(Harry Potter's personal journal)
The war has come to an end but the costs have been too great. I, Harry Potter, the chosen one, the boy who lived, am the last one standing. This bloody war has killed every one I ever loved. It started with Sirius; he was one of the first casualties. Next to die was Dumbledore: he had sacrificed himself for the greater good. Slowly over the next four years everyone else I cared for had died. All the Weasleys had been killed in their sleep on Christmas morning when their house was burnt to the ground. And Hermione, my dear sweet Hermione, she was my light in the dark, and my one true love. We fell in love in our sixth year when Ron started snogging Lavender to make Hermione jealous, that plan didn't work to well. Hermione lasted right up to the end, but she died in the last battle just before I killed Voldemort.
Now I can change all that, I have found a ritual to send me back to my fifth year. I will return and rewrite the past. The ritual is rather dark seeing as I have to kill myself. The book gives instructions for a potion that takes a year to finish, after I drink that I will slit my own throat. Slightly gruesome but hey it's not called dark magic for nothing. Anyways it should send me back in time to the 31st of October. (I swear that is the worst day of the year for me, my parents were killed, me tackling a troll, Chamber of Secrets was opened, and the tri-wizard tournament, to name a few.)The potion is finally finished and the ritual can begin. 'Well here it goes, 1995 here I come.'
Harry downed the potion in one gulp and proceeded to slit his throat. He fell lifelessly to the floor. Harry Potter savior of the world was dead, or was he.
Unfortunately for one Harry James Potter the book he had gotten the ritual from had been written a millennium ago by Dark Lord Ultimus. Of course he wasn't very lordly because he loved to pull pranks on unsuspecting wizards. His pranks usually ended in someone's death, which is how he got Dark Lord status. He had a very morbid sense of humor as he wrote a book about a dark ritual that didn't work at all. All it did was have an extremely desperate wizard kill himself thinking he would go back in time, like going years into the past was possible. So regrettably our hero Harry Potter really was dead.
