Chapter 3

Starting Over

Harry woke with a start, and it took him a moment to gather his surroundings. He took in the old owl cage, the small bed, the small desk, the confining feeling of the room, and finally the locks on the door. It had worked; he rose from bed and began packing his trunk hurriedly. The moment he finishes he heard a burst of flame behind him. Without turning from the final stages of packing Harry spoke to the new arrival, "Hello old friend it has been a long time since we last saw each other."

After a moment of silence and as Harry turned to face the wizened old wizard who clearly had a look of astonishment on his face at appearing in Harry's bedroom at this late hour "I do not understand Harry you speak as if it has been many years since we last spoke. But in fact it has only been a few weeks."

Harry's response clearly shocked Dumbledore "It has in fact been 43 years Albus, I found a rather useful book in your library, the title was Can You Spare The Time."

For the first time in his life Albus Dumbledore did not know what to say and stood staring at Harry as if he was growing a second head.

"But that is a tail for a more secure location. Right now I believe it would be prudent to leave this place. The blood magic no longer works as my true age far exceeds 17."

"Very well Harry, where would you like to go?" Dumbledore said, Harry could tell that the old wizard was still reeling from Harry's proclomation elsewise Harry was certian that Dumbledore would had asked they go immediatily to Hogwarts.

"Hogwarts for now but first I need to speak with Fawkes," shocking Dumbledore again Harry turned to the regal bird that appeared to be having a talk with Hedwig Harry made a flicking motion with his hand and Hedwig' s Cage opened. "Meet me at Hogwarts girl I'll be there directly." then turning once again to Fawkes. "Have you located him?" Fawkes trilled an answer and nodded, "good take us to him." Turning and shrinking his old trunk Harry pocketed it and motioned for Dumbledore to grab Fawkes' tail feathers. In a flash of flame Harry Potter left number 4 Privet Drive for the last time, for the second time in his life.

They appeared in a wooded area nearby a large black dog was sleeping on the ground before them.

Harry walked over and nudged the dog awake. "Get up Padfoot! It's time to clear your name with those that matter most."

Dumbledore watched with more curiosity than he could remember having in ages he was practically giddy. Until he saw the dog begin to change shape and assume the form of Sirius Black. "Get behind me Harry". He shouted. But, before he could move he found himself in a full body bind levitated off the ground, as was Sirius.

"Sirius Black, meet Albus Dumbledore Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Albus Dumbledore, meet Sirius Black my godfather and innocent man sent to Azkaban."

Dumbledore shook off the shock quickly and gave Harry a stern look. "Are you absolutely certain Harry?"

Harry's only response was to smirk at Albus and raise his left eyebrow.

"Right, my apologies to you Harry and you Sirius."

Dumbledore felt the body bind lifted and his body being lowered to the ground and noticed that Sirius was on the ground as well. Sirius stared at Harry opening his mouth to begin to say something, but Harry waved him off, "This is not the time or place for questions or answers. We should leave the area quickly." He motioned to Fawkes.

The three men grabbed the phoenix's tail feathers and were gone in a flash of flame. They arrived in Dumbledore's office at Hogwarts. Once there, Harry put up a hand to stop all questions. He cast cleansing and purification charms on Sirius and pulled out his two trunks and enlarged them. The old one he emptied into a bag, which he burned. He opened his new trunk and pulled out a large bag of clothing, three full vial racks of potions, and another bag containing books and weapons. He handed the two bags to Sirius and suggested he change clothing.

While he and Dumbledore waited Harry took off his glasses and began taking the potions.

"Harry if you don't mind my asking what are those potions you are taking?" Dumbledore asked politely.

Harry downed the third potion and made a face. "Improvements I did to myself over the years. Memory modification, strength enhancement, improved endurance improved agility, corrective eyesight, improved eyesight, and these four will give my eyes the same abilities as Mad Eye's magical eye and I will be able to turn them on and off."

"Why would you take such dangerous potions?"

"These aren't the potions you remember Albus, these are mine I became quite the potions expert, and since I refused to undergo the rituals that Tom did to enhance himself, I had to find other way to achieve it, without these I never would have beaten him."

"So he does return and you do defeat him."

"Yes and sort of."

"I don't think I am going to like the explanation behind that answer am I?"

"No you aren't, Sirius is coming, its time I explain things." He finished the last potion on the rack and placed it back in the trunk. Harry placed one of the racks of potions on Dumbledore' s desk and another he left on the table. After that he settled into a chair as Sirius entered the room looking and smelling much better.

Before Sirius could open his mouth Harry began speaking again. "Alright come in and sit down, I will explain everything to both of you. I'll leave it to you two to explain the situation to Remus when he arrives. But I think that should be all who knows the truth for now. All I ask is that you not interrupt me, and I will allow one question now and any you have once I finish."

Dumbledore spoke first, "who are these potion racks for and are they the same as yours?

"That one of for the Ministry of Magic tell them you made the potion I'll get you notes later it is for them to study, this one if for Remus, and no they are not the same as mine they are a cure for Lycanthropcy."

"You mean a 13 year old boy discovered the cure for werewolves?" Sirius blurted out.

Harry smiled at Sirius "that's your one question Padfoot," this brought a vicious scowl for the man, "and no, not just werewolves, all lycans even the rare ones. But its not a cure totally they still can have the transformations. Only know they control when they happen and what they do during them. For instance when Moony takes the potions after he has finished them he can if he wishes never turn again or turn at will say around noon one day during a battle with the death eaters. Basically what the potions do is kill the beast inside them they still have the benefits, enhanced senses, strenght, and agility but they no longer loose control once a month. Although when they do transform on the full moon they are more powerful."

"How..."

Harry raised his hand and stopped him. "I said one question now everything will be explained, I promise. Its time I got started or else we well be here till school starts."

They spent the hours till dawn and after listening to Harry speak. He told the stories of his last five years at school and the years that followed all the way up to the day he performed the ritual. When he finished Dumbledore asked if Harry had any pepper up potions. To which Harry said he had something better and produced coffee for the men explaining it was just as good if brewed right and far less addictive.

After sipping at his cup in silence Dumbledore smiled his eyes twinkling and spoke again. "So you are saying the world would have been destroyed despite you defeating Tom unless you came back to this time to change events?"

"Yes in a manner of speaking I didn't really beat him in that time line, he won by default. As I said we researched for years trying to find the ritual Tom did with no success. Finally I had the idea about going back in time and changing what happened but I had to figure out how far to go. Just a few years, and stop the ritual? Great for the current situation but I would still be miserable and alone. All the way back and save my parents? Too risky it might change the prophecy. Besides Sirius how would you react to me being barely a year old and telling you that Peter would betray you and I was from the future?" The question earned a snort from Sirius, which Harry ignored and continued. "So I settled for coming back to this year which is technically when everything began to go wrong for us. This year was the turning point for us since we lost Peter before he could testify. Sirius was trapped and had to stay hidden. Unable to operate freely he felt he was more of a burden than a help to the Order. Plus he felt he couldn't do anything to help me. That is what I believe led to his rash actions at the Ministry and his death."

Sirius interrupted at that point, "Stop talking about me like I am not here, besides I know about that now I'll be more careful when dueling Bella this time... err am I the only one that sounded weird to since it hasn't happened yet?"

As Dumbledore shook his head he spoke, "The two of us, Remus, and anyone else Harry decides to bring in on this secret are going to have to get used to talking about future events in the past tense."

Harry looked down at his watch and smiled then without realizing he was speaking out loud said "Well avoided that one fairly easily." looking up he caught the curious stares from Sirius and Dumbledore. "Oh the first time around about this time I would be meeting Aunt Marge at the door. Tomorrow I would have performed a bit of accidental magic to turn her into a balloon, ran away on the Knight bus, and see Sirius who scared the shit out of me in his dog form right before I got on. Sorry I kind of forgot to mention that."

Sirius began to howl with laughter. Dumbledore just smiled and the twinkle in his eye seem to brighten, "Well no harm in avoiding trouble with the Ministry. I suppose the two of you would like to get to bed, I have a few things to do today, but I think I can manage a small nap before I start."

"Actually Albus I need far less sleep than I used, to years of staying up all night hunting death eaters, watching for attacks, or researching. I would like to get a jump on the Horcruxes, or do you think we should wait until he returns before we begin that?"

"Let me ask you this Harry, how did you plan on defeating him this time?" was Dumbledore's response.

"Well I thought we would get a recorded, witnessed confession from Pettigrew, then he would escape, in a manner of speaking, so that he could aid in his master's return. Then we let the fake Moody get me in the Tri Wizard Tournament, I win it and after he comes back I duel him and whip him soundly making me his number one concern. After that it is up in the air, I have certain things I would like to accomplish before defeating him totally, but it is going to be risky. I need him to be a threat for a while if we want to bring the changes in the wizarding world that I saw the first time around."

"I see several flaws in your plan, it is risky I think you are playing with fire using Tom that way but, your knowledge of what is going to happen could facilitate our war effort. What are we going to do if something goes wrong?"

"Then we move on to Plan B."

"What is Plan B?" Sirius asked.

"I'll let you know when I have made it up." Harry said with a smirk. "Right now everything is going as I planned. I have to be careful though, seeing the others is going to be difficult especially Ginny..." Harry's voice trailed off at this point. He hadn't told them what had happened to her only that she was killed. He also had left out his role in Draco's death. They don't need to know every little thing that happened. He told himself but he also reasoned that this was no small thing. Ginny and Sirius' death are what had driven him to travel this far back in time. He had to succeed. There was no other option. But without the threat of Tom for so many years how were they going to bring about the reforms that came about because of the war. It a hard decision to make, but Harry had made it. It was done, no use worrying over it now. Sirius yawned and the three of them agreed it was time to end the meeting. Harry gathered up the few things he had pulled out of his trunk except what he was leaving for the Ministry and Remus. He pulled out the notes on the potion for Dumbledore laying them on the desk next to the potions. He then put the two bags he had given Sirius into his old trunk, which Sirius shrunk and pocketed while Harry did the same to his. Sirius then changed into Padfoot and trotted after Harry to the Gryffindor common room where Harry would be staying for the summer. Harry said the password Dumbledore had given him and the two went in and settled down. Sirius stayed as Padfoot and curled up next to the fire to sleep while Harry took a book from his trunk to read.

So far so good, he thought, usually that is when the shit hits the fan though, I'll have to be careful and watch things from now on I have already changed things."
