A/N: Just so no one turns me in I am here by stating that a few parts of this chapter will be like that from Chapter 5 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone entitled Diagon Alley though I am altering the interaction to fit the story. I will not be copying the dialog to this story from JK Rowling work, so if it seems a bit off to you that would because it is suppose to be different, but similar.

JapaneseJew: Wow you don't like this story because it is OOC? Did I not say this was going to be AU? Did I not warn everyone that the characters would be OOC? You seem to be getting upset about something that I warned long ago would happen. I didn't forget about the butterfly effect, but I did explain about the whole paradox thing long ago. There will be consequences for the actions so far. There will be a price to pay for changing things, and that is the whole reason for fate. Sure I am not taking in to account every little thing that could change, but I am looking at the whole picture when I decide which events will trigger big changes. More effort? I think the chapter is fine the way it is, but feel free to tell me what you feel is wrong or needing more effort. You can either tell me in an e-mail, review, or I am on MSN and Yahoo tell me there. I am willing to listen, but you have to tell me more than just put more effort.

Inimene: Yes I suppose it was obvious I would have Hermione side with Harry, but you also have to consider that you did learn a few things in the chapter as well.

anti-thule: I had considered leaving the decision to a cliffhanger, but then thought better of it when I wrote chapter seven.

AzureSky123: Harry has to be a good actor in order to make everyone believe things are as they should be. Though there are those that know the truth. I said before that the pace would be slower now that he was returning to Hogwarts, because I am doing one fic for every year of school not all seven years in one fic.

Slash&Burn: The traitor problem is pretty well worked out for now. The girl will probably come with more warnings later. Ron was a traitor and Hermione would have been one, but I decided that I wanted Hermione with Harry, so I did this instead. Hermione will not be part of Harry's harem, because that would be wrong. (I know like Lily isn't wrong.) Anyway Hermione will have her own ship later in the series. No Harry will not befriend Ron, and he will make him pay for what he did. I gave you all the information I am going to about why Hermione didn't go with Harry in the future, so any other issues will be left to speculation on the part of the reader. As for the chapter being slow, as I said before the whole series is slowing down because I am covering the year more in-depth than I have before.

Silverscale: I will consider it, and I do read your fics, so that is enough of a change for me ;)

A-man: I am sure a lot of points could have been written better, and I had reasons for not killing Voldemort, which I put into the story. I explained why he couldn't just kill him right off when he had control. Now though he can kill him when he gets the chance, but he wont get that until Voldemort's rebirth in year four.

Skuld's Sentaro4: Well I am sorry you don't like Hermione, but I have decided her knowledge would benefit Harry, so she got in. As for my avoidance of his other wives, well I said the main wife would be Tonks, so I had to establish that first before I did anything else. I am not writing a porno here, so there is a lot more to this than just Harry having sex with the women he is with.


Chapter Seven: Diagon Alley

It is strange to think but the bond they shared as friends increased over the weeks following her becoming one of Harry's followers. It seemed that the bond the mark gave them increased their bond as friends as they were able to become closer than they had ever been before. Hermione had always been like a little sister to Harry, or a big sister since she was older than him in his time, but a sister nonetheless. Now he felt even more like a brother to her and she also felt like he was a brother.

It was weird at first for Harry when Hermione used the bond to speak with him, but after the first time it became second nature for him. They would spend hours in the library talking through the bond and no one around them knew any different. Harry was happier than he had been before and Hermione seemed to be a lot happier as well.

The months rolled on and Harry continued to attend muggle school with Hermione and everything seemed to be going as normal as it could. Harry was walking beside Hermione down the hall headed for lunch when his normal day suddenly got a magical twist. At first Harry didn't realize anything was wrong until he looked back to see Hermione frozen in her place as she walked. Harry glanced at the clock on the wall and found that time had frozen yet again around him.

'Great where is that damn Time Mage this time?' Harry thought as he continued to look around and then he saw the girl appear in front of him. "I am getting a little tired of these visits. Haven't you ever heard of making an appointment?"

The girl looked at him for a moment and then spoke in her usual chilling tone. "You have done well to figure out two of your traitors, and I see you turned one into an ally before he could turn her against you."

"You froze time just to tell me that?" Harry asked sounding annoyed.

"No I was merely complimenting you on your progress. The true reason I am here is to tell you that you are worrying about the wrong enemy. You worry too much about the duel faced enemy that you keep forgetting about the unseen ones."

"I have many enemies, so maybe you could be a tad more specific."

"Do not worry about Voldemort and focus on the one you can't see for it is the one that seeks to kill you for what you have undone." With that the girl disappeared unfreezing time as she did.

Hermione stopped in her walking and looked ahead at Harry. "How did you get up ahead of me?"

"Long story, we better get to lunch I am starving." Harry said as he waited for Hermione to catch up to him. He then filled her in through their bond about the girl who was a Time Mage and kept freezing time whenever she had a warning of disaster for him.

Hermione was most interested in what Harry was telling her about the girl, though her access to books were limited to muggle ones when at the muggle school. /'Have you tried looking into the mages to see what you could find out about her?'/

/'Yeah I have, but so far I haven't found out anything useful about her. There isn't a lot known about mages since they disappeared a great many years ago. I do know that there are still mages around since I am a mage, but I still have no idea where they went after the war with the other magic users of the world.'/

Harry and Hermione spent the rest of the day and actually that whole week talking about mages through their bond, which didn't help when it came to their school lessons. The rest of the school year flew by for Harry and Hermione and before they knew it they were leaving the Muggle School for the last time as they started their summer vacation before starting at Hogwarts.

Harry arranged it so Hermione would be able to spend the first two weeks of the holiday at his castle, but then after that she had to go with her family as they were going on holiday to Italy.

They spent the two weeks checking the library in the castle for anything that would help them solve the mystery of the girl that had been haunting Harry with predictions of his ultimate doom. They also did some swimming in the lake that was on the grounds of the castle, and Hermione watched Harry as he flew around on his broom.

When Sirius and Remus came for a visit Harry, Sirius, Remus, and Tonks played a two on two pick up game of Quidditch. Hermione didn't want to fly, so she just sat on the ground watching them while she skimmed through a book looking for information.

Harry loved having Tonks back at the castle with him and also having Sirius and Remus, but that wouldn't last long. Tonks was leaving for Auror School the first of August and Sirius and Remus were only hanging around for the weekend then they needed to get back to America to finish their work their. Though they both promised to come back for Harry's eleventh birthday.

His birthday however wasn't for five weeks after Hermione left to go on vacation, so he spent the biggest part of that time with Tonks and Bellatrix. Tonks helped Harry with the problem of his magical core and how to be powerful enough when he went to Hogwarts. Since concern now wasn't so much facing the duel faced Professor Quirrell as it was facing this unknown enemy that the girl had mentioned. She was right about the traitors, so Harry knew enough to trust her when she said he had a deadly unseen enemy, but he had no idea who or what it could be.

Harry and Tonks spent more time in the library than he did with Bellatrix, which didn't help her mood any, but she knew that Harry had to become the powerful lord he once was or nothing would matter now.

"There has to be a way to expand my magical core!" Harry said as he sat down the fifth worthless book he had looked at.

"I am sure there is Harry it is just going to take some time to find something on it. There is bound to be a book somewhere that can help you." Tonks said as she too sat down the book she was reading.

Harry knew that there had to be a way it just was presenting itself to him, so he decided instead to spend some time with Bellatrix and Tonks together down at the lake. Lily was busy off the ministry with her job there, and Harry knew if there was one person who would be able to find a way to fix his problem it would be her. She had access to material that Harry didn't, so he sent a message to her over their bond about the problem and also sent one to Remus hoping one of those two, which were by far the smartest people he knew could figure it out before he started at Hogwarts.

The day of Harry's birthday he woke early like he normally did and found an owl at his window, and as he left the owl in he found that it was delivering his Hogwarts letter. Harry wasn't as excited as he was the first time he had read this letter, but was glad that he didn't have to fight to get it this time like he did when he lived with his Aunt and Uncle.

Hermione was going to go to Diagon Alley when her parents and her got back from Italy, so Harry was on his own going to Diagon Alley. Well not really on his own as Bellatrix offered to take him the next day to do his shopping. Tonks would have did it, but she would be off to Auror School following his birthday party, so she wasn't able to go unless he went on the day of his birthday.

Harry's party was much like he had expected it to be, and went by faster than he had hoped. All too soon he found himself saying goodbye once again to Tonks, but he swore to write her when he could, and she promised to do the same.

Harry also found that now that he as eleven that his core was a little better than it was, and he was able to have Remus unbind some more of his abilities. One of those abilities thankfully was the ability to Apparate, which Harry was really missing. His core grew a little in size; so that he could gain some more of his power that he once had. With the minimal power boost he was able to unbind a few more of his abilities, so he figured out that if he could enlarge his core to the point it was then he would have no problem unbinding all his powers and abilities.

The first thing he did once he had the ability to Apparate was he Apparated into the vault at under Lily's house in London. He wanted to get the some of his memories from the pensive. Especially the ones that enabled him to be able to do some things, he had placed the memories of how to do Occlumency in the pensive, and he needed it now that he would be going to Hogwarts. He wanted to spend the last month before school started building his mind up again, so he would be able to prevent Dumbledore from entering it at will. He knew it was risky, but if he played it just right he would be able to pull it off without much trouble.

The next day Bellatrix and him Apparated to Diagon Alley, unfortunately once they were there Harry knew he wouldn't be able to use his disguise since he had to have his natural eleven year old form to get his robes and such.

/'Harry will you be getting a wand today since you already have your old one?'/ Bellatrix asked through the bond as Harry and her made their way down Diagon Alley.

/'It would seem a bit weird if I didn't buy a wand in this time now wouldn't it love?'/ Harry responded as he looked around at the shops once more, he hadn't been in Diagon Alley since the day he found out his best mate was a ruddy spy for Dumbledore.

Harry and Bellatrix made their way towards Gringotts bank where Harry would get the money out that he needed to buy his supplies. As they walked into the bank Harry froze in place and stared as he watched Hagrid speaking with the goblin at the desk. 'He must be getting the Philosopher's stone.' Harry thought to himself as he stared at Hagrid. 'If only I could still freeze time then I could make sure Snake Face never got near that stone.' Freezing time took too much energy and magical power, and Harry didn't have the power to use that ability yet, though he hoped by time he got to go to Hogwarts he would have that kind of power.

Harry watched as Hagrid went off to vault 713, and he then went to the teller to get a goblin to take him and Bella down to his vault where he would get the money that he needed to be able to buy the school supplies he needed, and possible an extra book or two if he could get Bella to go into Knockturn Alley to get them for him.

Harry decided to go to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions and get his school robes and asked Bellatrix to venture down into Knockturn Alley and see if she could find any book on rituals to increase your magical core, or the power a wizard had. Harry wasn't really thinking about the first time he had been to Madam Malkin's shop, and if he had he might have decided to wait a bit longer before entering it.

Madam Malkin met him as he walked in and asked if he was headed to Hogwarts as well and when he said yeah, she told him that another student was already being fitted. Harry instantly remember this day from the first time and realized that he was about to meet his most hated rival and son for the first time since he had went back into the past. 'I really got to get Malfoy on my side or I will be fighting my own son for years to come.'

Draco looked at Harry as he walked into the fitting room. "Hello, you off to Hogwarts as well?"

"Yeah," Harry replied as he continued to stare at Draco in disbelief. He still had the whitish Blonde hair, though it was a lot messier then the 'real' Draco's hair was.

"My dad is off buying books and my mum is off looking at wands." Draco said with a slight sneer.

'Oh if you only knew Draco who your real father was.' Harry thought as he looked at him. 'Knew I should have bought my wand first then I could have seen Cissy and not Draco.' Harry continued to look at Draco as he drawled on about racing brooms.

"Do you own a broom?" Draco finally asked after saying about bullying his father to buy him a new broom.

Harry looked at him and grinned. "Yeah I do actually just got a Nimbus 2000."

"Wow that's the fastest broom out on the market." Draco said clearly impressed that Harry would have a Nimbus 2000, which of course he didn't, but he would be buying one since he couldn't fly his Fire Bolt just yet. "You play Quidditch?"

Harry continued grinning as Madam Malkin continued to measure and pin the robes. "Yeah I play with some friends, I like being Seeker."

"Cool I like playing seeker too, father thinks I will get on the house team and I agree, but one never knows." Draco said in a smug way as if he knew for sure he would get on a team even if he did have to bribe his way on to it. "Oh almost forgot the names Draco Malfoy."

Harry looked at him for a moment, but decided to play it up. "Nice to meet you, that would make you Narcissa Black, I mean Malfoy's son right?"

"Yeah you know my mum then?"

"Not personally no, but I do know her sister Bellatrix."

"Oh yes auntie Bellatrix, father says that she isn't much of a Black since she… well lets just say she went against her family like her cousins Sirius and Regulus."

"Yes, I know both of them as well, by the way I am Harry Potter." Harry said in a smug tone, and he could tell that Draco was thinking by the way his face crunched up in concentration.

"Well Harry Potter, it was nice meeting you, but I better get going my mum and dad will be looking for me." Draco said as he jumped down and took off out of the shop.

Harry knew Draco would probably run right to Lucius and tell him that he just met the Harry Potter, but he didn't care. Instead he decided to send a message to Cissy. /'Hey Cissy I just met our son he is quiet like Lucius even without any of his genes in him.'/

/'Yeah Lucius isn't very good of a father and his smugness has rubbed off on Draco. Harry when are you going to take care of him he is getting even worse?'/ Narcissa replied, which didn't make Harry feel much better about the situation she was in.

/'Hopefully soon Cissy, I hope that he will be taken care of soon, so you and Draco wont have to deal with him much more.'/ Harry replied as he heard Madam Malkin tell him that he was done and free to go.

Harry proceeded to get all the books he needed though he had his old copies he thought it best to buy new ones so that didn't seem old after being in the past for over fifty years. He then got all the potion supplies he would need for school and decided that anything extra he needed he could get from his lab at the castle since he still had a good deal of potions ingredients there. He then went to Eeylops Owl Emporium and got the snowy white owl, which was his only friend when he was trapped with the Dursleys. He knew Satana wouldn't like the idea of having a guest, but she would have to just get use to Hedwig. After all Harry couldn't take a dark phoenix to school with him and he needed an owl to deliver his mail and such. Also he couldn't forget the hours he spent with only Hedwig for company, so he couldn't just allow her to stay at that shop. Harry then went to Ollivanders and once again stood there as the man hunted for his wand, the wand that Harry currently had concealed in its holster.

Harry had finished buying the last of his school supplies and rushed off to meet Bellatrix to see if she found any books that would be useful. Harry caught sight of her walking out of Knockturn Alley as he was headed for the Leaky Cauldron where they were suppose to meet. However before Harry could yell to her or anything he saw a flash of light as a small humanoid appeared about thirty feet from him and then he saw the person pull out something that gleamed in the sunlight and hurl it at him.

Bellatrix who had just spotted Harry also so the humanoid and then watched in horror for a second as the person throw what appeared to be a dagger. "NO!" She shouted as she jumped in the path of the dagger to protect Harry and sent a stunner at the attacker. The dagger hit her right in the shoulder and buried itself deep into her as the attacker disappeared before the stunner could hit him.

Harry watched in horror as the dagger hit Bellatrix and then ran up to her as she fell to the ground. Not even thinking Harry quickly grabbed her and Apparated straight back to his castle in Scotland to get her medical attention.
