I told you I'd update quickly :)


The Grindelwald incident had shaken Alicia. His motives and plans were all unknown to her, so, after dropping off the Werner and his wife, Alicia paid a certain Auburn haired Transfiguration teacher a visit.

"I do not think there is much to be gained by seeking out Grindelwald" Albus had told her, his blue eyes twinkling; Alicia noted that she now loathed twinkling.

"He found us, he followed us! We were smuggling muggles and he found us! Why would he find us?" She kicked a small whirring instrument on Albus' shelf. There were several such instruments about the room, casting their silvery reflections across the dark wood desk and bright orange tapestry of sleeping trolls. The one Alicia kicked had been the loudest and shiniest, but more importantly to Alicia, the most difficult to fix.

"He was likely curious about you, I do not think those men crept up on you by his orders, they will undoubtably be punished for their actions. We can only hope that they will live to regret it, the Grindelwald I knew was not a forgiving man".

"You knew him?"

"Briefly, I knew his aunt, I do not think I ever truly knew him"

"O-kay then. I came to ask you if you would help me, I want to get inside this Grindelwald's operation, I want to know my enemy"

"How do you know Grindelwald is you enemy? The world is never so black and white"

"Will woman's intuition suffice?"

"No"

"Then how about I just want to know more about the man, he poses a threat, and until we know what he is planning we are blind"

"That is sufficient, for now. I will help you into his ranks, and, when you wish to leave, I will help you out"

"Excellent."


After the events in Austria, Harry had returned, with Primus and Merope, to England, the Hangleton's, and one Tom Riddle.

He would meet the Weasley family every Saturday for dinner, remark about Sixtus' growth spurt, and smile knowingly as his Mr. and Mrs. Weasly worried over Septimus' friendship with the little Black heiress, Cassiopeia. He almost fell off his chair when they spoke of a recent family visit to the Lovegood family in Ottery St. Catchpole, Septimus, it seemed had loved the trip so much that he announced that one day both he and Cassiopeia would one day live there with at least seven sons. Harry wondered if Septimus was a secret see-er.

As for Merope, she acted differently since their return.

Her hair and clothes were cut in French styles, her walk a little straighter, chin a little higher. She was still frequently visiting Tom, but, to Harry at least, the dynamics of their relationship seemed different.

Where once Tom had guided Merope through town, she now walked tall on her own, almost guiding him.

Her proficiency in magic had improved as well, frighteningly so, no longer was she an almost-squib, but a full blown, competent witch.

She could blast the dust and cobwebs from the pale wood flooring, scour the brass pots of the kitchen, and vanish the weeds in the garden at the same time.

Her time spent in town, combined with the easing of her lessons provided Harry with a lot of free time in which to plan.

He had expanded the interior of his house magically to include a secret study behind his wardrobe. When opened normally all that would appear was clothes, coats, and shoes. When the handle was tapped to the rhythm of W-i-z-a-r-d W-h-e-e-z-e-r-s, a trick he had taken from the Hufflepuff common room, the wardrobe would melt into the wall revealing a doorway into a room.

Inside the room, a large mirror covered one wall, an array of guns hung across the wall with the door, and across the remaining walls were an assortment of objects. At first glance they appeared to be ordinary household objects, a jar of walnuts in water, a pair of shoes, buttons, but upon closer inspection the walnuts were stewing in polyjuice potion, the shoes had traces of silencing and featherlight charms upon them, and the buttons were a modified version of the extendible ear. The idea had come from Dudley's muggle TV shows, secret agents would hide cameras inside their coats to listen and watch the enemy, Harry thought he might just do the same.

If Harry was entering the vanquishing business, he would be prepared, however unconventional his preparations may seem.


Okay, I will cut a long story short, I am abandoning this story.

I had an idea in my mind, a Harry travels back, tries to save the world, fails, then succeeds by pure luck. Do you know the saying, If you're not talented, hope you're lucky ?

Anyway, in between me and my imagination was real life...real life sucks, so without further ado, I give you (any one who reads this) my unfinished story, maybe it will inspire someone else (this is doubtful), maybe someone will re-write it, I don't know...

If any of you do want to know my envisioned ending, keep reading, if you'd prefer to make up your own leave this page about now-ish!

Okay:

Alicia infiltrates Grindelwalds growing ranks, apparently the wizard is secretly masterminding several key events in Europe, she has stumbled to the edge of a very big conspiracy involving muggle Jews, wizarding muggle borns, big power politics and money (lots of money), Harry does not know any of this.

Harry joins the NAZI party in an attempt to 'Kill Hitler' under the name of a famous NAZI general [I got this off misfits...I recommend seasons 1&2]

Merope becomes self-obsessed and vain with her developed powers, Harry looses focus on her in light of his newly founded 'Vanquishing business'

Primus leaves the quartet in search of a quidditch carrier with the Chudley Cannons.


It is now 1925, the year before Tom Riddle JR is born

Alicia has developed a network of spys throughout Grindlewalds operations, her spys go missing when they enter Germany, Harry, believing them to be Grindelwald loyalists has them executed and covers the killings up. Harry believes he can stop WWII if he can sever the links between Grindelwald and the NAZI party.

Merope has left Tom and is now living in London on a pension from Harry, her brother was released from Azkaban. She lives a very lavish lifestyle of parties, dancing and drink. She is unsatisfied with her life and attempts to escape her insecurities through her life style, such escapades include gambling, which soon leaves her broke and alone, after she spends all the money Harry left her.

Tom still lives in Little Hangleton, he marries a local girl.


1926

Merope has a baby boy to an unnamed father, loosing the will to live she leaves him at an orphanage and names him after Tom, whom she regrets leaving, as she dies she sees the flash of blue [From chapter 2].


1937

Harry is spiralling out of control, his ideas of saving the world have collapsed and he begins opening false factories for Jewish workers to live in, a type of sanctuary from the growing racial violence. (Schindlers list inspired)

Tom Riddle JR. Meets Dumbledore, his existence is unknown to Harry, and his child hood remains the same as in the original timeline.

Alicia, is a high ranking officer under Grindelwald, like Harry she has lost control, although she still aids some Jews to escape to America.


1945

[I now I skipped a bit but I'll fill you in]

*Tom Riddle JR continues his life the same

*Dumbledore believes Alicia to be dead

*Grindelwald is now running the NAZI operations as a cover for a war with wizarding Britain, Dumbledore is the leader of the underground resistance, the Dragon Army [nicknamed Dumbledore's army by Grindelwald]

*Harry fails at several attempts to assassinate both Hitler and Grindelwald

*Alicia is discovered as a Jew with Muggle connections and flees Bulgaria [where Grindelwald was] to Germany where she hopes to destroy the headquarters of the third Reich in an act of penance for all the mistakes she made trying to save the world.

Harry, after well and truly failing at the vanquishing Business anonymously invites Dumbledore to a meeting place where he secretly advises him about an upcoming summit to be attended by Grindelwald. Dumbledore tells Harry his voice reminds him of a young man he once knew that is long dead.

Harry travels by train to nowhere in particular, he wills himself to disappear. Whilst on a platform he sees the now much older Alicia. The two plan one final attempt to end the war, reasoning it couldn't get any worse.

The two attend Dumbledore's surprise confrontation with Grindelwald, as does a polyjuiced Tom Riddle JR, who, followed Dubledore to meet Grindelwald. Also there are all the major German leaders.

Dumbledore and Grindlewald fight, an avada kedavra shoots towards Tom Riddle JR. but at the last minute, and against all his instincts Harry pushes the disguised Riddle into the path of the curse, killing him. There is a flash of incredible blue light, when it dims Grindelwald and the NAZI leaders are bound, each is given the choice of suicide or facing a war crimes trial.

Harry and Alicia reveal themselves to Dumbledore, who allows them the choice of living normal lives in England.

No one sees the body of Tom Riddle Jr.


Harry marries Alicia and they have one daughter, Elaine Prince. [Harry has, by this point, forgotten much of his pre-past life]

The two suffer from PTS disorder for most of their lives after the war. When their daughter renounces them in favour of a muggle man they disapprove of [He reminds Harry of a man he has forgotten] the pair die peacefully in their sleep.


1991

On the Hogwarts train leaving platform 9 3/4 a little boy and his toad, a girl and her books, a freckled red head, a blonde, and a boy with bright green eyes sit together on a train. None of them ask about parentage, none of them care, none of them know of names not to be spoken; Harry had finally managed to save the world.


So, I thought it was depressing, one of the reasons I am giving up on it. I also found it equally cheesy, overly sentimental, and all around akward...

I hope you all enjoy the rest of your Day/Week/Year/Life.

I probably won't write another FanFic...but thank-you, more than you realise, for bothering to read at all :D

Here's a joke to cheer you up:

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.

After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.

The monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. if I start to get nervous, I take a sip."

So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice. At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm.

Upon his return to his office after mass, he found the following note on the door:

1. Sip the Vodka, don't gulp.
2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J. C.
7. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the Spook.
8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out of him.
9. When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey,don't say he was stoned off his ass.
10. We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."
11. When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said, "Take this and eat it for it is my body." He did not say "Eat me"
12. The Virgin Mary is not called "Mary with the Cherry,"
13. The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, yeah God.
14. Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter's, not a Peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's!


Bye Bye :)
