Welcome to my new story Harry Potter and Time Reversed! This will be a Harry Potter time travel story. It will also be another Dumbledore Bashing story. This is a Reptillia28's 'Don't Fear the Reaper' challenge.
Challenge
Harry is killed at 17 during a fight with Voldemort. He's sent to his Death's office (explained later) and finds out that this isn't the first time that this has happened.
Harry's Death (who can have a human name) is mad at his arrival. Apparently, people dying before their time is a black mark on the various Deaths' records, and Harry is getting perilously close to getting this particular one fired.
When Harry asks what was supposed to have happened, Death goes off on a rant saying how he was supposed to have killed Voldemort, found his soulmate ("Some Granger girl...") and lived to be a centennial age. But since Harry keeps getting into life-threatening situations for one reason or another, he keeps dying before that happens. Harry is surprised about the soulmate part.
Death gives Harry a paper to sign that allows him to retain his memories (the previous times, he wasn't given this option for some reason). Harry is deposited to a previous time of the writer's choosing.
Eventually, Harry gets it right. He kills Voldemort, gets the girl, and lives to a ripe old age of whatever. And Death doesn't get fired.
Requirements:
Harry has to have died at least three times before this one.
The memory keeping contract must be included.
Death must refer to Hermione as "some Granger girl" when Harry's soulmate turns up in his rant.
Obviously, must be H/Hr.
Have fun.
Optional:
Dumbledore's manipulations can be a factor in Harry's premature demises.
He will be soul-bonded with someone else (authors choice)
I do not own Harry Potter or the Potterverse!

Chapter 1: Don't Fear The Reaper
Ministry of Death: Entry Room
Harry wakes up screaming, looking around wildly, finally stopping and catches his breath. He is sitting on a couch and appears to be in an office lobby, and he is not alone. Sitting on either side of him are Fred Weasley and Dobby the house-elf. He wraps Dobby in a bear hug and starts to cry. He lets go of Dobby and turns to Fred and hugs him too while still crying.
"What is going on here? The last time I remember is facing Voldemort and being hit by the Killing Curse," Harry said in disbelief.
"Harry, I wish I could answer that question, but I have no clue," Fred said, "But hopefully someone will soon answer that question for all of us." Harry turned to Dobby to ask him a question but then a woman with a clipboard walked through a door. She was looking down at what was written on the paperwork and started to speak and looked up and flinched when she saw who was sitting in the office.
She recovered quickly and asked for Harry and Dobby to follow her. Harry and Dobby jumped up and started to follow her, but Harry turned around and spoke to Fred. "Fred, I am sorry that you lost your life because I was to weak," Harry mumbled. Fred chuckled and answered, "Harry, please do not blame yourself. I might be young, but I am ready for my "Next Great Adventure", so please go on and I will hopefully see you again soon."
Harry turned and walked out of the office, after a little while Fred smiled and disappeared.

Ministry of Death: Death's Office
Death sat back in his chair waiting for his next appointment to arrive. He hoped that it wasn't Harry Potter again. Harry had been in his office 11 times before now. This would be the 12th time and if it was Harry again then Death would be nearly out of options. The Goddess of Magic had told Death if Harry came back then they would have to go with Plan 66. As Death was thinking he heard the door of his office and he turned around his chair around and what would have been a heart dropped when Harry walked into his office.
"What are you doing here again?" Death screamed at Harry. Harry looked back at Death and was struck dumb. Death told Harry and Dobby to sit. Harry slowly asked what the man was talking about. "You have been here twelve times and we are out of options. You only get thirteen times before your spirit is destroyed and I get fired. I am the 150th Death that oversaw Europe and I don't want to fired. This job is the best!" the man continued.
"I have been killed twelve times before?" Harry asked. Death nodded and pulled out a folder from his desk and started to read off the times he had been killed. "Let's see here...first time you were four and your cousin pushed you down the steps in your house and you broke you neck. The second time was when you went after that Granger girl, oh that reminds me of something, but I will get to that later, and you were crushed by the troll. The third time was when Quirrell cursed your broom and you couldn't hold on to your broom and you fell to your death. The fourth time was after Dobby visited and after your uncle locked you into the room, the Weasley's came to rescue you and as your uncle tried to keep you from leaving you fell from the car and died. The fifth time was when you went after Ginny and the basilisk killed you with its glaze. The sixth time was on the Hogwarts Express when the Dementor sucked your soul out of your body. That caused a lot of paperwork to get your soul free from the dimension that souls go to after that. The seventh time was during the Quidditch World Cup when you were struck by a stray killing curse. The rest of that year was surprisingly good until the eight time during the Third Task when you tried to escape the graveyard and you were bitten by Nagini. The ninth time was during the Battle of the Ministry the spell that killed your godfather was meant for you and it connected. The tenth time was when you went to the house that Slughorn was staying at and death eaters attacked, and you were killed. The eleventh time was at the cave with Dumbledore and the Inferi dragged you down into the water and drowned," Death told Harry. Death continued to tell him that his destiny was to kill off the Dark Lord, get the girl, which they were going to talk about in a bit, and live until he was 350 years old.
All that Harry had been told was too much to take in. He leaned his head back and closed his eyes. After a few minutes Harry opened his eyes and look at Death. He asked what would happen now. Death pulled a piece of paper out of the folder and told him that Harry had one more try, and he would be sent back to the beginning of his second year with all his memories. Death also stated that he would be sending Dobby back with him with all his memories too. Death told him that when Harry got back that he would need to go to the Goblins and ask them to help Harry track down and destroy the Horcruxes. Harry would also need to also have them preform a inheritance test.
Harry was confused about going to the goblins and asked Death what he meant. Death started to laugh and told him that the goblins are masters at dealing with them. Harry nodded and asked if he could go to Dumbledore and ask him for help to. Death's face turned red and he screamed at Harry to not trust Dumbledore or the Weasleys. Dumbledore had caused nearly all Harry's problem and Molly Weasley potioned Harry to fall in love with Ginny. Harry would also need to break off his friendship with Ronald Weasley also for his best interest and that Ron had never been Harry's best friend and had spied on Harry for Dumbledore.
Death also told Harry to make sure that he got Sirius a trial. To have the ministry to have Order 45 rescinded and finally have them ask "former" Death Eaters if they were forced to take the Dark Mark or if they willingly took it. Death then hinted about a cure for Lupins "furry little problem". Death told Harry that he couldn't tell him everything and that Harry would have to work it out on his own.
Death grabbed a pen from his desk and handed it to Harry and told him to sign and after that was done Harry would be transported back in time. Harry took the pen and was about to sign but stop. He asked Death what he meant about "that Granger girl".
Death cursed loudly and thanked Harry for reminding him. Death pulled another piece of paper and handed it to Harry. Harry took it and read it and was shocked. It was a marriage license between Harry, Hermione and Daphne Greengrass. Harry looked at Death and asked him what this meant.
Death laughed and told Harry that he was soul-bonded with the two girls. They would not get their memories back until Harry kissed them and sealed the bond. Harry looked down at the contact and signed it. Death nodded and snapped his fingers and the room descended into darkness.

Harry's Room: Back In The Past
When Harry's sight returned, he looked around and saw that he was about to walk into his room. Heard voices downstairs and realized that he had returned to the night that Dobby had shown up. He opened his door and standing in his room was Dobby. Harry quickly entered his room and closed the door. He ran up to Dobby and picked his up in a bear hug again. He put Dobby down and asked him what they should do. Should they wait until tomorrow to leave or should they leave now.
Dobby thought for a minute and told Harry that they should leave now. Dobby then told Harry that they should do a Master-Elf bond before they leave, or the Malfoys would be able to force him to rebound to them. Harry told Dobby that he didn't want to force him to be a slave again. Dobby told him that ever since that he was freed, he wanted to be Harry Potters personal house-elf. Harry nodded and told Dobby that he would bond with him.
Dobby asked him for his hand and muttered several strange words and a silver glow erupted from Dobby and flowed into Harry. After a few minutes the glow went away, and Dobby jumped for joy. He whipped around and snapped his fingers then disappeared. A second later he was back with all of Harry's school equipment. Dobby snapped his fingers again and Hedwig's cage opened and she flew out and landed on Harry's shoulder.
Harry had been so shocked from everything that he didn't think of Hedwig and started to cry. Hedwig suddenly flew from his shoulder and stopped midflight in the middle of the room and erupted in a shower of snow. The snow dissipated and a new strange bird appeared where Hedwig had been. The bird flew back onto Harry's shoulder and before he could react a letter appeared in his hands. He read the letter and was shocked.
"Dear Harry,
I have decided to give you a gift to help you through your trials. I have changed you owl Hedwig into a snow phoenix. She can take you anywhere that you want to go. She will be able to save you from danger if you run into it. Love her with all your might because we don't do this for just anyone.
DON'T SCREW UP, Death."
This was too much for Harry and he sat down on his bed with a loud thud. The voices that had been coming from downstairs stopped and he heard his uncle coming upstairs. Harry looked at Dobby with fear on his face and Dobby snapped is fingers and Harry's stuff disappeared. Harry was then pelted with a shocking amount of cold as he was whisked away by Hedwig. As soon as Dobby was gone Uncle Vernon walked into the room and was shocked to see Harry disappear in a shower of snow. Uncle Vernon was so shocked and happy that the freak was gone he simply closed the door and went back downstairs.

Gringotts: Lobby
As soon as the coldness had started it suddenly stopped. Harry was about to look around when he felt a spear tip pointed at his neck. Harry's attention focused on a goblin guard in full war armor holding the spear. Harry was to shocked to talk when a voice shouted out to the guards to put down the weapons and that it was okay that he was there.
The guard lowered his spear and Harry looked to where the voice had come from and a very old goblin walked into the room. "If you wanted to draw some money from Gringotts, then you should have walked through the front doors, Mr. Potter," the goblin said, "I am the Director of this branch and my name is Ragnarök."
Harry apologized to the director and told him that he had planned on coming in the morning, but his phoenix Hedwig had other plans. The director chuckled and told Harry it was okay and to follow him. Ragnarök led Harry through a door deeper into the bank until they came to an office door and they walked in. The director walked over to a desk and sat down in a chair behind it and motioned Harry to sit in a chair opposite him.
Ragnarök asked Harry if he wanted something to eat or drink and Harry declined feeling embarrassed and out of his comfort zone. The director asked Harry what he needed from Gringotts and Harry told the goblin that he needed to get a inheritance test. The goblin nodded and pushed a rune on the desk and another younger goblin entered. Ragnarök barked at the goblin something in their language and the goblin left.
"As we wait, I have some questions for you, we have needed to talk to you since you were ten years old. Why have you not responded to our owls? At ten years old you should have asked to read your parents will and take the inheritance test. We have also noticed several troubling things about your vault and properties. Haven't you gotten the invoices from us?" the goblin asked.
Harry said no and told the director that he didn't get any letters and that he had only learned that he was a wizard last year. The director cursed and told Harry once they have the inheritance test they would go over everything. A second later the other goblin walked in with a goblet, a knife and a vial of potion.
The goblin laid the things on the desk and quickly left. Ragnarök drew a piece of parchment out of his desk and asked Harry if he was ready. Harry nodded and asked what they would need to do. "First, I will need a few drops of blood from your finger, don't worry the cut will instantly heal, the knife is a special blood knife that is very heavily regulated," Ragnarök said.
Harry remembering about the quills Umbridge used and asked about them. Ragnarök turned a startling shade of red and demanded where Harry had heard of them. Harry to the director that had heard a rumor about them somewhere. The director said that they would investigate. The director continued to tell Harry about the test, "Anyway, after I take the blood I will pour in this potion and cast a spell."
Ragnarök placed the goblet near Harry and asked for him to hold his hand over it. Harry did as he was told, and the director grabbed his hand and swiftly nicked Harry's hand. After a few drops of blood had fallen into the goblet Ragnarök released his hand and the cut healed. Ragnarök picked up the goblet, added the potion and cast a spell. He then poured the contents of the goblet onto the parchment and let it dry. After it had dried, he picks up the parchment and read silently.
Ragnarök couldn't believe what he saw. Harry Potter was the heir of several big time Ancient and Noble Houses and even the big four. After a minute he past the parchment to Harry and he shouted. After he shouted a armed guard ran into the room but quickly left after Ragnarök barked at him to leave. Harry couldn't believe what he read.

Harry couldn't believe his eyes from what he read. He looked at Ragnarök to stunned to speak. Ragnarök chuckled and told Harry he was as shocked as he was. He had never seen a person be the heir of several houses at once. Maybe one or two but never six and because Harry was the last of the line, he could take his lordship. Harry nearly nodded his head unable to speak.
Ragnarök also told him that he would need to appoint a proxy for the Potter seat on the Wizengamot but not the Hogwarts founders because they created the Ministry. Harry asked about the Peverell seat and Ragnarök chuckled and told Harry that at this time there might be four Hogwarts houses but until 250 years ago there use to be FIVE houses.
