A.N: The next two chapters will follow Harry through a few choice events through his childhood but I must fast foreward just a bit to get to the Hogwarts years :) If you have any suggestions I will be happy to hear them. PS: I'M BACK!
Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter then this fic would be a lot better...trust me.
Seven years later
If there was one thing Harry disagreed about it would be his mother sending him to a muggle school.
"Harry? Do you have the answer?" Asked the teacher. Harry looked up from his book, third grade was probably the most horrible thing he had to endure...
"Seven." He replied going back to his drawing of a snitch on his notebook paper.
You know Harry, you could sound a bit more excited.
Shut-up.
"Hi Harry." Next to him was a girl named Isabelle. Harry didn't understand why a lot of girls had the obsession of saying 'hi'.
"Oh...hi," He smiled lightly, he was in somewhat of a bad mood since he had woken up a bit earlier than he had wanted to.
"Did you see the new girl?" She asked brightly, "She's very strange I think...I saw her in the office today. Terrible hair, so bushy it--"
"Did you notice her name?" Asked Harry his heart jumping thinking only one thing, Hermione!
"No, she's in our class though." Isabelle replied. Harry was about to ask about her teeth but was interrupted.
"Isabelle, please come to the board and solve this please." Said the teacher looking at us as though he knew we were talking.
Ohhhhh, is Harry flirting with Izzy? Came Steven's voice in his head.
No! Harry replied quickly, sometimes having a twin was harder than it looked.
Harry's gotta girlfriend, Harry's gotta girlfriend.
Shut up you little- Harry never thought it was possible to be cut off in your thoughts before but somehow, he managed.
Harry's gonna kiss her, Harry's gonna kiss Izzy!
Harry was two seconds from walking over to Steven and punching him in the arm very hard when a girl walked in the room in front of the principal. She was a little taller than Harry, to his dismay, she had bushy brown hair and chocolate brown eyes.
"Mr. Mathews, this is Hermione Granger...she will be joining your class. However, if you see fit, her parents will advance her." He said turning around giving the classroom a little wave before he left.
"Ah, Hermione. Why not come to the front and tell a bit about yourself." Said Mr. Mathews offering the front of the room. Hermione didn't look much different then she did at Hogwarts during first year...maybe somehow he could streamline that hair.
"I'm Hermione Granger, I like to read really..." She said very quietly as her face turned a bit red. "I was home schooled till now but my mum said I could be in this school for the further part of this year."
"That's very nice Hermione, please take your seat in front of Harry, Harry raise your hand." Mr. Mathews told them. Harry and Steven had a system where every time a new student comes and they sat near them they'd mix the teacher up...see if he knew which one was which. Both Harry and Steven raised their hands.
"Um...sir...which...?" She asked confusedly.
"The one with green eyes." Instantly they closed their eyes. "The one with the scar." They then put their hair over their foreheads.
"That one's Harry." Isabelle said in a snobbish voice.
"Thank you." Hermione said sitting in front of Harry getting out a thick chapter book and setting it inside her desk.
"Now, to continue our arithmetic lesson..." The teacher began again straightening his tie. Harry sighed turning a page in his notebook and began to sketch a picture of his friends...he could hardly remember most of them, but now that he had seen Hermione again he was happy. After starting the drawing a little Harry decided to write her a note, he felt a bit stupid about it but he did it anyway.
Hey, I'm Harry...sorry about the prank with Mathews we were only kidding with him. Harry folded it and passed it to her, he remembered well how much she hated breaking the rules during first year. He also remembered how she hated people who antagonized teachers much.
"Harry, what did I tell you about writing notes during class?"
"It was fun way to pass the time during class sir?" Harry asked looking innocent as possible.
"Please see me after class, both of you." At that the lunch bell rang, Harry didn't know what he meant by 'both of you' but Hermione did. She and him walked up to his desk as several people ran out of the room.
Ha-ha, you got in trouble. Mum will love to hear about this.
Yeah, and I'll tell her about the times last week, remember?
Fine, you win...this time.
"We're home!" Steven and Harry said simultaneously. Their little sister, Jasmine following with a frown on her face. She looked much like lily with red hair but had James's hazel eyes. So far Harry and Lily were the only ones in the house with vibrant green eyes.
"Hey, don't get too comfortable. You're mum's taken advantage of our day off to go see her relatives."
'Relatives? RELATIVES?!' Harry thought 'The only ones alive were the Dursleys!'
"Um...dad, that's not what muggle's are wearing these days." Steven pointed out setting his backpack down by the door next to Harry's. James was wearing a tie-dye T-shirt with bellbottom pants and a costume jewelry necklace.
"Oh?" He asked, "It was the only stuff I could find...The last time I went to a muggle house was back in the seventies."
"I can tell." Steven was on bursting moment looking at his dad. Six year old Jasmine although was practically rolling on the floor.
"James!" Said Lily walking in wearing very modern clothes. "You look...amazing." She said 'amazing' with a bit of a giggle in her voice.
"See? Someone thinks I look good." James smiled messing up the back of his hair which Lily smoothed down.
"This is my sister, she's very particular with messy hair." She eyed the twins.
"I can't help it." Harry shrugged.
"Ditto." Steven replied. Jasmine returned to her normal self.
"I don't have to worry about it mommy." She grinned spinning in a circle showing off her long red locks.
"Show off." Steven stuck his tongue out, Jasmine did the same.
"Hey, hey, let's get going! Today we're taking the car!" James exclaimed getting four groans. "Oh come on! It's not that bad!"
"Tell that to the four policemen, they got very annoyed pulling us over." Lily pointed out.
"They were minor mistakes!" He interjected walking out the front door with them following.
"Yeah, driving on the wrong side of the road is a minor mistake." Steven said bluntly.
"Not using your turn signal is very minor." Harry added.
"Hey, nobody's perfect."
And that's how four people were stuck driving with the worst driver in Europe. However, he had managed to drive all the way into London without any problems. They were so proud...until he nearly ran into a pole.
"Here we are Privet Drive and nobody's hurt!" James grinned pulling up in front of number four.
"Except maybe your pride..." Lily commented under her breath.
"I vote mum drives us home!" Steven exclaimed.
"Me too!" Harry said not wanting to go through that again.
"I do too!" Said Jasmine.
"You always do what we do." Steven said frustrated.
"No I don't!" She exclaimed running to Harry, she liked him better for some reason.
"Hey, leave her alone a bit." Harry whispered to him seriously.
"Whatever." Steven said following their parents up to the house. Harry didn't wish to go anywhere near it so he kind of lagged on behind with Jasmine. "Don't talk much here ok?" He told her.
"Ok Harry!" She grinned showing two teeth missing.
"Harry! Jazzy! Come on!"
"Coming!" Jasmine slipped out of Harry's grip to run up to them. Harry sighed running a hand through his hair, and walked behind everybody as they rang the doorbell. Harry felt terrible nostalgia being near this house.
"Hey Pet, nice to see you!" Lily smiled, Petunia looked exactly like she used to look. Horsy and skinny, nothing had changed if Harry was there or not.
"Oh, it's you." Petunia replied very dry-like. She was not very happy to see five people on her doorstep, she gave James an evil glare many times with his hippie attire. "Well, come in." They all filed into the hallway and followed her through the house. Once again nothing has changed not even the beach ball of a child growing up in the pictures.
" Vernon, they're here." Petunia led them into the sitting room where Beach ball boy had an ugly pastel blue suit and Vernon as well had on a suit.
Wow! They sure dressed themselves up. Thought Steven to Harry sitting beside him on a couch Harry was not allowed to touch besides when dusting it.
Yeah, I know. Harry replied half-heartedly trying hard to block out the memories of this house but not succeeding very well, his leg bobbed up and down.
"Well, this is James...you were at the wedding you remember." Lily still smiled, maybe it was because she knew how much Petunia hated people that smiled too much.
"Yes, I do remember that." Once again, a dry answer. It was probably because Sirius had put a hiccupping potion in their drinks which turned out to be a bit...stronger than he thought. Harry remembered Sirius telling them about it.
"And the twins are Harry and Steven, Steven's got to scar." Lily explained. "And our little girl here is Jasmine."
They all said a half-hearted hello not looking forward to a long afternoon. Harry could only think about how much he wished he was at home...hope nobody noticed he was staring out the window.
"I lost a tooth last week see?" Jasmine smiled very widely trying to brighten up the mood.
"I see." Petunia still was as hard as ever. This shocked Harry because his sister usually knew how to use the cute trick well.
"They grow up so fast." James commented looking at the twins. He had no idea that they weren't paying any attention at all.
Uncle B.B? Steven commented.
Beach ball? That's getting old.
No, big butt. Steven laughed out loud getting several looks, Harry couldn't help but join him. This afternoon was going to be fun.
