Chapter One

The repeat

A/N

This one of my first fanfics, just trying something new, will probably be terrible as usual.This story is based on the fact if harry went back in time(I know these are done WAY too much but hey I can write whatever I want). This is an overpowered Harry who accidentally travels back in time, Voldemort is also much more powerful. By the way I don't like Ron so some Ron bashing and Dumbledore Bashing

pairings would probably H/Hr.Harry and Ginny just never made much sense, Who would date someone who looks like their mother?Cmon JkR, well she is a million times better writer so I can't complain

I DON'T own Harry Potter, I would like to.. but I don't.

It was his 42nd Birthday party, just a small group of intimate friends had joined him, but after several small hints they soon departed leaving him be.

How he liked it. The man who lived stood over the Hogwarts castle in the astronomy tower, remembering his school memories.How long ago that was he thought. All his childhood memories with his three best friends, The soft moonlight lightened up the immediate area around him, astronomy was never his favourite subject. Scratch that, up there with History by professor binns it was his worst. After the war, thousands of job offers came up, even the minister of magic but he rejected them all. He never wanted to go into politics and its pure blood bigotry. After the years it had died down to a tolerable level for muggleborns and muggles. All courtesy of him and her Hermione of course.

It was actually all Hermione.

After the war, the magical and mundane parts of Britain were falling apart, even Voldemort's fall had not stopped the attacks from Death eaters and trolls and giants alike. The people who hoped that the end of You-Know-Who would stop the attack's were very wrong,all the death and suffering that occurred. Many muggles and magical alike soon perished at the death eaters hand, the ministry soon susceptible to its will.

Many perished including his his most closest friends such as Ginny.Their relationship failed and gave it up after the Battle of Hogwarts but were still as close as t hey could be.They five (including Neville) fought side by side for the years to come, facing armies of all the evil in the world.

They trained intensely, practicing against enemies and each other alike, reading every book that came to mind. All the books in his vaults were soon ravished of their complex spells, They all soon became much more powerful than any could imagine, surpassing even Dumbledore and Voldermort in their combat abilities. They trained in agility as well, coming much more handy for dodging spells than any protego which needed time and magic from their core to sustain for a long time.Harry though, had prodigal abilities even at their levels, climbing after the years.

He soon learned many arts such as windless magic which was basically magic without a wand at its purest form where it was much more powerful but needed more magical energy. Wands took magic and forced it out on the other side while magic should roam free rather than use it by force. He was also extremely accomplished in both Occlumency and Legilimency. He found out more about blood magic and necromancy as even though they were considered dark he still learnt it.

Harry had never measured but he thought he was around 1500 on Merlin's power scale.In comparison the average witch or wizard was around 300-400 and dumbledore and Voldemort at 1000.

The standings followed on Merlins scale

Muggle=0.

Squib=0. (Filch)

Weak witch or wizard= 150-200. (Peter pettigrew)

Average witch or wizard=300-400. (Cornelius Fudge)

Powerful witch or wizard=700-800. (Amelia Bones, Rufus scrimeagour) etc

Prodigal wizard or witch = 900-1100. (Voldemort, Dumbledore and hermione)etc

World wizard or with=1400-1600. ( strongest wizard in its generation)

The True witch or wizard=2000. (The strongest wizard ever, none had ever been recorded in time)

Soon though, their numbers were peeling off, despite their immense abilities strengths in numbers was also true. 6 months after the battle of Hogwarts Neville was murdered by one in the crowd.Harry had became true friends with Neville after Hogwarts, even closer than Ron after a while who soon became a true idiot. Having each other's back in the war helped as well. Him and Hermione had became the new golden trio as they faced many hardships together and he soon came to trust Neville with his life. Their friendship had been forged by the crucible of war and would often take late at night about their lives and secrets. He was kind and thoughtful about others, often sacrificing his happiness or well being for theirs.

Gone were the days of the nervous Neville he once was and became a man of strength and Wisdom. He was also kinda handsome, both had accustomed to the usual battle scar after their many ambushes and fights they had. He and Neville fought like a team, much like gred and forge in their speech their spells were conducted in a similar manner. He had once called him a brother in all but blood, he swelled with pride after this and he and Harry soon had a quick hug at the prospect of this.

At his death, Harry felt his true powers come into play as he went into a rage at his death, half the country had been destroyed and Harry had made an ancient tornado made of pure raw magic. The army was obliterated in seconds and only his friends and the broken body of Neville remained on the battlefield. Many were stunned by this unseen magic but Harry couldn't have cared less, he had lost a member of the family. After his parents,Sirius Cedric, Ginny and many more than he could count had died because of him.

Soon after this, harry let our pure radiant magic and soon destroyed the remnants of the remaining followers, some wondered as to if he were the next dark lord.If that were true, The world would be at its knees. Harry had became ruthless after this, he frequently used the killing curse at those that he felt deserved it. He felt that the world had taken too much from him, suffering for those with no help.

Only hermione's touch could ever have stopped his rage.

Hermione and her relationship with Ron fell apart, except for harry they had nothing in common.Harry still acknowledged that they gave it a go but it soon fell apart with their constant bickering.Ron kept disrespecting hermione and her beliefs, feeling elves should not receive pay and much more.

How stupid could Ron be?!?!

He had such a wonderful girlfriend with the purest of heart and touch and he threw her away like butter. After a fight harsh, on even their standards about the importance of muggles, they broke up, Hermione abandoned dating and soon fell in love with her career. Ron had enjoyed the glory and the spotlight after the war.

Often going to social parties and interviews and saying He had saved the wizarding world, as in reality he had abandoned them for the food of his mother gave them. Even in the "horcrux hunt" the food hermione made with Harry was soon eaten by him.Rarely getting any of it to themselves, even then he complained of how little food they got and how much of a waste of time the hunt was and soon left in anger with the horcrux.

After this, Hermione broke and sobbed in the night when no one could hear her, she sometimes invited Harry into his bed in a completely platonic way. Enjoying the comfort and warmth he offered her, Harry wished that Hermione would ever acknowledge his feelings for her. Her happiness was all that mattered to him and… if that was with Ron then so be it.

He enjoyed the smile she gave him when he entered the room, she was the only person that stood by him when he most needed it and they would sacrifice their lives for each other.He thought of her often when alone and enjoyed himself with her company. Love that had dwelled in his heart for years now, never letting go to the feelings he held for her. She never once acknowledged if she ever had any feelings for him, so he buried it away and hoped it would one day would go away.At his 42nd year of age he was still waiting for that moment. Her sweet aroma that surrounded her and the softness he felt when he touched her.

If things were different, then maybe they could've been together, but alas time travel is impossible. One could dream.

At the battle of Hogwarts, soon after her and Ron came out of Hogwarts and they had kissed in the chamber,in the midst of the battle he could see them holding hands, not much but it still inferred of their impending relationship.

Harry didn't want to be selfish per se, but it was all the push that he needed as he met Voldemort in the forbidden forest and gave himself up.

Staring at the face of death.

After the last remnants of the war finished she progressed through the broken Ministry as quick as they come with relative ease and was soon up their for the minister.She probably would have got it too.

Then came the events of 6th July 2008.

She was driving home after a hard day at the ministry, campaigning and fighting for elf and goblin rights.It was a dark day on the winter solstice, when a man was drunk driving and hit her car, she died instantly.The great Hermione Granger, fighter for the rights of humans and animals alike. One of the most powerful witches in her time, to die at the hands of a man who had done nothing in his life. To mentally punch Harry in the face, the man had survived with only minor injuries.

Even months after, harry could be seen drunk with bottles of fire whisky in each hand, and by the dozen, the bins crept up and each night was remembering small facts that would've been unnoticeable to most but he still remembered them. Each day passing away from the world, Hermione would have wanted him to live and forget but he couldn't. Even Ron. Her past friend and lover stopped caring after a while.

But not Harry. He still remembered with each beat of his heart.

Part of him had died with her in those fleeting moment of her life.

A few decades had past and he was under the rule of Hogwarts,in respect to Hermione who her best years were spent here dedicated it to be the place of great friendship and learning it once was.How she had wanted it to be. The term had past away and records had been beaten, Slytherin had won again. No one had seemed to mind, House divide was a thing of the past and sitting in other tables were even encouraged, the hall tables were a flock of the flour colors intertwining which gave harry many chuckles trying to pick students from a crowd.

After the term only few teachers remained,him and Luna (deputy head) and various other teachers who had come and gone.

As Harry stood upon the astronomy tower, Luna entered mid thought

"Harry?" She said

Harry, still thinking about hermione didn't answer."Umm, A new quidditch broom came out" she said, remembering his love for quidditch. Instantaneously snapped out of thought" WHAT?!?!" He demanded, then asking about all the small details about it and when he could get it. Even At 42 he still flew regularly.

Luna just stood there with a mischievous smile on her face.

"Oh.." said Harry as he soon figured out that it was a lie, a friendly scowl was sent her direction which was returned with a gleeful smile.

"What were you thinking about"she asked. "Life" he said briskly.They then stood together just thinking about their past experiences, relishing the others company.

After what felt like days of standing together they soon went to bed, ready for another day.

As Harry had hit the sheets, he soon fell into blissful sleep, once of the few things he enjoyed and made sure he enjoyed every bit of it.He became encompassed In darkness.

On the 6th July, 2:32 AM Harry James Potter had passed away at his 42nd year of age.

Harry found himself in a startlingly white room. Much like Kings cross all those days ago yet he found himself sitting on a chair, he figured that he was probably dead.

Harry shrugged, death didn't scare him. It was inevitable so why should it ?.

After a few minutes (or days he had no idea of the time) a man wearing stylish black jeans and a suit, with thick mop of blond hair and startling blue eyes.He seemed casual as he strolled upon into the room, Well he seemed casual and then he kicked the wall in frustration.

"SERIOUSLY POTTER"

"I have had it with you, 11 times

11 GODDAMN TIMES"

All that casualness soon disappeared as he radiated dark aura.

I Have been with you for the last couple years and

THIS is how you repay me?!? Using his hands to make frustrated gestures

"Umm.. Who are you" said Harry? Slightly scared at this mans action.

"Oh yeah" all of his scary misdemeanour had vanished in an instant

"I'm death"said John.

" friends call me John, you've probably seen me enough so we're probably friends"

"Ok, umm De-John, so your death? The one from the ignotus stories and the three hallows?"

"Yeah that's me, and trust me I will never do that again, now Dumbledork had the elder wand"said John.

Follow me.

We sat in Death/Johns office and he went over his records muttering phrases along the lines of "stupid potions" and "that old cow".

"Sorry but shouldn't I go to the -like afterlife?" Interrupting his thought process.

"Your a ...special case".

How am I special?

Deaths anger soon increased

"You Were supposed to live up to 230, and live a nice life with some Herminy girl, yet you die at the pitiful of 43"

"What the heck am I supposed to do with you? The rules of the creator state that you should go The the afterlife"

" Yet my pay raise is on the line, and I need that moolah" said

You get one more chance, and I swear if you MESS it up like the last times I'll have your head"

"What did I do I'm my last life?" Interested at what had happened previously

Ok your supposed friend Ron kills you twice, once out of jealousy in the triwizard tournament sabotaging your gilly weed supply and the other for another stupid reason.You know your whole friendship was fake right?!? You never wondered why Molly Weasley (saying the names as if it were vermin) couldn't remember the platform after doing it herself and her sons multiple times. Then violating the secrecy by screaming her head off by muggles, Also, you never once wandered why she was so happy to do your shopping but you gave her your vault key. Ron after that he wards off any of your future friends like Luna and longbottom and then he ruins your life for the next couple of years"

Your fist death, I can't blame you as Sirius dropped you as a baby and you hit your head on a brick, second time you died of internal bleeding after being punched in the stomach. Next you got bit in half by a basilisk, which by the way could have easily been stopped. If you just told the ministry, they would have easily figured out it was a basilisk, and placed roosters to flesh out the beast after the cat Norris was petrified. Why didn't he buy mandrake potions instead of brewing them which take ages? Because he didn't want hermione with you and she would've figured it out. The next nine are, twice in the triwizard tournament which was unneedlessly dangerous, including Ron, A fourteen year old against a vicious dragon ain't going to end well, die at the battle in the ministry,

He said counting these off on his fingers.

Hermione was kidnaped once and was crucioed to insanity and death, as she died in your arms your magical core self exploded and you destroyed all of Malfoy manor and 20 kilometers radius.

Well.. you get the point.

Ron is one of the sole reasons for your problems and has manipulated you, stealing your true friends.His jealousy of your money and fame made it very easy for him. Why do you think he was so happy for all the fame and spotlight afterwards?

Harry fumed at this, Why's that?

Dumbledork paid him 50 galleons a month to his account 100 to Molly Weasley plus all the money she stole from you with your vault key and 1000 to himself each month for war and Hogwarts purposes.If you didn't make many friends he would look to you as his saviour and then on he would easily manipulate you for the "Greater good" He said, dripping with sarcasm and obvious annoyance.I wouldn't be surprised if your vault was bare dry as he thought you would die in the forest and steal all the glory for himself

He knew that Riddle would be evil, and instead of putting him into a loving family, he forced and molded him into the new dark lord.Just so HE could get all the glory for himself, He then manipulated you and your parents to use ancient magic to destroy Voldemort.After all that he sent you to the Dursley to make you weak and look to him as the saviour.DO you honestly believe your parents would put you in the Dursleys?!? Where they all hate magic after years of being shown up about it?and never once questioned Dumbledork.Sometimes your incompetence...

He growled.

I'm gonna kill that idiot, You said something about hermione?

"Don't even get me started about her, Your so called Gryffindor Courage and you never once told her how you felt.Dont even let me list the times where you could have once asked her out,She would have definitely responded and would have been happy ever after but NOPE, so goddamn noble.She went with Ron because she was JEALOUS of you

But… but I had a crush on Ginny?

Love potions. Started around fourth year at small increments so you wouldn't be surprised by your sudden full out obsession with her. I mean, what kind of kid dates someone who looks like their mother? I'm not one to judge

Scrunching up his nose at the sound of this.

I mean, even at my standards that's a weird fetish.

You stopped "Loving" her around the horcrux hunt because she wasn't there for your doses and that's why she wanted to be with you.

Harry felt a flood of emotions at this, he could've been with hermione if he had just told her, Harry mentally berated himself multiple times after this. Why are you telling me this?

If you had been with hermione, she would have encouraged you to progress in your life and you would've done great things.Had multiple children, now I'm giving you ONE last chance and if you SCrew it up your going to the afterlife, Now because of your past failures and your stupidity

"—Hey" playfully interrupted Harry

Death waved this off with a shrug of his shoulders"ok, as due to your past failures you get to retain your memories, now all you've got to do is sign this document"

What time would I go back to? Can I save my parents?!

Sorry kid, Your parents death stopped Voldemort and Voldemort would have won otherwise, I'll transport you to the end of third year so you can save Cedric and get your life in order.

A document and a quill and ink suddenly vanished, Harry read it and signed it with the conditions of

For Harry James Potter

-No telling anyone of the afterlife

-Death is allowed to make suggestions and talk to you in life

-Agree to transport back to Harry James Potter to his third year

-Have to kill Tom Riddle

"Sir" harry started "Could hermione retain her memories as well, I just couldn't bare it if I had the only secret"

Fair enough, Death just wanted this over with, I'll give her the memories of her past life and this conversation.

Potter, you better not fail on me.

Harry immediately signed the paper.

A/N the end, Sorry that it isn't very good I'm not the best writer, any reviews about improvement or story ideas would be immensely helpful for me.Next chapter he will be in third year after saving Sirius black so he can get his life in order.

Thanks.
