Ok so I know that in real life the whole time turner fiasco happened, and Albus was a slytherin and no hate to them because I love slytherins but for this story to progress, I need him to be a gryffindor. Also the time turner thing never happened.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER!

Albus Severus Potter didn't understand his father. He said that his days at school were the "Dark Days" but from what he could tell, he got so much fame. He was a war hero. He was the savior of the wizarding world. He was Harry freakin Potter.

He also didn't get his name. He got James Sirius. He got Lily Luna. But Albus Severus? He was named after a murderer and the guy he murdered. But, according to his dad, the murderer was "brave". He. Didn't. Understand. What he did understand, though, was his classes.

Him and his cousin/best friend, Rose, were the smartest students in their year. They were even given time turners from Professor McGonagall so they could take every class given to them. They were officially some of the nerdiest Gryffindors ever, along with Remus Lupin, Lily Evans, Hermione Granger, and Teddy Lupin.

"Albus sweetie hurry up, we are going to be late!" called Ginny, his mum. Albus pushed his thoughts aside as he stood at the barrier between platforms nine and ten at Kings Cross. He took a breath and ran, straight through the barrier. When he got to platform 9 ¾, he saw Rose waiting there for him.

"Hey Albus" she said, giving him a hug. "Got everything you need for this year?" she motioned to her time turner and in return he held up his. They were ready for the year.

The two of them said goodbye to their parents, ditched their siblings (Rose had a brother Lily's age) and got on the train. They immediately started walking to the prefects compartment, where they would have been if someone had not come zooming by and making them fall over.

Unfortunately when they fell over, their time turners smashed. They emitted a weird smoke. Rose and Albus tried to hold their breath, but they just ended up having to take a breath at some point. the last thing Albus remembered was falling to the floor before everything went black.

" Harry. Harry. Harry! Wake up!" came a somewhat familiar female voice. Albus tiredly opened his eyes to see Rose standing before him. But wait it wasn't Rose. Rose had a red tint to her hair. this person didn't. Rose had freckles. this person didn't. what is going on? He didn't understand. He looked over to see Rose lying beside him, Uncle Ron hovered over her. Wait. why was uncle Ron on the train? And… wait. The girl above him kind of looked like Aunt Mione. And she just called him Harry. Albus scrambled around to find his time turner, but it wasn't there.

Well shit.

This is just great. How the hell did he and Rose get in the past?

"Um.. I'm not Harry. I'm Al" he said, holding out his hand. Albus for now because if what he thought was happening was happening, Dumbledore might still be alive.

"Wha..." her eyes gazed up at his forehead. "Oh! I'm so sorry! You just look exactly like our friend. Hermione" she said taking his hand. "What are you doing here? I've never seen you before."

Oh well my cousin and I are transfers from Spellwhizz Academy, you probably haven't heard of it. It is rather small." wow, he can really come up with lies. At least he knew Spellwhizz was a real place.

"Oh, ok. I'm in fifth year. My friend Ron and I were just coming back to the prefects compartment to go find our friend Harry."

"Harry Potter?" all of the heads turned to Rose, who seemed to have just woken up.

"Yeah" Ron said through gritted teeth. "Got anything bad to say about him?"

"No" Albus cut in quickly. "We had just heard of him, that's all" Ron's face relaxed a little bit.

"Do you need any help? Why were you passed out?" Asked Hermione, clearly still worried.

"No. Our other cousins thought it would be funny to put some pass out gas in a container for us."

"oh , well if you need anything, let us know" and then Ron and Hermione got up and left, to go find Albus's seemingly fifteen year old dad.

"What just happened?" asked Rose. And so he told her his theory about how they time traveled and how he thinks those two people were her fifteen year old parents. They agreed that the first thing they needed to do when they got of the train was to go see Dumbledore. So when the trained stopped, they snuck off and ran as fast as they could without being seen to the castle. Luckily, they made it inside unnoticed, and darted to the headmasters office. They stopped at the entrance. The two of them knew from books that Dumbledore liked sweets, so they just started naming off candies until they guessed "fizzing whizzbees" and got in.

They walked up the steps to a door, took a deep breath, hoped for the best, and knocked.

"Come in"
