Carry On, Wayward Sons [Harry Potter's Brother Reader]

Have You Ever Heard Of The Mad House?

"Aah, it's so helpful having a potions prodigy as your girlfriend, especially when your potions teacher hates your damn guts." Y/N said with a smirk as he was sitting in the Gryffindor Common room with Harry, the two brothers were reading, with Y/N giving Harry help on his Potions homework, Snape may hate the potter boys, Y/N especially, but Beatrice and Penny were skilled enough to help them both get through their exams.

"Y/N?"

"Hm?"

"Why does Professor Snape hate us both?" Harry asked as Y/N paused for a moment.

"Because our father wasn't always a good man Harry, for some time, he was a bit of a bully, with Snape being his victim due to Snape liking our mum." Y/N said as he read his book.

"What?"

"Snape had a thing for mum, they were childhood friends and then one day something happened between them, mum never really explained that part to me, just that it was something both she and Snape regret, as did our dad. Snape doesn't care about the fact our father regrets it though, he just cares about the fact our father bullied him, as far as he's concerned, it ends there." Y/N said as he looked to his little brother. "Don't let him get to you, he's just reminded of dad whenever he looks at us, you especially. Although he may also be a little sore because you remind him of mum, with your eyes."

Harry smiled at the thought of his parents. Y/N pulled him in with one arm and hugged him.

"They'd be proud of you Harry, I know I am." Y/N said as he smiled at his little brother before noticing the time. "I should get going, I've got a lesson in a few minutes."

"What subject is it?" Harry asked as Y/N stopped dead in his tracks as he turned to look at his little brother.

"Not one I particularly like the idea of you studying, but one I feel you may need to learn when you get the opportunity." Y/N said as he hugged Harry. "Now, remember, if you can't find me for help with your potions, Beatrice or Penny are available to help you, they're better at potions than me."

Harry nodded.

"See you around Hazzer." Y/N said as he left, the portrait door opening to reveal Hermione.

"Hello Y/N." She said politely.

"Hey Hermione, good day?"

"Yes thank you, You?" Hermione asked as Y/N nodded.

"Yeah, it's going well so far, give me until after potions and the answer will probably be different." Y/N joked as he walked past Hermione who smiled, she couldn't help but blush slightly before reminding herself mentally that Y/N was her friends older brother, and her elder by at least a year.

Y/N arrived at the monster studies classroom and knocked on the door with his small water bottle in hand as he peeked through the door which was slightly ajar. As he looked in he saw Professor Snape.

Y/N checked the class room seeing that it was the correct classroom he looked in again to find Snape standing there looking directly at him. Y/N jumped slightly, nearly swearing out loud as the door opened.

"If you intend on spying Mr Potter might I suggest you don't announce your presence with a knock?" Snape said dryly as Y/N looked at him.

"I had no intention of spying until I caught you snooping around here, what are you looking for?" Y/N asked as Snape looked at him.

"I don't think that that's really any of your business is it Mr Potter?" Snape said as Y/N looked at him.

"Look, I'm in this class for my next lesson, and I don't want to have to wade through the three feet of grease that comes off of your head so if I knew what you were looking for I might be able to help you." Y/N said as Snape sneered at him.
