Harry Potter Fanfiction

Disclaimer: Harry Potter belongs to JK Rowling.

Summary: Santeria wrote a fan fiction called Consequences in which Hermione went back in time and killed Tom Riddle and we found out what the consequences of her actions were. I'm going to do the same with Harry Potter and Peter Pettigrew.

Chapter 1

The Death Eaters had chased Harry into a room full of time turners. He was now separated from his friends and holding the prophecy behind his back with his left hand while trying to stupefy Death Eaters with his wand.

"Impedimenta"

Harry was blasted backwards into the time turners, some of which shattered all over him, glass and sand embedding in him. The prophecy smashed over him immediately but the Death Eaters were too distracted to pay attention to the figure that rose out of the smashed prophecy, especially as Harry took that moment to disappear.

16th October 1975

Remus Lupin was sitting in the common room, doing his Transfiguration homework. He would soon need to patrol the corridors with Lily. James and Sirius were both currently in detention. Peter Pettigrew came running down the staircase from the boy's dorm and shook Remus's shoulder.

"Remus is James back from detention yet?"

"No Peter". Remus looked up puzzled. "What is it?"

"I think there's a stranger in our dorm. He's lying unconscious on Sirius's bed. I thought at first it was James but then I remembered he had detention so I thought I'd better ask you."

Remus followed Peter upstairs. He was right. A boy who looked like the mirror image of James was lying face down on Sirius's bed. His werewolf senses picked up blood but if this boy had cut himself it must be on the chest or stomach and it couldn't be serious as there was no blood pouring out of him. Remus didn't want to risk turning the boy over in case he aggravated his injuries. Besides he was unconscious anyway.

"Keep an eye on him Peter. I need to patrol with Lily. Let's wait until James and Sirius get back and then decide what to do."

Peter agreed.

Harry opened his eyes, puzzled. He had glass shards and sand embedded in him and was bleeding which meant his immediate thought that his disastrous journey to the ministry had been a dream was proven wrong. Maybe Dumbledore had sent him back via portkey while he was unconscious but then why had he landed in the dormitory rather than the hospital wing? Had Sirius really…?

Tears cascaded down Harry's cheeks as he lay on his front. Peter sat in a chair watching him unsure what to do.

"The mirror" Harry gasped. Peter raised an eyebrow.

Maybe he could contact Sirius. The mirror was still in his trunk. Not caring about his injuries he forced himself up off the bed and his eyes fell on Peter.

"You…."

Before Peter could say anything, Harry had pinned him to the wall, his hands round his throat.

"You traitorous rat. Everyone I love is dead because of you. Sirius was on the run because you framed him. If it wasn't for you, he wouldn't even have been at the ministry. He wouldn't have died."

Peter struggled but Harry was too strong for him. Harry continued to strangle Peter, driven by a reckless, heartbroken rage. By the time he came to his senses, Peter was lying in his arms with his eyes shut. Harry threw him onto the floor and collapsed near the wall, staring into space with a glazed look.

Sirius and James walked into the common rom together. James had been cleaning the trophy room and Sirius had been helping Professor Slughorn sort and label potion ingredients.

"Moony and Lily still patrolling?"

"Yeah. Blimey I'm tired. Peter's probably already asleep. Let's go up. Moony will join us when he's finished his patrols".

Sirius and James stopped dead at the sight that met their eyes. A James lookalike was sitting collapsed against the wall, staring into space and Peter was lying with his eyes closed on the floor.

Swiftly James went over to Peter and Sirius went over to the James lookalike.

"Looks like he's in shock. Woah mate he looks exactly like you."

Sirius's voice seemed to trigger something in the lookalike who shot out a hand, and grabbed Sirius's wrist, Sirius was too stunned to speak. The silence was broken by James.

"Padfoot he's dead".

"What?" asked Sirius stupidly. "No he isn't. He's holding my wrist".

"Not my double, Peter".

"What?" Sirius looked up sharply. He made to move across to Peter but the James lookalike tightened his hold on Sirius's wrist and pulled Sirius down next to him.

"Don't leave me" the double muttered. "I'll never let you leave me again".

Sirius hesitated but continued to sit next to him.

"Prongs do something".

James took out his wand and stunned his double who slumped unconscious. Sirius pulled his wrist free from his grasp and went to look at Peter.

"I couldn't find a pulse" James said sadly. Sirius put two fingers on Peter's neck and shook his head.

"How…?"

"I think that guy strangled him" James pointed at his unconscious double. "That's why I stunned him. I didn't want him to hurt you too."

"But why?" Sirius was bewildered. "Who would want to kill Peter?"

James swiftly lifted the stranger's left sleeve.

"Well he doesn't have the Dark Mark."

"Guys what are you still doing up?" Remus had returned.

"We found a stranger in our dorm. We think he strangled Peter."

Remus looked stricken. "It's my fault. Peter told me there was an unknown boy in the dorm but I had my patrols and he was lying on Sirius's bed unconscious. I told Peter to keep an eye on him. We were going to wait until you guys got back from detention. I didn't think he would hurt Peter".

James squeezed Remus's shoulder. "It wasn't your fault Moony. You couldn't have known what would happen".

Remus took a deep breath. "James levitate Peter to the hospital wing. I'll levitate the stranger. He's stunned anyway and I have my werewolf strength to help me. Sirius go and fetch Dumbledore".

Madam Pomfrey was shocked to see two of the Marauders levitating Peter and a stranger. Remus and James explained what had happened. Madam Pomfrey reluctantly declared Peter dead. She kept the James lookalike unconscious but healed and cleaned his cuts. Professors Dumbledore and Slughorn soon arrived followed by Sirius.

"Please sit down you three" Dumbledore told James, Sirius and Remus. They obeyed at once.

"Horace you have the potion?"

Slughorn nodded. He opened the stranger's mouth and poured three drops inside. Then Dumbledore revived him.

"What is your name?"

"Harry James Potter".

James started.

"Are you a Death Eater?"

"No"

"Are you in any way affiliated with Lord Voldemort?"

"No"

The three Marauders heaved a sigh of relief.

"Why did you murder Peter Pettigrew?"

"He's a traitorous bastard. He betrayed my parents' whereabouts to Lord Voldemort, framed my innocent godfather for murder, killed my classmate on Lord Voldemort's orders and helped return Lord Voldemort to his body."

There was a stunned silence at this pronouncement.

"Who are your parents?"

"James Potter and Lily Evans"

"But that's impossible" burst out James. Dumbledore raised a hand and James fell silent.

"How did you get here?"

"Me and my friends were fighting Death Eaters. They chased me into a room full of time turners. One shot an impediment jinx at me which sent me flying into the time turners. I woke up in the boys' dormitory."

"You are from the future?"

"Yes"

Everyone present with the exception of Dumbledore gasped.

"Who is your godfather?"

"Sirius Black".

Sirius inhaled a deep breath.

Dumbledore asked no more questions.

"Poppy give him a dreamless sleep potion and keep him here overnight. You three come with me to my office. We need to decide what to do."
