"WAKE UP AND GET STARTED ON BREAKFAST YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SCUM!" Was heard from outside Harry's bedroom door. If you could even call it that, it was more like the size of a pantry in a kitchen. In the left corner there was a tiny baby's mattress that only had a thin blanket that looked like it had seen better days. In the right corner there was a box that had a pair of socks, a single undergarment, and a thin hoodie. The rest of Harry's clothes was what he had on, as his so called parents said he doesn't deserve any more than that. Harry quickly sat up and rushed out the door, only to be grabbed by his hair and thrown on the ground by his father, as his mother, Lily just laughed at him. "WHY ISN'T BREAKFAST DONE FREAK?" Raged James, his father.

"Sorry sir, won't happen again sir!" Harry said to James.

James threw him into the kitchen after yelling to get it done quickly or there will be consequences. Harry couldn't care less about the consequences. He already had bruises everywhere. Whats the difference in adding a few more? But he decided against making them even more mad and quickly cooked some eggs, bacon, and toast. He of course wasn't aloud to have any.

Harry went to get the mail and saw two letters from Hogwarts, one for Adrian and one for him. He slipped Adrian's under his bedroom door and went to his room to read his. After reading his letter he went out to the living room where his parents and brother just wanted out the door excitedly, talking about how Adrian was going to have so much fun in Hogwarts.

Harry longed for his parents to take him to diagon alley and enthused about hogwarts with him, but as he thought about it, he decided that he doesn't deserve it anyway. He saw a note on the counter and read it.

You got your letter huh, well don't think that, you are any less of a freak, they probably only accepted you because they pitted you anyway. Your probably a squib who barely has any power! Your not getting any money from me or your mother so your not going to be able to get your school books!! And don't even think about stealing your brother's books either freak!

As Harry read the letter his face fell. Before suddenly turning it into rage. They are my parents for goodness sake if they didn't want m3 why didn't they get rid of me! Its not like anyone cares for me anyway! Harry thought before storming to his room to collect his stack of coins that he had been saving from when Adrian drops them in the hall.

Not that his parents would notice, but he has read every book in the library and has became good at wand less magic, parselmagic, (he is a parseltounge), and apparition. Not only that but he has a very good memory and can remember that day when he was an infant. When he was younger he would try to tell them what really happened that night, but they would just beat him and tell him to stop lying.

Harry did not have much but he apparated to Diagon Alley any way. He went to the robe shop first and asked how much the robes were. The worker told Harry that new robes were 15 galleons and old robes were 10 galleons. Harry only had ten galleons. "Umm, I'll just get them another time." Harry told the worker with clear disappointment in his voice.

Another voice spoke from behind him, "Nonsense, if your going to Hogwarts you must have your robes." Harry whipped his head around to see a tall man with long white hair and what looked to be his son with white hair as well.

Lucious Pov

After I told the young boy that he must have robes if he is going to Hogwarts his face flushed red in embarrassment. They boy was so scrawny he looked no older than seven, but he must be older than that if he is about to attend Hogwarts. They boy started to clearly lie about just getting them tomorrow with his parents. He clearly hesitated before saying the word parents, making me think about how his home life may be. Before I could get a word out my son Draco started talking to Harry.

"Im Draco Malfoy. You really are a terrible liar. What is your name anyway?" He asked the boy. The boy looked over at my son for a moment before suddenly flushing a even deeper red if that was even possible. Huh, seems like somebody has a crush! I am so telling Nacrissa so we can make them fall in love!!!!! Ok mind slow down! They are eleven for goodness sakes! What brought me out of my thoughts was the boy telling us his name barely above a whisper. "Potter? I didn't know the Potters had another son." I told Harry. He just shrugged and looked away. After Draco started talked to Harry with him just nodding along I went up to the worker that was working tonight and asked for the smallest size Hogwarts robe they got since they don't carry under a 10 12 which seems like it would still be too big for Harry. After the worker got me the robes and I paid for them I walked over to Harry.

"Now I know you said you don't need it but an extra set won't hurt would it?" I asked him.

HARRY POV

I didn't know what to say, Lucious was being so kind, I don't have much experience with kind people so I just went with the safe option of thanking him. I tried to pay him with the money I had but Lucious just refused my money and told me it was a gift. Draco looked at me with his memerizing silver eyes and I thought I felt a flutter.

"Just accept it Harry, we are very stubborn people." Draco told me with a rather serious look. My cheeks started growing red again and I looked down to try to hide it. I swear I seen Lucious smirk at that!

"Fine." I drawed out. Before thanking them once again and telling them I needed to go.

TIME SKIP TO ENTERING HOGWARTS

I had managed to buy the books I needed but they were very old and torn up. But unfortunately I did not have the money to by any of the other things I needed. I just hoped there would be extras at Hogwarts.

Some lady named Minerva McGonagall told us to walk into the great hall where a hat burst into songs about the four houses. The sorting began and some Granger girl, and a Weasley was sorted into Gryfinder. Soon my eyes as well as everyone else's landed on Adrian as McGonagall called his name. The instant the hat touched his head it yelled Gryfinder.

Draco was sorted into Slytherin, before McGonagall called my name with a look of confusion. Whispers started breaking out about a second Potter. Adrian has a twin? Where has he been? Why don't we know of him? Was heard around the room. As I walked to the stool in my battered clothing everyone became even more confused. Why doesn't he have the same nice clothes as his brother? Some people whispered.

When the hat touched my head, I could feel him looking into my mind, prodding around. He started talking in my head, My, my, you have all the houses trained in you! The humbleness of a hufflepuff, the strength of a Gryfinder, the intelligence of a ravenclaw, and the cunningness of a Slytherin. As well as a thirst to prove your self.... mmm I know what to do with you!  "SLYTHERIN" the hat shouted while whispers broke out once again, a Potter in Slytherin, who would have thought!

Every since that day the Slytherin's against Harry's knowledge took a silent oath to try their best to protect Harry. While Draco, Harry, and a girl named Haisley soon became best friends. And Severus Snape became kind of like a father figure for Harry. All the while Harry tried to hide his ever growing feelings for Draco, the abuse he suffers at home, and the constant bullying from the Gryfinders.
