(Number 4 Privet Drive-1996)
Harry sat on his bed, tears rolling down his face "I'm so sorry Sirius, I'm so, so sorry" "Would you like a chance to save him?" Harry shot up from his bed, his Wand in his hand "Who's there?" "Would you like a chance to save them all? Your Mother? Your Father? Sirius? Remus? Cedric? Even Peter Pettigrew?" Harry's breath caught in his throat "Can I?" "Let me show you your future" Harry was pulled into a memory, he watched as Dumbledore was hit by the killing curse and fell from the tower.
He watched as Hermione was tortured into insanity with Luna Lovegood, he watched as Neville and Ron along with the other Weasleys were trapped in a home which then was consumed with Fiendfyre, he watched as Draco Malfoy was killed trying to save his Mother from Voldemort, he watched as Remus, Tonks and their son Teddy were brutally murdered by Fenrir Greyback, he watched as Severus had his throat slit by Voldemort who thought that he would betray him.
he watched as Ginny was raped then killed by Voldemort and finally he watched as Voldemort was attacked by Peter Pettigrew "For my friends" before being hit by the killing curse, he fell back into his room "I shall ask again, do you wish to save them all? You cannot just save one of them" Harry had more tears streaming down his face "I'll do it, let me save them" he felt magic pour into his as he felt lighter "I shall remove the bindings that Dumbledore didn't know about".
Harry felt severe pain for a moment before he felt something shatter, he felt lighter and his magic felt stronger "I shall now fix all of the abuse and Malnutrition, I shall leave the Basilisk Venom and Phoenix Tears as they help your body" Harry felt his bones, muscles and body groan as all of the previous damage done to him was reversed "I shall fix your eyesight", he felt pain in his eyes for a second before his glasses were removed, he could see clearly.
"Finally, I will remove the Horcrux of Tom Riddle from your head and give you a new Wand and a new selection of spells, remember them as Tom can only be killed by the Soul Destroying Curse" Harry felt something ripped out of his body from his scar, it was really, really painful, he then felt information placed inside his mind before, a shield formed around it.
"Your Occlumency Shields will protect your mind, your new Wand is 13 Inches, Yggdrasil, Mordem and Elven Wood, with a mixed core of Basilisk Venom, Phoenix Tears, Dementor Blood, Pixie Dust and a Nundu tooth, go now, I shall anchor you to the time line that I am sending you to, save them all Harry Potter" Harry blinked as a light flared and his disappeared from that time, forever.
(Headmaster's Office-Hogwarts-September 1976)
Albus Dumbledore was sat behind his desk thinking on how the war was going when he felt a presence in the room, he looked up to see a glowing woman, she had blonde hair that went down to her knees at the back, glowing green eyes that reminded Dumbledore of lily Evans, and odd golden wings in her hair, she smiled at him "Hello, Albus Dumbledore, first things first, Ariana says hello and that she doesn't blame you".
Albus looked at the woman in front of him in shock, Fawkes didn't help by flying over to the woman and landing on her shoulder and trilling happily at her, she giggled and gave him a good stroke "Hello, my pet, how are things at Hogwarts?" the phoenix trilled at her and she nodded "I see, I will need you and Albus to protect one of my chosen children, can you do that for me?" the Phoenix nodded and trilled again before flying back to his podium.
She looked back at Albus "Albus Dumbledore, I have a task for you, this task will help you finish this war but if you don't accept it or you hurt the person coming, the war will end in disaster" Albus's eyes widened "Who are you?" the woman tilted her head "You can call me Magic, this is the form I take when I need to communicate with humans, or, when I need to create one of my chosen children, will you accept my task?".
Albus blinked before nodding "Of course, Lady Magic, what would you ask of me?" the woman nodded "Tonight, one of my chosen children will appear from a rift, he is only 16 years old but, he has more knowledge of magic, swordsmanship and defence than most people in the school, he has also faced off against Voldemort" she counted them up on her fingers "About 4 times already but it has made no difference, and so many innocents have died because he wasn't ready, so I have given him what he needs".
"I have brought him to this time and anchored him here, this is his time now, he knows the future, as he came from there and he will need your help, because of his knowledge, I ask you to either, have him as a student but tutor him personally or to place him as a DADA teacher, you will find that he won't let the students walk all over him, will you help my child, Albus Dumbledore?" Albus nodded "I will, my Lady, I swear it" magic nodded and disappeared, leaving Albus to his thoughts.
(Hogwarts-Great Hall-Just after the Sorting)
Albus and the others watched as a glowing golden portal opened up and a 16 year old dropped out of it and landed on his face "Ow, damn it" he stood up and everyone gasped, he looked exactly like James Potter, except his eyes, they were Lily Evans, he rubbed his head "Where am I?" he looked up at the Head Table "Professor Dumbledore?".
Albus nodded "Come with me, young man, we'll talk in my office, I was informed that you would be arriving" the young man nodded and followed Albus out of the hall, leaving several very confused tables of students and a rather bemused group of staff members.
(Headmaster's Office-Hogwarts)
Albus sat behind his desk and looked at the young man in front of him, he could see in the young man's eyes that he had fought, they were steeled over and a dark shadow echoed in them "Hello, could I have your name?" Harry nodded "Harry James Potter, Professor, what year is it?" Albus blinked "1976, my boy, I guess you are James's Son?" Harry nodded "1976, so the year before it all goes wrong, I see" he looked at Dumbledore "I was told I was anchored to this time, what does that mean?".
Albus stroked his beard "I think, my boy, that it means that you are stuck in the time line, you cannot return to where you are from and that you job is to change the future of this world" Harry nodded "Okay then, if it is to change, we will need to use your Penesive" Harry placed his new Wand against his forehead and removed the memories that the voice had showed him, along with the death of his mother and of Sirius.
He stood as did Albus and the two walked over to the Penesive, he placed the memory inside and the two entered it, after the memories had ended the two came out, rather pale, Albus breathed shakingly "I see, so that would have been our future" Harry nodded "I was asked to make a decision about you, and I think I have, please sit down and take this test" Harry sat at the desk and quickly went through the test, his new knowledge that the voice had added helped.
After about half an hour, he handed it back to Albus who quickly started to mark it, Albus looked completely shocked, he looked up at Harry "By the gods, you got 100%, congratulations, Mr Potter, you are now the new Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor" Harry blinked, then blinked again "Wait what?" Albus chuckled "The test you just did was the application for the Defence Against the Dark Arts position, I thought I would be teaching it this year as we have had no other applicants".
Harry gulped "I see, bugger, I didn't see that coming, but I am younger than my students" Albus nodded "Indeed, but I believe you will be able to handle them, though, the Marauders will give you a bit of trouble" Harry's brain stopped for a moment "Did you just say?" Albus nodded and Harry went white "I have to teach my parents, oh gods" Harry thought about something for a second before he went ghost white.
"I have to teach Sirius and Remus, oh gods above, I am screwed, though, this does give me a chance to stop Peter from making his greatest mistake" Albus blinked "What mistake?" Harry sighed "Joining Tom's side" Albus paled "Peter is a traitor?" Harry shook his head "Not if I can help it, I will save them all if I can, Peter, Severus, Dad, Mum, Sirius, Remus, Frank, Alice, Fabian and Gideon, I'll save them all and I'll beat Tom".
Albus nodded before looking at the Sorting Hat which had return, it was staring at Harry "Mr Potter, take what is yours by Birth right" Harry walked over and picked up the hat, he held it out as three swords fell out of it and hit the desk, he looked at the first which he knew was the sword of Gryffindor, then looked at the other two and read the name on them both, it was written in Parseltongue ~Salazar Slytherin~.
He stared at them in shock "How?" the hat chuckled "Lily Evans is the direct descendent of Salazar Slytherin, not Tom Riddle" Harry felt three sheathes appear on his body, two on his back for the Slytherin swords and one on his waist for the Gryffindor sword, he sheathed all three swords before looking at Albus who was looking at him in awe "The direct descendent of two of the founding four, come, we have a staff meeting to attend".
(Staff Room-Hogwarts)
The rest of the staff turned and watched as Albus and the young man from earlier walked into the room "Albus, why have you brought him here?" Albus turned to McGonagall and handed her the DADA Teacher questionnaire and watched in amusement as she read it over before fainting, the others teachers looked at her in shock, Harry waved his hand and rennervated her "Are you alright, Professor?".
Professor McGonagall looked at him and nodded "Minerva is fine" Harry blinked but nodded Albus looked at the rest of the staff and smiled "Allow me to introduce, Professor Hadrian Gryffindor, our new Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor". The professor gapped at him "Are you mad, Albus, he's a child" an overpowering aura of magic flooded the room before receding back into Harry who stared at the teachers.
The teachers all stared at him in shock and Albus coughed, they all turned to him "Professor Gryffindor got 100% on the DADA Teacher Questionnaire, he is the new DADA Teacher" they all looked ta Harry in shock who shrugged modestly "It wasn't all that difficult" Albus chuckled "Harry, my boy, you are the first to ever get 100% on that test" Harry blinked at him "You can't be serious, Professor" Albus smiled "No, he is in Gryffindor".
Harry facepalmed "Damn it Albus" he sighed "Fair enough, it isn't the strangest thing I've done, I think that would be the Patronus" they all looked at him "The Patronus? You can conjure a Patronus?" Harry nodded "I have been able to since I was 13, observe" he flicked his wrist causing his wand to appear "Expecto Patronum" they all watched as a silver Stag pranced around the room before stopping next to Harry and dissipating.
