Harry Potter: The Ghost

"It seems that I won't be getting myself the letter for Hogwarts." A blue eyed boy with black wild hair said as he looked at the owl that was standing on the table in front of him.

Around the table were six people, one of them is the blue eyed boy, there is another boy with similar facial features to the blue eyed boy, the only difference is this boy have hazel eyes.

The other four are adults, Fleamount, Euphemia, Charlus and Dorea Potter. They all were looking at the blue eyed boy with some sadness and the other boy had tears in his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Fleamount said "It's alright son. Even if Hogwarts haven't invited you, we four will teach you everything we know without leaving anything out."

"John. You don't have to worry, we will make it work in some way." Charlus told John.

Smiling at them, John said "Dad, Mum, uncle, aunt my only worry is leaving James in Hogwarts unchecked."

"Oi!" Spurtted James as he heard that.

The adults all chuckled at that too as they know that John is the level headed one in the twins. Clutching his letter in his hands, James asked his father "Dad, can we sent John to Hogwarts one year and the next year me? That will be the greatest prank in history of Hogwarts!"

"Well if you had tried to read the book that I gifted last Yule, you would know that the Headmaster can identify everyone present inside the Castle." John told his elder twin.

"But we can use the Cloak! Dad, you said no one knew that you used it!" James said looking at his father.

"That is true, but I am not going to let you use the cloak for getting your brother to Hogwarts." Sighing, Fleamount looked at John and continued "John, let's go to the Diagonal Alley and buy you both wands. And we will homeschool you in your magical studies."

Shrugging at that suggestion, John said "Sure, I'm up for it. But I will continue doing my school in muggle world until I get myself a mastery in one of their subject."

"Whyyyyyy?" James groaned out with a scrunched up face.

Looking at James, John said "Well I can't be seen not doing anything while my brother will be studying in Hogwarts and become the Head of our family."

Dorea looked at her godson and said "But you can learn magic from us four. Your father is genius in Potions, your mother is a genius in Charms, your godfather is a genius in Transfiguration and your godmother is a genius in Dark Arts. We can whip up a training regime that would allow you to be on par or above a Hogwarts graduate. So why do you want to study in the muggle world and not in the magical world?"

Smiling at his godmother, John said "When did I say that I won't be studying about magical world?"

The adults looked at each other and it was James who asked the question that was floating in their heads "How are you going to study in both muggle and magical world? You can't be at two places at once?"

"You're not going to use a time turner right?" Euphemia asked her second son with a narrowed eye.

Shaking his head in denial, John said "I won't be using the time turner. What I'll be doing is one thing that is unique to me. Or so I believe, I haven't seen or heard anyone doing the same thing."

At that, the curiosity of the ones surrounding the table were piqued. And Charlus asked John "And what would that be?"

"This." Saying so, John started to split in the middle and in few seconds there were two John's in front of them and the two of them said at the same time "I believe that I'm able to make a clone of myself and our mind is connected like a give mind, so I believe that in time I could create more clones."

The adults were having a hard time from changing their expression surprise to normal, but James was the first one to regain his surprise and shouted out "THAT'S COOL! YOU CAN HAVE ONE OF YOUR CLONE TAKE POLYJUICE AND LOOK LIKE ME AND THEN WE CAN WREK MAYHEM IN HOGWARTS!!!"

Chuckling at his brother's enthusiasm in pranking, John said as the clone disappeared with a flash of blue, "Well, I can't do that brother. It's illegal and I need my clone for my studies."

James sat down dejectedly as he heard the words of his brother and Fleamount who came out of his surprised state said "That cloning technique was used by one of the Potter ancestor. Abraham Potter. He used his clone to continue his research on Potions and his duties as the Head of the House Potter. Only the Head of the House know about this story and I don't want this ability to be out in the open." Taking a deep breath and noticing that everyone was looking at him with knowing look, he continued "Changes are happening in Britain. Some old pureblood families have become extinct in the past few years. The official story is that they died because of a disease, but everyone knows that there are some dark undercurrents going around in the background and I don't want those unpleasant people to know about John's ability, so it will be kept as a family secret."

John nodded his head and told his father "That's why, I was thinking about moving across the pond to the U.S.A. Where I can comfortably complete my muggle education and a clone will be left here to complete my magical education under our family."

Charlus pondered for a bit and said "Alright, if brother and sister are alright with it, Dorea and I will go to U.S.A with John and make sure that he's living under adult supervision. We will be back for every holidays for the family get together."

Fleamount still looking at his youngest son said "Alright, we can do that."

"For your information, we will traveling to U.S.A muggle way. I don't want the magical world to know about my departure." John told them and they all nodded in agreement.

James on the other hand had a calculating glint in his eyes after knowing about John's power to make a clone of himself.

As the family fell into a comfortable silence, Euphemia said "How about we leave for Diagonal Alley right now and get you boys your wands?"

At that, James jumped up from his seat and shouted out as he ran to his room "Yes! I'm going to change!"

The adults chuckled at his reaction and John just stood up from his seat and made his way to his room to change into something comfortable.

As soon as John left, Euphemia asked the rest "Do you think that it was a mistake from Hogwarts parts that John didn't get his letter?"

The Potter men looked at each other and the eldest spoke "That might be possible, but I think it's because John haven't shown any kind of accidental magic. And Dorea had searched for his core and found it with half the actual amount of a normal wizard at his age should have. I think, these reasons has contributed for the Book of Admittance to not let the Quill of Acceptance to write John's name in it."

"True." Dorea muttered under her breath.

Euphemia looked down dejectedly and Fleamount had the face of understanding. Charlus looked at his brother and sister-in-law and aksed "Why do you look like John got the worst end of the stick?"

Dorea looked at her husband to shut him up, but if Charlus Potter wanted to convey something then he will see it through so he continued while tactfully ignoring his wife "At least John won't be under the 'watchful gaze' of Albums 'too many names' Dumbledore. Tthat man have the silver tongue from the devil himself. John will grow up unbiased and won't be a mindless sheep that follows the leader of the light." Then looking at his brother, Charlus said "Which should have been you, he got the Leader of Light mono linker only because father had died five years back and you had not taken upon the hereditary seat in Wizengamot."

"True. I didn't want to be in those chambers if I couldn't help it. What would you want me to do? Go back there and stir up trouble?" Fleamount asked his brother.

"Yes." Siad Charlus, then shaking his head he said "We're going off track. As I said, John will have an unbiased worldwide view if any of us can help it and even though James is the eldest, we all know that he takes council from John at times."

"Yes, when he got caught doing some prank on one of us." Dorea said from the side and at that remark they all chuckled for a bit.

They then started to make small list of things that they will have to do for their trpto Diagonal Alley, as they were discussing about their plans, John and James had made their way back to dining room where the adults were.

James was wearing dark blue robes and his trademark round glasses, even though he don't need those glasses. John was wearing a grey robes, under the robes, he was wearing a white shirt and black pants.

Seeing both of them, the adults stood up and moved to the living room where the fire place is at and they left as a pair with John taking the arms of Dorea and James taking the arms of Euphemia.

Passing through the pub that they had arrived by floo travel, the six of them passed through the barrier that separated the Diagonal Alley and the muggle world. They didn't stop for anything and went straight to the wand shop, Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C.

Entering the old building, the family looked to the deep end of the store where the sound of whistling can be heard. Slowly, a man came towards them whistling, and looking at the family he said "The Potter's! I have been expecting you for some time."

Looking at the young boys at the forefront of the Potter family, the man said "My name is Ollivander, I'm on of the finest wand maker in the world. Now, who will go first?"

James looked at his brother and pushed him to the front so he can get his wand first. John just shook his head at that while thinking 'Even though I know that he want to get his wand as soon as possible, he still pushes me forward. Well, my dear brother, I believe that you will be waiting for some time.'
