Harry and Stacey Potter

Chapter 4: Not my family

~i solemnly swear that i am up to no good~

Harry sighed. Again. He had woken up and of course remembered his life. The boy got out of bed and got dressed. He had barely finished his breakfast when the doorbell rang.

Petunia went to get it and when she opened the door, she said,

"Hello freak the boy's inside, " and then walked off.

"Boy your parents are here get your stuff and get out of my house, " Vernon said.

Harry nodded and went up. He shrunk his trunk and came down with it in his pocket and Selina under his jacket's sleeve. It was a tight fit but it had to do until he put on his robes.

His mother asked him,

"Harry dear don't you want to take anything?"

And he answered,

"I would die before i took anything from this house and i'm not joking, these people almost killed me several times, " he said coldly then walked out the door.

What he did not see (which was a surprise) was the look his so called parents shared behind his back.

"Harry so we are going to London in an ah- unusual way one could say for you but don't you wor-, " James started but Harry interrupted him.

"If we are going to apparate, let's get on with it. It is not my preferred way of transportation but it works better than the floo, " he said, looking straight ahead.

Missing how James and Lily were staring at him open-mouthed.

James wordlessly extended his arm and Harry took it.

However, he thought his parents seemed different from those he remembered. He passed it off as the fame getting to them.

(A/n: i am not sure what to do here so im gonna put in some lame ass excuse for them abandoning him bc there is gonna be a major plot twist in a few chapters anyway so yeah)

They apparated to the leaky cauldron and entered diagon alley.

"In here, " James gestured to a small, empty shop.

Harry silently entered and they went in too.

"We owe you an explanation. I'm sorry about abandoning you. We're sorry. We just had to raise our little girl and us giving her so much attention and training her to defeat Voldemort, we thought it best for you to grow up where someone would give you attention instead of being ignored, " James said.

"Yes. Leave me with magic-hating muggles. They will definitely adore me and give me attention. They treated me like trash. Almost killed me several times. I had to live in a cupboard under the stairs that was so small they couldn't even fit anything in there, all my life up until yesterday when they gave me a room, " Harry said.

"But sure it was better to grow up there than with my parents, " he scoffed.

James and lily tried reasoning with him a bit more but he never accepted their excuses. Eventually, they gave up.

"Well how do you know about magic?" James asked.

"Eidetic memory, " Harry replied.

James and lily nodded and questioned him about accidental magic and Harry said he didn't have it.

"Wait so are you a-a squib?" James said, disgusted.

(A/n: i know James would never act like that so fr just wait till the plot twist. Possibly in chapter 6-8 one of the three)

"God no, " Harry said. He was Not a squib.

James and Lily nodded and gestured to the door. They waved their wands and were wearing robes.

Harry shot them a look before waving his hand and changing into robes then ignoring their stunned faces. He could feel Selina move around much more comfortably on his arm.

They walked to gringotts where they saw a bunch of redheads.

"Daddyyy!!" Exclaimed one of them and rushed to James. Harry assumed this was his sister, Stacey. Gosh he hated her already. The way she acted in public and the scornful look she sent his way, it was a good indication that she hated him.

Harry looked over her. She looked exactly like Lily except her eyes. She had James's hazel eyes.

Another redhead around 11 years old rolled her eyes and one who looked 10 was just gawking over Stacey.

There were 2 redheaded boys standing to the side, identical to the last freckle who were glaring at Stacey but the rest of their family were looking at her with love and adoration.

"Hey my little Stay, " James said, nuzzling her cheek with his nose. Harry saw the other 11 year old redhead move towards the twins.

"Harry meet your sisters, Stacey, " he gestured towards the girl in his arms, "and, " he looked around for a few seconds until his eyes landed on the girl near the twins who were telling her something animatedly and she was laughing. As she turned towards them, her hair turned Indigo and her eyes were Violet, a metamorphmagus, while James scorned at her appearance.

"Oceana, " he pointed to her.

"And these are the Weasleys, " he pointed at the family of redheads, twins included who were still talking to Oceana.

Everyone then proceeded to ignore him so he went towards that group.

"Hullo. Why such distaste in your posture when near everyone but happiness when further, " he asked.

"Well you see.." Fred

"The present company..." George

"Is not really.." Oceana

"Pleasant, " the three finished together.

"Yes well i gotta stay with her, " Harry said.

"And i've lived with her for eleven years, my parents constantly ignoring me, " Oceana said.

"There's that but the muggles' abuse almost killed me several times, " Harry said and Oceana nodded

"Hello brother, " she said, pulling him into a hug. Then memories flooded back. They were triplets not twins. He hugged Oceana back

"Hello sister."

The rest of the day was eventful. They went to buy the stuff they needed, had a run-in with the Malfoys who both Harry and Oceana took a liking to, found out the twins were the only Weasleys not in Gryffindor but rather, Slytherin and they were all going to stay at the Leaky Cauldron for the next month until they went back to hogwarts. The day ended with harry saying, "you are not my family" and storming off to his and Oceana's room because the girl who lived needed a private room. Oceana left behind him but nobody noticed.
