Brothers

Summary:

There had been two boys born at the end of July. Two brothers. Yet only one could be the defeater of The Dark Lord.

But what if they got it wrong?

What if instead of rightfully crowning Harry James Potter they instead crowned Skyler Remus Potter?

~

After years of neglect Harry Potter ran away at the age of eight He ran and was eventfully found by a rich couple who couldn't have kids. He was taken in and there he met his best friend/brother Alex Tom Ravin. After years of homeschooling it was decided that they were to be sent to Hogwarts in their 4th year. The year of the Triwizard Tournament.

What could go wrong?

Notes:

This is being edited and brought over form Wattpad! This is my story but I do NOT own the Harry Potter universe!

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

"Lily get the kids and run!" James Potter yelled to his wife as The Dark Lord raised his wand. 

 

A loud thump was heard as James Potter fell to the ground. 

 

Lily ran to the nursery putting her sons in their cribs and standing in front of them in a despite attempt to shield them. 

 

"Step aside silly girl." A cool voice said.

 

"No! Kill me instead!" Lily screamed.

 

A second thump as Lily hit the floor. 

 

Voldemort looked at the two twin boys. Two small cribs on the left wall, both made of dark, polished, wood. The first (closest) child had flaming red hair and Hazel eyes. He was balling his eyes out screaming for his mum. The other had raven black hair and striking emerald green eyes. He had a challenging look in his eyes. Both children had power it was clear, but the second one, the second one had power radiating from him.

 

Yes, this would be the one he killed first. 

 

"Avada Kedavra"  

 

The green wave shot out of his wand at the black haired boy. 

 

The boy put his small, thin hand in front of the beam and the green light exploded.

 

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh"  Voldemort let out a bloodcurdling scream as he turned to dust.

 

The ground shook and a piece of the window broke next to the red haired boy giving him a Z shaped cut on his forehead. 

 

With the death of Voldemort the stunning spell on Lily and James Potter wore off. 

 

The parents both quickly rushed up to the room with their twin boys. 

 

The red haired boy was crying and holding his forehead. 

 

Lily quickly rushed to the crying boy. 

 

"James!!!"

 

"What!?"

 

Lily showed the boy's Z Scar.

 

"He defeated You-Know-Who"

 

"Skyler's done it! He killed Voldemort!" James yelled, and this time the name seemed to lack power. 

 

"I'll call Albus!" Lily said before handing James, Skyler and rushing over to the Fire place.

 

At that moment both parents seemed to have forgotten the raven haired boy sitting in his own crib.

 

This was only the first of many mistakes...
