The former Harry Potter, now newly renamed Leon, made a decision. He was going to look after his new twin—the one who, in this universe, was Harry Potter.

How strange it was to think that he was his own twin!

“Hey Leon, is it true that we’re starting school today?”

The adult in a child’s body tried to search his memory. He found the memories of this body as well as an old presence he thought he’d never feel again.

“I think so… if it’s morning now and not still night…”

His double nodded and nestled his small head against his brother’s too-thin chest. Inwardly, Leon cursed the Dursleys for that condition and was already starting to devise plans to get out of here. From now on, Harry was his number one priority!

Aunt Petunia informed them that it was morning by banging violently on the door of their cupboard. She was used to treating her nephews like that—harsh and mean. It always brought tears to little Harry’s eyes. The child still hoped the Dursley family would come to like him someday. Leon knew that was impossible, but he didn’t have the heart to break his brother’s.

“Hurry up, you little brats! This is the only time I’m driving you to school. You’d better remember the way and not act like helpless idiots!”

“Yes, Aunt Petunia,” replied Leon, stepping in front of his twin so the woman wouldn’t notice his tear-filled eyes.

“Good! Make breakfast fast. You’re not getting into your uncle’s car! Hurry up, I don’t have all day!”

With those words, she left them alone in front of their cupboard. The woman truly didn’t care about them, and the former Boy Who Lived knew it perfectly well.

“Come on, Harry! You take care of the drinks and the toast while I do the bacon and eggs. Sound good?”

The other boy nodded with a small smile. His brother always knew how to reassure him. And so they cooked breakfast, then hurried to leave the room and get dressed quickly, because the former adult knew perfectly well that their aunt wouldn’t wait for them if they weren’t ready at the exact moment she wanted to leave. She’d pulled that trick on him several times. He didn’t want that to happen to his brother.

Of course, Leon was terribly bored at school. He already knew everything the teacher could possibly teach them. By contrast, Harry seemed fascinated—even if, for now, the lesson was mostly about learning how to tie shoelaces and recognize colors.

Meanwhile, Leon was doodling on a sheet of paper—or at least, that’s what it looked like. In reality, it was the written version of Parseltongue. He was making plans to try to get out of the Dursleys’ house as soon as possible. Plans that would allow him to access the magical world as quickly as he could.

If only he were still an adult, he could’ve contacted a lawyer easily…
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ11N8e25bA
A lawyer…
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mn8Mu2FZa
A lawyer who worked in both worlds, preferably…

Ted Tonks!
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrndCWMENO
The Muggle-born had been a well-known lawyer in his former world, though he had to go into hiding after Voldemort took over, according to Andromeda Tonks! He could help them!

Now, he just had to find a way to contact him…
