A Different Time Travel Story
The Longest Chapter Ever! :D

Immediately everyone flew into a rage at the scum's greeting. Everyone, excluding Dumbledore and Moody (although they looked beyond pissed), whipped out their wands and shot hexes at Harry, who, unfortunately, was still tied up.

"GAH!" screamed Harry, thinking he was doomed for sure. He could see his life pass by his eyes.

Harry started rolling back and forth on the couch, moaning about how life sucked. "First my parents were murdered, and then said murderer comes after me in almost every year of Hogwarts! I had to live with the Dursleys who were awful to me! First year: fought a possessed DADA teacher! Second year: fought a bloody basilisk being controlled by a memory of Voldemort! Third year: introduced to dementors! Fourth year: saw Voldemort return! Fifth year: got my hand carved by toad lady, fought Death Eaters, and fell through the—"

While in rant-mode, Harry did not notice that the spells stopped before hitting him. The others were looking at him in awe—the numerous jets of light were just suspended in mid-air.

"-moustache! And now I'm in the future and my friends, not the creepy stalking murderer, are going to kill me! MY LIFE SUCKS!"

"Shut up!" Ron cried, tired of hearing some creepy stalker talk about Harry's life.

"NO I WILL NOT SHUT UP!" Harry yelled. Then his expression changed to shock. He had finally noticed the frozen spells. "What the—"

"This is interesting…" Dumbledore said, scratching his chin. He still looked angry, but mostly looked curious. "Whoever you are, please move out of the way."

Harry raised an eyebrow and looked pointedly at the ropes.

Dumbledore muttered a spell, probably to lift Harry, but it didn't seem to work. Instead, he nodded at Sirius.

Sirius gave the stranger a death glare, but picked him up and stuck him on a chair.

The spells immediately started moving.

The unfortunate couch never stood a chance.

The floor was charred and sizzling. Only one blackened couch-leg remained. It promptly fell over and crumbled into dust.

Harry gulped. That could have been him.

"Bloody hell!" Ron cried.

"Language, Ronald!" Hermione yelled.

Harry mentally smiled. Even though his two best friends had been through a lot, they were still (sort of) the same.

Suddenly there was a popping noise, and Severus Snape appeared out of nowhere. "Albus, the Dark—POTTER?"

"Snape?" responded Harry.

"He isn't Harry!" chorused Sirius, Remus, Ron, and Hermione. Moody just grumbled.

"Albus, what is going on?" Snape sneered, looking at Harry.

"Sirius, Remus, Alastor, Ronald, and Hermione captured this imposter." Dumbledore frowned at Harry.

"Not an imposter," Harry mumbled under his breath.

"Severus, do you have any Veritaserum?" Dumbledore questioned, turning back to Snape.

Snape pulled a small glass vial of clear liquid out of his black cloak. "Last one, Albus. I need to brew more." He handed the vial to Dumbledore.

Ron grunted, walked to Harry, and covered his nose. Harry had to breathe, so he opened his mouth to take a breath. Dumbledore quickly poured the contents into Harry's opened mouth. Harry's eyes suddenly went blank. It felt weird.

Dumbledore backed away and, much like after the third task of the Triwizard Tournament, asked, "Do you know who I am?"

Harry's voice held no emotion as he answered easily. "Yes, you are Albus Dumbledore."

"What is your name?" asked Dumbledore.

"Harry James Potter."

AN: HA! DID YOU THINK I WAS GOING TO END THERE?

The people in the room inhaled sharply, could this really be Harry? Dumbledore's eyes seemed to regain some of its lost twinkle.

"When were you born?"

"July 31, 1980."

"What were the names of your parents?"

"James and Lily Potter."

"What did you see in the Mirror of Erised?"

"I saw my parents."

Ron blurted out a question. "What chess pieces did we play as in our first year?"

"You were a knight, Hermione was a rook, and I was a bishop."

"What went wrong when we brewed Polyjuice Potion in our second year?" asked Hermione.

"You accidentally put cat hair in it, making you look like a cat."

"What form does your Patronus take? Also, who and when did they teach it to you?" asked Lupin.

"It takes the form of a stag, also known as Prongs, the animagus form of my dad. You taught me in my third year."

"What did you use to rescue me in your third year?" questioned Sirius.

"Hermione and I used her time turner." Harry answered still blankly.

Dumbledore interrupted the interrogation. "I don't see how he could not be Harry Potter."

The veritaserum wore off soon and Harry was back to normal. Immediately he was glomped by Ron, Hermione, Sirius, and Lupin. Now that he wasn't in panic mode, Harry examined his friends.

Ron had grown taller, had some cuts on his face, slightly longer hair, and a moustache. Hermione's bushy hair had become less bushy and had grown longer. She had grown taller. Sirius looked slightly healthier, but his hair was grayer, his eyes had a haunted look to them, and he had a few wrinkles. Lupin's hair was almost completely gray, and his face was more lined. Snape had some graying hair, and had a few wrinkles on his face. Moody seemed to have more scars added to his collection. Dumbledore looked like…Dumbledore, except with maybe a few more creases on his forehead.

Sirius, Lupin, Hermione, and Ron had tears in their eyes, and didn't seem like letting go any time soon. Dumbledore was smiling, Snape looked like Snape, and Moody looked like Moody.

When the four people finally let him go, the men quickly wiped their tears while Hermione was crying even more.

Dumbledore asked the question that was on everyone's minds.

"How did you survive the Veil of Death?"

"Er…well…"
