Four Months in The Past
Harry sighed and played with his food, he didn't normally ignore his food but ever since Sirius' death, he hadn't been eating much.
He was sitting alone at the Gryffindor Table; he hadn't seen Ron and Hermione in a month and was starting to feel very angry.
Harry turned his gaze away from his plate and looked at all the other students who were talking amongst their friends, just looking at them he felt jealous, those being with their friends, 'Why can't I be one of them' he thought.
Not wanting to be in the Great Hall no longer Harry stood up, walked to the doors when three voices called him back, "Harry! Wait up," Harry turned around and glared at the running forms of James Potter, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin.
Harry had travelled 20 years back in time….
1 month ago
Harry sat alone in the train compartment, waiting for Hermione and Ron to come back from their prefect meeting, he recalled what had happened during the summer and realized it was the worst summer he had.
Harry had kept on waking up in the middle of the night from a dream he kept on having, it was always the same; Sirius falling through the veil, and then Voldemort would appear and saw in a twisted cold voice "It was your fault he died! The same with your parents if you hadn't lived they would be alive now!" and his parents and Sirius will take Voldemort's place and shout "It was your fault we died!"
But the one thing different about his summer was that the Dursleys had treated him nicely ever since the threat Moody gave last June.
Harry had changed during the summer, by looks; He grew up to 6'0 but Ron was still taller being 6'2.
From all the gardening the Dursleys made him do and Quidditch. Harry had developed some muscles making him no longer the skinny boy he was.
Harry was just about to fall asleep when the compartment door opened and in walked Ron and Hermione.
"Well that went well, I'm so glad Malfoy is no longer prefect!" Ron hit his fist into the air. "He was stripped off his position for being in league with Umbridge and part of the Inquisitorial Squad," he grabbed the Chocolate Frog, Harry gave him and ripped it opened and stuffed it into his mouth.
Ron pretty much looked the same but had also acquired muscles.
"Parkinson also got stripped and about time to! If had to sit in another meeting with that cow saying her beloved Malfoy and her did their duties, which is obviously a lie. I would have hexed her into next year!" said Hermione and she grumpily sat next to Harry and folded her arms.
Hermione who now stood at 5'8 changed dramatically, she had finally been able to tame her hair and it fell into small ringlets down her back. She had filled out in the right places and her curves were also filled out.
It was easily seen as Hermione was the prettiest girl in the school but Hermione was oblivious to it.
"So who do reckon Dumbledore hired to take the DADA position?" asked Harry.
"Oh, I heard Remus came back. But I don't know…I really do hope Remus took the position though," said Hermione. Harry was glad with this piece of information, over the summer Remus and he had gotten pretty close.
They were all discussing about school when the train abruptly stopped, Harry who had been standing at the time fell over and hit his head.
His eyes closed and Harry's mind was taken to another dream, but this time the dream was different.
In this dream Harry was standing alone at a green meadow, a stag walked up to him and nudged him in the chest, it then walked away.
Harry followed it but every time he got closer the stag sped up and soon Harry was running after it.
Harry kept on running trying to keep up with the stag, suddenly the stag stops in it's tracks and turns to look at Harry and looks back to where he was facing before, Harry noticed this and looked to where the stag was facing, there stood a small cottage.
Harry knew he hadn't seen it there before and wondered what was going on. He walked up to the door when a voice called out to him.
"Wake up…Wake up! WAKE UP! Enervate!"
Harry opened his eyes and found himself lying down in the Headmaster's Office. He got up and looked around, Harry noted that there was something different odd going on 'How on earth did I end up here?!'
He walked up to the desk when a cough stop him, Harry looked to who had cough and saw a 20 year-younger Dumbledore standing behind him.
"That was a splendid entrance you just did! Appearing out of nowhere and unconscious I had to use the revive spell to wake you up…And I do happen to know that you are not James Potter," said Dumbledore, with that twinkle in his eye.
"Professor, what do you mean? You know me! It's me Harry…did you just say James Potter?" Harry looked at Dumbledore wild-eyed; he was confused "What year is it?"
"The year is 1976…Ah I think I know now. You have travelled back in time Mr…ah,"
"Potter,"
"Mr. Potter, are you related to James Potter?"
"Yes, he's my father." said Harry.
"I'm assuming that Lily Evans is your mother?" Harry nodded. "Well young Potter, you need to tell me how you ended here,"
"Professor, I really don't know…I was just sitting on the train. I stood up because I was getting ready to get changed into my school robes when the train suddenly stops, I guess I must of hit my head because I remember dreaming then waking up here," said Harry in a rushed voice.
"Interesting," murmured Dumbledore rubbing his chin, "Well Harry since we don't know how you got here, you will have to wait until I could send you back in your own time. But until then you are going to attend school for now, I will need to know what year your in and what classes you are taking,"
"I'm entering my sixth year Professor and…I have my O.W.L results here," Harry handed Dumbledore his results; Dumbledore took them, scanned through them and smiled.
"I see you want to become an Auror, Harry. You will be sorted tonight with the rest of the first years and before I forget I have to change your name and looks. Your new name will be Harry Patterson. You transferred from Durmstrang that should cover up anything if anyone asks you about yourself and before I forget Harry. You must not reveal to James or the Marauders about their future for we cannot risk you not being born and what ever has happened in the future has happened for a reason, so I must ask you not tell anyone you are from the future," said Dumbledore.
He muttered a spell and Harry's hair colour changed from black to a very light brown. Harry just nodded his head stepped outside of the Headmaster's Office and waited for when all of the students to come back from their summer.
"Prongsie! One more year to go before we could live our lives out in the world," James just grinned and thought 'That's true but that also means I only have two years left to get Lily to like me,'.
"PRONGS!" James turned around to glare at a tall handsome black-haired boy.
"What Padfoot?"
"I've been trying to get your attention for awhile now! You were zoning out there, were you thinking about a certain Lily Evans?" said Sirius smirking at James.
"That's none your business!" shouted out James glaring at his best friend "Where's Remus and Peter?"
"Remus got his prefect duties and Peter," Sirius shrugged. The two boys made their way over to the Gryffindor Table and were later joined by Remus and Peter.
"I'm hungry!" whined Sirius.
"You're always hungry," replied Remus glancing up at the Head Table he noticed something odd "Dumbledore's not here yet," At this everyone else turns their head to glance up at the table,
It was true Dumbledore wasn't sitting in his usual chair and looking around at the students.
"Wonder where he is-?" said James, as soon the words come out of his mouth the doors opened and in walked Dumbledore.
Dumbledore walked over to his seat instead of sitting down he made it look like he was getting ready for the usual greeting.
"Sorry for the delay, I just had an amusing surprise earlier this morning. Before the first years come in I will need to introduce you all to a student who transferred from Durmstrang, I will like to welcome Harry Patterson!" The doors flew open and they watched the boy walked in and everyone gasped!
"James! You didn't tell me you had a twin, minus the hair colour," said Sirius.
"I never knew Sirius! But he can't be my twin because he has a different surname and also he doesn't have the Potter's hair colour," said James, he watched Harry put on the Sorting Hat, after a long while it shouted out GRYFFINDOR!
The Marauders clapped along with the rest of the Gryffindors and motioned for the boy to sit with them, while the first years entered the Dinning Room and Professor McGonagall.
"Hi! Welcome to Gryffindor the best house in Hogwarts, I'm Sirius Black," Sirius stuck his hand out to Harry. "The people here sitting with me are James Potter, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew,"
Harry nodded in their direction and shook their hands, "Hi I'm Harry Patterson but I guess you already know since Dumbledore's speech,"
James was about to say something but stopped when the Sorting Hat started to sing.
'Thousand years or more ago,
When darkness reigned the land.
Four wizards seek to build a school
And offer a helping hand.
Young children, these wizards decided, needed to be taught.
The children needed to be prepared for battles,
And so they bravely fought.
These four wizards saw that these children were way too much in size.
So they split them into four houses, each proclaimed their prize.
Brave Gryffindor saw those who fought bravely in the fight,
Seeking those with lion courage, who won by stubbornness and might.
Intelligent young Ravenclaw saw those who strategize,
They fought not only with force but also with their mind.
Sweet Hufflepuff saw the children who died proudly for their friends,
So decided to take those who were loyal to the end.
And lastly is shrewd Slytherin who saw the sly and cunning,
Deciding that trickiness will defeat the evil in a running.
Now that these wizards saw who they wanted to pick
They needed a guide, a helper to split the kids,
And decide to whom they stick.
Can you guess who they decided to fulfill this tough job?
Nevertheless it is I! A hat that talks and decides where you all belong!'
The Great Hall rang with applause as the Sorting Hat finished.
"Can't wait till the foods appears," said Sirius smacking his lips.
"Well you're going to have to wait for another while Padfoot," replied Remus "they still have to sort the first years,"
"Ruin my moment!" shouted out Sirius, as McGonagall called out "Boot, Andrew;"
"Oi! Shut up," whispered Remus while Andrew became a Ravenclaw.
When Richard Zachary became a Hufflepuff the sorting ended. Professor McGonagall picked up the hat and stool. And carried them away.
"About time," said Sirius, seizing his knife and fork and looking expectantly at his golden plate.
Professor Dumbledore had gotten to his feet. He was smiling around at the students, his arms wide opened wide in welcome.
"Tuck in,"
"Hear, hear!" said Sirius and James loudly, as the empty dishes filled magically before their eyes.
Harry was enjoying every minute in the past seeing his father and Sirius, but every time he looked at Peter he couldn't help but wanting to kill him, Harry told himself 'Just remember he hasn't done anything yet,' every time he wanted to kill him.
When the feast ended, Dumbledore got to his feet again. The buzz of chatter filling the Hall ceased almost at once.
"So!" said Dumbledore grinning at all the students "I ask for your attention, while I give out a few notices. The Forbidden Forest in the ground is out-of-bounds to all students, as is the village of Hogsmeade to all below third year," He smiled and continued on "Well enough of my drabble and lots sing the school song,"
Dumbledore took out a baton and started conducting.
'Hogwarts. Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot.'
They all sang with different tunes and it ended with James and Sirius singing in a mournful funeral song.
"Well off to bed now," said Dumbledore and then everyone headed to their respected tower. Harry followed the Marauders to the Gryffindor Tower and quickly made friends with them.
"So Harry, you like pranks?" asked James,
"Yeah! I do,"
"Do you break rules?"
"All the time, last time I remember I broke about 50 rules and nearly got expelled," said Harry
"Prongs I love this guy!" shouted out Sirius. They were all heading to the boy's dormitory when James asked another question,
"What do you think about werewolves," Harry shrugged his shoulders.
"It's fine with me, I think people judge werewolves wrongly. They should know that it's the wolf that's the monster not the person. And how would they know if the person is a really nice guy just wanting to be accepted,"
Sirius grinned at Remus, while Remus just smiled back. "Well better get going to bed," said James and they all followed him till they got into their bed.
Harry smiled he was glad for the first time, seeing his father and Sirius alive, and knew it was going to be the best year ever.
