Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
A/N: I apologize in advance for any inaccuracies. By the way, can anyone tell me when does the troll event occur? After the trio discover about Nicholas Flamel or something? Also, when was Harry doing in the library under his invisibility robes anyway? I also can't remember any of the relationships at that point, so please forgive me, and email me about mistakes.

Harry's eyes snapped open, and he woke up. He looked between his hangings to see the suns rays streaming in.
"Guess its morning already," thought Harry.
Just to double check that his power wasn't really fake; he closed his eyes and willed the screen to appear. Of course, it didn't appear. Instead, the option to turn it on appeared.
Harry turned it on and saved, as he had resolved to do last night. Or the night before the last if he would be to get technical. Oh heck it. Harry couldn't very well keep track of time from now on, especially if he were to be repeating days thousands and thousands of times, so he decided that for his prolonged sanity, time would be relative to the time he loaded to.
"Well… today is the day I really put these powers to the test… I hope they don't fail me at an embarrassing moment… it would suck big time if I tried to turn back time after killing Malfoy or something but couldn't…"
Harry put on his robes and went down to breakfast, but he noticed that he had woken up particularly late today. The rest of the boys had already gone to breakfast without him. So he picked up his pace and headed extra quick towards the great hall.
As he entered the great hall, Ron waved to him, indicating their positions. Harry moved over to them and sat down next to Hermione. Harry wondered for a moment whether he should tell his friends about his mysterious powers, but decided not to, because they wouldn't remember a thing anyway, if he loaded to a time before he told them. He decided that maybe he'll tell them after he made an important save.
Funny that, after extreme denial the previous night, all of Harry's thoughts patterns were now attuned towards his new powers, even though they hadn't played any important role yet.
As he had his breakfast, Malfoy and his cronies made their daily rounds over from the Slytherin table to crack lame jokes and make stale insults at the expense of the trio.
Harry decided that it was time to test his powers. He stood up, and with a little hesitation cursed the leader of the gang, Malfoy, before he could speak a word.
"Petrificus Totalus!" Squeaked Harry. Pardon him if he was a bit nervous cursing someone for the first time in front of the entire great hall. As the blonde became stiff as a board and toppled over backwards from the "push' of the spell, the entire hall went silent. Ron was stuck with his mouth open, showing his half chewed bacon and eggs, and his eyes in awe. Hermione was simply slack jawed. Harry presumed that the rest of the hall was in similar states of confusion.
He turned towards the head table, and an angry voice traveled towards him. "HARRY POTTER! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS! 100 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR FOR CURSING A FELLOW STUDENT UNPROVOKED!" No cookies awarded to whoever identifies the speaker correctly.
Harry blanched. "Crap, should have let him provoke me first… oh well, I'm going to escape anyway."
Harry glanced at Snape's greasy visage for a moment, before he closed his eyes and called up the menu.

Harry opened his eyes, half expecting to see an outrage Snape right in his face and the rest of the great hall trying to hold in their laughs at the stupid expression he had to assume when calling up the menu.
Instead, what he saw was… the first year Gryffindor male dormitory. Harry pumped his fist. "BOOYAH! Good stuff, this power. I had no idea cursing Malfoy could be so fun! All those times I had to hold back… IF ONLY I HAD THIS POWER EARLIER!" After a few moments of crowing over his own coolness, where he had shouted things like "Harry, you're the man!", Harry thought back to the incident at the breakfast table.
"Ok, so old greasy hypocritical Snape said I attack without provocation eh? Lets see what happens if its Draco who starts it. I'll let him speak before I curse him…" Strangely, after his success with his powers, Harry's attitude suddenly became quite cocky…
Harry put on his daily wear and went down to breakfast. Again. "Hmm… I can see how these actions can get repetitive…"
Again, Ron waved at him, so Harry made his way over, but he sat down next to Ron this time. He tried to have some breakfast, but found that he wasn't hungry at all. "Well, looks like any nourishment follows me…" As a result, Harry ate very little, and much of his time was spent swirling his food around as he waited for Malfoy to come barking. Hermione noticed his restlessness, and had part of the sentence "Harry, what's the pro…" out when Malfoy showed up.
Harry grinned as he saw Malfoy approach. Oh, what fun he could have once he learned the better curses!
"So… Potter's found himself a new girlfriend… yet what a pity… its that ugly mudblood know-it-all. Surely you can do better than…" Draco didn't get to finish, because Harry stood up and screamed "PETRIFICOUS TOTALUS!" right into his face. His wand followed up on his command, and this time Malfoy didn't just topple over; instead, he was sent flying back right into some unlucky Ravenclaws who had chosen the wrong time to come down to breakfast.
As expected, Snape's angry shout traveled over. "HARRY POTTER! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS! 100 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR FOR ATTACKING ANOTHER STUDENT!"
"Sucker. I knew he didn't care for what reasons he deducted points from Gryffindor." Thought Harry casually.
Harry wanted to send a spell into Snape's face, but decided not to, for the teacher could probably defend himself well enough against it. Snape might even decide to attack, which wouldn't be good for him, for he might not be able to handle whatever Snape sent at him.
Therefore, Harry loaded his save file… and his consciousness disappeared.
