Blast to the Past
Harry sat at his usual desk in the Potions classroom, sweating over his hot cauldron as he brewed the Draught of the Living Dead.
The year was almost over, and Harry was dreading having to leave Hogwarts forever. It was his seventh an final year at Hogwarts, and soon he would be out in the world, looking for a job.
"Today's lesson is now over. Please collect a small amount of your potion into a flask, and then bring it here to be graded." drawled Snape, the Potion's master, and Harry's least favorite teacher.
When they exited the classroom, Harry suggested they go for a walk before Transfiguration, and surprisingly to his relief, his best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, agreed to accompany him.
Harry did not know why he suddenly had an urge to take a walk, and much to his and his friends' surprise, he started walking towards for the Forbidden Forest, and entered.
Ronan, one of the few centaurs in the forest suddenly appeared and approached them.
"The stars informed me that you would be visiting soon, Harry Potter." Bane started, "They gave me a mission. All three of you may go to complete it. I trust Potter that if you could remember your parents, you would miss them dearly?"
Harry nodded, confused, and remembered many of the photos he had seen of them. That was as good as he thought he would ever know them.
"Take this," Ronan continued, handing them a Time-Turner, "Go back 16 years, one turn will take you back a year, open the truth and save your parents. Then, by spinning the dial counter-clockwise, return."
Slowly, Harry put the chain around Ron, Hermione, and his necks. Cautiously he turned the dial 16 times.
A dizzy feeling overcame the trio, and then, as suddenly as it started, stopped.
