Harry Potter: A Different Tale

James watched Harry curiously, wondering how his son would react to being told off. Sirius, from what he knew of Harry, knew that the boy was quite rebellious when he wanted to be and was probably the only person more stubborn than Lily. Adrian also watched, he expected some sort of shouting match or at least a few sarcastic comments.

But what they didn't expect was for Harry to smile, not a fake smile at all. A real smile, he smiled at Lily who also seemed a bit confused by his reaction.

"If that's what you want mum" Harry smiled as he finished eating, he got up and kissed his mother on the side of the head "good night mum, goodnight dad. Goodnight Sirius, Rose, you coming up to sleep?"

"Yes Harry" Rose whispered as she nodded and stood up.

"Goodnight everyone" Harry said once before looking at Adrian "goodnight git" He and Rose didn't wait for a response and made their way out of the kitchen.

"That…was…weird" Sirius said slowly, he suddenly jumped in his seat when the sound of thunder came from outside "oh Merlin, did he hear me?!"

"Don't be ridiculous" James slapped him on the back of the head

"Ow" Sirius complained

"I'm sorry but does anyone else know what the hell is wrong with him?" Adrian pointed in the direction that Harry had left in.

.....

Later that night, Adrian came down to the kitchen for a drink when he found Harry sitting in a chair and drinking some water.

"What are you doing here?" Adrian asked as he made his way to get his own cup of water

"Plotting your murder" Harry answered

"Please, like you could kill me" Adrian said as he poured some water into a glass "the only way I could ever die is naturally"

"That's why I'm struggling, trying to find a way to make it look natural"

"Ha ha" Adrian falsely laughed as he took his glass and sat at the table "you're so funny" He said even though he didn't mean it "Harry Potter, the hilarious snake"

"Jealous brother?" Harry raised an eyebrow

"Of you?" Adrian snorted "Unlikely"

"The muggles would say that about magic, yet it still exists" Harry replied

"I'm not jealous of anyone, I'm the boy-who-lived"

"Maybe you are" Harry responded "maybe you have enough talent to one day surpass Dumbledore. Maybe you could become the greatest wizard this world has ever seen….or….perhaps you aren't."

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Adrian demanded

"What have you done since that night?" Harry asked "Nothing worth mentioning would be my answer, have you trained? Have you studied? You're not even in the top half of the class in any of our classes yet you think you're the next Merlin"

"I stopped Voldemort!"

"Did you? How do you know?" Harry asked calmly "Mum and dad weren't awake at the time, Grandma died that day so she couldn't tell you and everyone else just wasn't there."

"G…grandma died that day?" Adrian asked, clearly not having known that

"You didn't know?" Harry spoke softly "Dorea Potter, dad's mum and our grandma, died that day and you didn't know?"

"I…don't know anything about our grandparents" Adrian admitted

"Mum's parents were both muggles" Harry said "they died shortly before we were born, our grandma was Dorea Potter. She used to be a member of the Black family but married into the Potter family, out of love I might add. Our granddad was Charles Potter. He used to be the best auror alive, criminals would be afraid to walk out of their houses out of fear of him catching them.

He was killed in an attack, about a month or so after we were born. He was getting old and he wasn't as good as he used to be, he was ambushed by a group of death eaters. There were about twenty two of them, he took out twenty one of them when another auror was dying. Probably had a few moments left to live.
