A Travel Through Time: Obliviate!
OMIGOSH!!! SHORTEST CHAPPIE!!! Well, please adjust to this... And I am soooooooooooo sorry I haven't updated for so long. I just didn't have the heart to type. It'll be slow, too. My J/L fic is probably abandoned. It just didn't work. I like this one, though, so I'll continue. Just review, ok?
**************************************************************************** ***********************
Harry sighed and lay back on his back. His head throbbed terribly and he very much wanted to smack his head on the wall because he had been so STUPID. Of course, it wouldn't help the headache and it was at least better then the Hospital Wing, where Madame Pomfrey had insisted for him to have some bed rest and hot Piper Pepper Tonic. He had taken it once during his 6th year and had ended with a sore smoking throat for a month.
He fell to the bed and closed his eyes briefly, but stopped. So, he was screwed for the time being. Why in the world had he told his real name to Dumbledore?
There was a knock and Harry snarled, "Be quick!"
Minerva entered looking very much offended. He figured that she'd never experienced a professor in a bad mood. But perfect timing, he could Obliviate her then and there. But let's see what she wants first.
"What do you want?" snapped Harry, conjuring a cup of water.
She suddenly looked nervous and said, "Mr. Potter, I have been informed by the headmaster that you will be teaching DADA this year. I have also been informed that-."
"Get to the point!" he growled.
She blushed. "Of course. Your teaching session will start tomorrow. Your first students are the seventh year Gryffindors and Ravenclaws. Here is your schedule for the rest of the week." She said, handing him a schedule.
"Thank you. Now, I have a question to ask you. How much do you know about me?" asked Harry rather calmly.
Minerva looked a bit puzzled at this question. "Well, I know your name is Harry Potter and come from the future. Your parents are Lily and James Potter, which I found quite amusing."
As she finished, Harry whisked out his wand and cried, "Obliviate!"
She suddenly looked a bit dazed. "Oh, where am I? And you are the new DADA teacher? Am I right?"
Harry nodded. "I'm Harry Granger. I will be filling in the DADA teacher. I've informed all about it." He said smoothly.
Minerva nodded as well and said, "Very well. I'll be going then." With that, she left the room, looking a bit puzzled.
Harry sighed in relief. One down, a million to go. Dumbledore, and the Marauders. Marauders. That meant he had to Obliviate his dad. He couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. Well, no use being a softy. He was stuck here, so he might as well make the best of it.
He quickly got up and decided that maybe it was now Dumbledores turn to get Obliviated. It'd be hard, but simple enough.
Harry flicked his wrists. Hmm. Maybe a bit rusty for not doing wandless magic for a while, but it'd hold. So long as he uses it enough, there was no problem.
He quickly made his way to Dumbledore's office. And to his good luck (or bad), he met Remus and Peter walking together in the halls, chatting lightly.
When they caught sight of him, they quickly stopped, and muttered "Hello Mr. Potter."
Harry stopped. A perfect chance. He quickly formed a smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Lupin and Mr. Pettigrew."
And before they realized what had happened, Harry had flicked his wrists silently, leaving a dazed Remus and Peter standing there.
"Hi, Mister. Who are you?" Remus asked hazily.
Harry forced a smile. "Hello, I'm the new Defense professor, Harry Granger. Nice to meet you."
Remus and Peter nodded and after introducing them, walked away, chatting normally, if not a little puzzled.
Harry sighed. Dumbledore, Sirius and James were left. The trickiest ones. He sighed again.
After reaching the Gargoyle, he stared blankly at the Gargoyle before saying uncertainly, "Damn you already?"
The Gargoyle stayed still; Harry cursed as he tried in vain to think up of the password.
"Jelly Beans? Lemon Drops? Drops?" He tried, but it stayed rock (not that it wasn't a rock) still.
Then, a thought struck him. Why didn't he use his damn magic to open it? It was a simple thing, and he, being the Minister of Magic, hadn't even thought of it. A shame.
He flicked his wand (he wanted to preserve his wandless magic) as the Gargoyle sprang open.
Knocking on the door before entering, Harry found Dumbledore stroking Fawkes.
"Why, hello, out future Minister." Dumbledore said, looking surprised.
He nodded grimily. "We have a few things to discuss."
Suddenly, there was a flash and Dumbledore was sitting on his chair looking quite dazed. Fawkes looked extremely surprised and freaked.
Harry turned to Fawkes and winked as he placed a finger on his lips. "Shhh, Fawkes, we don't want our dear old headmaster surprised then necessary, do we?"
Fawkes, knowing she could trust this stranger fully, nodded and perched on the headmasters shoulder.
Dumbledore quickly came out of his daze.
"And who are you?" He asked, fixing his glasses and standing up.
"I am Harry Granger, I would like to apply for the Defense spot. It is open, I presume?" Harry asked trying his best to sound innocent.
Dumbledore looked overjoyed. "Of course! We were almost thinking of closing it down, but now we have a teacher. Will you be ready to teach from tomorrow?"
Harry nodded. "Yes, I know my way through the castle odd enough, so I won't need any help. I shall go get ready now. I know where I'll stay, too."
With that, Harry quickly swept away, leaving an awed Dumbledore.
*********************************************************************
"Hey Mr. Mysterious Guy,"
Harry turned around to find a smirking Sirius.
"Oh, Mr. Black. Just the person I was looking for."
Sirius looked quizzical. "Me?"
There was a blinding flash (yet again) and Sirius had no memory of 'mysterious guy'.
Harry sighed tiredly, but there was a gasp from the shadows.
He whirled around, just in time to see James disappear into the shadows.
*********************************************
James gasped as he slid into the Gryffindor common room.
"Remus! Peter! That Harry Potter, he Obliviated Sirius!" James panted.
Remus and Peter both turned around and stared at James, puzzled. "Harry Potter? Do we know him?"
James gaped at them. That scum had already Obliviated Remus and Peter! "Why, I otta-"
"Potter, some people are trying to study here." A cold voice came from behind.
James quickly faced towards Lily and yelled at her face, "THAT SCUM JUST OBLIVIATED SIRIUS AND REMUS AND PETER! HE'LL COME FOR ME NEXT! AND YOU EXPECT ME TO BE -CALM-?"
This time Remus and Peter gaped at him. "Someone Obliviated us?"
Lily frowned. "5 points from Gryffindor for yelling at the Head Girl." She said and stalked away, leaving an absolutely fuming James.
"Oh, never mind. I'll go find Sirius." James declared at ran out of the common room.
James was running through the corridors, hopping desperately that Sirius was ok. He turned a corner, when he almost bumped into someone.
"Sorry, sir-" he stopped when he was who it was.
"Harry Potter." He hissed, as he backed away and reached for his wand.
Harry held out a hand. "Hey, don't treat me like old Voldie. I just want to talk to you, about that, er, incident you just saw."
James backed away. "There's no use, Potter. I'm turning you in!"
"Well, at least listen to my story, will you? At my office, I hope."
James glared at him. "Is this a trap?"
"No, no, why would I want to get you anyway?"
"You-Know-Who's followers?"
Harry snickered. "Like I'm a deatheater. If I was, Voldie would be driven insane by now."
James gawked at him. "Voldie?"
Harry smirked and nodded. "Yup, dear old Voldie. Too bad he doesn't have much of a sense of humor. A pity."
"You-Know-Who, have a sense of humor? Are you insane?"
"Partly. But not much." Harry answered, snickering.
Harry straightened himself. "Let's get on to our discussion. Obliviating the boys were absolutely necessary. I am a living that doesn't belong here, and my name is not to be remembered. But I won't Obliviate you, no."
James looked at him suspiciously. "How can I trust you?"
"Well, just trust your guts. Just don't tell anybody that I'm Harry Potter. I'm Harry Granger here. I'll be off soon, anyway."
Harry stepped side ways and walked back. "Oh, and call me Harry when were alone."
James stared at Harry's back until he disappeared.
