Chapter 1: From Present to Past towards the Future, I guess...time-travel is complicated

London – November 15th – Ministry of Magic - Hall

If you were to be one of the secretly gifted part of the world population able to comprehend and use the mysterious power of "Magic" you would still find incredible how under the busy streets of London, carefully hidden by layers upon layers of ancient magic (and more modern asphalt and metro's lines) a full-fledged Ministry could be found.

There men and women were on constant movement to be sure that the Magical population of Great Britain could continue prospering hidden in plain sight, regulating mystical creatures, magical sports and securing criminals to their right place in jail.

Sure, there still was some bigotry and the occasional bribe here and there, but the actual Minister of Magic was Hell-bent into stopping each attempt every time they present themselves.

In the main Hall a line of Floo terminals, commonly know as fireplaces, could be seen spit out employers regularly with swirls of green flames as well as swallowing them to send those wizards and witches where their presence was required.

At the opposite side of them could be seen a line of circles painted on the floor, recently added to permit or stop people from Apparating inside the Hall itself, and it is in one of those circles that one of the characters of our story will make his entrance.

As we said, apparating with a swirl of his black robes, a tall man made his way inside the ministry, his robe billowing at each step as every man or woman present greeted him with a little bow of their heads and a smile.

"Good Morning" The man said at each one of them, a warm smile on his face and a still young light in his emerald eyes behind the glasses he was wearing.

Reaching the service lifts he moved towards his office in the depths of the London's underground world that Muggles (non-magical humans) could never imagine exists under their very feet.

"Miss Britanny, good morning! Beautiful as ever, I see" The man greeted his secretary with a charming smile

"Good morning to you, Mister Potter, the delegation from Bristol just sent an owl with the results of that expedition in the site of the encounter" the woman said

"So? What was the result?" The Boy...sorry, The-Man-Who-Lived, Harry Potter, Head of the DMLE ( Department of Magical Law Enforcement) asked with child-like curiosity

"Apparently it was another fake...a Muggle decided it could have been funny to wear a costume and pretend he was a were-wolf and scare his friends" the woman said taking away her glasses to massage her eyes

"It's the third time this month, we can't move a squad of Auror every time someone fails to tell the difference between a TRUE victim of Lycanthropy and a drunkard looking for an easy laugh...please remember to them that they need to pay attention and check before actually call us, if they REALLY see a pack of werewolves not registered THEN they can call the ministry! I am a little tired of the ear-fulls I get from the responsible of Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures saying that WE are the ones to raise those fake alarms" Harry said tiredly while passing an hand in his messy hair

"You know Sorensen, Mister Potter...he likes to keep everything under control" The secretary said smiling

"I know that he likes to give me headaches, that's for sure!" Harry said laughing and entering his office, the comfy chair massaging his body with its quality leather.

"Let's see what do we have here today..." he said going through a stack of papers on his desk

"I wonder if anything will happen soon, there are times where this work gets repetitive and boring" Harry whined as a little vibration from a mirror on his desk alerted him

"Gotta love how the Marauders' Mirrors made communication easier here" he said smiling and accepting the call

"Potter? Did you have a minute? I need your presence in my office right now" a female voice said from the other side of the mirror

"I am coming Minister, I'll be there as soon as possible" the link closed as he said that

"I wonder what is the problem now..." was the question in his mind as he was leaving the office

Office of the Minister of Magic – few minutes later -

"...For the last time, we managed to remove the curses from the Bludgers! The Quidditch World Cup can be held again!" the Head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports said scoffing to the Minister

"Until the last Bludger is fully Tested we can't let the matches go on! We can't risk another player turn into a screaming ball of purple fire because one of those decided to explode on impact!" The Minister answered rising her voice

"Ow, Come on! I thought that after resolving that slightly malfunctioning Quaffles issue I had your trust in my abilities, Minister!" the man said whining

"Those slightly malfunctioning Quaffles as you call them kept turning whoever touched them into a rabbit!" The woman answered

"Into an Hare, but that's beside the point" the other answered waving his hand dismissively

"Oh Merlin, sometimes you are impossible" the Minister said as a knocking at the door made the two pause

"Did I chose a wrong moment?" Harry asked peeking inside the room with his head

"No, no, Harry, enter! I need help in dealing with him" the woman said gesturing him to enter

"Minister...if after seven years of school (plus an extra year due to the Dark Lord attack to the school), sixteen years of working as simple employers here and other eleven years as Heads of our respective Department I couldn't reign him, then I am ashamed to say that I will never manage that" Harry said grinning

"But you defeated a Basilisk at twelve and out-flied a Dragon at fourteen! You can do everything!" the woman whined using a privacy spell to seal the room and signalling to her assistant to not disturb her

"Hey! Don't talk like I am not here to begin with!" the man said with his ears getting crimson red

"I am talking to my best Auror, please behave!" the woman said glaring at him

"Mione, please! You too Ron! Stop bickering like kids" Harry said smiling at his two friends

"That's easy for you, Harry! You don't have every Quidditch Team breathing on your neck because Someone stopped the World Cup half way to the finals" Ron said massaging his temples tiredly

"As Minister of Magic I have the Sacred duty of keeping everyone safe, until we are sure that every ball is as rules dictate we can't take risks" Hermione Granger, Minister of Magic said rising her chin in defiance of the red-faced Weasley in front of her desk

"I still can't believe you were elected, no offence, but a lot of Pure-blood bigots threw a tantrum at the news of a Muggle-born woman rising to your position" Harry said rising both hands in a peaceful manner

"It helps having the backing of the man who defeated Voldemort TWICE...and his side-kick" Hermione said smiling at Ron's fuming face

"I was NOT his side-kick! I was a valuable member of Hogwarts' prized Golden Trio, there is a difference" Ron answered crossing his arms making the other two laugh at his expenses

"Speaking of why I called you two here, do you remember what day is today?" Hermione asked leaning back in her chair

"How could I forget, it's the second Friday of the month, the Golden Trio Day!" Harry said in fake seriousness

"Be serious, it's your turn to hold our dinner in memory of our time at Hogwarts, I hope your house will be sparkling clean this time too" Hermione said glaring at the bespectacled man

"With Ginny at home? The poor dust can't even think about laying down, it's three days that she is moving war to the dirt, now that her Team is out of the Cup she is only focused into showing off how sparkling our house is!" Harry said groaning

"She took from my mother, I expected no less! I pity you, mate" Ron said moving an hand on Harry's shoulder

"I was reviewing few things about Hogwarts lately, so tell me, did you never think about the past?" Hermione asked

"Can you believe me if I say that I miss our adventures at school?" the head of the DMLE said sighing

"I don't know you, but being petrified is not my best memory of my youth" Hermione answered

"Neither is for me puking slugs or facing Aragog and his little Acromantulas" Ron said shivering

"Well, I had to FIGHT the Basilisk, spiders and Dementors directly, but it was still exciting! The feeling of the unknown before us! The knowledge that if no-one believed us then it was OUR duty to resolve a situation! You can't deny that flying on Buckbeck was cool, Mione!" Harry said

"Hey! Hands down! She is my wife, remember!" Ron said glaring playfully at him

"Did I made the right choice in giving you that position at the DMLE, Harry? You still have that hunger for adventure in you" the bushy haired girl asked grinning

"I was reckless with difficulties in following rules and orders, that's true, but I am 45 now, with the age comes a little self-control too...and that counsellor helped a lot in reigning my temper" he answered shrugging his shoulders

"That's true, but yes, I have to say that I miss those years too, we were so cool back there" Ron said smiling tenderly at the picture on Hermione's desk

It was a moving picture the three of them took the last day of school after taking the final exam at Hogwarts in their "second" seventh year after the final battle against Voldemort and his Death Eaters ended.

"Same here, I admit there are times I abuse of the Pensieve in the ministry just to relive those wonderful years" Hermione said with a far-away look in her eyes

"Should you have the power to go back...will you do it?" Harry asked casually

"Hypothetically? I'll say let's go now! but this is not possible Harry, in history countless wizards, Dark ones and non, tried but no-one ever managed" Hermione said

"She is right, mate! I would love to go back in the past, a lot of people would be alive, like Fred or Sirius" Ron said looking down in sadness, his brother George wasn't the same after his twin's death

"I know, but changing subject...what was the gimmick of our trio?" Harry asked out of the blue

"The Gimmick?"

"Yes, what were our roles?"

"I don't know, I was the one to research and come up with strategies and spells while you Harry were the powerhouse of the three, I mean, a Patronus during the third year? I have adult Aurors barely able to summon a silver mist at the first try and you summoned one strong enough to defeat an horde of Dementors as well as being the one crazy enough to jump on the back of a Troll at Eleven" Hermione said closing her eyes in thought

"And Ron was our wild card/strategist and expert on the magical world...when he wasn't a jealous brat that is" Harry said grinning

"You will never cease to remember me about the Triwizard Tournament, don't you? I already said that I am sorry, okay? The Horcrux Hunt I will pretend it never happened instead" Ron said angrily

"That's good, I won't stop saying that spending those nights in that tent was the WORST year of my life! and the Dursleys helped me develop an hard pair of shoulders in that regard" Harry answered nodding

"So? Why did you asked about our roles back there? What about that going back in time?"

"Because this man you see here, my dear Bookworm of a Minister, as powerhouse of the Golden Trio AND Best Auror of the Minister of Magic for several years before being exiled behind a desk has FINALLY found the right way for going back in time" Harry said with a wide smile

"He is crazy...I'll call St. Mungo to reserve a padded room for him, you keep him occupied until the doctors arrive" Ron said shaking his head

"Listen to me! did you remember that little Trip I made in Transylvania? And the vacation in Egypt and Rome?" Harry explained

"Yes, Ginny spent two weeks as our guest wailing because you went alone, she thought you had a lover somewhere and were cheating on her" Ron answered

"I wasn't relaxing because of over-working, I was creating a ritual useful to build a Time Door to the past" he explained

"A Time Door?" Hermione asked

"Tonight after dinner I'll give you two the full details, but as for now I'll just say that thanks to the diary of Brutus Claudius, an old wizard of Ancient Rome, I discovered that legends about moving freely inside the Time Flux were already well-known to the Magical community while Teothmesi II, the personal wizard of a Pharaoh, helped me in finding several myths about this little Wonder of Magic thanks to his notes, check those names if you want, the rest will need to wait after my wife's prized Roast-beef" Harry said getting up and leaving the room

"I hate when he knows something I know not...I am supposed to be the Know-it-all of the group!" Hermione said pouting

"I know dear, but I love you nonetheless...now...about the Quidditch World Cup..." Ron said casually with a charming smile

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!" she yelled angrily

Potter Mansion (Former Malfoy Mansion) – That evening -

"I still laugh whenever I think about how Draco ended up selling his old house to you" Ron said smiling as the trio neared the entrance

"Never try to not pay a debt with the Goblins, Gringotts does not like when someone try to Steal their gold...and the price wasn't as high as I thought" Harry answered

"What happened to Draco's room?" Hermione asked

"I turned it into my study, I sent to Draco a picture of me burning his stuff for his birthday, last news had him working in a Goblin mine using his nails to dig the rock" came the answer of a evilly grinning Potter

Once opened the door Harry was tackled by a red-haired missile wearing an apron, as the two fell to the ground Ginny tried her best to suck away Harry's face through kissing.

"For the love of Merlin's red striped boxers, Ginevra Molly Weasley! I don't wanna see my sister trying to tear away my best mate's tonsils with her tongue!" Ron yelled enraged making the two disengage

"POP! Shut up! I didn't saw him since this morning! Harry, honey...why didn't you sent an owl to tell me you were stuck at work? I was so worried!" Ginny said snugging into her husband chest

"Sorry, I was so focused working that I forgot" Harry said helping her to stand up

"The boys sent a letter from Hogwarts, they are okay and professor Neville sent us an invitation for tea sometime in the future" Ginny said dusting her apron and guiding the group inside

"Do you think they will mind if we make an appearance at school?" he asked

"For you I don't think they will mind, my love"

"We'll come too, I want to see how my little pests are going" Ron said

"Why not? It would be funny to see the school again, Ginny? Did you need help in the kitchen?" Hermione asked

"An extra pair of hands should never be wasted" Ginny answered as the two disappeared behind a door

"Come with me, I have a bottle of Ogden's Finest with our name on it" Harry said guiding Ron in the living room

"So? How are things with her?" Ron asked accepting the glass of Fire Whiskey

"It has its Highs and Downs, but I am happy like this" Harry answered

Seeing his friend serious expression from under the glass, Ron moved his wand to cast a silence spell on the room's door before moving in front of him

"They won't hear us now...Ginny is still suffocating like the day after the ceremony?" he asked

"It's even worse, last week she did It again before laundry" Harry said

"Sigh! What was this time?"

"An used shirt! Merlin, Ron! She was smelling it and moaning! I have to check for spying spells every time I take a shower! At the beginning it was good, it made me feel attractive...but now it creeps me out! Yes, she is a wonderful woman and her playing Quidditch helps her maintaining her body in shape, but I have to slip birth-control potions in her food and drinks to prevent other pregnancies!" Harry said emptying his glass in one go

"Okay! I didn't asked you to tell me how many times you keep shagging my sister!" Ron said in fake disgust making Harry laugh

"Six times every night is still my record, without pepper-up potions too, but seriously...I don't know what to do, and you? How are things at Weasley's house?" Harry said filling another glass for him and his friend

"It doesn't work between us, Harry, at the beginning it was good for us too, you know...the kisses, the promises of eternal love, but now we are moving apart, still friends mind you, but the wedding itself is just moving by...how was that Muggle word? Iternia?" Ron said shaking his head

"Inertia" Harry corrected

"That and the kids, we are trying to reach a stability for them, we don't want them to see their parents separate, and we work both for the Ministry of Magic, it's not like we won't see each other anymore"

"My only problem with Ginny is her fixation for me, if not for that it would be perfect"

"That's not the whole problem, Harry" Ron said looking at the fireplace

"What do you mean?" Harry asked

"What would you think if I tell you that my mother played the two of us like nice little pawns in her personal game?" Ron said in a cold voice

"I would tell you that I have already figured it out" he said nearing the red-head

"So I was the only one to fall for it?"

"No, it took me years to discern the Lies of both her and Dumbledore from the Truth, you seriously think that Molly Weasley, mother of seven kids, would forget from where the Hogwarts Express depart after all those years? At King's Cross there is ONLY the 9¾ platform for the school...and something tells me that Ginny's surprisingly similarity to me and my mother is not casual either, not from what you say at least" Harry answered

"It wouldn't surprise me if mum came confess that since Ginny's birth she fed her with Quidditch and the tales about you and your parents just to be sure that Ginny and you would end up married one day, all to have her precious daughter be the wife of the-boy-who-lived! Now I understand why you hate that title, just a bunch of hypocrites will be happy to remind you of your parent's death...and unfortunately I was one of them" Ron said shaking his head

"She made sure you would become my friend to have another connection to her family, but at the same time feeding your jealousy so you would stride to become someone important, better than me" Harry said

"Right in one! money and fame from the Potters and just to be sure here enters Hermione too in the picture, The Brightest Witch to ever grace Hogwarts, she hoped to have me marry her to have a little more Brain in the family, her talent and being your friend would have been enough for me to achieve an important position in the Wizarding world, it worked apparently"

"So? What now?" Harry asked

"I don't know, but believe me when I say that I AM your friend, not because of my mother's manipulations, but because I care about you" Ron said fixing his stare on his old friend

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter how you reached your position, you are one of the best heads the Department of Magical Games and Sports ever had and we all know it, don't minimize yourself and your results"

"Do you think..." Ron said sighing with a dreadful look in his eyes "Do you think we were subjected to love potions back there? What if it was all a plan of both my mother AND Dumbledore to control you?" he asked fearfully

"I don't think those two worked together, their schedule was more on the personal kind, Molly wanted to raise her family status with both the money and the fame of my family name, even without being a noble house both Lily and James Potter are considered war heroes, putting them practically on the same level of any Pure-blood family...Dumbledore instead was firmly focused on him being the only one able to TRULY vanquish Voldemort, he needed my sacrifice to destroy the last fragment of his soul, there my being completely humble and self-less comes out, once it was clear that a piece of Voldemort's essence was inside me I was already directed towards the path of the martyr" Harry answered

"And about the potions?" Ron asked

"Highly unlikely, in order to be subtle and stopping anyone from noticing, especially Madam Pomfrey since I used to spend a lot of time in the infirmary and if I was found positive to love potions then by proxy you two would have been checked too, Molly would have been forced to use slow-acting ones and feeding them to us regularly so to plant the seed of my crush on Ginny and yours on Hermione...even if she used to send us sweets during the festivities those would have not be enough"

"Then there is only one last thing to do" Ron said fiercely

"Which is?"

"We go back in time, destroy whatever plans my Mother and that Old Coot have for us, stop Sirius, Fred and any other friend of us from dying and kick that Dark Bastard's snake-like ass so hard that he'll use the Avada Kedavra on himself in desperation" Ron said turning fully to look at Harry

"We?!" Harry asked in disbelief

"Yes WE! Me and You! It's time for the Golden Trio to come back to the battlefield where we belong, but this time with the knowledge of what must be done without being three poor idiots easily manipulated by the so called Adults!"

"Like this I may help Ginny to snap out of it, maybe starting dating her sooner and you helping her at the Burrow may help her out of her personal fairy-tale" Harry said nodding

"Not this time, Potter" Ron said seriously

"W-W-What do you mean?"

"This time YOU will be with Hermione and..."

"WHAT!?" Harry yelled letting the glass fall to the floor

"Let me finish! listen, do you know what happened after we saved her from that Troll during the first year?" Ron asked

"We three became friends"

"Not exactly, she developed a crush on you" Ron said sitting in one of the chairs near the fire, motioning Harry to do the same

"But! But I thought you two" Harry tried saying

"I'll tell you the whole thing then, after that incident she developed a crush on you, as I said, it was a simple thing, a school crush we can say, that sort of thing the young girls like to talk about...by the time of the second year when she was petrified and we spent days near her trying to talk to a cold block of rock that used to be our best friend that crush started evolving, especially when she heard how you killed the beast responsible with only a sword, the thing reached the apex during your little trip back in time to save Sirius, by then she was head over hills for you" Ron explained looking at the other eyes

"I-I don't understand" Harry said

"She feared being rejected, during the third year she was still confused when we started getting closer, then our friendship almost was crushed to bits during that blasted tournament during the fourth year (And I have the slightly suspicion that the Old bastard I have an awful lot of names Dumbledore was hoping to see us break apart) after that me and Hermione started finding an interest in each other...If you remember I was dating Lavender for a while before moving back towards our dear Bookworm, but deep inside I could feel that something wasn't right, and I know she was feeling the same, after that...well, we can say it was a series of events that bought us where we are now"

"And where are we now?" Harry forced himself to ask

"I saw Lavender again, recently, we had a good time remembering our little time together, Won-Won nickname not included, and I found myself wondering if my life would have been different by staying with her, that's another reason I am asking you to add me to the whole trip thorough Time, Hermione doesn't know I am saying this to you, but we talked after you left her office" Ron said getting even more serious

"A-A-And?" the other asked

"We want a second chance...Me with Lavender and Hermione with you, she asked me to keep this thing a secret, she knows you would fight it in fear to come between me and her, but after all those years we understood that other than friendship there can't be any other kind of relationship between us, but I couldn't keep you in the dark about this, Harry! No more secrets between us, please! I can't stand anymore internal struggles between us, I am tired to wake up at night after dreaming about what happened with the damned Slytherin locket that drew us apart" Ron said looking down

"What about Ginny, Ron? What about her?" Harry asked

"Once we go back, IF we manage to go back, at the first sign of her fixation I'll write a letter to St. Mungo to have her under control of an Healer, the doctors will be forced to keep the fact I was the one to tell them a secret if I ask, my little sister was a victim of a manipulation just like you and me, she had her WHOLE life programmed to follow my Mother's plan for her, I won't permit this! I will protect Ginny even if it will mean to Hex my own mother!" Ron said fiercely

"But..." Harry stammered

"Listen, I know you will make Hermione happy, she still has feelings for you and I am sure that if given the occasion she will be more than happy to be Mrs Potter...but, just to be sure" Ron said pointing his wand at Harry's forehead, jabbing the area where his trademark Scar was

"IF by any chance you do decide to have her as girlfriend, then you better be sure to never make her suffer, or her Unofficial brother Ronald Billius Weasley will personally hit you with so many curses that even Voldy The Terrible will feel pity for you!" Ron said solemnly before putting away his wand

"Voldy The Terrible?" Harry asked failing to hide his smile

"Would you prefer Moldyshorts?" The other answered smirking

At that the two friends shared a long laugh, finally accepting the idea of going back together and trying to find a new happiness with their second chance

"Are you sure about Hermione?" Harry asked

"Completely! The Hell, Harry! If it was me the one you saved from that smelly giant I would have fell for you myself!"

"Sorry, you are not my type"

"Pity, I always loved your blazing green eyes" Ron said in mock hurt, making the two blow into another laughing fit.

"Thank you, Ron...for everything" Harry said

"No, mate! I am the one that should say thank you...you gave me more than I could ask, let's go now, my sister will tear me to pieces if I make her husband miss the dinner" the red head said as the two moved to the table where their respective wives were already waiting.

Later – Potter Mansion – after dinner -

The dinner went smoothly with small talks and compliments to Ginny's cooking ability that awarded Harry with a smouldering kiss, making a green-faced Ron understand why his friend had the house elves helping in lacing the food with contraceptive potions.

Especially when Ginny's hand went too much near Little Harry.

"Ginny, my love, I will show to our guest my latest project, can you wait five minutes?" Harry asked gently

"Why you never show it to me?" the woman asked pouting

"It's just a little hobby, but once it is completed I will give you a tour of my secret lab" he answered smiling

"A secret lab?" Ginny asked surprised "Then maybe you will be able to experiment on me there?" she whispered sultrily at his ear

"M-Maybe" the madly blushing man answered nodding, those were the times she went from disturbing to hot, and he was ashamed to admit he liked it.

"Oh, please! Take a room!" Ron said in dismay

"We have plenty of rooms here" Ginny answered smirking

"OK! Harry, please show us what you talked about earlier!" Shoving his sister away the red haired male member of the three pushed Harry and Hermione out towards the entrance

"Thank you" Harry said

"Are you sure she has enough? She was practically harassing you!"

"RON! That is something you should not ask about!" a blushing Hermione reprimanded

"Ask about what? He only has a nympho as a sister!" Harry said simply

"THAT'S MY SISTER YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!" Ron yelled in rage, his ears red with fury

"Whatever, come with me, I'll show you the fruit of an over twenty-years-long research" Harry said guiding them in the basement

"Twenty years?" Hermione asked in awe

"I am trying to blow an hole in the Space-Time Continuum...you can't expect me to do it in a weekend after a brief visit to Flourish&Blotts" he answered

"Still, it's a long research to do" she muttered

Potter Mansion – Basement – Harry's lab -

Guiding his friends to an heavy-looking, black metallic door Harry moved his wand in a circle muttering a series of spells, with a final hissing word the door clicked before opening

"Was that Parseltoungue?" Ron asked

"Yes, I thought that since there are very few Parselmouth users around the globe I could use it to create a password to lock the door" he answered.

Inside the wide room they could see How Harry actually spent those twenty years.

The far-away wall was covered in glowing glyphs and runes while an ordinate pile of square-cut rocks were resting under them, a faint red glow on the rocks humming in tone with the writings at the wall.

The right wall was instead covered by pictures, notes and newspaper clips talking about what happened during the seven years of their lives at Hogwarts, treads of red, blue, green and white connecting a picture to a note or an article to another as to find a pattern in the series of events that happened while the three of them were just kids trying to have a normal life at school.

The whole left side of the room was occupied by an huge table with notes, potions ingredients, books and scrolls apparently as old as Time itself laying around the surface while a rather big cauldron was quietly bubbling with its content with a long wooden pole in it moving by itself near the entrance, the whole room Smelled of Power and Ancient Magic.

"Holy Quaffles, Harry! This is downright creepy, there must be enough info here to cover every single day we spent at school!" Ron said pointing at the pictures and notes at the wall

"The sum of all alchemy...the great secrets of sorcery...THE MOSTE DARKE MAGIC!? COMPENDIUM OF THE DARKEST RITUALS OF TWISTED TIMES!? For the love of Merlin, Harry! THE BOOK OF MADNESS! Those are the most obscure books on dark magic that I have ever seen! Even Tom Riddle would have sold his soul to the Devil to put his hands on one of them! Where the Hell have you found all of this!" Hermione yelled in awe and Horror at the same time while reading the title of few of the books on the table

"Those and the ones adorning this library..." Harry said opening a cabinet near the entrance showing a collection of Dark tomes that seemed to whisper to the three presents

"Are the result of few of my vacations around Europe, few of them from Cursed Libraries or forgotten temples I sacked during the years, calling the Curse-breakers from Gringotts cost me quite few money, but the result is pretty good, it helped my research to go further...and before you two start worrying, no! I made no Human or Animal sacrifices to Eldritch Abominations or Deities of the Abyss, but what I plan to do is not exactly normal, so I had to study something more...on the dark side shall we say" Harry said moving towards a trunk resting near the books to take out a shallow stone basin into which were carved runes and strange symbols, filled with a silvery substance seemingly cloud-like and at the same time liquid/gaseous in consistence.

"A pensieve?" Ron asked

"Taken from the house of a mad man I met in Bulgaria, Dumbledore was right, watching a memory from another point of view helps a lot" Harry answered positioning the basin on the table

"What kind of memory?" Hermione asked

"In order to be sure to change ONLY what it needs to be changed I made sure to memorize whatever happened at school so to know WHEN to act and when to stay on the side-line, unfortunately since few students died during Voldemort attack I couldn't have the whole picture, but a plan never fully survive its enacting" Harry said moving his wand to his head to take out few silver strands to add to the pensieve

"You took the memories of every students of Hogwarts?!" Ron said

"Not only them, but also few members of the staff, Mr. Filch, few owners of stores at Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley or members of the Ministry and guests of Azkaban...you have no idea how many people I had to Bribe, Blackmail, Ask or downright Plea to have those" Harry said positioning the last memory in the basin

"Why you didn't ask for help?"

"Too many people in this research would have called too much attention, I was under the Polyjuice Potion while I was looking for the right elements so to impede people from re-enact the ritual in case I succeed, just to be sure I Obbliviated whoever helped/saw me and destroyed to nothingness the places and/or documents detailing what I found, Time is a fragile thing, contrary to a Time-turner this may have Catastrophic results in case of Paradoxes" Harry said watching the others with tired eyes

"Okay, we trust you...so? When do we start?" Hermione asked hugging him

"WE?" Ron asked with wide eyes

"Yes, Ronald! WE! You two could and will create a mess after another if I am not with you remembering to your thick skulls that none of us is immortal...and I want to be the personal tutor of my past-self, may as well help little Mione to have a better time at school" Hermione said smiling

"If you put it like that, I can train myself a little too, I was on the side-lines too many times when I could have helped us directly, a little spell to change hair colour and face structure and we will be fine..." Ron said nodding

"Guys, it doesn't work like that"

"What do you mean, Harry?"

"Hermione, this thing will tear away our Souls, Magical Core and Minds before shooting them in the past and forcefully shove them inside our younger bodies, I don't know if this Future will still exist as we enter a new Timeline or just disappear, if ever, we will leave behind a cold, probably mangled corpse while our essence is sent back" Harry explained

"That sounds like really painful" a deathly pale Ron said trembling

"Probably, but being somehow incorporeal will make the trip easier, that's why I wanted to go alone, the minimal mistake and the soul may go in a time period while the core into another! and that would be unpleasant, if I fail at least you will be there for Ginny" Harry answered

"No, mate! That is another reason for me to come with you, my sister will kill me if she discover that I left you to die instead of stopping you, it's either this trip in Time or a Dementor's kiss for me" Ron said grabbing the other shoulders

"Whatever, so, Harry? When it will be ready?" Hermione asked

"Two weeks, the stones are finishing charging, then I will use them to build the portal, if you want to come with me use this time to build a believable reason as to why the three of us died a similar death" Harry said watching the pile of rock at the wall

"Good, I will take a look at the ritual itself, another point of view may help adjusting the final touches, we'll say that I found an ancient artifact and you two wanted to help me, for the Wizarding world we will be victims of Dark Magic, this should be enough to explain our demise" Hermione said collecting books and notes from the table

"I'll send and owl to George so he will keep Ginny company while we are away for that mission, like this he will be already there with her once our death becomes public knowledge" Ron said

"Be sure to cover the kids' future as well, if we are lucky this future will cease to exist and they won't grow alone, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared" Harry said giving to Hermione the last details of the research

"Okay, we'll see again in two weeks then, where do we meet?" Ron asked

"I'll send an owl with the details, don't worry" Harry answered as the three left the room

Two weeks later – Area of the Ritual -

The plain where Harry built the portal was now occupied by an huge stone gate, an altar stood in front of it with on the floor the drawing of a pentagram surrounded by runes, glowing in an ominous red light beating like an heart.

"Here we are" Hermione said as she and Ron apparated in the site

"I smelled Dark Magic from a mile away, let's hope it works" Ron said watching the whole thing

"I hope so too, but now we have another problem" Harry said

"What kind of problem? For what I saw the ritual should be perfect" Hermione said

"It depends on your point of view...how do you see being sorted into Slytherin this time?" Harry asked

"Slytherin? Why? Why should it be different?" Ron asked

"We are going back in time with the knowledge, power and our soul, the only difference will be that we are physically younger, to complete our mission without the others knowing we will be forced to be cunning and work from the shadows!" Hermione said in realization

"Noo! I already had an hard time when I was forced to have class with Malfoy and during Potions with Snape, I won't spend everyday with those two as house-mate and head of house!" Ron said crossing his arms

"We can try and ask the Sorting Hat to put us in Griffyndor, last time it worked for me, a tiny use of Occlumency will help us keep the Time Trip out of that thing eyes" Harry said

"Okay, let's get over with" Harmione said moving towards the altar

"Sorry! MY research, MY Ritual!" Harry said gently pushing the woman away

"Uff! I wanna play with the Fabric of Reality, Harry!" Hermione whined

"Next time okay?" Ron said trying to calm her down

Taking out of his robes two vials Harry started chanting the start of the ritual

"Bones of the Past, You will show us the Path!" As the first vial was opened a white dust flew out, forming a circle in the middle of the gate

"Dragon's bones" Hermione muttered

"Tears of the Future, You will open the Door!" Just like the first one, once opened, the content of the vial flew towards the gate mixing and twisting with the white dust until a black Void was formed inside the gate, now opened on an endless Darkness

"Tears of a newborn baby" the red haired minister muttered again

"Blood of the present, You will pay for our passing!" Harry said biting his thumb, few red drops flew to the portal, making the rocks glow in a red aura.

"Blood of the summoner"

"As the Gate is open, Present, Past and Future are now meaningless words in front of the Majestic power of the Gods, hear our plea and let us pass thorough the currents of the Eternity! Chronos, Titan of time! Let us pass! Let us pass! LET US PASS!" Harry yelled as the ritual reached its end

With a last Roar! That made the earth tremble the black void in the gate switched into a watery image of Hogwarts, showing several boats approaching the school from the lake

"Our first year!" Ron said excitedly watching as their past-selves were sorted

"Now we need to choose when we will go back, I was planning for the day of my birthday when Hagrid came to give me my letter, but since you two INSIST on coming with me...any request?" Harry asked turning to the other two

"Can we change it into two months before that? It should be during that time that my parents took me to buy my wand, I want to feel again the emotion of the choice!" Hermione asked

"Me too, Mum gave me my wand probably few weeks later, but I want to spend some time with Fred and George before school starts" Ron said nodding

"FINE! But you two owe me two months of Hell, remember it!" Harry said touching the runes on the altar with his wand, the image switching to a young boy wearing glasses sleeping in a cupboard.

"I forgot where those bastards kept you" Hermione said sadly

"Don't worry, I already have a plan for them, the Ministry say that an underage wizard can't do magic outside of school, but Potions are not contemplated...or won't be until dear Hermione here will become Minister herself" Harry said smirking

"That's better, I'll be sure me and Ron will repay you for your sacrifice" Hermione said smiling

"Now, let's go! I'll activate the demolition charges around the place, after we passed the door the timed Portkeys will take our bodies to the incident area and few seconds later the several charges I left around will pulverize this thing, no-one will be able to use this ritual ever again after us" Harry said nearing the door

"I am scared!" Ron said

"You always are" Hermione answered

"HEY!" the red head yelled indignantly as the laughing trio jumped inside the portal, towards their past and NEW future.

Little Whining- n.4 Pivet Drive- Dursley's Home – Cupboard under the stairs – Past (present) -

After feeling his body being turned inside-out before being shredded and forcefully put back together while on fire, the now young again Harry was looking at the ceiling of his room with burning eyes and a sore body feeling like a cinder block, a pounding headache trying to open his head in two

"WAKE UP, FREAK! YOU HAVE A BREAKFAST TO PREPARE!" the suave voice of Vernon Dursley resounded like a drill in the young boy's head

"Ron, Hermione...I fucking hate you two with every fiber of my malnourished, scrawny being!" Harry thought angrily.

Two months with the Dursley were as terrible as Harry remembered, but thanks to his past experience he managed to stay out of troubles, the only problem was re-enacting the whole day his letter for Hogwarts arrived, but he hadn't spent days reviewing memories in a Pensieve for nothing.

"ENOUGH!" Finally Vernon yelled as the STORM of letters from Hogwarts completely invaded the kitchen of Number 4 Pivet Drive.

As expected the whole family transferred in the run-down construction in the middle of the F-ing Nowhere, curiously, Harry found himself smiling fondly at the smell of sea water while counting the time before his birthday

"Come on!...Come on!" Harry growled mentally as the watch on Duddley's fat arm reached Midnight with an excruciating slowness

BANG! BANG!

The thundering noise of Hagrid over-sized hands knocking at the door reached the boy's ears with a split-second precision

"FINALLY!" He yelled in his head as he erased the drawing he made using the dust on the floor, last time it was a birthday cake.

This time a picture of Harry choking Dumbledore with amazing details and precise cure of prospective

"'Ere ya are Harry! Methinks it's 'bout time ya read dat letter!" Hagrid said with a goofy grin handling Harry the One-hundred-Trice-damned letter to read.

"After this...SCREW the time-line and on to Business! The world won't save himself if I play the idiot the whole time!" Harry remembered himself as he Re-played the whole meeting at perfection, but the emotion he felt as Hagrid took out the Home-made birthday cake was totally real, he never forgot how good it felt receiving that little sweet.

Diagon Alley – the next day – Gringotts -

"Good day Griphook! We are here for Harry's vault" Hagrid said showing a little key to the goblin after emptying his pockets on the small creature's desk

"...And...about tha' Little...Ya Know what in the Vault Ya know Which" Hagrid whispered showing a parchment as well

"Maybe I should say something like: You mean the Philosopher Stone, Hagrid?" Harry thought grinning to himself before abandoning the idea, he won't screw up everything...for now at least

"Come with me, please" Griphook said gesturing them to follow

"Griphook, sir...can I make a request?" Harry asked bowing deeply

"What can I do for you?" the creature asked with a pleasured sneer, just like every goblin he loved when a wizard showed respect

Taking out a little piece of paper he previously wrote Harry signalled to the Goblin to read

"...Uhm! Of course, if it proves right I can't see any problem with that, I'll take care of everything, Mr. Potter, it will cost a little extra, but nothing too expensive" Griphook said nodding with a serious expression

"Thank you for your help Griphook, sir!" Harry said bowing again

"Whad'ya asked him?" Hagrid asked curious

"Sorry, it's a secret regarding and Gringotts" Griphook said making the paper burst into flames

"Don't worry Hagrid, I just asked if I could work here one day, above other things" Harry lied with a beaming smile

"Then why didn't ya said so normally?" the half-giant asked

"Because it's a secret, in case I am no good as a wizard" Harry answered

"Gringotts is not like the Muggles banks, Harry! the Goblins don't take everyone, but I know ya will be a great wizard, you'll be fine with Dumbledore" Hagrid said patting Harry's head, making the boy's knees bend under the pressure

"Just don't tell anyone, okay?" Harry asked watching Hagrid nod

"If everything goes as I think, by night Old Dumber will be informed of this and the REAL request should stay a secret" Harry thought with a smile, for once the inability of Hagrid about keeping secrets was being useful

The brief visit to the goblin bank ended rapidly and now it was time for a little shopping for clothes, books, trunks and his wand above other things, the only difference from the last time was the fact that the pouch where Harry stored his money was directly linked to the Potter Vault so to withdraw all the money he needed, Griphook's smile when he did as Harry asked in the paper was downright creepy, but asking that pouch and a little favour for later in exchange of an Horcrux in the Lestrange Vault and the materials from a sixty-feet long Basilisk was deemed a good exchange apparently.

They even gave him half the vault content as payment for his information, a small fortune always helps.

"Ya know? I'll think that I'll buy an animal for ya...an owl! Everyone loves owls!" Hagrid said once they reached Ollivander's wand Emporium

"I'll go to buy a wand then" Harry answered as the two separated

Just like last time he had met Draco while taking measurements for his school robe, and just like last time Draco was a bigoted git bent on Pure-blood Supremacy.

"Now that I think about it...there was something different between the Young Draco and the one I knew and hate..."Harry whispered while entering

"AAH! Mister Potter! Finally you come to my little store, WONDERFUL!" Ollivander said smiling at the boy

"I am here for my first wand" Harry answered, differently from his previous life Hagrid wasn't here this time, but he couldn't wait to feel again his wand accepting him, smirking as the magical tape kept taking measures of him he waited.

"We will start right away then! let's see...this! Oak, ten inches, Unicorn's hair Core" Ollivander said giving to Harry a slender wand to try

"I have to swing it?" Harry asked moving his wand

A near chair exploded in a ball of fire

"No, I don't think that this is the right one" Ollivander said taking away the wand

"Before I forgot" the Wand-maker said giving Harry a pair of protective goggles

"Why?" Harry asked, this hadn't happened before

"I had few...issues recently, so I took precautions" Ollivander said wearing a pair of goggles himself

"Ookay! Any other wand?" Harry asked

For the next two hours Harry kept trying a wand after another, leaving the shop in complete disarray with Ollivander hiding behind the counter during each try

"A difficult customer, I wonder..." Ollivander said reaching the back of the shop

"Here it is!" Harry thought happily as his wand was FINALLY being took

"Let's try this...11 inches, Holly, Core made with a Phoenix Feather" Ollivander said giving the wand to the boy

"Uh?" Harry muttered as the wand felt only slightly warm to the touch, once he tried to move it the little object exploded like a grenade, launching Harry against the wall, as he saw few splinters embedded on the goggles he understood why he was wearing them.

"It's the third time in the last two months that something like that happen, the girl was fine, luckily she received just few scratches, for the other boy I had to administer Healing spells to take away splinters from his eyes...and turning his nose back from being a turnip" Ollivander said dusting his clothes

"Are wands supposed to do that?" Harry asked groaning, still incredulous that his old wand exploded in his hand

"No, it happens usually when the magical core of a wizard is too much for a destined wand to handle, even if a reaction strong like this never happened before, luckily the other two could still find a good wand here, so let's keep searching and..." Ollivander said before a white blur teared down the door of his shop tackling Harry, making him fall down again

"Harry!" Hagrid yelled running inside the store, finding a snow white owl hooting happily while smothering Harry's hair

"Hello girl!" Harry said hugging his old friend

"Quite an affectionate owl I have to say" Ollivander said smiling

"I was talking with a friend in the store, I justa said that I wanted an owl and once that one saw me she teared away the cage and came here, I can take another if ya don't like" Hagrid said

"No-no! I love it, she is wonderful" Harry said as Hedwig rested on his shoulder with a satisfied shriek!

"She was my companion, maybe her magic remembered me" he thought

"Well, before this adorable interruption took place...I was wondering if Mister Potter would have helped me with a little project of mine" Ollivander said gesturing Harry to follow him

"Of course, sir" Harry said following, Hedwig still on his shoulder, adamant on staying with him.

"You see, the art of Wand Creation and crafting is a focal point in my family, one of my ancestors is said to have crafted the FIRST wand ever, are you following?" Ollivander said as they reached a room in the back

"Of course, sir" Harry answered

"I hope you can imagine then what kind of impact a story like that may have on a young boy as I was when I started my studies of the Wandlore traditions of the Ollivander Family, well, I am a little ashamed to admit that I was a little...Cocky shall we say" The man said unlocking a safe hidden behind a painting in the study they entered.

"What are you trying to say, sir?" Harry asked

"Do you know the Tale of Three Brothers, ? It's an old fairy-tale. In this story it is mentioned a particular wand, voices described it as the most powerful wand ever existed" the man answered

"But if it came from a fairy-tale, then it doesn't exist" Harry said, the image of the Elder Wand clearly in his mind

"Oh yes, yes it is perfectly possible to trace the wand's course through history instead. There are gaps, of course, and long ones, where it vanishes from view, temporarily lost or hidden; but it always resurfaces. It has certain identifying characteristics that those who are learned in wandlore recognize...Whether it needs to pass by murder, I do not know. Its history is bloody, but that may be simply due to the fact that it is such a desirable object, and arouses such passions in wizards. Immensely powerful, dangerous in the wrong hands, and an object of incredible fascination to all of us who study the power of wands." (A/N directly from DH that I don't own)

"And you found it?" Harry asked knowing the answer already

"Unfortunately not, but this is not the reason I am telling you this, my boy...here" Ollivander said taking out a long wooden box from the safe

"What is it?" the boy asked

"As I said I was a young man that was just at the beginning of his career, it was right after my apprenticeship in wandlore ended when I heard of that wand and learned that it wasn't an Ollivander to craft it...Let's say that I wasn't exactly happy" Ollivander said blushing slightly

"What did you do, sir? If I can ask" Harry asked

"I did what you youngsters call throwing a tantrum and started researching the materials used in that wand in the hope of creating a BETTER version of it...I even went against another young wandlore student named Gregorovitch that I...Hexed for the materials for my project" he answered as his blush increased

"And this is that wand?"

"Yes, Mister Potter, I don't know if between the Elder Wand and my Black Rod which one is the best, what I ask you is, if this wand chose you, to send me a monthly owl with your experience with it, telling me if it answer to your will or if you feel that it doesn't recognize you as its master...this is the FIRST wand I ever made, please take care of it" Ollivander said moving out of the room

"I don't know what to say, sir" Harry said in awe

"The truth is...I was waiting for you, Harry, hoping that none other wand in my shop would have been good enough for you so to take this out, had that being impossible, I would have destroyed it" Ollivander admitted as they reached again the counter where Hagrid was waiting

"Why?" Harry asked

"Let me show you...Eleven Inches, Elder Wood, core of Hungarian Horntail's Heart-strings, the handle is in black onyx and blue sapphire" Ollivander said taking out the wand.

The handle was opaque-black in colour, in the middle could be seen two blue gems cut in a crescent moon shape positioned at the opposite side shining in the room light, the dull grey wood of the wand was crafted in high details to show three snakes coiling around the whole length before joining at their chins forming the tip of the wand

"That's a good wand, Ollivander...but why an Horntail? Those are a bunch of angry fella!" Hagrid said clapping his hands at the wand

"Dark and powerful dragons whose powerful heart or bones are never used for wands, exception made in this one I am giving to you, Mister Potter, the particular dragon of its core was a vicious beast that the Trainers were forced to kill before he could exterminate the others in the reserve, the Biggest, meanest and most Blood-lusted dragon of a species of already violent creatures. One of the men responsible of his care dared to call him the You-know-who of the dragon-kind due to his viciousness and power" Ollivander admitted making Hagrid cringe at the comparison

"Can I try it?" Harry asked

"Of course and don't worry, someone said that the Elder wood is an unlucky material for wands, but the truth is that only a powerful and...peculiar wizard can handle it properly, the black onyx, even if accosted to the Dark Arts, is very protective and is believed to bring good luck to its owner as well as guarding them against spells and curses, rebounding or 'mirroring' negative energy back to the person who sent it. It can also be used to increase endurance and bring hope even in the darkest depths of despair...knowing your story, my boy, I think it may be in good hands" Ollivander said handing the wand to Harry.

It was like being splashed with frozen-cold water, a sense of dumbness spreading through the arm to his whole being before a warm feeling overcame everything else, smiling he moved the wand making a spray of golden sparks come out of the tip.

"WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! Hohohoho!" Ollivander said laughing happily clapping to himself

"It feels...good" Harry said smiling

"Here-here! Take the holster, I made it just in case! It has a little spell that will make it grow with you, the head it's made with the bone of the same dragon of the core!" An ecstatic Ollivander said giving a black walking stick to Harry

"A cane?" the boy said

"After Lucius Malfoy asked me one I thought it could have been a good addiction, as long as it is inside the cane the wand can't be summoned or snapped by another, a spell will summon both back to your hands, the anti-thief charm, protective charm and silver tip at the end are all goblin-made!" he answered with a beaming smile

"How much? This seem expensive" Harry asked polishing the dragon head at the top of the stick

"Ten Galleons for the wand plus other six for the stick" Ollivander answered simply

"SIXTEEN GALLEONS FOR A WAND!? ARE YA CRAZY!?" Hagrid yelled

" Mister Potter knows the story behind it" The old man answered shrugging

"Here, I'll take both!" Harry said grinning while paying and watching the old man connecting the wand to the holster

"Thank you, and please remember our deal!" Ollivander said as the Half-giant and the boy left the shop

"He pay sixteen galleons for a wand...Bugger! money don't grow on trees, Harry! I know that...I tried!" Hagrid mumbled angrily while going on with the shopping

"I wonder how the old coot will take the fact that a SECOND elder wand is in my hands, I hope he gets jealous!" Harry thought smiling evilly

(Hey! I wanted a cool wand for him, okay!? It took me three days just for coming out with this, I hope it wasn't too much ^ ^)

Hogwarts Express – half-way towards the School -

"God! Molly couldn't be more obvious in her acting! I must have been a little idiot to fall for that!" Harry grunted as he finally sat in an empty compartment

"HARRY!" Hermione said hugging fiercely the boy

"Mione! Finally, how were those two months?" he asked

"Good! I even used a little accidental magic to adjust a little problem of mine" Hermione said smiling, showing PERFECT teeth to her friend

"Eager, aren't you? Couldn't wait the fourth year" Harry said grinning

"Shut up or I'll make you!" She said

"How do you plan to shut me up?" Harry asked

"Like this" she said sitting on his lap and kissing him

"UUUMPH!" Harry said in surprise before returning the kiss

"Keep your hands where I can see them, Potter!" A playful voice said from the door

"RON! I swear it is not my fault! I..." Harry tried saying

"I believed we were friends!" Ron said glaring at him

"Ow shut up, you two! I know you talked before the trip, I can read lips very well so your silencing spell was useless, Ronniekins!" Hermione said sticking out her tongue

"At least remember that before the fourth year you two can't do anything else other than snogging" Ron said sitting down in front of them, Hermione still on Harry's lap

"Did you...did you saw my Toad?" A plump boy asked entering

"I saw it in the compartment next to this" Ron said pointing towards the head of the train

"Thank you, Gran would have killed me, my name is Neville Longbottom" Nevile said smiling

"We are Harry, Ron and Hermione, nice to meet you" Hermione said pointing at the others

"Are you two...you know..." Nevile asked blushing watching the position Hermione was in

"Yes, we know each other since forever" Harry answered

"Well, I better go or I will never catch Trevor" Neville said leaving

"We need to help him coming out of his shell, maybe presenting him Luna before the time will be enough, it may help him knowing his future wife sooner" Harry said

"Absolutely! the sausages at their wedding were amazing!" Ron said nodding eagerly

"Already thinking about food?" Hermione asked smirking

"Hey! I am a growing boy! I need plenty of nutrients to grow healthy and strong!" Ron said crossing his arms

"Whatever, here Harry, this is yours" Hermione said taking out a parchment

"THE MARAUDERS MAP! How?" Harry said grabbing the magical map

"You forgot that it was in possession of my twin brothers, before coming here I took it from Fred's trunk, they should discover its disappearance riiight..." Ron said looking at where the twins were

"THE MAAAAAP!" two people yelled in horror at the same time

"Now" the red haired boy said smirking

"You are evil" Harry said as the three laughed together

"Oh! We met Draco, he won't pester us this time" Hermione said

"Why?" Harry asked

"A certain Granger hexed them to stay with their arse glued to their seats until we arrive" Ron answered

"I told you! My hand slipped over the wand, launching the sticking charm! The law about underage magic doesn't count on the train for some reason" Hermione said glaring at him

"What about the wands? I bet yours exploded too" Harry said watching the other nod their heads

"Yep! My mother screamed like a banshee when my brother's wand did that the first time, when at Ollivander it happened again she almost lost it, luckily Dad managed to use the always good we are a pure-blood family to reassure the old man that we would have payed the whole sum for a new wand, for once the bigotry helped me, three galleons at the moment we took this and other three the last month" Ron said showing a long white wand

"The same goes for me, Professor McGonagall had to restrain Dad from jumping Ollivander after the incident, I guess taking back our Older Magical Core and fusing it with our Younger one was too much for the old wands" Hermione said

"How is breathing through a turnip?" Harry asked grinning

"NO. COMMENT. POTTER!" Ron hissed as his ears turned scarlet

Hogwarts – Hall – Sorting Ceremony

Because I am the Sorting cap! The old Hat finished its song as McGonagall come forward with the list of students ready to be called.

"So? What do you think? Gryffindor or Slitherin?" Harry thought waiting for Ron and Hermione to read his thoughts with light Legilimancy

"Sorry, but I don't want to go to the snake-pit!"Ron whined mentally

"Don't be a baby, Ron! We are way above their level, even if we are sorted there they can't touch us!" Hermione reprimanded

"Granger Hermione!" McGonagall called out

"Now or never" the girl sighed as she moved towards the Hat

"Well, well, well! What do we have here!" The Sorting Hat said aloud before falling silent until...

"SLYTHERIN!" the Hat yelled aloud

"WHAT!?" Ron and Harry screamed

"Trust me, follow what he said, apparently we have two allies in this mission!" Hermione thought making the other two read her

"I hope she knows what she is saying" Ron muttered

"Malfoy Draco" McGonagall called as the blond boy strolled confidently towards her

"I am going to surprise you, blondie" The Sorting Hat said with an evil smirk on his face

"GRYFFINDOR!" The Hat yelled with unadulterated glee seeing the horrified face of Draco

"THERE MUST BE A MISTAKE! I AM A MALFOY! A MALFOOOOYYYY!" Draco yelled as two grinning Weasley twins grabbed an arm each to drag the blond boy to the table screaming and kicking

"That's rich! Lucius will have an heart failure hearing this!" Harry said laughing

"Potter Harry!" McGonagall said still smirking at Severus Snape's desperate face after Draco's sorting

"Here we are, what to do with you?" The Hat said before falling silent

"I get that you and Mione talked, how much do you know?" Harry mentally asked

"Enough to say...How in Merlin's name did you do it!? Old man Salazar never managed to build that portal! once I tell him what happened he will certainly come to you whining to know what he did wrong!" The Hat answered

"So Dumbledore will know of our little trip?" Harry asked

"No, I said that I will tell Salazar and maybe Godric too, but they won't tell anything, about me knowing instead...Little Potter should know that Magic is above things like Time and Space (and Common sense too if you ask me) how do you think a wizard would be able to turn a matchstick into a needle otherwise? Rules don't apply when magic is present, Me and Fawkes will help you, God knows you three can make things different" Hat answered

"So? Why Slitherin?" Harry asked

"Do you three want to screw Dumbledork, Molly and Voldy's plans? Start by throwing their planning out of the window from the very beginning by going in the Evil house and go on from there!"

"Okay, but you'll need to tell Ron as well, he may start panicking otherwise" Harry said

"Perfectly reasonable...ah! Check Snape, appearance are deceiving" The Hat said

"Appearance? Can you be more clear?"

"No"

"Charmed to not tell anyone?"

"Exactly" The Hat answered with a sad tone

"We'll take care of that, don't worry, we will count on you and Fawkes" Harry said

"Thank you, now, since for now there is nothing else that we need to talk about, get ready to see Snape whine like a baby, because your NEW House iiiis...SLYTHERIN!" The Hat said mentally before yelling the House name

"NNNNOOOOOOOOOO!" Snape yelled jumping over the teachers table, trying to choke the Sorting Hat

"SORT HIM AGAIN! SORT HIM AGAIN, YOU BLASTED ACCESSORY!" Snape yelled before a Stunning Spell courtesy of the minute professor Flitwick centred him on the back

"I think that a little rest will help Professor Snape to better accept this...don't worry, Potter, I am sure that he will be happy to have you in his House" the little professor said levitating the unconscious potion master to his place at the table

"It would be more credible if you believed that yourself, professor" Harry said

"I tried at least" Flitwick answered shrugging his shoulders

"We will proceed with the remaining names" McGonagall said before glaring at the Sorting Hat.

The son of two of her favourite cubs in the snake pit?

BLASPHEMY! ALBUS WILL HEAR HER RESENTMENT!

"What Happened, Gerald? Why he is not in MY house?" Albus mentally asked to the Hat, anger evident in his voice

"My work is to sort, Albus, no-one can force me to send a student where he doesn't belong! Not even YOU! He is Smart, Loyal and Brave, yes, but his Cunning Side triumph above anything else, accept it! " he said before ending the communication

Slytherin Table -

"Don't worry, Potter, must of us are not Death Eaters in training, stick with me and Millicent and we will make sure to guide you towards the good ones in the group, I am Blaise Zabini by the way, second year" Blaise said shaking Harry's hand

"And I am Millicent Bulstrode, first year" a rather...Big girl said smiling and waving at Harry

"My first year too, I am Daphne Greengrass, I know that a friendship between us will bring mutual benefices, opposite to several followers of the old times our families have a more open view of Muggle-born and Muggle-raised wizards, your friends won't be criticized...from us at least" Daphne said in a polite, cold tone after moving a strand of her blond hair away from her eyes as she pointed at her, Millicent and Blaise

"I was raised by Muggles as well, I hope it is not a problem" Harry said

"The Potters were famous, Harry, in your case even the most bigots, excluding the Malfoys, will overlook that detail, I am Theodore Nott at your service, scar-head!" Theodore said smirking

"I am moved by the nickname, it must have took you a lot of time to think about it! It's SO original!" Harry said in fake awe

"Eh! I just met you! To create a perfect nickname it takes a lot of effort and intelligence" Nott answered

"Then you will never give him one, Teddy!" Millicent said smirking

"SHUT IT, MILLIE!" Theodore said angrily

"Why you two don't take a room somewhere?" Hermione said

"WITH WHO? HIM/HER? NEVER!" the two yelled at the same time

"You know what? My father used to be a Death Eater...I guess I'll piss him off and become your friend!" Theodore -Teddy- said smirking

"How do you know that we WILL become friends?" Harry asked

"How could you not? No-one can resist my charme, I am just too cool to ignore! And You-know-who was a megalomaniac if you ask me, moving war to the WHOLE Wizarding World...foolish is just not enough to describe it" Teddy said shaking his head and whispering the last comment about Voldemort

"If you say so" Harry said smirking

"Weasley Ronald!" McGonagall called

"This is a thing I want to see! Wanna bet he will be sorted here?" Harry said

"A Weasley? Here? Impossible, those are so Light that the sun shine out of their asses!" Blaise said pointing at the red-head

"Ten galleons!" Harry said

"I am in!" Blaise answered

"I say Ravenclaw instead" Millicent said

"Then is Hufflepuff for me, he doesn't look like a Gryffindork!" Theodore said

"TEDDY!" Millicent yelled

"Hey! A lot of them are arse-holes, you can't deny it!" the tall boy answered

"SLYTHERIN" the Hat yelled as the room fell silent

"Money, please!" Harry's sing-song voice resounded in the quiet room as the three mumbling Slytherins payed up the bet.

"Mum will kill Dumbledore" George Weasley said as the youngest male Weasley joined Harry and Hermione at the Green-and-Silver table

"Especially when the news of Harry being there as well reach her ears, brother" Fred answered

"Sigh! Whyyy?!" a certain greasy head wailed silently

"Severus! What are you doing!?" Professor Sprout said as she was watching Snape crying with his head down facing the table, a long, animal-like whine escaping him

"A WEASLEY AND POTTER! A WEASLEY AND POTTER! Why Salazar! Why I must be punished like this!? Just let me die!" Snape whined with yet another sigh and a noiseless blowing of his beck-like nose

"Maybe it's better for you to lay down a little, you seem stressed" professor Vectror said

"T-T-that's t-true, S-Severus! Y-you need to c-control y-y-yourself" Professor Quirrel said stuttering

"AAAARGH!" Snape yelled enraged, trying to reach for the Turban-wearing man to choke him

"STUPEFY!" the whole teacher table (minus Albus and Hagrid) yelled as several stunning spells rained on the Greasy-haired man, obliterating his shield and launching him at the other side of the hall.

"Prefects, please take care of the rest as your Head of House will be unable to take care of his duties until tomorrow" McGonagall said at the Slytherin's prefects, a satisfied smirk on her face as she was using a levitation spell to take Snape to the infirmary.

"It went better than I thought, for an instant I believed he would have attacked us" Harry said smiling

"Why professor Snape hates you so much?" Millicent asked

"When he was a student he fell in love with my mother, those two were great friends and she used to defend him whenever my father and his Marauders attacked him with a prank, one day Snape was arguing with Sirius Black, My father's friend, when my mother tried to have the two resonate the greasy git called her "Mudblood" completely destroying their friendship, when my parents married his hate exploded, to him I am a constant remainder of the fact that James Potter Stolen his girl...as if it was my fault to begin with" Harry explained

"So he is basically throwing a tantrum since he was at school? Whining like a little girl because the woman he loved married the man she loved instead of someone that insulted her deeply?" Teddy asked

"In a word? Yes" Harry answered nodding

"Oh Merlin! That's pathetic, so he will try to make you miserable because he hate your father and you remember him of his nemesis, hey Daphne, do you think they make a potion to give someone a functional brain?" Millicent asked

"If it exist, I fear that Professor Snape will be immune to its effects" Daphne answered

"Okay, we need a plan here, guys! Harry? You, Granger and Weasley seem to be friends already, right?" Theodore asked

"Yes, we know Harry since forever" Ron answered

"Good! You two together with us should be enough to help our little celebrity survive Snape's tortures, I know few guys in the Fifth and Sixth year that knows him better than anyone, they should be able to give us suggestions about how to appease the jealous git" Zabini said nodding

"Thank you, I don't know what to say" Harry said

"You are in Slytherin, Harry, people don't know this, but above the four Houses WE are the ones with the greatest Unity between its members, when the whole facility only see you as a group of Dark Wizards you tend to keep your friends close to better watch your back, inside the common room you will be safe, I assure you that" Blaise said patting Harry's back

"The only problem of our House is that few of its members past and present choose to follow the Darkest path of Magic, we are cunning people, not Death Eaters" A red head from Third year interjected from in front of Harry

"Carson is right, Potter, my father works as mediator with the Goblins and was sorted here, but he would more likely cut his arm instead to have a Dark Mark there" a pale girl said nodding

"My father said that I should follow his steps and join the Dark Lord...but I am not sure" a plump boy said looking around

"Vincent Crabble, Right? You and Goyle should think with your own heads instead of waiting for someone to do the thinking for you" Hermione said

"Are you sure?" Goyle asked

"We'll help you" she answered smiling

"Thank you!" the two boys said happily

"Who would have known, two Death Eaters less if we play this right" Harry thought

"First year! First Year with me!" A Slytherin Prefect called out as the dinner ended

"Let's go, Percy's stare is creeping me out" Ron muttered as they moved towards dungeons

That Night – Slytherin Male dorm -

"Harry? Ron?" a feminine voice whispered

"Here, Hermione" Harry whispered back as he opened the curtains of his bed, Ron was sitting near him

"I have to say that those control wards Snape used on the beds were a pain to disable" Hermione said as she removed the disillusionment Spell on herself

"Don't tell me, my bed had the worst ones, casually of course" Harry said snarling

"Whatever, mate! So, what's the plan?" Ron asked as the privacy spell was re-cast around the bed the three were occupying

"First we need to keep him under control" Harry said

"You mean Scabbers...or Peter?" Ron said with an evil smirk as he showed a tiny cage where a white rat was moving around in terror

"Hello, Peter! Remember me?" Harry said smiling as well

"A little spell to make the cage unbreakable and send a little shock every time he tries to run or transform and he was trapped, he can't even hear or see what we say or do" Ron said triumphantly

"Good, with him blocked we will be able to free Sirius before the time, I think we should take possession of the Room of Requirement tomorrow and make it our Base, from there we will be able to prepare every element useful for our mission" Hermione said nodding

"Perfect, I hope you'll forgive me, but this time I will have the pleasure to show to Snape how good we are in potions! I never digested that first lesson, Where can I find a Bezoar, Potter? What an arse!" Harry said grinning

"Me too, only you two can call me Know-it-all without being hexed into oblivion, I take you two won't take Trelawney's class this time, right?" She asked

"And have my gruesome death predicted every ten minutes? Not likely, I'll take Runes this time" Harry answered

"As you wish, so we have a first plan then: Take the Room of Requirement, Free Sirius, stop Quirrel..." Hermione said

"I say we take the philosopher stone and switch it with a fake, when Quirrel reach for it he won't have what he need" Ron suggested

"True, and let's be honest...turning any metal into gold sounds appalling" Harry said

"HARRY!" Hermione yelled

"Hey! We may need funding to change the Wizarding world, I am not suggesting the Immortality power, but you have to admit that back there if we had some more money few changes you made would have happened sooner, we'll just use that money for the right cause" the bespectacled boy said

"And buy us an island or two" Ron interjected

"That too, even the good guys needs a place to relax" Harry said

"FINE! But the gold will be used to help the others and THEN sate your greed" Hermione said

"OUR Greed, Granger! We both know that you wanted to buy Flourish&Blotts since you were eleven, and we had our ears almost bleeding for all times you whined about being forbidden to use Hogwarts library freely, all that gold and you will probably go on a shopping spree about books" Ron said glaring at her

"...You have no proofs about that" she answered blushing

"Before we go to sleep and start the plan...maybe it's better if I show this now" Harry said looking down

"Show us what?" Ron asked

"We may have a little problem in this mission" Harry said still refusing to look at them

"What's happening? What are you talking about?" Hermione asked worried

"Look..." Harry said summoning his wand.

Moving his hand with little jerks a thin silver smoke came out of the tip, forming an image resembling a face

"What are you doing?" Ron asked

"Hi! Can you hear me?" the Face said moving an opening it had as mouth

"Y-Yes? W-who are you?" Hermione asked

"Ron, Hermione, nice to meet you!" the juvenile voice said happily

"What...what's your name?" Ron asked getting paler

"Me? I am Tom Riddle of course!" the face said cheerfully making the other two go wide eyed.

Okay! Let's stop here with a little cliffy of sort!

As I asked in the First A/N (That I hope someone will read) this will be VOLDEMORT Bashing, not Tom Riddle bashing (The reason will be explained)

As for Harry's wand, I am a little confuse about the difference between Muggle Money and Wizards Money so tell me if I made his wand TOO expensive (Since it's Ollivander first wand he ever did and made with rare, expensive materials it is normal its price would be high) tell me and I'll change the price.

It's my first story about Harry, any suggestions to not go Cliché will be appreciated, Thank you ^ ^
