Bold writing means a narrator's interference with the story.
Italic writing means a character is thinking.
Underlined text means the setting for the next scene change.

Author's Note: AR means alternate reality. There will still be the same events of the regular Harry Potter books, but it will now have my own character Seth J. Alric included in those events.

Time Transcends Fate: An AR Harry Potter Story

Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.
Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called—WAIT! Wait just a minute. Everyone already knows this part of the story. Let's change the scene a bit, to the part that nobody knows about.

Chapter 1: A Narrow Escape

Ten years before Voldemort's downfall
The Alric Household

"EEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK!!"
Seth grinned as he knew his mother had met his scaly little friend that he had told to scare the crap out of his mother—without hurting her.
"SETH JADEN ALRIC!! I TOLD YOU TO GET RID OF THAT AWFUL SNAKE!"
Footsteps were heard coming up the stairs as his baby basilisk slid underneath the door, and up onto Seth's arm. The steps stopped at his door, and his mother rattled the locked door.
"Alohamora!"
The door rattled once more, and his mother cursed.
"I'll never know how you managed a locking spell this advanced at seven years of age, but that is beside the point. I told you to get rid of that thing!"
Seth grinned as he thought of how he managed to smuggle the tiny basilisk past his mother. He then frowned as he recalled how stiff of a light sided family he had. What was wrong with being able to talk to snakes? Just because that awful Voldemort could talk to them didn't make it an entirely dark trait. No one understood that, and that is why his mother continually tried to beat that trait out of him, and forbid him from having contact with snakes.
Like that would do anything. If you're born with it, you're stuck with it. …Last time I told her that, I lost quidditch privileges for a whole month.
"What makes you think that whatever you just saw was mine?"
"The fact that it just slithered into your room, that's what!"
…Ooops. Note to self: teach snake to be stealthy.
Seth tiptoed over to his bookcase where he had a timeturner hidden for times just like this. He tried to stall his mother while he reached for it.
"Mom, why do you think having a snake makes you evil!?"
"We've been through this already! It is not the fact that you HAVE a snake, it is the fact that you can TALK to the snake. I told you if you didn't talk to the snake, you could keep it, but you just can't seem to resist the temptation!"
Seth grinned as his hand finally touched the timeturner on his bookcase. He began to turn it slowly.
"I already told you that it is impossible for a parsletongue-"
He heard his mother gasp outside the door.
"-to have a snake and not talk to it."
He heard his mother sputtering angrily outside his door as she tried to find a response to this.He was halfway through the first turn of his timeturner when all of a sudden a green circle appeared under him. He couldn't move. His eyes looked panicked, but he didn't even have time to shout, because in a literal flash, he was gone.
"Seth…I know you're fond of that snake, but for our safety, it has to go."
His mother waited for a response from him.
"…Seth?"
There was a loud crash downstairs as the front door was blasted in. Seth's mother could hear shouting downstairs. She only had one thought at that time.
Oh no. He's here…and he wants to take Seth away.
She ran quickly down the stairs, only to gasp as she found her husband dead at the bottom. Voldemort was standing in front of the dead body. He sneered at her.
"Tell me where the boy is, and you'll live."
"N-no! Never! I'll never tell you where he is!"
"Your loss. I prefer it this way anyhow."
There was a hiss of Avada Kedavra, and a bright green light consumed the woman. Voldemort searched every room in the house, but cursed as he didn't find a single trace as to where the boy could have gone. As Voldemort left the house that night, it went up in flames, leaving no trace that there had been a house there at all, except for the dark mark floating above the ashy remains of a house.

Six Years before Salazar Slytherin's Death
Salazar's Study

Salazar smiled as the incantation flared the potion to life.
Just a few more minutes and everything will be in place.
A green circle appeared in front of Salazar. An instant afterward, Seth appeared with his timeturner in hand. As the green circle disappeared, movement returned to Seth's body. Confused, Seth turned toward Salazar.
"…Who are you?"
