A/N: Welcome to the second chapter of Harry Potter and the Paradox of Time. First I would like to thank everyone that has reviewed. None of my stories have gotten reviews so quickly. On a quick note to MadnessLover: I know that 'STUPEFY!' would be Harry's first instinct, but as it said in the chapter Harry was having an out of body experience and he didn't have complete control of his body. Maybe I didn't make that quite clear, but I hope this clears that up. As to the out of body out of control experience that is expanded upon on this chapter and it is a part of the story I have purposely put in there. I promise that it will be explained, just let me get to it. Well on to the show. I'll say some more near the end.

Harry Potter and the Paradox of Time
Chapter 2: Serious Consequences and Revelations

He watched his body in slow motion raise his wand.

It then shouted "AVADA KEDAVRA!"

The figure whirled around just as the giant green bean hit him. Harry then felt himself plummet back into his body and he fell down crying. His only thought/What have I done/

Harry just continued to sob as Lily felt the body bind released because its caster had died. She looked over and saw Harry sobbing and then looked down and spit on the person that had been trying to rape.

She got out of the bed and kicked the body think, Served the bastard right.

She went over to Harry concerned and asked, "Are you ok?"

"Ok! I just killed someone with an Unforgivable no less!" Harry said a little hysterical.

"It's ok you were defending me, surely the Ministry will understand." Lily said trying to comfort the distraught Harry.

"No, I used an Unforgivable, they will put me Azkaban for life!" Harry said not taking comfort.

"Why do you keep calling the Killing Curse an Unforgivable? I've never heard of it like that before." She said confused to his words.

"Oh, I forgot the Ministry doesn't pass that law for another year or two. Basically there are three Unforgivable Curses. They are the Killing Curse, Imperious Curse, and the Crucitas Curse. The use of any of them on another human merits a life sentence in Azkaban. He he, but I still killed someone. That will still get me in Azkaban." Harry said now depressed.

"Potter deserved it. The damn bastard was trying to rape. I hope he rots in hell." Lily said in disgust.

"Did you say Potter?" Harry said in a frightened tone.

"Yah so. I think he had lost it. He kept going on about something making me his own or something like that. He really hasn't been right since his parents died last year." She said with any remorse.

Harry just ignored her and crawled over to James Potter's body turning it over and looking at its face.

"This can't be. Why would he have done this? He was supposed to turn around this year. What have I done?" Harry said all this under breath so Lily couldn't hear him.

Then something dawned on Harry. "It couldn't be, could it?" Harry said this loud enough for Lily to hear as he dove over to his trunk and dug through his stuff to the bottom.

Sure enough there was the little leather photo album Hagrid had given him his first year. He opened it and looked at the very first picture.

For the second time that day it seemed like time slowed down all around Harry. He looked at the picture of his parents in his photo album. When he looked closer at the figure of his father, the eyes flickered from the deep brown of James Potter to the blazing emerald of his own and the figure lifted up its hair and showed the faint trace of Harry's famous lightening bolt shaped scare.

Harry snapped it shut as he noticed Lily sliding over to look at the album he had pulled out. He then shoved it back into his trunk and started throwing stuff back into it. He went to pick up a piece of parchment he had thrown out and he felt a twinge of magic run through his hand. He looked down and saw the note that had started this whole thing in the first place.

He looked at and the old message faded and the parchment elongated and a new message appeared.

Dear Harry,

We are sorry that we had to do this to you. We knew what would happen if Dumbledore died and we weren't around to help you with your task (James or as you now know yourself: Trust me I have seen what could happen and it isn't pretty). That is why we have sent you a letter that was a Temporal Portkey.

You should know what you should do now. You must find the Horcruxes and destroy them. Dumbledore was right when he suspected there were seven of them. We aren't sure what they are or where they might be, but you must find them. We were able to find the Hufflepuff Cup and were close to finding the Ravenclaw artifact, but we think Tom is catching on to us. Everything you need to find and destroy the Horcruxes and how to create Temporal Portkeys you can find in the Potter family vault. Don't worry the vault will know who you are and let you in. Just present them with your current key and ask for the family vault and the goblins will take you down to it.

And don't worry Lily won't be able to read this till you decide to share it with her. We believe in you. We are sure you will do the right thing.

With all our love,
Harry and Lily Potter

P.S. Don't let my older self (Lily) get a hold of this until you are ready to tell here who you really are because I will be able to break the charm that keeps myself from reading this.
P.P.S. Don't tell anyone other than Lily about this, even Dumbledore. She is the only one that needs to know. Anyone else would just be a distraction.

"What is it Harry? I can't read the note. It is all blurred for some reason." Lily said trying to look over his shoulder.

"It's nothing. It was just a note one of my friends sent me." Harry said trying to sound off-handedly as he put the letter in his trunk and sealed it with a password ward he had learned in Defense the past year.

"What was that all about?" Lily asked him.

"It was nothing, but what are we going to do about him?" Harry said jerking his head towards James now lifeless body.

"I say we just let the Ministry take care of it, but if you really have a problem with the Ministry you could just impersonate him. I'm sure you could do it. You would be much better anyways. From the sounds of it you are nice person and we could always use more people like that." Lily said.

Harry thought about. He didn't know much about how Sirius and Remus had been they were young or his James for that manner. But, that was a plus. He would be able to get to know them better. But, how would he act around them or for that matter around Peter. He wasn't sure if he could be around the rat and control himself, knowing what he would do in the future. But, wait he could change that couldn't he? And what about Snape? Harry knew he would have problems around him. He might kill the man on the spot.

After considering it carefully Harry spoke, "Won't his friends notice the change? I hardly know him except for what you have told me. And that Dumbledore has a way of knowing stuff that no one else does. Plus my eyes and this thing will give me away as not being Potter."

"I'll tell you all about his friends. His one friend, Lupin, really nice and I can tell you all about the other two. And Dumbledore, all he does is use a subtly form of Legilimency that is able to read your surface thoughts. I can help you with a technique called Occlumency that will help you out. I know enough to keep that out, and Dumbledore refuses to actively probe a students mind. We can deal with that till September 1st and you can do whatever else you need to get done. As for the eyes, I can charm them the right color and hide the scar. It would just involve a simple glamour charm." Lily told him.

"Alright…I guess I'll do it, but I am going to need to pick some things up first. I'll be back in a few hours. Then we can get out of this house. You shouldn't have to deal with this shit." Harry said after a moment of hesitation.

Lily's eyes started to sparkle when Harry mentioned getting out of her sister's house. "Really? You mean it?" She asked hopefully.

"As long as every thing goes according to plan, I should be able to find a place to stay and you are welcome to come if you would like. Now why don't you charm my face so I'm not given away." He said.

She took his wand and charmed his face. When Lily tried to charm his scar however it wouldn't disappear completely. She managed to get it to fade however, so that now it just looked like a regular scar from a cut that hadn't been properly healed, magically that is.

Once he was all charmed he took his wand away and apparated to The Leaky Cauldron. "Hello, Tom." He said passing by the bar tender not thinking.

"Do I know you?" Tom asked him. Then he looked up and said, "Oh, it's you Master Potter. You have had people worried about you. No one has heard from you in days. Your friend Sirius Black was just asking about you the other day."

"Sorry about any trouble. I have had some things to take care of. If any of my friends come looking for me just tell them that I'll meet them on the train on September 1st." Harry told the not so old bartender.

Tom nodded and gave him a weird look before hurrying to take care of another customer.

Harry just shrugged the look off and continued on to the back and out to the opening to Diagon Ally. He tapped the bricks to get and hurried off down the ally towards the snowy white building in the distance.

Harry reached Gringotts and hurried off inside and got in line for a teller.

When Harry reached the teller he took out his vault key and asked to go to his family vault. The goblin looked at the key very closely and then gave Harry a scrutinizing look that made him very uncomfortable.

"Very well, Mr. Potter, I will have Griphook take you down immediately." He told him and called a goblin by one of the doors leading down to the vaults.

The goblin came over and escorted Harry out of the lobby to one of carts. They both climbed in and they began the ride.

After about twenty minutes of breakneck speeds and hairpin turns they reached a huge vault. Griphook got out and announced, "Vault number 5 Potter Family Vault."

The doors looked to be made out of dark red granite and it had a plate of gold at about shoulder height that had "Potter" inset in rubies at the top of it and the out line of a hand on the lower part.

"This is an old family vault and seeing as such the only way for one to gain access is to place your hand on the outline and state your true whole name." Griphook said given him a meaningful look.

Harry hesitated and then placed his hand on the plate and spoke aloud, "Harry James Potter."

A straight cut appeared to the left of the plate that spanned from floor to ceiling. Then with a great groan the granite slabs slid out and Harry looked into his family vault. He stepped in and he could see shelves of books in the far right corner. Next to it on the back wall were glowing weapons of all shapes and sizes. In the back left corner there piles up to the ceiling of galleons and then the section in front of that was the same with sickles and then the section in the left corner closes to him were knuts.

Then on the right side in the middle section could see art work and what looked muggle file cabinets. And, in the corner to his right there were furniture, clothes, other various things that would go in a household.

"Griphook, are there house deeds and such here also?" Harry asked.

"Yes, Mr. Potter. You will find them over there in those filing cabinets, the third one from the right. I will await you back out in the tunnel take all the time that you need." Griphook told him with a bow and went back outside.

The first thing Harry did was stuff his money bag, which he had enlarged back in Lily's room, full of galleons. He then went over to the book shelves and picked put several books on advanced charms and several really old texts that looked useful. He also grabbed a few ancient looking dark arts books that looked like they might have information on Horcruxes.

Once he got all the books that he thought would be useful he went over to the file cabinet and found the one that Griphook had told him about. He looked through it and sure enough there was a dead for a manor house in Godric's Hollow. He grabbed the supplied apparition coordinates and the portkey for those that couldn't apparate yet. Once he had made sure everything was stored in his enlarged back pack he stepped out.

"Back then? Well get in the cart and we will be on our way." Griphook said seeing him exit the vault.

Harry jumped in the cart and they set off back to the lobby. After another twenty minute thrilling cart ride he exited through the bank doors with one more stop in mind for his trip today.

He pulled his rob tighter around him and kept his head down just like everyone else was doing and started to walk towards Flourish and Blotts. Harry was relieved to see that the store was around in this time and he walked in.

"I would like any new books for 7th year NEWT's at Hogwarts for: Charms, Defense against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, and Potions." Harry asked politely.

The clerk quickly found all the books as Harry went back and found book on occlumency.

"Ok. That will be 10 galleons for your 2 new school books and another galleon for the one you picked out. That brings your total to 11 galleons." The clerk told him ringing up his purchases.

Harry counted out 11 galleons from his money bag and stuffed the books into his almost full back pack. Harry thanked the clerk and he stepped outside. Once Harry was outside he tried to apparate, but when he did he felt a big amount of pressure slam him back onto the ground.

Harry rubbed his butt while a girl giggled at him.

"What?" Harry asked indignantly.

"Don't you read the papers there has been a warning about apparition wards for the past two months. You just hit them. That is why you fell on your ass." The girl told him before walking off.

Harry just cursed and stood back up. Just as Harry finished dusting himself off he heard screams coming from the direction of the Leaky Cauldron followed by a small explosion. Harry cursed and ran up the street towards the Leaky Cauldron.

Just on this side of the barrier to Diagon Ally there was a group of six Deatheaters sending curses at people and buildings. Harry saw the girl from just a few minutes ago running at him when a deadly green curse collided with her in the back and she fell at Harry's feet lifeless. Harry then heard another Deatheater shout the killing curse and he saw jet of green light heading straight for him.

Harry dived to the side and he saw another curse that had been fired at where he dived. He didn't have time to dodge this one because he was lying prone on the ground. Then just like earlier when he had killed James time slowed down and he lost control of his body.

His body just rolled over really quickly and stood up said, "Potentio Mutiplo Stupefy!" He saw a huge red light leave his wand and it then separated into 30 different beams. Each Deatheater tried to through a shield up but they couldn't concentrate enough because of the blazing light that was hurdling towards them. Those that did weren't any luckier though. Each Deatheater got hit by all five stunners that got shot at them, those that had raised shields had their shields shattered as they were hastily constructed and couldn't hold out against the five very powerful Harry. Every single Deatheater fell to the ground with bloody noses.

But, it had been no use. Ten Deatheaters stepped out of the now clear entrance, but for some reason the Deatheaters weren't able to revive their fallen comrades. They just shrugged it off and turned to Harry.

Harry just watched with amazement with no control over his body. His body didn't wait for the Deatheaters to attack however. It shouted a spell that Harry knew he had never heard of before, "Jabitha!"

An emerald flame shaped like a lightening bolt shot out of his wand and skewered two Deatheaters that were still trying to revive their fallen soldiers.

Harry watched his body shoot another few bolts of the emerald flame and the Deatheaters dived to the sides after the second one passed straight through one of their shield (The Deatheater is using a shield against magic this a bolt of actually fire). Harry's body then shouted, "Incurxitialus!"

Then it took off at a dead run into the Leaky Cauldron. Once it was inside Harry felt the familiar sensation of his consciousness plummeting back into his body. Inside there were another five Deatheaters that looked surprised to see him in their. Harry panicked and he managed to see all five Deatheaters shoot the Killing Curse at him as he disapparated and a large group of Auror apparated in.

Harry reappeared in Lily's room and collapsed onto her bed. He almost passed out, but he managed to stay conscious. He panted for a little while before Lily came back into here room.

"Is that you, Harry?" Lily said coming into the room. Lily walked into the room with only a towel wrapped around her chest. She had been taking shower. But, when she saw Harry laying on here bed panting with cuts and scraps on his face she forgot about holding her arms down and she rushed over to Harry.

"Harry, are you ok? What happened?" She asked concern washing over her.

"Deatheaters…Diagon Ally." Harry managed to get out.

"Was anyone heart? Did anyone call the Aurors?" Lily asked frightened.

"Harry took a few deep breaths and managed to sit. Lily backed away. When Harry looked at her he blushed.

"What?" She asked seeing his blush, but then she looked down and saw that here towel had slid down a bit and was coming close to revealing her chest to Harry. "Oh! I'll be right back." She grabbed some clothes and rushed back to the bathroom.

Harry was embarrassed as he continued to catch his breath and had to fight through another dizzy spell before Lily reappeared properly clothed.

"So tell me what happened." Lily said as she sat down in the chair at her little desk.

"I was at Diagon Ally taking care of some business. After I had finished I was heading back to the Leaky Cauldron to apparate out when I heard some screams and an explosion." Harry continued recounting the events of the day even telling her about his weird experience when he fought the Deatheaters (he also filled her in on how it had happened when James had tried to rape her).

Lily was equally puzzled but agreed to look in to it when they reached Hogwarts.

Harry had suggested they leave now, but Lily demanded that he rest and forced him to do so.

Harry fell asleep instantly because he was no longer trying to fight the exhaustion.

Harry awoke the next day at nine o'clock. Lily had been up since eight and had packed up all her stuff.

Once Harry was up he put his bags from the past day into his trunk and made sure he had everything that he had used the past two days.

Once he was done Lily asked, "Are you ready to go now? I wrote a note that explained a little about where I had gone for my sister, so we can just leave from here if you want." She said anxious to leave.

Harry shook his head. "I think it is time someone taught your sister and her husband a few manners. I'm going to have a little fun. You are welcome to watch if you want." Harry said with a grin.

"Really? Cool!" Lily said with a mischievous grin on her face.

Harry nodded and opened the door and purposely stomped down the stairs hitting every creaky step and floorboard he could remember.

"GIRL, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING MAKING ALL THAT RUCKUS?" An all too familiar male voice shouted from the kitchen.

Harry just blew the kitchen door off its hinges and stepped into the door.

"Hello Vernon, Petunia. I think it is time for someone to show you how to treat people properly," Harry said coolly as it seemed like venom dripped off his words in the air.

They cringed when Harry whipped out his wand. "I wonder how I should kill you. There are so many wonderful spells I could use." Harry said as he twirled his wand.

The two Dursleys looked on in fear and horror. Harry laughed at their faces. "Don't worry, I was only kidding I won't hurt you, though you do deserve it for how you have treated your own sister. This is a warning. If I ever find out that you ever even try to lay a single finger on Lily or any of her magical friends or relatives, I will personally come back from the grave and haunt you for the rest of your lives making it a living hell that is if I am died. If I am still alive I will make sure that you never see the light again for the rest of your lives, which I assure you will be a very very long time. This warning applies to any children you two horrible people happen to have. And now for a parting gift," Harry waved his wand and twin beams of red light exited his wand and knocked the Dursleys out.

"That was priceless. Thanks Harry. As mush as I would love to stay," Lily said this with much sarcasm, "Let's get going. How are we getting there?"

"Portkey. Touch this paper and grab a hold of your trunk." He waited for her to touch the piece of paper and then said, "Godric's Hollow Activate!"

They felt the tug behind their navel as the portkey activated and a few seconds later they both landed in a rich garden on fertile green lawn.

A/N: So? What do you think of the second chapter? In the next chapter: training and the rest of the summer. I hope that I expanded a little on Harry's little experiences. I hope you have enjoyed it. R&R!

A/N (2): (Added October 13, 2006) I have been getting alot of reviews for this chapter about how this is not possible. You must understand how I look at time. The way I look at time is whenever someone would change time an alternate universe would be created. As more and more universes are created all the realities start to deteriorate. Eventually they would all collapse on each other and the universe would be destroyed or it would be one hell of a messed up place. James going psycho is one of the signs that the universes are starting to unravel. Somewhere back a few jumps, Harry was the child of the real James Potter and Lily Potter. So he would be able to get into the Potter vault, but James Potter would only have been his Great-Great-(Keep going I haven't decided how far back it should go) Grand Father, while Lily Potter is his Mother. If you still don't like my story then please don't read. I won't force you.
