Harry Potter was by no means an average man. Hell, he wasn't even an average wizard. When he was only a year old his parents were murdered by an evil wizard, Lord Voldemort, who in turn tried to murder him, but failed. Then when he was eleven he confronted the very same man, only to narrowly escape death from his Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Quirrell.

The next year he faced an apparition of the Dark Lord, who again tried to kill him. In his third year at Hogwarts, he thought he was being hunted by the murderer Sirius Black, only to find out that Sirius was hunting his friend Ron's pet rat, Scabbers. Scabbers turned out to be a man by the name of Peter Pettigrew, who had betrayed his parents to Lord Voldemort.

Then forth year he was entered into a tournament, against his will he might add. At the end of the year he and the official Hogwarts champion, Cedric Diggory, were transported by portkey to a graveyard. There Cedric was killed by Peter Pettigrew, and then Harry was used to bring back the body of ol-Tommy-boy, AKA Lord Voldemort.

After narrowing escaping, yet again he told the minister of magic, Cornelius Fudge that Voldemort was back, only to get a sputtering minister back. Fifth year consisted of him and his cousin being attacked by Dementors, being tortured by a pink loving toad, and being haunted by dreams of corridor that he had never seen before. At the end of that year, he snuck into the ministry of magic to rescue his godfather, only to find out that his godfather wasn't there and that he was tricked. His godfather came to his rescue, with the order of the phoenix helping. In the end his godfather was murdered by Bellatrix LeStrange and Voldemort's existence was revealed to the public.

Sixth year was one of Harry's more normal years, with nothing happening till the end of the year. Dumbledore had gone hunting for a Horcrux with Harry, and ended up drinking a terrible potion that he had no idea what it did. Then when they get back to the school, they find it attacked by Death Eaters. Dumbledore was struck down by Severus Snape, the potions master of Hogwarts.

The next year Harry and his friends left to find the rest of Tommy-boy's Horcrux. They traversed all over, finding and destroying all but two, a Diadem and a snake. Harry and company found the diadem at Hogwarts, and destroyed it. Then Voldemort attacked the school, and Harry and his friends fought against Voldemort's Death Eaters. Harry went to face Voldemort, and was struck by the killing curse. He found himself in a strange reconstruction of Kings Cross, talking to Dumbledore.

This leads us to our current situation…

"Well Harry, this is where our journey comes to an end, and where you must make a choice." Dumbledore said, turning to face Harry. "A choice, sir?" Harry asked questionably. "Yes Harry, you can choose to move on, as you have done your part by making Tom Riddle mortal. Or Harry, you can go back, and help your friends stop Tom, and then live out the rest of your life. However Harry, you must make the choice that you feel is best." Dumbledore replied, ending with a small sigh.

"Professor, are you alright?" Harry asked with concern in his voice. "No Harry, I am not, I made many mistakes in my life, and I find myself wishing I could offer you another choice, another chance if you will." the aged professor confessed.

As if hearing his words, the space around them distorted until, where there was once one train, there were now two.

"Professor, what is that?" Harry asked, looking towards Dumbledore, only to find that the professor was gone! 'Well then, what to do? On the one hand I could go back and finish Tommy-boy, and live out the rest of my life. I could also move on, see my family, and all that. But, yet… I find myself wanting a new start, a new beginning, where no one knows me as the boy who lived, but as me.'

"I guess I've made up my mind." Harry said, taking a step towards the new train. "A fresh start will be good for me. After all that's happened what could go wrong?" He said, doors closing behind him. 'One life, for another' He thought, as the train drove away.

AN: Well there you have it. It's short, I'm planning to have one chapter for each episode of the anime, as well as several extra chapters. That's about 60-70 chapters. As for what waits for Harry, that's next chapter. Pairings will be announced as they come, however don't expect anything even remotely romantic. However feel free to suggest pairings.

AN2: Fixed up some grammar and spelling mistakes, and added a few warnings. Anyways, next chapter is up, for those who were waiting patiently. Also, leave a review on whether you want Harry to join Britannia or the Black Knights. However that won't be for a couple of chapters. I've narrowed the choices for pairings down to Milly, Cornelia, Kaguya, or Cecile.
