A/N: Thnaks to Kicky-potter for beating this for me. All rights to respectful owners. Hope you enjoy :)

Harry was wandering Hogwarts alone. Everyone else was in Hogsmeade. Well, everyone in his year. He thought he was alone till someone tapped him on the back. He spun around to see a rather beautiful slim girl around his height, with blonde hair which flowed like a waterfall to her waist and soft crystal blue eyes. He recognised her as a Slytherin in his year but not one of the ones that hung around with Draco Malfoy.

"Its Greengrass right?" He asked questioning her politely.

"That's right Potter." She smiled at him.

He nodded. "Er…is there something I can help you with?" He questioned again politely.

"Yes there is, would you take a walk with me?" She smiled again.

"Sure, lead the way." What's the worst that could happen thought Harry.

She nodded and they started walking side by side in a slightly awkward silence.

"Er… so Potter it may be hard to believe but I need you to be open minded with me okay?"

"Okay." He responded. As they walked they arrived on the seventh floor and she started pacing in front of a tapestry despicting trolls in tutus.

To Harry's surprise a door appeared and she gestured for him to follow her in. Which he did but she locked the door behind them.

Before he could say anything she spoke. "Relax Potter I'm not going to hurt you." She giggled slightly. Harry relaxed and nodded. Then he took the room in. It was a small sitting room with a roaring fire, two dark green leather armchairs and a small table.

"Please sit." She smiled. He nodded and followed her over.

"So Potter you may wonder why I dragged you here."

Harry smiled at her. He did not know why but there was something about this girl that he liked. "Yeah."

"Well get comfy it is a long story but to prove I am not lying to you I will drink this." She held up a vile which what looked like water.

"What's that?"

"It's Veritaserum, the most powerful truth potion in the world. Normally the use of it is restricted, even more so when using it on minors like us. But taking it willingly on the other hand is perfectly legal. I'm offering you a sip to prove you can trust what I am saying. I do have the antidote as well. So will you?" She questioned.

"Er sure."

She smiled and nodded. With that she uncorked the vile and handed it to Harry, who took a small sip. After this he gave it back to her.

"Now Potter, did you faint when a Dementor was around?"

"Yes." Harry looked shocked.

"There now you see it works. Here down this one." She handed him another uncorked vile and Harry drank it.

With that she downed the rest of the Veritaserum.

"Now, where do I start. Well, it may be hard to believe, but my future self visited me. She had used a special type of time turner that allows you to return to the point you left at. Normally a time turner only lets you go back in time. She, well I explained that the future is in ruins due to your Muggle Born friend and her Husband Weasley." Harry gasped at this last part. "Please I don't like being interrupted."

"Sorry."

"Quite all right." She smiled.

"Now, where was I… ah yes. So you defeated The Dark Lord. But it was not for the best as she used her part in it to excel throughout the Ministry. She eventually became Minister of Magic, but she was worse than The Dark Lord. Only Muggle Borns where truly safe if you did not agree with what she was doing and thought against her. But I will come back to that. She made Purebloods and Halfbloods who wanted to support her swear an unbreakable vow. That's a magical vow you make and if you break it you die. You wanted a quiet life after the war and you have and will have enough wealth to live a peaceful life after the war. Well, other than your Wizengamont duties you had to do. If you do not understand that I can explain another time. With her and Weasley dominating the light side and traditionalists trying to stop them on the Dark side, there was us on the Grey side. The side in the middle we led it side by side. My father leads it currently. Granger though, she was ruthless demanding the Muggle Borns be incharge and that only she knows what is best for our world's future. She eventually became the Minister as I said and started having Pure Bloods and Halfbloods executed. Anyone who did not agree with her basically. The Dark and Grey banded together to stop her and by what I said it is still going on. Granger wants her side all the Muggle Borns to restart magical Britain. To restart the old Pure blood lines. Apparently you were captured and going to be executed. Granger thinking with you gone our side will fall and give up. But before you were captures you gave me the Time Turner to send me back to save the future. You even said to me that The Dark Lord needed to win to stop all this and you may have to join him or remain neutral at least. Granger was trying to Mugglefy our world. She was erasing the old traditions so that she could rebuild magical Britain her way. Apparently, I was supposed to be sent back to our first year to convince you to let the Sorting Hat put you in Slytherin. But, well lets see, when we met and joined the Grey side Granger and Weasley accused you of turning Dark, even more so when we got married." She blushed at this last part. "That how she started to built up her support, but we met about a month after the final battle with the Dark Lord. You had broken up with the female Weasley two weeks beforehand. When we started dating." She blushed again. "She and many others accused me of giving you a love potion. But of course I did not, it was love." She blushed again. "Er… well, the last part to tell you before you do anything else. The Weasley twins have to give you the Marauders map. It works by saying I solemnly swear I am up to no good. To wipe it clean again you say Mischief managed. Tell them Prongs was your father. Its a map of Hogwarts that shows where everyone is as well all the secret passages and how to access them. When that isall done you need to go to Professor Dumbledore and insist on a resorting. If the Sorting Hat agrees, there is nothing he can do to stop it. Well, that is if you want to save the future with me. But you will have to dissociate yourself from your Gryffindor friends permanently as it was mainly them who sided with Granger. I also regret to say you may have to call her the M word. No matter how much you don't want to but it is for the good of the future for all of us. Also, I promise you everyone in Slytherin will accept you as long as you're not a Muggle Born anyone in Slytherin is accepted inside and out of the common room. In Slytherin we have one major rule and that is unity. We all stick together, we deal with personal problems inside the common room and after it is dealt with, we are all friends again. So now I finished my gripping tale, mind if I take the antidote?"

"Not at all."

She smiled at him and drank.

"Oh and to prove everything I said is the truth." She raised her wand.

"I Daphne Greengrass of the house Greengrass, swear upon my life and magic that

everything I have told Harry Potter of the house Potter is the truth and whole truth and I do not intend to harm him." Her wand glowed as she said this and when she finished it stopped.

"Well, as you can see I am still alive, and well… Lumos." Her wand glowed with light. "Noxs." Her wand stopped glowing. "As you can see I have not lost my magic. So you can see I have been telling the truth. So will you accept what I said and help me? No, help us."

Harry nodded. "I physically can't dispute what you're saying as your telling the truth. I may not get the last few years of friendship but I guess it is for the best, rather than making it harder in the future."

She nodded.

"Oh sorry I forgot this last bit. Trelawney will make a prophecy at the end of the year about the return of The Dark Lord next year as his servant will return to him. Peter Petergrew is alive and is Weasleys rat but he has to escape. He was the one who betrayed your parents, not Sirius Black." Harry looked shocked. "Yeah but you did not find out till just before Christmas in our third year in our original timeline. But the other thing is, you need to swap to Ancient Runes and Arithmancy, but keep Care of Magical Creatures."

Harry nodded.

"Well I guess we will spend much more time together. Do you mind if I call you Daphne?" He asked her.

She blushed. "Not at all if I can call you Harry?"

"Of course you can." He smiled at her.

She laughed. "Well, Harry, want to go see Professor McGonagall to change your subjects?" Harry nodded.

"But first a proposition."

"Go on?" she said.

"Well, it is obvious we are compatible and we make a good couple to get married. Er why don't we try dating?" Harry blushed so did Daphne.

"Er um actually YES!" she blushed again and gave Harry a hug and Harry felt warmth flood him.

They smiled at each other after braking apart. "Shall we go then?" He asked.

"Yeah, but we're taking you clothes shopping the first chance we get. Why do you wear them anyway?"

"Er well, I don't want to make Ron feel inferior as he is touchy about not having much money. That is also why I don't try too hard with my studies, he is not really the smartest student. But I can't have him dragging me down any longer."

"Too right Harry!" She smiled at him. "Oh and as our mothers were friends, she was appointed as one of your two guardians. Well, she invited you to ours this Christmas if you would like oh and here." She handed him a neatly folded up piece of parchment. Harry opened it and smiled, it was a signed permission slip for him to go into Hogsmead.

"I knew you did not have permission, I also heard tales of mother being your guardian and her anger that you weren't sent to us after your parents death and your Godfathers imprisonment. But hey, never mind that now. Oh and I'm not normally this blushey and nice in public. We Slytherins have an emotionless mask you too will learn eventually." She smiled. "But I have had a crush on you since first year." She blushed again.

"Too bad I did not meet you on the train in first year."

"Oh well, Harry we are friends now aren't we?"

"Of course." He smiled.

She smiled back. "Well shall we go to Professor McGonagall?"

Harry nodded.

With that they left and saw the door melt out of sight. "Oh that was the Room of Requirement by the way also known as the come and go room. It can become what ever you need. Il teach you how to use it soon." Harry nodded, they had arrived at Mcgonagalls office while they had been talking.

"I will wait out here, okay Harry?"

"Okay." With that Harry knocked on her office door.

"Enter."

Harry did.

"Potter, to what do I owe this visit?"

"Well, two things rstly, I got my permission slip signed. As it turns out I have a guardian in the wizarding world, meaning Mrs Greengrass." He handed her the parchment.

Her eyes narrowed. "Well Potter I will check this with Mrs Greengrass but I do recall your Mother and her being good friends. Now, what is the other thing you wanted to ask me?"

"I wish to drop that useless subject Divination and take up Ancient Runes and Arithmancy, which I know is within the rules as per school regulations we can take a maximum of 3, also we may change them during the first term. I remember this rule being on the form we filled in when we chose our subjects." Harry said.

"Very well Potter, I will give you your new timetable tomorrow at breakfast. I advice you to write to the book shop in Hogsmead now, to get your books the Spellmons Silibury, Introduction to Ancient Runes, Ancient Runes for beginners and a beginners introduction to Arithmancy." She handed him an order form.

"Thank you Professor."

"No Problem, Potter."

With that he said goodbye and went back out where Daphne was waiting for him.

"Well?" She questioned.

"She is going to be checking with your mother to see of it legitimate." Daphne scowled.

"Clearly she doesn't trust you."

Harry laughed.

"Oh and I can swap my subjects. I just stated the rules on the forms. So I don't think there was anything she could do to stop it, even if she wanted to."

Daphne laughed at this. With that Harry went to his dormitory to grab some money Daphne offered to write the form out for him outside the portrait hole. He came out to find her waiting quietly.

"Thanks for your help."

"No worries Harry what are friends for."

With that they went to the Owlery where Daphne and Harry got Headwig to take the order form to the book store in Hogsmead.

"So Daphne, why didn't you go to Hogsmead today?"

"Been there with my family before and well, I wanted to talk with you."

Harry smiled "Well next time we can go together."

"Thanks Harry I'd like that. Can it be a date?."

"Of course." He smiled at her.

"Well, shall we go to Dumbledores office? Oh and don't look directly into his eyes. I'll teach you the basic oclumency I know and we can improve together. It stops legilimency short term mind reading."

Harry nodded. "Thanks."

"No problem Harry."

With that they headed to Dumbledores office. At the gargoyle Daphne who had gotten the password said it.

"Pear drops." She said with an air of distaste.

The gargoyle slid aside and they stepped onto the moving staircase that was like an escalator. Harry knocked on the door with Daphne hiding out of the way so she could listen in but not have to go in. It was in case Dumbledore thought he wanted to change houses for small reasons like a new friend, well more than a friend, rather than a more serious and logical reason.

So Harry knocked.

"Enter."

Harry breathed deeply and entered the room closing the door behind him.

A/N: Well hope you enjoyed that one :)
