The other Potter boy

The Quibbler

Faith climbed off the Hogwarts express, with Albus still grumbling because Rose had beaten him at wizards chess. The Platform was crowded with young Witches and Wizards all walking in differant directions. Older students were pushing through crowds of first years, trying to get to the castle first. In the distance, the tip of the Hogwarts astronomy was poking over the horizen. Faith and her friends began trudging across hogsmeade towards the carridges. They climbed into the next empty one, and sat chatting about their summers.

"Can i look at that?" Faith asked indicating Paulina's copy of the Quibbler. The timid Hufflepuff girl passed her the Magazine. Faith lauged at the Headline on the front page. 'Where is he now?'. Underneath was a picture of a boy, who looked a lot like James in a way but also quite geeky like Albus. She realised this was a picture of the teenage Harry. Next to it was a picture of Harry outside his house in Godric's Hollow. Faith grinned and began reading the article.

'Harry Potter; The Boy who Lived, or as we later named him, The chosen one. Not much over 20 years ago it was rare not to see his name in the headlines. Often considered one of Hogwarts most famous, along with albus Dumbledore, the headmaster who many claim favoured Harry. Since the spellbinding finale at the battle of Hogwarts, when lord Voldemort fell, Harry has disapeared from our Headlines. However the long-time fan of the Quibbler offered our Editor, Luna Lovegood, an exclusive interview

Luna: so Harry, you've disapeared from the news these past 20 years. What've you been doing?

Harry: Well, it think it was actually mentioned in the news when i married the beautiful Ginny Weasley 19 years ago, and we have 3 children now, James, Albus and Lily, who all attened Hogwarts.

Luna: Now i heard you work at the ministry now, quite a dramatic change since you were 17.

Harry: yeah i'm now head of the Auror office, and 20 years on we're still catching death eaters! When i was younger i was very much Dumbledores man, the Ministry was unreliabe and ended up infiltrated by the Ministry. But i always did want to be an Auror!

Luna: Of course you ran the popular group 'Dumbledore's Army' and you're now run the Order of the Phoenix, whats it like having had responsibilities like this since you were 15?

Harry: Dumbledore's Army was actually very similar to the Order. I was teachin Defence against the dark arts, and creating a group of, well, rebels to stand up to Voldemort and the Ministry. It's much the same in the Order, except less teaching and more rounding up death eaters! The responsibilities are sometimes hard to handle, but i find myself working with my friends who are always there for me.'

Faith stopped reading, when Rose nudged her and they climbed down. Faith handed Paulina back the Magazine, and walked to the castle thinking about what she had read. She never knew about 'Dumledore's Army' or 'the Order of the Phoenix'. Faith resolved to ask Hagrid later. He had been Harry's favourite teacher, in his opinion!

Paulina seperated from their group and headed to the Hufflepuff table. Faith, Rose and Albus sat down, whilst Lily and Hugo went to sit with their class mates.

"Did you hear?"

"James Potter dating Sophie Finnigan!"

Faiths heart sank as she over heard two of her class mates gossip as they walked past. How could he nearly kiss her, and then just forget about it? Faith composed herself, remembering Victorie's words, "Don't waste your Teenage life on boys." She whispered to herself, as Flitwick lead the First years in.
