A Twist Of Fate...No Scratch That...Time!

Previously In Twist Of Fate...No Scratch That....Time!

Harry was in a room. It was dark, his body was still. He knew he was not in heaven or hell because he could see a red light below him and a golden light above him, the golden light was getting closer as if a figure was walking closer. When the light got close enough he could see that it was two angels. One looked like him only with hazel eyes, yet the other had his emerald eyes and fiery red hair. He knew two people who fit these descriptions, "Mum, Dad?!" he asked shocked. Tears came to his eyes, he had two good memories of seeing his parents, but both were not in physical form. The first was in the Mirror of Erised, the second was from Priori Incantatum when both his and Voldemort's wands had made a fine golden line between them, this was different though.

"Yes, my dear Harry, we have looked over you for many years and we were ecstatic that we could go down and see you that one time. Now, we aren't here for a reunion," Lily Evans Potter, who Harry knew better as Mum, paused "You see, we are here to give you a second chance at life. You will have all of this life's memories to prepare yourself," although Harry was going back to Hermione, he was unhappy, he wanted to be with his parents.

Chapter Ten – Second Chances

Harry looked around, he was alive, but the problem was that he was only a baby! Now he realised what his parents had meant:

"You'll see us sooner than you think, son," his dad said as if he was reading his mind.

"Bye dad... bye mum... I love you both," he said tearfully.

He had gone back and basically been reborn, then it hit him he could change what had happened and hopefully meet Hermione quicker, but first thing's first, he would save James and Lily.

But how? Think think think. Come on-n-n! There must be a way. I could fight Voldemort when he comes... but no! I'm a BABY now! What would Hermione do? he thought, frantic.

A figure was in the doorway all the time, and Harry did not realise that he had been pacing around in his cot. The man shouted out for Lily! "Lily! Come quick, Harry's walking! ...But we didn't teach him..." his father sounded confused.

Oh Shit! Harry thought; pacing was not the best thing to do. Harry heard footsteps running up the stairs, Best turn into baby mode. "Mama? Dada?" Harry said in a small, baby like voice although he had no knowledge of being a baby. Lily and James both looked equally shocked and happy at once. Oh not again this isn't going so well how to be a baby... argh! It was then when it hit him that he would just leave a note in the night, warning them to take Sirius, Remus, and themselves into hiding and that Dumbledore would be a great pain in the bollocks! The rest of the day went pretty quick, with Lily and James becoming even more surprised when their son was talking quite normally – not saying to much, but not sounding like a baby. Harry was walking around the house and riding his toy broom stick from Sirius around the house, doing loops and such like a pro. Harry laughed at the memory of his parents watching him, his mother's concern and his dads excitement.

Harry was racing round on his broom, chasing the terrified looking cat around the house doing loops and dives everywhere, making sure the cat had to think fast. Lily came in just as Harry was about to pull up from a dive, "Harry!!!" She screamed believing the worst, but when Harry pulled up in time, she called for James to come and see, knowing he would be amazed. She whispered in his ear, "Harry when your father comes in, you will do that again and then fly to him," she said and giggled a bit. She may not have been a marauder, but she still liked a laugh and was going to take a picture of James' face when he saw Harry could pull off a stunt he could not. James came running in, "What? What's wrong? Is Harry... WHAT?!" James said in awe; Lily laughed. Of course, James looked like a goldfish. Lily pulled out a muggle camera and quickly took a picture, the flash brought James back to the world of the living... so to speak, "Wha-wha-what the hell? ...So I guess he really is my son then." he said to Lily cheekily.

"James!" Lily scolded, Harry enjoyed watching their playful banter, it reminded of Him and Hermione.

Hours passed and Harry climbed out of his cot, with some difficulty. The cot was extremely hard to get out of, as he was so small as a child; the trouble would be getting back in. He rushed down the stairs as quickly as his stumpy legs would carry him, he reached up into the draw where the pens and paper where kept, which again was hard due to him being small. Quickly hew wrote, in the neatest he could – this was again difficult for his baby hands – and wrote:

"Lily, James and Harry (although I know Harry cannot read)

I have bad news for you. Peter Pettigrew will betray you and Sirius will be sent to prison for 'betraying the Potters' after James and Lily die at Voldemort's hands, Harry will survive with only a scar (in the shape of a lightning bolt) and be sent to Petunia and Vernon Dursley who will beat him. Oh! Yes! Harry has to meet a beautiful young girl named Hermione Granger. She is almost a year older than him, her parents are dentists by the names of Maria and Noel Granger – Lily, she LOVES books a lot and likes to study. Anyway, Voldemort will send Bellatrix and a few other death eaters to 'kill' the Longbottoms as well. Only Frank and Alice are tortured to the brink of insanity and will have to go to St. Mungo's, and Neville will go to live with his Grandmother. Take Sirius, Remus into hiding with yourselves, Dumbledore will try and Manipulate them into getting Harry into the Muggle world, as he has plans for him. Also, I suggest getting your Invisibility Cloak back from him... In fact take everyone mentioned into hiding that way, none of this should happen. I'm sure you have the perfect place to take them and yourselves

HJP

P.S. Please try to save Grace Lovegood née Augustine. She accidentally kills herself when trying out a spell she creates. Luna (her daughter) would be nine years old."

Harry signed it off and raced back upstairs as it was almost dawn and got back into his crib as quickly as possible. As his head hit the pillow, he fell to sleep thinking about what he had done, he could save so many people, so many innocent lives.

Harry was woken up to his mothers concerned face. "Lily, who could have written this? Who has the initials HJP?" his father asked confused. Harry laughed, bringing the attention to him, Oops, he thought, still in a funny mood.

"Harry James Potter!" his parents said at the same time.

"But he's only a baby! How could he write, or even know that?!" his mum said, now extremely confused.

"Oh well. Who ever it is, we will thank them when we find them. Now lets do what this person says and get Harry's dog-father; the furry lil' problem, Remus, and everyone else... including the Lovegoods. First thing's first, find this Hermione girl... sounds kind of like you, Lily," James said. The last bit earned him a slap, but it was a light hearted slap.

"I'll go check the records for a Hermione Granger... parents are dentists... Maria and Noel Granger," Lily said, walking away with Harry in her arms. She grabbed a large book from the Potter library and looked through it. She flipped to the 'G' section and started looking through. Soon, Harry saw them, and he pointed to their names. Lily looked, and sure enough, there was 'Maria Crystal', 'Noel Edward', and 'Hermione Jean Granger', but next to Hermione's name was 'Harry James Potter', the only name next to someone's would be their married partner... or bond mate. Harry was confused, as he had no idea what this meant.

"James! Come here. We found her." Lily called, and sure enough James appeared beside her.

"What the f-"

"Not in front of Harry, James!" she scolded, shaking her head. "But look here, seems our Harry has a bond ma-a" she pointed out but was cut off by James shouting over her.

"WHAT?! He's only eight months old..."

"Mate" Lily finished then continued "The bond link doesn't wait. As soon as Harry was born, I'm sure Hermione would have felt the bong starting, James its really simple!" Lily said exasperated. Her tone reminded Harry of his past life, when Hermione would tell him and Ron off. Ginny ruined it all, yet she helped me, Harry thought, sadly remembering all the fun times he had with Hermione and Ron.

"Ron, I'm so-o-o gonna get you!" a blue Hermione shouted after a very hysterical Ron.


"Come on, Hermione, I'll change you back to normal." Harry paused, then whispered, "Then we'll get him back." He smirked at Ron, who had no idea what was coming.

"Harry, come on-n-n. We'll be late. Don't make me come up there and get your lazy butt down here!" Hermione shouted up the boys staircase, making Harry jump out of bed.

Those where the days... he thought.
