A.N. This is my first fic, so please don't be to mean.

Only Time Will Tell

A raven-haired man (with a silver steak about an inch away from his left ear) was sitting on a large, golden armchair. His dull, emerald-green eyes staring off into space. Standing up the raven-haired man walked towards the bathroom to have a shower. As he turned to tap he stared to feel dizzy, but when he saw he was still in the shower he forgot all about it.

Later that night as the raven-haired man headed towards his bed he felt dizzy again. Dismissing it as a cold he took a midnight-blue potion and went to bed.

The raven-haired man awoke to the sound of birds chirping. Feeling around him he found he was he was outside lying on grass. He opened his eyes to see he was at Hogwarts. Looking around to see how he got here he saw the whooping willow as still there, not only the stump like in his seventh year at Hogwarts after the Death-Eaters attacked the school. Brushing his long, raven-coloured hair out of his eyes he walked up the school.

Only after saying the order's password to get into the headmaster's office (which earned a confused look from the gargoyle) and sitting in the baby- blue chair did he see the clock.

"And may I ask who you are?" said a man with baby blue eyes that were almost always twinkling, long auburn coloured hair with sliver steaks in and half moon glasses.

"Brian Sanders." The raven-haired man replied not looking the other man in the eyes.

The raven-haired did not look the other man called Albus Dumbledore in the eyes because his name was not Brain Sanders it was Harry Potter. He didn't tell his mentor his real name because the magical clock in the headmaster's office said it was 1963, seven years before his mother and father started their first year at Hogwarts.

" Well, Mr Sanders I must ask you to show me your left forearm."

Harry and Dumbledore were the only people on earth with the phoenix mark and if saw it in this time, god knows what would happen. So Harry quickly a charm with wandless magic to make it look like something else.

" But before I do I'll like to know why you are here?"

Harry had to stop himself from sighing in relief. He didn't know what the phoenix had been turned into; it could be the dark mark for all he knew.

"To apply for the Defences Against the Dark Arts position." Replied Harry remembering when Dumbledore had told him that in the year 1963 they'd had a Defences Against the Dark Arts teacher called Brain Sanders.

" Good, I was thinking I wouldn't get one in time. Now before it can become legal I must do some tests."
