Author's notes:

I kind of got bored waiting for my beta to take a look at chapter three of my other story. In addition, I was not happy with a fan fiction I've been keeping up with is turning out. So, I decided to write a story with the same concept of Harry being given a second chance but doesn't have any memories of what happened the first time around. This is the result. I didn't want to copy how Harry got sent back in time so I "stole" the method of how he got sent back in time from Jedi Buttercup's "Back Again, Harry?" The italicized text is from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I do not own Harry Potter, I'm just an insane fan mutilating JK Rowling's works.

Chapter 1

"I've got to go back, haven't I?"

"That is up to you."

"I've got a choice?"

"Oh yes." Dumbledore smiled at him. "We are in King's Cross, you say? I think that if you decided not to go back, you would be able to…let's say…board a train."

"And where would it take me?"

"On," said Dumbledore simply.

Silence again.

"Voldemort's got the Elder Wand."

"True. Voldemort has the Elder Wand."

"But you want me to go back?"

"I think," said Dumbledore, "that if you choose to return, there is a chance that he may be finished for good. I cannot promise it. But I know this, Harry, that you have less to fear from returning here than he does."

Harry glanced again at the raw-looking thing that trembled and choked in the shadow beneath the distant chair.

"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love. By returning, you may ensure that fewer souls are maimed, fewer families are torn apart. If that seems to you a worthy goal, then we say good-bye for the present."

"Do I have to go back to the exact moment I was cursed?"

The twinkle in Dumbledore's eyes; he seemed perplexed by Harry's train of thought.

"I do not see why you would want to delay you returning. There is no knowing what would happen to your body while it is abandoned. And you may come back to find Hogwarts in ruins." Dumbledore resounded.

"That's not what I meant. I was thinking if there was an extra advantage of being the master of all three hallows like being able to go back in time before one's death and try to prevent it. Kind of like what the muggle stories of Merlin living backwards threw time."

"There is no lore on the subject. The last time the hollows were united was when the Peverell brothers were still alive and there is no knowing what abilities all three hollows will give their master. And you know the risks of time travel Harry. If you go back, you will be free of having a piece of Voldemort's soul inside of you. You will no longer be Voldemort's equal nor a parslemouth. If you go backwards in time too far, you may put lives in jeopardy."

Harry knew what Dumbledore meant. If he went backwards in time to before he went into the Chamber of Secrets to save Ginny, she could get trapped in there and die and a very much alive Lord Voldemort would be in the castle. He wanted to stop Voldemort during the Tri-Wizard tournament. Two years didn't seam like enough time to prepare without getting people too suspicious at a critical time. Perhaps if he could destroy the diary before then. But he would need a supply of basilisk venom since he would not be able to lace Gryffindor's sword with it let alone get Gryffindor's sword... The Room of Requirement! Mr. Filch used it to get cleaning supplies. Why not use it to get basilisk venom?

"I understand. But I think my plan will work if I can go backwards in time. Now I just need to figure out how to go backwards in time..." Harry said.

"I would imagine you just need to take a train. And before you go, I would say that if this works, I will try to ask fate if they can do something to insure that you succeed in endeavor to defeat Voldemort. Good luck."

Harry stepped onto a train thinking of the moment he wanted to return to. He just hoped this will work...

Harry woke up in his cupboard in a panic. He had the strangest dream. He couldn't remember all of it but he remembered that he was in a train station with an old man just before he woke up...

He sat up hoping he could try to remember more about his dream. But he noticed a strange but beautiful red and yellow swan sized bird in the cupboard with him. Just what he needed after being locked in his cupboard for so long after being blamed for causing a snake in a zoo to attack his cousin Dudley...

How is he going to explain this to his aunt and uncle? Birds don't just appear in locked cupboards... Maybe this is some kind of strange joke Dudley decided to play on him as revenge for what happened at the zoo. He then noticed the bird was holding a letter in its mouth. The bird then dropped the letter. Harry decided to read it.

Harry,

Sorry if the phoenix alarmed you when you woke up. Fawkes here was the only way I could get a message to you given the state of things. Anyways my boy, there was a little accident when you boarded the train. Fate greatly apologies for it as they did not intend for it to happen. A departed soul of a clumsy friend of yours who died shortly before you were cursed accidentally bumped into the train and your memories have been scattered but they will slowly come back to you but it maybe years before you remember everything. Fate says they will no longer have the train going back to the living run threw the afterlife and have it take a more direct route to its destination. As compensation for the accident, Fate has arranged to make some interesting changes for you this time around to make things some-what easier but they will not guarantee you will succeed. Just be sure to meet the Weasleys. Fate owes you.

Albus Dumbledore

P.S.

Fate told me this time around Fawkes is bonded to you as well as to my younger self. Just tell him to go to my office after reading this so you wont get into any trouble with your relatives.

This is definitely some kind of joke he thought. A bird in his cupboard and a strange letter... But the name Albus Dumbledore seamed familiar and someone he could trust...

He continued to sit up in his cot thinking for a moment. It was quite so he assumed his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon haven't gotten out of bed yet.

"Well, this letter says I'm bonded to you and that I should tell you to go to Albus Dumbledore's office, who ever he is..." Harry decided to say to Fawkes.

Fawkes looked a looked a little confused for a moment then disappeared in flash of fire leaving Harry wondering if he had lost his mind...

When Harry's aunt and uncle got out of bed, he was allowed to come out of his cupboard just to go use the bathroom before being locked back up inside the cupboard with a piece of toast for breakfast. It seamed like it would be another dull day of being locked up in the cupboard up until he heard a knock of the front door of the house.

His aunt apparently had been the closest to the front door because he heard her answer it.

"You! What nerve you to show up after all these years after leaving him on the doorstep with only a letter as an explanation! Get inside before any of the neighbors see you!" Harry heard his aunt almost shout.

"You're one of them! Get out of my house! I won't tolerate any more of your kind in here and he won't be going to that freaky little school of yours!" Harry's uncle yelled.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you two but I am hear to check up on Harry. I heard some disturbing news from a reliable source about Harry." he heard a man say. His voice sounded familiar to Harry. It sounded like the old man that was in his dream!

"That boy is not here and where he is none of your concern! And if he has gotten himself into trouble, he deserves it! Now get out of my house!" Harry's uncled yelled.

"I'm not leaving until I know where Harry is. And I can see that you have not done what I asked... I just hope you haven't inflected the damage onto Harry that you have caused your son." the man said.

Harry heard his aunt shout something about they never damaged Dudley and how they decided to raise the kids in their care is none of his business. Who ever this man was, he was obviously looking for Harry. Harry decided to do something he knew he may regret later. He decided to pound on the door of his cupboard and yell.

"Get away from there old man!" Harry's aunt yelled.

The cupboard door opened and Harry saw a man with a long beard and blue eyes looking down at him speechless.

Harry's aunt and uncle weren't saying anything also. They were horrified that were they kept Harry had been found.

It was Harry's uncle that broke the silence.

"Now that you have found him, get out here! That freak is so much trouble now he's going to wish he'd never been born!"

The old man turned to Harry's aunt and uncle and said, "I'll gladly leave now. However, it appears I have been greatly mistaken to believe Harry was safe living with the two of you. I'll leave now, with Harry. The wards that have kept you from harm will expire in a year and I wish you good luck then because not all witches and wizards are forgiving like I am. Come Harry. Lets get you away from this place."

Given the choice between his uncle's wrath and leaving with a total stranger, even if that stranger seemed familiar, he would choose the stranger. He followed the old man out of the house and into a near by alley.

"Now that we are out of sight, Fawkes should be here shortly to transport us to my office at Hogwarts." the old man said. The bird that was in the cupboard with Harry earlier appeared in flash of fire.

"Now, just hold on to my hand and Fawkes with transport us."

Harry held the old man's hand and the next thing Harry saw was a flash a red, orange, and yellow before an office filled with all kinds of silver spindly gadgets came into view.

"Welcome to Hogwarts Harry."

Chapter End Notes:

Tell me what you think. Anyways, yes, that clumsy person who bumped the train was Tonks. I was eating sweets nonstop when I started this story. That's my excuse for having Tonks do that.
