Prologue
Albus Severus Potter wasn't a stupid person. Neither was is cousin, Rose Weasley, or their good friend Scorpius Malfoy. Together they formed what was known as 'The New Golden Trio' or some such rot. They thought it was ridiculous, but they had learned to live in the limelight. With who their parents were, it was hard not to. Back to the main point, they weren't stupid people. They were Ravenclaws for a reason after all. But their current idea was stupid. It was beyond stupid. It was so ridiculous, it should never have been spoken.
But they had to try, it was their only option. It was the whole world's only option. The world was ending, and only they could save it. The original Golden Trio was dead, it's only surviving member being Hermione Weasley. Hermione was a shell of her former self, but she was still a brilliant witch. She had come up with a way to send the Trio back thirty years to Hermione's own sixth year at Hogwarts. One might wonder why this would be necessary. The answer, of course, was to stop Voldemort before his heir, Sofia Riddle, could be born.
Through some complicated runic work, Hermione had stabilized the three of them so that even when they changed the timeline they would have all the same memories and genetic make up. This way, even if they prevented their own births, they wouldn't fade away. They were sent off with the entire Malfoy, Weasley and Potter fortunes, as everyone else was dead and couldn't claim it. According to Hermione there was a ten- day margin of error, and so they were aiming for July 31st 1996. They were hoping to stop all the nonsense before it started, as Sofia Riddle had been born three weeks after the final battle. This gave them a little over a year to stop the conception, and if not, kill the mother and child before they could become a threat, though they did not wish to do so.
So the three twenty-year-olds embarked on their incredibly stupid journey, and hoped for the best. Though it was rather flawed, because the margin of error wasn't in days, but rather years...
