Ash Potter & the Sorcerer's stone(year 1)

The boys who lived

The two Potter boys hadn't expected to watch their parent's death happen when they were only a year old, only as innocent children who didn't think of their parents leaving them so soon. But both were forced to keep the trauma as Harry, The oldest, had a lighting bolt scar on his forehead. While Ash, the younger by five minutes, had a huge lighting bolt down his right forearm for the rest of their lives.
Harry had always looked over his brother, even if it ment getting pinched by Dudley, Their cousin, many times to keep him out of trouble. Their Aunt a petunia had taken more of a liking in Ash as he 'never' had gotten into trouble as much as Harry did, Aunt Petunia had tried to separate the two by letting Ash stay in Dudley's room while Harry stayed in the cupboard. But every morning Ash would be found right against Harry while Harry hugged him, and it happened for years on end.
Ash was only a small eight year old when he discovered he liked boys, a ginger boy in his class just like him with bright blue eyes had caught his attention in art one day. Ash would go on and on about the boy, Parker was his name, to Harry when they couldn't sleep. Harry had heard Aunt Petunia talking to Dudley about the neighbor this way, about the daughter the boy's age.
"What does it mean? " Ash asked his brother, the elder laughed and played with Ash's red curls " It means you're in love, bug"
"Harry? What is that? Love, that is? "
"When you like someone very much"
"Like how I love you? "
"In a-eh- different way, bug... Not quite like us, differently. Not family wise"
The younger nodded and laid back down beside his brother.

The two may not look like brothers, but they were basically best friends, too. Harry had taken Raven black hair and green eyes, while Ash had taken Red hair and green eyes. They were both rather skinny for their ages, and could run very fast.

It was the day of Dudley's birthday the two had started thinking about their eleventh birthday years later, how it would be the same as they all were. A simple grumble from Uncle Vernon and an old toy from Dudley, but Aunt Petunia would get Ash a few coloring sets and share them with Harry every time they couldn't sleep. As both boys had many coloring books filled with colored pages of animals and creatures like dragons and such.
Aunt Petunia had made sure Dudley had many gifts on his birthday, they covered the table and almost fell over when the table would move or shift the slightest. She was setting the presents on the table very orderly until she heard the boys come in "start making the bacon, and don't you dare let it burn, Harry. As for you, start the coffee and clean the floors" Both boys gave each other looks before going to their given chores, Ash starting the Coffee and Harry making the food. Both boys let their minds wander to a dream they had, about a flying motorbike. Both having the same dream before, just unable to get it out of their memories.

Petunia had went to grab Dudley from his bedroom while the two younger boys set the table the best they could without knocking anything over, which almost had fallen completely the way they were placed.
Their Aunt had come back with the Chubby, blonde haired boy. Her hands covering his eyes, him bouncing with excitement. "All right, Duddy. Here you go! " She removed her hand from his face and the boy ran over happily. But his face began to fall as he counted them "how many are there? " Ash saw what was coming and Grabbed Harry's arm, pulling him to do the dishes with him. " Thirty-six. Counted them myself." The boy's face turned a light pink "Thirty-six? Last year I had thirty -seven! "
"Well, they're a lot bigger-"
"I don't care how big they are! "
Petunia suddenly stepped in "how about when we go out, we'll buy you two new presents. How's that
sound? "
The boy had settled down "alright." And he started to open the gifts, Ash sighed and shook his head as the boy had complained about a new watch "I wanted one like yours! " The boy shouted while pointing to the gold watch on his Father's wrist "It's almost the same, buddy-"
"No it's not! That's gold, this is cheap plastic! " When the two finished Ash had drug Harry up the stairs to his room, sitting him down on the bed "I heard That they couldn't leave you with Mrs. Figg, she broke her leg, so you'll need some better clothes." The younger had helped Harry into clothes better fit for him, before Petunia called them "let's go, Ash. You ,too, Harry. " She didn't sound very happy to be bringing Harry along with them. As they never brought Harry Anywhere, and only brought him when Ash threw fits, which was rather rare.
The two boys had rushed down the stairs and out to the car, sitting in their seats and talking to each other quietly while Dudley tried to get Ash's attention.
"And then you and I could go to the reptile house and-"
"So, Harry. What do you wanna see at the zoo? "
"Well, maybe the lions, or snakes. "
"We should do Snakes last! So it's even cooler. "
The brothers had talked the whole time until they had arrived at the zoo, Ash leaned to Harry at the entrance "you dream about the flying bike, too? "
Harry nodded "yeah, the one with the big man-"
"He was a very big man"
They laughed at each other, ignoring Dudley's glances and glares as Ash still ignored him. The two brothers had run ahead to get a better look at the animals before Dudley came over demanding to be in front, they looked at the bears for a small bit before Dudley had come over "move! I wanna see it, too! " The boys had slipped around to the back where not many people had been, only a girl and her mother. They had seen from the other side that Dudley had pushed past some kids and stood with his nose pressed against the glass, the fog of his breath appearing and vaporizing on the glass itself. The window the boys were at was very small, almost like a hole in the wall. But a big bigger.
They had gone back around and found their family about to leave, so they once again raced ahead to the aligators and had looked at it closely.
