Hey reader! Just a quick message. This is a male/male relationship so if you'd rather not read about it then no offence taken - you chose. Also its rather slow moving - I think, I mean I'm just making it up as I go along so I have a very vague idea about what will happen, but that means you can give me ideas! I love getting help! Anyway please enjoy!

CH1 - "Oh come on!"
"No."
Harry was sitting cross legged and cross armed in Albus Dumbledore's office glaring daggers into the ageing headmasters face - pouting.
"Harry please just lis-"
"No, nope, nuh uh. I will not be forced into any more of your little games Dumbledore -"
"I insist you call me Albus please-"
"- do I care? - I will not go back in time to the year of a 16 going on 17 year old Voldemort as an 11 year old again just to go and make out with him and stop him becoming the monster he already is, I mean even you said told me that he was a troubled person from the start!"
"Yes he was - well is - troubled! He was alone and scared with no one looking out for him and no parents! That's enough to make anyone go insane! You of all people should understand! -"
"Are you calling me insane!" Harry said challenging -and still pouting- at Dumbledore. Sighing Dumbledore tried another approach. He'd tell Harry the whole truth.
"Harry stop being stubborn and just listen to me for a moment, then you can do the rest of the talking." Albus said almost pleadingly to Harry. Who, as stubborn as he was, wanted to give Dumbledore his very last chance.
"Fine!" He said watching the head masters every move. Albus shifted in his chair to make himself more comfortable and clasped his hands together, then began.
"I assume you've heard of soul mates before Harry?" he said Looking at Harry to confirm his statement. With a jerk from the latter he continued.
"Well nearly everyone has one. Though every few century's a pair of powerful soul mates are made and chosen by magic - often of the same sex - and are chosen for a special purpose. However if the souls are not together by when one of the people carrying the souls turn 17, it will begin to turn that person insane and mad, whilst the other soul, who is often younger will eventually become crazy when turning the same age."
Albus said looking at Harry as if to create special effect, which to no ones surprise didn't work.
"So what has this got to do with me going back to the the time of 17 year old Voldemort?" Harry said tilting his head.
"Well what I'm trying to say is that you and Voldemort are soul mates. Who both think that they need to kill each other, which will lead to complete ruin! You and him are the special powerful pair of this century and if one of you kill the other, the one left will live a deranged and demented life, never able to be healed. For once I am not thinking about the Wizarding world Harry. I'm looking out for you! Because I know what its like to feel lost and alone and deranged and I can't let an innocent boy go down the same path as I did! So please just go with the plan to save you...and him."
Albus was breathing heavily now and looked lost and desperate. Harry on the other hand was confused.
"I kind of understand why I need to go back in time, but where will I go? or stay when I'm not in Hogwarts? Besides a 16 year old can't just randomly walk into sixth year of Hogwarts and make up a whole load of crap and expect them to believe me."
"Well that's where it gets complicated. I -er -made a deal with magic that if I give up my magic -"
"What!-"
"-then it will send you safely back in time as an eleven year old. Changing your whole life into one which you deserved. You will have a mother, a father and even brothers and sisters. It will give you new memories, but your current ones will stay the same and you won't forget anything. Your life will start all over again from when you first came to Hogwarts on wards. This is your chance and your only chance alone to have a happy life Harry! Would you like that chance?" Dumbledore stared at Harry more serious than he'd ever seen him.
Harry couldn't talk. He had a chance to be happy. To have what he always wanted, a family, but what of his friends? Well yeah Ron and Hermione turned out to be crappy friends after all - only wanted all the fame - but Neville and Luna? What about them?
"You have a as long as your seventeenth birthday to think about it but after it will be to late and you and Voldemort will have to kill each other." Dumbledore said, cutting Harry from his thoughts.
"I...I...what about you!?" Harry said not convinced that that the head master would give up all his magic just for him.
"As hard as it is to believe. I've grown fond of you. I...I see you as my son in a sense...And I can't believe what I put you through. Your relatives - I know how vile they were to you yet I turned a blind eye to it. And all the other things I did to you...no person like me deserves an amazing gift like magic, besides what do I have to live for? A crumbling corrupt world? Constant evil spreading and stealing our children into the shadows? I would much rather be gone rather than stay, but as for you. Well you have potential and a chance to do good make a difference and most importantly. To be happy."
Albus said looking straight into Harry's eyes, without an ounce of a lie in them. Harry was scared - no - petrified. As much as he hated the old man he couldn't destroy his life just so himself could get a better one. But on the other hand -
"Are you sure?" Harry asked genuinely curious and worried about his headmaster. Albus smiled a twinkly smile and nodded. But Harry couldn't bring himself to say yes.
"Harry, my time has come to and end anyway. I don't care what will happen to me. I've lived my life, so now its time to live yours." Albus said smiling sadly.
"C - Can we do it now please? I don't want to have to see their faces know it will be the last time I see them because the last time I was with them it was all happy and I want that to be my last memory of them. I know it sounds mea-" Harry said beginning to rabble, with his face going a bright scarlet colour.
"If that is what you want then so be it. I understand how you feel. Last goodbyes can be...well not the definition of a happy ending." Albus said standing up and walking to the pensieve, motioning Harry to follow.
"Harry your hand please." Holding out his frail hand to Harry, who slowly took it and gulped staring at the as though pensieve a rogue hippogriff would jump out at any moment. Albus lifted up his wand and cleared his throat.
"Apertum Portal Ostium!" He shouted clearly. swishing his wand in a box movement three times. After the third time a door appeared in front of them filled with blinding light with steps attached to it on top of the pensieve. Next he held up their linked hands and pointed at them.
"Connexio! Eum Patior Digredior! intromitto huic puero subintroeo in terra beatitudo in vita sua!" Another blinding light appeared which was a fiery red, began to snake around Harry as if binding him, then disappearing into thin air. Suddenly a strong gust of air appeared to them in a whirl wind, Harry felt a strong sense of the most powerful magic he'd ever felt and an overwhelming feeling of safeness and protection. Harry could also just make out a figure of a woman.
Albus bowed down to the figure, pulling Harry down with him and saying. "Cara mater magicae..." The figure stayed motionless for a moment then reached out a hand and touched Albus's cheek, lifting him up, whispering something Harry couldn't hear. Albus looked up into the woman's face and nodded. She then turned to Harry and held out her hand.
"Are you ready to do this?" She said asking Harry staring seriously at Harry. Harry like Albus nodded and took her outstretched hand after releasing Dumbledore's. The woman tilted her head to the side with the most beautiful smile Harry had ever seen. "Any last goodbyes? If not then we can on our way."
Harry gulped. He had so much to say. Sorry's, thank you's, I love you's, but there was one person he had to thank the most.
"A...Albus? I just want to say thank you...for all the good things you've done for me. For taking me to a place where I felt wanted and protected and...and for caring for me and being the first fatherly figure in my life. I also want you to know that you're to hard on yourself. I think you're brilliant. And cunning and most of all selfless in more ways than one. So thank you." Harry said blushing about how cheesy it probably sounded. Albus on the other hand, had silver tears streaming down his face.
"Thank you. No one has ever said that to me - well at least not the people I've cared about...I - I will miss you." With that Harry smiled a watery smile at Dumbledore and nodded to the woman who he now guessed to be Mother Magic and nodded.
"I'm ready." At once a huge gust of wind swirl around him and Magic came right up to him placing a kiss on his head, smiled at Albus and lead harry up the stairs to the glowing door...
