Harry Potter: A Different Tale

Chapter 22: Family Ties



McGonagall and Flitwick are still there, they're really nice and know their stuff. Did you know Severus Snape is the potions teacher and head of Slytherin house? He seems alright to me, my brother annoys the hell out of him though, understandable in my opinion.

Oh and good news, as of yesterday, I have got a girlfriend. Her name is Daphne Greengrass, best looking Slytherin in the school, scratch that, best looking girl in the school. Anyway, apparently we're both under a marriage contract and we decided to give it a go and see if it works. She won't admit it but I think she's falling for me, can't really blame her, I've got the legendary Potter charm on my side.

You'd like her, she's blonde and has lovely blue eyes and is really pretty. She's also pretty funny and nice once you get past the ice queen mask that she puts on, though I think I've been a bit of a bad influence on her, thanks to me she's discovered sass and sarcasm. Merlin help us all.

I suppose I probably should talk about my brother, the wizarding world sees him as a hero. They're calling him the boy-who-lived, a stupid name and I'd like to point out that I also lived. Anyway, everyone says that he's responsible for defeating Voldemort. But that's not the part that irritates me, he's become spoilt and arrogant.

I know I probably sound like a whining child but it's true, he doesn't put effort into anything and thinks he can get through life just by saying he's the boy-who-lived. Dumbledore is ridiculously biased in his favor so he thinks that he can do whatever he wants, he treats everyone else like they should be lucky to be in his presence.

I don't have much hope for him to be honest, I hope you can wake up and sort him out, but enough about him. Let's see, what else should I tell you, oh I'm on the quidditch team. Youngest seeker in a century, youngest player in a century actually. I hope your proud dad, oh and mum, my favorite subject so far is charms. Professor Flitwick makes it so enjoyable, I can see why you like him."

Harry lost count of how long he talked to his parents, he told them about school and his friends, he also told them everything he did so far at school. He checked his watch and saw he had about two minutes left.

"Shoot" Harry exclaimed, he stood up and looked around. Fortunately nobody was there, apart from the Longbottoms but they weren't really in a state to recall anything. Harry removed a vial from his pocket and walked up to his father "sorry about this dad"

Harry removed a needle and pricked his father's fingers, causing a little bit of blood to drip out, Harry caught it in the vial. He corked the vial, then took out a different vial and did the same to his mother.

"Sorry" Harry said as he out the vials in his pockets and wiped the blood off of their fingers "I'll be back to visit you again, not sure when, but I will. Love you guys"

Harry wiped his eyes and exited the room, he found Snape waiting outside for him. With a nod, thw two started walking to the nearest floo exit. Soon they returned back to Hogwarts, and into Snape's office.

...

"Thank you sir" Harry said as he made his way to the door

"Mr Potter" Snape's silky voice stopped him just as he opened the door "did you enjoy your time today?"

"Yes sir" Harry nodded

"May I ask, what did you do in there?"

"I talked" Harry answered "some studies have shown that coma victims can hear and understand everything that is going on around them, so I talked and hoped that they listened."

"Hmm, I assume you would like to go again" Snape responded

"Yes, but I do not wish to bother you if you are busy" Harry responded "I plan to visit them during the holidays"

"Very well" Snape replied, he was in no hurry to go back there.

"Thank you again sir" Harry said as he made his way out, he walked over to the great hall and sat at the Slytherin table with Daphne and Tracy.

"Hi Harry" Both girls greeted him

"Hi guys" Harry replied, he gave Daphne a quick kiss on the cheek as well.

"Where were you?" Tracy asked

"Went to see my parents" Harry answered, with a look and tone of voice that said 'move on'

"Do you have any plans today?" Daphne took the hint and to Harry's delight changed the subject

"Not really" Harry shrugged "unless you have something you'd like to do"

"Well, I was thinking of quickly doing homework then spending the rest of the day relaxing" Daphne replied

"Yuck, homework" Tracy groaned

"Seems like a good idea to me" Harry interrupted before the two could start arguing "I'd rather get it out of the way now."

"You see" Daphne looked smugly at Tracy "another person who agrees with me"

"He is your boyfriend" Tracy responded "of course he is going to agree with you"

"Doesn't change the fact that he does" Daphne pointed out.

"I hate you two" Tracy groaned

"No you don't" Harry and Daphne said at the same time, they looked at each other before bursting out laughing.

"Oh good god, there's two of them" Tracy placed her hand in her heads

"And what's wrong with that?" Harry smirked
