What if Harry Potter went back in time, fell in love with Lucius, and then was forced to return to the present? How do you go grow up and go to school with the boy who will one day be your father? Not beta read. See notes for a more detailed summary. Cross-posted to AO3. Warning: absent parent (Harry Potter); Lucius and Narcissa are good parents. Rating to be safe.

"Freedom is what we do with what is done to us." ― Jean-Paul Sartre - After his fifth year Harry decides that enough is enough. He is tired of playing at being a child, tired of acting oblivious, and tired of watching his lover be chained to two different masters. This is essentially a reincarnation story. Rating, at this point, to be safe.
