Harry was already an auror for over 35 years now, and after being alive for 56 years he certainly made things that he regrets doing, and his biggest regret is that he trusted blindly at the man that was like a grandfather to him, he was a man that he could tell all his problems to him it was like a real family, but in the end he was just being controlled by him all the time, Dumbledore ''the leader of the light'', this man made Harry ignorant all his life for him to be easily manipulated, he didn't let harry know of his family, their will, not even that Sirius was his godfather, if he didn't discovered himself Harry probably would never know, he didn't let Harry know that he had a real family that loved him and cared for him.
And if that wasn't good enough there was the Weasleys, after the war was over Harry discovered the use of the amortentia and the slavery potions that they were using in Harry and best friend, luckily for Harry he could get free from the potion with some antidotes, but for Hermione it was too late because of the reckless use of the potion that Ronald Weasley was doing, that day Harry almost killed Ron with cruciatus before the entire weasley family came to save him, and when the Weasleys knew that harry would be an auror they were afraid that harry could do something against then in the ministry so Arthur Weasley made everything he could in the ministry to don't let harry be an auror, of course he failed, but even after Harry brought the subject to the ministry even with all his influence over then the Weasleys were free from accusations for ''lack of evidence''.
Along the years Harry tried to find a cure for his best friend that was in the effects of the potion, but without luck, Harry instead turned his attention to the time-turner, the device that allow the user to go back in time, however it is limited seeing that you can only go back in time 5 hours without backfire, beyond this after the 5 hours pass you go back to the modified present you made, Harry passed all these years in research to make a different version of the time-turner, this version makes only your mind and not your body go back in a time when you were alive, the only backfire Harry found was that he can't determine how much in time he will go back, apart from that nothing more.
Right now Harry was in the ruins of the potter manor preparing himself for the ritual he was about to make, this was the only place Harry could do the ritual because he took out all the vigilance wards of the ministry that surrounded the manor and placed his own wards to prevent anyone to come after him.
''okay let's begin'' harry was in the potter manor garden holding his wand with one hand in neck length with closed eyes, this was a tiring ritual an if made wrong there would be several consequences one of them would be that your existence could be completely erased from history so he needed complete concentration to make the ritual.
'' tempus est amicus meus, revertatur in me animam meam ponere'' Harry repeated this over and over until several white orbs of light came out his wand and began surround him, then the orbs stopped to hear the next words of their master.
'' hoc tempus meliorem erit'' the balls slowly descended to melt with the ground just to form a weak glowing magic circle with ancient writings surrounding Harry.
'' et iuro'' then the circle began glowing strongly with the passing seconds, after a time the light begun to swirl around him, after he said this it was like the world around him began stretching until all he saw was a pure black.

''up, get up! Now!'' these was the first words that catch Harry's ears before he began smiling ear to ear.
''ha! It worked it fucking worked!'' harry stood up from his bed and picked his glasses just to see his old dusty cupboard room, even if this room was one of his nightmares in Harry's early years he couldn't help but smile, smile at the thought that he could fix his life, his errors, his wrongs decisions, this time would be different, and he even almost missed the place.
Harry heard the steps in the stairs above him and knew just who were making the loud noise just from his annoying childish voice.
''wake up cousin we're going to the zoo!'' Harry felt the dust fall on his face, ''just like last time'' he thought as he was getting out of his room when he felt the hands of his cousin throw him back to his room ''that one too''.
Harry finally could get up and make his way to the kitchen just to hear the babbling that his uncle and aunt were doing for their little Dudley.
"oh there he is the birthday boy!" Petunia said this almost screaming while she was babying her little baby boy
"happy birthday son'' said the walrus sounding prideful of his son
''why just you don't cook the breakfast and try not to burn anything?'' said the old hag with poison and hate in her mouth, as Harry said he almost missed the place.
''yea yea I'll do it'' Harry said this while giving a look in her eyes that was unknown to her as he made his way to the kitchen to cook the breakfast.
''hurry up with this kid'' spoke the walrus never looking away from his journal.
''okay I'm going, calm down damn'' Harry was losing his patience but placed the breakfast nevertheless.
His uncles where looking strange to him they never saw Harry act like this before even more to do not treat them with respect, his uncles shared a look before turning their attention to their baby boy.
''aren't they wonderful darling?'' Petunia said this in the hopes that her baby boy would like but to her surprise her little Dudley was a bit disappointed.
''how many are there?'' screamed the walrus junior amused with the ''little'' number of presents that gained this year.
Harry made his way to the bed in the cupboard to spare himself to the babysitting that his uncles were doing with his cousin, he didn't have time to be preoccupied with these little shits, the longer the time he had the better.
'' it seems that I came back before receiving the letter from Hogwarts, that's good, at least I have a few days until the letter arrives to plan my next steps'' Harry sat in his bed and picked a few papers to write down his next steps.
'' firstly I need my occlumency back It would be dangerous if anyone swathe ritual or if voldie see something else, so this one first, secondly I can't draw too much attention to me these first years, I don't want the ministry asking how an eleven old boy killed Voldemort, so gotta get low for now, lastly there are Sirius, sorry Sirius but you'll have to wait the two years until I can act without being suspected'' this hurt Harry's heart but if he act now this would be a problem, he will have to wait until Sirius get out by himself to help him.
''Let's go boy I don't have all day'' his uncle's scream bought him back to reality, he folded the paper and keep on the shelf of his room to future plans, but for now it was all ready
Harry made his way to the door were his uncle was and said ''do I really have to go?'' he really did not want to pass through all that things again, it was already tiring to be with his uncles again much more go to the zoo with them.
''it would be much better to don't have you around I don't even know why we're bringing you with us, stay here if want I don't care'' this was convenient, he could already begin his training in occlumency and didn't have to hear his annoying uncles all day.
''I'll do'' he said while grinning evilly and closing slowly the door, this will be a great day.

Harry sat in the couch cross-legged, it was time to build up his occlumency skill, it was rather easy, for him of course, the only difficult part was the memory arrangement he had to sort them one by one it is a tiring task but he would do it.
''ok the easy part first, the first and the main shield to protect your mind, this will be the first shield the legilimens will have to pass, or at least try in my case, let's see here…''
Harry closed his eyes and concentrated in his mind, after a few seconds he was in a white room full of memories flying around.
''if I don't fix that shit, this will be a full banquet for these legilimens bastards, first of all let's build the shields''
Harry poured magic into his wand and began making continuous movements for a long time until a huge silver dome begun to form around him.
''that's pretty easy really, it's just imagine a really hard material to compose your shield, like vibranium from captain america, although most of the occlumens use a castle or a house as a barrier, pretty weak really''
''my next step is to sort my memories, it's not really necessary but it will make the security go up by leaps and bounds, most common errors that people do is skip this phase making their security poor, let's get fast with this shall we?''
Harry made a big library full of bookshelves wherein each one was some real memories disguised as a book, the rest of the books in each bookshelf was a fake memory, it looked simple but he still had to sort each memory in the right place and forge the fake memories, it was a tough job but it was worth the effort.
Harry stopped there, for now he was just going to do that after all he still had time, so he waited until his uncles arrived.
-x-
After some real boring days of sorting and forging memories Harry was eager and impatiently waiting his Hogwarts letter, when he finally heard an owl noise outside of the house he just knew what that was.
''finally, there you are'' he said while holding a piece of paper and smiling ear to ear
