Prologue
They had won and yet he felt like he had lost. Harry Potter stood in the castle his gaze fixed upon the crumbled dead body of the Dark Lord.
"You did it! You won! We WON!"
The crowd screamed as they rushed towards Harry, giving him hugs others ruffling his bird nest's hair
"Harry you did it!" Hermione who gave him a strangling hug screamed in his ears as tears of happiness flowed down her cheeks.
Harry of course didn't feel the same way. He had lost too many people, loved ones. All this could have been avoided if only Dumbledore had took it upon himself to give him the full information. It was pointless now to shift some of the blame towards him. He Harry was also to blame for acting impulsively the past years. He truly was a Gryffindor, a fool. His only excuse was that he felt the need to protect his best friends since he never had any childhood friends in the past. As he looked around seeing the dead, his pain only intensified and he started wishing for a do over and any reality would be fine.
As the master of the Deathly Hallows he wasn't aware of their full power. Once the people had finished congratulating him, he decided to go to the headmaster's office and the moment he threw the invisibility cloak around him, the resurrection stone he had previously dropped in the forest reappeared in his pocket completing the set and he vanished.
The Past
Year 1926
"We did everything we could to save your child Mrs Smith...i'm sorry for your loss." The doctor said.
Edgar and Lucy Smith the newly wed muggle couple had been expecting a healthy baby boy only for it to born with complications and to die as a result.
"Shh, a pained Edgar tried to comfort his weeping wife as she slept on the bed at the news."
"Doctor!" a nurse rushed outside the operating room with shock filled eyes.
"The boy is awake."
"What do you mean?" The doctor responded. He had thoroughly examined the child and went as far as three minutes after his death.
"He just woke up, like a miracle." The nurse responded unaware of the couples widened eyes.
The doctor turned and rushed into the room only to see a weeping baby on the examination table. He couldn't believe this.
The doctor began to perform a few tests. He needed to be fully convinced that the child was perfectly healthy before informing the parents. After a few minutes he returned to the couple beaming, holding a beautiful baby.
"Meet your new son" he said as he carefully handed him to his happy mother.
"He's fine, better than fine actually." The doctor said when he saw the questioning look in Edgar's eyes.
"What should we name him?" Lucy asked her husband.
"I was thinking my grandfather's second name Hadrian and your's, James." Edgar
"It's perfect" She agreed
