We all know the story of Harry Potter and the great battle between what is good and what is evil, right and wrong. Harry Potter’s triumphant glory when he as a baby still making gurgling sounds in his cradle was able to foil the Dark Lords plans of world domination. Harry is the only known survivor of the curse, and the Dark Lords mysterious defeat causes the wizarding community to dub Harry "The Boy Who Lived". Then if you well, his struggled with everyday life living with the Dursleys and his return to the magical world and to Hogwarts school of Witch Craft and Wizardy. It was here he met the two people that single handedly helps him time and time again, first in the chamber of secrets to the deathly hollows Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley. We all cried hated The Malfoy’s and Snape along with Harry but we always cried when Sirius and Dobby died. Most off all we all felt lost for a day when the books ended. Let me take back that night Harry Potter became the boy that lived and lets play a game called ‘what if’.
“James, I am going to go take a shower” Lily said in that soft voice she always used when James. The soft steps of her going up the stairs, the sound of a door opening, water turning on and the silences of just that filled the house.
James smirked as he heard the water turning on. So much to do so he headed to his study, opened on the white with a flick of his wand. The door closed and with quill in hand he started to write the letter to Sirius and Dumbledore.
Darkness swam around the house, safe as it was they never thought the Dark Lord would ever be able to find them. Silent as a serpent he moved, wand to the ready but no sign of the Potters, the sound of a baby alerted him to where Harry was hiding and like so he moved down the hall. No sound was offered, his dark robes brushed along the cherry wood floor as he turned into the room the baby was being held.
“Ah so Harry Potter we meet at last.” His voice was dangerously wicked as he spoke, just looking at the baby he felt an over power of joy like nothing he had ever felt before. Wand was lifted, Harry Potter looked at him with such eyes and then a scream escaped his small lips. The Dark Lord lifted his wand and called the killing curse to its tip.
James rushed in, his heart in this throat the moment he saw the Dark Lord utter the curse. “LILY! NOOO…“ James yelled at the top of his lungs.
The spell erupted in a jet of green but something happened, something terribly wrong and the Dark Lord felt himself fade unto nothingness. Fleeing from the house to find a place to rest, to hide until he could figure out what happened.
James moved slowly to the cradle expecting to see their son dead but the baby looked up at him, a lightening scar on his forehead and a giggle on his lips as if he knew what had happened.
So, lets take a magic broom forward… Harry Potter (The Boy Who Lived) is waiting silently for the train to Hogwarts to come, his father James Potter stands at his site along his wife Lily. Both are smiling at Harry with such Pride and joy, his mother hiding her nervous reaction to her boy leaving for school. But what could Harry Potter be thinking? Heis famous, kids all over the world know his name, books have been written about him, everyone stares with admiration, some even move out of his way and let him pass. Harry Potter no longer lives in a world where he is an outcast. He no longer lives in a world where he is just the boy under the stairs. His mother and father did not die in a car crash or by the Dark Lord. His godfather and James and Lily’s best friend still lives and had never been convicted of killing muggles. The world is a place of peace and happiness.
Wrong… Anyone with that much fame would be a little narcissistic, egotistic, self-absorbed and to some it all up more like Draco or a Spoiled Brat. So here is the deal… Harry Potter is all of them things but the real question is… Could he be good or evil? With that being said he would be more likely told about the Hogwarts hat and what houses it puts you in. Oh and lets not forget he would not be as frightened of each house as he was before.
So in this storyline Harry Potter is placed in Slytherin (Like the hate wanted in the first place), he does not know Ron or Hermione and he is famous just as before but this time he knows it, he grew up knowing it. So the real question of the hour is…
Is Harry Potter Good or Evil?
What will happen this time around?
