Sea of time
Two men walked cautiously down the darkened hallway, their eyes alert and their wands out. Along the walls, candles flickered. One man licked his lips nervously, his eyes darting frantically from side to side, while the other hesitated. Before the man with dark messy hair whispered something harshly and they continued onwards.
They both bore new light-blue Auror robes of the British Ministry of Magic, with fine golden details; A emblem with a phoenix, that is continually flying around a global. One large emblem was placed in the middle of the chest, also two smaller Order of Phoenix emblems where placed on the shoulders of the battle rfobes. The robes where shining brightly in the darkened hallway.
"Oke, we are almost there. That is the door that leads to the Department of Mysteries." whispered a man with dark messy hair. "Let's hurry before they notice us." said the man with a voice full of fear. He gestured silently to the other man with ginger looking hair, to cover him and without a whisper the other man stood on the left side of the door, with his back against the wall and his wand out. His eyes searching for anything suspicious in the darkened hallway.
"Alohamora!" the man with the dark messy hair muttered and the door lock clicked as it was magically forced open, before swinging out with a loud screech. The two men winced as the noise echoed in the silent room and beyond.
They walked slowly inside the department and saw right in front of thfem a big bowl of water at least, three by two meters large. They locked the door and put some simple detection wards on. They both started to enlighten the room with the points of their wands. The ginger looking man was gaping at the bowl, fear and suprise laced thoughout his face. The bowl was completely filled with death brains.
"Hee, wake up!" Said the man with the dark messy hair loudly.
"Ok -em- sorry" Said the other man quetly. His voice crackling with wonder.
Both men were tensed and gripped their wands tighter. The man with the dark messy looking hair gestured the other man to lead. They both walked further into the room and noticed all kind of strange objects; positioned nicely ordered in the room. Their eyes fell on a knife with glowing dark ancient magic, named the "Oblivi". The object was placed on a special rune, with a protective ward around it.
The man with dark messy hair gestured to move on. They walked along the pathway till they found the section where they were looking for. The "Time section" it was a small section with only three objects.
There was an old looking but nicely decorated frame. On the side of the frame where little blocks of stones with ten sides on it. Each side was filled with a number. The description said: The Ancient Gate of Time is the only object of time, that's fully tested and worked. The user will be launched back in time to look around, it's only impossible for the user to change or communicate with the other universe, by this type of time travel. The primary use of this object is to detect other time travelers. It was possible a prototype of Merlin himself.
The next object was a time turner and they both knew what it was, this item was a global knowledge in the wizard world. With the time turner is it possible to send a couple of persons. The only successful recorded attempts where just a couple of hours back in time.
There was no description on the last item, so the man with the dark messy hair started to examine that item a little closer. It looked almost the same as the familiar looking time turner, only it looked fully new and shining. He saw four small numbers "2035" and a small snake on the front of the amulet.
He putted the amulet in his pocket and whispered to his associate "We found what we were looking for, now let's get the fuck out of here."
The two men ran swiftly thought the door and kept running till they came closer to the elevators. All three elevators opened exactly the same time, when the two men were still engaging the elevators the red haired man jumped suddenly down the other men and pulled him behind a little corner "Disillusionment yourself!" whispered the ginger looking man. Both men pointed their wand on the front of their heads and muttered the incantation.
Immediately when the doors opened 4 dozen angry looking goblins with thick, broad and blue colored armor streamed down the elevator "Thanks! Ronald stay here I go to the other side, we give these son of a bitches a little surprise." whispered the other man with the dark messy hair playfully.
On his right sat Ronald Weasley, the Head of the Military Affairs. He had changed a lot from his Hogwarts days. His face had been heavily battered during the fights against the Death Eaters and Goblins and large scars had been ripped into his cheeks and chin. A large portion of his ear was missing and his brown eyes, which had once been bright and optimistic, were reserved and hard. His ginger hair was scattered with grey and his face was beginning to show the faint signs of wrinkles, which was an uncommon thing to happen to a wizard considered to be entering his prime. Ron had once been an Auror, much like Harry, and was feared by the goblins throughout Britain as being a Harry's second in command.
"Ok, give them all you got!" whispered Ronald with a confident tone.
"Oria!" muttered Harry and he flew to the roof and pointed halfway his wand to the other side of the room and instantly he flew without any Goblin noticing anything, to that direction. He had created that spell, which was simply the opposite of the summoning charm. Instead of summoning an item towards you, it summoned you towards it. He landed softly on the otherside of the darkened hall his wand ready. Harry tried to croach as silently as possible behind a pile of marble.
One of the goblins was Fumbleskull, a goblin with a lot of resources and very known in public. let's try to be nice first maybe they will let us pass without bloodshed thought Harry "Fumbleskull let us pass or the goblins will die by our hand" Yelled Harry harshly with magicaly enforced voice.
Fumbleskull had utter fear in his eyes and squeaked "The order of the Phoenix! Guards bring them to me." The goblins instantly put strong defense spell up and spread around.
"I'll gave you a chance… no die!!" yelled Harry. "Reducto!, Reducto!, Reducto!" the nine goblins closest to Harry had no chance; with or without a defense spell, little parts of Goblin flew all around. Harry rolled over and with a sleek movement he sent a "Sectum Sempra!" To another two Goblins green colored bled spew out their necks and instantly killed goblins. Their heads fell down of their romps.
Harry muttered "imperio!" over another young but trained goblin and told the goblin to attack his team mates. The goblin summoned a sleek long goblin forged sword, and he furiously attacked his teammates. Harry repeated that three times and had sent a mind message to Ron "Fall back, get to the elevator." Harry not waiting for any kind of acknowledgement, moved swiftly without noticing by the goblins to the elevator. In the meantime the goblins panicked and tried to stop their teammates for hurting the others.
Nearby, Ron had dealt with some Goblins as well, and killed on a frantically way some goblins. Sparks flew through the air as he battled and the goblins retreated beneath the onslaught of the Weasley, his eyes glittering furiously.
Harry found out that Ron already reached elevator, seconds later the elevator doors closed and there he stood with his best friend Ron, both cathing their breath. "That went quite good " said Ron; with a grin from ear to ear. In the meantime Ron pushed the correct button and they went up till they reached the familiar red telephone and directly apparated back to their safe house… the Chamber of Secrets.
Harry and Ron entered the entrée room; Susan Bones sat quietly behind her old dark wooden desk. And looked up when the two men side a side apparated into the room with a loud "Crack!".
"Hi guys" She said slyly "Hello Susan, any updates" asked Harry "No Sir, there are still unfortunately no new leads to Hermione Granger." "I'm sorry." She added. He felt a sting in his stomach and heard Ron breathe deeply and Harry knew it hurt him too. It was still to fresh.
He looked at the calendar and saw that it was already 12 July 2012. 5 years ago, after the terrible defeat of Voldemort. were only a few of his friends survived. That day the wizard community paid a terrible price, only the half of the Britain wizards and witches survived the war.
Meanwhile behind the scenes of the war another unknown dark wizard prepared an army to conquer the leftovers of Britain and immediately after the defeat of Voldemort… They attacked; the still partying and non expecting wizards and so started the second goblin war in Britain. In the first day the wizards lost almost three quarter of the wizards and witches. And now only a few wizards and witches are left in Britain hiding for the onslaught of the "The Blackhand". Harry lost almost all his friends even Hermione has been recently catched by "The Blackhand" an order of at least 100.000 highly trained and drugged goblins. They are extremely dangerous and it's impossible to communicate with… They only kill.
Tonight they were not attacked by the Blackhand but by the civil army of the goblins the "Wind Raiders". The "Wind Raiders" stayed normally behind their siege works, crafted by the goblins themselves. The leader of the Blackhand is an unknown wizard. He found a way to magical duplicate goblins and made them almost twice as powerful as the normal goblins. At this moment the dark wizard is preparing a huge force of goblins, for war!. There are maybe two times as many of goblins as wizards left on this planet and probably soon other countries will fall under the freight of the numbers of the Blackhand.
The price was too high, so he and Ron started looking for a way to go back in time and fix things up. That's why they entered the ministry of magic. For now they are safe in the Chamber of secrets with almost 35 experienced wizards and witches.
"Ron, Follow me please." said Harry with a warm voice. "Ok I'm coming, but give me a minute than I get myself a sandwich." said Ron settled down. Ohh!, some things will never change thought Harry.
Harry walked into his room and pulled the little time amulet out of his pocket. The amulet looked a bit plain for a powerfull amulet. Ron walked into the room with a plate full of sandwiches, with bacon. "Care to join?" Asked Ron "Nah, I'm not so hungry." Lied Harry, but he had to find out where the amulet was from and how he could use it.
While Harry continued examining the object, He saw again the little snake but this time it looked like of the snake moved. No way this isn't possible thought Harry.
He whispered to snake in clear parcelmouth "Hello?"
It looked like the eyes of the snake became four times as big, as they where a second ago. "he-elo" the snake stuttered back, defiantly not believing that a parcelmouth stood right before him. "Does it respond?" Asked Ron hopefully and with his mouthful, little bits of sandwich flew around in the room and against the robe of Harry"Ooops sorry" said Ron slyly, he followed on but now with his hand for his mouth "But does it?" he asked again, chewing as fast as possible, Ron swallowed the last bits of sanwich and now with his mouth empty. "Does it really?" Harry couldn't believe it either but nodded.
"What are you?" asked Harry to the snake on the amulet, the snake responded with a proud face(For what was possible for a little snake on a amulet) "I'm a Sea of Time amulet created in the year 2035 by Merlin Himself."What!!! Harry couldn't believe what the snake just said.
"I am a object that belongs to a heir of Slyterin, Ravenclaw, Griffindor or Hufflepuf and because you are one of the latest ancestors of Gryffindor. I believe I have a message for you... Harry James Potter, son of James Potter and Lilly Potter and rightful heir of Gryffindor" The snake opened his mouth and a small parchment appeared. Harry pulled the little parchment out of the mouth of the snake and the parchment suddenly enlarged to a normal size parchment.
By the time you read this there is no turning back. This timeline is lost and Blackhand has won again. This is the fourth timeline of the seven timelines so I have to stop the Blackhand myself. So by the time this message is written, all hope is lost and I created this sea of time amulet. This amulet is send to all still standing universe.
The snake you see is "Treelas" a wise snake and he will help you on the quest for the good. I have to focus on the other universes but you have all what you need to change the doom upon your universe, there is a time for hide and fight and now it is to fight. Go back to 1938 the...
The message burned into ash, and something more heavy emplaced where the parchment was a second ago. The ring of Godrick Gryffindor rested in the right hand of Harry. Harry put the ring, for now in his pocket. Was this the complete message thought Harry "Treelas, why didn't Merlin finished the letter?" asked Harry " Each time he used magic, he had been found by the Blackhand. He used one hell of a spell to create this three items and then he traveled to each time line to place the Sea of Time in the Ministry of Magic. While he wrote this letter he had been spotted by some Blackhand warriors and needed to draw back for his own safety. I didn't saw anything else because those bloody goblins turned my head down " hissed the snake, angrily.
Harry thought about this and it came clear that he had to go back in time. "Ron, we have to go back in time. I don't know what we will find and how we are going to do it. But I have no intuition, to throw away this chance. We are as always prepared to leave, so let us leave now." Said Harry more confident, than he really felt, indeed they both had magically enlarged their pockets. Their pockets where filled with al kind of items, millions of galleons and objects like different fast brooms, a marauders map and his invisibility cloak.
"Yes, but what if we fail" answered Ron "We will not fail, we will find the correct people to be around and we will fight for a world where we don't need to hide. That was promised us after the defeat of the final defeat of Voldemort. This is the only, way how we can make it right. The price was too high." Said Harry, with a confident voice.
Harry saw the faces of his dearest friends Hermione, Sirius, Remus, Dumbledore, Neville, Luna, and now Hermione all dead. For so long he had cried and had nightmares. The pain he felt for all loses and sacrifices his friends had made, their sacrifices and the price they paid for his mistakes. How could he overestimated himself. Now in the next timeline, there will be no mistakes; he will plan all actions till the bottom.
Without spending anymore time and thought at the topic, Harry nodded to Ron. "Ok Wise Treelas, take us to 1938" said Harry, The snake nodded and a bright white light began to shine of the Amulet, Harry closed his eyes and all became white. He saw Ron standing next to him and before he thought this isn't going to work… He stood together with Ron Weasley in front of the Hogwarts express, with amulet still in his hand. He pocketed it carefully and looked at Ron. Second ago Ron was at least 10 years older. No heavily battered face anymore a set of two complete ears, just like an ordinary 17 year old Weasley.
"Whoa! You look good Harry." Yelled Ron excited.
Harry looked at the small windows of the Hogwarts express and saw himself mirrored in one of the windows. He looked indeed nice, his emarald eyes reflected by the miror, his eyes let in his previous timeline think about Harry's mother Lilly. Harry looked younger still broad shouldered and his arms musceled and also Harry looked like he was just turned into seventeen years.
How was that possible thought Harry, maybe when a user traveled back in time your body will just turn younger or Treelas made an terrible mistake and they are now in the wrong timeline… only a few years back in time.
But there weren't any known faces walking on the platform… So they has to be further back in time. ..
"You're in the right timeline, Heir of Gryffindor." The Snake whispered out of his pocket.
"But, how" before Harry could end his question, he heard the flute of the Hogwarts express leaving and he gestured to Ron to step in. Harry followed suit and they both stood between the students, still wearing their light blue dragon-hide Auror robes, with the phoenix emblems.
"Let's look for an empty compartment."
