Chapter two

His mind was spinning when he woke up into what he remembered to be the Hogwarts courtyards where the murder of tom riddle happened. The only difference is that it is now no longer in ruins and it is just what he remembers it to be the only difference is that Albus Dumbledore is now walking up to him. His conclusion is that once again he has died.

The headmaster of Hogwarts walks up to the unknown wizard that set off the castle's wards. He points his wand at them and says, " who are you and how did you get here?". The mysterious person looks confused.

"What do you mean sir don't you recognise me?" He looks younger, he thought, wait why doesn't he recognise me. " sir, what is the date? And year?" he asks cautiously, hoping he is wrong.

"The date is August the 17th 1977. Who are you?" the headmaster asks the infamous twinkle leaving his eyes. The younger wizard's eyes widen in understanding.

"I'm not too sure if I can say to be honest to you." the headmaster is not sure what to make out of this new knowledge. The twinkle is back in his eyes now and Harry is now at slightly more ease. "If we can talk in your office I would happily tell you what happened."

The walk to the office was in silence. An awkward silence. When they arrived, Harry was still trying how to decide if he should tell him the truth or if he should lie. "My name is Harry Potter and I think I am from 21 years in the future," he told his deceased headmaster bluntly.

"If you don't mind me asking, but is there any way you can prove this as it is impossible or at least never heard of."

"Well, I can't tell you anything of the future as that you already know." at Dumbledore's reluctant nod he continued. "I know that you blame yourself for your sister's death, you were friends with Grindelwald before you realised he was evil, that was the reason you and your brother have now stopped talking for many years. Oh, and I also know that you prefer socks for your birthday and Christmas to books although of what everyone thinks," he said really quickly, knowing that his headmaster would not be comfortable with him knowing all this.

" Wow that is quite a lot, I must admit, I'm impressed. I believe you. Now, do you know how you travelled back in time so we can get you back as there is a great danger with you being here." he said uncomfortably.

"I'm afraid not sir, but the last thing was I was at a friends house and there was an attack and I managed to keep them out there with a few wards of mine, that I managed to make in time, then I remember my wand started to burn up in my hand and then I woke up here," he explained.

"Was the wards broken before you returned here, then one of the attackers made up a spell and cursed you with it or a spell gone wrong?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

"No, sir." Came the reply.

"Is there anything special about your wand?" he asked curiously.

At this, Harry was a little startled because he was still the master of the elder wand and his other wand was a brother to Voldemort's. "I'm afraid I can't say sir except it has been broken and I mended it. I am also the master of two wands," he added as an afterthought.

"Alright, well, for the time being, by any chance would you still be a student at Hogwarts as I would prefer it if you stayed near me. If not the defence against the dark arts position is still open if you have good results on your NEWTS, as you look old enough."

At this, Harry chuckled, as he had assumed this and had wanted to stay in Hogwarts. "Well, I didn't finish my last year, so I suppose I could finish it while I am here." he decided, trying to keep the details to himself.

Dumbledore noticed how Harry's eyes lit up in relief that he would be staying, he presumed it had to do with Voldemort or his death eaters and decided not to question it.

"What house were you in?" he asked already knowing the answer.

"Gryffindor, of course," he answered with house pride.

"We will need to change your name so there will be no connections with any of the students here, as I am sure you know there is a James Potter," he suggested his eyes twinkling with knowledge. At Harry's nod, he continued, " we'll keep the harry, and change the last name to something you will recognise to avoid confusion. How about Jameson?"

" yes, I think I will be able to remember that."

"So school will start on September 1st until then you can stay in the leaky cauldron, I could make an arrangement with Tom then you get on the train with all the other students. If you do not mind then I will tell professor McGonagall what has happened if something happens and I am out of the school if that is okay with you?"

"Yeah, that will be fine, but should I change my appearance, as I am often told that I am a carbon copy of my father," he added as an afterthought.

"Well, we'll want the changes to be as easy as possible or that will last the year as we do not know how long you will be staying here. We could die your hair with muggle hair dye, as the hair is a Potter trait." his eyes were twinkling the brightest during that meeting when Harry snorted. At his nod, he continued " If we go see the professor so we can tell her, then we can floo to the leaky cauldron."

On the way to the transfiguration professor's office this time, once again there was silence, but a comfortable silence. Harry was wondering how different his old professor would be taking this news compared to his headmaster as he had no information on her, unlike the headmaster.

When they walked into the office the professor was found writing up some new lesson plans.

Dumbledore knocked on the door when she didn't notice the pair walk in. "Professor we are going to have a new student this year." Dumbledore started will putting silencing wards around the office.

At this, Harry stepped forward so he could be seen by the professor noticing the wards. "Albus, what is the reason for the silencing wards?" professor McGonagall asked wondering if it was to do with the new student that she had just seen.

"I'm afraid I have some information that cannot go outside these walls." came the headmaster's reply in all seriousness. "This student is called harry potter and he has come from the future. His name while being here will be Harry Jameson and he will be here until we can figure out how to put him back in his own time."

"How do we know he is not a death eater?" asked the professor warily.

"I have questioned him and he has given information that not even you know but if you have any questions for him then please go ahead."

"Alright, how far from the future did you come from?"

"2nd May 1998" he replied hoping that his professor would remember the date in the future when everyone is worried where he has gone.

"Why would you not join he who must not be named?"

"He has tried to kill me and everything I care about and almost succeeded," he replied with a distant look in his eyes.

"I believe him, but what classes will he be taking?"

"I was taking, in my own time, NEWT potions, NEWT defence against the dark arts, NEWT transfiguration, NEWT charms, NEWT care of magical creatures and NEWT herbology."

"Well, here is the booklist that you will require," McGonagall said after writing the booklist for him. "Here is the train ticket that you will need to get on the train I trust you know how to get through the barrier."

"Well, we must get going professor, for Harry will be staying in the leaky cauldron till school starts." the two took the floo in the deputy headmistress' office to the leaky cauldron.

"Hello Tom, do you have a spare for Harry here, until 1st September," Dumbledore said whilst pulling out a money bag out of his purple robes.

After the exchange, Dumbledore said his farewell and promised he'd have a look into things with a wink.
