A/N This is my retelling of the story of Harry Potter with the aid of some of the members of my fictional organization, the Fragments of the Infinite, although they won't be members in the story. All my stories will contain that element.
Harry looked around. It looked like he was at King's Cross, but he couldn't be. He was dead, wasn't he?
"Hello, Harry." came an unfamiliar voice.
Harry turned around and saw a young man with short white hair and strange golden eyes. "Um, who are you?" Harry asked.
"My name is Verum, and I know what you are thinking, so I will just tell you. You're in limbo Harry." Verum answered.
"Limbo?" Harry asked.
"Yes, limbo." Verum replied, "Now that train over there will take you to Death's realm, the one over there will send you back to the battle with Voldemort."
"What about that train?" Harry asked, taking a seat.
"Well, that train is special and it is part of a deal I have for you." Verum said, smiling.
"What kind of deal?" Harry asked.
"How would you like to save the lives lost in this war, as well as a few from the last?" Verum asked already knowing the answer.
"I would jump at the chance." Harry said with a hint of joy in his voice.
"Good. Now, onto the details. The only thing I will change before hand is the year 1981. When Tom attacks, a creation of mine will save them. Tom will die that night, but will still roam as a spectre. That creation will drop me off as an infant claiming I am his son. He will ask your parents to raise me as he is going to die soon. Your parents will agree, and my creation will die a few days later saving Frank and Alice Longbottom." Explained Verum.
"Wait, how will I be able to change everything else? Will I remember?" Harry questioned.
"Very good Harry. Though as a security precaution I will make it so you act like a normal child and not a seventeen year old, you will also know when and when not to reveal your knowledge." Verum continued.
"Okay, I am going to take your deal, but before we go, may I ask you something?" Harry asked.
"You just did." Joked Verum.
"Gee thanks, Dumbledore." Replied Harry, slight annoyed.
"Hehe, sorry, the chance was too good to pass up. Yes you may ask me some questions." Verum said, chuckling.
"How many people will I be saving?" Harry asked.
"Well, I don't know the number, but I can give you a few examples of who will be saved. Your parent will live, thus they will be able to confirm Wormtail was the traitor, though he will escape. The Longbottoms will be saved from insanity. The rest is up to you." Replied Verum.
"Okay, so are we going to go now?" Asked Harry, almost whining.
"Harry, be patient. I have a few more things to say. I will make some changes as we go to compensate for my existence in the timeline. Oh, and I just realized, since your parents and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were members of the first order, you will get to meet Ron and Ginny early, I recommend you start wooing her in your third or fourth year. Okay, let's go." Verum finished.
And so Harry and Verum boarded the train to Harry's second chance.
Author notes
Okay, short I know, but I was just setting the story up. The rest of the chapters should be longer.
The next chapter will take place a few years after the fall of Riddle, in it Harry and Verum will "meet" the Weasleys.
Read, Review, you know the drill. Questions are welcome, flames are not.
