Harry Potter: A Different Tale

The rest of the school year went by quickly, not much happened over than Draco being annoying. Adrian had an unspoken agreement with Harry where the two would leave each other alone, somehow Snape had made a similar agreement with Adrian though that was probably due to the threat of Lily hexing him if he didn't.

At the end of the year Harry, Rose and Adrian made their way to the headmasters office, they would be going home via floo. When they arrived they found the Potters, Remus and Sirius waiting for them.

"Ready to go guys?" James asked

"More than ready" Harry smiled

"Me too" Adrian nodded

"Ah, about that" Dumbledore made his presence known, he walked up the group "I'm afraid that I cannot permit Adrian to stay at your home this summer"

"What?!" Adrian blurted out in surprise

"I don't see how it's any of your business where he stays" Harry said

"Harry's right!" Lily looked at Dumbledore with hate "what right do you have to say where my son can spend his summer?"

"I am his magical guardian" Dumbledore pointed out

"No, you're not, we are!" James replied

"I'm afraid you are mistaken" Dumbledore replied "you two were unable to look after Adrian so I had taken responsibility of him. Until the court says otherwise, you are not his magical guardian"

"Even so, why can't Adrian spend his summer with us?!"

"I think it would be best if Adrian spent his summer with the Weasleys" Dumbledore spoke calmly "there will be quite a few order meetings at Grimmauld place over the summer and it has yet to be checked for dark objects so i believe it's better for Adrian not to be there this summer. Perhaps next summer, by then you should be able to regain custody and the house should be a lot safer"

"But Dumbledore…" Adrian was about to protest

"Adrian, this is for your own good" Dumbledore cut him off

"Of course it is" Harry snorted

"Do you doubt that I am doing this for Adrian's own benefit?" Dumbledore asked Harry

"Yes" Harry immediately replied "I do doubt you, that's because you are a…"

"Harry" Lily cut him off "forget it, Dumbledore's clearly made up his mind and doesn't care for what the rest of us mere mortals think"

"I'm sorry you see it that way my dear" Dumbledore said in a sad voice

"Stuff your sorry Dumbledore!" Lily growled "I'm sorry you're alive" Lily said and Harry couldn't help but feel pride in his mother.

"Oh, so that's where I get it from" Harry commented

"Adrian" Lily turned to Adrian "we'll always love you, please write to us, okay?"

"Okay mum" Adrian nodded as his mother hugged him

"I'll miss you baby, stay safe" She whispered into his ear and let go, she wiped her tears from her face and left through the fireplace. Dumbledore was glared at by Sirius, Remus and James as they also left. Harry walked up to his brother.

"You had better write to her, because if you don't then I will find you and I will kick your ass, is that understood?" Harry looked him in the eye

"Yeah" Adrian said "understood"

"Good" Harry replied

"Mr Potter" Dumbledore said "you cannot threaten your…"

"As for you" Harry interrupted Dumbledore "you made my mother cry, that's unforgivable. I will make you pay for that, I promise you that one day you are going to pay for that"

"Oh?" Dumbledore raised an eyebrow

"I know what you're thinking, you think it's impossible. Well I'm a Potter, when we want something we don't get stopped by something as pathetic as impossible"

"And how do you plan to do that?" Dumbledore challenged. Harry just smirked at him and walked into the fireplace before picking up some floo powder

"One day Dumbledore, one day" Harry said "as for how I plan to do it. Well….that would be telling, goodbye" Harry tossed the floo powder on the floor and disappeared in the green flames.
