Harry Potter: A Different Tale

Harry and Daphne were in the common room when Rose and Nott reappeared, Rose was adorably eating an ice cream while Nott was smiling at her.

"Good date Rose?" Harry asked

"Hmm" Rose nodded and continued eating

"Hey Nott" Harry said to Theo

"Yeah?" Nott asked

"You live for today"

One day, Adrian and Harry were called for the weighing of the wands ceremony. They entered when they saw the other champions, they each offered the others a nod. Harry crossed his arms and leaned against a wall, looking the picture of cool. Adrian did the same, trying to replicate the same effect.

The other school headmasters were there, along with Dumbledore, Ludo Bagman, Rita Skeeter, her camera man and Olivander. The ceremony started, Olivander started off with Fleur, Krum and Cedric. Then it was Adrian's turn.

"Ah, this is one of mine" Olivander smiled momentarily before taking the wand "holly, eleven inches with a phoenix core" he then started frowning "I don't remember ever handing it to you"

"Dumbledore gave it me, sir" Adrian replied

"Hmm, there is a problem here lad" Olivander sighed "this wand is not compatible for you"

"What does that mean?" Adrian asked

"It means that the wand doesn't work properly for you" Harry explained "if it was compatible then your magic would be much better, tomorrow you and me can go and buy a new wand"

"Probably best" Olivander agreed, handing the wand back

"Now, are you sure about this?" Dumbledore said, he was hoping Adrian would stick with the Phoenix wand, after all it was Voldemorts wands brother wand "I'm sure that this wand works just fine"

"Dumbledore" Harry said in a tired voice "birds don't tell lions how to hunt, neither do snakes tell birds how to fly. The same way a school headmaster shouldn't be telling an expert wand maker that he is wrong in a conversation about wands" Everyone looked at him, openly gaping at the way he talked to the headmaster

"The boy is right" Olivander smiled "you mind your business Albus and I will mind my own, now will the other Potter show his wand?"

"Sure thing" Harry walked over and handed Olivander his wand

"Hmm, interesting, this is not one of mine" Olivander said, surprising the British people in the room as nearly everyone got their wands from Olivander "hmm, I've never seen this wood before. What is it?"

"It comes from a special tree that grows in China" Harry answered "I believe that in English it's called 'Free' wood."

"Hmm" Olivander continued to inspect it "these cores?"

"The feather of a thunderbird and a shadow spike from an acrobatula" Harry replied, causing everyone to once again gape.

Thunderbirds were extremely powerful and they usually made powerful and destructive wands. What was even more frightening was the fact that it was also made from an acrobatula. Acrobatulas were an unholy combination of spiders and bats, they had the body and wings of a bat except they had two wings on each side and could sprout spider legs from their mid-section when they wished to go to the ground.

They were known for hiding in shadows and shooting poisonous spikes that paralysed their prey long enough for them to eat them. They were very dangerous beasts and not many would go near them.

"My…" Olivander regained his voice "that…is a very unique wand" He was about to wave it when Harry interrupted

"It's also blood keyed to me, meaning only I can use it. If I may?" Harry gestured to his wand, Olivander handed it back. Harry waved his wand and a flock of birds flew out and flew around the room, one of them even pooped on Dumbledore's shoulder before Harry vanished them.

"Thank you Olivander" Dumbledore said, not completely over the shock. Olivander left then Ludo Bagman approached the Potters as they made to leave

"Uh boys, before you leave, we need you to take pictures for the daily prophet and do a small interview"

"I don't know about small" Rita smiled sweetly as she came over, she introduced herself to the Potters "Rita Skeeter, Daily Prophet"

"Good for you" Harry replied "me and my brother will not be giving you an interview"

"Why not?" Rita smiled and took a step closer "Something to hide?"

"You will not have interviews with us unless our parents are present" Harry responded

"Are you sure Mr Potter? It's my job to inform the readers, and they deserve to know. Do you have something to hide?"

"As a matter of fact I do" Harry replied, he leaned in closer and whispered into Rita's ear "I know that while you're an unregistered bitch, you're also an unregistered animagus." Rita paled as Harry leaned back "Bug me or my family again and there will be hell to pay. Anything to add little brother?"

"Uh…not really" Adrian replied

"Let's go then" Harry said and the two brothers walked out, leaving behind a confused room and a shaking Rita Skeeter.

"What about the photos?" Ludo called after they had left.
