This story is inspired by the movie, the Butterfly Effect. This is a topic area that really fascinates me.

Harry Potter had always wished his parents hadn't been killed by Voldemort. It seemed that everyone he ever loved was simply taken from him and he would wind up alone.

That was until one day in the third year at Hogwarts. That was the year Sirius Black had escaped from Askaban and the school was surrounded by dementors. That was the year Hagrid was teaching Care of Magical Creatures and had introduced the class to Buckbeak the Hippogryf, which was later ordered to be killed as a result of the stupidity of one Draco Malfoy. That was the year Harry found out Sirius Black was his God father and that it was no he but Peter Pettigrew who had led Voldemort to Harry's parents and went into hiding right under Harry's nose as Ron's pet rat Scabbers. That was the year Hermione took on extra subjects andwas mysteriously appearing and dissappesring in classes to cope with her impossible timetable.

The day he and Hermione saved Sirius and Buckbeak both at once was the day he discovered her secret and it opened up a window of opportunity for him. If he could only 'borrow' the time turner from her, he could use it to do the one thing he had ever dreamed of doing from the time he was small, save his parents and end the misery of living with his horrid aunt, uncle and cousin.
