Here is an idea that has been in my head for a great long time. I am proud to present my take on what if Harry Potter had a twin brother. Please enjoy the crazy wanderings of my mind.
HDHDHDHDHDHDHDHDHDHD
All the first years have been sorted into their houses and now just stood a boy that held the shocking resemblance to one Harry Potter. Of course there was the fact that the boy looked slightly shorter, tanner, the left side of his gelled up bangs was dyed a bright green, he looked Korean for some reason, he wasn't wearing any glasses, and he had a big confident smile on his face that had been there since he walked into the great hall of Hogwarts. "Shang Potter."
McGonagall called the boy looked up. He got off the wall and walked toward the professor and then loudly stated, "If you don't mind Professor I would like to go by my adopted last name. You know if I am my own person and Harry is his own."
The professor blinked still holding the sorting hat in the air as she gathered her thoughts, "Shang Parker then."
The boy smiled another big smile, "Perfect. I am ready to be sorted now." Then promptly sat on the chair waiting patiently for the hat to be placed on his head. It took another couple of seconds for the poor professor to gather herself again. Not once did the smile leave the boys face as he waited. The entire school was looking at him and didn't know what to think of him as he had not once tried to hide his face. Nor did he even seem phased by the attention that was on him.
When the hat was on his head the hat had to really think on the boy. He was rather intelligent and had an equal measure of ambition and bravery and his loyalty was impressive as it seemed if you were the right person to give it to. Shang cocked an eyebrow waiting for the verdict, "As it seems you will have to be placed in…RAVENCLAW."
A mouthed out 'nice' came from the new fifth year boy as he walked over to the cheering table. He sat down and leaned back winking at Harry before leaning forward to on his elbows to answer the questions being asked of him. "Wait are you really Potters brother?"
Shang nodded and looked over at the blond teen in front of him, "Semi identical if I do say so myself."
"So what is it like being a brother to him?"
The boy shrugged, "Don't know haven't had the time to really get to know him yet. But I will don't you worry about that. I would be a bad brother if I didn't get to know my own brother now wouldn't I?"
"So it's Parker, right?"
"Please just call me Glitch everyone I know does." The boy responded with a smirk and a wave of his hand.
One of the girls looked at him funny, "Wait why glitch?"
He gave her a smug look as he leaned forward toward her, "Sweetheart that is my dancing name."
The girl turned bright red, stuttering as she leaned back from the boy now called Glitch. Said boy had leaned back as another girl asked a question, "Wait you dance? What kind?"
The boy snickered and smirked, "I do street dancing."
The boy on his left cocked an eyebrow, "What is street dancing?"
The boy with green in his hair happily went into describing what street dancing was even going so far as to show a few moves even though he was still in the great hall. When he sat back down he looked at his fellow classmates, "Hm, is something wrong?"
"Um…did you just do that in front of everyone?" One of the girls asked, her face bright red from the thrill of watching his dance.
Glitch cocked an eyebrow, "You realize I do that every time I dance at the subway at home right?"
"But in front of your peers?"
The boy laughed, "Why would that be a problem? You got to understand I am a dancer by trade thus I am used to the attention. I just don't dwell on it is all. Why bother with it if it just gets to your head. I dance for the thrill not the attention. Unfortunately attention is apart of it." The rest of lunch was spent talking happily with his class and house mates. Answering any question happily and without problem. When dinner was done Glitch quickly went to find Harry pulling him away from his two friends with a semi sorry apology.
Harry looked at his semi identical twin, "Um, you do realize that you have to follow you house mates or you won't know where to go right?"
Glitch waved him off, "Na, already asked how to get there and what the password was. I am set. Now for you and I oh and here is your password for you rooms. I took the liberty of getting it before grabbing you."
The glasses wearing twin blinked and took the slip of paper, "Oh you really…um…"
The non-glasses wearing twin laughed, "Yea yea, no worries. So you and I are twin, how fascinating."
Harry blinked at the bright look in his twins eyes, "I guess."
Glitch looked at him with a big smile, "You don't. Man you and I are very different. At least we won't be like the um…oh right the Weasley twins."
The boy with the scar on his head laughed, "Are you always this cheerful?"
Glitch smiled again, "Yes oh and energetic. I sometimes have an over abundance energy that I can't even sit still."
"Is there a reason you boys are still out in the hallway?" A rather chirpy and annoying voice asked behind Glitch.
The twin with green in his hair turned with a big smile on his face, "Yes ma'am there is. You see I have never seen my twin brother before today. I felt like I should get to know him a little. Is there a problem with that Professor Umbridge?"
The lady looked strictly down at Glitch, "Mister Potter…"
"Actually ma'am like I said in the great hall, I prefer Mister Parker if you please." The energetic twin said with an 'innocent' smile and flutter his eyelashes." Glitch turned to his brother before the professor could say anymore. "As it seems dear brother you and I must part ways till tomorrow. So ta ta for now." Then preceded to dash down the hall to the Ravenclaw rooms.
All Harry could think was, 'This is going to be an interesting year.'
