A.N: Hi guys, this is just a thing I decided to randomly do. It's basically an alternate version of I'm not a hero. Except this time there are three key differences:
1) Red doesn't go crazy from the horcrux and doesn't end up killing violet.
2) Harry doesn't go to Hogwarts when he was eleven because he was perfectly fine staying with Red, Violet, Rose and Ryan.
3) Snape bashing in this one, sorry but I'm just in the mood for it.
There might be some other differences but those three were the main ones. If you haven't read my 'I'm not a hero' story then you might not get everything, so I would advise reading that first.
As for this story I'm going to write ten chapter or so and if the responses to it are good and I like it then I will continue to do so. It also starts from fourth year, have fun.
Chapter 1 -
Fourteen year old Daphne Greengrass let out a tired sigh as she at with her best friend Tracy Davis, Tracy was a fun loving blond with curly hair and blue eyes, a very pretty girl too but even Tracy would admit that she wasn't as pretty as Daphne Greengrass. Daphne Greengrass was also a girl with blond hair and blue eyes though her eyes were brighter and she preferred to keep her hair straight. It was with an unspoken agreement that Daphne Greengrass was the best looking girl of her year.
She and Tracy were Slytherin's so that cut them off from most of the school, but that didn't mean that everything was great in Slytherin. Daphne, as a beautiful girl and heiress to the Greengrass family, had to constantly deal with boys from various years trying to get her attention. The worse was without a doubt Draco Malfoy, Malfoy was an arrogant and spoilt brat, at least on her opinion. Funnily enough a lot of people shared that opinion.
Malfoy had become convinced that he would eventually marry Daphne and it took some hexing in order to keep him away, but it wouldn't keep him deterred for too long. Malfoy was convinced that no matter what he did his father would be able to deal with it for him, that's why he was always strutting around like he owned the castle and was always openly insulting whoever he wanted. Between the head of house, who was his godfather, and his rich dad, Malfoy didn't worry about anything.
Malfoy in her opinion was the worst boy in her year, even worse than Adrian Potter. She glanced towards the Gryffindor table and saw Adrian Potter, the boy-who-lived and Malfoy's rival for mot arrogant toe rag in school. He had messy bright red hair and brown eyes and a V shaped scar on his forehead. His story was pretty well known, one day the mot feared dark lord in history attacked the Potter family. The parents ended up in comas and then the dark lord Voldemort (called you-know-who by everyone apart from a select few brave enough to say his name) fired a killing curse at Adrian, Adrian had survived and Voldemort was defeated by Daphne didn't believe that Adrian had done anything, he was average in his studies at best and below average on a normal day. His friends weren't that impressive either, his friends were Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.
Ron Weasley, a lanky and redheaded boy, was part of a large but poor family with a lot of brothers, she didn't know how many but he knew he had two older brothers still in school and a sister that was a year younger than him. As far he was concerned he was loud, rude, had no manners and was far from a model student. Sometimes she would feel personally offended just seeing the way he would eat his food.
Then there was Hermione Granger, a girl with brown bushy hair, she in Daphne's opinion was a bossy know it all. Granger regularly competed with her for the position of best in class, it wasn't something Daphne was really interested in. After all she studied for the future, to make the best of her limited time in Hogwarts, she didn't have time to waste in a silly competition, such a shame that Granger couldn't take the hint and proceeded to always try and one up her. Daphne made it a point to do better than Granger just so she didn't have to keep seeing the smug face she always had on the few occasions Granger did do better than her.
In short the boy-who-lived' friends were an orange baboon with a temper and a bossy know it all. Many people were disappointed by the boy-who-lived, before coming to Hogwarts everyone had suspected him to be a magical progidy. He wasn't, he was not only arrogant but he much like Malfoy believed that he could get away with anything. Malfoy becaue of his godfather/head of house plus his father while Adrian relied on his status as the boy-who-lived and the headmaster who always favoured him.
"It's starting!" Tracy said in an excited voice.
The two were currently sat in the great hall along with all the other Hogwarts students plus the visiting schools Drumstrang from Bulgaria and Beuaxbaton from France. The reason the schools were visiting was because Hogwarts had decided to host the tri-wizard tournament, a tournament that was famous for death rates but also gave the winner 'eternal glory' and a huge cash prise. It was banned a long, long time ago because of too many people dying. Hogwarts was currently holding what was supposed to be a safer version of the tournament, though Daphne wasn't sure what the need for it was.
As of the moment the goblet of fire, an ancient and magical artifact, was in the centre of the hall and was getting ready to select the champions. Essentially whoever's name would come out of the goblet would be the champion and competitor for their school, each school got one champion each. Three schools equals three champions which equals tri-wizard tournament. Simple enough.
"May I please have your attention, ladies and gentlemen?" Dumbledore, the Hogwarts headmaster said as he stood next to the goblet of fire. If his blue starry robes and long white beard didn't attract your attention then his loud voice would. "In a moment the goblet of fire will select the champions, once that is done I will hand each champion their piece of parchment and then they will please make their way to the side chamber through the great hall for their briefing. I wish you all the best of luck."
Soon the flames of the goblet of fire transformed from a blue to a bright red as a piece of parchment shot out from it, once the parchment had shot out the flames had reverted back to blue. The parchment floated in the air briefly before it glided down into the open palm of the headmaster, who took it and read it.
"The Drumstrang champion is…Victor Krum!" The all cheered as Krum made his way out of the chamber when another paper flew into Dumbledore's hand "The Beauxbatons champion is….Fleur Delacour!" Fleur stood up to cheering as well, and made her way out of the hall. Then a third name flew out of the goblet and landed in Dumbledore's hand. "The Hogwarts champion is…Cedric Diggory!"
The entire hall cheered as Cedric Diggory, a rather popular Hufflepuff, made his way forwards, he took his parchment from Dumbledore and made his way to the other champions.
"Excellent!" Dumbledore said "Now that our three champions have been selected, I hope that we can all give them our..." Dumbledore was cut off when the Goblet of fire flared a fourth time, and a fourth piece of parchment flew into Dumbledore's hand.
Dumbledore took the piece of parchment, hiding his emotions expertly behind a confused mask. He knew that this would be the piece of parchment with Adrian Potter's name, Dumbledore wanted the boy to be in the tournament. Adrian Potter was not doing as well as he would have liked, this tournament was an opportunity to get Adrian to improve and hopefully become the saviour that the wizarding world needed. Besides, if the boy ended up being hated by his fellow students then that would be another good challenge for him. He could learn to rise above their hate like a true hero.
"A...Adrian Potter." Dumbledore whispered before looking up and shouting. "Adrian Potter!"
"But I didn't do anything!" Adrian shouted, he looked around but saw that most didn't believe him. After hearing him strut around the castle for the last four years, nobody apart from Ron and Hermione really wished to interact with him or liked him.
"Please make your way to the chamber." Dumbledore said, gesturing to the chamber. Adrian seemed rooted to his seat but eventually moved when Hermione hissed at him and pushed him. He got to his feet and slowly walked to the headmaster, his hand shakily took the piece of parchment with his name. He walked towards the chamber, trying and failing to ignore the whispers of the other students. "My apologies everyone," Dumbledore said once Adrian had entered the chamber. "myself and the other teachers will go and deal with this."
Dumbledore turned to leave when he heard something behind him, he turned back to see the flames of the goblet of fire turn red once more, and this time he was genuinely surprised. He didn't expect another parchment after Adrian's, whose name was it this time? A parchment shot out of the flames and flew into Dumbledore's hand. Dumbledore read the name and froze, 'no' he thought 'this can't be!'. Dumbledore read the name multiple times, as if it was possible for it to change by pure will.
"Dumbledore?" Ludo Bagman, one of the tournament judges spoke, seeing no reaction he decided to summon the parchment and see what had caused the reaction. "Let's see what we have here," He said as he read the name from the parchment "Harry P...Potter? H...Harry Potter. Harry Potter!" He said out loud.
The hall instantly burst into various groups of conversation, many were confused, not knowing who Harry Potter was. Was he the uncle of the boy-who-lived? His brother? Who was Harry Potter
Daphne Greengrass, meanwhile had stiffened at the name, she had heard that name before. In her first year she had discovered a magical marriage contract to the Potter family, at first she was horrified at the idea of marrying Adrian Potter but after closely looking at it she noticed the name on the contract was 'Harry James Potter'. She had never met him at school, at first she thought it was because he was of a different age but she quickly realised that that was not true.
He couldn't be too young as the Potter parents were in comas which, as far as she was aware, made it impossible to have sex and therefore get pregnant. He couldn't be too old to be at Hogwarts because then he would have been more well known. She had no idea how to react to being betrothed to an unknown boy, a relative to the boy-who-lived as well. She had spent a lot of time wondering what Harry Potter was like, was he good looking? Was he arrogant like the boy-who-lived? Was he powerful? Smart? Kind? Was he the sort of person she would be happy with?
"Dumbledore," Barty Crouch the ministry representative and another judge, spoke. "where is the Potter boy?"
"I beg your pardon?" Dumbledore said as he shook himself out of the shock.
"Never mind, I'll deal with this." Barty said as he walked towards the goblet.
"And how do you plan to do that?" Dumbledore asked.
"The goblet will show us the boy." Barty said as he tapped the goblet with his wand. "Who is Harry Potter?" He said, he had spent a long time learning everything necessary to know about the tournament including how the goblet worked.
The flames of the goblet turned a bright red, suddenly they flew up into the air and formed a circle that was big enough for everyone to see. Inside the circle an image appeared of a boy, one that everyone correctly guessed to be Harry Potter.
Daphne took a special interest in the image, she looked closely at the boy that could end up being her husband. He had the messy and wild hair that Adrian Potter had but his hair was a dark raven black, his face was thinner and his eyes were a bright emerald green. He was, undoubtedly, handsome. Much more than Adrian, he gave off a roguish vibe as well, as she looked around she could tell that a few of the other girls thought he was good looking as well.
"Hmm," Barty frowned. "show Harry Potter." He ordered as he tapped the goblet again.
The image of Harry Potter changed and soon a different image formed, everyone watched as the goblet of fire showed the inside of an abandoned warehouse, in the centre was a small wooden table with an open box of pizza on it and five fizzy drink cans. There were five people sitting around the table and eating the pizza, not adults, but not children. They were around the age of the fourth years and were wearing muggle clothes. The group was made up of two girls and three boys.
Both girls were skinny but not skinny to the point where they could be considered sticks or sickly. Their skin indicated that the two spent some time in the sun but not enough to be completely tanned. One of the girls had black shoulder length hair and blue eyes, she wore muggle trainers and jeans plus a blue shirt and thin white jacket. The other girl was a pretty girl with shoulder length black hair and violet eyes. She wore the same clothes as the other girl except she had a dark blue jacket over a red shirt.
One of the boys was a black haired boy with blue eyes, he wore muggle trainers and jeans and a black shirt under a dark green hooded jacket, plus a silver ring he had on his left middle finger. The other boy made Dumbledore's heart momentarily stop as he looked just like a young Tom Riddle, Tom Riddle being the boy who would eventually grow up to become Voldemort, the most feared dark lord of all time. The boy looked exactly like Tom Riddle except for his red eyes, Tom didn't have red eyes when he was that young. The boy wore the same as the previous boy except his jacket was red and he didn't have a ring.
The last boy who was currently drinking from his fizzy drink can wore the same as the previous boy but had a grey jacket instead. The boy's messy hair, handsome face and green eyes told everyone that this was Harry Potter. Everyone watched as Harry put his drink down on the table before he frowned as his eyes narrowed.
"Guys, stop eating." Harry said.
"What? Why?" The black eyed girl asked as they all stopped and looked at him.
"Because it's rude to eat when we haven't said hello to our guests."
"Guests?" The boy with the green jacket asked.
"Yes, we're being watched." Harry said as he turned and everyone in the hall felt surprised when they saw him look directly at them. "Hi," Harry said, looking directly at them, creeping them out. "I don't know who you are but I do know that you're watching us."
"But that's impossible!" Barty crouch exclaimed. "The boy shouldn't be able to see us!"
"You know what, we'll come to you." Harry said as he pointed to them. "Give me ten minutes and I'll be there." Barty Crouch had had enough and tapped his wand on the goblet, the fire vanished along with the image. The whole hall was left in silence, most too shocked to say anything and those who weren't did not know what to say.
"W...well, I guess we have to wait ten minutes then." Ludo Bagman eventually said.
After ten minutes of constant talking and gossiping between the whole hall, Harry Potter had still not shown up. Barty had once again tapped the goblet and had it reveal Harry Potter. Once again it shot a burst of flames into the air and formed a circle, an image appeared and many recognised it as the gates of Hogwarts. Harry Potter and the other kids were standing there, much to their surprise, and looking at the castle.
"What is this place?" The girl with the violet eyes asked.
"Hogwarts." Harry answered as he looked around the castle.
"Wait, this is it?" The red eyed boy asked as he gestured to it. "Your parents went here?"
"Yours too." Harry replied. "Come on, let's go in."
"Are you sure we're allowed?" The blue eyed girl asked.
"Since when have rules stopped us before?" The boy with the green jacket said as the began walking.
"Ah, they're watching us again." Harry said with an amused smile, the great hall fell into an uncomfortable silence as they felt and saw Harry Potter's eyes stare at them.
"What do you think these guys want?" The violet eyed girl frowned.
"No idea," Harry shrugged "but we're about to find out soon."
The group continued walking, the occupants of the hall watching a they did so. Eventually the group had reached the outside of the great hall, causing many to look towards the doors. A few seconds later the door opened and the group entered just as Barty Crouch got rid of the image from the goblet. Everyone in the hall stared at the group with disbelief, some because of the muggle clothe they were wearing and some because they didn't know he existed until now and definitely didn't expect him to suddenly pop up in Hogwarts.
"So, how are we?" Harry asked as he looked around the hall.
A.N: So what do you guys think? I don't know how good this is, but if people like it then I might try to keep going. I hope you like it, feel free to leave a review.
