Prologue: The previous life

It was an early beautiful spring morning in Gordic's Hollow with a clear sky and a fast approaching summer. However, twenty-three year old Harry Potter and his wife since 3 year back Daphne had other more important things on their mind. They were going to try something that as far as they knew never had been accomplished by anyone before which made then very nervous, so much depended on the success of this. Their plan was to travel back in time, not just a few hours like with a time turner, instead they were going back twelve years to their 1st year at Hogwarts School in an effort to stop Voldemort's return to power and their loved ones.

Everything had gone downhill since Voldemort's return with just one problem after another, almost like some twisted person were just messing around with Harry's life. Oh wait, that's exactly what happened. During the summer before their 6th year the Dursleys decided to visit Paris, France and were forced to take Harry with them otherwise people would talk and that was not allowed to happen. When they arrived Harry was mostly left alone while his lovely relatives were visiting famous places and spending their money. This suited Harry just fine though since he got to see many places himself and finally had some freedom during the summer which was something he never remembered having before.

It was during one of these random trips around Paris that Harry met Daphne, her family apparently visited France every summer because her grandmother lived there with her third husband. With them being in Gryffindor and Slytherin they had never really talked before, but after just a few minutes of conversation it was like they had known each other a lifetime. Daphne was an intelligent girl, while not being quite as book smart as Hermione she was put in Slytherin after all and was very cunning and good at manipulating people which was required in her house to get by. She was also unlike most Slytherin against Voldemort, her family had remained neutral in the last war, but mostly because several close relatives had been in Slytherin at the time and they feared retribution in school if they decided to oppose the Dark Lord.

Harry quickly came to appreciate her intelligence, but also her sense of humor and her way of being, he felt relaxed around her and she managed to get him to open up and talk about his insecurities and problems in a way that his other friends had never managed, she was also very beautiful with her long blond hair and nicely shaped body with curves in the right places already at that age.

Daphne meanwhile found Harry just as interesting, she noticed he was smarter then he and his grades let on and that he was caring, brave and willing to do everything for a friend and he had amazing green eyes. His lack of cunning and his way of trusting people to easy disturbed her somewhat though and she started working on that right away. However, it didn't take long before she started telling him about her life and the problems of being in Slytherin.

After just a few weeks they had become extremely close and on the last day before they went home again Harry had summoned up the courage and kissed her and the beginning of a beautiful relationship had started. Considering the war they had kept the relationship a secret when going back to school after a discussion between themselves and Daphne's surprisingly supportive parents. Harry didn't even tell his friends about the relationship since Ron would just take offence to her being a Snake and probably announce it to the whole school in a fit of rage, Hermione could be trusted, but that would include Snape and Dumbledore being able to pick it out of her head and that wasn't allowed to happen.

Daphne had helped Harry learning Occlumency properly during the summer, at least enough to keep those out of his mind and to block his connection. They had come to the conclusion that Dumbledore was trying to interfere too much with Harry's life, he may mean well, but he was way too manipulating and controlling to give vital information to. When school started up they usually met in the Room of Requirement to spend time together and train for the war, Daphne had let him know that if no one else helped him she would and since she was his girlfriend she needed to be able to fight as well.

Their friends often questioned them going missing too much, but it was easily explained with either studying or in Harry's case being sad about Sirius or finally taking his studies seriously. Dumbledore started to teach harry about Voldemort's life and the Horcruxes that would cause so much trouble. Daphne helped him get the essential memory from Slughorn, he really had no idea how he would have managed it without her. She also figured out he had a Horcrux in his scar and after careful consideration they got the goblins to remove it in secrecy.

Within just a few weeks Harry's power had a big boost from this which made him very powerful. During the spring they noticed Draco was using the Room to do something concerning Voldemort, they learned it was an attempt to get people into the school to kill Dumbledore who Draco had been tasked to kill. Harry had told Dumbledore about it in a last attempt to see if he was able to take action, but Dumbledore just shrugged it off and mentioned that Snape was taking care of it.

This caused some anger with both Daphne and Harry, but there wasn't much they could do at the moment, so they focused on their training instead while keeping an eye on Draco when needed. Their relationship continued to develop during the year and both of them became more certain for every day that this would last. Sadly they had to deal with the by now very annoying Weasley family. Ron had finally lost the plot, first dating Lavender and then acting like a jerk towards both Hermione and Harry, so much so that both of them cut their friendship with him.

Then there was Ginny Weasley, still obsessed with harry she went from boyfriend to boyfriend to make Harry jealous, when this failed to have any affect she tried to use a love potion with the apparent help of her mother and Ron who wanted to get back at Harry for a reason only known to himself. This of course failed since they had foreseen this and Harry was taking a potion that countered the effects, but still made both of them very angry. They didn't go to Dumbledore with it because he had proven to not being able to take any action whatsoever.

At the end of the year Dumbledore took Harry to get a horcrux, but it proved to be a failure when first the horcrux had already been stolen so it was false, and then Draco managed to get the Death Eaters inside and they killed Dumbledore with Snape cating the killing curse, not only that but also four other students were killed during the assault. A second year Ravenclaw and a fourth year Hufflepuff died, but the deaths who caused Harry and Daphne incredible pain was Hermione, who had been killed by Bellatrix in an attempt to defend several younger students, and Daphne's little sister, Astoria, who died at the hands of Dolohov.

These deaths caused both of them so much sorrow, Hermione was like a sister to harry so he felt just as much pain as Daphne and he had also taken a liking to Daphne's little sister who was a nice girl who approved of him. During the summer they increased they training program when Harry ran away from the order at his 17th birthday, taking the mantle as Lord Potter and given several of his families houses. Daphne moved with him and they started learning darker curses and a few weeks later they killed their first Death Eaters when defending a muggle family. No mercy was their new attitude and they quickly became more grey then light in their approach to handle enemies, no more stunning, taking care of them permanently worked much better.

The following year they never returned to school and instead went to search for the horcruxes together while staying away from the magical world altogether. After several months they had taken care of all of them except Nagini, Voldemort's familiar snake. The locket had quickly been found thanks to Kreacher while the diadem was a lucky hit while visiting at Hogwarts for a few days. Hardest had been the Hufflepuff cup, but after a very convincing conversation with Gringotts they had gotten access to the Lestrange vault in return giving the goblins several old artifacts.

A final battle was called at Hogwarts in May that year, after a lot of fighting Daphne had managed to kill Nagini, but the enraged Voldemort then attacked her and tortured her for his loss. He was soon stopped by Harry who threw a very dark curse at Voldemort who hit him in the back while he was occupied. It killed him right away and the war was finally over, but at a very high cost. In the final battle a lot of people had died including Daphne's mother and Remus and Tonks, both who had become close to Harry.

They tried to get over the deaths but it proved very hard for them, only their love for each other helped them to stay alive. A year later they married in a small ceremony in France where they had first met, the marriage bond turned into a rare soul bond that enabled them to talk to each other in their minds and share power with each other if they wanted to.

After a long honeymoon they were recruited by the Unspeakables and became very successful during the following four years before an assignment in Greece uncovered a device that after careful study showed the possibility to travel longer into the past then any time turner had. However, no one dared to use it for any longer trips then 3 months in fear of causing any timeline problems. Harry and Daphne on the other hand saw it as a possibility to right the wrongs, save the people who they had lost, and take care of them who deserved to die but managed to escape.

Therefore on this lovely spring day they walked out of their house in Gordic's Hollow, said goodbye to everything they knew, apparated to the Unspeakable Department and walked up to the device. They had spent the better part of three weeks with the calculations.

"Here goes nothing love." Harry whispered and gave his wife a gentle kiss.

"See you soon dear." Daphne replied smiling and then turned the device on, and in a flash they were gone.
