A/N: This is a time fic. I know, that plot has been done to death, but I've
been reading a lot of them lately and felt like writing one. I'd like to
say that it's totally different from all the others, but it's got the basic
plotline. Now, on with the story.
Ch2: If at first you don't succeed, sky diving just isn't for you!
The two Marauders had to practically run to keep up with Harry. He had gone into what Sirius jokingly called his 'Command Mode'. And you didn't want to mess with a Harry Potter in Command Mode. He was practically screaming power and respect. When the group reached the stone gargoyle, Harry scanned it for the password. Shortly after his 15 birthday, the Boy Who Lived discovered he had several interesting new talents. He could vividly remember the day he'd shown Albus...
September 1, 1995
A 15 year old Harry Potter strolled up to the stone gargoyle that led to the headmaster's office. He didn't know the password, so spent 20 minutes guessing sweets.
"Come on you stupid thing, just open up." Giving up, he smacked the stone beast on the head. But when his hand connected...
'The password is "Smarties"' A strange voice broke through his thoughts. Harry drew his hand back quick, but said the password anyway and started up the stairs.
"Come in, Harry" Dumbledore's voice called through the door.
"Ummm, professor, there are a few thing's I have to tell you about.", Harry began as he sat down. He then proceeded to explain what happened outside. When he finished, there was a proud smile on his mentor's face.
"That, Harry, is called 'Scanning'. It's very rare and can be used to gain the secrets of any magical objects. Use this wisely Harry. I'm sure you'll find productive uses it." Dumbledore explained, saying the last part with mischief evident in his voice. "Anything else."
"Actually, yes", Harry replied, standing up. Suddenly there was a tall man with brown hair standing in his place. "I'm a shapeshifter." The man turned into a beautiful golden griffin(a lion with white eagle wings). "And an Animagus."He continued when he changed back. Harry swore he never saw Dumbledore's eyes twinkle as much as they were that day.

The trio reached the top of the stairs and went in. Albus was sitting behind his desk and motioned them to sit as well. "Now", he began. "I'm afraid I have some grave news. Voldemort has a new plan to get rid of Harry. He is going to go back in time and kill Lily and James, so Harry will never be born." A shocked silence filled the room after this statement.
"What?!?", Sirius asked, his eyes wide.
"He is tired of trying to kill Harry again and again with no results. He wants to eliminate the problem before it begins."
"Anyway to stop him going back?", Harry asked.
"He left this morning. Now we could send someone back to protect him. If I remember correctly, there were three new teachers in your parents 6th year. The disappeared just a bit into the year, shortly after an attack on the school, under mysterious circumstances. I believe that was when the DADA job became cursed."
"That year is kind of fuzzy. Almost if someone is trying to stop me from remembering it, but I think you're right.", Remus replied thoughtfully.
"I believe we were put under a low-grade memory charm. There is only one thing Harry," he said, turning to the boy who was now standing by the window. "It takes a lot of power to preform this charm, so..." Harry cut him off.
"I'll have to be one of the ones that go. I got that." He was surprisingly calm for someone who was just told he'd have to travel in time to save his parents from getting killed too early. Albus looked his somewhat surrogate- grandson up and down. He no longer resembled the scared first year waiting for the shorting. He was 5'8 and had gained some nicely toned muscles from training(he had started to learn fighting techniques last year to prepare for the Dark Lord-he was very,very, good as well).Add that to his cute, messy black hair and expressive green eyes, it was no wonder why all the girls were falling over themselves. 'His parents would be so proud of him right now.', Albus thought, but turned his attention back to what Harry was saying.
"Remus, Sirius, you two should come as well."
"Why us", they asked, together.
"Because you know that year the best, after all, you were there."
"Alright it might be fun, and just think of all the points I can take from Snape.", Sirius added, dreamily.
Chuckling, Harry continued. "I can have everything ready by tomorrow morning, so, we leave at noon?"
"Sounds good." The rest agreed and Harry headed to the Order's Headquarters.
