15 times over, a harry potter fanfic

Harry's morning started out normal; he woke up, did his teeth, got dressed and watched as Nevile tripped as he exited the bathroom. Of course normal for Harry now wasn't really the same as normal even a couple of months ago because now a normal day started by checking the Marauders Map to see where Draco Malfoy was.

Now the idea of constantly knowing where Draco Malfoy was a couple of months ago would have been silly. Why waste the time but now it was crucial because Malfoy's name kept disappearing from the Marauders Map which meant one of two things. The first possibility was Draco Malfoy could be leaving Hogwarts a couple of times a day presumably either going home (where Voldemort was staying) or to Hogsmeade. Harry didn't know how he could leave to go home and going to Hogsmeade meant he was using one of the secret passageways that he should have no way of knowing about. The second possibility was he was going somewhere not on the map like the chamber of secrets or the room of requirement. Malfoy wasn't a parcel mouth so he was going into the room of requirement. Harry had even verified this by trying to get into the room when Draco's name wasn't on the map. When he tried walking past the wall three times no door appeared which proved someone was in there while Malfoy's name was missing from the map. The only thing Harry, Ron and Hermione couldn't figure out what Malfoy thought of to get into the room he was using.

As Harry entered the common room Hermione pulled him aside with Ron who somehow was already awake though he looked like he was half asleep.

"So Harry, you found out how to get the memory from Slughorn yet," said Hermione. Forcing him from his thoughts on Ron's bed head. He looked up at Hermione and repeated what she said to himself in his head and all he said was "ugh".

Harry didn't really want to get the memory from Slughorn and didn't like the fact that Dumbledore was pushing him to get it. Especially since he didn't know what the memory was about in the first place.

Harry was interrupted from answering by a girl pearing and giving them a note.

Dear Harry, Ron and Hermione

Aragon died last night. Harry and Ron, you met him, and you know how special he was. Hermione I know you'd have liked him. It would mean a lot to me if you'd nip down for the burial later this evening. I'm planning on doing it around dusk. That was his favorite time of day. I know your not supposed to be out that late but you can use the cloak. Wouldn't ask but I can't face it alone.

Hadgrig

"Look at this," Harry said to Hermione, handing her the note. "Oh for heaven's sake" Hermione said, passing the note to Ron. For a little while they considered going but in the end it just wasn't worth it even with the cloak.

"Fifty-seventh time lucky you think" Harry joked as Hermione reminded him to talk to Slughorne. "Lucky," said Ron. "Harry that's it get lucky"

"What do you mean"

"Use your lucky potion"

"Ron that's it" Said Hermione And so they decided that after potions later that day Harry would try with the Felix Felicis.

Potions went relatively well considering this is Hogwarts. The only thing off was Malfoy's insults or lack of in this case. It was odd sitting in potions not listening to Malfoy. Relaxing but odd. After potions when they got up to Gryffindor tower and Harry took the Felix Felicis he did the opposite of what everyone including himself thought he would do. He decided to go to Aragog's funeral. As soon as Harry got everyone to agree to his decidedly odd plan, based off of a feeling, created by a potion. They heard a shout.

"What are you doing HER?", Lavender Brown shrieked from the common room.

Harry heard Ron give some bad answer as he slipped through the portrait hole. As he was leaving he even heard Jinny and Dean get into a fight. From there Harry walked through the castle, out onto the grounds and stopped when he reached the greenhouses. When he arrived he watched as Slughorn exited from the Greenhouse One, saying thank you to Professor Sprout as he exited. Under the cover of darkness and his cloak, Harry watched as Slughorn neared him and had the sudden urge to pull the cloak off.

"Merlin's beard Harry, you made me jump!", said Slughorn, stopping and looking weary. "How did you get out of the castle."

From there Harry explained how Filch didn't lock the door, how Arogog was an acromantula, how he had died and how Hagrid was devastated from the loss. From there everything went smoothly. Slughorn wanted Aragog's venum so he came along. The burial went fine, no issues and afterwards Slughorn got drunk. As it turns out a drunk Slughorn is a talkative Slughorn. A Slughorn who was even willing to give Harry the memory.

Harry felt the Felix Felicis wear off as he re-entered the castle under the cloak. He made his way up to the headmasters office to show Dumbledore the memory. When Harry arrived at the gargoyle he said the password "toffee eclairs" and made his was up the stair case and entered when he heard a soft "come in" from behind the door.

Harry walked in to see Dumbledore looking out the window. Though he turned around to see Harry entering. "Good gracious Harry" said Dumbledore. "To what do I owe this very late pleasure".

Harry went on to explain how he had obtained the memory. After he finished explaining Dumbledore brought out his pensive and they watched the memory.

The new memory started exactly how the edited memory had with Slughorn and his Slug club back many years before when teenage Tom Riddle was there with the rest of his followers. It started with them talking about idle chatter. Whose to marry who this year, the ministers new legislation and the upcoming retirement of one of the professors. When everyone was gone except for Tom Riddle and Slughorn, Riddle asked the same question he asked last time only this time he got a different answer.

"Sir I was wondering what you know about … about horcruxes"? Slughorn seemed to get quiet almost nervous, Harry thought.

"Project for DADA is it?" But Harry could tell for certain that Slughorn knew it wasn't for school work.

"Not exactly sir" said Riddle "I came across it in a book and didn't fully understand the concept."

Harry watched as Slughorn explained horcruxes and then how it was possible to make more than one of them after Riddle asked. Harry could even remember what Voltermort said when he was 11. "I was ripped from my body, I was less than spirit, Less than the meerest ghost...but still I was alive". That frase made much more sense now.

After Dumbledore pulled him out of the memory he explained how he had already suspected that Tom Riddle had made horcruxes and how in Harry's second year he thought that the Diary was a horcrux. He explained fear of death caused him to make more than one and how he believed that Salazar's Slytherin's locket was one along with others of the founder's earlooms.

After finishing up with Dumbledore, Harry made his way back to Gryffindor tower to tell everything to Ron and Hermione and they were positively stunned. But then again so was Harry.

Later the next day Harry was looking through his potion book and came across a spell 'Sectumsempra' labeled for enemy's.

It wasn't until two weeks later that anything really happened Gryffindor was getting ready for the last Quidditch game of the season agence Ravenclaw and Harry was once again checking the Marauders Map for Malfoy. Instead of being in the Slytherin common room or not on the map at all instead he was in Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom.

Harry was very suspicious why was Malfoy in a girls bathroom and Moaning Myrtle's at that. So to investigate Harry slipped on the cloak and snuck down to the second floor bathroom. As Harry arrives at the bathroom he hears crying from behind the door, the crying sounds like Malfoy. Harry being the impulsive person that he is, enters the bathroom and starts a duel with Malfoy. It starts with simple spells but quickly escalates. Harry remembers the spell labeled for enemies in the Half Blood Prince's book and yells out "Sectumsempra" and points his wand at Malfoy.

The spell hits Malfoy and what looks like a large wunde aperse on malfoy and he starts bleeding profusely. Harry stared not knowing what to do as he watched Malfoy bleed out on the bathroom floor.

Myrtle on the other hand knew exactly what to do, she started screaming for a teacher. Professor Snape came rushing in trying to heal Draco as Harry watched. After Draco was mostly healed, Snape, Malfoy and Harry made their way to the hospital wing so that Madame Pomfrey could better treat Malfoy.

After getting Malfoy to the hospital wing Snape used Legilimency on Harry to find out where he learned a Dark Magic spell and saw the Half Blood Prince's book in his memories. Then Snape asked him to get the Book from his dorm room.

Harry rushed up to Gryffindor tower and up to the boys Dorm where Ron was playing chess with Dean and asked to borrow his potions book. After ron gave him the book Harry ran up to the wall in front of the room of requirements where he walked past three times thinking 'I need a place to hide this book,I need a place to hide this book,I need a place to hide this book,' and a door appeared. Inside the room were piles upon piles of things people had hidden over the years.

Harry walked through isles of clothing, wands and books until he found a good hiding place. In the end he found a good hiding place by a manikin bust with a tiara sitting on its head.

After hiding the book he made his way back to the hospital wing and gave Ron's book to Professor Snape "If this Is your's Mr Potter then why does it say Roonil Wazilb written inside the couver"

"It's my nickname sir" said Harry

"Your nickname" snape repeated in a disbelieving voice "well mister Potter I think you just earned yourself a weeks detention"

Later on that night Harry went to detention and it was exactly as he thought it would be, boring. When he came back to the common room he walked in on a huge party! As it turned out Gryffindor had won the Quidditch cup. " Oh Harry isn't is exiting" harry turned around as Hermione pulled him into a hug

Harry felt something crush agence his chest closed his eyes and knew no more.

Loop 2

When Harry's eyes opened again he was lying in bed back in Gryffindor tower 'must have had some fire whisky last night' Harry thought to himself as he got up he walked into the bathroom did his teeth got dressed and watched as Neville tripped and almost fell 'hun' Harry thought to himself 'Neville sure trips and falls a lot I could have sworn he tripped exactly like that just 2 weeks ago. He also opted to not check the map for once since Malfoy was obviously in the hospital wing.

Harry walked down the stairs and was shocked by how clean it was in the common room almost like the party never happened, then Harry remembered the House Elves clean at night.

"So Harry, you found out how to get the memory from Slughorn yet," said Hermione. Harry didn't know werther it was his confusion over her question or his grogginess but Harry just stared at her and decided to go lie back down since it was the weekend.

"Harry, HARRY you there mate" said Ron. Harry looked up to see Ron and Hermione looking at him concerned "yeah I'm fine I'm just really tired I'm actually feeling kinda sick so I'm going to go lie back down"

"Ok Harry I'll give you my notes later" said Hermione as he started walking up the stairs. As he was about half way up a girl seemed to appear out of nowhere and handed him a note.

Dear Harry, Ron and Hermione

Hagrid

Harry read over the note and then he read it again, then again, then again,then again, then again, then-"Harry what does the note say" harry heard Ron ask from the bottom of the stairs

"Um could one of you tell me the date please" Harry asked very confused

"Sure Harry, it's April 21" Ron said after casting a quick tempus.

After hearing the date he realized he was somehow two weeks in the past!

'It's too much Harry thinks to himself. He walks upstairs and goes to bed hoping this was all a dream.

Harry wakes up aronde lunch and uses a tempus to verify he's still in the past, which he is and makes his way to the great hall. When he found Hermione and Ron he pulled them asid and into an unused classroom.

"So Harry what's up I thought you were sick you can't just skip school only to slack off and run through the halls instead of doing your homework and attending classes"complained Hermione obviously cheesed off he was missing school.

"Really Hermione, really I just have a scenario I wanted to run by you guys" said Harry " So, like if hypothetically-"

"Hypothetically?" Hermione asked in a sceptical voice

"Yes hypothetically, like if I hypothetically, possibly, maybe, sorta, somehow ended up two weeks in the past what would you guys say I should do?"

From there Harry explained everything he remembered happening in the past two weeks from retrieving the memory from Slughorn to cursing Malfoy. They were very sceptical at first but after a long explanation they believed him. The only thing they couldn't figure out was how Harry had traveled back in time.

"It couldn't have been a time turner" asked Ron "They were all destroyed last year, right?" there was a slight tilt in Ron's voice as he said the last word in his sentence 'he probably wasn't paying attention to the conversion' Harry thought to himself.

"Well ya-" Harry started saying only to be cut off by Hermione "not true mine never went back to the ministry and I have keeped it just in case something happens and we need it. Harry is there any way id there any way you could have used it without your knowledge or maybe it broke near you and some of it got in to your magical core you know that's happened before crazy thing two-"

"Hermione, Hermione I get that this is interesting to you and you would probably like to lock me in a laboratory and study me but I need to figure out how I time traveled. Maybe you could start by telling us where you keep your time turner" Harry asked

So Hermione told them " if I'm being honest I keep it aronde my neck, for safe keeping you know" she rushed to explain.

After that they figured out that when Harry and Hermione were at the party there magic was so happy and excited that it was almost bouncing around so that when they hugged it caused the time turner aronde Hermione's neck exploded and absorbed itself into the core of the most magically powerful person in the room which happened to be Harry. 'So that's also why the last thing I remembered was hugging Hermione when I woke up this morning' Harry thought to himself.

Once they finished figuring out how he got to the past they went on to figure out first who to tell and second what to do with their knowledge of the future. The answer they came up with for the first question came pretty easily. Said answer was that they should tell no one. For a while they considered telling Dumbeldore but in the end decided against it since they really had only two weeks worth of knowledge to share answer to the second question was a bit more difficult to answer. But in the end they decided to try to do things similar to how they did things last time only this time try to take the path of least resistance.

And they did instead of taking the Felix Felicis Harry got the memory without the potion since he remembered what happened last time. Then he showed the memory to Dumbledore like last time only this time it was a whole lot more boring and there was no discussion afterwards explaining Horcruxes simply off to bed, all in all a much calmer day then the first time around.

Another thing different about this time around was Harry decided to not use the Princes book since it brought him so much trouble the last time around. It did result in Harry's gradees in potion dropping a lot but that just presented an opportunity for Hermione to convince Harry to practice potion making with her since he had done everything already and therefore was very bored in and out of class. Harry even started having improved grades since he was actually studying.

And so for those two weeks Harry had to relive everything went perfectly Harry didn't fight Draco which meant that he didn't have detention and got to go to the Ravenclaw vs Gryffindor match and be there for the hole after party Harry went to be that night after the party thinking everything was going to be fine the next morning.

Loop 3

Harry woke up like normal got dressed, brushed his teeth and watched Neville trip…'oh no'

Harry raced down stairs ignoring that he could have just as easily asked Neville for the date (poor Neville). When he reached the bottom of the stairs he bumped into Hermione who was hopefully not looking for him to ask about Slughorn.

"So Harry, you found out how to ge-"

"Sorry Hermione no time what's the date" Harry rushed to ask

"Sure Harry it's April 21 why are you asking" Hermione answered not unkindly

"Oh no reason" After giving Hermione some bullshit excuse, Harry raced off to the library to find out what was happening to him.

Harry third time through was spent almost entirely in the library only coming out for food, the occasional class and sleep.

After 2 days of doing this regime he got called up to the Headmasters office for missing class and refusing to eat.

"Harry my boy what's wrong" Dumbledore asked in a grandfatherly voice "Your missing classes not eating, you know you can tell me anything"

"I just-" Harry started and then the floodgates poured open and Harry explained everything, the repeats, the time turner, all of it. How the first time he had used the liquid luck potion to get the memory from Slughorn while the second time he didn't have to. He explained how he thought it was a one time thing last time and that was why he had spent the last two day in the library trying to figure out why he was going a third time. And finally Hermione's theory.

And so Dumbldore helped him with the help of madam Pince, Professor McGonagall and surprisingly Snape they spent the entirety of the two weeks combing the Hogwarts library for any information.

After two weeks of searching (and finding nothing) Harry was exhausted. He went two bed hoping that when he woke up it would be the next day.

Loop 4

Harry lay in bed longer than usual hoping beyond hope that he wasn't repeating anymore. As he got up he saw Neville trip….

Loop 9

Harry woke up with a startled gasp remembering the night before or remembering as much as he could considering he had been drunk with Luna who surprisingly already had some knowledge of the time loops thanks to her seer abilities.

He got up, got dressed, brushed his teeth and caught Neville before he tripped. He then slipped on the invisibility cloak to avoid Hermione and went down for breakfast. As he was walking down stairs he reviewed everything he had learned in the loops so far. The first thing that he learned was that no one but him and Luna remembered the repeats and even though she knew about the loops she didn't remember anything specific from any of the loops. Second if he learned a spell in one repeat he would be able to perform it just as easily in the next loop which basically meant that if he became more powerful in a repeat it would stick with him through the rest of the repeats. Thirdly Albus Dumbldore was not the person to go to, to help with time loop stuff, too manipulative. It was actually the same with Ron, Molly, McGonagall and Hagrid; they were all just too loyal to Dumbldore and tended to normally, not always, but normally tell Dumbldore or assume he had turned into a Dark lord in Ron and Mollys cases. And Finally he had no idea how to stop the repeats but he was hoping that would change now since this repeat he had decided to search Grimmauld Place.

He headed down, ate breakfast and went up to Dumbldore's office. Harry didn't even knock since he had learned there was a spell on the gargoyle that told Dumbledore when someone arrived and gave the password. The portraits outside also told him who it was so Harry didn't bother knocking.

To get into Grimmauld Harry gave some silly excuse about love and feeling disconnected to Sirius so that Dumbledore would let him go and since Dumbledore was Dumbledore and believed in all that. (I mean this was the guy that believed Harry could destroy Voldemort with love) And so he was allowed to go. The only condition was that he had to take Snape with him. Which was bad.

Obviously Harry couldn't turn down the opportunity and even if he did it would look odd since he was supposedly morning. Plus if he turned it down he could be sent with someone like Mad-eye who could see through walls whereas with Snape he would probably be ignored and left to himself. So he and Snapre made their way to Grimmauld Place through the Flew.

As they were making their way through the entrance hall Harry made a crucial decision. Every single time he went through the repeats he told someone and this time he settled on Snape. So he pulled Him into the living room to explain things.

"KREATURE!" Harry yelled. Kreature popped in muttering about filthy half breeds. Mudbloods and Bloodtraitors, besmirching the home of his ancestors, wondering what his mistress would say. "I need tea for two now"

Kreature popped away and popped back in a few seconds handing him the tea tray.

"So Mr Potter, what is it that you wanted to waste my precious time with?" Snape drawled in an annoyed voice.

And so once again Harry Potter went through the slow process of explaining his situation.

"Well um what do you know about ah time travel, um sir" Harry decided to add the sir as an afterthought feeling as though if he was as polite as possible he might just pull this off without getting detention.

"I know much about time travel mister Potter" Snape said interrupting Harry's train of thought "more than your feeble brain could ever comprehend"

And from there starts a long conversation full of insults and bad explanations which lead to a thoroughly confused potions master and an exhausted time traveler. So after a lot of convincing that this isn't all to Just to get attention and this is really happening Harry got to spend the rest of the day in the library with Snape looking for a solution to the time loop problem.

After searching for what seemed like days it was Snape who finally found something and that was:

The Aurora Ritual

By Aurora Simston Mistress of the Dark Arts and their uses

The Aurora ritual was created and completed for the first time by Aurora Simston, a very powerful Dark witch from the Americas who was most known for her time as a dark lady when she lived in ancient Greece. She is also well known by another name from the fabled story a hundred times over where a young girl only known by the nick name of little star (Lady Aurora name from her childhood). In the story little star gets trapped in a time loop cursed to live the same week over and over again as punishment by the gods for stealing fruit from an elderly woman the moral of the children's story was to not steal because only after the hundredth time when she finally decided not to steal and gave the woman back her fruit did the loop stop whereas in real life little star was always greedy and she kept the food and came up with a very dark ritual that allowed her to stop the loops.

This is that ritual, the ritual itself consists of multiple parts a potion, a ritual circle, the incantation and four casters

Ingredients for the potion;

5 drops Acromantula venom

3 Ashwinder egg

2 pinches of powdered Belladonna

8 crushed Billywig sting

7 drops of Blood from each caster

2 crushed Fairy Wing

9 pinches of crushed Hemlock

1 baby Mandrake

3 un crushed Occamy egg

4 Porcupine quill

Burned Sage

As Harry looked over the ingredients list he was dismayed and as he thought that was just the ingredient for the potion. The potion itself looked like it took 4 days to make so all in total it would probably take the hole of the two weeks to finish since they would have to get together all the ingredients and that wasn't even to mention everything else they needed fo the ritual part

Ritual ingredients;

Ritual salt

3 drops of blood from each of the casters

The carved out horn of a manticore

Ashes from a phoenix's rebirth

A fresh apple

A wand with the core of a piece of a domenters cloak

One human sacrifice

Caster requirements

First caster

Must be the person stuck in the loop

Must be able to wield the wand with the core of a piece of a domenters cloak

Must be able to perform the patronus charm

Second caster

Must be the one to make the potion

Must have been stung by the true feeling of lost love

Must be male

Third caster

Must be a seer

Must be a pureblood

Must be female

Fourth caster

Must have created one or more horcruxes

Must have at least one muggle parent

Must be a dark arts practitioner

As Harry read through the rest of the list he realised how impossibile this was.

In the end Harry and Snape decided to not do the ritual this loop and instead do more research on the ingredients needed and who could be the casters.

They realised quite quickly that most of the ingredients for the potion Snape already had, it was more the stuff needed for the ritual that was going to be the problem.

The casters on the other hand soon became apparent.

"So the first caster obviously has to be me right" Harry said

Snape look like he was about to roll his eyes then seemed to think better of it almost as if it was to Gryffindorish "obviously" Snape said in a droll voice but let him continue.

And then they decided that Snape would be the second caster since he would be the one to make the potion and he had lost lilly. The next was going to be luna since she was a seer and a pureblood. And finally the only person who could fill the place of the last caster would be Voldemort.

Loop 12

In the end it took Harry, Snape and later added Luna many loops just to research everything needed for the ritual and the potion.

The next thing they had to do was contact voldemort which they did in this letter

To Voldemort

Hi I guess, you're probably wondering why I'm writing to you and really I wouldn't write to you unless it was the last possible option and unfortunately it is. I don't really know how to explain to you what happened but I will try my best. It all started technically speaking about a week and a half from now or for me 22 weeks ago. I was having a normal (for me) week and it ended with a party at gryffindor since in about a week and a half gryffindor will win the Quidditch cup. Anyways some time during the party I can't remember when exactly I hugged my friend Hermione (she's the really smart muggle born) now that in of itself wasn't a problem the real problem (that I didn't find out till the next day) was that Hermione had been wearing her time turner that she had from her third year around her neck and thanks to the speed at which I approached her and the tight hug it caused the time turner to crack and some of the particles from the turner to seep into my core and forced me into a time loop. I have been in this time loop for about as I said 22 weeks. Only in the 9th loop did I (with the help of Snape) find a ritual that would stop the loop. The problem is that in order to cast this ritual you need 4 caster which I'm sure you know is pretty standard for a ritual of this size and while normally this wouldn't be a problem because I have more than enough willing casters there's an issue in the fact that there are specific requirements for each of the casters. I have personally found all the casters necessary except for one who has some hard requirements to fill. The first requirement is that the caster must have created one or more horcruxes (hence you) the second requirement is that the caster must have at least one muggle parent (hence you again) and finally the caster must be a dark arts practitioner (hence you for a final time). Now you are probably wondering 'why should I waste my time helping the potter brat' and you're not exactly wrong, of course there is one issue which is I can't die in this time loop (believe me i've tried) I just wake up at the beginning of the loop again which I'm sure you can understand is very aggravating. Anyways I hope you are willing to help.

Sincerely

Harry potter

It was 4 days tillHarry got a response from Voldemort and the response was luckily affirmative. Voldemort had graciously (his words not harry's) agreed to participate in the ritual if only so that he could end up killing Harry later on.

Loop 15

It took another 3 repeats for Harry, Luna, Snape and Voldemort to get it right but they eventually did on loop 15.

Harry was so happy when he woke up again after 28 weeks of loops to a new day.

The end
