Harry Potter: A Different Tale

Soon they all arrived at Hogwarts, and were taken to the hall. The golden trio going to the Gryffindor table while the Silver trio sat at the Slytherin's, soon Dumbledore began making his yearly speech.

"Welcome, welcome" Dumbledore said loudly with from his position at the front "welcome to another year at Hogwarts. I have some important announcements, as you know there is no magic in the corridors. Also I regret to inform you that this year, Quidditch is cancelled" The hall burst into outrage and shouting. Boo's from the twins and one person telling Dumbledore to F off and die, that person was probably Harry. "This is because of a new event that is coming to Hogwarts"

Suddenly the doors to the hall opened and a person walked in, not just any person, it was Mad-eye Moody. Recognisable thanks to his peg leg, cane and magical eye. Harry looked at Mad-eye and an amused smile came across his face.

"I am pleased to introduce our new defence against the dark arts teacher, Alastor Moody." Dumbledore said "As I was saying, it gives me pleasure to announce that this year the school will be hosting the tri-wizard tournament"

"You're joking!" Fred shouted amongst the gasps

"Certainly not Mr Weasley, although I did hear a rather splendid joke about a dwarf, a honey comb and a jacka…" McGonagall coughed "Perhaps another time" Dumbledore went on to explain about the tournament before letting the students leave and go to the common room.

...

In the Slytherin common room, Harry walked up to the centre and stood up on a chair so he as above everyone.

"Hey!" Harry called "Oi, everyone look here" Harry called out and the entire common room looked towards him "for those of you who don't know me, I am Harry Fucking Potter. And I have an announcement to make, we all have enemies in this school, but now I am taking one of them off the market. From now on, nobody will lay a hand or fire a spell at Adrian Potter"

"Are you crazy Potter?!" Malfoy demanded

"Yes" Harry responded "from now on, anyone who has any problems with Adrian Potter will deal with them through me. If my brother has wronged you in some way then come to me and we will discuss it like civilised wizards and witches, however if any of you take matters into your own hands then I will gladly show you what an uncivilised and angry wizard looks like"

"Who do you think you are? Telling us what to do!" Malfoy shouted "You're not special Potter, you're just a…" Malfoy was cut off by Harry blasting him across the room, causing him to crash against a wall and land on the floor in an unconscious heap.

"Any questions?" Harry asked the common room, nobody answered "didn't think so, goodnight"

....

In the Gryffindor common room that night Adrian was sat with the other members of the golden trio. He was feeling very uncomfortable, probably because Ron was looking at him like he was sick whilst Hermione was looking at him like she wanted to cut him up and dissect him.

"Adrian, what's going on with you?" Hermione asked, even though it was clear she was pretty much demanding he told her.

"What do you mean?" Adrian asked

"You've been acting different ever since you stayed with the Potters" Hermione replied "Ron said you even willingly missed the world cup. You love quidditch!"

"Yeah, but I love my mother and father more" Adrian replied "I had fun that night. We stayed up late, we ate whatever we wanted and we played games and told stories! It was brilliant!"

"It can't have been better than the quidditch world cup" Ron said "plus there's how you've been acting with that slimy snake"

"Ron, you call every Slytherin a 'slimy snake', which one are you talking about?"

"Your brother, obviously" Ron replied "you've been spending a lot of time with that prat this summer"

"We've gotten over our differences" Adrian responded "I mean, yeah I thought he was a prat before but now he seems alright. He is really nice if you get him to like you, did you know that he's started teaching me a little bit about wizarding politics and customs?"

"What?!" Hermione exclaimed, horrified that Adrian could learn something that she couldn't.

"Yeah, so far I've only really learnt a little bit, like the differences between house statuses and titles."

"He's turning you into a Slytherin!" Ron said with an alarmed face "He's going to get you to start hating muggleborns and everything"

"Yeah right" Adrian scoffed "you're telling me that Harry 'I love my mother and will kill you if you insult her' Potter would get me to hate muggleborns when mum is one?"

"I'm guessing Harry really cares for your mother then" Hermione said

"Cares for her?" Adrian snorted "He bloody worships her, probably kill for her if she asked him to. But that's not the point, Harry has…actually started being nice to me since mum and dad woke up. He said he wanted to get along for their sakes but…I think we might actually be starting to get along as brothers as well"

"But that doesn't explain why you're acting so different. First you switch divination, you're happily talking with Harry, Rose and that Greengrass girl, you missed the quidditch world cup and you're actually looking forward to studying and training with him"
