(Dumbledore's POV)

I have always loved watching students grow and learn and befriend each other but I have never been so fond of a group of friends in my entire teaching career.

Harry and his friends have broken more rules in the 5 years that I have known them then I had Ever dreamed of at their age. They are about to end their 5th year here at the castle (The castle had summoned young miss Weasley a year earlier then expected) having endured the torture of that horrible woman Umbridge. I watched as the four of them along with young Mr. longbottom and Young Miss lovegood ran off into the forest through the eyes of Fawkes who I charged with watching the castle once I had been run off. The ingenuity of these six was awe inspiring and made me wish I had half their spunk.

I knew where they where they were headed but I could not go I instead would need to send word to the Order and have them dispatched I can only hope it's not too late. I would also need to convince Serious not to go if I had to I would task the young house elf Dobby to use his elf magic to trap him in the house. He would be angry but it is for the best. There where two possible outcome for this day I can only wonder as to which it might be.

(Harry's POV)

Sirius wasn't here I knew he wasn't but I had to be sure Ginny, Hermione Ron and I were running from death eaters we had been separated from Neville and Luna I only hoped they were okay. The four of us were running through a room the symbol above the door was a clock so this must be like a room of time of some sorts, which based on what we had passed so far seemed accurate enough. So far we had passed clocks of all sorts and a cabinet of time turners and some other time related things that I could only guess as to what they were.

We rounded a turn and came to a sudden, stop a dead end, we stood in front of some sort of indoor lake. We could hear death eaters closing in on us as we gazed on the lake we saw it ripple and in the ripples hues of gold and red and silver could be seen. We almost didn't notice when the death eaters started throwing curses, we turned around and fired back and the four of us stood back to back as we fought tooth and nail to keep them from hurting us.

Just when we thought we had broken through one of the middle death eaters threw a curse that landed in front of us and threw the 4 of us back into the depths of the lake. I watched as an invisible force blocked them from entering in after us, I sensed pure goodness emanating from the depths of the water just before what seemed like invisible hands began dragging us down deeper and deeper into the lake, surprisingly I found that even though I was under water I could breathe just fine and I could see perfectly as the other 3 were dragged down with me identical looks of confusion on their faces.

Suddenly I was thrust into darkness and I knew instantly that I was no longer in the lake but I was on what appeared to be a bed I opened my Eyes to find that I was laying in a familiar bed in a familiar dorm. I was instantly confused how could I go from the depths of what appeared to be a bottomless lake to my bed in my dorm at Hogwarts.

I was so confused and I lay there going over in my head everything that just happened when suddenly the curtains to my bed were thrown open and I was staring into the face of my father.

Well I think it was him if I didn't know any better I would say I was looking into a mirror.

"Oh, come on Harry get up today's the game against Slytheryn, we need to clobber them If we want to be In the final match for the Quidditch cup!" He huffed and went to the foot of my bed rummaging in the trunk there and tossing me what appeared to be my Qudditch uniform. I say appeared to be because the number was different.

Figuring I would just go along with this until I figured out what the hell was going on I dressed and it wasn't until I replaced my glasses onto my face that I noticed the calendar. January 18, 1975 was circled in bright red ink, I grabbed the calendar and rushed over to the bed I assumed was Ron's and I got lucky. He was there fast asleep, I quickly shook him awake and he shot bolt upright.

"Harry what in the name of Merlin just happened to us?" He almost shouted I quickly shushed him and thrust the calendar in his face. "BLOODY HELL!" I clamped my hand over his mouth and made sure no one had notice his out burst luckily in this Alternate time he had a tendency to shout this out as much as he did in the old one.

"Ron we need to stay calm and go with this, it seems as if we've gone back in time. Giving into the shock will not help us right now. I don't know how or why but until we figure it out we need to go along with this." he nodded so I let go of his mouth, "Now if this calendar is correct then we are back in school with the maurders. now nonchalantly go to your trunk as if it's any other day for a Quidditch match and get dressed and look and see of maybe there is a clue for you and I'll send a letter to Dumbledore he might be the only one who can help us. After we need to find Hermione and Ginny." He nodded and got out of bed and did as I said as he did that I went to my own trunk with the pretense of looking for my gloves which I already had but nobody else knew I did.

After thoroughly searching my trunk I gave up there wasn't anything there other then the fact that I appeared to be just as messy in this time line as the last. I was jut about to close the lid when a letter caught my eye it was pinned to the top of my trunk as if I had put it there. I grabbed the letter and closed my trunk before I could open it a shout from across the room caught my attention.

"Oi, Harry, Evens is here to see you," My father/James or whatever called out with a pause then added, "Well one of them anyways."

I was confused until I saw Ginny rushing over to me and Hermione rushing to Ron.

Ginny stopped in front of me and whispered, "Did you get one too?"

I nodded, "We have a few hours before the match lets go down to the whomping willow tunnel Once we get into the shrieking shack we can talk without fear of being overheard.

She nodded and I motioned for Ron and Hermione to follow us each of them appeared to be clutching their own letters hopefully these would help us figure this out.
