Summary: Tom Riddle and Harry Potter were raised as brothers. Not because of some sort of brilliant and compassionate plan from Harry. It's because everything else failed. Just like he'll fail trying to make Tom a better person... He didn't know it yet, but when he realizes, he'll be too deep inside Tom's webs to escape.
Notes: Not beta'd because no one wants to do it, sorry.
CHAPTER ONE
.o.
Feeling Death breathing down on his neck, Harry desperately tries to find a way to kill Voldemort as quickly as he could after having destroyed all the horcruxes. When Voldemort invaded Hogwarts, Harry was to let himself die so they could kill the snake bastard. But apparently Ron haven't accepted that and throw himself in front of Harry when the sick green light was shot at him. As he fell in despair, Arthur apparated with Ron's body, not noticing that he also side-along apparated Harry with him from Hogwarts and got them inside the Ministry. Not accepting being protected while the others would suffer, Harry ran to the Veil's room so he could kill himself there.
When he fell inside the veil, instead of fucking dying, he felt himself waking up naked in a narrow and hard bed and completely naked. On top of him were the invisible cloak, a stone and Dumbledore's former wand. After getting up from the bed and covering himself with his cloak he goes to inspection where he was and what he found, make zero sense. He was in a hut in the middle of a never ending dead forest.
When he goes to look for clothes to wear, he finally noticed some horribly detail: he was not on his body. The body he was wearing was at least 40 years old, blond and really tall!
Trying not dwell on these horrifying facts he get some clothes on and tries to concentrate deeply before attempting to apparate himself to Hogwarts. He would definitely find answers there. If the war was still going in, he would find a way to fucking die already.
When he arrives at Hogwarts… What he sees there, instead of crumbles and dirty from the war, it's a shiny Hogwarts looking like he had never seen it before. Not even before the war.
"Excuse me, lads, but could you tell me what today's date is?" Harry asks for a group of students which were passing by. Their clothes were strange and definitely weird, but he went back at looking at their faces instead of clothes.
The boys look at him like he had grown another head. But one of them replies to him, "It's May 2nd, sir."
Harry shakes his head in denial, that could not be true! Hesitantly, he asked another question before they could go, "From each year?"
"1798, sir," the boy replies. "Are you well?"
Harry shakes his head again and leave without thanking the boy. He put the invisible cloak on and literally run to the school's library.
In the restricted section there must have something about time traveling. He needed to get himself to his old own time and kill Voldemort!
After frantically searching for something, when exhaustion started to kick in, he suddenly thought about making his wishes finally come true: kill Tom Riddle before he could turn himself into Voldemort! It was possible! He had wished this for so long during his sleepless Instead of going to 1998 he could go to 1937 and kill Riddle before he could go to Hogwarts! He resumes his search again with renovated vigor.
The day, turned into night.
Then it turned into four days.
Harry was exhausted. Everything in his body hurt. Everything.
On the night of the sixth day, he finally found a ritual to travel to the future! Only, he'll need to use all the blood of a newborn baby and when transported back in time, posses someone's body…
Harry sighs, he was feeling like he would start crying.
The prospect of saving everyone's lives... Hundreds of people was worth though.
But as things are never easier and Harry couldn't just kill a baby, after waiting three months for an opportunity. He finally found the solution to his problem, and then only a day later he used the blood of a just buried stillborn for the ritual. He was very, very hesitant to do it, but he knew deep down the he could never kill a baby.
It was only after finishing the ritual and his soul was suck through time, he started to lose consciousness. He should have been awake so he could choose someone to posses, but he couldn't keep his 'eyes' opened and felt himself slowing down before he could arrive at his chosen year. As he felt himself fall into earth, he's pulled into a baby. Immediately attaching his soul to the body, killing the new soul in the process, without a way to get out.
"Congratulations, it's a boy!"
Was the last thing he heard before blacking out.
.o.
Living in a body of a baby was hard. He was expecting to have problem after possessing someone else's body, but he never thought of that he would end up in a baby.
Beside having to live as a newborn with all his memories from his life, thinking like an 17 year-old boy, he couldn't control his body! His life was pooping, eating and sleeping for an eternity. Should he mention that eating in a woman's breast? For god's sake, if his vision wasn't so bad, he would probably refuse to suckle on his mother's things.
Time passed slowly. But when he was one month from completing 1 year old, Harry was finally able to read. The first that went on a search for now that he could actually focus and got his ability to read again was a calendar. However, when he sees the date... He throws it across the room, angry. He had just discovered that he's in December 31 of 1927.
Tom Marvolo Riddle is just turning one year old today.
What does it mean for him? Basically, that he needs to start planning what he's going to do.
He has time, he can't go kill a toddler when he's just a toddler himself. Yes, he does have time, but time won't wait for him to catch up.
