Summery: Fate is convicted and what not for unfair and unruling behavior.
A/N: Ok, this is a redo of the entire chapter...thanks to some people pointing somethings out. And maybe I do need a beta.
Chapter 1
Prophecies
Albus Dumbledore looked into the Hogs Head, he was meeting with someone that was revered as the grand daughter of the famous seer, Sybil Trelawny for the position of Divination. Once he got there and had only spent half an hour with her, he was severely disappointed that she wasn't as gifted as he thought she was. As he got up to leave, she had rose up and made a prophecy:
"The ones with the power to vanquish the dark lord approaches...born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month is born and as the seventh month dies..."
At this point the there was a small struggle outside the door, Albus opened the door to see a young Severus Snape was lead down the stairs by the bartender. He cursed his luck, as he warded the room as she spoke once more.
"Bonded twice while separated by death, the two unite once more...Marked as his equals they shall have the powers the Dark Lord knows not...Neither one shall live while the other dies...They approach as the seventh month is born, and dies."
When she was done, she collapsed back into her chair, a little dazed, Dumbledore just stood there watching her intently. When she woke she asked if she had gotten the job with absolutely no recollection of the prophecy.
"Yes...I do have to say so myself that you have earned this position. Welcome to the Hogwarts staff." with a nod he left the room to plot and figure out what the prophecy meant.
OooOooO
Severus Snape was not a happy person at the moment, he had been subjected to the Cruciartus curse once again by the Dark Lord at the news of him being thrown out of the Hogs Head while he was to assassinate the 'Old Fool' which was Dumbledore. When he reported that he had heard of the prophecy he knew that he was in for it. However...
"What is this prophecy Severus?" Voldemort requested, no, commanding that he told him of it.
"Bonded twice while separated by death, the two unite once more...Marked as his equals they shall have the powers the Dark Lord knows not...Neither one shall live while the other dies...They approach as the seventh month is born, and dies." My lord, what do you plan to do?" Snape had almost cringed at asking a question when he was in no position to do so at the moment.
Without warning the most unforgivable curse was uttered. Severus almost died of fear that it was aimed at him. Instead a few meters away he heard a thud that signified that one of the lesser spies was killed. though he didn't spare a look at who it was, nor glance upward fearing he would incur the wrath of the dark lord once again.
Instead he heard maniac laughter that chilled his very core. "The fools..." he whispered in a calm that belied his rage. "I'll kill them all...no one can kill me...NO ONE!" with that he turned to leave.
It was a few weeks later that Severus learned that Voldemort was going to go after the Potters as well as the Weasleys.
OooOooO
"WHAT?! Albus you can't be serious about this now can you?" Frank Longbottom asked the old wizard. "Surely you don't believe our son is this person that the prophecy speaks of do you?" he draped an arm around his pregnant wife's shoulder. Alice Longbottom was now going into her eighth month of pregnancy. "Albus, have you ever considered that someone else could have a baby at the same time we do? James just told me a month ago that they were going to have a son too!"
at that moment the Floo opened up and James came in followed shortly by the Weasley family as well as Lily. "Albus! Voldemort and his death eaters attacked us while we were in Diagon Alley. we managed to save the Weasley family from being killed by the killing curses he was shooting at us. We managed to escape after he found us for the last few days, almost killed us the fourth time he found us!"
At this point the headmaster put a hand up to silence them. "How many times have you four defied Voldemort?"
James gave the old man a strange look before answering "about three times, not including just now."
"I hope Bill is taking care of Charley, the twins and Percy..." Molly Weasley said for the first time since arriving. "They must be worried sick that we haven't returned!"
Before she or anyone else could say anything Dumbledore held up his hand as a gesture to be quiet. "It seems we have a problem here..." His face as grave as if though he were to go into a battle for his life, which was most accurate in a minute or so. "There was a prophecy that was made, and it states that two are to be born as the seventh month is born and dies..." at that point he abruptly stopped.
"Well Albus? What else does it mean?" Mr. Weasley asked, knowing he remembered something important.
"Molly...are you by any chance having another set of twins?" the old Headmaster asked politely. The seemingly random question had everyone looking at him as if though he were mad.
"Yes, why do you ask?" she replied, still confused at the question.
"When are you due, if I may ask."
She again gave him an odd face at the seemingly random questions. "Around the end of June, maybe beginning July. Albus, what does my being pregnant have to do with what your talking about? Surely there is more important matters than this!"
Dumbledore was thinking about this really hard in the small amount of time he had. "It appears we have four children to consider for this prophecy..." he strode over to one of his many trinkets and silver instruments to confirm his thoughts. "These saviors of the Magical world shall be born in early July as well as the last few days of the month. I now have reason to believe that your children may be those saviors."
From rapt attention to instant chaos the headmaster's office went, many questions fired, and only one or two of them being answered, while other questions were repeated over.
After a few minutes he silenced them all by shooting fireworks off. "Now that I have your attention again, I know it sounds a little strange. Given the circumstances, I myself don't believe in Divination. However, this is the Grand-daughter of the famous Seer." there were surprised looks at this. "here is what was said. The ones with the power to vanquish teh dark lord approaches...born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month is born and as the seventh month dies...Bonded twice while separated by death, the two unite once more...Marked as his equals they shall have the powers the Dark Lord knows not...Neither of the two shall live while the other dies...They approach as the seventh month is born, and dies."
since the room was in disarray from before, it was so quiet it was deafening. It didn't take long for them all to go into hiding, all of them in the same safe house, under the fedilus charm. Although it was just temporary, things changed rapidly.
OooOooO
On July 2nd Arthur Weasley was pacing around in a secured hallway with a handful of hit wizards while his wife was in labor with their twins. Sure he should be used to this by now, yet logic told him that anyone could die giving birth to children. Also the fact that one of the two being born now is going to help either the Longbottom or Potter child defeat the current Dark Lord. He suddenly stopped as a thought came to him, if they were going to finally have not one, but two daughters then that would solve their problems. As soon as that thought came it left, because that too was highly unlikely considering that they had all sons up to this point.
It's been a long while since the Weasley family has had any daughters...so best not get my hopes up...
Later that night, he was blessed with the seventh to be born, a daughter in seven generations withen the Weasley clan. Ronald Belius Weasley and Ginerva (Ginny) Molly Weasley were born. It had also been the night where an old spirit was reborn into the world.
OooOooO
The following weeks later showed the birthing of Harry James Potter, and Neville Longbottom, surprisingly both born at different times on the same day. July 31st, 1980, the same day they all went into hiding.
For the next few months Voldemort has been searching for the three families in hopes to destroy them, along with the threat of the saviors. Another lost soul born into the world. Both of which were destined to do great things, should fate not have intervened.
Fifteen months later
Voldemort broke into the hiding place along with the Lestranges, Barty Crouch Jr. the former going into a duel with James, the other three fighting off Arthur Weasley, Frank Longbottom while Lily and Alice ran up the stairs in hopes of getting the children out, the adrenaline forcing back any grief that they felt that this might be the last time they see their partners alive. Alice managed to get Neville and Ron out by portkey before anti-porkey wards went up.
I recognize that signature... Lily thought, she glanced out the window in time to see Albus disapparate elsewhere. Damn you Dumbledore...All this for the greater good? You would go as far as to kill a whole family?
Her thoughts ceased as Frank started to scream under the Cruciartus curse, and a sickening bang heard out in front of the nursery door, James Potter was no more.
Lily Potter shielded her only son and goddaughter, pleading and begging Voldemort to spare them and to take her instead. Both souls had reawakened to see what had happened on that fateful Halloween night. They seen that Lily Potter's love was not enough to shield them both, so they both gave half of their energies away to help shield from the killing curse that would come after Lily Potter died. Gin...
"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort sent, killing Lily Potter. He turned to the two toddlers who were holding each other in an embrace, should he had a heart he would've thought it was cute or some other thing. Yet being a heartless monster he just sneered before casting the killing curse again.
The sickly green light collided with some type of barrier and heading back towards the dark lord. His face showed surprise, fear, and confusion before it hit him he screamed in agony as his soul was ripped from his body. Not a moment later Arthur Weasley came running through the door to see an evil aura go colliding through him down the hall where his followers shrieked in fear and outrage. Moments later the order showed up and subdued the Lestranges and Barty Crouch Jr.
OooOooO
November 2nd, 1981
OooOooO
Peter Pettigrew knew immediately that he had made the wrong choice, and was currently on the run from not just Voldemorts followers, but also from Sirius Black and the Aurors. It had all happened so fast that he didn't know if it really happened or not.
Flashback The morning of October 31st, 1981
Peter was waiting for Voldemort at his little house near the potters, he was promised power and to be part of the inner circle of death eaters. Just a few hours ago Dumbledore told him that he was to be the secret keeper of the Potters, Weasleys, and the Longbottoms inside a large two storied house in Godric's Hollow. he knew that it would only be the Longbottom and the potters there that night, since only Arthur and their twin's would be staying there for the night.
It wasn't much longer when the Dark lord appeared with a small pop in the back yard, he wasn't alone however. Along with him was Bellatrix Lestrange, Bartimus Crouch Jr., Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange. He knew Voldemort was coming, but he wasn't ready for his unexpected guests. Though he didn't question his Lord's actions or motives, knowing full well what the price is.
"Ah, Wormtail, I hope you don't mind if I bring a few others do you?" Voldemort asked, although knowing full well that Peter had no choice. "We shall attack at night, come, we have things to plan out!"
End flashback
Peter knew that Harry, Ginny, Neville and Ron had survived the night, thanks to the quick thinking of Sirius Black, Mr. Weasley, and Alice Longbottom. Frank, James, and Lilly weren't as fortunate, James and lily had been killed by the Dark Lord, he knew that the Lestranges had something to do with disposing of Longbottom Sr.
All of it was printed into the Daily Prophet the day before, it was also said that Sirius Black was sending an entire Auror squad looking for him for the betrayal of James and Lily Potter, and Frank Longbottom. He suddenly picked up on a very familiar sent, one that he has been dreading for the last few days.
He didn't know how, but Black had found him, even in his rat form Sirius still found him. Sirius sent out a patronus, before he gave chase to Peter. And it ended with Sirius going to Azkaban for the murder of twelve muggles and one Peter Pettigrew when all of the other Death Eaters have been captured around December. Their one top Auror sent to the Prison for the crime while other Aurors were suspended for almost the same thing, half of the Auror force in shambles afterward for many years to come.
Everyone knew that Peter had been the secret keeper, but were shocked to know that Sirius went to the extremes to kill twelve muggles in the process of hunting down Peter.
OooOooO
On December 25th, 1981 Dumbledore took Harry Potter to live with his blood relatives, be damned with the Potter's Will. After all, Albus sent Sirius away knowing full well that he was innocent and that he never did send that Reductor curse at the street. All part of a plan to send Harry with someone else, he also agreed with the Wizengamot that Harry wouldn't be safe living in the environment with a werewolf or any other wizarding community. Although he had quite a bit of flak from most of the Hogwarts staff, mainly Professors McGonagall and Snape.
It had surprised him that Severus would disagree that Harry remain with his muggle relatives. In the end they all agreed, mainly because he had modified their memories and any doubts. Claiming that he'd explain the situation to the Dursleys.
Nope, no such thing happened, he just left young Harry sitting their on their doorstep without much besides his blanket and a letter. As he walked away he turned around and set a power block that would've slowly ebbed away had not another entity deflected it.
OooOooO
The detached soul was glaring at the retreating back of Dumbledore. How dare he...How dare that old coot try to disable me! He sent a moderately powered stinging hex at Dumbledore through Harry. He was sure to make sure that he tripped when the hex hit him, making him think that the fall incurred that stinging. He was satisfied when the old man started limping away holding his leg while muttering about old age and what not.
Harry James Potter, the boy-who- lived-again, began to think of ways to help his younger counter self. Before he could get far, the door opened as Petunia Dursley opened the door to get the paper and let out a shriek as she had seen the baby sitting on her doorstep. Let the games begin old man... With that he followed the baby in as his aunt quickly grabbed it and ran inside, calling Vernon as she went.
As time went by, Harry knew that telling his younger self that he was from the past...Or was it future? anyway, that wouldn't go to well. So he decided to change his name, Harold James.
Harold noticed that they never did take care of him, even as a baby, only feeding the poor kid when absolutely necessary. Only changing his nappies every now and then in the day. Hell, they even left him in the bloody cupboard at the age of two. It was then that he resolved to take care of the toddler. Sure, he only had basic to moderate knowledge about taking care of babies, what with living for a thousand years. Right, by now I would be able to take care of my own kid if I was to get her pregnant. Harry rolled his eyes at the thought, I swear to whatever deities that exist in our world, that I WILL find you.
With that in mind, he continued to care for young Harry.
OooOooO
Ginny Potter was in a screaming rage, although the only one to hear her was sleeping peacefully. I was so close, so bloody close to him! She continued this rage for the next few days, knowing it wouldn't help much. When she calmed down, she decided it was best that she helped when she needed to, and stay out of the way.
OooOooO
When Harry turned three Harold watched, no seethed in anger watching the Dursleys coddle their whale of a son, despite it being Harry's birthday and not the blob's. He decided it was time to make an appearance.
"
"Who are you?" Harry asked in a usual kid manner, eyeing him suspiciously. "An' who is Harry?"
Great, the poor kid doesn't even know is own name yet.
For the next year he taught the basic knowledge such as writing and reading to young Harry, yet at certain holidays such as Christmas he had conjured a gift for him. KKnowing that the Dursleys didn't give him presents of any use or any at all.
OooOooO
Dumbledore was following an unspeakable, curious as to why he was summoned here in the first place. All he was told by the unspeakable was that there was a matter of importance.
"Here we are Professor, this particular prophecy was made not too long ago, by Madam Flamel." the person with an obscuring charm that distorted their voice and mad their facial features unidentifiable gave a wave towards an orb that read:
From Perenell To Nicholas For A.P.W.B.D And Unknown child of the Moon?
Intrigued Albus picked up the orb as the unspeakable walked off to some place or another. Perenell Flamel was standing up reciting the prophecy: "A Child of five years shall become the child of the moon...bearing two in one...shall change the world for the better or worse...deceived by the stars and the old ones...He searches for his other half...as the half moon rises...
As far as Dumbledore was concerned, this prophecy was meaningless. So what if this, child, finds his other half? Or that he is turned into a werewolf? Furthermore, why bother with such trivial matters such as the stars or old ones?
With that Albus Dumbledore put the orb back on the shelf before walking away, too busy to notice the last part of the prophecy: For he is the son of the green lightning...Born to fight in the dark...and change the world...for better or for worse.
Dumbledore didn't care if he was part of the reason why Lily Potter was dead. It needed to be done, for the sake of the true prophecy, for the greater good. And besides, what use is a child that can't be manipulated due to moral issues?
OooOooO
Ginny Potter was getting bored of just waiting around. After all, she was once and always will be a Weasley with the temper. Yet on this day, she was caught off guard.
"Hello? I know your here somewhere." A four-year-old Ginny said in her dreams one night. Mrs. Potter was caught in surprise that the girl knew she was here. "Are you here to protect me? Who are you?"
"I'm...yeah, I'm your guardian..." the 'Guardian' felt like hitting her self for doing something as reckless as this.
"Really! You want to be friends. What's your real name?" Ginny asked naive as to be expected from kids. "I'm Ginny, Ginny Weasley, nice to meet you!"
"Um...you can call me..." She tried to remember what Harry wanted to name their first daughter. "Rose." Why of all names...does it have to be a flower?
"Don't you have a last name?"
"I don't think us guardians have last names, but for your sake you can call me Rose Weasley" Do guardians really have last names? I guess it doesn't matter anymore. "And I guess I can be your friend..." With that said, things started to play into her favor. "What's today? I don't really pay attention to calendars nowadays."
Ginny frowned in thought before replying. "I tomorrows my birthday, I thought you knew that?"
"Sorry, I just found out today that I'd be your guardian. So how old will you be?" Rose asked, fully knowing her age.
"Me and Ron will be five!" With that, she held up her hand to emphasize.
OooOooO
The time was getting closer to Harry's birthday, yet today was Ginny and Ron's birthday, I wonder why her birthday is the same as Ron's...well this is an alternate universe so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Although the day passed by like any other, the next day changed that.
"BOY!" Harold rolled his eyes at his uncle. "Now we're going to Marge's house, and since Mrs. Figg is ill, we can't just leave you here. Now get the luggage and put it in the boot!"
Harry done as told, not knowing that the following events will change his life, literally, forever.
OooOooO
Author's notes: Right, the Infamous prophecy that doomed Harry to make the Elder Wand backfire on Voldemort. However, this time, things have changed; his wand will not backfire as such. Kinda sad really, the most powerful dark lord is killed by his own wand and disarmed at death. No, the deathly Hollows will not be the big part of the story; rest assured they would be in it, but not much of an equation as cannon.
About the Horcruxes, yes they will be in here. Any suggestions on any more of them besides the locket, the diary, and Harry? I'm not going to bother with the ring in this timeline, nor the cup and the diadem.
Right, also which house should Harry be in for the sorting? or not sorted but a member of Hogwarts school since time travel falls under Slytherin, but the wits and loyalty as well for the other two houses make everything void? might as well start on that now, also, can someone give me the listings of the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff teams in first year? thank you very much to those that comply.
If there are errors let me know, thank you for reading this last part.
