The Fourth Potter

⚡️Chapter 2⚡️

September 1, 1992

"Are you excited, Evan? Your first year at hogwart!" Lily cooed
"Yeah mum, I'm excited" an 11 year old Evan said
"Come on, we'll mis the train" Harry hugged his mother and father goodbye as he grabbed his younger brothers cloak in one hand and his luggage in the other and started running.
The two boys ran as fast as they could to make it onto the train in time. When they finally found a compartment, they sat down facing one another and began laughing. It took them a minute to catch their breathe. It took Harry a bit longer to steady his breathing due to the fact that Draco Malfoy happened to walk past his compartment.
The brother talked the whole way to Hogwarts, uninterrupted, because of Ron and Hermione's prefect duties. As the train approached its final stop the boys began to get themselves ready for the new school year. When they arrived, the Potter's got off train and Harry led Evan to Hagrid to introduce him.
"Hello Hagrid, this is my brother, Evan." Harry said
"Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Evan" replied Hagrid
"The pleasure is mine, sir" Evan said taking Hagrid aback.
The boys went their separate ways, Harry to the carriage pulled by a creature he was not able to see with his best friends, and Evan to a boat with his fellow first years.

As Harry walked into the great hall he spotted his best friends, Ron and Hermione, and walked towards the gryffindor table positioned across the room. As he sat down in between the two.
"Hey Harry, isn't your brother being sorted tonight?" Hermione asked
"Yeah, there he is" Harry said, looking around to find Evan to point him out to his friends. He noticed Cedric sitting behind him at the hufflepuff table and smiled.
Harry realised that the sorting had begun and was surprisingly worried.
"What's wrong, mate?" Ron questioned
"Nothing, it's just, I don't know. Like, last year I didn't see him at all because he wasn't here but he's here and I feel like if he's not sorted into Gryffindor I won't see him again until summer. Does that make sense?" Replied Harry
By the time Harry finished his rant about his you her brothers house, Evan was walking up to the hat.
" AH,, ANOTHER POTTER. GOOD LOOK WITH THESE, HEADMISTRESS. HUFFLEPUFF"
     The Sorting Hat was removed from the boys head. Evan walked down towards a cheering Hufflepuff table and sat down next to Cedric Diggory. As he sat down he saw his older brother, who looked less than pleased.
     Harry turned around to face his brother
"Congrats, brother mine."
"Thanks bro, I do my best." Evan replied.

EVAN'S P.O.V

Harry looked like he was going to be sick. I was genuinely concerned until I saw the boy sitting next to me. I couldn't help but look at him. We made eye contact.
"I'm Cedric Diggory." The handsome boy said
"Evan,, Potter." He is breathtaking how could I possibly be expected to form a full sentence with his beautiful eyes looking at me.
"Hey!" Harry snapped in my face. I didn't know he could snap.
"Yeah, what"
"Don't 'yeah, what' me little brother. I'll never see you anymore, now you're in hufflepuff"
"NOT TRUE. You'll see me plenty it isn't that big of a deal, Harry"
"YEAH SURE NOT A BIG DEAL WHAT DOES THAT MEAN" he was yelling. I was worried his head would explode from lack of oxygen.
"HEY, POTTER 1 CHILL OUT" A blonde boy from the slytherin table shouted.
"CHILL OUT??? ME!!!! IM THE CHILLEST, MALFOY! IM ULTIMATE CHILL! AND STAY OUT OF MY BUSINESS!" This is surprisingly not out of character for Harry.
"YOU MADE IT MY BUSINESS THE MOMENT YOU STARTED SHOUTING, POTTER." This Malfoy guy really know how to call my brother out. If he takes this any further I might have to step in.
"Maybe stop yelling, Harry? Just a thought" whispered Ron
I had to laugh at that. Is Cedric laughing? He is. That's great.
Harry is fuming. I feel kind of bad.
"Look, it'll be fine bro. We'll figure something out. Don't worry about. You'll see me enough."
"Yeah, I know." Harry said in his normal voice. Loud but normal.

CEDRIC'S P.O.V

I smiled at the short first year sat next to me. I was still laughing about the conversation between Harry and Draco. Evan is laughing as well. Damn, he has a nice laugh.
"Is this a regular occurrence in the Potter household?" I ask him
"More than he'd like me to admit."
"You've just learned my name and you're already sharing family secrets eh?"
"Well,.,, you've got a trustworthy face"
Is it weird that I can't breathe whenever he smiles? Because I can't breathe whenever he smiles!

EVAN'S P.O.V

Cedric is very good looking I think I'll get used to this house, away from Harry. I mean, I love him but when I need help on transfiguration I'll let him know.
"Thank you, I don't get that too often." He said
Charming, very charming. Okay, I should say something witty.
"Well, I try not to share family secrets too often." Was that witty. He laughed, okay witty, good this is good.
"Any other family secrets you shouldn't share?"
With a face like that I'd give him my social security, and phone number.
"We'll have to wait and see about that."
"I can't wait."
Yes! There will be a next time! Oh he's getting up.
"See ya later."
"See ya, Evan" he said with a wave.
I hate to see him leave but I love to watch him go.
"Hey" I heard Harry say from behind me
"What's up?"
"We are. We are 'what's up' we are 'up' we're going to bed. Do you know where the hufflepuff whatever is?"
"Yeah, I'll go too."
"You wanna come with us?"
"I'm good. I'll just follow the yellow and hope for the best. This is the friendly house after all."
