Chapter 1: What's going on!?

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters or the concept of Harry Potter, they all belong to J.K. Rowling.

Afternoon at Hogwarts, students were moving through the halls getting to their classes, while some were already in their classrooms. Some students had free period, which means they choose what to do with it. Some, like a certain Gryffindor, was having his afternoon class learning potions. As much as he does not want to be here at the moment, Harry Potter has no choice but to attend, or else he will get a good scolding from Professor Snape. Harry was in the middle table next to Ron, near the aisle. But instead of paying attention, Harry was too busy drawing and daydreaming as Professor Snape went on and on over this week's potion activity. His day dreaming however did not go unnoticed by the potion's professor, who went towards him and slammed his book on his table. The action startled the young Potter, which snapped him out of his daydream.

"Mr. Potter… I do hope you were paying attention to majority of what I said…" Professor Snape said. Harry nodded hesitantly.

"Then tell me what was the last thing I said…" Professor Snape asked. Harry was now looking down at his paper then back up at him and muttered nervously.

"... I… I don't remember, Sir…" Harry said. Professor Snape then turned his back on him and walked up to the front of the class.

"Pity… Well then Mr. Potter, I believe punishment is required in this situation… Detention later tonight, you will be restocking the potion's closet and cleaning vials" Professor Snape said. Harry sighed annoyingly and could here the Slytherin's snicker at him, particularly, Draco Malfoy's.

"... Of course Sir…" Harry respond to him. After that, Professor Snape continued his lecture. After the potion's activity, the class was soon dismissed and Harry told Ron and Hermione, who was behind them the entire class, that he would be heading to Hagrid's hut to asking something. The two nodded and went on ahead to the library to get some homework done, mostly Hermione, Ron would just sleep next to her.

Harry soon exited the Potion's classroom and walked down the hallways to head for the Black Lake. He lied when he said he would head to Hagrid's hut. He was actually heading to the Black Lake for some peace and quiet before his next class which was Charms with Professor Flitwick. Harry continued on his way to the lake, when he suddenly bumped into someone. He looked to see who he ran into and was met with long curly blond hair and grey blue eyes.

"Hello Harry" The person he bumped into spoke. She was in her Ravenclaw uniform and he actually saw her wearing black shoes now.

"Hello Luna, I see you've finally found your shoes" Harry said and pointed out. Luna looked down at her shoes and smiles.

"Yes, but I still have yet to find more of my missing items… Also have you seen some Nargles lurking about? Cause I heard Fred and George saying they will be hanging a few charmed mistletoes around. I don't find it funny though…" Luna stated. Harry smiled and shook his head.

"No I haven't, but I'll keep my eye out for them, and your stuff" He said. Luna smiled and nodded.

"Thank you Harry, well I'd better be going now" Luna waved his hand goodbye and walked off. Harry watched her leave and continued on to the Black lake but was soon stopped by another scenario. He saw a couple of Slytherins picking on Hannah Abbott, a Hufflepuff in his year. He saw them taking her books and pushing her around. Harry then walked up to them and grabbed Hannah's books.

"Hey! Quit picking on her!" Harry said. The Slytherins just smirked and walked off, shoving Harry on the shoulders as he left. Harry glared at them and helped Hannah with her books. Hannah help herself as well and smiled at Harry.

"Thank you Harry, those Slytherins have been picking on me since first year…" Hannah explained.

"Well you could have told someone about them… or your head of house" Harry suggested. She shook her head and looked at him.

"Professor Sprout has enough on her mind as it is with her plants and all that… Also I do not want to be a worry to anyone" Hannah said.

"You aren't, Hannah, next time if those Slytherins bother you, you can come to me and I will help get them sort out" Harry said. Hannah smiled and nodded at him.

"I will, thank you again Harry" Hannah said and nodded at him as she walked off to her class. He smiled at her retreating form and continued on his way to the Black Lake.

Harry soon reached the Black Lake, finally making it after a long walk from the Potion's classroom. For now he did not want to talk about potions, he needed a place to think. So he sat down and rested his back on the tree behind him. He was facing the Black Lake, looking up at the sky and watching the owls and other birds pass by him. He was now in his 5th year, he thought, and a lot of things has happened to him before that. After the events of the Triwizard Tournament, Harry could comprehend the lost of a fellow competitor and classmate, Cedric Diggory. The poor Hufflepuff did not have to get involved in all of this, it was his fault that it had happened that way and he felt so much guilt and regret during his burial ceremony. Harry closed his eyes and tried to rid the negative thoughts he had felt. Soon he started to hear some noises behind the tree. Loud shouting noises.

"GRYFFINDOR YOU IDIOT!" Harry jumped at the shout and turned around but was hiding behind the tree. Harry's eyes widened to see four figures that he has never seen before in the grounds of Hogwarts.

The first was a lady in a yellow dress, she was a somewhat plump figure but she had a pretty face. She had curly blondish hair and pale skin. The lady next to her was intimidating but attractive, who wore a beautiful blue gown and had a tiara on her head. She had fair skin and long wavy black hair up to her waist. The man that yelled wore dark green robes and had long black hair but it was tied and was resting on his shoulder. He had a black goatee and mustache. The man that he was yelling at had long brownish red hair and was muscular than the man in green. He had a long beard of the same color as his hair and mustache. From what Harry can tell they wore clothes that was not from this era, but around the medieval ages, or from what Hermione has told him. Harry continued to keep quiet and listened in on what the four were saying.

"It was not my fault that you weren't letting me see it! If you'd let me hold the thing then we wouldn't be in here" The red haired man yelled back at him.

"Even if Salazar let you hold and see the thing, we would still be in the same mess as we are now…" The fair lady in blue said.

"Where are we exactly…?" The lady in yellow asked the three. The three then started to look around and the man in green looked up towards the castle.

"It seems we are still in Hogwarts… Does that mean this thing does not work?" He asked. The man then held up the thing that brought them here, which Harry recognized as a time-turner, similar to what Hermione had.

"No… Look at the students…" The lady in blue pointed to a few Hogwarts students walking in the castle. The four noticed that the uniforms that they were wearing were not the uniforms that they had.

"So… It did work…" The man in red stated and looked at the time turner.

"But what year did that thing takes us in? How far into the future have we gone?" The lady in yellow ask. Harry tried to find a way out of the place he was in and backed up a little. He then accidentally stepped on a twig branch which caused the four to react. The man in read soon pulled out his sword, which happened to be the sword of Gryffindor.

"Who's there!?" He yelled. With no hope of hiding anymore, Harry stepped out to reveal himself, which shocked the four.

"Who are you young man?" The man in green asked. Harry gulped in worry and responded to them.

"I'm Harry Potter, sir… I'm a student of Hogwarts" He responded.

"What house are you in?" The yellow lady asked.

"Gryffindor, ma'am" With that said, the man in red smiled and wielded his sword back into his holster. The man walked up to Harry and patted his back.

"Well then young man! Any student of Gryffindor is a student of mine" Harry was still a little shocked and scared of what was going on and backed away from the man.

"Wait! Before I answer anymore questions, I would like to ask a few of my own… Who are you people?" Harry asked. The four looked at each other and then back at him. The man in red spoke first.

"I'm Godric Gryffindor!" Harry nodded in understanding of his reaction and then looked at the lady in yellow.

"I'm Helga Hufflepuff" He then looked at the lady in blue.

"I'm Rowena Ravenclaw" And lastly, he looked at the man in green.

"And I'm Salazar Slytherin…" Harry's eyes widened but nodded at him. Harry then thought of what they just said and came to a realization.

"You're the founders of Hogwarts…" Harry said. The four nodded and smiled at him, more so from Helga and Godric than from Salazar and Rowena.

"Yes, now we would like to ask what year it is here?" Rowena asked him.

"It's 1996…" He replied. Helga gasped and looked at her companions.

"It's been a thousand years or so…" Helga realized. The others nodded in agreement and looked at Harry.

"Yes… But why are you here?" Harry asked again.

"Well it is kind of a long story… Gryffindor here was rummaging through my things when he suddenly stumbled upon my time turner. I told him it was not a toy to be playing with but continued to toy with it anyway. I tried to take it back from him but the turner started to spin. Soon Rowena and Helga came in just in time for the time turner to send us back all the way here." Salazar explained. Harry turned to he an annoyed looking Godric.

"You could have told me earlier that it was not to be toyed with" With that, Salazar faced-palm at his reply.

"I've told you that 4 times!" Salazar yelled. The two ladies giggled at their counterparts reaction. Harry tried to hide his chuckle but then shook it off and asked.

"So how will you be getting back?" Salazar held up the time turned and noticed it to have little cracks on it. Soon the glass of the time turner broken and the three turned to glare at Godric.

"I may have held it on too much… Which may have broken it…" Godric chuckled nervously which received a groan from each of the founders. Harry looked at the time turner and suggested.

"Why don't we ask Professor Dumbledore if he can help you, he's the current headmaster of the school and he would be happy to help" Harry said and started to make his way up the school, before being held back by Helga

"No Harry! We must not interfere with the timeline… Talking to you might already be disturbing it but having you know about our presence is help enough… We need to find another way to get back…" Helga said.

"Helga is right, we must not disturbed this time period… We need to find another way" Rowena said

"I'm sure you can think of something in that pretty little head of yours, Rowena" Salazar smirked. Rowena blushed at calling her pretty, which made Godric chuckle and Helga roll her eyes. Harry looked at the four of them and nodded.

"Very well then… I won't tell the professor… But I will help you in getting back to you're time period… Since I already know you're here, I might as well help…" Harry suggested. Godric smiled and patted his back yet again.

"Thank you young man! A Gryffindor always helps those in need" Godric exclaimed. The four sighed at his reaction and Harry just smiled.

"Right, well then Harry, I hope you know where we can get another time turner…" Rowena asked. He thought about it and then nodded to her.

"Yes, ma'am, my friend Hermione happens to own one, it was given to her by Professor Mcgonagall, the Head of House for Gryffindor. I just hope she still has it… " Harry explained. The four nodded and started to make there way up to the school. Harry followed behind, he sighed and thought to himself.

"I hope I know what I'm doing…"
