If I did Harry would have gotten together with any of the other girls but Ginny and Sirius Black would not have died nor Fred and Lupin.

Chapter 1
Last room in the third-floor corridor trap and hiding place for the philosopher's stone,
As he blacks out from fighting Quirrell a soft voice calls out "Don't worry I got you kid!"
The sensation of floating was the first the Harry Potter noticed, the only pain he felt was fading quickly and was centered around the lightning bolt shaped scare on his forehead. Humming softly as he rolled his shoulders and opened his eyes slowly trying to understand where he was.
As Harry looked around, he noticed that the space he was in seemed to be made up of soft colors and a warmth he could only vaguely remember. A soft giggle was heard. "Wow kid you really did a number on that dark idiot." Looking around for where the voice came from Harry didn't feel afraid but curious "hello who are you and where are we?" He asked, just then a small ball of light that kept shifting from a soft blueish white to dark blue came into view.
"Hi, as for who I am I don't really have a name and, as to where we are is in your dream." With a shocked look on his face, he turned around to look "But if this is a dream why is nothing here?" the light circles around his head
"Well when you faced down the dark idiot and his ghostly form went through you it did a few things and I was able to remove something that had been attached to you" there was a pause as if to think about how to explain "Something attached to me!" yelp Harry.
"Yah, it happened the night your mom called on mother magic to help and protect you!" another pause "your mom called on some really old spell and rune work to protect you and I was asked to be the guardian for you but the dark magic that latched onto you made it so thus is the first time I have been able to talk to you. As for why it looks like it does is that now that I have cleared out the dark magic your mind is in a calm state." Harry watched as the ball seemed to dip in sadness.
"So, what happens now? And how were you be able to help me?" With a few flashes the ball bobbed up and down. "Well now we get to have some fun and I will be able to help you once the first quest is done."
"Quest?" Harry asked with his head tilted.
"Yep, you see mother magic and myself and the others are going to set up something that will help you a lot but it should also be fun." While the ball was spinning around in circles Harry was thinking that this has to be the weirdest dream ever but also felt that this was really happening at the same time.
"So, what is this something that is going to help" the ball stops "we are going to make it so that you will be able to live your life like it was a game." Harry looked shocked.
"A game! Like the ones Dudley gets to play all the time!" Harry was excited now.
"Yep, your first quest will be when you wake up and it will be so that we can do something so I will be able to help you better. Now when you do wake you will find your invisibility cloak, keep it with you and the first chance you get you are going to have to put it on, I know you will want to bring others but for this first part you can't." Harry's green eyes focused on the ball of light. "OK but I really want to have a long talk with you when we can."
You have slept in a bed MP and HP have been restored and all status effects have been removed.
A floating screen was the first thing Harry saw upon awaking, the next was the twinkling eyes of his headmaster.
After a confusing and frustrating conversation with the headmaster in which Harry was never really given a straight answer. Harry was able to get out of the Hospital wing and headed to one of the empty classrooms. Once inside he pulled out his invisibility cloak and puts it on.

Yes or no
Looking at the message Harry thinks what the hell and picks yes. In front of his eyes an sparking marker appears in front of him showing the way while what looks like a mini map appears up and to the left of his head. "This is going to take some getting used to!"
While following the sparks he noticed that many students are standing together and whispering as well as some just sitting around and hanging out. Harry also spotted Neville and the other boys from his dorm but had not seen Ron or Hermione yet.
As he got the spot indicated he saw the tapestry and once more thought that wizards are weird. Letting out a sigh Harry went over to the opposite wall and began pacing while muttering
"I need a place to get my guardian! I need a place to get my guardian! I need a place to get my guardian!"
And just then a simple wooden door appeared. "Wow I did not think that would work!"
Reaching for the handle Harry opened the door and walked into the room while pulling off the cloak and closing the door. Once he turned to face the room the first thing he noticed was a wooden stage and several different trunks and boxes some labeled, finished puppets others labeled with different thingS like heads, arms, legs, wigs, ears, tails, and other such things. Then next thing he noticed was the glowing soft blue/white light floating near the stage and once more the soft giggling of a feminine voice.
"Welcome Harry to the Room of Requirements!"
"What do you mean Room of Requirements?" he asked
"This room is meant to be a help to both students and teachers by providing whatever the need. Well other than food. But that's what the house elves provide. This place can help by providing books to read and items to work with as you need them. Provided you ask for the right things!"
Harry blinked at that "How many people know about this room?"
"Not too many, most who find the room will only find it in a configuration that they need and then don't think anything more about it after that!"
"So, first thing to do is go look over by the stage. There should be a large cupboard there with a gold key sticking out of the lock, I need you to open the door and leave it open for now!"
As Harry walked to the stage, he did see the cupboard he was looking for and easily pulled the door open. The inside was empty but there did seem to be shimmering on the walls. "What is it for?"
"That cupboard is known for brining dolls and other things to life, if only for a short time based on the amount of magic of the one who turns the keys once closed! One my other siblings told me a story book was printed about it in the non-magical world at some point!"
Harry spun around with a shocked look in his eyes. "Really that sounds fun and all but why do we need it?"
The ball of light bounced up and down "We are going to use it to help me have a body! The puppets that are made here are all magical and once we make a puppet, I will merge myself into the puppet and once put through the cupboard I will be alive and it will be my own magic that maintains my body. This is one way for those like myself to get a body but we need someone to turn the key for us!"
"Um ok, so how do we start? What should I look for?" He eyed the many boxes and trunks not really sure what was needed first.
"Well, a body is a good place to start something your size would be best; I will be able to change my form to whatever I need as we go so a basic body will do."
With a nod of his head Harry went looking over the trunks and boxes till he found a puppet body that he liked the look of it was female about his size and looked well-made it was also blank. But there was a book in the same trunk and that had the information on what was needed to change the puppet to look as he wanted.
"Why is any of this even here? I did not know that witches and wizards even knew about this kind of thing?"
A soft hum and spin from that light ball came before she answered
"Have you ever heard of the story Pinocchio? Well the story did happen but it was magic users not a fairy that brought him to life. You see magic users used to make and do puppet shows using specials stages and puppets that they made it was once thought to be a highly respected talent because the better and more realistic the puppet shows the more money the magical made and the more happiness they brought." Paused here and bobbed once more. "But as magic user started to hide more and more. The ones who did the shows were forced to stop and it soon became a lost art!" here she sounded sad. "It was a shame as some of the puppets where so well made and loved, that they did come to life for their makers."
At first Harry looked surprised but then he nodded. That did seem to happen to magic a lot, good things became too obvious to those not in the know about magic then it became something to fight over. He set the puppet down then went over to one of the trunks marked for clothing and pulled out a simple white dress and placed it on the puppet. "What color do you want the eyes to be or do you want me to choose?"
"Well Harry I'm going to be your guardian, and I want you to be comfortable with me so I will let you pick but I am partial to blues and some lighter purples."
With a nod and a hum Harry started looking though the book and found what he needed to change the eyes of the puppet from black to one blue and the other a light brown. After he looked through the wigs and found one that was light blue with dark blue at the ends. It was while going through some of the other options that he found what looked like different kind of animal ears one set was that of a fox, one was a cat, one was a rabbit, and a wolf. Touching each of the ear sets Harry tried to think of what he liked best. I never was much of cat person and if she had rabbit ears, I think Hedwig might try to take a bite out of them so fox or wolf! After some thought Harry grabbed the wolf ears and found a tail to go with them and added them to the puppet.
"Wow that is looking really cute and I love the ears!" Was the happy burble coming from the ball
"You know I think you need a name I can't just keep thinking of you as the ball of light." stopping he thought for a moment "How about Aurora?"
There was a pause and flicker from the ball of light before a happy giggle "YES! I love that name thank you Harry!"
While he was looking through the box labeled wigs it became almost impossible to pick out one. Harry couldn't thing of which one to go with till he got to the last in the lot and found a wig that was slightly curly with a color variation that went from white to light blue to dark bule at the tips and knew that this was the one. As he pulled it out, he kept his back to Aurora and quickly put the wig on the puppet before moving aside as showing her what he picked out.
"Oh, wow you found my colors I didn't think a wig with my colors would be in that box. I thought I was going to have to use my magic to get the hair colored the way I wanted thanks Harry it looks awesome!"
Once the puppet was, the way they both wanted harry cast the levitation charm and floated the puppet to the cupboard and gently lowered it inside as he finished, he got a pop-up message
Levitation charm spell created at level 1
"Oh, wow my first message about spells that is cool, so now what?"
"I will merge myself into the puppet now when I give the word you can close the door and turn the key there will be a glow to the door and when that fades away you can open the door and I will be able to come out!"
"ok" he takes a deep breath and waits for her to begin. Aurora moves over to the puppet and slowly sinks into it as she does a bluish white glow flows over the puppets body and shimmers over their wig "Now Harry I'm settled!"
With a gentle pull Harry closes the door and turns they key. With bated berth he watches as the cupboard door glows with gold light then slowly fades away, with shaking hands he turns the key and pulls the door open and standing before him is now a young lady slightly taller than him with mismatch blue and light brown eyes, her fingers for her left hand twirling the ends of her hair and smiling at him. "Hello Harry Potter it's nice to finely meet you face to face, and welcome to the game!"
