planned to gain your trust at Hogwarts so you would follow him no matter what." explained Merlin
"I need a shotgun." said Harry, he knew exactly where he was going to aim it.
"I am afraid someone beat you to the punch on that one, Harry, Dumbledore is currently laying in the hospital wing at Hogwarts, I have a feeling he will be there for awhile." said Merlin
"Who did that?" asked Harry, he wanted to send whoever did it some flowers
Merlin laughed "Your mother is quite a force when angry, not even Dumbledore and your father could restrain her." said Merlin
Harry laughed, maybe he could forgive his mother, eventually, "Please tell me she fulfilled her prior promise of castrating him?" asked Harry, remembering her threat from the memory
"Sadly, no, but I have a feeling he will not be making it to the Hogwarts opening feast next month" said Merlin smirking
"I am going to send Dumbledore back there when he gets out." stated Harry
"Harry you cannot go up against Dumbledore, he is powerful, both magically and politically, the only reason your mother was not arrested for attacking him was because Dumbledore refused to press charges. If you tell anyone what I told you, no one will believe you, Dumbledore is the leader of the light." said Merlin
"He's a manipulative and evil bastard who needs to be taught a lesson." said Harry, he knew Merlin was right however, Dumbledore was powerful, he was the leader of the 'light', he had followers and supporters, no one would believe Harry, it was his word against Dumbledore's.
"Manipulative? Yes. Evil? No. Dumbledore is misguided, all he sees now is the greater good, he did what he did to try and protect the wizarding world." said Merlin
"How is me being in his pocket suppose to protect the wizarding world?" asked Harry angrily
"He knew you would become powerful on your own, he needed you completely loyal to him, it was the only he could ensure you would defeat Voldemort, their was a large risk of you becoming independent and he needed your loyalty." said Merlin
"Yeah well, he failed, I now want to KILL him, not join him" said Harry, as he started to pace around the large office.
"That's why I took you from that orphanage, to ensure Dumbledore's plan didn't succeed." stated Merlin
Harry sighed, he defiantly owed Merlin, Harry suddenly realized something "What about my brother?"
"Your brother, well, lets just say your title has gotten to his head a little." said Merlin "Then theirs of course your sister..."
"I have a SISTER?" interrupted Harry
"Yes, Taylor Potter, she is currently nine years old." said Merlin
"Nine? My parents had another kid after they abandoned me?" asked Harry, he may need to reconsider forgiving his mother
"It was not planned, she was conceived a few months after you were abandoned, you don't honestly wish they had..."
"Of course I don't wish they had killed her, she's my sister" interrupted Harry, it wasn't her fault he was abandoned, she hadn't even been conceived yet, Harry sighed "So I am a big brother." he found it hard to believe
"You are the youngest twin, your brother is the oldest." said Merlin
"You said he's arrogant?" asked Harry
"He's not extremely arrogant, but yes, he is arrogant, he is very jealous of you, however." said Merlin
"Why the HELL would he be jealous of me? I lived in a bloody ORPHANAGE." stated Harry
"As I said earlier, your mother favored you, she often compares your brother to you, even though he is oldest and is believed to be the Boy-who-lived she still favors you." explained Merlin
Harry chuckled "My brother is believed to be the defeater of Voldemort and yet my mother still favors me, I can understand why he is jealous, everyone in the world favors him, except his own mother." said Harry, while laughing
"Yes, but we must get back to the primary issue, Dumbledore, I do not want you to seek revenge against him, he ruined your life, you have every right to hate him, but you cannot risk being taken by him, once he finds you, he will do whatever it takes to keep you, I cannot help you if that happens." said Merlin
Harry stood up and said "Fine, I will stay away from Dumbledore, at least until later anyway, when I can really hurt him. Now if you will excuse me, I must go."
"Where may I ask are you going?" asked Merlin
"To go see my family, it said in the newspaper they would be going to Diagon alley today" Harry checked his watch "it's 11 AM, they should be there now." said Harry
"How do you plan to hide your identity?" asked Merlin
"Merlin, it's Diagon alley on school shopping week, I am a eleven year old wizard, I will not stand out." stated Harry
"Your father may recognize you." said Merlin, he knew he could not stop Harry
"Please my father will never recognize me, I doubt he even cares, now my mother would be a different story, but apparently she wasn't at Harrison's birthday party, so I assume she will not be in the alley." said Harry, and with a snap of his fingers he vanished, Merlin didn't need to travel to the future to know Dumbledore's days were numbered.
Diagon alley, England
Harry appeared in a ally next to Flourish and Blotts, the spot he usually used to teleport to Diagon alley, he often came to buy new books and supplies. Although he stopped buying books after awhile, the manor had a huge library filled with books, they had only bought the newer ones so he could learn the basics, the newer books hadn't been in the library.
Harry looked around for a crowd, he assumed that was where his family was. After scanning Diagon Alley he saw a familiar family of three, surrounded by a crowd of people. He saw his father, who looked the same as he did five years ago, with a huge smile on his face, he saw his brother with a similar smile, both enjoying the attention. He looked around for his sister, he saw her sneaking through the crowd, away from their father 'sneaky kid' thought a smirking Harry. He saw her sneak through the crowd and he started casually walking through the alley, following her, he saw her enter Magical Menagerie, he followed her inside.
He entered the magical creature looking for his ebony haired little sister, he saw cages filled with numerous different magical creatures, he finally found her looking at cages with little kittens inside them. Harry decided to approach her the way he would normally approach anyone, "You know you really shouldn't sneak off from your parents, they could get worried." said Harry
Taylor turned around and saw Harry, she stared at him for a minute before shaking her head and saying "My dad won't notice and my brother doesn't care, besides the crowd is here to see my arrogant brother, not me, shouldn't you be trying to catch a look at my brother or are you going to ask me to get you his autograph." she said that clearly annoyed
Harry frowned, obviously most people his age only bothered her when it involved their brother, it was a horrible way to live "No, I think the crowd outside is petting his ego more then enough." replied Harry
Taylor chuckled "You have no idea, he loves attention." said Taylor, who couldn't help but notice his emerald green eyes were the same as her mother's and he looked a lot like her dad, only younger and without glasses.
"I take it from the way you talk about him that you don't like him very much." said Harry
"He's arrogant, annoying, and almost everyone in the wizarding world besides my mom and I bow at his feet, what's not to like?" Said Taylor sarcastically
"So why are you here then, couldn't you have stayed at home?" asked Harry
"Yeah I could have, but I wouldn't be able to get a kitten if I was at home" smirked Taylor, she liked this guy, he was the first person she met outside her family who didn't just talk to her because of who her brother was
"Please don't tell me you plan to buy a kitten and sneak it home, because your parents will make you bring it back." said Harry, who was also smirking a similar smirk
"NO, my mom said I could get a kitten when I was nine and had the money, I just turned nine a week ago and saved some of my allowance, so I am now buying a kitten" said Taylor, as she turned back to look at the kittens
Harry frowned, he noticed the kittens all cost at least ten galleons, not a lot for him or any well off wizard, but it was a lot for a nine year old girl who probably had to be saving her allowance for months in order to pay for it. "Why didn't you get one for your birthday?" asked Harry
"My mom wanted me to prove I was responsible enough to save my money and buy something I really wanted." Said Taylor, not looking away from the cage
"Well have a nice day then, and good luck with your cat." said Harry
Taylor turned to Harry and said "Thanks, have a nice day" she then turned back to the cage
Harry didn't leave the store yet, he walked over to the counter on the other side of the store, told the witch behind it he was paying for Taylor's kitten, gave her the gold for it, and gave her a small note to give to Taylor, Harry did owe her a gift and he had plenty of money. After giving the woman the note he left the shop, passing Taylor on the way out, who was holding a small, orange kitten carefully in her hands.
Taylor walked up to the counter, gently placed the tiny kitten on the counter and was about to pull out her money when the woman behind the counter said "Oh no dear, your brother already paid for the kitten, he said it was a birthday present for you."
"What, my brother?" asked Taylor, that didn't make sense, Harrison never bought her anything, they basically hated each other
"Yes, he left you this note" said the woman and she handed Taylor the note, who quickly grabbed it and opened it:
SURPRISE!
I am your brother, shocking huh, It was nice to meet you, I didn't even know I had a sister until today, it's complicated. I don't know whether you knew I existed before this or not, but either way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, consider this a late birthday present from your brother. I am not going to Hogwarts as you may have heard, I came to the Alley to see you, not shop, GOOD LUCK DEALING WITH HARRISON, I'll see you again real soon.
Your Brother,
Harry James Potter
Taylor's mouth dropped to the floor, she had never been so shocked in her life, that boy who she talked to was her other brother!? She knew she had another one, but she had never met him before, she also knew he was Harrison's twin, she had never really wanted to meet him, she didn't want to deal with another Harrison. She thought because they were twins they would be the same, but she was wrong, Harry looked and acted completely different from Harrison. She quickly grabbed her kitten, stuffed the note into her pocket and ran out the door, she looked for Harry but didn't see him anywhere, 'Where did he go?'
3 minutes earlier...
After giving the woman the note he left the shop, passing Taylor on the way, out who was holding a small, orange kitten carefully in her hands. He checked his watch, he had about 2-3 minutes before Taylor would come out running, looking for him. He hadn't met his brother, but if what Taylor said was true, he really didn't want to, also he couldn't be anywhere near his father without possibly punching him, so he snapped his fingers and vanished from Diagon alley.
