Beginning note thing: This goes on starting in the middle of the battle at the Ministry. This is my first fic!
Chapter 1: The Incident
Harry launched himself across the floor and grabbed the Death Eater around the knees, causing him to topple and his aim to go awry. Neville overturned a desk in his anxiety to help; and pointing his wand wildly at the struggling pair, he cried:
"EXPELLIARMUS!"
Both Harry's and the Death Eater's wands flew out of their hands and soared back towards the entrance to the Hall of Prophecy; both scrambled to their feet and charged after them, the Death Eater in front, Harry hot on his heels, and Neville bringing up the rear, plainly horrorstruck by what he had done.
"Get out of the way, Harry!" yelled Neville, clearly determined to repair the damage.
Harry flung himself sideways, landing just a few feet away from his wand, and grabbing it as Neville took aim again and shouted:
"STUPEFY!"
The jet of red light flew right over the Death Eaters shoulder and hit a glass-fronted cabinet on the wall full of variously shaped hour-glasses; the cabinet fell to the floor and burst apart, glass flying everywhere, and exploding into a bright starburst of white light spiderwebbed with streaks of purple and green. The light grew brighter and brighter, and Harry's vision seemed to be distorted. The last thing he remembered was saying
"Well shit." before his vision went dark.
When he woke, the first thing Harry noticed was that it was dark. It wasn't so dark that he couldn't see anything but not light enough to see well. That led to the second thing he noticed, which was that the lenses of his glasses were completely gone. He tapped them with his wand and whispered:
"Oculus Reparo," restoring his vision.
He looked around to see what was going on, and soon found Neville and the death eater a few meters away from him. Both of them were still unconscious, so he revived Neville with a quick
"Enervate," and conjured ropes around the death eater, taking his wand. Harry took the time while he was waiting for Neville to revive to observe his surroundings.
He was in a clearing in a forest, near a little cottage with dim lights in the windows. There was no moon in the sky, and the air was cool and crisp. He saw that Neville had woken up and said worriedly:
"Hey, Neville, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," he said sleepily. "Where is everybody?"
"No idea. All I know is that case of time turners fell on us and now we're in the middle of nowhere with some death eater. I already have him tied up over there," he said, indicating the body."We need to get back to help everyone out with the battle!"
"Harry," said Neville, wide-eyed "I think we've gone back in time!" he said, just as from the cottage they heard a scream.
They immediately ran over to see what was happening, and found thdo front door to be unlocked.
"Do you think it's alright to just go in?" Neville said apprehensively.
"We have to. Someone sounds hurt." Harry said, pulling out his wand.
They stepped in, and saw burn marks all over the kitchen and living room. Following the trail, they nearly tripped over an exact copy of Harry except with lifeless brown eyes.
"Oh no, oh no! This can't be!" said Harry before fainting on the spot.
