Dumbledore sat in his usual seat in the great hall. He looked around at the students who were eating their dinner and wondered how many would be returning after the holidays, especially with Voldemort upping the attacks. His plans for Harry Potter had fallen through, he did not think he could get the boy to be a willing sacrifice after what he saw in the middle of the alley. It didn't help that he no longer had access to the boy's money for the war effort. He was seriously regretting allowing the boy's godfather to die. At the time it had seemed like a good idea to keep his control on the boy. It now seemed to have been where everything went wrong. Deciding he had enough to eat he got up and left the great hall. The speeches had already been made and professor McGonagall could dismiss the students. As soon as he left the hall he felt a pull at his naval making him panic, he however did not get a chance to scream as he found his surroundings changing then landing on a hard floor at someone's feet.

Raising his head he saw Harry standing in front of him with the two he had previously seen him with as well as a child in his arms. The evil smirk on Harry's face gave him a fore boding feeling in his stomach.

"Harry?"

Harry rolled his eyes and said "Is that all you are capable of saying professor? Oh well I brought you here to tell you that you will be getting a new life. How do you feel about being a child again Dumbledore?"

Dumbledore could tell that Harry was not being generous. In fact he seemed furious. "Harry what do you mean by that? Surely you know that if I disappear it will raise some questions?"

Laughing, Harry replied "Thank you for your concern old man, however I have that covered."

Harry moved aside and behind him stood Dumbledore's doppelganger. The worry Dumbledore felt when he was kidnapped grew. "Harry surely you do not believe no-one will notice that that is not me?"

The doppelganger answered instead of Harry "Actually, Percival, I am Albus Dumbledore. My world was taken over by the dark and everyone I know and care about did not survive the takeover. Harry offered me a new start in your place. I know what you did and I have no objection to you getting what you deserve and maybe I will be able to fix some of the damage you caused in this world."

Horror flashed across Dumbledore's face as he realised that this was more serious than he had originally thought. With a replacement especially one who was him for all intents and purposes, Harry and his friends could do what they wanted with him. Harry decided to speak before Dumbledore could start begging,

"Let's get this over with."

Sending a wave of magic towards Dumbledore who felt himself shrink and fade from wherever Harry had brought him. Harry's voice was the last thing he heard as he said

"Enjoy living my life the way you wanted me to live it Dumbledore."

The next time Dumbledore opened his eyes he was looking at his own face wearing half moon glasses and placing him on the doorstep like he had done with Harry. He was just saying "good luck Harry Potter" He felt a warming charm wash over him before a sleeping spell knocked him from consciousness.

The next thing he head was a scream that made his eyes open in shock. He saw what he could only perceive as a nightmare. There above him stood Petunia Evans, the woman he paid to mistreat Harry in order to make him more malleable. He was freezing where he lay and a little damp from the morning air. He wondered had he really left Harry in such a way?

Petunia and her husband took him inside and they read the letter that had been left in the basket with him. His first shock came when the basket he lay in was thrown in the cupboard none too gently by Vernon who was saying "Even the freaks don't want him Pet, look at that they are paying us to teach him a lesson. I will not allow that freakishness near my son. He can stay in that cupboard." With those words he felt the blood wards take hold on his magical core. He knew this would make him half as powerful as he should be and the other binding on his magic made sure he could not easily access his magic to protect himself from the Dursleys.

He felt just how cruel he had been to Harry by doing this to him and knew he was justified for being angry. For the first time he truly regretted what he had done to the boy in his quest to use him for the greater good.

Thus began Albus Dumbledore's life as Harry Potter. As he got older he found he could not speak about his other life nor access any of the knowledge he had on magic that he had before, he had to learn everything from scratch.

Harry watched as Dumbledore disappeared. He felt vindicated as he knew that the old man would go through all the pain he had caused him. The world he sent him to was similar to his, it was just behind in the timeline. He turned to the new Dumbledore and said

"I know you are not like him. So I will not be judgemental. I will leave you to fix the mistakes of your counter part, it is your life now, live it well."

Smiling at Harry Dumbledore thanked him then apparated to his new home in Hogwarts he had a lot of work ahead of him.

Harry was feeling excited. He was going to find Gabriel. He couldn't wait to have him meet Draco. Before he could say anything Death said

"Ok Harry, when were you going to tell us about the soul bond you created?"

Harry and Thanatos both whipped around to face Death and said "What?"

Looking Harry in the eye Death could tell that Harry truly did not know what he was talking about.

He sighed before saying "Harry before you came here you bonded with someone, a soul bond, how can you not be aware of it?"

Harry was freaking out as he said "Who am I bonded to?"

Death answered "There cannot be that many people you placed a blessing on Harry, you just didn't do it properly. I'm not sure what you were trying to do but you used your chaotic powers on a mortal at first I thought it was deliberate on your part, I can see now with your reaction that it was probably an accident."

Harry did not sound happy when he said "Are you telling me that I bound myself to someone?"

"Yes Harry, that is what I'm saying. I only know because I can see the bond as you used the power of Chaos and as he is my brother I can recognise it anywhere. There is a reason he changed you when he made you an angel of Chaos. His power does not mix well with other species at least not without me to balance it out."

Harry latched onto that little bit of hope as he said "So you can fix it?"

Shaking his head Death said "Sorry kiddo, I can't undo something you did. Only you can do that."

The only person it could be that Harry could think of was Buffy. At the time he thought he was helping her. He was going to have to go back and fix it right after he sees his family.

"Lets go get dad before we go home. Then we can deal with this bond. I miss my family."
