Previously on Everlasting:

Shakily Harry threw a rock before it could harm his Godfather. That brought the attention of his Professor. Snarling it growled at spat saliva at Harry. Harry shivered, he knew one thing he was either insanely stupid at the moment or insanely brave. Harry believed it could be either. Harry watched as the Werewolf approached at him with its large legs. Slowly it stood up, matching his own height.

However, before it attacked Harry, another howling noise was heard. Distracted by the noise, the werewolf before him ran towards the origin the howl. Harry was filled in fear as he saw his godfather, Sirius Black, tumble out of bushes where he was.

Harry could only comprehend one thing after the events of tonight-his godfather grievously injured by his best friends father. Harry gulped in his nervously and bolted after his godfather.

Running down the hill as quickly as he could, Harry stumbled to reach his godfather in time. But as as he did Harry heard the pound that was beside him shutter and groan as it unnaturally changed into ice.'What-' Confused of what had occurred, Harry looked around for the answer and found it in the sky. Nervously he gulped, and then went white as the ice like the lake had turn into he breathed out, "Dementors.."

The atmosphere Harry noted, just became fervid and chilled as the dementors commenced their more Harry Potter found himself chilled to the bones by the dark creatures as they flew towards him.

As Harry stumbled and tried,"Expecto patronum!" All harry could do was produce a inchoate Patronum charm to protect himself and his though the incomplete spell hardly wardered off the creatures it stand Harry persisted to undulate with his wand as the black hooded creatures were unyielding. Before Harry could yell out the patronum charm a dementor was too close to comfort. Harry's eyes widen as he felt memories of past being forcibly resurfaced.

"Harry!" His mother voice cried out- a woman with brown hair and eyes like his.

Distant crying and distant evil laughter was heard.

"No! Leave Harry alone! Take me instead! I beg of you-"

Flashes of green and the sounds of thuds reached Harry as he saw the man in a black cloak with a wand pointing at him smiling evilly at him.

Ignorant of the danger little Harry Potter found him self-smiling at clapping at the pretty show his parents were doing.

Little Harry soon realized something was terribly wrong, and no this was not a show, when the last thing he remembered was seeing a bright green light once more.

"Those fools, thought they could be brave and foolish by dying because their love for an infant." The evil man said as he approached to the infant with green innocent eyes.

Little Harry did not understand or could comprehend the current predicament he was currently in or his parents for the matter.

'Focus!' Harry screamed at his own mind, 'I can't lose focus here because of my memories!'

As Harry struggled to focus on the more important matters rather the matters of his past and yelled once more with a wave of his wand,"Expecto Patronum!" This time the light from his wand expanded and thwarted the black creatures that had surround him.

Dimly Harry saw a stag of pure white at the other side of the bank of the large lake, and someone that looked familiar behind the creature. Harry blinked and thought as he narrowed his eyes,'Is that dad?'

As the light that had came from the pure white stag, expanded his eyesight dimmed and everything felt numb. Exhausted Harry found himself on the ground unconscious because of the relentless attacks from the Dementors.

Chapter 23: Playing with the idea of Time Travel

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you. -Carl Sandburg

If Professor Edward Elric was told that time travel was possible he might not have believed at the age eight, he would of gladly tell you that, "No way in hell is that scientifically possible."

At the age of eighteen, he would perhaps accept the notion that the possibility of time travel just might be possible-having been introduced to magic at the time.

However now that he knew that time travel was possible- just not scientifically possible, he cursed rather loudly in the empty corridor beside the infirmary.

"God dammit!" He roared.

He could of saved his mother, he could have had saved his brother.. and-

Edward dropped on the ground in defeat.

He could of had saved his mother, he repeated to himself over and over.

Dammit. God dammit. He gripped his left hand until is was white.

Magic was unfair.

It had no laws.No boundaries of any kind. It was simply intangible where as Alchemy was not.

"Erm? Professor Elric?" a female voice interrupted of him of his thoughts.

He wanted to hit Dumbledore on the head for bloody telling him sooner.

Unfortunately for him that was not possible for him.

"Professor?" The voice asked once more.

'Why didn't you inform me of this sooner, headmaster?' Yellow eyes wondered with sorrow.

He blinked as he stared at the form of Hermoine Granger.

"Are you alright?" Granger asked worriedly as she spotted him on the floor.

"Just dandy." Edward gritted his teeth as he stood up.

"Right. The Headmaster asked you to-"

"I know already." He snapped at her, and at the unfairness of it all.

She eyed him worriedly,"Alright. As soon as Harry wakes up we can save everyone that needs to be saved- Buckbeak, Harry's godfather and..."She drawled.

"Yes, yes." He snapped at her again.

Because obviously a hippogriff's life was much more important of a life than his own mother or his brothers current metal form for that matter...

Or Hughes life...

Pissed, he avoided Granger as much he could. Because of her and her predicament, everything he had known just fell apart.

For a Alchemy master, that was like his whole scientific world collapsing in on it self. All because of that necklace that Granger had in her grasp.

"Harry's awake you ready?" Hermoine's voice interrupted his thoughts.

'No' he wanted to tell her.

"Yes." He said begrudgingly. If only to satisfy the headmaster's request of protecting the two delinquents.

AN-So, here is a short chapter, but an important on about time travel. Especially since I think, it shows real thoughts of Eds opinion/reaction of Time Travel- he wouldn't like at all. Since he is a scientist and all that. What do you think of his reaction?
