It Took Me By Surprise

Summary:

Now he's afraid of me.
He's afraid of me.
It took me by surprise, the hatred in his eyes
I've pushed this man as far as he could go
But he lacked the words to let me know

Notes:

Warning
Hello everyone. Welcome to It Took Me By Surprise
As always please remember I'm very dyslexic. So things might not be spelt right and grammar might be horrible.
This fic does include OC's and doesn't fully follow canon. So, if you don't like that, don't read. Not all the characters belong to me. The canon characters belong to she who must not be named (i do not believe her beliefs and I am a trans man myself. But the harry potter universe, especially my OCs and the marauders, comfort me). Some of the OCs belong to my friends They sadly don't have AO3 accounts (well only Cassie's owner does) but their Wattpad accounts are:

This story takes place in the same universe as:
○ The son of Apollo and his boyfriends

So, you might want to read those as well.
Triggers:
○ Murder
○ sexism
○ 70’s shit
○ Death
○ underage drinking
○ I probably forgot some

Now have fun with this story.

P.S: This story could be really crap. I lost motivation in it very quickly. I just forced myself to continue for my friends who wanted to read it.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

“Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Ginny and Neville had disappeared a bit ago. Draco, Cassie and Apollo had teamed up to fight against death eaters after Draco stole his wand back from Harry in the room of requirements. The three were fighting the high-ranking death eaters. Well not the really high up ones because Severus and Bellatrix were already dead. But you know what I mean. ‘My traitors of children think they can defeat my death eaters. Oh, and they have usless’s child with them. How great,’ said a wicked voice.”

In the middle of England, there was a beautiful house made for a family of five. The house looked like an ordinary house with a red brick door and several windows. The family that lived inside was anything but ordinary. The family of five were magical. In fact, all the members of the family were magical. All the members of this family were witches and wizard. All 5 members of this family had attended or are still attending Hogwarts school was witchcraft and Wizardry. All except one of the members of this family had been sorted into Gryffindor, the final member had been sorted into Slytherin. But this magical family didn’t care about that anymore.

“The trio turned around to see Voldemort and their grips tighten on their wands. Suddenly Voldemort started shooting spells at the trio, so they worked together the fight back.  ‘Apollo move number 3!’ Draco yelled. Suddenly Voldemort sent a blinding light at Cassie, but Cassie didn’t notice. Apollo did. Apollo quickly jumped in front of Cassie and got hit with the spell. He fell to the floor.  ‘Apollo …... Apollo!’ was screamed by Cassie”

In the living room of this magical home sat the three children of this magical family, two of their cousins once removed and their father’s estranged aunt. The living room looked like the Gryffindor lion had thrown up all over it. The carpet was red. The wallpaper was red and gold. The sofa was dark red. It was a lot and it was clearly making the Slytherin child feel very sick. Sat on the sofa were the three children of the family home. On the left hand of the sofa was the first-born child, a son called James Sirius Potter. James had flaming red hair and grey eyes. He was wearing a Quidditch jumper and a pair of blue jeans. He was 16 years old. At the right side of the sofa sat the middle child, a boy called Albus Severus Potter. The boy had messy raven black hair and bright green eyes. He was wearing black cargo pants, with a sliver chain, a black tank top and checked flannel. The 14-year-old was the Slytherin of the family. In the middle of the two boys sat the youngest child, a daughter called Lily Luna Potter. Lily was a beautiful young girl with dark red hair and Amber eyes. The 12-year-old was wearing a lovely yellow sunflower dress. Sat on the floor in front of the sofa were the two cousins.  The cousins were a pair of boy girl twins, both aged 18 years old. The boy was tall and thin with brown hair pulled into a ponytail. His name was Monty James Potter-Weasley.  He was wearing jeans and a red top that isn’t quite a crop top but when stretching it looks like it is. His sister had large brown eyes, a round face and red hair. Her name was Aria Dora Potter-Weasley. She was wearing a floral spaghetti strap dress with a white T-shirt underneath.

“Voldemort laughed and disappeared. Cassie collapses onto her knees crying. Draco kneeled next to Apollo and holds him close. Apollo laughs slightly ‘we should have fucked, Draco.’  He whispered out ‘p-promise to look after my sister Draco.’ Draco nods ‘i-i will’ Apollo slowly closes his eyes ‘i-i love you both so much’ He managed to whisper out. ‘NOOO APOLLO! YOU CAN’T LEAVE ME! I’M YOUR SISTER, YOU CAN’T LEAVE ME!’ Cassie screamed but it was too late”

Across from the 5 children, in the armchair, was the estranged aunt of the three children’s father. The woman had long blonde hair that went down to her hips (but you could see her black roots coming in) and brown eyes. She was wearing a black tank top, ripped blue jeans and a black leather jacket. Her name was Joy Euphemia Potter. Joy was currently telling the children a tale about a boy called Apollo Slytherin. A tale that was definitely not suitable for a 12 and 14-year-old.

“Apollo stopped breathing.  His heart stops beating. He was dead. THE END!”

As Joy finished the tale, the five kids stared at their aunt with shock. The room was silent for a few seconds. “So now you know the story of the son of Voldemort and his boyfriends and now you can nag Harry all about him” Joy said smiling. That got the kids talking. They were asking a million questions a second. Joy just laughed, listening to them.

“Dad’s Bi and had two boyfriends! And Albus can’t even get Scorpius to date him!”

“Shut up, James. Did dad really try and kill one of his boyfriends for having the mark and broke up with the other?”

“That poor boy...... why does dad never talk about him?”

“Blue hair? Sounds cool. I might dye my hair.”

“I think I saw a picture of him in uncle Harry’s wallet:

“I'm surprised none of us are named after him. Apollo is way better that Albus”

“Shut up James! Voldy killed his own son in front of his daughter and Scorpius's dad. Wow”

“Apollo, Dad and Mr Malfoy sound so cute together. But did Apollo date Cedric or were they just doing stuff that dad said none of us could do until we are 20-odd?”

“I bet they were just doing 18 plus stuff”

“probably. I can’t believe that no noise guy had a kid

“Hey, Al. Dad dated the father of your crush!”

“Eww gross!”

Joy’s laughter increased when Harry James potter walked in with a scowl on his face. He had heard all the questions from his office and quickly realised what was going on. He raced to the living room to try and stop any more embarrassment, but he was too late. The look on his aunt’s face told him that she has told them everything. “What did I say about telling them about Apollo, Aunt Joy” Harry said glaring at his aunt as she stopped laughing. “They called me wanting to hear a story and I had nothing to do today as my therapy had been cancelled so I came over and told them the juiciest story I had.” Joy answered, shrugging like it was nothing. “But why that story and why in that much detail?” Harry asked. “I had already told them the story about Seran and her whole thing. Catrina already bet me in telling them her and Max’s story. And I refuse to talk about that Mellow guy from Hailey’s class. I should have killed that bloody death eater ages ago. So, I just had to tell them the story of the blue haired boy” Joy said. “Then I guess you will no longer be telling the children any more stories” as his three children started to complain, Harry turned and left the room. Joy just smirked. “I have one more story to tell you. And he can’t stop me. Do you wanna here my story?” Joy asked. The kids all shouted yes at once while Monty muttered “only if you want to. Its not like I actually want to hear another story”, so Joy began the story.

“Once upon a time, there were a pair of twins. They were born on the 27th March 1960. These twins did everything together growing up. No one could split them apart. They were each other's best friends. But everything changed when they turned old enough to go to Hogwarts. The twins were James and Joy Potter”
