Chapter 1. Going Back
Harry Potter continued to wave to his children as they started boarding the Hogwarts Express. After smiling at his wife Ginny Weasley, he put a hand to his faded scar. That scar was a mark of when Lord Voldemort tried to kill Harry and Lilly Potter cast herself between them. Harry had discovered that the man he had hated Severus Snape, had been protecting him since his mother's death, and pretending to be a spy for the Dark Lord; all because of his love for Lilly. Harry had killed Voldemort. Harry had embarrassed Snape by saying that he had killed Dumbledore in front of all of the students. He wished he could apologize.
"Harry! Harry Potter! I have a letter for please Mr. Harry Potter!" Harry turned around. A first year girl with colorful clothes and short brown bushy hair was running towards him with a scroll in her hand. "Thanks" said Harry uncertainly. He opened the scroll and read it silently.
Dear Mr. Harry Potter,
First, congratulations on your on your victory. I know you'll probably be seeing your children off, but I wish for you to go with them. Pack your things. There is a time turner in this scroll. I know you and your smart friend that is what Ron calls "naïve" once used it, but this one is different, and was specially made. You can be seen when you go back. Turn it like Hermione did: one turn for an hour. Turn it for as much as time as you need to pack. Bring your friends from Hogwarts too. Bring quite a lot, I think you will want to stay at Hogwarts.
Please keep this a secret. Only tell Ron and Hermione. When you get to Hogwarts please go to the Forbidden Forest at the start, near Hagrid's Hut. Do not worry about anything else please.
Signed,

There was an hourglass with a chain than looked like Hermione's, but as Harry saw when he looked closer, there was color on the circle. It was different. It had a golden circle around a spinning that Harry guessed was what he would spin when he turned time. The Hogwarts crest that seal's letters from Hogwarts was on both sides, and the animals were 3D, and kept coming up and making sounds. "Well" said Harry turning to Ginny and his two friends. "Let's see if this works." Harry asked his friends to contact the others and ask them how long it would take for them to pack. Harry then turned the time turner three times.
The world spun, and they were back at home. There were no past forms of them, Harry saw. Harry and his wife packed all that they could. He used the spell Hermione had used to stretch her bag. After receiving letters from his friends telling him how much time they needed, Harry gave his friends enough time to pack. Neville had been at Hogwarts already, he was a professor there, but he was warned about them coming. Even though he thought he was crazy unless he wanted another owl, he took Hedwig's cage with him.
"Dad. Dad! Why are you going with us again?" Albus kept asking Harry as they got onto the Hogwarts Express. Many people kept asking Harry the same question.
Harry's head was hurting, yet he knew it was not his scar.
While he had been packing, Harry's head had been spinning with more than a dozen questions, and it had not stopped by the time that he was at the border.
Who was this "Anonymous" person? Should he trust them? Should he even go? "Of course you should go."
The voice that had helped Harry throw off the Imperious curse in the fourth year. Harry had expected that by now it would be more like a man's voice. Like Mad-Eye's or Lupin's… Harry felt a pang of pain at the thought of Moody and Remus.
Surprisingly, Hermione did not object to going back to Hogwarts. Harry closed the shades and locked the door. He was embarrassed.
Luckily no one saw them. "Or if they did, they didn't say anything about it." Said Ron in a nervous voice. This confirmed to Harry that Ron was as anxious about going back to Hogwarts on such short notice. The kids were chattering excitingly about going to Hogwarts. Draco and his wife and kids were nowhere to be found. Another message came, but this time from a tawny barn owl.
Dear Mr. Harry Potter,
Please unpack your things before coming, but come the same night that you arrive, if you can. If not, turn back time please. Meet at 8:30 please.

"Okay, alright, just be very careful." Said Hermione. Harry was happy that "Anonymous" had said that he could use the time turner again, because Harry and his friends took some to unpack. Harry had to turn back two hours for them.
This was most likely due to the fact that they had packed 3 quarters of their houses!
"Anonymous" seemed to read Harry's mind, for when he was thinking" "Should all of my friends come with me?" a letter arrived with his answer with the same owl. Now Harry looked at the outside before he opened the letter. The seal was not the Hogwarts crest, but a rearing unicorn with wings. "What kind of unicorn is that?" Harry said aloud. Hermione and Ron looked but neither could find out what it was. But Hermione said it looked like "A Unicorn and Pegasus had a baby".
Dear Mr. Harry Potter,
Please bring all of your friends, but Dissilusinate them when you are sneaking out of Hogwarts, yet lift it when you come to the Forbidden Forest please. You included please.

P.S. you will see me when you come.
"Whoever it is, they are polite in their letters". Said Hermione, looking at the letter.
That night, the night they came, Harry left with his friends when it was dark. No one spoke. Neville had snuck out, since the first few weeks didn't have a lot of homework, he had finished early. Finally, they arrived. A young bay centaur held a rope that led to a creature hidden in the shadows. "Anna can only bring back one, and she has chosen." said the centaur. The creature called Anna stayed hidden, and said, "I choose Nagini the snake."
Sorry. I just want to say I will try to update as soon as I can. I have written nearly the whole story but I'm still typing it out. I have more romance between Snape and Lilly. Some of this is so good I find it hard to believe I wrote it. I think I might have a future as a writer, you know. Please tell me what you think. Be honest but not harsh. Thank you for helping me.
