All right, here's AFB4. Hope you understand some of this. And just to say up front this will not have any relationships in it hopefully, maybe minor pairings that won't be of any real importance. This is going to be a short chapter, relatively speaking, heh heh sorry.
PLEASE READ: Also I made a mistake; Harry is going to have to be 16 in this and starting sixth year. Ugh, sorry
Disclaimer: I don't own any of this except the plot

Harry felt the warm rush of the castle's love for him and felt reassured. He had been very hesitant about this venture, but he thought it'd be okay. Sort of.
The first memory that flashed through his mind was one of when he was first sorted. The people around him seemed suspicious and a little bit frightened. He did not understand this because as he saw it he was still just the scrawny little kid that the Dursleys had made him. The memory Harry wobbled up to the stool on shaky legs and the hat was dropped over his head. Five minutes later, the hat, again, called out 'Gyffindor!' There were a lot of surprised looks at this. Memory Harry went and sat down by Hermione, she scooted two seats away from him.
FLASH
Memory Harry was being taunted by Seamus, Dean and Ron and Neville came to his rescue. Memory Harry shot him a worshipful look.
FLASH
Memory Harry was sitting in Potions; Snape called on him. He answered tentatively and Snape shot him a loathing look, "Correct Potter," he said coldly.
FLASH
Memory Harry went through several classes like that, he was an all around scholar apparently, but he was rarely called on. Hermione was featured on several of these memories. Memory Harry had a crush on her. Harry nearly gagged at this; Hermione was like his sister.
FLASH
He was down in the chamber where he had met Quirell. Neville took him on while Memory Harry looked on in awe.
FLASH
Second year, Memory Harry watched as Neville and Ron came bursting in,late to the Welcoming Feast. He found out later thatFrank Longbottom explained what had happened. Neville and Ron were off the hook.
FLASH
Memory Harry watched as Lockhart performed various scenes with Neville. Both Harry's were disgusted at it being enacted.
FLASH
Memory Harry was sitting in front of Snape and Dumbledore in Dumbledore's office. Dumbledore spoke, "Are you sure you are not part of these attacks Harry?" He gave Memory Harry a stern look.
"No sir. But I did find a diary in the common room that had blank pages in it, I think it is linked to the attacks on Justin and those Prefects sir."
"Anything else?"
"Headmaster, really, is this necessary? You know what he is being called around the school." Severus sneered at Memory Harry. Both Harry's felt a surge of loathing toward the man.
"Severus, I seem to recall that you had the same problem. Please be a bit open minded. Now Harry, anything else you would like to add?"
Memory Harry cleared his throat hesitantly, "I don't like besmirching Light Families, but sir, I see a lot and I think Ginny Weasley is behind the attacks. I saw her paint the warning by Moaning Myrtle's bathroom."
FLASH
Memory Harry watches in horror as a humongous snake comes slithering out of an opening in the Chamber of Secrets.
16-year -old Tom Riddle gives a cruel laugh, "You aren't Neville Longbottom, but you will do very nicely." He hisses something at the snake that Memory Harry cannot understand.
He is seconds from death when Neville comes bursting through the chamber door.
"Harry what are you doing here?"
"Followed Ginny, she hissed something at those snakes back there. You?"
"Parseltongue, works wonders even if it is Dark Magic."
He battles Riddle and saves Ginny.
FLASH
Third year Memory Harry watches as the Golden Trio come in late. They sit a few seats down from him. He is ecstatic when Neville talks to him for more than ten minutes about Herbology.
FLASH
Memory Harry watches in fascination as a big black dog morphs into a man.
"Found you Harry. Dumbledore can't let you get away from me this time."
FLASH
Memory Harry jumps for joy when he realizes he never has to go back to the Dursleys. He was safe with Sirius no matter what Dumbledore did.
FLASH
Memory Harry is horrified to see a big wolf like man attack Neville. He jumps to defend himand is flattened by Draco who tries to stop him and Neville. Harry doesn't know why. The wolf comes at Draco and Neville again, they won't be able to get away this time. Memory Harry shouts the first thing on his mind' "Protego! Expelliarmus! Stupefy! Stupefy!"
The wolf falls; Neville and Draco turn to him gratefully.
"Thanks Potter, now I don't have to shadow Neville to fulfill my Life Debt."
Neville shoots Draco a filthy look, "Thanks Harry, I appreciate it, unlike Malfoy here. Memory Harry is delighted. Maybe he and Neville are actual friends!
FLASH
Fourth year Memory Harry is astonished to find out that the legendary Triwizard Tournament would be held at Hogwarts that year. He overhears the Weasley twins talking about it and snorts softly. Dumbledore would be to smart to be fooled by an aging potion, but if it worked…
FLASH
Both Harry's watch in amusement as Fred and George grow beards. Memory Harry experiences a flash of jealousy as he finds Krum looking to long at Hermione.
"Staring isn't polite," he snaps and Krum looks at him.
Krum smirks, "I see I haf competition? No matter, I vill vin the lady's hand, don't doubt it."
FLASH
Draco slings and arm around Memory Harry and chuckles, "Well Harry, now that I can see what you can do, why don't you follow in your parent's footsteps and join me and the rest of the Slytherins at the Dark Lord's side?"
Harry is numb with shock as he sees the result of his anger. Krum is unrecognizable. He knew he didn't do this, but who did?
He steps out from beneath Malfoy's arm and says in a cold, high voice filled with cruelty that frightens him, "I appreciate the offer Malfoy, but I've got a better one. He turns his head to the side and looks at Malfoy, "Want to be next?"
FLASH
Dumbledore looked at Harry in confusion, "And you say this voice was not yours? Well who else's could it be? We know you didn't harm Mr. Krum, if that is what you are worried about, but that was your voice, that was your armor. Use it wisely."
Harry stared at him in fear, "Sir?"
Dumbledore leaned back in his chair, "I've got a proposition for you Harry, how do you like spying as a profession?"
FLASH
Memory Harry watches as Neville appears after the third task with Cedric Diggory's body. Then he figures it out. Voldemort is back, it was time for Harry to enact the second part of his plan.
FLASH
Fifth year, Memory Harry listens in confusion as the Sorting Hat sings its song. Unite hmm? He noticed that Frank Longbottom had taken over DADA. How interesting. He looked up at Dumbledore and took his queue. He would let the Slytherins know that he was on their side, tonight.
FLASH
Memory Harry walked back to his dorm from an exhausting Death Eater meeting. He had been initiated over the summer; Sirius wasthe only one who knew what his real role was. Sirius disapproved, but it suited Harry's personality to be what he was. Draco suddenly appeared from the shadows.
"Well, I guess the rumors were true Potter, you are one of us. Welcome to the fold. Let's have a little fun sometime, yes?"
Harry put on his dutiful sneer, "Really Draco, do grow up. I'm not a high-ranking Death Eater for nothing. You want some fun? Talk to Snape."
Draco smirked, "High-ranking? Bullshit. There's no way you could be that high up, you only got initiated over the summer. I'm still waiting until the end of school, because of my father. Dumbledore knows you know, he won't let it out of course, he's going to make you squirm," his voice grew ugly, "And I'll love watching it." He cocked his head thoughtfully, "Yet you don't seem to care."
Harry raised an eyebrow and answered with one of his own smirks that he knew made him look dangerous, "High expectations and blood go a long way Draco, you should know that yourself. Have a nice night." Harry disappeared into the shadows.
FLASH
Harry watched as Lucius taunted Neville, Hermione, Ron, Luna, and Ginny through the eye slits of his mask. This was his first major mission and he had to look good in front of the others.
FLASH
SHIT! He had screwed up; Lucius narrowed his eyes through his mask. Lucius had figured it out, now it was just a matter of time before he was tried for traitor. Perhaps he could postpone the inevitable. Just then, what he knew as the Order of the Phoenix came bursting through the door. They could handle it, thank God; he was out of there.
END
Harry gasped as he was thrown out of the past. So that was what had happened, well at least he knew. He still didn't understand why Draco didn't remember third year, but maybe that was just Draco being Draco.
He groaned and thanked the castle. She returned it with a brush of affection across his mind. She recognized what he was doing in this dimension and appreciated it. Well, at least someone did. Now he just had to figure out his story. Damn. This hero thing was so overrated.
---------/
Okay, so it was longer than I thought. But yeah, Harry will be 16 and starting sixth year. So sorry for the confusion. I still have to go back and change it but I don't know how…if someone could tell me I'd really appreciate it.
Ciao!
