Harry gaped in shock. Hermione just swore, he couldn't believe it.
"Harry, really out of everything that is happening to us. It is me swearing that you are stunned by. Really grow up you are acting like Ron."
"OI, I'M NOT THAT BAD." The masters before them started laughing at the by play.
The laughter was quickly cut off as Fate strode into the room.
"Our time is coming to a close, it is time for you to go back. The question is when will you go back."
Harry's eyebrows rose "We get to choose when we go back?"
"Of course, within reason of course. You can't go back to save your parents. I'm sorry but that just can't be done mainly due to the fact that you will going back to your own bodies so even if you go that far back, the events of that All Hollows Eve will still take place so I would not recommend it. I personally recommend during your time at Hogwarts."
Harry turned to Hermione "What do you think?"
"If we go back during 4th year, we could save Cedric. It would give us time to get things put in place to destroy Tom at his resurrection."
Fate cut in "NO, I'm sorry but he has to come back into his body, otherwise horrible things could happen. I do recommend your 4th year, preferably Nov 1st so Harry is emancipated."
"Wait, emancipated what do you mean? I was never emancipated."
James spoke up "Yes, son you were. There is a reason the you never went to Gringotts after 4th year, Twinkles knew the goblins would have told you and he would have lost the leverage over you."
"If I was emancipated then shouldn't have the blood wards have fallen. Then why did I keep having to go back to the Dursleys."
Fate growled "They did fall, not to mention even if they didn't, they wouldn't have helped. Tom was resurrected with YOUR BLOOD!"
Hermione banged her head against the table "We are so stupid; we should have been able to walk right through the blood wards. You never should have gone back there. Though you shouldn't have been there in the first place."
"Wait, you want me to go back to 4th year? Why couldn't I go back to 3rd then I could truly save Sirius. He could be free." Harry stated
"No, Sirius will need to you to have control of your seats within the gamot, and with you not gaining control of your seats till you become emancipated. Not to mention this will help for a cover of any advanced magic you might display; you could pass it off as training to survive the tournament. The only benefit to going to 3rd is you could immediately go for runes and arithmancy." Fate replied with smug certainty.
"Well how am I going to explain my understanding of runes and arithmancy then smart guy?" Harry snarked
Fate glared back at him "You reviewed Hermione's work. You can clam you are a prodigy. Clam it's a family gift. Any of which will work on your class mates."
Harry sighed "Your right I'm sorry"
He looked to Hermione and recognized the look immediately: You know what to do you don't need me: "Well I guess we are going back to 4th year Nov 1st. When do we leave?"
"As soon as possible. Say you're good byes."
Harry got up walked of and hugged his parents in a way that even Hermione would have struggled to achieve. All too soon it was over, and he turned to thank all of the tutors, they cut him off Arthur acting as speaker. "You don't have to thank us it was the right thing to do."
Salazar spoke suddenly "Look through the chamber use my library save my house from what it is becoming please?" He almost begged
Harry's smile became determined "I will do all that I can you have my word."
Fate walked to them reaching to touch the on the shoulders, "Good Luck"
Darkness overcame them.
