Author's Note
First and foremost let me apologize for this long delay (slightly more than two months.) The reason...
I was reading the fanfictions belonging to Ladies of Potter community.
I thank all the people who have been with me since the beginning of this story till now and I hope that I do not disappoint you in future.
Now its time for replies to reviews
To InfinityMask
This is an Overpowered fic. That is in this fic Harry is an OP character. In a fair fight no one would be able to best him one on one. He, however, comes from a world where all of his friends and family are dead into a world where they are alive. Seeing them again would cause a momentary shock or surprise to him as he is not yet accustomed to the world. Thank you for mentioning the typo.
To PaC
Thank you for spending your time writing up such a detailed review. But as the Harem is based on the polls, the storyline depends to a lesser extent on the girls who are going to be in the harem. Thus I can neither comment on the character of the girls nor on their relationships. It all depends on the polls.
As to the mixing of religion part, it was a slight on my behalf. I cannot remove it however, as mythology plays a minor role in this story. Thank you for your input though. I'll keep it in mind for future stories. It can also be explained on the Lovegoods eccentricities, though in reality it was my fault.
Once again thank you.
To Stop Plagarising
After reading your review I read I'm Still Here, by Kathryn518. It is truly a marvelous story and I can see the similarities between the two stories. Ignoring the fact that this story has slight elements of mythology inside of it and the fact that her story is much better grammar and diction, I'm Still Here has multiple characters dimension jumping, while here only Harry jumps. Another difference is that I'm Still here is not an overpowered fanfiction. Harry is just strong in it, perhaps slightly above or below Dumbledore in terms of power. This fic on the other hand is an overpowered fiction, where Harry could go toe to toe with both Dumbles and Voldy at the same time. Thus there is a major difference in our approach. This has a slight more elements of parody in it.
To JM
As I said before Harry is overpowered in this fic. Other than that, him being heirs or Lord of houses is not going to change much in this story. At least for the first couple of arcs. After that...who knows.
By Harem I mean... that's a secret. However, I'll try to keep the relationships as realistic as possible. After all there would be at least 4 more introductory chapters before the story actually begins to start. Then there is four years left for character development. It is a loooooooooooooooooooot of time.
Thanks for your concern.
To PinaySmith
I'll just say that mentally he may be 27, but his body has the desires of a 14 year old.

You've got the character of Harry that I was trying to portray. Harry is not completely sane. How sane would you be if you had to fight a person for more than a decade while most of the people you know are dead or die after sometime, until you are all alone.
And is an OP character, not Godlike just OP.
To Xivitai and Azimm
Why would Harry in canon name his son Ablus Severus. This story follows canon exactly till the chapter King Cross. Thus my reasoning should be clear.
To KnowPein
Thank you for notifying me about the typo.
To Hornet07
Harry is a veteran fighter, he however, never learnt to deal with ambushes. He usually was the person who ambushed Voldemort and the few times he was ambushed he lost something dear to him. In the previous chapter I had highlighted it by showing Daphne's demise. Thus though Harry is a seasoned fighter and is probably able to take on anyone one on one, there are still instances where he could be surprised.
That's all Folks!

Prison Break
Auror Nymphadora Tonks was one of the newest additions in the Auror corps. Though she may not have scored as high as Kingsley Shacklebolt or Mad-Eye Moody in the Auror Entrance Examination. However, she was not one to be underestimated. The only reason for her low score, was her clumsiness, which prevented her from performing to her best level in both the obstacle course as well as the simulated battle scenario. In other aspects, she was top notch, and in disguise, infiltration and camouflage she has set the all-time high scores in the Academy.
As a junior Auror, fresh out of the academy, she was sent to prison duty. Where, about ten to fifteen junior Aurors, along with a couple of the Aurors guard the prisoners. Prison duty was considered to be one of the least risky duties for the Aurors and served to give them valuable experience. The prisoners were already weakened by the Dementors and in case anything ever went wrong there were a couple of senior Aurors on duty.
Now on this fateful day we find Nymphadora Tonks patrolling the upper levels of Azkaban.
"Damn, this gets boring, we never find any action in here." Her partner Junior Auror Ozpin said.
At that moment Murphy's Law decided to rear its head as a crashing sound was heard from the guard room.
Nymphadora glared at her friend who mumbled a silent oops. Before both of them ran towards the guard room.
Now Nymphadora was much smarter than people generally gave her credit for. While her partner charged straight into the fray, she used her Metamorphic abilities to camouflage herself from the intruder and hid in one of the crannies.
After a couple of seconds, she saw the intruder step out of the guard room and head inside Azkaban. She waited for a couple of minutes before rushing into the room. She saw all the Aurors were sprawled all about the room. After checking whether all the Aurors were alright she grabbed some Floo powder from the container.
Incendio
Flames burst into life in the fireplace. With a quick call to the Auror office, she bent into the emerald flames.
"Prison Break in Azkaban, I repeat Prison Break in Azkaban." She shouted gaining every Aurors attention.
Rufus Scrimgeour immediately took control of the situation.
"Every Auror who is available immediately head into Azkaban, formation Four-Point. I shall issue a retrieval for all Aurors who are not on an assignment to back you up. Now, move."
All the Aurors headed into one of the four fireplaces floo-ing into Azkaban.
Nymphadora withdrew from the fireplace and waited for her squad to emerge. Four-Point was a standard Auror division formation, in which the Aurors surrounded the target from four different zones and gradually approached the target from all four directions. Usually used for retrieving rogue wizards, called snitches in this case, where the Aurors possessed territory advantage.
In a couple of minutes Head Auror Rufus Scrimgeour, Senior Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt, Auror Captains Frank and Alice Longbottom Floo-ed into the room.
"Pretty strong squad here" Nymphadora commented seeing four of the best Aurors in a single squadron.
"Since you reported the break-in, it stands to reason that the intruder has also chosen this path, thus we would probably meet up with the intruder first. Now let's move, we have got a snitch to catch." Rufus said in a no nonsense tone before heading out of the room.
"Which way, did the snitch take?" He asked Tonks.
Tonks pointed towards the right and Rufus led the way the others following him.
"Rufus, do you think this break-in is related to the events of the World Cup?" Alice asked him.
"I don't know Alice, but I do not think so. If the snitch was related to the Dark Lord, he would have headed straight, to the ML wing. That's where all of the convicted Death Eaters are. Rotting with the most Dementors."
"Not all," Shacklebolt said softly with a stunned look on his face.
"What do you mean?" Scrimgeour asked him.
"Severus Snape, the man who killed Auror Peter Pettigrew was not put in the ML wing, because he did not struggle against his capture and gave up the names of the Dark Lord's Inner and Outer circle members, along with several plans of the Dark Lord, including his plans to attack you Frank and Alice. Because of his wilful aid in the capture of several Death Eaters and revealing the plans of the Dark Lord, the then judge Barty Crouch sentenced him to the BL wings."
"But he's a Death Eater, one who killed our comrade Peter. If anything he should be rotting with the Lestranges." Frank said hotly.
"He's the reason you and Alice, is alive right now. If not for him, the Aurors would not have been able to reach your house in time to apprehend the Death Eaters. Now let's hurry, there is a good chance that the snitch is after him. Shacklebolt, do you know the way to the prisoner."
Shacklebolt nodded and jogged ahead with the others following. After a minute of jogging they felt the permanent coldness that seeped into the walls reduce greatly. The five of them slowed into a walk, bringing their wands into a guarded position.
"Call the others, we have found our snitch." Scrimgeour said, seeing a Patronus disappear into wisps outside a cell.
They crept towards the cell. They saw a man talking to the prisoner. Rufus gave a short nod to the others before placing his wand behind the man's back. The others spread across behind him all training their wands on the intruder.
"Drop your wand and turn around slowly, you are under arrest for breaking into Azkaban."
Harry spun around, Frank sent a stunner at the man he flicked his wrist and deflected the stunner while turning around.
A shocked expression appeared on his face, Scrimgeour quickly disarmed him, catching his wand as it fell.
"Now you can come with us quietly or you can struggle. You are accused of breaking into Azkaban, collaborating with a known Death Eater and assault of several Aurors. Now slowly move out of the cell. Any sudden moves and we shall put you down, forcibly." Rufus said, stepping slightly back so that he could keep both Harry and Snape in his field of vision.
Harry slowly raised his hands into the air.
"Okay… I'll... fight" he said wandlessly casting two Protegos blocking the initial attack by the Aurors.
When the Aurors were shocked by the sudden shield. He attacked back with stunners and body-bind spells. The Aurors expertly blocked the spells. They, however, were slowly pushed back by the assault and had to back up outside the cell before they could retaliate. When Rufus tried to cast using both wands, Harry's wand backfired, causing him to be blasted backwards into the wall. The wand flew into Harry's waiting hands as the others were momentarily stunned by the backfire.
Stupefy
Harry called out. Kingsley, recovering from the shock the fastest, cast a Protego to block the stunner.
What he didn't expect was for three red bolts to shoot out of the wand. His shield blocked the first two, but shattered on the third overpowered stunner and he fell down unconscious.
Stupefy
Petrificus Totalus
Bombarda Maxima
Protego Maximus
Harry's shield weathered the first two attack and flickered after blocking the Bombarda.
Petrificus Totalus
Again three bolts shot out of his wand. All the three Aurors set up shields to block the spell.
Bombarda Maxima
The three simultaneously shot Blasting curses caused the entire roof above the Aurors to collapse on them. Frank waved his hand and stopped the debris from burying them, but as he was clearing the debris he was taken down by a stunner.
Alice shot a Bombarda at Snape. Harry's eyes widened and he hastily set up a shield in front of Snape leaving himself open.
Petrificus Totalus
The Body Bind Curse hit Harry, causing him to fall down. Tonks and Alice let out a sigh of relief, as the shield in front of Snape died down.
However, their relief was short lived as in a second Harry stunned Alice leaving Tonks as the only member of the squad in a fighting condition.
Stupefy, Petrificus Totalus, reducto, Bombarda Maxima.
Tonks tried chaining several curses together, but all of them were expertly deflected by Harry.
"Impressive, you were the only one to hit me with a spell. You have got some talent." Harry said coldly, while he internally cringed as he had to attack one of his favourite people. He realized that though she looked like the Tonks who was like an aunt to him this was a completely different person. Deciding to finish it, he sent a stunner, followed by a blasting curse and a body bind.
Tonks blocked the stunner, but her shield was taken down by the blasting curse, leaving her open for the body bind. Tonks fell backwards onto the floor.
Harry turned to face Snape after making sure all of the Aurors were bound.
"Are you willing to come with me?" Harry asked Snape.
"No, not until you tell me who exactly you are." Snape replied snidely.
Harry sighed at Snape's stubbornness.
"Listen Snape, either you can come with me, or you can stay here. The Aurors will be coming here in a short while. I don't think that these are the only Aurors in the prison. If they find you here, you will be tried again and be placed with the Dementors. You may even get a Kiss, as they may take this situation as an escape attempt. Make your choice quickly."
Snape thought for a few moments and he could see the logic in Harry's words and knew the ministry was corrupt and the Auror Corps prejudiced against him.
"Okay, I'll come with you." He said. Harry smiled at him, before turning to the unconscious Aurors. With a wave of his hands, he bound the Aurors together and enervated them.
"Let us go this instant, you scum." Scrimgeour shouted as they tried to break the bonds placed upon them.
"Obliviate"
The five Aurors' eyes turned glassy as the events of the past twenty minutes were deleted from their minds.
"Let's go, before they become cognizant"
Harry grabbed Snape and disappeared in a flash of fire.
James was not pleased at all. He was having a dinner with all of his friends and close family before Jasmine and her friends went to school, when he and Sirius was called to assist in capturing a snitch in Azkaban.
Mentally cursing the idiot who thought to break into Azkaban of all places. He and Sirius transfigured their dress robes into their Auror robes and Floo-ed directly into Azkaban. They were one of the best Aurors in the Auror force and both had managed to become the youngest Auror Captains ever. The only reason why they didn't get a promotion was because they were consigned into a special-ops force of the Auror division. Under the direct command of Auror Alastor Moody, who for official purposes had retired, but secretly led the special ops force of the Aurors. They assembled in a watchtower of Azkaban. From there they made their way downstairs. Most of the High Security Prisoners were placed in this wing of the prison and they were slowly making their way downstairs, wands raised and ready to cast at a moment's notice.
As they made their way down one floor and had combed about half of the second floor their Auror badges vibrated. The Auror badges had an inbuilt compound spell, which was developed by Lily and Alice together. Each of the badges bonds with an Auror and only the bonded Auror could activate this spell. Once activated, the spell would send out a discrete alerting charm in a 10-mile radius. Any Auror within this distance would be notified by a vibration in their badges. Also a tracking charm would be released showing the position of the Auror who had activated the spell.
All the Aurors paused for a moment before running towards the location of the call. As James and the others neared the place they slowed down into a jog and as they turned around the corner they saw a man burst into flames and were blinded by the flash of fire, James set up a silent Protego an instant after Sirius had sent a blasting curse and a body bind curse.
When their eyes adjusted after the brief flash, they saw that the cell was empty and the Aurors were bound and lying together. The Aurors briskly approached their fallen comrades and freed them.
"What happened here?" Moody asked Scrimgeour.
"I have no idea. The last thing I remembered is that we were in the guard room and then this." Moody asked the same thing to the others who all replied in a similar manner.
"He escaped" James shouted out, startling the others.
"Who?" Moody asked.
"Severus Snape, that bastard who killed Pettigrew has escaped."
All the faces present became sombre.
"This is bad news indeed. Snape is one of the most cunning death Eaters I've ever seen. If this person indeed meant to free Snape, we can say that something big is going to happen. It would be better if we try to break the mind block on them, we may be able to identify the snitch." He said turning to the five Aurors who stood up slowly.
"He is the person from the World Cup. Both of them burst into flames before disappearing. It can't be a co-incidence" Sirius said.
"Perhaps, that does seem to be the most logical solution. And the events of the World Cup have shown us that something is up." Mad Eye paused for a couple of seconds before continuing "and I believe Ms. Potter is going to be in the middle of it very soon. With the Triwizard held at Hogwarts, this would be the opportune moment for a Death Eater to strike."
"Then we should ask Albus to increase security in the school." Sirius said, concerned about his goddaughter.
"I've already thought about that. I have accepted the post of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor this year. I've also asked Albus to allow a small contingent of Aurors to be present throughout the year. Now, we must get you to St. Mungo's to reverse the effects of the memory Charm." He said turning to the others.
By now, the other two squads have also arrived and stood around the cell.
"Search the entire area for any other discrepancies." Mad eye said to them before turning around and leading the five to the guard room. From there, they Floo-ed to St Mungo's.
The five were quickly shown to a mind healer who worked with each of them. After a couple of hours an exhausted mind healer walked out of the room.
"I'm sorry I couldn't do anything. The memory block has been protected by a key-phrase, and trying to break the block using brute force could cause severe mental harm to them. The only thing I've managed to uncover is that the person was a male."
"We knew that before." Mad Eye grumbled before walking in to talk with the five.
